If you wish to read a similar type of novel, I'm writing a fanfiction in the world of Marvel with a lot of elements from The Knight's Multiverse.

A quick sum-up here: Ben Parker was an ex special forces, now retired. His calm life, however, was greatly disturbed by a blue portal appearing in the sky of NYC, spewing out trigger happy grey skin aliens. His nephew, Peter, and his friends, Mary-Jane and Ned, were stuck close to the epicenter, and he had to go save them. After a desperate fight, he was knocked out, but saved by an 'unknown' party. During his 'coma', his previous life's memories awakened alongside three extraordinary perks granted to him by a overpowered entity. What will he do with them?

Demian's P.O.V.

The next two weeks went by faster than what the young man expected. Each day started with a workout session before breakfast, followed by a sparring/training session with Brynhild until lunch. After two hours of rest, Demian focused on learning Chinese until his mental strength was completely empty. Fortunately for him, not only did his strength increase help him grow his mental and physical endurance but it also helped him improve the speed with which his energy regenerated. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to end his day with an hour of guitar practice after dinner.

'God! I feel like I'm going nuts. Today, I'm doing nothing! It's either that or I'll become insane.' Feeling mentally worn out, Demian lazed around on his bed for the first time in a while, fiddling with his phone in the hope of entertaining himself. Unfortunately, 20 minutes of meaningless scrolling was all it took for him to grow bored. Letting out a frustrated sigh, he dropped the phone on his bed while mumbling. "Why is so hard to do something not productive...? It's like I'm turning into a freaking machine..." Shaking his head, he then left his bed and thought. 'Since I'm awake, I might as well see if anyone else is.' As his gaze fell on the alarm clock on his bedside table, he added. 'Although I doubt that since it's only 5 A.M."

While subconsciously scratching his cheek in thought, his gaze moved from the clock to the full-length mirror hung on his bedroom wall. With a smile on his face, he went to stand in front of it and started examining himself. His reflection displayed in his eyes the massive changes his body underwent during those last four weeks. Gone was the relatively short, feeble, and often brooding teenager. Instead, a relatively tall, muscular, and handsome young man replaced him, his face a mask of confidence. 'I should be slightly below 6ft tall... Or I guess 1m80. As for my muscle gains... Four weeks to reach a similar or even better level than I was in my previous life... Granted, I wasn't training too seriously then, but still!' He analyzed before his eyes turned to his face. 'I did notice it before, but the effects weren't as obvious... I've truly become more handsome!'
