The Transformation
Alex stood up.
The moment he did, he felt it—
His entire body had changed.
His hoodie felt tighter. His legs felt lighter.
Then he saw his reflection in the park fountain.
And he froze.
The difference was undeniable.
He had grown taller.
His arms and legs were toned, defined.
His entire frame was built for power and speed.
"…Holy sh**."
He clenched his fist. His veins pulsed.
Strength. Real, tangible strength.
He took a deep breath.
Then—he started jogging again.
Jogging Through the City – Effortless Power
At first, he expected to get tired.
But he didn't.
His breathing? Perfectly steady.
His legs? Moving effortlessly.
His stamina? Barely dipping at all.
It felt unnatural.
No.
It felt right.
He picked up the pace.
Soon, he was sprinting.
New York City blurred past him as he ran through the streets.
But he still wasn't tired.
People Start Noticing
And then, he realized—he was being watched.
A woman jogging in the opposite direction slowed down, blinking at him.
A street vendor, mid-sentence, paused to stare.
Even a construction worker on a scaffold did a double take.
He wasn't sure if it was because of:☑ His ridiculous speed.☑ His sudden growth spurt.☑ The sheer aura of 'Holy sh**, this guy is different.'
Either way—people were starting to notice.
Alex swallowed, adjusting his hoodie. Keep moving.
Jogging through the city, he let his mind drift.
This power, this change—what did it mean for him now? Was he still just a normal guy caught in the crossfire of something bigger? Or had he finally stepped into something more?
For now, all he knew was this: He wasn't just some survivor anymore.
He was becoming something else entirely.
