There are three expected major themes to this work:
1) Protagonist reforms his body so that he's not out of shape or constantly in pain.
2) Reforming his giant physical mess of an environment into a functional heroic manufacturing setup.
3) His ongoing unpleasant mental experiences.... more>>

In other words, it's a grind.

Like any good story, there is plenty of room for progression.
He starts out with a bunch of psychological issues and a good few physical ones. Additionally, he has the means to live modestly but still to spend his hours in pursuit of the plot.
Unlike most good stories, ... well, a lot of things. But importantly, there is NO GUARANTEE of success. If he is unsuccessful, this project will be dropped. There is no room for fantastical plot armor in this story; His final saga could very well end in demoralized failure.

The "Game Elements" tag is for the personal status sheet, which is a fairly arbitrary documentation of his performance at various sets of exercises, and other discernible attributes.

The story uses a first person narrative.

The Gore / Sexual Content / Etc tags are there because the contents might discuss such things. Definitely not the focus of the story. MC usually doesn't use "Strong Language", at least at the beginning. But he might develop into such a character.

2121 was basically the early 2020’s, but with some brief, extreme changes.
Technology as well had improved since what people described in 2021 in my History class, but while spam was solved, it didn't stop hackers, especially the famously notorious trio known as PLAGUE.
It didn’t stop a hacker like me either. But unlike PLAGUE, I was a nobody. I wasn’t noticed. Hell, I was still a schoolboy finishing my last year of high school!
Just like technology, my status as a nobody didn’t stop me from doing what I was about to do. <<less

I uncapped the bottle of the chilled water to drink directly from it, only to someone clear their throat to notify me of their presence. Out of reflex, I turned rapidly and pour out the content of the bottle I was holding, almost emptying it at the intruder.

The intruder —a male intruder to be specific —hissed in reaction to the cold effect of the chilled water, I was almost befuddled, because my brain was tricked by the exquisite beauty and handsomeness of this person, I mentally smacked my brain to think normally.

I then tried screaming, but the person was quick to react, covering my mouth with the big palm of his hand, I was almost drooling, because of the close proximity and the cologne he was wearing was quite enticing, my next reaction was to kick him in the groin, which I succeeded to the point.

The man toppled-over with a Yelp because of the pain he was in from my kick, I took an escape, practically flying my way up the stairs to my room, then locking the door behind me ...
