Martin woke up out of bed feeling tired and a little hungry, He was about to put his shirt on he noticed something in the mirror, He ignored it for a second but he changed his mind almost instantly, he walked over to the mirror and he noticed that his stomach barely shrank to how it was yesterday, he also noticed that other parts of his body were bigger in a way, "Did I gain weight?" Martin wondered 'This is what I was talking about yesterday.' Anris said "what does that mean?" Martin asked 'Well, in my classes Curse Detection wasn't my strong suit, but if I were to retake them I would have gotten better grades' Anris said 'but being said, normally ratmen or in fact any life form don't gain weight fast overnight, but a teensy little fact that I forgot, it kinda involves your age.' Anris added "What is it" Martin said raising an eyebrow 'Well like I said Curse detection wasn't my forte, but your soul has a curse set by the Demon Emperors top mages, it's a powerful curse that few can lift.' Anris said in an unusually serious tone.
this begun to worry Martin a bit "What is this curse?" Martin asked while putting on a shirt he bought yesterday 'Well I had to do a bit of digging and it's one of the most interesting curses I've seen before, It's called The Curse of Orcs' Anris said "So what is this Curse of Orcs?" Martin asked 'Well there's a race of beings that are similar to Beast-men but also similar to Orcs, sort of an in between that only inhabit only two dozen worlds, their called Beast-orcs and well' The sound of head scratching was heard 'In your case your slowly turning into a rat-orc as you age.' Anris said with a bit of worry and a bit of anger "What do you mean I'm turning into a rat-orc?" Martin said 'well first take a closer look at your self!' Anris said, when Martin took a look at himself in the mirror again he noticed a few things other then that he was fatter, his fur seemed to be a little bit thicker, some of his teeth seemed to have gotten bigger, he's gotten a little taller and his hands, feet, and tail were a little bigger, his shirt also failed to cover his stomach below the bellybutton, "So how long do I have before the change is complete?" Martin asked 'Well, all I can do is make people perceive that nothing happened to your body and that nothing happens to your mind and keep your cloths intact but the rest is up to you." Anris said "ok ok, but how long do I have?" Martin asked again 'The curse was supposed to activate when the victim turns 15 years of age but since your body's age is that age then you got about maybe 4 weeks at best and at worst just about 1 week.' Anris said in a stressed tone.
"So how do we know the exact amount of time I have?" Martin asked 'Well, based on how far you gotten into the transformation, about 6 more days until you fully turn into a bigger, fatter, and gluttonous rat-orc.' Anris said, Martin sat on his bed pinching his forehead 'But there are some good news, you'll turn back to normal once the curse is lifted.' Anris said "ok then, how do we remove the curse?" Martin asked 'Well it's not going to be easy, only high ranking mages in the Demon Emperors army can do that, but the fastest way to remove it is to have the one who casted the curse onto you remove it, and I doubt they would listen to you as you are now, a low-class adventurer.' Anris explained.
*The next day*
Martin came back from a monster hunting job while Rasuo and Giblet just left to do a guard job for two weeks, After he got the 700 Debi from his client he went back to the inn to drop off his gear.
When Martin entered his room he took a look at himself through the mirror, his fur gotten a little thicker and if he payed close enough attention, the tips of his bottom canines were sticking out, there was also a white spot of fur on his bellybutton, his body also got a little fatter and his hands grew in size a little and his feet grew as well.
"Day 2 of this little thing and I hate this already, are you sure this little mental shield would work?" Martin said 'Trust me, this is easy for my stuff to work on.' Anris said "You know now that I think about it , how are you watching me?" Martin asked 'Well, I'm using a computer, well more like a beast of a computer.' Anris answered "Wait, a computer, divine beings have those?" Martin asked 'Well yeah, that's how gods control the billions of souls per second.' Anris said "good point." Martin muttered, Martins stomach begun to growl loudly.
*that night*
Martin could barely sleep as he felt weird, he got up out of bed and turned on the lamp, he noticed something weird, his transformation was going faster to the point to were he can see it, his body then felt hot and his jaw was in pain, he then had to take off his pants as he was starting to sweat from heat, he looked at the mirror "Hey Anris is there a reason why I feel so hot." Martin asked in between labored breaths 'Well that means the change is speeding up, you might feel a little hot but your fine just don't wear any cloths in the day or you might get heatstroke, don't worry you'll be clothed in other peoples perspectives.' Anris said, Martins bottom canines were completely visible to him and his body was starting to grow in size fast enough to be obvious and his body also gotten fatter to also an obvious rate, the white spot on his stomach also grew rapidly "Geez how big am I going to get!?" Martin wondered 'Well the orcs humans perceive on Earth were a bit small then how big they actually are.' Anris said , Martin gulped saliva when he heard this.
