Lin Jin woke up early in the morning at around five o'clock. It wasn't a natural awakening. Rather, he felt an unbearable itch all over his body in his dreams, accompanied by a slight stinging sensation.
"Ugh..." Lin Jin stared blankly at the ceiling. The itch on his body was not unbearable, and the stinging was also very mild. He had no idea why such minor discomfort had woken him up.
Speaking of which, why did he suddenly feel uncomfortable all over his body?
Lin Jin turned over and reached for his phone on the bedside table, only to be stunned.
What the f*ck! Why does my hand feel like it's shrunk several sizes?
Am I still dreaming?
Lin Jin scrutinized his own hand. The skin hadn't changed, but it was obvious that the hand was smaller than it was yesterday.
When he picked up his phone to compare, the difference was even more noticeable. Originally, Lin Jin could barely manage using his iPhone 6 with one hand, but now there was absolutely no possibility of that.
His thumb was now even shorter than the width of the phone.
Lin Jin looked dumbfoundedly at his shrunken hand. His hands were already smaller than the average male's, and now they had shrunk even more. They could now be described as delicately petite.
Suddenly it occurred to him, hadn't he completed yesterday's exercise task?
Although exercising for two hours a day for three days couldn't possibly have made Lin Jin lose weight or anything like that. Even if the three days of exercise had somehow slimmed him down, it was impossible for the very bones of his hand to shrink as well. Lin Jin's hands were originally quite slender, with not much flesh on them. Now that the bone structure had shrunk, the flesh on his hands had bunched up.
Like the chubby hands of an overweight person, or should he say, like pig's trotters?
Ah, f*ck!
Anyway, the shrunken palms were definitely the result of some task reward. The itching and slight pain he felt on his body might very well be the side effects of the Black Cat's nighttime body modifications on him.
Lin Jin got off the bed and stood in front of the mirror on his wardrobe door.
His clothes had originally been a perfect fit, with a round collar that just barely exposed his neck. Now, however, it revealed half of his collarbone.
Upon closer examination, it turned out his collarbone was rather nice-looking.
Even though he thought this, Lin Jin still felt like he had overlooked something.
What could it be?
He looked down at his pajama pants. He had bought them a size smaller, and they originally exposed his ankles. Now, they perfectly covered his entire legs. The fit was just right, actually.
The problem was... Lin Jin stood on his tiptoes and craned his neck, trying to get a look at his own bed.
Did I f*cking shrink? Is that it? Why can't I even see the bed when I stand on my tiptoes?
I was already just 1.65 meters tall. Don't tell me I'm going to be shorter than 1.6 meters now? And what's the deal with shrinking? If my roommates notice and ask, what am I going to say?
Lin Jin continued to be dumbfounded.
After a moment, he restrained his urge to vent and sighed, shaking his head as he walked toward the balcony.
The task reward was a feminization of the bones, right? But why did they even chop off my height?
"Lin Jin, morning." Lin Xin usually woke up early, and it seemed like he had just woken up too, looking entirely spiritless as he weakly soaked his towel in a basin.
"Morning." Yawning, Lin Jin turned on the faucet, emanating an air of utter despair.
Lin Xin glanced at Lin Jin, feeling that something about him seemed off today, but didn't think much of it. He washed his face, reviving his drowsy eyes a bit, then took another look at Lin Jin.
Something still felt off.
Lin Xin and Lin Jin were good friends who often saw each other. Lin Jin was terrible at video games but loved to sabotage him. He would frequently run over to Lin Xin's dorm to taunt him, so they basically saw each other every day.
"What are you looking at?" Lin Jin noticed Lin Xin's gaze and felt panicked, afraid that something had been noticed.
Lin Xin pondered for a moment and said, "You seem... shorter?"
"No, I've always been 1.7 meters" Lin Jin blurted out, talking nonsense.
Lin Xin had zero chance of believing such an obvious lie. After all, Lin Xin was a few centimeters shy of 1.7 meters himself, and Lin Jin now seemed even shorter than him by half a head.
In the past, the height difference between Lin Jin and Lin Xin was hardly noticeable. Moreover, Lin Jin, despite not being particularly tall, liked to go around comparing heights, trying to find someone shorter than him to mock.
However, up until now, Lin Jin had never encountered a classmate shorter than him to ridicule. At most, there were a few students in his class whose heights were similar to his, to the point where it was difficult to tell who was taller just by looking.
But now that Lin Jin had shrunk, he probably wouldn't even find students of similar height anymore.
"Lin Jin, it feels like you've changed a lot overnight" Lin Xin finished his morning routine but didn't leave. He leaned against the sink and turned to Lin Jin, "Were you wearing elevator shoes all this time? You seem to be half a head shorter than me now."
"Elevator shoes?" The thought flashed across Lin Jin's mind. Maybe he could indeed buy a pair of elevator shoes or inserts to hide his sudden decrease in height. However, he vehemently denied it, "Do I look like the kind of person who wears elevator shoes? You must not be fully awake, that's why you think I look shorter."
"No" Lin Xin shook his head, his face serious as he considered measuring their heights by hand, "It looks like your hands have also become smaller. It feels like you've shrunk all over, though it seems like you've put on some weight."
No sh*t, my skeleton shrunk but the flesh on my body didn't.
Originally, Lin Jin weighed 60 kg, and at a height of 1.65 meters, he looked fine. At least his stomach only had a slight bit of extra fat that was barely noticeable unless he sat down. But now? His skeleton had shrunk, yet he hadn't lost any weight.
Dodging Lin Xin's outstretched hand, Lin Jin looked visibly uncomfortable. He subconsciously touched his stomach, noticing that the extra fat was more evident. Strangely, it felt rather soft and comfortable to the touch.
But this didn't seem to be a good thing.
"Stop talking nonsense, I'm going back to my computer."
Finally done with his morning routine, Lin Jin gathered his toiletries and retreated into the bathroom. He stared at himself in the large mirror, realizing that his body fat seemed to have piled up somewhat. On the flip side, his proportions seemed a bit better. Just by looking, he could vaguely feel that his lower legs appeared longer, making his legs seem more attractive overall.
But the extra weight on his buttocks and stomach had also increased...
This can't continue! I need to lose weight! F*ck!
