章 2: Yuna
"Ugh."
A groan was heard and the owner of the voice got up while rubbing his head.
"Damn that hurt so much."
He got up from the floor and looked at himself in the mirror. "Oh god, what the fuck?"
His appearance was now absolutely disgusting! Scabs, dead skin, cracks, and the dried blackish sticky liquid were all over his body.
He was also close to vomiting, almost further enhancing his appearance.
Akito immediately rushed towards the shower and took a nice long bath.
After a while, he got out with a towel around his waist. Looking at himself in the mirror again his eyes widened with joy!
His skin was smooth and he lost the previous fat he had. His hair had grown longer as well.
On a closer look, the pores filled with impurities were now clear. His face if previously looked somewhat good then now it could be called handsome.
"... No jade skin? Indeed a privilege only for female beauties in cultivation novels."
Honestly, he was scared of becoming feminine but thankfully that didn't happen, all he lacked now was muscles and abs.
Admiring himself a bit more he quickly checked the time.
He didn't how long he was unconscious before but he was sure 'mom' wasn't back yet. She had always made him call her 'mom' since he was young so it was a somewhat habit now.
"I guess I still have an hour left, guess I'll check the manual now." His expression changed and with a smile, he picked the manual up.
With a burst of light it entered his forehead and with that came another bout of pain.
"FUCK!!!"
It was even worse than before!
***
"Life sure is a bitch..."
Gulp. Gulp.
"Haaaa." Wiping his mouth he placed the glass of water down. Honestly, while the pain was worse it was still bearable, he didn't know if it was because of this new 'improved' body or that he had just experienced a similar pain just before.
As he closed his eyes thousands of images passed through his mind, they were all related to the Divine Heavenly Destruction martial arts. It felt awkward, he could now perform all of these techniques with almost perfection but his body wasn't developed enough.
Not to mention the lack of ki!
Ki was similar to the life force of living beings. Before this, he couldn't sense it but now he could, and even though there was ki in the surroundings the amount was too lacking for him to use.
Shaking his head in disappointment he cheered himself up, 'Well it's fine, after I travel to different dimensions I should be able to find large amounts of ki to use. It wasn't like I was going to go around and destroy cities for no reason, right?'
Chuckling he adjusted his body a bit and did some basic movements. Feeling the power in his movements his eyes sparkled.
"There shouldn't be anyone that can beat me on earth if I train my body a bit more right?" He thought before frowning, "Unless there is some hidden martial artists bullshit."
Though the possibility was unlikely it wasn't impossible. Even a weird system existed, who's to say martial artists or psychic powers didn't exist?
"Well, whatever I'm not going to waste brain cells on this. Mom should be back soon, I should make dinner."
***
*Ding* *Dong*
The bell rang and Akito went to open it.
"Finally home!" A shadow rushed at him as soon as he opened the door and hugged him causing him to smile warmly.
"How was school Akito?"
She had long glossy dark brown hair and a slim figure but her pretty face was filled with weariness. Her eyelashes were long and her eyes were similar to purple gems.
"It was fine."
"Boo! Always the same boring response." She complained while taking off her shoes and rubbing her feet.
She stretched and finally looked at Akito properly before blinking a bit.
They stared at each other in silence...
She blinked and...
"Eh, W-what happened to you?!" She ran her hands all over his face and body in surprise.
"Stop Stop!" He made some distance from her, "I just used a different soap today..." His voice turned feeble towards the end, even he couldn't believe how ridiculous of an explanation this was.
"Do you think I'm a fool?"
As expected.
"I've also been working out you know and I'm really not lying just try it out and you'll understand tomorrow." He could only stick with this stupid explanation. He shook his head and continued, "You've been quite tired to notice these past few days."
"Hmph, I'll make you spit out your secret anyway," She looked at his skin with jealousy. He also looked slimmer now, she wondered when he exercised.
But most importantly,
Why did he have better skin than her all of a sudden?!
"Fine fine, just change, and let's have dinner already."
"Mmm," Nodding in agreement she looked at him a bit more before heading to her room.
Looking at her back, his eyes were filled with emotions. He knew that even though she was just 30 years of age she had lived a rough life taking care of him.
She had no reason to take him in and yet loved him like a real mother, but he did have to hand it to her, She filled in the gap of both parents pretty easily.
Now that he had a system why shouldn't he make her life easier? It was time to return the favor...

"Argh, That damn pig always causing trouble," Yuna grumbled while enjoying the food Akito made.
Akito could only silently listen.
"Have you tried finding a new job?"
"Of course! But do you think it's that easy?" She sighed. Her workspace was quite toxic and ever since the new project was announced the workload had increased.
This created a heavy atmosphere in the office.
"Oof, I'll sleep early, can you please take care of the dishes today?"
"Don't worry." He waved her off and she quickly headed to bed after taking a quick bath.
Akito washed the dishes and headed towards his room to sleep as well.
But after two hours Akito headed towards her room and opened the door. There he saw her sleeping peacefully with a slight frown causing him to frown as well.
"I should find a way to earn some money..." He whispered to himself and crouched next to her bed, he brought his face closer to hers and silently looked at her.
Taking out the pill from his pocket he slowly parted her lips with his fingers, placing the pill in her mouth, and waited by the side.
It only took a minute for her to start writhing in pain. Her body moved about and twitched but Akito could only look without doing anything.
Earlier he had mixed a sleeping pill in her food.
There was another reason he had abruptly fed her pill, It was because of her illness of Fibromyalgia¹. He hoped this pill would soothe her.
Honestly, he wasn't ready to just immediately blurt out that he had a weird fantasy chat group bla bla bla. He'd rather not involve her in such things.
Noticing that the blackish liquid would appear soon he quickly picked her up and headed towards the bathroom.
Looking at her face that was still twitching with pain he muttered, "... Sorry."
Without any hesitation, he took her clothes off and placed them away, and gently put her in the bathtub of warm water.
His eyes darted towards her private parts quite a few times but he slapped himself and chanted a mantra in his mind.
Thankfully the disgusting smell warded off the lust he felt. The water was soon dirtied and he picked her wet body and placed it under the shower.
Unfortunately or Fortunately, His hands were slowly slipping in the wrong directions.
'Control yourself, Control yourself, Control yourself, Control yourself, Control yourself, Control yourself, Control yourself, Control yourself.'
He was a healthy young man, it wasn't his fault, right?
Soon the shower was done, he started drying her up and dressed her too. Looking at her he unconsciously gulped, her skin was, even more, smoother than his and her face was even more outstanding.
Even the slight uneven tan she had was gone. Her beauty could even shame models!
He could only shake his in embarrassment due to his dirty thoughts.
Tucking her back in bed, he drank a glass of cold water to calm himself, honestly, he was too tired to relieve himself.
He laid on his bed and slept as well with one final thought.
'What a fruitful day...'
