As soon as Gary saw those messages appear, he started to feel a change in his body. It began with his heart beat. Someone seemed to have put the intensity all the way to the maximum setting. When he checked his status in the system he saw that the BPM was constantly rising, already having surpassed 200 BPM with no signs of stopping.
It felt like his organ was trying its best to either burst through his chest or jump out of his mouth. The increased oxygen flow inside his body led to Gary experiencing everything more vividly, from his feet all the way to the top of his head. The high schooler immediately pulled on the chains from the pain, yet they did their job perfectly, preventing him from touching his head.
Unfortunately for Gary though, the strange sensations didn't stop there. The next thing that he noticed was that his skin started to feel uncomfortable. He felt constricted, as if he had put on a shirt that was a few sizes too small. He wasn't sure if he was hallucinating or not, but he believed that he saw it start to fall off of him.
“ARGHHH!” Gary loudly screamed out in pain, his throat on the verge of ripping, but he needed to do something to release this pressure that was piling up. The veins on his arms and neck became visible. They had grown in size looking like faint tubes about to burst due to the pressure they were under. His muscles started to grow, and more skin started to fall off from his body, being replaced by dark black fur.
'Someone, please make it stop! This pain, I can't take it anymore!!!' Gary begged internally as he screamed out all his frustrations, aware that nobody was out there to hear or help him. It was getting too much for him and he was sure that he was losing his mind.
'I have to stay focused! I have to stay conscious!' The high schooler thought to himself, concentrating on the ones he tried to protect, his friends and family. Gary feared that something very bad would happen if his transformation overwhelmed him and he wasn't sure that he would be able to live with himself if he hurt any of them.
Just when he believed himself able to tolerate that amount of pain, his very bones started stretching. It was a hundred times worse than any growth spurt and it affected all of them at once. At some point they collectively cracked, before they all began to regenerate on the spot, growing longer and more durable.
Finally, his face was itching all over as if a million tiny invisible bugs were crawling on it. His mouth, jaw and nose seemed to shift around, his eyesight and vision was changing. Gary didn't even register that his ears had also elongated as his consciousness was slowly fading.
The professional bodyguard was about to pull something out of his jacket... yet he never got the chance. The mythological creature had swiped once with his mighty arms. Before any of the teenagers could blink, the head of the man who had wanted to save them separated from his shoulders, flying past them into the park.
The next second the body fell to the ground, releasing a torrent of blood.
All five of them knew that their lives were in danger… their chances to survive this were slim to none.
