BeautyX
Harvey knew the Beauty treatment was already making its rounds however it took at least 12 hours to take effect. He wanted to get the treatment done but he wanted it to happen as fast as possible
See, Harvey has always looked too young for his actual age - a trait he unfortunately inherited from his mother’s side of the family - though it made them age gracefully, it didn’t help that he looked like he was 16 when his true age was already twice that at 32
So, he found a way to get the latest batch of pre-approved test vials for the Beauty treatment which they called BeautyX
BeautyX claimed to guarantee the same, if not better, results that the base product but the key selling point was it happened immediately. So, to test this out as one of their first human-trials, he brought it to the gym with him
So Harvey went inside one of the stalls so that he could hide the transformation
He looked at the syringe and hoped for the best - “I hope this works, saying goodbye to this old me” - as he drove it right into his arm
Almost immediately after injecting the serum into his arm, he passed out slumped against the wall. Luckily, he didn’t fall beside the toilet
From there, the same effects of the beauty treatment started to occur. His body temp went so high that his body started sweating profusely to the point that it started secreting the cocoon material. Soon enough, he was completely covered by it
Around 5 minutes have passed and the body inside already started changing - turning him into the perfect version of himself
The cocoon started stretching and expanding to match the new man that was about to come out - having nearly doubled in width and lengthened vertically showing he even got a bit taller
By 10 minutes, he jolted awake and started ripping the material - Harvey now having been reborn
He tore through the cocoon a lot easier than he initially expected but what he saw was making that happen shocked him — he looked at his arms and was taken aback by the size of it
He saw his arms were practically 3x the size they once were all with hard muscle. He could see every vein pop out to supply the massive bicep that was attached to him flexing with every movment. On top of that, it was covered in the perfect amount of arm hair - something he never had before
He tore through the entire thing faster and stood up to see himself in the mirror - he almost got vertigo trying to adjust to the new height
Luckily his shorts survived the change however his shirt laid torn together with the cocoon that he threw into the bin and covered with tissue to hide the material
As he stepped out and immediately bolted for the mirror
Now Harvey saw everything in full view — he no longer looked like a scrawny teenager, he now looked his age but the perfect man for his age
He noticed his body first - the arms he saw inside the stall now in better lighting - was massive. They were definitely 3x the size covered in veins. They looked absolutely thick supported by a tricep he only ever dreamed of to see - let alone feel
He then noticed the rest of his body - his chest was practically heaving out of him blocking the view below but he saw everything clearly in the mirror. His pecs looked perfect and huge - “damn BeautyX worked extremely well” he said.
He bounced them with ease, something he couldn’t do before. He felt the heft of them as they relaxed but also felt how thick and dense they were since they were practically looming 1-2 inches from him
Next was the abs and back - he now had a solid core and a back that would have perfectly eclipsed his past self - “this is going to take some getting used to” he said
He took a selfie to compare his after-self later and went ahead to the gym floor
He went straight for the barbell rack and started lifting to see how strong he’s become.
To his initial surprise, the barbell itself felt like it weighed nothing to him - even though he knew the average weight of those were 20kgs “Alright that’s definitely new” he said
He then started loading up the barbell with weights. He assumed with his size he’d be able to lift at least 6 plates with difficulty already so that’s what he placed
As he tried lifting, he was taken aback because what was supposed to weigh 140kg - near twice his old body weight - felt like 20kg - “this is fucking amazing” he boomed, not realizing his voice changed to match his new visage
Excited by what just happened, he lifted the same thing for nearly 20+ reps and ended the set by absentmindedly lifting the whole thing with one arm
“FUCK YEAH!” he exclaimed lifting the 140kgs way above his head with ease, all his muscles bulging out in response. He placed it down on the rack and thought what he could possibly lift next
By the time he was done he went back to the bathroom and took another selfie - this time to show off
“Here’s to the new Harvey - or should I say Harv?” he asked himself as he made his way to the showers to head home to test out what else his body could do
