Chap 2 part 3
Upon activation I found myself inside a small room, The walls were all white and the only thing noticeable was a fat guy standing in front of me. My first thought on seeing this guy was 'Damn he looks like he got hit hard by the ugly bus'. Stepping away from him to give the guy some space, the guy did the same exact thing. Suddenly what I was looking at clicked in my mind.. 'Aww shit is that really how I look?.....Fuck My Life'
It honestly was a bit disconcerting seeing myself in this manner. Don't get me wrong while at the time I wasn't exactly in the best shape or the greatest looking guy in the word I still thought I was at least decent before seeing myself like this. [Editors note; Boy before you used that mirror you looked like a fat orc mated with a hairless chimpanzee and you were the result!..Hey kids how much you wanna bet he misses this during final editing? Haha] That is why seeing myself like this made me start to rethink my opinion of my looks.
Hearing a slight pop behind me I turn to find Fortuna regarding me with a smile. I say to her “I am not really interested in changing my appearance..'Cough..' but while I am here I might as well check out the options” Smirking at me knowingly she says “I thought you might change your mind once your eyes started working again. Ok.. With this system you can change your appearance to anything you want, Want to look like someone famous on your world? This can do it. All you need to do is state what you want and the changes will take effect on your double. Once you are happy with the changes all you need to do is say 'accept changes'.”......... “Would you like me to demonstrate what I am talking about Richard?”
Happy for her help and without thinking I readily said “Thank you,Yes please” with a evil looking grin she stepped towards my double and said “Strip” resulting in me ..Well my alternate self instantly becoming as naked as the day I was born. Needless to say, my face turned bright red and my ears started to burn. Fortuna “Now lets see here, lets get rid of that baby fat, 'Set body fat percent to one'” And poof just like that my naked double didn't look like the Pillsbury Doughboy anymore. Fortuna Once more speaking starts making rapid fire changes “set eyes, ears, nose, mouth symmetry to 85%, Clear up complexion and remove all scars. Increase muscle mass by 40%, set hair length to top of shoulders. Increase hand size by 2%” While she is making these changes she in walking around my double with a big grin on her face. Finally finished she nods to herself and looks up at me and says “There are a lot of changes, But no one wouldn't recognize you if you accepted this form, But I do have one last question for you.......” Looking at her grinning at me I suddenly felt a cold shiver run up my spine.. I ask “umm what is that?” she says without batting a eyelash.. “well your penis is pretty small would you like it to be bigger?”
At this point I swear I thought I was going to have a heart attack, My heart was trying to beat itself out of my chest. My entire body turned a interesting shade of red. How do I know? THE DAMN Double was mirroring everything...So I COULD SEE IT! Turning around so I could try to hide my embarrassment. I mumble something like “Do whatever you think best” and quickly put my hands over my ears. I really do not remember exactly what I said, I was still trying to recover from my near heart attack. After a few moments I feel her hand on my shoulder, taking my hands off my ears and without turning I ask. “Is it done?” Fortuna “Hahaha, you know you are really cute when you are blushing?..Anywho, Yes I am done. Now turn around and make sure you are happy with the changes before accepting them. Wouldn't want you to regret this later because you didn't look now would you?”
Gathering my resolve I turn around and look at the results. Focusing on my new face I see that while there were changes It was still me. Looking at my chest I saw quite a few muscles I didn't think I would ever have the same thing had been added to my arms and thighs. Knowing I had to look and if I didn't and wound up with a micro dick I would probably kill myself, I finally checked myself out. No I won't tell you what I saw, Just be happy that I am very happy with what I saw! I swear the entire galaxy god's included are all grade A perverts. Quickly accepting the changes and making them permanent, I turned to fortuna and said “Thank you for your assistance” Covering her mouth she says “My pleasure Richard any time” ….Yea she was laughing at me...I bet you are too...Just you wait... Your turn is coming.
I coughed a couple times trying to regain a bit of my dignity I ask “Now that THAT part is done whats next?” Fortuna “Come over here to this interface screen and pick out what mods you want” Walking over to where she was standing I see a new screen pop up. The screen shows a impressive number of modifications. I ask “Just how many mods are on this list?” fortuna “currently there is a bit over two million modifications you could choose from” 'Well damn I think' looking at her I say “ummm.. Could you suggest a set for me? I know nothing about these mods and I think it would probably take a lifetime to go through them all.” she give me a grin that would put any cat to shame after eating a mouse and reply's “I figured you would need my help, Normally by the time people reach level 10 they have had plenty of time to find out what they want to get. Every time a new planet is added though there is always mass confusion and mistakes that happen. The system is good after it takes effect but the transition phase tends to be a bit messy. Now give me a little time and ill set you up properly”. In a relatively short time fortune announces that she is done and for me to check out what she had chosen.

Noticing the fact that the cost was well over 100 i said "Uh Fortuna, i don't have enough points to buy all these. I only have 100." Fortuna "The 100 your talking about was just your bonus for being the first from earth here. Your starter points based multiple factors is 63. Adding them together you have just enough for these mods"
Looking back over the list I can't help but be impressed and think 'HELL YEA!" over fortuna's choices. Action Boy would give me ten extra stat points up to level ten. Then two points per level up to level twenty, It really was a cheat ability. Then again it did cost 100 points. But still....If anyone were to find out I would probably never hear the end of it. [Dan: Well well... That explains quite a bit. Damn cheater] Looking through the other mods I keep shaking my head and thinking 'Hot damn with these skills I will be a one man demolition squad'. [Dan: HAHAHA you might be now but you found out the hard way didn't ya] Accepting the mods fortuna picked out for me I hit yes on the final “are you sure” and found myself and fortuna back at the mine entrance.
