"1 free draw, I hope I would get a strong character," Tom said eagerly.
"System, use 1 free draw," Tom excitedly exclaimed.
"Ding!"
"Using 1 free draw."
Suddenly, Tom saw a roulette with various names on it, some of which were familiar to him, like Uchiha Madara and Roronoa Zoro.
The roulette started spinning, and after a few minutes, it came to a stop on a name...
"Ding!"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the abilities of Jack Hanma from the Baki world."
Tom felt a sudden headache and saw a vivid scene in his mind of a tall man with blonde hair demonstrating various fighting techniques.
After the headache subsided, Tom relaxed his body and said, "Jack Hanma, not bad for the early stages of Marvel where the villains are only street level."
Excited about his newfound abilities, Tom decided to put them to the test at the gym. He quickly changed his attire and headed to the nearest gym.
After a few minutes of walking, Tom arrived at the gym. To his surprise, there were only a few people inside.
Tom started with a little warm-up before positioning himself in front of a punching bag. He thought to himself, "As far as I know, Jack Hanma possesses exceptional physical strength, speed, and fighting skills."
With determination, Tom threw a powerful punch at the punching bag, creating a loud boom that echoed throughout the gym.
The people in the gym turned to look at him in shock.
"Ding!"

The force of Tom's punch nearly broke the punching bag, leaving a clear fist mark on it.
Tom couldn't believe his own strength. He realized that his physique had become significantly stronger because of Jack Hanma's abilities. Even though the previous owner of his body regularly went to the gym, he was never this strong. The only logical explanation was the system that granted him these new powers.
Curious about the changes in his body, Tom turned to the system and asked, "System, can you explain why my body feels stronger?"
"Ding!"
"The host is correct. We made slight adjustments to your body to adapt and complement Jack Hanma's abilities and fighting skills."
"Ah, I see. That's how it is," Tom replied, satisfied with the explanation.
After spending an hour trying out different exercises and techniques, Tom decided to call it a day. He gathered his belongings and prepared to leave the gym.
As he walked towards the exit, he couldn't help but feel a sense of confidence and excitement about his newfound strength. However, his peaceful walk home was interrupted by a group of men who approached him, asking for money to buy cigarettes.
Tom remained silent, refusing to give them any attention.
"Hey, boy! Did you not hear me? I said we need money for cigarettes," one of the men said, growing impatient.
"Hey, bro, I think he's mocking you. Want me to take it by force?" another man suggested, slowly advancing towards Tom.
Without hesitation, Tom swiftly struck the man, sending him flying back towards his friends.
"Ding!"

Realizing they had underestimated Tom's strength, the group of thugs decided to retaliate. They charged at him, but Tom stood calmly, waiting for their attacks.
As the first thug approached, Tom effortlessly punched him, sending him flying.
The other two thugs swung their bats at Tom, but he casually blocked their attacks with his arm, as if it were nothing. He retaliated with powerful punches, knocking them down as well.
The leader of the thugs, witnessing the defeat of his companions, cautiously approached Tom, brandishing a knife. He taunted Tom, challenging his strength.
"Do you think you're strong? Try reaching me," the leader sneered.
Tom smirked and replied, "Do you think I would be scared of your toy?"
In an instant, Tom dashed towards the leader, grabbing his head and forcefully slamming it into the ground.
After defeating the leader, Tom stood up, towering over the defeated thugs. He calmly warned them, "Don't pick the wrong person next time."
With a sense of satisfaction, Tom walked away from the scene, leaving the leader of the thugs in awe, muttering to himself, "You monster."
Tom's newfound abilities from Jack Hanma had not only transformed his physical strength but also given him the confidence to stand up against those who tried to intimidate him.
Feeling a mix of excitement and curiosity, Tom decided to further explore his newfound abilities.
He knew that with Jack Hanma's strength, he had the potential to face even greater challenges. As he walked home from the gym, Tom couldn't help but think about the possibilities that lay ahead.
The next day, Tom woke up with a renewed sense of determination.
He knew that if he wanted to fully harness the power of Jack Hanma, he needed to push himself to the limit. He decided to embark on a rigorous training regimen to enhance his physical abilities.
Every morning, Tom would wake up early and head to the gym. He would spend hours lifting weights, performing intense cardio workouts, and practicing various martial arts techniques.
With each passing day, he could feel his strength and stamina increasing. The people at the gym began to take notice of his dedication and progress.
Tom's hard work and dedication paid off. Not only did he become stronger physically, but he also developed a sharper focus and a better understanding of his body's capabilities.
He learned to channel Jack Hanma's power effectively, delivering devastating punches and kicks with precision and speed.
