Fate Online: Shadow

"But I only have above average physical capabilities right now, so it’s almost impossible for the [Game System] to actually rate my character with perfect stats" Michael mumbled as he really can’t wrap his head around on what’s happening.

"Screw this, I should just be grateful that I have a huge advantage on almost everybody" Michael said as he got up from his chair and then he went to the counter and paid his bills from using the computer.

Michael walked out of the internet cafe as the rays of the sun shone upon him.

"I think I should go visit the gym and get my boy back in shape" Michael said as he walked back home and went to get some change of clothes before putting on his gym clothes.

Outside his cheap apartment building.

Michael was stretching his body, before he started to jog as he headed towards the nearby gym.

Michael arrived at the gym, and started working out, from 4 sets of 8 reps Barbell Bench Press, 4 sets of 10 reps of Lat-pulldowns, 4 sets of 10 reps of Seated Dumbbell Press, 4 sets of 10 reps of Leg Extensions, 3 sets of 10 reps of Barbell Bicep Curls, and 3 sets of 15 reps of Triceps Rope Pushdowns.

"Ahh!" Michael let go of the equipment, as his whole body is covered in sweat.

Micheal took a minute to cool down before sitting down on a nearby bench, wondering about something.

"Weird, truly weird, I still remember that my body isn’t this strong, and I just noticed now, why the heck is my body so lean and ripped!? It wasn’t like this a few days ago. Damn, just what the heck is truly happening, right now!? It’s like, It’s like...my body from my future self is..is regressing towards my past self! Am I in some kind of an experiment or something!?" Michael mumbled to himself in shock and disbelief as he finally noticed the weird changes on his body.

"Dammit, I have so many questions, but there’s no answers at all!" Michael seriously felt frustrated, he knows that he should at least be happy at the current situation, but he just can’t accept it right away, even when he tried to distract himself away through Fate Online and thinking about Amanda, but he still can’t help but think about his weird situation, especially with weird events that always happens around him, like right now.

"Let go of me, you creep!"

Suddenly, a voice of a woman sounded throughout the gym, which made the gym goers look over towards where the voice is coming from.

Michael also looked over, and like he was suddenly struck by lightning, he froze!

"Amanda?" Michael mumbled, seeing the familiar woman in the distance, currently being harass by two guys.

"Heh! This dick is going at it again, harassing women"

"Tsk! We can’t really blame him. After all, he’s uncle is a member of the infamous Black Skull Gang"

"Hmmp! He’s lucky he has a "huge tree" he could lean on or I would have beaten him multiple times by now, from how many girls had suffered from him"

"Shut it, or someone might hear you, we don’t want any trouble with them"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah! Tsk!"

Michael immediately walked over towards them, where he could certainly hear and see that the situation is getting worse by the second.

"Let go of me, you bastard!"

"Kevin! Let go of Amanda! Don’t think that I’m afraid of you just because you have an uncle in Black Skull Gang! Do you want to start a war between us!?" the woman accompanying Amanda, yelled angrily while pointing at the man gripping one of Amanda’s arms.

"War? As if you represent the entire War Angel! Hah!" the man named Kevin laughed maniacally, while licking his lips as he stared greedily and lustfully at Amanda’s rocking hot body!

Michael walked behind Kevin, and he didn’t even say anything and pulled his shoulder towards him.

"What the f*ck!?" Kevin cursed as he was forced to let go of Amanda and turned towards the person who ruined his fun.

And Amanda’s companion immediately pulled her away and watched from a distance, as she knows that a fight would certainly occur with how hotheaded and arrogant Kevin is.

"Who the f*ck are you buddy!? Do you kn- Offt!" Kevin didn’t even managed to finish what he was about to say when was suddenly slammed, head first at the cold hard floor.

*BAM!*

"You’re loud, annoying and your breath stinks!" Michael coldly said while fixing his sleeveless top.

"You! You’re in deep trouble! Do you know who he is!?" Kevin’s companion quivered in fear while shakily pointing at Michael.

"I don’t know and I don’t care, now go to sleep!" Michael coldly said, as he bolted towards him and punched his face! Sending the guy flying for three meters!

*Thud!*

The guy landed hard on the ground, with a broken bloody nose, along with three missing front tooth.

Suddenly, Michael’s eyes blink rapidly as he suddenly snapped out of his trance and saw the scene in front of him.

"Oh shit! Damn! That looks so bad, I hope they’re still alive though" Michael cursed angrily, and blamed it on his head and memories! After all, he suddenly felt that his reasoning suddenly vanished earlier when he saw Amanda getting hurt, and some bat shit memories resurfaced because of it, that caused him to lost his reasoning for quite a while.

And then, there was silence in the entire gym, as they looked at Michael in fear and astonishment even Amanda and her friend is looking at him, like he was some kind of a monster!

"Holy shit! Did you guys see that!? Th-they didn’t even last for two seconds before getting taken out!" suddenly, someone broke the awkward silence and shouted crazily in excitement and shock!

"Oh shit! This guy is in deep trouble! Doesn’t he know that Kevin is a member of Black Skull!? And he just knocked him out cold!"

"Oh~ he is man! But say, that was so freaking cool, right!? I had never seen someone get sent flying like that from just being punched in the face!"

"That was so lit bruh! Uhmm! That’s mah dude right there!"

"Shut up! I think they’re waking up, we don’t want them hearing us now"

"Arggh" Kevin finally started regaining his consciousness.

Amanda immediately came over towards Michael, and said in a panic, "Quick! Run, before they see you!"

"Don’t worry, nothing will happen to me" Michael her the most reassuring smile.

"I..ah..I..hmmp!" Amanda angrily stormed out when she suddenly stuttered, with her friend immediately chasing behind her, while sending a flying kiss and wink towards him.

"Ciao!"

"W-what happened?" Michael scratched the back of his head and felt utterly confused right now, that he seems to have forgotten that the two assholes behind him are slowly waking up.

"Shit! This is no time to be thinking about things!" Michael cursed, then he turned around and gave both of them another good beating, before running off of the gym as he chased after Amanda.

*Bam!* Bam!*

And the people working out had dumbfounded looks on their faces, as they stared at the two guys foaming on their mouths on the floor, unconscious.

"What the heck just freaking happened?"
