A warm hue covered the entirety of the sky, indicating the new day has finally arrived once more.
Tit! Tit! Tit!
The sound of the alarm woke Jared up. He usually woke up early between 5 or 6, but because he kept thinking about the mission, he stayed up late at night.
He removed the blanket and stood up. Stretching his body with his eyes wander across the expansive landscape beyond his window.
"Good morning Luna" he greeted through thin air.
["Good morning, master Jared"]
Luna greeted him back.
Jared headed into the bathroom to take a shower. The warm water flowing through his skin making Jared breathe in comforting relaxation.
After having a bath, he exited the room and walked directly to the kitchen to prepare his own breakfast because no one was home to care for him.
Jared stood beside the kitchen, pondering what to make. His mind flashed to a different recipe he had learnt from the cookbook. However, because the book contains so many dishes, he was unable to decide what to make.
After much deliberation, he let out a sigh of surrender and eventually asked his only companion.
"Luna. What do you think i will have for breakfast?. I want something light. I don't want to be overstuffed early in the morning"
Luna began actively searching through the program's information archives after receiving the question. As a system assistant, Luna must be efficient in her duties and ensure that Jared is satisfied.
["Avocado toast. Freshly baked bread topped with mashed avocado, combined with a variety of spices and flavourful ingredients. Don't forget the egg. Serve with freshly brewed coffee for better pair.
Avocados are high in vitamin E, which maintains the skin healthy and moisturised. It also works as an immune booster, preventing colds and flu. Avocados are high in dietary fibre. It helps to neutralise cholesterol and eliminate it out of the body. It also delays digestion and absorption, so you feel fuller for longer.
Health eating means healthy living"]
After hearing Luna, Jared went through his head. Luckily, the ingredients are also written in the book.
It didn't take long before the breakfast was served. The toasted bread and creamy avocado, with fresh spices and toppings glide through his mouth as he savor each bite.
"Very nice, Luna. Thank you" he stated, satisfied.
["Glad to be of help"]
After filling his stomach with a light meal, the system rang.
[Ding!
Would you like to sign-in today?]
Jared didn't think twice and promptly replied, "yes" to the system.
[Ding!
Today's reward will depend on your luck.
Golden roulette has a lot of rewards to offer, and so has a lot of dissapointment.
Would you like to proceed]
He could easily envision what the system had in store for him. And without hesitation, he replied, "Yes".
[Ding!
Golden roulette is spinning.
Waiting for the reward]
Jared could see the roulette spinning at a faster pace. Moments later, the roulette started to decelerate and then stopped.
With the arrow pointing at the lower right corner, making Jared furrowed in dissapointment. The picture looks like a medicine capsule.
[Ding!
Congratulations host. You have received, one Body Evolution Pill]
Dissapointment was clearly visible in Jared's face. He wanted something useful like business property or money.
"Body Evolution Pill? What was that?"
[Ding!
Body Evolution Pill is a pill that instantly modifies your physique, making it look more fit and refined without appearing overweight, underweight, thin, or bulky. Just the proper proportion that will make you look more attractive in the eyes of others]
Hearing the system's explanation, his brow loosening, providing Jared a sense of satisfaction with the unexpected reward.
"I would love that"
[Ding!
The pill was on your bed.
Please make sure that your body is covered with cold water before taking the pill.
The pill effect is no joke.
It will subject your body to severe heat and suffering, causing your body to alter instantly. This implies your body will experience intense pain and agony over a few minutes]
By the sound of the system explanation, it seems like the pill will give him a hard time.
He thought about for a moment. He eventually returned into his bedroom and noticed a tiny box on top of his bed. He opened the box and found a gold-colored round capsule inside.
"Can i take this now?"
[Ding!
Depends on you]
After looking at the pill for quite some time, Jared went to the bathroom and opened the shower. He stands under the water, as it runs down his entire body, and swallows the pill.
He took a deep breath, waiting for something to happen.
"Is it defect---aaaarrrrggghh!"
A tremendous surged of pain invaded his entire system, causing him to crumple down on the cold wet floor. Every part of him starting to feel extremely hot, as if it were burning. His head is pounding like it's about to split. His racing heartbeat seemed like it was about to burst out of his ribcage.
He could not help but cuss within his head while writhing in agony on the floor. He felt as if his bones were shattering and his flesh twisted. The agonising anguish seized all the cells in his entire body, and he was unable to speak.
He felt his body crashing every area of the shower while tossing and turning. He didn't have time to think about the water that was entering his nose, ears, and mouth due to the excruciating agony. The system's description of twisting flesh and bones cracking is undeniable.
It took only a few minutes but the pain feels like forever for Jared.
After the heat and pain faded, he was unable to lift a finger, let alone speak. His eyesight blurs as the entire surroundings continues to twist. All he did was catch his breath and lay down on the floor as the water continued to pour, and his eyes slowly closed.
[Ding!
Transformation Complete.
The host body has fully transformed.]
.
.
.
After hours of deep sleep, Jared woke up. He stood up slowly, leaning on the shower glass wall to support himself. He leans on the glass while breathing heavily.
"That was one hell of an experience," he muttered under his breath, recalling what had occurred hours earlier. He felt agonising pain, as if death were holding his feet and pulling him to hell, and his entire body was on fire.
This by far, the most memorable experience he ever had. The twisting pain is so unbearable that it's imprinted in his mind.
"F*ck! Let's see if it's worth it" he uttered while undressing himself.
He went over to a bathroom mirror and examine himself. His frame is neither slim nor big, yet his abs look like he's been working out for years. His muscles were likewise honed, but not to the point where they were excessively large or massive. His height also increases, and his legs appear longer than before, as if he has undergone surgery.
"Holy sh*t! I look like a model in a magazine with nothing but pants and shoes. This drastic change is amazing"
[Ding!
That wasn't an understatement. The Pill transforms your body not just in terms of strength and height, but also in terms of your lower body.
Be thankful. That pill is one in a million]
His eyes widen and he quickly lowered his gaze. He wanted to admire himself but he opted not to, to restrain himself to the specific role.
He immediately shook his head and shifted his focus on himself. "Thanks, and forget about that part"
[Ding!
Body transformation is not forever. Proper basic exercise is needed to maintain your physique.A healthy body means healthy living]
He nodded in agreement.
"Let's start tomorrow. I have to find a Charity to donate the money"
After showering and getting himself ready, Jared drove away from the community. He must finish the mission assigned by the system. He would be unable to purchase the necessary items unless he completed the mission and received the 100x rebates. He need the money to cover his daily expenses.
While driving on the even surface of the road, Jared's gaze switched to the opposite side. People are moving into the building. He made a U-turn and parked in the empty spot, crowding the place. People who saw the car parked in the space couldn't help but stare at it, notably Jared, who had just gotten out.
While Jared was looking at the banner hanging on the building front, a child was staring at the car.
"Woah. Lycan! That's a freakin' Lycan. That cost fortunes. Super expensive"
Although the child's face was bewildered by the car and it's cost, he understood the word 'super expensive'. He ran towards Jared and held his hand which made Jared startled.
"Brother. Your car is pretty. Are you here to give money?" The child's almond eyes stared at Jared.
"Give money?"
Jared's eyes shifted towards the bustling entrance filled with flowers and stalls. His lips curved up to a smile and eventually replied to the child, "yes. I'm here to give money".
He couldn't take his eyes off the banner hanging outside.
