Abraham Kahn, a nerdy student

You are not much to talk about. Somewhat chubby because you've never really done much sports of exercise. you've spent your childhood reading books and geeking out. You got short cut brown hair. The color of your skin implies you should spend some more time out in the sun. A black cap on your head was hiding your scruffy haircut and hints of a receding hairline.

So, overall, you are not exactly someone that would pop up on any "top 500 charismatic people" lists. Sure, you aren't slow and you have friends. But, everyone has friends in the same situation and almost everyone are clever enough to open a door or flip a burger. so, you think a ring of charisma just might be worth the risks.

You read up on the general descriptions of the advantages the ring gives you. Increased self confidence is the first on the list, and you'd really love some of that. The ability to help having your wishes come true was another. It even would make you more physically attractive to the opposite sex. The attributes specific for males included increased penis size, better job offers, natural leadership of others and so on and so forth.

Now, you should never read just the advantages of magical items. Most of these were after all made for perverts who like sculpting themselves into ridiculous figures who live for nothing but fucking around. So, you skip down the website to the disadvantages.

Risk of unexpected side effects from minor reality rewriting was a big one. Examples included a lot of unwanted sexual encounters and monogamous relationships being torn apart... Not a problem for someone not in a relationship!

The second warning was that wings could have random extra effects not visible before using it. Like making a guy slowly turn into a middle aged secret agent stereotype, pimp, or even a pretty faced teen pop star. Well, being a pretty boy sounded a bit weird, but the k-pop guys seems to be worshipped by millions of teenage girls so that seemed like a risk you would be willing to take.

The final big one was curses, or "give-and-take" effects. They gave the rings exotic abilities but at the cost of disadvantages. The lists mentioned involuntary harem generation, incestual relationships, alterations to people near the user, memory alterations, aggressive personality alterations and permanent changes which overrode the guarantee that the effects of the ring would go away a short while after taking the item off.

The list continued with various minor examples, but most of them seemed hypothetical or anecdotal at best. The biggest worry in your eyes was the incestuous one. You lived at home and had an older sister and brother still living at home as well. Mom and dad bought a big suburban house, more like two houses built together, twenty years ago. It was common sense for you all to live here until you've finished your studies and gotten some financial safety. Which wasn't too easy these days with all the insanity going on in the world, but normies did their best with what they got left.

Still, all the descriptions say all alterations are avoidable and you will be able to undo anything changed by focusing really hard on doing so. However, as with many of these artifacts, orgasms and climaxes tended to trigger various effects, so you should do your best to avoid jerking off if you were caught in a situation you weren't happy with.

You held the ring up to your face between your thumb and index finger. It was a pretty thin gold ring, and you didn't really see any engraved text on it. There was a heart shaped diamond on top, which in the various RGB lights in your bedroom looked pretty plain.
