The digital readout on the weight machine ticked upward: 220, 230, 240. I gritted my teeth, forcing the bar up one more time before it clattered back into the rack.
"Fucking hell," I muttered, checking the time on my phone: 3:17 AM.
The house was silent, everyone long asleep. I had been down here for almost three hours, driving my body past its limits. My muscles screamed in protest as I moved to the punching bag.
I imagined Reyna Cabana's face on the bag as I unleashed a series of jabs and crosses. La Sirena. A-Rank potential with an S-Rank pedigree. The kind of natural talent that made someone like me look like a joke.
"System stats," I whispered to Nel, not wanting to risk waking anyone.
The floating interface appeared before me, hovering like a ghost in the dim light of the gym.
