Body Transformation

"Yesterday night, The Silver Gang leader has been caught…"

Ryuu currently eating his breakfast with Misato as they watched the news that occurred yesterday's event

"Hmph served them right. They should have got caught much earlier than this. They have been running around causing trouble everywhere" Misato said angrily after what she experienced yesterday.

Ryuu nodded at her words "True but it will be more chaotic now though"

"What do you mean?" Misato asked in confusion.

"Beside them, there are 3 more gangs in other places. From what I've heard from one of them, they seem to be in some kind of territory war or something. Since the Silver Gang is no more. I'm a bit worried about the rest of the gangs. Who knows what they would do after this"

Misato paled after hearing this.

"We don't have to worry about them as long as they stay away from us. If they still come to seek trouble with us, I'll beat them up just like I did to the previous gang" Ryuu said.

"Anyway, don't you have work today? It's 9:21 am already" Ryuu looked at the clock.

"Ah? My boss gonna be pissed if im late! There are still few projects to be presented today!" Misato said as she devoured her food in a hurry.

Misato worked as a fashion designer in a famous company along side with Ayaka, her best friend.

"You're always late though.." Ryuu said in a low voice.

Misato heard him mumbling something "Hm? Did you say something?"

"Nothing" Ryuu smiled and shook his head.

"Alright I might be late so you can eat lunch on your own today"

"Okay Misato-nee, be careful on the way and don't forget to give me a call or a message this time"

Misato gently smiled as she couldn't help but kiss his cheek "I won't don't worry, I'll be extra careful from now on" Then she went to wear her shoes and called a taxi near the door house "I'm going now!"

Ryuu smiled and waved his hand.

…

After he finished his breakfast and done cleaning the dishes, he called his assistant "System? You there?"

[I'm here] The little fairy child appeared in front of them.

"Alright then back to the topic, can you help me and send me to my inner world? But before that do you have a name to go by? Calling you system every time sounds weird since you have a body and all"

[Of course I'll help, and I don't have a name. Master could name me whatever he likes]

"I could name you? Hmmm…" Ryuu pondered about what he should call her.

"Ivy…" He subconsciously said in a low voice.

[…]

"Alright I'll name you ivy from now on. Is that fine?" Ryuu said smiling.

[Of course. From now on, Master may call me Ivy] Ivy said with a rare small smile but then disappeared after a second and went back to stoic face.

'Did she just smile?' Ryuu was a bit shocked but shook his head "Now let's go to my inner world"

[As you wish]

Ivy transformed into a ball of light and went inside his forehead as Ryuu closed his eyes in a moment after he felt the changes that just happened.

[We are here, Master]

Ryuu opened his eyes slowly as he looked around his inner world.

It was quite beautiful as there's grass everywhere. He could see a tall tree not far from his place with a small hut besides it. He could even see a small lake that looked shiny for some reason.

'Is this my inner world? It's amazing.. I feel so peaceful here' Ryuu felt nostalgic as he remembered the picnic he had with his parents in the past.

Ryuu explored his inner world 'There's nothing beside that tree, a small hut and a lake'

He went near the tree and found strange looking at the apple hanged up 'That's one strange apple, is that edible?' Ryuu wondered whether he should eat one or not.

Then he went to the hut and opened the wooden door.

Inside the hut was pretty much simple. All he could see is a chair, a table, and an opened cabinet which was empty. On the table there are 2 chests.

Ryuu went near to them and opened the one on the right. He found few books written in a strange language. He couldn't read them since this is his first time reading strange symbols 'This doesn't look like a language from earth' Ryuu thought.

Then he opened the other chest and found a single pill lying in the middle.

It looked quite pretty like a gem bead. It was full light blue with few strings surrounding it with white clouds that were rotating around the pill as if it was alive.

"What is this thing?" Ryuu said his thought out loud.

[That's the Celestial Tempering pill]

Ivy suddenly appeared right beside him while looking at the pill.

"Celestial Tempering pill? What can it do?"

[It can temper your body, soul and strengthen your foundation and talent. It could also unlock one of your innate talents as this pill was created for Celestial beings. It's also a very rare pill that could be produced once every 100 years due to its difficulty to create]

Ryuu widened his eyes "That amazing?"

[Yes. But because it's so powerful, it requires a strong body and soul so it could withstand the medicinal effect. Otherwise your body would explode]

Ryuu sucked a deep breath "Then can I consume this thing? I feel like I can if I persisted enough"

[At your current stats, I would say it's not impossible but you may suffer inner injuries in the process. Although you have a good foundation, not comparable to other celestials though, you could still consume it but most of the medicine would go to waste if you can't absorb 20% of it]

"Not comparable to other celestials?.." Ryuu was a bit sad to hear that "How strong do you think compared to me with them?"

[If I were to talk in stats, then all of them would have 25+ in every category and their mana would be 40+]

"That strong?.." Ryuu lowered his head.

[Don't worry master. Compared to others who had all kind of resources and teaching you are not really far behind them. Since you were all alone, I could say you did very well done to lay a good foundation]

Ryuu regained some light in his eyes "Thank you" Ryuu smiled

[You're welcome, besides master I suggest you take this pill. It will help you reshape you body to a better one]

"Didn't you say that I don't have a good foundation and I could damage myself?"

[I did, but there's a healing pond behind your hut, if you take the pill while inside the pond, it could be doable. Maybe you could absorb 50% of the pill]

"The pond?" Ryuu looked at the small lake which was behind "That's a healing pond?"

[Correct. It could heal your body automatically while you take a bath in the pond]

"I see then in that case I'll do it"

Ryuu went to the back of the hut and inspected the lake which was 3 meters wide and could fit 2-3 people to sit in.

Ryuu touched the lake with his finger 'It's warm'

[You have to remove the clothes while bathing in the lake so water could touch your skin]

Ryuu froze when she said that and looked at her who had an innocent and stoic face "All of it?.."

[Yes]

Ryuu went silent for a moment.

[Don't worry master, I've already seen everything since I live inside of you]

"That's not the problem here!" Ryuu shouted at how easygoing this fairy child was 'Her innocent face is killing me'

Ryuu shook his head and removed his clothes and left his boxers on. He got to man up if he can't handle a child like her. (A/N: Hold your pants lolicons, this isn't for you)

He then took a step and soaked himself in the lake which was unbelievably warm. He took a few seconds then proceeded to the middle of the lake.

He sat in a lotus position and took a deep breath in to adjust himself to take the pill.

[Master before you take the pill, let me impart you a Mana Breathing technique. It could aid you to maximize the medicine effect, but let me warn you because it will be painful so ready for it]

Ivy went near Ryuu and touched his forehead to impart the technique.

Ryuu's mind became filled with words as it was flying all around and heard a system notification [Acquired Mana Breathing Technique]

Ryuu did hesitate and try it on the spot. As the name implies, the more Ryuu breathe the air, the more he felt all of his body filled with strength as it was moving around very smoothly in his body. His Celestial Physique activated and guided all the mana he breathed automatically to move in line orderly without any misshaped happened to him. He felt that his veins, cells and meridians getting stronger and stronger.

After few cycle of breathing. Ryuu exhaled "This Technique is so amazing. I've never felt so comfortable like this before"

He once returned back to continue using his technique to adjust his body to the peak.

…

After 15 minutes of inhaling and exhaling "Alright, im ready to take the pill"

Ivy took the pill with her small hands and handed him.

Ryuu looked at this small pill "well here goes nothing"

He took a deep breath and then swallowed the pill.

It instantly dissolved the moment he swallowed it and the effect immediately took effect.

Ryuu suddenly felt so painful in his throat to the point he couldn't speak.

[Master! Hurry up and use Mana Breathing Technique!]

Ryuu acted quickly and used the technique to guide the medicine throughout his body.

As the Medicine traveling around, Ryuu felt his body getting shattered and renewed every second and all of his unclogged meridians have been opened and allowed the mana to travel inside his body safely and thoroughly. Though Ryuu never felt so much pain as if there 10,000 needle poking him from the inside. Fortunately the healing pond helped him repair his body automatically.

Ryuu began to sweat blood with a trace of black stuff coming out from his skin.

Ryuu ignored all of the pain and continued cycling his technique again and again; he never wanted to waste such a rare medicine like this!

After 2 hours of persisting. Ryuu finally extracted 100% of the pill. He slowly opened his eyes and stood up to see his body transformation.

He looked at himself getting a smoother and milkier skin; his muscles became harder as if there isn't any fat in them. His black and silky hair grow taller reaching to his waist, he also seem to have grown a little taller. Probably 181cm now.

He looked around and saw the pond was dyed in red and black 'Are all of this came out from me?' looking at all of this made ryuu disgusted a little. Even the smell was shittier than the dog shit!

Ryuu stood up and left the pond as he stretched his muscles and cracked his knuckles 'With my current strength I could probably smash a boulder with a fist. Even my eyesight became better! I can see the smallest details from afar, this is so amazing!'

He wore his clothes back "Ivy could you bring my status up?"

[Yes master]
