Jade: The Hybrid Mage
I’d chug a bottle of water, chew through my stale ration bar (still tasted like dirt), and go into three hours of strength and flexibility training.
Here, it measured everything.
Muscle strength. Control. Balance. Max capacity.
“Observation,” the system had said one afternoon. “You possess strength four times that of a standard human.”
I froze. “What does that mean?”
“No alert necessary. Adjustment complete.”
And that was it.
No sirens. No warnings. No suspicion.
It just recalibrated the weight resistance of every device in the room, like it knew better than to ask questions.
After three hours of tearing down every last thread of energy in my body, I’d rest for two.
