I'm in a novel

Chapter 3

        After a sleepless night, Daniel woke up at 7 sharp and decided to take a jog outside so he could get used to his new place besides losing a few calories. He later regrets his decision as he realized that this body never did any exercise and he almost injured himself due to his ignorance toward the new body. As far as he knows, this body did not have any health issue except for being overweight. Therefore, he decided to walk around instead of running and actually enjoying it when he can comfortably appreciating the scenery around him as he walks.

There is also an old woman crossing the road with a bunch of plastic groceries that threatening to fall from her tight grip. Without hesitation, Daniel hurriedly approaches her and tried to help which surprised the old woman.

"Aigoo, there is no need to help. This old lady doesn't want to be a bother"

"It's not a bother at all ma'am, I have plenty of time anyway" Daniel insisted and continue to help her with a sincere smile on his face.

They both stop in front of a small restaurant not far from there and the old lady smile "We have arrived. Thank you for the help young man" she smiles and took the grocery inside the restaurant.

Daniel thought his business here was done and was about to walk away but the woman suddenly reappeared again and call out to him.

"What is your name, young man? I would be really happy to repay your kindness by serving one of the food from this small place of mine"

As someone who is used to this kind of treatment, Daniel politely rejects her offer and introduce himself as Daniel and tell her he lives nearby.

"Then you can come again some other time, I will make sure to cook the most delicious dish for you"

After exchanging a few words with her, Daniel finally left with a content heart. He continues his walk until he reached a park. At the park, he saw a man in mid-thirty are jogging toward his way and Daniel can't help but stared at the figure of that man. Apparently, that man was wearing a sleeveless shirt revealing his tanned well build bicep with a pair of shorts that revealed a toned leg. Daniel can't help but heave a sigh in admiration toward the stranger while thinking he still got a long way to obtain such body.

The stranger notices his presence and gives him a friendly smile which Daniel awkwardly return the smile and nodded his head politely. After a long walk, Daniel stops at the nearest bus stop and wait for the bus arrival patiently while scrolling through his mobile phone. He found out that his real home is about 30 minutes from here and decided to pay a visit.

Though he is disappointed to see that upon arriving at his real house, he sees nothing but a busy road, not even a building, it's like his house doesn't even exist in this world.

Well, what do I expect? I'm inside a novel anyway.

Daniel later returns home with a complicated feeling. He still has a hard time accepting his fate, however, he is not someone who is easily swayed by emotion. After realizing that he is drenched with sweat, he quickly takes a shower and spends half an hour staring at the mirror after that.

Now that he looks at his face, it's quite similar to his previous body except with a lot of fat. Thinking that it was quite a good news, he lightens up.

"Now let solve this problem" He pinched his flabby stomach and decided to hire a trainer.

Finding a trainer online is much easier than he expected, with a simple click he found a lot of results. Some of them are a scammer which he easily recognized. As someone who has lived for almost 30 years, he is actually quite good at detecting a scammer especially when he had work in the bank industry for years.
