The light was too bright.But it wasn't sunlight. It was more like a liquid flash, seeping under the skin, burning quietly, illuminating from within.
He felt his hand first... or something like a hand.Not the one he used for writing or lifting weights. This hand wasn't familiar, yet it moved as if it knew the way.
Then came the voice.
[Physical calibration: 98%... 99%... Complete.][Welcome, user: Simon. System linked.]["Physical Stimulation" system activated.]
He opened his eyes.
The ceiling was strange. Wooden, but smooth. It looked like the ceiling of a luxury gym—or a high-end spa.
He sat up. His body felt light, as if made of tightened air. His muscles responded instantly. His breath was deep, calm... almost inhuman.
"Where am I?"
No one answered.But he felt the answer crawling through his veins. An internal sensation… like something inside him was smiling in silence.
[Your first task is ready.]
[Warning: Failure to complete the task will result in reinitialization.]
"Task?" he whispered.His voice sounded odd… deeper, more mature than it used to be.
Then the door opened.
A woman walked in.
Her hair was tied up hastily. She wore light sportswear. Her steps were quiet, but full of the confidence of someone used to being the center of attention.
She looked at him without asking who he was.
—"You're the new trainer? Good... My back's killing me. Please don't be as lazy as the last one."
She walked over to the mat and lay down without waiting.
He was still sitting there—half dazed, half captivated.
"What's happening?" he thought.
Then came the answer… not from his own mind.But from that inner voice.
[Initiate physical stimulation.][Objective: Release lower back muscle tension.Target area: Lower back, above the pelvis.]
[Touch permitted. Escalation optional.]
His hand moved—almost like it wasn't his.It moved with confidence... with strange weight.
And for the first time in his life…He wasn't afraid to touch a woman.
He was certain that if he did—He would never be the same again.
