The screen shifted again as new data rapidly assembled itself, appearing within a single heartbeat.
Gideon's eyes widened.
It wasn't the speed that stunned him, it was the content.
His profile filled the screen in clean, organized sections: his appearance, height, age, preferences, habits, likes, dislikes, even tiny details he had never spoken aloud.
It read him like an open book.

Gideon stared at the screen with a bewildered expression.
At this point, he no longer believed this was an ordinary app.
This was far beyond anything a simple game or prank app could produce.
"What… how do you even have all this?"
The calm, melodic voice returned immediately.
"I am bound to you, Master. Your mind, memories, and dormant power form my foundation. I merely present what already exists within you."
What a creepy thing.
He swallowed, unsure whether to be amazed or unnerved.
"So this isn't just a game."
"No, Master," the voice replied softly. "This is your skill.
The screen flashed.
"Would you like to begin modifying your parameters?"
Gideon felt his pulse quicken.
Looking at the screen, he saw the so-called parameters the mysterious AI was speaking about.
✧ Strength: –
✧ Agility: –
✧ Durability: –
✧ Intelligence: –
✧ Magic Power: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
✧ Luck: –
✧ Dick Size (In): 6
...Note: No wonder your girl cheated on you! How can you blame someone else for your inability?!
Gideon's eyes widened further as he read the so-called trivial section.
Dick Size (In): 6…
A cold flush spread across his face. He felt his stomach twist at the snide note the AI had added.
"Okay, that's just rude!"
The AI's voice, calm and almost amused, responded immediately.
"Master, personal data is only a reflection of truth. I make no judgment, only observation. These attributes are yours to acknowledge and, if you wish, to alter."
Alter…? You mean I could actually… change it?
His eyes returned to the screen, where each attribute was now highlighted, waiting for input.
Strength, Agility, Durability… even the trivial and embarrassing entries.
"You're saying I can modify myself?" he asked cautiously.
"Yes," the AI replied smoothly. "All parameters are within your control. Your perception, your effort, and your decisions dictate the outcome. But be warned: changes come at a cost. The greater the alteration, the greater the strain on your mind and body."
Gideon leaned back and contemplated about it.
The thought of altering things that he deemed flaws was nothing short of tempting. But all of his felt too sudden to be a coincidence.
What if he was being shamed?
What if someone had hacked his phone and was just messing with him?
What if some cosmic horror was trying to con him into a soul binding contract?
... Actually, the last one didn't make any sense.
Of all things, why possess his smartphone? Possessing his body directly would have been more beneficial, yes?
Like this, that possibility was negated out of his mind.
He hesitated, staring at the blinking cursor beside Dick Size.
Do I… even dare?
Gideon's hand hovered over the screen, trembling slightly.
Then, at that precise moment, he remembered how his girlfriend had cheated on him with another man and his heart hardened with something dark and interchangeable.
Screw her. I'll make sure to spite her even if it means signing a deal with the devil!
He tapped the screen.
Truly, a broken heart was hard to amend, easily corrupted by inclusive desires.
[You have changed Dick Size of Gideon from 6 inches to…]
The text blinked, waiting for input.
Gideon hesitated for a moment… then dragged the slider upward.
7…
8…
9…
He stopped at 13.
A number bold and ridiculous enough to stroke the bruised pride still festering in his chest.
He tapped "Confirm."
The screen pulsed with a soft chime.
[Modification Successful]
[Final Value: 13 inches]
[Applying changes to physical parameters…]
Gideon jolted as a warm, tingling sensation rippled through his lower body. It wasn't painful, but it sent a wave of disbelief racing up his spine.
"W‑Wait... did that actually...?"
He swiftly pulled down his pants and something immediately shot out like a holy sword.
The 'object' looked like it could truly slay the demon king.
Oh my...
The previously six inch member had truly increased up to thirteen inches. If it was painfully averaged six before, now it was like a succubus slayer and apparently, his girth has become more frightening too, resembling that of a soda can. Most girls would either faint or fall into despair upon looking at it.
Just like that, he obtained a rather large shaft for free.
"Holy shit! It really grew big! Hehehe!"
Reality felt like it had just tilted sideways. His brain struggled to accept what his eyes were telling him, leaving him caught somewhere between hysterical laughter and existential dread.
"I can't believe this… This is insane! Completely insane!"
He paced around the room once, running both hands through his hair.
If this thing could change that, then what else could it change?
Excited, he looked over his parameters and decided to increase strength.
[You have changed the strength of Gideon by one point.]
Then...
"Ack! Arggghh!!"
Gideon began to experience excruciating pain all over his body.
The sensation hit him like a tidal wave.
A violent, white-hot surge tore through Gideon's muscles.... no, through every fiber of his being. His knees buckled as if the ground had been pulled from under him, and he crashed down.
"A-AGH—!!"
His breath hitched.
It felt as if his bones were being reforged, his tendons stretched past their limits, his muscles unraveled and rewoven in the span of a second.
Something unseen was sculpting him from the inside out.
His body convulsed violently.
Foam gathered at the corner of his mouth as his jaw clenched, and his eyes rolled back from the overwhelming shock flooding his nerves.
In the next moment, Gideon's body went limp.
