Jae-min woke up the next morning, invigorated and ready to conquer the day. With only four days remaining until his ultimate goal of 60 kg, his determination had never been stronger. The echoes of his past life as Tae-sik fueled his relentless pursuit, igniting a fire within him that refused to be extinguished.
Another Day, Another Challenge
After a quick breakfast of oatmeal and protein shake—his staple fuel—he glanced at the mirror, noting the subtle changes in his physique. His reflection revealed a boy on the brink of transformation, the contours of his muscles slowly emerging beneath the skin. "Just a little more," he encouraged himself, clenching his fists.
Revival System:
"Daily Goal: Complete 20 hours of extreme exercises."
"Current Weight: 66 kg - Days Remaining: 4."
Jae-min headed straight to the gym, his heart pounding in rhythm with the determination thrumming in his veins. He entered the room like a gladiator stepping into the arena, ready for battle.
An Unforgiving Regimen
Today's routine was grueling and designed to push him beyond his limits. He focused on high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to maximize calorie burn:
Burpees: 30 seconds on, 15 seconds rest for 10 rounds.Sprints: 1-minute sprint followed by 1-minute walk, repeated for 20 minutes.Jump Rope: 15 minutes non-stop.Push-Ups: 4 sets of max reps.
As he powered through the exercises, beads of sweat dripped from his brow, each drop a testament to his relentless drive. With every burpee, he felt lighter, both physically and mentally, as the memories of his past tormentors faded further away.
"Fat loser," he murmured under his breath, using Eunji's words as fuel to power through the final set of push-ups. "Not anymore."
The Price of Transformation
After an hour of rigorous training, Jae-min paused, panting heavily. He sat on the gym floor, his body trembling from exhaustion. He glanced at the clock; it was only the beginning of his training marathon.

Jae-min felt a wave of satisfaction wash over him. He was not just shedding weight; he was building resilience, turning the pain of the past into the power of the present.
Facing the Music
After an intense session, he returned home, ready to prepare for the next phase of his journey. He knew his parents would be waiting for him, concerned about his obsession with fitness. But today, he was prepared to stand firm in his conviction.
As expected, his mother's worried expression greeted him in the kitchen. "Jae-min, you need to take a break. This isn't healthy."
"I'm fine, Mom," he replied, his tone firm. "I'm doing this for myself. I need to prove I can change."
His father chimed in, "But what about school? You can't keep missing classes."
"I'll catch up, I promise," Jae-min assured them. He understood their concerns but felt an urgency that he couldn't explain.
A Shift in Perspective
With renewed resolve, he headed to his room to continue training. The clock was ticking down, and he had to make every second count. Jae-min devised a plan to combine his workout with studying to maximize productivity.
He set up his textbooks on his desk, propped open to chapters he needed to review. Between sets of squats, he would memorize formulas and concepts. "Multitasking is key," he told himself as he powered through both studies and workouts.
Physical and Mental Strength
As the day turned to night, the intensity of his training escalated. The Revival System's voice buzzed in his mind, pushing him to exert every ounce of energy left in his body.
"Daily Goal: Complete 20 hours of extreme exercises."
With a mind sharpened from studying and a body ignited from training, he engaged in a combination of calisthenics and strength training:
Weighted Lunges: 4 sets of 15Dumbbell Rows: 4 sets of 12Mountain Climbers: 5 sets of 30 seconds
Each exercise felt like a victory against the shadows of his past. Jae-min was determined to leave no room for weakness.

A New Mindset
In those quiet moments before sleep took him, Jae-min contemplated the changes happening within him. He was not just a boy trying to escape his past; he was becoming a force to be reckoned with.
"This is just the beginning," he whispered to himself, determination hardening in his heart. Tomorrow, he would break through another barrier, and with each passing day, he would get closer to the man he wanted to become.
The countdown continued, and Jae-min was ready to embrace the challenge ahead, fueled by the strength of his newfound identity and the whispers of the past urging him on. The world was changing, and he was at the forefront of his own revolution
