(Early this morning befor going to j high school)
The alarm rang sharply at 5 AM. Daniel Park's original body, the chubby and plump one, groaned and stretched. Despite the discomfort of his physical state, there was a fire within him—an unyielding determination to transform himself. The day was dedicated to rigorous exercise, pushing his limits, and honing his newly acquired Retaekwondo skills.
Retaekwondo, a martial art originating from the God of High School, was known for its powerful kicks, fluid movements, and adaptability in combat. Daniel remembered the sequences vividly: the Hurricane Kick, a spinning whirlwind that could disorient opponents; the Scissor Kick, a precise and deadly maneuver aimed at vital points; and the Phoenix Dive, a gravity-defying attack that combined speed and power.
As he trained, every muscle screamed in protest, but he persisted. His body, although weak and frail initially, began to show subtle changes. His muscles were responding, growing firmer and more defined. The perfect copy skill he had chosen at character creation was working wonders, allowing him to master techniques with an almost supernatural ease.
By midday, sweat drenched his clothes, and his body ached in places he didn't know could hurt. Yet, there was progress. He could feel the incremental improvements with each passing hour. He knew it would be a long journey to reach his ideal physical form, but every step forward was a victory.
During exercising and Retaekwondo Training Daniel knew that building muscle and gaining fitness would take time, but with his dual-body advantage, he could expedite the process. He incorporated a blend of high-intensity interval training (HIIT), calisthenics, and weightlifting into his routine. Every push-up, pull-up, and squat was a step towards transforming his past self.
Retaekwondo, as described in the lore of the "God of High School," was a martial art emphasizing fluid, powerful movements, combining traditional Taekwondo with dynamic combat techniques. Daniel focused on mastering techniques more techniques alomg with above mentioned such as:
Kwon Double Kick: A rapid double kick that could be used both defensively and offensively.
Phoenix Kick: A high, spinning kick designed to disorient and incapacitate opponents.
Hwechook: A devastating spinning back kick that generated immense force and was perfect for countering stronger foes.
Each technique required precise control and immense physical conditioning. Daniel's training was rigorous, combining these high-level martial arts techniques with his newfound strength and agility. His weak body was evolving, muscle fibers tearing and rebuilding, becoming more efficient every hour.
During his breaks, Daniel's thoughts often wandered to his mother. In his previous life, as an orphan, he never experienced maternal love. But in this life, his mother was a beacon of warmth and care. Her sacrifices weighed heavily on his mind, and every drop of sweat shed in his training was a promise to make her life better.
After an intense day of training, it was time for the smaller Daniel to switch roles. As the perfect body made its way back from school, the smaller body freshened up, showered, and started preparing dinner. Rummaging through the sparse pantry, Daniel realized they were running low on supplies. This realization underscored the urgent need for a steady source of income
While cooking a simple yet nutritious meal, Daniel's mind raced with ideas. He considered various avenues for quick money, from odd jobs to more unorthodox methods. As he thought about his fight with Vasco earlier in the day, he realized that the reputation he had started building could be leveraged.
After dinner, Daniel, in his perfect body, decided to scout the narrow streets around J High School. He was looking for trouble, hoping to find bullies to put in their place and possibly extort some cash from them. As he roamed the dimly lit alleys, his sharp eyes caught sight of an advertisement: "Model Needed – Good Pay." The pay was significantly better than what the past Daniel had earned at convenience stores
Intrigued, Daniel asked around and found his way to a quaint yet classy clothing store. The store was impressive, with transparent glass showcasing various wardrobes and a multitude of clothes. As Daniel admired the setup, his eyes landed on a beautiful women's dress. It reminded him of his mother in this life, evoking a deep sense of nostalgia. In his previous life, he envied the love and care depicted in Lookism between Daniel and his mother. Now, he cherished every memory and warmth she provided
The price of the dress wasn't exorbitant, but it was still beyond what his past self could afford. He knew his mother could manage the expense, but she often prioritized sending money to him for his well-being. Determined to provide her a comfortable life, he felt a surge of resolve to earn enough to relieve her burdens.
As he entered the store, the owner's eyes lit up. She was captivated by his looks and immediately saw potential.
"Are you here for the modeling job?" she asked, a hint of excitement in her voice.
"Yes, ma'am," Daniel replied confidently. "I saw the ad and thought I might be a good fit."
As she sized him upApproaching him, she offered, "Hey, Mr. Handsome, if you could model for our store, I'd pay you enough to afford a quarter of the clothes here. It would be a long-term basis."
Daniel, seeing an opportunity, replied, "Let's have a long-term collaboration. As my popularity grows, I'll bring more attention to your store. If you invest in me, we can be partners. Your store will sponsor me, and I'll model for you." , Daniel's mind was already working on the possibilities. Modeling could be a lucrative side gig, giving him the funds he needed to support his dual lives and perhaps even open the gym he had been dreaming about.
He was slightly nervous, having no business experience from his past life. Yet, he maintained a calm and confident demeanor. The shop owner, recognizing his potential, agreed. "Okay, I'll pay your wages and give you 35% of the profits from increased sales. The rest will go to me."
Both satisfied with the arrangement, Daniel signed the documents, agreeing to photoshoots three days a week or four times in two weeks. As he left the store with an advance payment, he felt a sense of accomplishment. His path to supporting his mother and building his future was becoming clearer.
Returning home, Daniel's original body continued its relentless training. As he prepared dinner, his thoughts lingered on his mother's sacrifices. He resolved to ensure she would never have to struggle again. Every dish he prepared was a token of his gratitude, every muscle he built a promise to protect and provide.
In the calm of the evening, as Daniel's two lives converged, he felt an overwhelming sense of purpose. The road ahead was long and arduous, but with each step, he moved closer to his goals—stronger, wiser, and more determined than ever.
