Huff Huff*
Sound of heavy breathing could be heard as Michael was going on a 10km jog at the end of his morning exercise which he had been following daily. It was from a manga he had read which followed 100 pushups, 100 situps, 100 air squats, and a 10-km run.
It may have not been the best exercise routine in the world, but it did it's job and helped him get pretty shredded much more than he thought it would.
Michael paused for a while while putting his hands on his legs to catch his breathe, 'I could complete it all under 30 minutes' he thought as he breathe loudly.
Quickly he went back home took a quick snack and water break and took a shower.
***
"Haaa..." He sighed as a cold shower always felt good after a through excercise in the summer heat. He walked towards his room and checked his body out. Which had muscles that were visible and well-developed, good abdominal muscles, wide shoulder's and an overall great body.
He complimented himself in his mind with a backpat and looked at his face, he had a sharp nose and a sharp jaw line, black hair that were slightly wavy. Overall he looked as handsome as a top-tier model. He stopped staring at himself and got dressed.
***
He wore a black shirt and black pants along with fingerless gloves. He looked at himself and gave himself a mental nod, while going for his boxing practice. He recently started boxing about 2 months ago as he felt it was the easiest to start from. He also wanted to learn something like taekwondo but that could wait.
Although he might looked like he had been born this way but it was mostly hardwork and the right people that got him to his currrent position. He used to be like the average person, no major goals in life, no good body or posture, low confidence and all. But one day on newtube he saw a channel that helped young men become better versions of themselves.
He found that very intresting watched a few videos and started working on his life. He searched for more channels like it and he just continued doing it and felt joy from it.
He stopped reminiscing about his younger days put on his black sports shoes and opened the door to find a strange portal right in front of him.It was a mixture of black and purple that looked like a black hole. His instincts told him it was something bad, he took a quick step back but it still swallowed him into it.
He felt his whole world going blank as he felt a long time had gone and no time had gone at the same time.
***
He suddenly woke up in an unknown area he quickly jumped up and entered a boxing stance unknowingly. He looked at his surroundings and it was made up of stone's that looked extremely ancient. He still felt a little weird after that portal sucked him, but he noticed a path in fornt of him.
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
He tried to go in the other directions but it felt like an invisible barrier didn't allow him to go anyware and with no other available option he walked where the path was pointing.
After about a minute of walking he saw 4 portals infornt of him, they were golwing differently. From left to right they were blue, green, red and purple. He squinted his eyes and saw easy above the blue portal, medium over the green one, red on the hard one and Terror on the purple one.
He was extremely confused about what to do as he couldn't run away in any other direction as an invisible barrier didn't let him move.
He thought for a while until he saw a text suddenly appear infront of his eyes.

He read what was written infornt of him in blue and white texts. "...Titan's Body?" He whispered quietly as he felt great pain overwhelm his entire body.
"ARRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH" He screamed in pain until he blacked out completely.
***
He woke up after an unknown amount of time, he felt his head hurting and he got up. Instantly he noticed a change in view. He had grown taller and not by a little bit he was roughly 7 feet tall! Not only that he felt great strength in his whole body, he felt he could break a whole mountain with a punch.
He took long breathes and he thought about the system he had read in novels and seen in anime. He thought about 'profile' as in most shows it was shown to show up by thinking or saying about it. Instantly text appeared in front of him.

He saw a ten in brackets ner his body, it must have to do with the transformation he had a moment ago. He clicked on the ability titans body and it opened up.
Titan's Body: Gives the user the strength of a titan. Doubles all body stats.
He read the definition and felt it was an amazing skill but he couldn't be sure as other people may also have abilities of these levels for all he knew, his ability could be barely above average. He carefully read the text and the ability basically doubled his body stats. WHich probably are stats related to his strength, speed, endurance and all.
He read of his class and he saw regressor instantly he thought,' So I come back in time everytime I die?'
A godly ability that brought back someone to the past but it was mostly a curse for he had seen in many novels and animes where the main character detested this ability.
Just to make sure he clicked on the class and it showed him his class details.
Regressor: After your death sends you back to an alternate timeline.
He then clicked on his class skill.
Deva vu: Allows you to retain 50% of all your skills and abilities instantly and allows you to get the rest of it slowly over time.
"....." Even thought he practically guessed it, he still felt his mouth widen from the suprise.
'Well....I I can't die either way why don't I try going into the Purple Portal.
He thougth about it for a bit and felt there was nothing wrong going into it.
He went inside the purple portal. He saw an arrow coming towards him in lighting speed, and before he could react. His body fell right down as his head got pierced. He was dead.
