"Da fuq?!" Tom called out as he saw himself in the mirror.

He didn't look much different from before, but some things have changed.

Firsts and foremost, Tom's eyes have changed slightly. The color is the same vibrant haunting red, but his pupils have changed their shape. Instead of the normal round pupils he's always had, Toms pupils are now vertical slits.

Looking into his own eyes, Tom couldn't help but feel intimidated. His new pupils made his eyes look very scary.

'Hmm, I guess it could be worse. At least they look sort of cool.' Tom thought as he closed and locked the bathroom door. 'Let's see if anything else changed.

Taking off his clothes, Tom started looking for anything else that might have changed as well.

There weren't any dramatic changes like his eyes, but his body did change. He became leaner and muscles that he didn't remember having are much more pronounced compared to before.

Tom thought of one last thing and opened his mouth, sticking out his tongue. It looked about the same, except for the fact that it is longer than it used to be. It's about double the length it was before the ritual.

'Hehe, Druella might like this~' He thought naughtily.

While his mouth was open, Tom got a good look at his perfect white teeth. All of them looked the same except for the canines, which are now pointier and sharper than before.

Looking closely, Tom made sure he did have any venom sacks or hollow teeth to transport venom. Thankfully, he didn't have either.

Although venom would be cool to have, it's just not practical to bite his opponents. If Tom wanted to use venom, he can coat his weapons in some leftover basilisk venom.

After seeing that nothing crazy has happened to his body, which he was happy with, Tom used the bathroom, washed his hands, and got dressed before returning to the Ancient One, who was waiting outside the door.

"Based on your scream I would guess that you noticed the change in your eyes?" The Ancient One asked as Tom took a seat on his bed.

"Yup, I also checked the rest of my body. There's nothing as major as the eyes, but I am more slim and chiseled than before, which I don't mind." Tom explains.

"Oh? That must be nice. Losing weight and gaining muscle through a ritual while the rest of us have to watch what we eat and exercise." The Ancient One complains in a disgruntled tone.

"Hey, don't act like I was some fat guy before the ritual! I've been training my body for six years now." Tom defends himself. "It's not my fault you've been eating one too many potato chips lately..."

As she hears Tom's words, a dark aura surrounds the Ancient One. She glared at Tom with a menacing stare as she contemplated ways to make his life miserable.

"Did you just call me fat?" She asks in an overly calm voice.

Tom could feel that if he answered incorrectly, the consequences would be very terrible.

"No... of course not..." Tom says as he backs away.

"Hmm, I think you did though. I've been waiting to punish you for all the times you called me old and bald. What better time to dish it out than now? You have to test out that new body of yours anyway, right?" She asks rhetorically as she waves her hand.

A portal appears below Tom's feet and he falls straight into the mirror dimension. Although he was taken by surprise, he landed with far more grace than he had before the ritual.

The Ancient One jumps through the same portal as it closes behind her, trapping Tom inside the mirror dimension. Since he just woke up, Tom didn't have his sling ring so he really is trapped.

"Calm down, Mom. I wasn't calling you fat..." Tom says, knowing full well he wasn't fooling anyone.

"I was going to send you to a hell dimension for your punishment, but you may be too strong for that now. I suppose, I'll have to settle for giving you a beating myself." The Ancient One says as circular eldritch runes appear on her fists and feet. "First, let's test some close-quarters combat."

As she says this, the Ancient One dashed forward at double the speed of Captain America.

Although she was faster than he ever thought she could move, Tom could see her every move as if the Ancient One was moving in slow motion.

'Eye power? Check!' Tom thought happily as the Ancient One stepped within range to strike.

She pulled back her fist and snapped it forward to punch Tom square in the face. Tom saw it all in slow motion, ducking his head and dodging the punch with ease.

As he dodged, Tom aimed a light punch at his mother's stomach. He didn't know if his strength increased, so Tom didn't use his full power to hit her.

Although Tom had the senses and speed to easily dodge her punch, the same couldn't be said for the Ancient One. Tom's punch came quickly and landed perfectly.

As Toms fist connected, the air in the Ancient Ones lungs was pushed out, and she was sent flying backward.

As she was sent hurling back about 15 feet, Tom froze and looked at his fist in shock.

'I barely used any power for that...' He thought as his mother twirled in the air and landed safely on her feet.

She didn't look too affected by the blow, but she was holding her stomach for a minute.

"Well, we can add super senses, super strength, and super dexterity to the list of your new powers." She says as the eldritch runes around her hands and feet disappear. "Now, let's check if you have super speed as well."

Countless chains of eldritch energy lunged from her body. Each of them with a different weapon attached at the end.

"Thanks for showing this to me. It took me a few hours to master."
