Against her best intentions, she changes the card.

Submissiveness? Go fuck yourself, Phuong thought.

"No, I'm rejecting and switching it," she said. Her pulse racing.

"Aha! Interesting! You are aware that you have to change this one card against two transformations and you won't be able to reject those?"

"Yes. Thanks for telling me," Phuong said sarcastically. "I watched quite a few of your shows."

"Well, well, well... let's see what we got for you... Jewellery! And... Lust Induction! What do you say, Phuong?"

"Do I have to say anything?" Her lips were tight. She cursed herself. She had known, hadn't she? Then again, those were probably bearable options, given the fact that she had just avoided the dreaded 'submissiveness' and, or course, some other things like shrinking, butt expansion, slutification or mental drain. She wasn't fond of wearing heavy jewellery, but it certainly was a minor transformation. As for lust... she didn't exactly know how this would play out. The show always emphasized that those kind of mental changes did not turn the candidates into lusty sluts - just augmented their natural sex drive. Yet Phuong had seen quite a few episodes where female candidates had started to behave... weirdly.

"Into the Chamber you go, please," Frank said, his eyes sparkling.

Phuong rose from her seat, smiled at him with a strained expression and walked over to the big golden door which held "The Chamber", the mysterious place where some kind of weird modern technology changed the very substance of your body and mind, by way of DNA editing or atom manipulation or maybe magic for all Phuong knew.

As she stepped inside, she heard a soft whirring and a faint buzzing. Her body started tingling all over and she felt goosebumps on her skin. It lasted less than a minute. Or so it seemed. Phuong felt the heavy weight of earrings on her earlobe - but there was something else. Her hand reached out inadvertedly to her breasts, her index finger brushing her nipple.

Oh no.

Both her nipples were pierced. With something that felt like... rings? It was a strange and unfamiliar feeling, but it also heightened her sensitivity. She felt her nipples harden under the touch of her fingers. Alarmed, her hands slid down to her navel, finding a barbell with beads, and then further down...

Damn you all, Phuong thought. Her clit was pierced. Multiple times. Just exploring it sent immediate tickling, tiny waves of unwanted pleasure through her spine. She withdrew her hands quickly. Then the Chamber started buzzing and whirring once more. Another round of goosebumps, another round of a strange out-of-body experience, as Phong felt the inner fabric of herself altered.

Then it stopped. The golden doors opened, the blinding lights of the stage turned right on her. She heard applause and the sound of another music jingle.

"And here she's back, our brave contestant Phuong," Frank's voice boomed. "Let's have a look at you!"

Phuong stepped forward, still a bit overwhelmed from what just had happened. Still coming to grips with how easily the machine had altered her and magically spun piercings out of the air which sat on her body as if they had been there for months. As for the second transformation...

"You are blushing. Is it hot in here?" asked the moderator maliciously.

"Wh... what? No!" Phuong stammered. She did feel hot. A strange flame had started to burn inside her. She felt flushed and her cheeks must have taken on a shade of crimson. The center of the flame inside her was easy to locate, it was... her left hand started to move automatically despite herself, and it took all of her willpower to stop it, before it vanished inside her pants.

"I must say I am a bit disappointed," Frank said loudly, in a fake attempt as if talking to himself. "I don't see a lot of jewellery on you." There were some jeers and jibes from the audience and the moderator turned to face the people hidden in the shadow behind the blinding lights. "That's right, we all know what that means, ey? Most of the jewellery must be hidden on her body!" Someone whistled. Others laughed. Phuong felt her face on fire and there was no chance to deny that her nipples had turned hard under her blouse, pressing against the thin fabric, probably showing off the contours of her new piercings. She immediatly remembered how the new piercings had intensified her sensitivity even before the second transformation had filled her with that lust for sex and the urge to touch her body...

Phuong bit her lip once more until she tasted blood. She would not fondle herself right here on stage. She would not give the audience of Frank that pleasure.

Phuong took her seat. She could make out some disappointed murmur from the audience. Frank seemed unfazed, though. He watched her with those wolfish eyes, as a predator assesses the prey.

Maybe this had been a grave mistake...

"Round Three!" Frank exclaimed. "What category do you choose?"
