Melina (Elden Ring)

Sue me, the game is great fun and the most recent one I played in memory. That and one of the characters would work well as template for my test run of the machine.

One use of the search bar function got me who I was looking and for and I swiftly loaded up the preset into my profile. I glanced at the summary of my profile to see how it looked; though I remembered that the machine wouldn't automatically change my gender if I chose a character of the opposite gender.

A skimmed through the summary of changes and hummed to myself. So far, it was what I expected from using Melina as the template... though I found some amusement in this; given that the Melina in the game was a spectral girl that only appeared at certain points of game whenever you rested at a site of grace. Here, she could be made flesh and blood as any other mortal person with incredible ease. I chuckled and went make some adjustments of my own.

While I preferred to keep the changes simple and not too ****, I decided to increase the bust size to something more sizable, more comparable to how most animes depict Cup Size C. I also took the time to shape the body a bit more, adding some cushion to the rear and generally making things curvy; didn't forget to also make the left eye normal too. Those done, I paused on the genitals and put my hands to my chin - as it stood, I could leave it be but... I was sure I spent a couple minutes before I decided to go full package with both a vagina and penis plus testicles. With all of that done (and my gender swapped to Female), I skimmed again through the summary of changes.

I entered the changes and the machine whirred and hummed to life. The tanning bed thing hissed as the cover unlatched and swung open, the screen now filled with a prompt for the user to enter the pod. I took good look and breathed in some air as I contemplated everything. For all I know, this could be fever dream and I'll wake up the next day with no recollection, like how every dream goes. Or maybe the machine might mess up and either kill me or worse. But, again, my parents didn't raise no coward and I slipped inside the pod.

However, as the pod sealed itself and the machine began its work, I realized that I was still in my outdoor clothing. And my boots caked in dried mud were still on me. I let out a curse before I felt my consciousness drift away, the last thing I heard was the machine loudly hum, click, and whir.

...

I woke up to the sound of the pod unsealing. I blearily blinked my eyes as I sat up now that the hatch wasn't in the way, and let out a yawn. When I yawned, however, I paused when a feminine sound came out of my mouth. Then I looked at my hands, arms, and kicked off my boots to see my feet (albeit covered in socks). It was then I felt a weight on my chest and something against it when I realized that yes, I have boobs now and damnit I can feel my nipples chafe against the fabric. My clothes... kind of still fit me but I can tell they were a bit loose in some parts, and bit tight in others. I muttered some words and unzipped my jacket and slipped off my shirt, baring my cup size C chest to the world.

"Damn these things are large," I said but with Melina's young and soft voice. I let out a chuckle at how uncharacteristic it was to hear Melina's voice say that, except it was me who said it even though I had effectively Melina's body. I sat there as I took in the changes before something came up that drew my attention.
