It's been two and a half days since the transformation sped up, Martin quickly grew to around 8 feet in height and his stomach and chest were covered in white fur, his body weight increased but gotten slower in the past day though he could still feel his growing weight, he also had to hunt animals to satiate his hunger as four plates weren't sufficient anymore, his canines almost fully turned into tusk and his stomach could probably fit a fully grown ratman or two and his body had put on some muscle but not by much, his fur stopped growing thicker but it started to grow longer, this and the speed of the transformation is why he has felt so hot for almost three days that he either wore no cloths or get heatstroke during the day, though he was aware that people think nothing happened to him and is clothed he still feels awkward talking to people naked, though he has felt less hot lately.
Martin woke up from his sleep, he was sleeping on the floor because his weight would break the bed and he's too big for it any way, he got up and looked at himself through the mirror "Hey Anris, how far into the change am I?" Martin asked, his voice was now deeper and more growl-like 'Well you only got a few hours left until it's complete.' Anris answered, Martin then lifted his belly a little "this has gotten heavy." Martin muttered, he then tried on his underwear to see if he could fit and he couldn't fit his tail through the tail hole anymore, he tried on the pants and same result his butt was halfway showing and he felt a little embarrassed but he knew why the tail hole didn't grow and it was because he didn't wear them when he could so that way they stretch.
'Hey I got a idea, why don't you set off on a adventure.' Anris suggested "What gave you that idea?" Martin asked 'well that adventurer came back from an adventure that lasted two years so I think you should do the same, plus it'll help you remove the curse faster.' Anris said, Martin scratched his chin "Ok, I'll go on one." Martin said, he tried on a shirt but it couldn't cover his belly so he took it off and went out.
*2 hours later*
After getting gear and noticing the guild, Martin left town and went on his way down the road, he looked towards the place he woke up in and felt a bit nostalgic, but he kept on going until he was hungry, he hunted a Direwolf and after his stomach begun to growl intensely he built a campfire near a source of water and begun to start the flame with a pair of Shadow Hands as he skinned the wolf "Those videos really did help." Martin chuckled at his joke and begun to cook the wolf.
*1 hour later*
Martin ate the Wolf he felt tired and decided to sleep off a full stomach, After a few hours of sleep Martin woke up yawning 'So how's the new rat-orc body feel.' Anris said Martin looked at his body through the water reflection, his white fur had reached his neck and shoulder, his teeth fully turned into tusk, and he was much bigger as he was 9' 6" in height seemed to weigh around 699 pounds, "It's much bulkier then I'm used to, is this what is like to be huge?" Martin wondered as he picked at his new tusk 'Well your going to have to get used to it cause you might be like that for a while.' Anris said, Martin then lifted his stomach "Yeah, especially with this big stomach, I'm still kinda mad about being a fat rat, but being a fatter rat might cause problems." Martin said.
'Yeah, how are you going to go through door ways, but there was a few glitch's in the program that I used to keep your mind in check and keep up the illusion.' Anris said "Ok, so what's the glitch?" Martin asked as he packed up his gear 'Well the first one is that you might feel some urges to play with your stomach, second is that reflective surfaces will reveal the illusion, and the last one made you into a glutton.' Anris said "Well I can handle the urges just fine, I just need to avoid reflective surfaces and I can keep hold of myself around delicious food." Martin said unknowingly drooling at the thought of food 'well I don't think you get it, these are powerful urges that aren't in ratmen at all, the gluttony sure, but you playing with your stomach is not something ratmen ever do, even the weirdest ones don't do that.' Anris said.
"Well that's a big problem." Martin said 'it will best if you head west to the Northern Demon country, that's where beast-orcs reside.' Anris said "Well you know what they say, keep your friends close" Martin said 'And keep your enemies closer.' Anris finished.
"So how far west do I have to go to get to the border?" Martin asked 'it's about 49 miles to the border and another 3 to get to the nearest village, you'll reach there in a few days.' Anris said, Martin sighed loudly "Man it would be much faster with a car." Martin complained 'Well that's one of the negatives of a fantasy world, you gotten what you humans desire.' Arris said "wait what do you mean, are there more people that reincarnated here?" Martin asked with his tail slowly wagging back and forth 'Yeah, I heard from ten other guides that they have reincarnates on Caldona, actually you met two of them, Rasuo and Giblet are reincarnates but they don't know that your one yet.' Anris said "Man, I didn't know that they were reincarnates!" Martin exclaimed 'Actually this is their 20th life, I didn't know until last night, they are good.' Anris stated "Well it's a good thing I'm not alone on this planet." Martin muttered as he drew an arrow pointing west into the ground with a stick.
'Why are you doing that?' Anris asked "So that way they know where I went." Martin answered 'but why don't you use a messenger stone, that stone the shopkeeper gave you.' Anris said "Oh right, I forgot!" Martin said, he reached into his back pocket and pulled out a small blue stone with a purple mark, he then rubbed his thumb against the mark, the mark begun to glow "Hey Rasuo, Giblet how's the mission going, you should be back at town by the time this message is made this but you should join me on an adventure I'm on just follow the road that leads out the village and follow the arrow that points west, I'll wait for you at a village if there is one west, so when your ready, come find me." Martin said, after he moved his thumb the stone glowed and the light changed into a bird shape and flew away "let's hope there is a village." Martin said as he headed west 'we'll there is a village near the border so you have good intuition.' Anris said "What are you talking about I'm just following my gut!" Martin joked as he slapped his stomach.
