The Bodyguard System

The moment that Jaden got back to his residence, he immediately looked at the prompt that had appeared in front of him.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. Calculations are being made according to the completion of the mission.]

[The host has been rewarded with a physique enhancing pill.]

[Physique enhancing pill: once taken, the pill can improve the physique of the person who has taken it by three times the current physique.]

Jaden was slightly stunned upon seeing the information about the reward that he had received. Could it be that the system could give him something that he wanted?

Right now, the thing that he was yearning for the most was none other than something that could improve his physical capabilities. It was only after he got physically stronger, that he could completely exhibit the intermediate combat skills.

And now, somehow, after he completed the mission, he was rewarded with this. And thinking about it, a pill that could enhance his physique by three times, this was definitely not something simple.

But he deserved it. After all, this time, the mission was extremely dangerous. Even he himself did not believe just how easy it was for him to be able to get out of that situation. He was sure that if there was an existing grudge between him and the gangsters, they would not have let them leave just like that.

In short, this time, his life was in extreme danger. So, this reward was well deserved. And, after taking it, he would definitely get stronger than before, and it would be easier for him to be able to handle even riskier missions in the future.

Jaden contemplated for a moment. According to logic, it was better for him to take the pill later on, when he got stronger. That implied that he would have to bet that the system would give him something else that would enable him to get stronger, though on a lower level.

The only disadvantage on this was that he did not know when he was going to receive something that would strengthen him. Additionally, it might not happen at the end of it all, considering that the rewards that came from the system seemed to be given randomly, though the quality considered the danger level and the completion of the mission.

Additionally, right now, Jaden was facing even more danger. For instance, if that group of gangsters attacked once again, and by bad luck, they were in the same place that this group of gangsters had decided to attack, they would definitely be in deep trouble.

So, for him to think about the future, he had to be alive. For that reason, Jaden decided that he was going to take the pill right now. If he saved it for the future, and died the following day, it would be a complete loss.

The moment that Jaden thought about the pill, with a flash of light, the pill appeared on the bedside cabinet. Immediately, Jaden took it, and looked at it.

The pill was pale blue In color, and it was the size of half an adult's pinky fingernail. It did not give any form of fragrance, completely odorless.

After looking at it for a few more seconds, Jaden immediately put it inside his mouth. He did not doubt that this pill did not have any side effect on him. It was given to him by the system, and Jaden did not believe that the system would want to harm him.

The moment that he swallowed the pill, he suddenly felt a warm current spreading all over his body. Then in the next moment, his body temperature began rising sharply.

Jaden was not expecting something like this to happen, still, he tried to remain calm, despite how high the temperatures had already reached. A few more seconds later, he began sweating.

The good thing was that despite the temperatures rising, after reaching a certain level, they no longer rose. Instead, a constant temperature was maintained, though it was very high.

Jaden immediately rushed to the bathroom, and took off his clothes. After all, in just a few seconds, his clothes were already soaked in sweat.

He did not pour water on himself to cool himself down, as he did not know if there was going to be anything that would go wrong if he did that. So, despite staying within the bathroom, he did not do anything else.

Then, Jaden began feeling his muscles squirming after about 2 minutes. Immediately after that, he felt a burst of energy within his body, and he felt completely invigorated.

At this moment, Jaden felt like his body was going to burst from the energy within his body. He felt that he was getting stronger, but the energy was getting even more violent within his body.

And in the next moment, he suddenly began feeling intense pain all over his body. It was as if the energy within his body was about to burst out of his body.

Trying as much as possible to endure the pain, Jaden made sure not to make any sound. He had to hold on. He understood that if he managed to go through this, he would get stronger than before.

So, despite all the pain that he was undergoing, he made sure to hold on. Of course, the pain was extreme, almost making him shout.

About 5 minutes later, the pain finally began receding. Then, Jaden felt that the energy that was running rampant within his body was suddenly calming down as well.

But there was one thing that did not change, that was the feeling of his body getting stronger. The feeling just kept on increasing, indicating that his body was getting stronger.

For a moment, Jaden could not help but get immersed in the feeling of getting stronger. He felt like he could easily blast a hole in the wall. But Jaden understood that this was just an illusion due to suddenly getting stronger.

Finally, his temperatures began reducing, and returned to the normal level after about 10 more minutes.

Jaden took a deep breath after the entire process had ended. He had not expected that it was going to take this long. Nevertheless, when he thought about it, getting stronger was definitely not something simple.

Even those that were working out would definitely take quite a lot of time to be able to get stronger, but for him, he had gotten stronger in just less than 30 minutes, and he was three times stronger than before.

Just by clenching his fist, he could feel the strength that he was possessing. It was just that he could not tell how strong he was exactly, unless he tried it out. The only problem was that there was nothing that he could use to try out his current strength.

After making sure that everything had really ended, Jaden took a shower. Then, as he was leaving the bathroom, it happened to see his reflection on the mirror.

For a moment, he stopped as he looked at the reflection with surprise in his eyes. It was clear that he had transformed after taking the pill. It seemed that it was not only internally by the improvement in his strength, but it was also applied to his physical appearance.

His appearance had improved. From the ordinary appearance that he possessed before, his appearance had gone above average. Of course, that did not imply that he possessed outstanding looks, instead, he was just a little good-looking.

But of course, this was not something simple. And Jaden could not help but be a little worried that somebody would notice. This sudden change in his appearance was definitely not something that could be ignored, as long as a person paid attention to his appearance.

[The host doesn't have to worry that much about the changes in his appearance. Despite the host having an improvement in his appearance, it is not that much noticeable, unless a person pays attention to the host's face.]

Despite being consoled by the system, Jaden hoped that nobody would be paying much attention to his appearance. Otherwise, he would definitely be in trouble, as he did not know how to explain.

Plastic surgery? That was impossible. How was it possible for him to undergo plastic surgery and recover in just a few hours? It was definitely impossible for him to use that excuse.

But when Jaden thought much about it, currently, he was within the Johnsons residence. And the only person that he had interacted the most with was none other than Scarlet. But he did not believe that she was paying much attention to his appearance.

In any case, he was just ordinary, and so, it was almost impossible for him to be able to attract attention due to his appearance. Instead, people would most likely focus on his abilities instead.

Shaking his head, Jaden decided not to think much about it. At the end of it all, it was not as if he could change anything. He had already transformed, and other than getting stronger, he had gotten a little handsome.

He decided to put his mind on training. He had to get more familiar with his current strength. He had to learn how to control the current strength that he possessed, or he might end up overdoing something.

With that thought, Jaden put on his clothes, before setting out, going to the basement gym present within the main mansion. Ever since he began training Scarlet, he was allowed to freely use the gym.
