The world does not care about my mortgage. Normal people awaken their superpowers in their teenage years. I got mine at thirty two, along with a draft notice from the Department of Defense. I have 90 days before deployment to a dungeon, flabby muscles, and a class that everyone considers useless. Class: [Trainer] Available Familiars: 0 But the System made a critical mistake. It allowed me to assign a familiar to myself. Now every cell in my body is a pet that can be trained. Now I can issue [Special Commands] to my own biology. Fall asleep instantly. Ignore pain limits. Evolve faster than any young genius. I am my own trainer. And I will not stop until I turn this old body into the perfect weapon. What to expect: Older MC • Slow Burn • No Harem
