With the combination of your adjusted Age, your Physical Statistics and the purging of the Atrophied Muscles Status, you are granted a free run through of the Body Customization to modify the way you will look when released from the tutorial.

Well, hey, when this is all over, I may be able to lose my virginity after all! he thought to himself as one of the most customizable create-a-character interfaces he had ever seen loaded up around him.

There were two different 'defaults' already loaded up, with the one of the left showing him as he was when the system launched, atrophied muscles, aged to thirty-seven, with his previous lacking height and shoulder width. He had been confused for a woman a few times from behind, and even from the front when he was in high school and starting college.

The other default showed a well-toned, but not an obscenely muscular man, with a few extra inches of height to what he had originally had. In addition to the four-pack of abs, his face had firmed up, showing someone who appeared stern but fair, with a history of training in either a martial art or a sword form.

He selected the second default, and then went through each option, adjusting his hair length by centimeters only to change the style and restart all over. He changed his hair to a dark blue, almost to the point of black, but making sure that the blue was the primary appearance. Then he chuckled. "No, I'm not a Scott..." he stated as he changed it from blue to emerald green, which he liked as he changed his eyes to a shade between orange and gold, and adjusted the length and thickness of his eyelashes.

He spent what felt like an hour adjusting various facial features, and growing out a respectable beard. He made sure that the emerald green of his hair matched the beard, as well as the light body hair that he gave himself, and the pubic hair. He spent an inordinate amount of time, fighting with himself over whether to do it or not, but he couldn't help it when eventually the desire not to seem undersized won, and he increased his manhood from the modest five and a half inches to a respectable eight and a half, as well as increasing the girth to twice what it had been.

After taking care of that issue, he spent the time going over the rest of the options, which included weird things like buying a Mana Resonance Gland, which came in various different types depending on internal or external, and the amount of sensory feedback received through it. He chose an option that would have cost him a whopping five hundred grand of his remaining PPP if not for this chance to modify his body for free, and that was including the Beholder-Class Internal Mana Resonance Gland, which granted him a sphere of magic vision that equated to twice his Perception Statistic in meters, with the clarity of the image that used his Acquity Statistic as its base.

In addition to MRG, he chose to grab both the ki and mana circulatory systems and enhanced his internal structure and systems to the highest quality that they could be for his Statistics, even saturating them with both ki and mana and increasing the cellular density and health. In the end, his nails would be hard enough to score stone, and his bones and hair could be considered metal in its tolerances, but it was nothing compared to how dense he could make the cells of his brain. The increased cellular density in his mind then unlocked another menu which allowed him to purchase two more additions to his brain, a 'Mana Core', and an extra lobe for control of mana.

The 'Mana Core' soaked up all of who, and what he is, with a deep well pumping his mana regeneration into his Soul Dimension when not in use. At the same time, a 'Ki Core' formed near his heart, in what was the place of the 'Middle Dantian' regarding to tai'chi, which would make the Mana Core being his in his Upper Dantian. He guessed the system would be considering Ki and Qi to be the same thing, with where the core formed. He focused upon the 'Lower Dantian' and smiled as he purchased the 'Soul Core', which made the body suddenly ring like a bell and the Ki and Mana stopped fighting each other! Both flowed smoothly through their channels and had a new density beyond just basic levels, and the source of this change came from his Soul Core.

By the time he had finished with the full body workover, he had selected upgrades totaling to well over two million in PPP, which included major enhancements to all of his senses in addition to the rest that he had already covered here. When he selected to complete his time inside the Body Shop, he was asked to confirm the purchases, and he could feel the grin that he would have had if he had been in his body as he confirmed purchasing the mega-enhanced Earthling - Human (Modified) body that he had created for a grand total of 0 PPP.
