More Changes!

The image of ruby’ s wrinkled face lingered in MM's mind like an unwanted souvenir, prompting another wave nausea mixed with annoyance .

He realized he hadn't considered the social implications of his transformation before diving headfirst into this whole "reality-bending" thing - it wasn‘t just about physical changes, but also how those alterations affected interactions with others. He craved that attention again – not from some grandmotherly figure who saw him as a replacement for long gone grandchildren; he wanted someone closer to his own age, preferably younger and with less experience in the art of being creepily inappropriate.

Names popped into mind: Allison - smart, witty but always out-of reach; Danielle – bubbly energy that had drawn MM like moth flame. Melissa – a wild card who'd kept him guessing for months before disappearing without explanation; Savannah... she was something else entirely, with eyes full of secrets and promises whispered on moonlit nights.

Perhaps it wasn’t about any one particular woman, but the feeling itself: being desired by someone worthy of his own newfound charm. A thrill course through MM's veins – a dangerous cocktail that fueled both hope for connection and fear at what might happen if he allowed himself to get lost in this new world of possibilities.

MM snapped several quick selfies, scrutinizing each one with an almost clinical eye. His jawline was chiseled perfection; eyes sparkled like sapphires reflecting some hidden inner light; even his smile seemed crafted by a master sculptor.

But then he paused – a wave of self-consciousness washing over him as the image in screen didn't quite align expectations. Sure, face looked breathtakingly handsome but beneath it all remained familiar lanky frame; scrawny limbs and slight paunch that betrayed years spent hunched at desk, dreaming instead working on physique.

He could easily change his body too – reshape muscles to perfection with a simple wish; sculpt lean lines of athleticism onto this existing framework. But for now, he decided to focus solely face value; let the world be dazzled by what was already there and see how far that would take him.

With newfound confidence (and maybe just slight desperation), MM uploaded selfie – no abs on display, no weird poses - to his social media account. He captioned it simply: "New look. Same me." Then waited, heart pounding like drum solo as notifications began trickling in...

A notification pinged, jolting MM out his reverie – a friend request from Danielle. His breath caught; it was like seeing ghost of past loves rise again to haunt him with their familiar allure and long-dormant feelings.

He hadn't thought about her much since back then, but the name alone sent a jolt through memory lane: blonde bombshell, anime fanatic who’d once been inseparable from his best friend. He had wished to fuck her but never traversed the friendzone boundary set by default from Danielle dating his friend.

But now here it was - Danielle's familiar face staring back at him, yet somehow different: softer around the edges; a hint of weariness beneath those usually bright eyes, and her once perky chest sagged with weight unseen by his adolescent gaze.

His mind raced – what was she doing reaching out after all this time? Was it genuine curiosity about his transformation or something more sinister lurking behind that virtual smile?

MM found a video which sent chills down his spine. He watched as Danielle poured tears onto the screen, confessing to a broken marriage riddled with **** while claiming she deserved it. A part of him felt sympathy for her pain – she was clearly struggling; but another voice whispered in his ear, reminding him about how much fun they used to have together before life got serious. But he also remembered how she cheated on his friend and that's why they split up.

Now he had an opportunity: someone **** and seeking solace. Was this just coincidence, or a chance encounter orchestrated by some unseen ****?

The message popped up almost immediately, a stark white notification against his dark screen:

"Hey MM!
