Oh My, No.

John felt bad the instant after he pulled the trigger. Not because he was worried, but because his first thought was, I wonder if the level 4 changes are as instant as the level 1 shots from before?

The blast of leafy green energy left him blinded for a few moments, even though he was trying to block his vision as much as he could while making sure he was aimed at Alex properly. As his vision cleared, he saw Alex where she was, looking down at herself expectantly, just as thin and nerdy as before.

John took a brief moment to wonder if the Bimbo Ray worked properly, since his friend was looking just as normal as before when she started to change.

Alex had been looking down on herself with an excited expectation, her hands looking ready to reach up and cup her chest as it starting swelling. But, now she started to feel something creep through her body. Instead of feeling flushed with newfound vitality as she should have filled out.

All she felt was her strength leaving her.

Looking closer, Alex noticed that her body was starting to look more and more pale by the second, her already light skin tone going from 'indoor nerd' to 'sickly pale' as small splotches appeared on her arms. The muscles on her arms also started to wither, her thin, svelt form starting to hollow out. Her eyes filled with terror as she felt what energy she had in her start to drain away faster and faster.

John looked on in growing horror as his friend started to look more and more gaunt. Her muscles eroding away faster by the second, making her skin start to hang loose for a few moments before it began to tighten on her thinning frame. His already lightweight little friend was becoming more and more out of a horror game as the seconds ticked by as John watched on in horrified disbelief. He took a moment to look down at the ray gun in his hand. What had he hit her with?

His eyes were ripped back to Alex as she started to scream.

Or at least, attempted to.

What came out of her mouth was more like a high pitched animal's screech, her throat tightening as she held her hair in her hands as her golden locks were cascading off her head as she started to shake. Her scream got higher and higher until it disappeared as she took in the changes ravaging her body.

Somehow, the first thing that popped into John's head was that she was looking more and more like a haunted zombie or ghoul than anything.

Where his friend once stood, a small, elfin blonde fellow nerd, a gaunt and pale ghoul stood there, shaking as her arms feebly wrapped around herself as she tried to hold herself as she shook. Her legs finally gave out and she fell sideways, thankfully towards his bed. At least she'd land more on something soft than hitting a wall or bookshelf. John was pretty sure she'd break something from sitting down too hard.

The sound of Alex's knees hitting the floor shook John from his stunned silence. "Alex! Are you Okay?!"

She couldn't respond as she lay there, slumped against the side of his bed.

John stepped over the mess on the floor and reached for Alex's shoulder. She felt so small and frail, like a strong wind would blow her to dust.

John had to do something, so he did the only thing he could think of, first he picked up his friend, gathering her in his arms. While John definitely was not a shining example of strength, Alex felt so light that it was easy for him to just pick up his frail friend and lay her down on his bed properly. "I'm going to fix this, Don't worry." He said more to himself as he tried to keep himself from panicking.

That gun had done this.

What the fuck had Alex given him that could cause this? This was the complete antithesis of everything he thought the Bimbo Ray stood for.

John took a deep breath and went over to where Alex had been looking through things. These cartridges had instruction manuals, he just needed to find the two that Alex had grabbed and then see if he could figure out what the fuck caused this nightmare fuel to happen.

No no no no no no no. NO!

This was NOT how it was supposed to go!

Alex felt herself being lifted up after she collapsed. Unfortunately for Alex, the only part of the cartridges that worked as intended were the mental parts. As she felt her body wasting away before her very eyes, her already slim figure turning downright skeletal, her mind accelerated.

As she lay on John's bed as he looked around the room, Alex was trapped in her own body. She couldn't do anything more than just hug herself, shuddering there on John's bed. Not even enough strength to move her head and shift her gaze.

She didn't feel any smarter, new ideas weren't coming to her, no new mysteries of the universe unraveling in her mind. Alex realized that this was the difference in roleplaying games between "Intelligence" and "Wisdom." She's not going to suddenly learn new info or come up with new angles of analysis. It'll just become increasingly easy to absorb and retain information, with probably a more minor ability to apply that knowledge, as she'll have comparatively more time to process information. Like the opposite of a bimbo, who can't remember much of anything besides sex.

A fun thing to think about as her body was now pretty much the complete opposite of a bimbo as possible.

Which sparked the realization of what might have gone wrong in the first place. The mutation might have reversed the Ray's turning her more into a sexy elf into making her the mirror opposite of that, physically at least.

A frustrating development to say the least.

Hopefully John could figure something out to help her at least not look like she should be hanging out in a halloween store display without turning her into a braindead moron. Or something much worse. Alex thought about all the potential danger that these cartridges could hold inside them.

On the plus side, this meant the Bimbo Ray would be perfect to enact some more creative tortures on the assholes who'd wronged her in her life.

But first she'd have to see if she'd even make it out of this as herself.

John finally found the two instruction manuals for the two cartridges Alex had handed to him.

The first one, The Erotic Elf Energizer definitely didn't have anything unusual in it. Seemed to be just a normal physical change modifier, at least to his eyes. Not too surprising either, since he knew Alex's personal favoritism for elves.

The second cartridge. That was the odd one out in this equation. John read through it thoroughly, just to make sure he could see what might have gone wrong.

The Master Multiplier. This is for every enterprising Master just starting out on their way to dominating their life and helping them keep their stable of bimbos in line. Something to help keep every Bimbo Ray owner firmly in the Master's seat.

(Modifier)

All mental changes are inverted at reduced effectiveness. Instead of promoting "girly" ideas and interests, this will inspire a more naturally confident and controlling demeanor in the target.

Level 1: No change

Level 2: IQ gain of 5-10 points.

Level 3: IQ gain of 10-15 points.

Level 4: IQ gain of 15-20 points.

Level 5: IQ gain of 25-30 points.

The artificially created addictive effect of the Bimbo Ray is transferred to the cum of the target, creating increasingly strong addictive effect in any who ingest said cum. Any addiction based on feelings of euphoria from rush of enhancements is still applicable.

WARNING: This Modifier is expected to be used in conjunction with various other Upgrades or Modifiers. The feminizing effects are not effected in any way.

WARNING: Do not use on a target that is currently female. This creates an increasing chance of unforeseen side effects based on the level of charge.

John figured that that last line was probably the part that Alex had decided to take a gamble on. While the level 1 or 2 mutations were probably considerably more minor, Alex had asked for level 4.

Which apparently made her into a ghoul.

Alex had always been a little more daring than he had in D&D, but never this level of reckless. Had his earlier two blasts at level 1 made her less cautious?

Either way, John needed to fix this. He pressed the little release on the side of the Bimbo Ray and the two cartridges popped free from their snug locks in the gun. John locked the Erotic Elf Energizer back into place, since if it was reversed, then maybe hitting her with at least a blast of level 4 without the Master Multiplier might bring her back to close to normal.

Or at least John hoped as he put the black cartridge down on his desk.

He didn't want to just bimbify his friend though, so just blasting her with this would probably wipe most of her mind out.

Which is the whole reason they went to that mysterious store and bought all these cartridges in the first place.

John started looking through the piles of cartridges and their instruction manuals. He needed to find something to put with the Elf upgrade to try and keep his friend.

A small thought of temptation surfaced in the back of his mind. I can hit her with whatever I want. I can make her be whatever I want her to be and she couldn't say no to me. I could experiment as much as I want on her right now...

John shook his head as thoughts swirled around his mind and grabbed a cartridge.
