2 Body Transformation

[Master, your blood pressure is rapidly increasing. Please calm down, as it can be harmful in your current state.]

'After hearing about this body health condition I almost forgot, now that I have Rooh with me that's not even an issue so let's start with my brilliant plan to overcome this body limitation.'

"Rooh, initiate the healing process."

[Affirmative, master. It will take approximately one hour to fully heal your body.]

"Excellent, that will suffice. In the meantime, I should assess this boy's situation."

'Hmm, based on Seo Jun's memories, it seems that he's involved in fights or rather being bullied by delinquents who demand protection money. Additionally, his friend's brother ended up in a coma due to severe bullying. Seo Jun is helping her in an investigation to gather evidence against the mastermind behind these delinquents and the boy's situation.'

"Well, I suppose that's a positive note. Thankfully, the previous owner of my body wasn't as timid as a scaredy-cat and wasn't a bread shuttle. Boy, I must say I'm proud of you for standing up to those bullies, even with your trash body condition."

At the moment, it's nighttime in the Incheon district, and considering that my high school is located in the Namdong area, I need to make some preparations. The first step is to learn martial arts, and luckily, I have Rooh to assist me.

"Rooh, get ready to scan and gather information on martial arts, specifically for customization in real-time combat."

I have some knowledge of MMA at an intermediate level, but that's primarily for sparring purposes. However, considering there might be high school students who have mastered various martial arts styles that won't be enough. Therefore, I need to be adequately prepared, at least to that extent, right now.

"Yawn." What's this? A message from Eunji?

(Rudra, aren't you coming to school today?)

Ah, so she's the girl whose brother is in a coma. I should let her know that I won't be attending school today.

(I am not coming today. I have some personal work to take care of.)

Yawn, I'm still feeling sleepy. I spent the entire night browsing through martial arts manuals for scanning.

"Rooh, did you scan everything accurately?"

[Yes, Master. Should I transfer the information now?]

"No, not yet. First, I will transform my body and then customize the data accordingly."

Hehe, I'm already excited about my new body. Let's head straight to the market to gather the necessary raw materials.

Finally, I've returned home with all the necessary items, including the cactus plant, dung beetle, ironclad beetle, cockroach, bumblebee, and trap-jaw ant.

"Skill predator." As I touch them, my hand's skin absorbs everything within its grasp.

"Rooh, thoroughly analyze and extract their DNA genes."

[Analysis completed]

• Cactus: Special ability 'Electromagnetic Radiation absorption' extracted.

• Dung beetle: Special ability 'Superhuman Strength' extracted.

• Ironclad beetle: Special ability 'Strongest Exoskeleton' extracted.

• Cockroach: Special ability 'Second Wind' (nuclear radiation resistance) extracted.

• Bumblebee: Special ability 'Smartest' extracted.

• Trap-jaw ant: Special ability 'Lightning Reflexes' extracted.

"Very well, Rooh. Make these abilities' genes capable of transforming my body without any side effects or altering my human features."

[Processing...]

*Ding*

[Success! However, the efficiency rate is only 10%. Master due to the weak constitution of your body and differences in DNA structure, your body can only acquire 10% of the actual capabilities of the genes.]

"Shit, that's lower than I expected." Nonetheless, even at 10%, it's still quite impressive considering my weak body. It should be enough to make me strong and capable of becoming a crew head-level character.

"Rooh, begin the transfer process. How long will it take?"

[Master, It will take approximately 6 hours to reform your body by changing every cell.]

[Master, I recommend using anesthesia for a smoother transfer. I will administer anesthesia, and your body will naturally go into a self-defense mode during the process.]

"Alright, thank you, Rooh."

After six hours, Standing before a mirror is a man with a ripped, muscular physique. He stands at an imposing height of 6.1 feet and weighs a solid 90 kilograms. His jet-black hair fall messily to eye length, adding an untamed charm to his appearance. However, it is his sea-green eyes that steal the spotlight, imparting a sense of intrigue and mystery to his overall look. He stands there, naked and confident, admiring the outstanding results of his physical metamorphosis.

"Oh, my god, this is incredible! I can feel an unimaginable strength coursing through my body, and these thick, ripped muscles are truly remarkable. And my eye color has changed to sea green after the gene transfer. Amazing!"

"Rooh, can you show me the results of those ability genes?"

[Yes, Master.]

• Defense - Your body is now capable of withstanding up to 351,000 kilograms, which is 3900 times your body weight (90 × 3900 = 351,000 kg). 'Strongest Exoskeleton,' activated at 10%.

• Reflexes - Your reflexes have sharpened significantly, allowing you to react within 30 milliseconds, which is faster than the average human reflex time of 150-300 milliseconds. 'Lightning Reflexes,' activated at 10%.

• Thought processing - Your cognitive abilities have skyrocketed, enabling your thought processing to be 10 times faster than the average person. 'Smartest,' activated at 10%.

• Endurance - Your endurance has been amplified to a remarkable degree, being 10 times higher than that of the average person. This makes you exceptionally resilient and difficult to defeat. 'Second Wind' activated at 10%.

• Special Bloodline: Electromagnetic Cell - You possess a unique bloodline trait known as the Electromagnetic Cell. With this ability, you can harness the power of photosynthesis to recover stamina and temporarily enhance your body. However, due to the 10% efficiency, the limit of this ability is set to 2 minutes. (Side effect: triggers desires.)
