Chapter 10: Castle upgrades with complications
Xhemile now waited until the bricks were ready. During this time, she sold 40 units of meat in exchange for 20 units of refined iron and built the soaking pot. Time flew not very fast and Xhemile didn't have much to do except for stalking the lords message platform, but even there nothing of interest plopped up. She then started to converse with her subjects about the tribe which they were from. Apparently, the tribe was long extinct as a kingdom was too afraid of their power and destroyed them. After the tribe was destroyed the remaining tribeswomen became refugees, but slave hunters as well as nobles started to target them for their beauty. That didn't work very well as they would need to use mind control magic to control them, as they would by a lapse of attention and control, kill their owners. Even if ownerless and tortured they would commit suicide if they could not escape which made them very rare among slaves. During this time the possession of such a slave was a status symbol for wealth and power, as they could control these powerful women. After that the tribe slowly declined and at the final, went extinct. In the current time, her tribe only existed in Xhemile’s territory and in books. During this chatter, the bricks were finally ready in the afternoon. Xhemile didn't waste a single second and upgraded her castle to rank 1.
{[Castle] [Karomama Castle]
[Rank 1]
[Castle heart durability 100/100 -> 500/500]
She was so close to upgrade her castle again but rank 1 was definitely better than rank 0. The castle didn't change from its size, but changed its appearance from derelict to newly constructed which would definitely upgrade the safety of its residents. This also came with a surprise.
[You leveled up to level 10 do you want to rank up?]
Xhemile thought about it and willed yes.
[Ranking up...]
[Enhancing compatible object found...Appraising... Appraisal complete!]
[[(Unique) Orb] do you want to use it?] [Y/N]
She willed again yes, without a thought about it.
[Unique Orb used!]
[Changing physique...]
Changing physique?! Wait a minute!
As she tried to stop it, her vision went black and all she heard was the surprised screams of her subjects and her body meeting the ground.

When Xhemile woke up again, she saw the worried faces of Nane, Nanu and Nour.
“My Lady! We were so worried!”: Nane cried in relief.
“I used an enhancing orb and it said it changed me.”: Xhemile tried to calm down her subordinates.
“My lady, can you please look what this orb was changing.”: Nour said in calm, serious tone.
Surprised by the seriousness of this situation Xhemile opened her system and scrolled back to her rank up notifications.

[Changing physique...]
[(Unique) Orb: Heirloom of the Karomama tribe used!]
“Heirloom of the Karomama Tribe?”: Xhemile asked confused.
“As I thought.”: Neeth suddenly said.
“What is it Neeth? What does it do?”: Nanu asked worried.
“I don't know what exactly what it does, but I heard stories about it.”: she said.
“Come on! Talk!”: Nour said impatiently.
“This magical orb was previously handed down to the chief of the tribe. It would alter the physique of every user it would deem as a worthy leader. There were chiefs of course without it acknowledging the current chief as its owner. The orb is considered as lost, after a big war against another tribe 2000 years ago. My lady does your system say how much it was compatible with yourself?”: Neeth explained.
“Wait a moment... It says 100%. Is that bad?”: Xhemile looked worried over.
“Well how am I going to say this? You look completely different than before and when I say completely, I mean it.”: She said.
“Mirror...”: Xhemile whispered barely audible.
“What did you say, my lady?”: Nane asked.
“Mirror!”: Xhemile screamed and jumped of the bed to run towards the mirror. When she reached it, she almost tried to apologize as there stood a naked woman there. What completely overwhelmed her, was that this woman made the same movements as she did.
“Huge...”: she whispered before falling unconscious.
-
When she came to herself again. Nane tried to calm her. Xhemile was now resigning.
“We can't change it back, can't we?”: She asked.
“No.”: Nour said silently.
“Please leave me alone.”: Xhemile said.
Nour nodded and dragged a very worried Nane with her. After closing the door and looking around to make sure she was alone, she started to cry. Xhemile cried for about five minutes before she calmed down and tried to accept her change. She stood up and walked towards the mirror. She started to analyze her changes. Firstly, her height had changed from a meagre 1.60 meters to a towering 2.20 meters! Also, her skin color changed to darker tone reminding her of hot chocolate. Her hair fortunately didn't change much, except in length, now falling down to her butt. The color almost remained the same and only got more black and smoothly silky. Her eyes had also changed in color now having a piercing green iris instead of a grey green iris. Her face also changed to a mature beauty. Next came the more obvious changes, her body. Instead in only increasing in height, it also increased in mass. Her breasts, before a meagre B-Cup now changed in size to enormous, she didn't know the Cup size but she would guess about F to H-Cup. Her new breasts also didn't sag which would be normal at such a size, they stood proudly defying gravity only sagging a little from their weight. Interestingly they were very soft to the touch. She then looked more downwards at her stomach, which now had abs. These abs were not overpowering but added to her allure. Her hips were wide and butt firm and soft to the touch. She now also had thicker thigs which would make a thig lover drool. Her entire body had almost no visible hair, except her hair on her head and brows. She started to twist and twirl her new body which felt very powerful and full of energy. She then opened her status.
