Only when he released himself into her, did she snap out of it. She hurriedly withdraws her hands which had unknowingly started to caress his body and distanced herself from him. She then tried to stand up and since he didn't keep her down, she managed to get up.
She had completely lost her top and her shirt had been destroyed as well, thus she stood in front of Ivan in her full naked glory. The result of their session could faintly be seen dropping down her leg, a mixture of her and his juices.
At the moment he had come to his climax he had started to change back. But unlike her, who was now full of energy, it looked like he had lost all his energy.
When his body crumbled down, she hurriedly moved towards him and stabilized him, letting him slowly lie down on the bed.
"Hm, something is wrong.", she wondered. It had been to easy for her to catch him. Although he wasn't that heavy, she would have been too weak to do it before. And although the ritual was supposed to give her some vitality back, this should have mostly gone into restoring her youth temporarily. Leaving her with the strength of a normal adult woman. Instead, she had been able to easily catch him, which would require much more strength than that of a normal adult woman.
She pushed the question aside for now and instead focused on Ivan first. After checking, she realized that he was not only exhausted but that there also seemed to be a lot of damage to his body. It was just that with her current strength she was unable to get a better picture.
"For now I guess I can only wait for him to wake up.", she breathed a sigh of relief since he was still ok and turned her focus back on herself.
"Well, first of all, let's get washed up." There was some sticky fluid on her leg and the rest of her body felt dirty as well.
After entering the bathroom, she directly went under the shower. When the warm water started to stream over her body, she could feel herself relax. But when she saw the color of the water she was startled once again. It was nearly black at first but then went back to clear water again.
She knew why the water would be black. In addition to the pain, she had felt before their sex session, the black water should result from the impurities, that had been pushed out of her body. The only question was why that had happened since it was usually something that only happens at the end of the flesh refining realm.
After the shower, she felt completely renewed and decided to take a look into the mirror, something she had evaded ever since she had started to age so drastically.
What looked back at her from the mirror was her younger face. Her skin was smooth, her lips red and her green eyes seemed to sparkle. Her hair was once again firey red and was in a bob cut which was surprising since it was different from before.
She softly slid her hands over her smooth cheeks and a smile appeared on her face, making her look even more beautiful.
"Damn, it's so great to be beautiful again." Although she wasn't that focused on beauty, it wasn't like she wouldn't prefer to be beautiful.
"If only it would be gone soon again." When thinking about that her smile vanished. The ritual would only give her back her beauty for a short time. After that, she would once again go back to that hateful old body.
She went back to the room and searched for some clothes to wear, but everything she owned was cut for her old self and now wasn't suitable at all. She could only take a dress, that wasn't that bad looking and fitting and wear it until she could buy something fitting.
Now that she was clothed, it was time to check out what exactly had happened with the ritual. Because if everything went as expected, then she shouldn't have felt any pain and Ivan shouldn't be out like he was now.
She first took a look at the system prompts, that had been minimized, starting from the oldest one.

"What the?", she exclaimed after reading the prompt. It was similar to the one, Ivan had before, just that it was a racial conversion ritual instead of a mind-altering spell. She had heard about those racial conversion rituals but they were extremely rare and required the caster to not only have a special bloodline but also unfathomable strength.
"But what is a Draconian?", she wondered, never having heard of this race before. Judging by the info she had now changed into one since she couldn't resist the ritual. It was just that she didn't feel any different and when she had looked at herself in the mirror she hadn't seen anything different either.
And what was this about a fine? She didn't even do anything, so why was she being fined? She could only hope that the fine wasn't much, not that she had anything of worth.
Taking a deep breath, she looked at the next message.
<< Congratulations, your race has been changed from Human to Draconian
The Draconian race is the servant race of the noble dragon race.
Since long ago, it is custom that the royal dragons change their most trusted servants of the other gender into the artificial Draconian race. This is widely seen as the highest honor a servant can be bestowed with since it shows the trust of their master.
Back in ancient times, a group of dragon researcher has developed the artificial Draconian race in an attempt to strengthen their most loyal servants. They managed to create a ritual that could infuse part of the power of the dragon casting it into the servant, elevating them to new heights. After all, the Dragon race is seen as one of the highest races in existence.
By infusing their servants with their power, their bodily and mental strength increases drastically. Besides that, they become even more loyal and will keep an appearance that is to the liking of the master, independently to how they would originally look.
This led to many humans to try to become a draconian since it would grant them an infinitely youthful appearance since dragons are a race that loves beauty and would never let someone not beautiful stay beside them if they could change it.

After reading the short introduction, Celine was in shock. She knew that Ivan had dragon blood in him but according to this introduction he even had royal blood inside him. But that wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was that she would be able to keep her current appearance as long as he was happy with it.
"Hell, I must make sure, that he loves this appearance of me.", she instantly made this decision. After having experienced having an old body and with the hope of staying young, there was no way that she would ever risk going back to some other appearance. Especially an old one.
She went back to the bed to once again check on Ivan and when she saw that he was still sleeping peacefully, she once again smiled happily. After softly stroking his hair, she left the room.
The others were happily chatting in the living room when the door to Celine's room opened. Because Lucia had kept an eye on the door all the time she was the first to see the young woman leaving the room. When she saw her a look of shock appeared on her face and she couldn't help staring at her.
Although it had been a long time since her mother had lost her youthful appearance, she could still remember how she had looked back then. At that time she had only been five. And as a five-year-old, having to see one's mother age every day until she looked more like a grandma than a mother was something that had left a lasting impression. Etching her former appearance deep into her mind.
Sorry for the long delay.
