New body

As I slowly regain my consciousness I began feeling a stabbing soreness all over my body. It felt like every cell in my body had just went to the gym for the first time and trained like a professional athlete. Every single movement brought about a slightly satisfying but mostly horrendous pain.

I can't talk with the system since moving my mouth, tounge or even forcing more than necessary wind out of my windpipe brought about pain. Actually, it's a part of me right? I don't need to talk to it out loud. I would facepalm myself if I could.

'Please explain what you just di-NGH-d and why before I devote all m-mMmMMMM-y future efforts to removing you'

[As you wish. The system doesn't run on energy therefore the only possible way to impliment the skills effect was to alter the DNA in every cell in your body]

'Couldn't you-UUU-'ve fucking told me?'

[You didn't ask]

'...'

If this system had a body I would strangle it to death. Anyway, I don't think I can get anything done at the moment. How long have I been out actually?

'How long was I out?'

[If by 'out' you mean unconscious then you have been 'out' for 24 hours]

God dammit, it's even starting to get an attitude. I really want get a refund.

All jokes aside, 24 hours is a long time. I should try to drink something as soon as I can but before I get up to get some I run into a problem. What the hell is this black substance on my body?

'hey, whats all this stuff around me?' By this point I could form proper thoughts although I don't know if it's because I've gotten used to the pain or if it's because there is less of it. Maybe both.

[The waste inside of your cells along with parts and DNA that was replaced.]

It's only now that the remodelling truly starts to hit me. Can I still be considered human? Aren't I more of an artificial lifeform than anything? In order to distract myself I start considering what to do.

With these new skills the results of our training could go straight through the roof. I say our becuse I will obviously use -Sharing is caring- on Jon. Whether the results make him inhuman or not is none of my concern. He WILL survive whether he likes it or not. Not only will he survive, he will thrive.

Back to the water problem. I don't actually feel that thirsty although I definetly should. Does -Physically gifted- help with that aswell? I guess water could be considered a type of nutrient. Does that mean I could survive much longer without food or water than other people? I'll take it. Wait, im getting derailed. Regardless of how thirsty I am I should get myself some water. For all I know the lack of thirst could be a side-effect of my recent surgury. I force myself off the cold wooden floor of my apartment. At this point the pain is bearable enough to move with minimal movements. I make my way over to the sink.
