Chapter 7 - Finally we learn what George looks like.

"Huh, Fred, I have got to say. While I knew you could potentially be that vicious, that was still quite terrifying. Sniping 5 people down like that, then stabbing another 3 in the back. Just terrifying."

"HA! INDEED, I, THE ALMIGHTY FRED, AM THAT AMAZING!"

[Ep + 0.2]

"Yes, indeed. AND I, The unstoppable George, am also quite amazing. You can clearly see my amazingness in the way that even after being stopped, I could still release such a terrifying person on my opponents."

"HAH ahha haha" mixed laughter from both George and Fred.

[Ep + 0.03]

"It is interesting though. I did get an adrenaline rush, so I suppose I was excited. However, as I didn't feel much happiness or joy, and only really fear, I fail to see how I could have been excited. Unless of course, it was the fact that by looking back at the memory, I can remember it in joy." Analyzed George.

"Well, I'll just drop you off at your place George, catch you later!"

"Yeah, see you later Fred! I would prefer not to be caught though!"

"What? Anyway, yeah, bye!"

"Bye!"

A few hours later...

George looks into his mirror at his house. In one glance he can see how his eyes are greenish with a brown circle around his pupils, with those little lines running throughout them. There are slightly dark circles underneath his eyes', but not too dark, and really next to his nose. His face is a tanned white, lighter more often than darker, with a small amount of acne dotted around his face. There are a few moles, with two distinct ones on the right side of his face, and 3 more in a line where his left eyebrow is. His eyebrows themselves are fairly thick, and are the same colour as his hair. On that note, his hair is a dark blond, with some brown strands, and some blondish strands.

There is a very small amount of hair on his upper lip, and chin, which is obviously blond, and so, not very easy to see.

The rest of his body is slightly weak looking. No toned muscles(Which isn't to say he's weak, he just doesn't work out regularly). Naturally, he is fully clothed as he prefers others not being able to see his body over his dislike of touching clothes. Except of course for one sleeve of his, which has been pulled up so that he can get a better look at the bruise that has appeared after he got shot in airsoft. There is a light spread of acne on his upper arm as well.

The airsoft bruise is a light pink with, a slight reddish tint. No obvious bleeding. About 2 cm in diameter.

"Well, that looks better than I thought it would, when I compared it to the pain I felt earlier. Hopefully, it heals soon enough. "

[For 5 Ep, this bruise that the host has suffered from can be healed.]

"Wait, you can heal things?! Actually, why am I surprised, you can change the very way in which my body and brain works, of course, you can heal things."

"Well, I am good for now. I don't really need to have my bruise healed."

"Wait, can you heal my acne, permanently?"

[Acne is caused by your skin trying to expel excess oils. As the host currently has {Sweat secretion: Medium to high}, the host will have to spend 1500 Ep to change how the sweat glands over the entire host's body work. A part of this is also to heal over any skin damage, so that the sweat glands can be properly changed without damaging the host's body even further. At the host's current skin strength, 300 Ep is needed to make the host's skin as good as new, as a part of the 1500 Ep cost mentioned earlier.]

"Huh. That's cool. How much Ep do I have again?"

[The host has 456.039 Ep]

Wow. I sure have collected a lot. Nearly enough to actually buy something substantial.

"Say, system, how much would it cost to upgrade my attention span again? Probably should keep going down that path, now that I have started it."

[4000 Ep for ten more minutes of not being distracted by internal thoughts.]

"Ummm, that is... quite an increase in cost. Mind explaining?"

[Last time the host spent 150.07 Ep on balancing out the host's brain. This was cheap as it merely meant combining a few neurons together, and making it slightly more easy to use and access for the host.]

[It is now far more expensive due to the fact that increasing the number of neurons used, and increasing the speed of each individual neuron, will each cost quite a bit of Ep when compared to just moving them around a little, and combining a few.]

"Alright, fine, that makes sense. Still annoying though."

"Then just spend all of that Ep on changing my sweat glands as previously talked about. "

[Spending 390 Ep on changing the host's sweat glands. Spending 66.039 Ep on healing skin that has to be healed so the host's body isn't damaged due to this process.]

"ARRAHhahharasaa"!!"!!!!" "WHY IS THIS SO PAINFUL!!!"

[The host's skin is a major organ. It also has the highest concentration of pain cells in the entire host's body. Naturally, this would cause a lot of pain.]

"FINE, makes sense!!" "AH, wait, is it already over?"

[Yes. The host's skin will now secrete less sweat at random times, and only at actually useful moments in time. About 1/4 of the host's scars are turned back into 'normal skin'. ]

[Ep + 0.8]

"Ah, yeah, honestly a lot more painful than I was expecting."

"Yeah, quick question, why did you do this, instead of upgrading, let's say, your coordination?" G_3 asked.

"Simple enough, I don't have anywhere near enough points to actually do anything useful for my body, like improving my life span, or making myself more physically adept. And I am not all that physically active, so spending Ep on coordination would have been useless to me in daily life. So instead, I decided to fix a pet peeve of mine that I have always had." replied G_0

"And it isn't as if this won't help me out in any way. By decreasing the amount of acne I get, less open 'wounds' will be left on my body, meaning less white cells have to be used up defending against invading bacteria at those locations. So my body can save them up for when it really matters, while also saving energy and resources!" said G_0 with finality.
