    Jake was a handsome 16-year-old teenager with a flair for fitness. He admired his reflection, shirtless and toned, in the bathroom mirror. He told himself that he needed to work harder to achieve a more muscular physique.

    With a goal in mind, Jake spent the whole day at the gym, pushing his limits with weights and exercises. He felt the burn in his muscles, a testament to his hard work. Exhausted, he decided it was enough for one day.

    After his workout, Jake showered and put on his pants. He looked at himself in the mirror again. Surprisingly, his body had become more muscular than he anticipated, which shocked him.

    As he stood admiring his new physique, his eyes began to glow. A voice, not his own, echoed in his head. It declared a curse that bonded him with the alter ego of the Incredible Hulk.

    Jake was stunned but intrigued. He allowed his anger to surge, triggering a transformation. Instead of becoming the Hulk, he morphed into a muscular green human. He looked at his new form in the mirror with a broad smile.

    Reveling in his new strength, Jake destroyed everything in his path. However, as night fell, his alter ego took over his body and mind, rendering him unconscious. When he woke up the next morning, he was back to his human self.

    Jake soon understood the pattern. During the day, he could transform into a muscular green human, while at night, he would lose control to the Hulk. This was his new reality, a curse he had unwittingly embraced.
