Chapter 13: Get Rich Quick
Once Julia disappears into her room, Adam heads back to his and drops down on his bed and stares at his ceiling as he takes it all in.
As he reminisces over everything that happened today, he can fathom how any of this is real. It's a fairy tale, a dream, something that shouldn't be real, but here he is, living it, feeling more alive than ever.
In fact, it is his past life that feels more like a dream than the one he is experiencing now.
Adam brings his hand in front of his face and stares at it. He recalls how Brandon tried to assert his dominance over him, but he retaliated and almost broke his arm.
'How strong am I really?' Adam questions. Sure, this new body feels amazing, but he doesn't know just how strong it really is.
'Let's test it out...' Adam thinks, and rolls off the bed, landing on the floor with his hands and legs making contact with the ground first. He easily breaks his fall with his strength.
Now, in a push-up position, he begins doing push-ups. Ten push-ups, easy. Twenty, he doesn't even break a sweat. Thirty, no problem. Fifty, still doesn't feel any fatigue. Hundred, still nothing.
Adam realizes it's useless to continue this because now it has become more of a test of his muscles' endurance than strength.
But this also allowed him to learn that not only is he strong, but his endurance is also off the charts.
With a strong push with his hands, he immediately swings up back to his feet and doesn't feel anything. It's as if he didn't even do a single push-up.
"Let's see what else is going on in the world currently," Adam murmurs and walks up to his computer and turns it on.
