I was born into a poor family, my mother was a sickly woman and my father was an underpaid soldier. I was a very ugly boy, I was bullied many times because of it and I didn't want to get bullied anymore so I started to build muscles, I became a soldier but during my first battle an arrow hit my right leg and it crippled me.
I thought everything was over but then I met a nurse, she was also a very ugly woman with no attractive qualities but she was an obedient woman, we got married after one year. I wanted to heal my right leg but no one wanted to help me except my wife, I never loved her and I found her hideous but she did whatever I told her to do.
That day, I bought a book from a suspicious old man, he told me this book would heal my right leg and I started to flip through the pages, I tried every spell in the book but none of them worked and when I flipped to the last page I saw a spell called "Upgrade." I put my old wooden cane on the table and chanted the spell.
"Upgrade!" A light changed my old wooden cane into a new wooden cane. I was surprised at first and couldn't believe my eyes, so I tried again.
"Upgrade!" My new wooden cane turned into a metal cane, I kept upgrading my cane until it changed into a cane made of the strongest material, black dragon scale. I could easily sell this cane and be the richest person in my town but before that, I wanted to heal my leg so I looked at my leg and chanted.
"Upgrade!" A screen popped up in front of me.
[This Thing Cannot Be Upgraded]
I was outraged, everything was upgradable but not my leg?! I picked up a glass of water to prove my outrage and chanted.
"Upgrade!" The glass turned into a golden glass and the water inside turned into a holy water. I turned to my leg and chanted
"Upgrade!" Again the screen popped up in front of me.
[This Thing Cannot Be Upgraded]
I wasn't going to take no for an answer and kept going.

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
After trying for many times, my wife came into my room with a tray, she had a warming smile on her hideous face.
"Dinner is ready, my dear." I turned to her with a furious face.
"Didn't I tell you to knock!" I pushed her to the ground, the tray fell to the floor. The dinner was all over the place and this only made me angrier. I was about to hit her but then an idea struck my mind, I smiled at her and chanted.
"Upgrade!" At that moment her hideous face turned into a normal woman's face, it worked on humans as well, I picked up the tray and showed her own reflection. She was surprised, I wanted to see the most beautiful wife and so I kept going until she became a beautiful woman.
Her hair was like a string of gold attached together, her eyes were like a purple gem, her face was so beautiful that every man would fall for it. Her figure was perfect, her breasts were perfect, her ass was perfect, she was the definition of a perfect woman and I wanted to see more.
"Upgrade!" My wife wasn't human anymore, she grew angel wings and her hair turned white. Even looking at her felt "Holy" I wanted to see her next, upgrade.
"Upg-" She closed my mouth with her hand, she had a terrified look on her face.
"D-Dear, please don't. I have a very bad feeling about this." She was shaking but I didn't give a damn about her and shook her off.
"Upgrade!" The thing before me was…..I created a deity..….and then I heard her voice.
"Dear." I would give my life to hear that voice, I was so fascinated that I fell on my knees. That thing called my wife was….I couldn't put it in human words. It was just…Everything.
" I am so sorry my dear." She created a light and that light made me close my eyes….
When I opened my eyes, she was gone. I looked at my table but I noticed the book wasn't there, I went mad looking for the book, I turned the whole house upside down and saw the tray on the ground, I wanted to see the face I was making so I looked at my reflection
I saw a handsome young man with a black hair and blue eyes looking at me. This man wasn't me, it was somebody else and at that moment I realized that I was using my right leg while I was looking for the book, I was able to use my right leg again but I felt empty inside, something was missing and I wanted to fill that spot.
I wanted to use that ability one more time, so I picked up the tray and chanted.
"Upgrade!" A screen popped up in front of me but this wasn't like the other screens.

After seeing the requirements, I smiled. The village I lived in was a very small village in the north, the village didn't even have an adventurer's guild and everyone lived in the village was quite old. Now, that my right leg was healed, I was the strongest in the village.
I went to the basement and opened a chest, there were my armor and my sword. I wore my armor and picked up my sword, I went outside and started to slaughter people. None of them had the ability to fight back and I easily killed everyone in that village.
I looked at my sword and chanted.
"Upgrade!"
