"Are all the preparations ready?"
"Yes"
Motionless, I keep looking at the creation of which I spent the last half of my life, a cylindrical machine containing a phosphorescent red liquid that fills the room with a red light.
"Are you sure you want to do it?"
"Yes"
I turn around, at my side there is Anna, an assistant and without a doubt my second greatest invention.
I created her about three hundred thousand years ago and she has remained with me until now,she has about my same intelligience and is able to rival magicians on the third level, even if this is only an assumption since the only wizard at that level it's me and the second strongest at this time on this planet is only on the first level, not that it's surprising considering that the current creator of the system to cultivate magic is me, and I have not decided to pass down methods to cultivate on the second or third level.
I was born about 600,000 years ago, it was a period when men joined in tribes and were forced to hide from the beasts and monsters that roamed around the world, obviously everything changed when at 13 I created the system to cultivate, at 18 I had already conquered the whole continent and at 20 the entire planet, it's nice to remember my youthful achievements, even today the legends of how the first emperor opened the gates of magic and killed all the monsters, freeing humans from their oppression, are passed down.
"Ah..."
"Something wrong?"
"nothing ... I was just thinking about something ... prepare that we start"
"of course"
Anna approaches the control panel and starts the machine, lightning begins to fill the liquid and gradually they become stronger and faster, the machine is turned on and it is now reloading the liquid to get it for when I will have to submerge, I begin taking off my clothes and wait ... it's always fascinating to see how this machine works, it's amazing to see how such a beautiful object can be so dangerous, 7,654,839 experiments on humans and not even a survivor, these are the results of all the experiments with this machine.
Obviously, I had to expect that converting the human race into something better would certainly not have been easy.

A longer life ... many people on this planet would laugh to me hearing me say these words, even the strongest wizards are able to live to 200/300 years, while I managed to exceed life expectancy by far.
"Status"
Race Human Age 637892 Strength 1578 Agility 1257 Mana 17493 Vitality 0.1
this is a little magic of my creation, it scrolls the mana all over the body and gives you the value of the various parameters.
"master, please enter"
while I was lost in my thoughts Anna finished the preparations, in the liquid, the lightning stopped flowing and all the energy was absorbed by the liquid, which now has become a golden color, completely illuminating the room.
I approach the cylinder and fly above it and enter into the small opening at the top and I begin to immerse myself.
Plunging into the liquid is a completely safe phase, the problem is when it will be activated, changing race is something never done before, and I'm not talking about simply putting parts of different races into one's body or mixing one's own blood with other creatures , I'm talking about a radical change, a change that not only modify your body but also your soul, and it is this last part the most dangerous one, all my guinea pigs, in fact, died because of a broken soul.
This machine has as the main task to remodel one's soul using a continuous and very strong pain.
"Master I am ready to release the energy"
Anna looks at me waiting for my confirmation.
With a slight hint, I nod.
I see her hand reaching out, the finger presses the button, the liquid begins to spin fiercely with me in the middle, and so I lie down in a sea of suffering and pain.
