(POV Narrator)
"Why are the men of your race so fucking greedy." The man sighed as he got ready to pay with the eyeball. Before he paid, he started ranting about the perfect body that all business owners should have to vent.
"Boy, if you looked anything like I described, you would get loads of customers. I swear they will even treat you with the respect and kindness you desire." The wizard wearing a giant loose blue robe with golden stars on it said with payment in hand.
"Your dark gray eyes look hollow and dead, in my opinion! While you have green hair, your entire aura is anything but a lively color associated with the color. Even your voice is boring..." The wizard said while he kept picking apart any flaw, he could see and say how these flaws could be fixed.
'He has been a loyal customer for centuries. He has also seen multiple SN locations under different managers over the centuries. Chances are he's probably dealt with many kinds of employees over the years with all his travels.
His opinion on how my personality and body type should be will help me overcome my flaws. They are slugs, but listening to this man might help. He's the first one to ever give me such detailed advice.' The young man with green hair thought while seeing this from a pragmatic point of view.
'They told me I was perfect time and time again when I sought improvement. How can I ever be perfect when my track record in my latest position shows I'm a lackluster boss?
Those slugs want me to fail! That's why they never gave me any real help, even when I begged them for help or did them favors; they never gave any true, meaningful help in the end. They don't show me where I might be able to improve in any of the areas I fail at because they know I'll surpass them the moment I know of their secret to success.
Those bugs surpass me in every fucking category in the company! From strength, knowledge, and wisdom to the monthly report analysis that grades every worker's performance. I have been working in management for ten years now, and every goddamn month, I come in dead last in all the rankings.' The young man with green hair thought as they mentally approved of their plan before activating it.
'Ego death, or live your life as a talentless piece of shit who is mocked by the bugs he hates. It's now or never! The old me needs to die for the upgrade to arise!' The green-haired man thought as his dark gray eyes shined a bit when a gold spark suddenly appeared and lit up inside them for a few seconds.
"Oh, I didn't know being a beautiful female made customers have a better mood..." They said with a monotone voice while his face was expressionless.
"I'll take you up on... your... advice to become better than before."
The green-haired youth said a bit of hesitation, but he ultimately followed the wizard's advice.
'I feel weird... I don't want to do this any longer. We feel weird. We are in pain. He is in pain, and I'm feeling better...' We thought as I forced my other older self to keep going with the current process they wanted to wrom out last minute.
The young man's body shifted as his average face improved in looks. The transformation was completed in sixty seconds within this time the young man with short green hair, and gray eyes was gone forever.
In the sixty seconds his eyes were still gray, and transitioning to gold they were filled with an overwhelming sense of pain, fear, and dread. Yet, bit by bit as her eyes turned gold, the fear, pain, and dread vanished. These negative emotions were replaced by joy & happiness.
Standing before the customer in a wizard outfit was a beautiful woman with long green hair reaching the floor. Her gray eyes turned gold, and her expressionless face was filled with life.
"Thank you, sir, you see I am new around here, and just got transferred here 10 years ago. You see I'm, only 364 years old, so please forgive my attitude earlier." The woman replied with a sweet voice while a big smile appeared on her face.
'I can hardly control these new feelings. Is this what it feels like to be alive?' She thought while she constantly looked around the room in amazement
"Your advice will assist me out in the future. So the next 15 trips at this establishment are completely free." She said with an even bigger smile as her face warped for this smile to reach her ears and her teeth morphing alongside it.
'Is this what happiness feels like!? It's strange, but it feels nice and warm.' She thought while looking down at her hands.
The wizard however, ignored her, as he only stared at her chest, as her shirt was still the same as her male form. He heard her voice that was as sweet as honey and used his classic wizard bullshit to make shit up.
"Don't worry, those following the Arcane Truth will always help others in need." The wizard told her this, but he never looked her in the eyes since the change.
Before long, a portal opened, and another figure could be seen. His black hair was braided, and he had a very dark tan. Behind the man was a savannah with many animals roaming around. Next to Paul was a white minivan with the SN gold logo on it.
"Paul, this guy wants to travel to the abyss near your location. Sorry Paul, I owe him for teaching me something new." She asked while putting my hands together in a praying motion to Paul as she lowered her head before him just as her back bent going down as well in one motion.
Paul looked her up and down before summoning a big, loose green sweat jacket with a gold SN logo on his junior. He saw she looked indecent by company standards wearing her old outfit so he fixed it.
The wizard was disappointed at the turn of events, but he simply turned his view down below.
'Paul didn't say anything, he usually doesn't talk much. Paul only voices out his important opinions or conversations. If he didn't point out my new change, he must, support it.'She thought her world had been so colorful since she took advice from that wizard.
The wizard walked through the portal as Paul gave him an annoyed look. As the portal closed, she heard them say a few things...
"Did you see her ass, that body... truly is God's work. I gave her the idea, this design and idea was mine... Maybe I will be a God in another thousand years... I might even become a Magic God if the abyss materials are found." The wizard said as his old hands kept drawing a figure in the air that looked similar to the outline of the green-haired woman.
"Paul, it's been ages since I last used your services. Do you still sell Phoenix ash in that minivan of yours?" The wizard asked while he kept poking Paul's so-called weak point repeatedly trying to get a discount on his items.
"Quiet, I'll tell you when I take you to the abyss of black magic." Paul said flatly.
'Fine, be like that Paul... Maybe I should recruit more female employees or female apprentices.' The Wizard thought as they looked back once through the closing portal to admire their craftsmanship one last time. The wizard then turned away from the portal to keep nagging Paul.
It looked like the wizard was going to say more, but the portal fully closed before she could hear anymore. She felt proud as Paul didn't disagree or comment on her new look. She stepped outside her office to look around the corner before stuck her head outside to call for the next customer.
James & Emma had answered the call as they couldn't comprehend the situation they just heard. James personally was wondering if everyone who worked here was either scary or weird...
