"You said I'm limited by my imagination and the amount of energy I possess."
[Yes, sir.]
"So, how much energy do I currently have?"
[You have enough energy to erase a 20-story building if you wish.]
Ethan was surprised by his power, then said, "Show status."

Ethan thought, "It seems a bit primitive. Let's change it a little." He smiled excitedly and began to imagine.
I want it to contain status panels that show my condition, my strength, and the energy I possess. Also, a list of skills I will acquire later. Ethan thought, and then a light began to shine from the panel in front of him.
He opened his eyes and looked excitedly.

Ethan observed the changes made to the system panel and analyzed them carefully, then began asking questions.
"System, what does the Body attribute mean?"
[The Body attribute includes strength, speed, and stamina. Each of them holds ten points.]
"So, am I strong?"
[Sir, the average statistics for an adult human are three points.]
Ethan was surprised by his strength, then asked, "I don't remember being this strong."
[This is due to a transformation in both your body and spirit upon awakening your talent. They were refined and strengthened with energy.]
Ethan nodded at this, as it explained his rapid healing and increased strength in a short time.
"System, how do I increase my energy?"
[Your energy increases with each renewal. In other words, every time you use it, the amount of energy increases after it regenerates.]
After asking all the questions that needed answers, he thought about increasing his strength. "System, how do I increase my strength?"
[Sir, you are free to choose the method you want to achieve things. Just imagine it.]
Ethan smiled upon hearing the answer and began to imagine a way to increase his strength. After a short while, Ethan imagined a pill like the ones found in Eastern cultivation novels, which increase attributes to the limits of human potential.
After a few moments, he felt drained and noticed a spherical object in his hand. He opened his eyes, sweating, and saw a golden pill in his palm. He smiled, then checked his status.

Ethan noticed the sharp drop in his energy and realized he needed to be more cautious in the future. Then he looked back at the pill in his hand.
"It better be worth the energy I spent on it."
Without hesitation, he put it in his mouth and swallowed it. After a few moments, he didn't feel anything, and as he was about to ask the system a question, he felt immense pain and pressure throughout his body. He froze in place and began screaming involuntarily. After a few seconds, the pain subsided and was replaced by a refreshing sensation spreading through his body. He felt a surge of strength and energy filling him. He looked at his body, which was drenched in sweat and covered in some black residue with a foul smell.
"I guess these are called impurities, and they came out of my body as a result of refining my internal organs."
Ethan smiled, and suddenly the door opened, and Olivia entered. She looked at his condition and said in panic, "What happened?!"
Ethan thought quickly and said, "I felt weak, so I tried to do some warm-up exercises, but I stumbled and fell to the ground." Despite his weak excuse, Olivia didn't think much about it and said worriedly, "You just got out of the hospital, and look at you doing foolish things right after leaving. You need to rest."
Ethan felt her concern and said gently, "Sorry, I'll be more careful in the future."
Olivia sighed in worry, then noticed a foul smell and looked at her sweaty brother. "I think you need a shower. You're sweating a lot."
Ethan's face turned red, and he said awkwardly, "Alright, I'll go right away."
Olivia pinched her nose, then left and closed the door, disgusted by the smell.
"I need to be more careful in the future," he reminded himself, then headed to the bathroom, turned on the shower, and washed away the impurities. He looked at his body and felt a slight change in its appearance. Although nothing had visibly changed, he felt he had become more handsome and masculine. He looked at his body, now adorned with well-proportioned muscles, then sat in the bathtub and said to himself,
'Show status.'

Ethan looked at his attributes and felt a surge of euphoria, then noticed his energy, which had barely regenerated.
"System, how much time is needed to fully regenerate my energy?"
[To fully regenerate your energy, you need seven hours, sir.]
Ethan was surprised by the amount of time required, then asked, "How can I speed up my energy regeneration?"
[The speed of regeneration depends on your Body and Spirit attributes. The stronger they become, the faster the regeneration. As for how, it's up to you, sir.]
Ethan thought as he dried himself and left the bathroom, considering various ways to strengthen himself, but all of them required a long time. Then he looked at the system interface and noticed the option for race. He asked, "System, can I evolve my race?"
[Yes, sir.]
Ethan smiled and decided to try it after fully regenerating his energy. At that moment, he heard his sister calling, "Ethan, dinner is ready!"
He replied, "Coming!" He put on his clothes and left his room, heading to the kitchen. He sat at the dining table, and Olivia served the food, then sat across from him.
Ethan looked at the food, then at his sister, and said with a smile, "Thank you." Ethan began eating voraciously; he was very hungry after the transformation he had undergone.
Olivia looked at her brother's ravenous eating and said gently, "Eat slowly so you don't choke." As she looked at him, she noticed a change in his appearance. He had become more handsome and exuded an aura of strength. She noticed it but didn't ask, as her concern for her brother after his hospital stay overshadowed her curiosity.
They ate together, and after finishing, Ethan stood up and said, "I'm going to sleep. I feel tired." His sister, still eating, replied, "Alright, good night. Should I wake you up for school tomorrow?"
Ethan agreed, then went up to his room, lay on the bed, and began thinking about what he would do tomorrow. As he thought, he closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
