3 Harry's brothers

in a bathtub filled with steaming water, a man sat with his eyes closed. When he opened his eyes, they shone with a green color that looked like emeralds, and his jet-black hair contrasted sharply with his eyes, which held great clarity.

His body did not burn at all from the temperature of the water, and it seemed as if the hot water even grew colder after coming into contact with him. The man's skin looked like it was covered in ice-like material, and every breath he exhaled formed mist in the air.

...

Harry noticed as he practiced 'Jade Skin Breathing' that the longer he practiced it, the colder his body temperature became, and he even nearly fainted at one point. To counteract this, he tried using hot water and it worked perfectly, but as his cultivation grew, so did the cold. So he had to use warmer water, which resulted in the water temperature being so high that it steamed.

However, Harry was in a dilemma because after practicing for more than five hours and reaching a certain point, it seemed like his body had reached a saturation point with the current energy levels of his surroundings because his cultivation did not even rise above 0.01%.

To double check, Harry called up his status. "Status."

『 Name: Harry

Cultivation stage: human (Exalted Human rank 1, progress: 49.99%)

Cultivation method: none

Skills: none

Ability: ???(dormant)

Title: none

Coins: 0』

Damn, I do not think it will increase one bit even if I train for 10 hours. Well, at least my body has reached the fitness level of an Olympic athlete, so I should not have much trouble at the start of the apocalypse. And I should get out of the washroom because the others should be on their way back." mused Harry as he began to dry himself off. When he stood up, his entire body looked flawless and compactly muscular, standing at 5'10".

…

Three guys could be seen walking on the sidewalk with hands in their pockets.

They all stopped in front of a building with moderate height and after a brief moment went inside, they were all busy talking about something but they seemed to be navigating through the building as if they've visited this place many times and could walk with their eyes closed if they wanted, as they were talking, they stopped in front of a room and one of them pulled out a key to open the door.

…

Harry's awareness and keen senses which were honed through the life and death situations during his time in the metamorphosis picked up something outside the door of his apartment. As Harry felt this, he said with a smirk on his face, "they are finally here."

As the door opened three individuals walked in, seeing them Harry's eyes almost teared but managed to control it in the last moment, all of them had at least one striking feature, with one having a muscular build, with a height of 6'3" and tanned skin which being looked would make one feel as if it came naturally.

The other two also had very striking features such as orange hair and amber-colored eyes and the other one with blonde hair and azure eyes. Both of them had average height around 5'8" and 5'7" respectively.

But after seeing Harry already awake and ready all of them had a shocked expression and the orange-haired guy even going to the extent of saying, "miracle, looks like the sun has risen in the west."

Hearing this Harry had an unusual expression as he replied, "it's not like I never wake up early, damn guys."

"Well not on Sundays, you never wake early on Sundays" replied the blue-haired guy.

These three were Ash, Hiro, and Daniel respectively. Ash was the big muscular guy, Hiro had orange hair and Daniel had blonde hair.

Harry seeing all this remembered his habit of sleeping a lot, which had been in the last cycle due to the always tense situation during the metamorphosis, and recalling this gave Harry another boost of determination.

"Well jokes aside, did you bring me any breakfast?" asked Harry as he had become hungry due to training.

But to his dismay, all of them were shaking their head sideways.

"Well then, let's go eat something then, I am starving" gesturing others to follow him.

Others seeing this shrugged as they followed him while Daniel locked the door and then proceeded to follow them.

…

All of them were orphans who grew up in the same orphanage so they shared a brotherly bond which led them to go to the same school and then the same university. after getting older than 18 all of them moved out to the same apartment, they all worked part-time to pay the rent, while still going to university.

…

In a coffee store, 4 men were sitting and having breakfast, but three of them had an unusual expression on their faces when they looked at the other person sitting next to them.

That was because the fourth person was eating like it was his last day, namely Harry.

But what could he do as his body needed more food because of him having his fitness raised which resulted in his body having higher metabolism and need for more nutrients because of the sudden rise.

Seeing this Ash spoke, "bro you are eating as much as me and I need this because of my big body, you might get fat" while saying this Ash lifted Harry's shirt which resulted in him being exposed to Harry's compact muscles.

Surprised Ash said, "did you start doing gym or something without telling us, guys check out his abs, they look so good."

Hearing this Hiro and Daniel also saw his muscles which resulted in them being shocked as well.

"I've been working out a lot these might be because of that my muscles look good…. Oh, it seems we are late for today's extra class, might wanna hurry" exclaimed Harry trying to defuse the situation and distract them.

Well, his efforts weren't in vain as after hearing this, all three of them remembered that today they had an extra class.

Seeing this Harry had a look of relief and said while paying the café for the breakfast, "so then let's hurry unless you guys wanna miss it."

Hearing him they all started to hurry as if they weren't even surprised a moment before.

There upon, they all headed towards their university.
