"..." Having her first shower as a girl turned out to be even more embarra.s.sing and awkward for Elizabeth as she was having conflicting thoughts. Before her transformation, the previous Adrian hadn"t been an as.e.xual monster. Sure, he prioritized wasting his time in gaming, but like everyone else, he was affected by his male hormones as a growing teenager, and occasionally had thoughts of being together with a girl.He didn"t like the feelings as they distracted him from his entertainment, but given that they occurred naturally, he couldn"t do much about it. Now that he had turned into a girl, possessing a girls body, and having to clean her own female body… No matter how many times or different ways that statement changed, Elizabeth felt odd.
As she cleaned herself in the shower and took a more meaning inspection of her own body, even by her previous male standpoint, she concluded that she was definitely extremely attractive; at least to other guys she should be. But when looking at herself and handling her body, there was the conflict between not being s.e.xually interested, when her previous male hormones would have sparked to life a thousand times over, even if she only took a single look.
Notwithstanding all the weird happenings related to the nature of her transformation, this shower would have been troublesome as Elizabeth"s body was covered in muck and grime as the byproducts of her Inner Strength cultivation. As a result, the awkward nature of touching her new female body quickly went from embarra.s.sing to troublesome after spending minutes upon minutes trying to get the sticky black mixture, resembling oil and tar, off her body.
Fortunately, Elizabeth"s parents were stacked, thus, the bathroom in her house had permanent hot water. If that weren"t the case, she would have long since run out of hot water from all the time she spent scrubbing…
One hour… It took a whole hour for Elizabeth to clean off all that weird black excrement from her meditation and the event seemed to have traumatized her as she felt reluctant to go back and return to meditation. Alas, time waited for no one; even her, a soon-to-be time mage. She still had to complete the her first main quest, so she travelled back to her room. As she moved through her house though, Elizabeth took the time to check her [Status].

E.g. running with the function activated will boost Inner Strength Conversion to Speed and Endurance, while lifting weights will increase Strength and Endurance.
Current Effect: Depends on the activities and intensity of training.]
Elizabeth thought it to be weird for Inner Strength Conversion to be called a "skill," as it was just a part of the process for cultivation. Though, as she saw that it had a grade, it made her happy to know that she could probably improve this skill and make her training go by faster. Still, she had been planning to use the concepts of the conversion skill later, after improving the capacity of her Inner Strength.
So, she returned to her room. At the moment, she was naked as her only suitable clothes were her beginner armor set which she had left in the room before showering. Now that she came back, she naturally wouldn"t put on the stained and foul-smelling shirt she had on from before, but she also didn"t want to dirty her beginner armor set either.
She only had one set of clothes and didn"t want to be constantly washing them, so instead of immediately going back into meditation, Elizabeth made the drastic decision to… go outside. It hurt her soul just thinking about it, but the best solution at the moment was to just go out and buy more clothes. She really wanted to just keep ruining her old set of male clothes by meditating with them on, but P decided to give her a side quest upon thinking of leaving the house…
[Side Quest Alert!
Side Quest 2: Get More Clothes!
Difficulty: F
Objective One) Leave your Domain (house).
Objective Two) Buy more sets of clothes for your new female form.
Optional Objective 1) Buy at least seven sets of clothes.
Description: P has given you a quest to resolve your most immediate problem, as well as to get you accustomed to behaving less reclusively. You better learn to deal with others, both intelligent and unintelligent, quickly as your encounters will lead to more interactions throughout your ascension to power!
Deadline: 11H 59M 59S]
Elizabeth"s heart figuratively broke as her plan to ruin her old male clothes as she waited for a delivery service to get her more clothes became void. Even if she paid for the fastest service, part of her side quest involved her leaving the house, thus her plan essentially became worthless…
Even she found it hard to think back to the last time she left her house, and even after remembering that it was almost half a year ago, the reason for leaving the house only further made her depressed. It was actually to accompany her — his at the time — parents to a dinner when they last came.
She couldn"t even remember a time when she left the house on her own because it simply never happened. Growing up "home-schooled" and with a general hatred for the thought of interacting with others made her, at this very moment, fear having to leave the house. Before, even interacting with individuals was an ordeal, what was she to do now, when she had to leave the comfort of her "domain" and face the whole world?
Even worse was the fact that she was just fifteen, and with her antisocial personality the thought of possessing a driver"s license was laughable. Even if there were a myriad of cars stashed in the house"s garage, because of her not having a license the side quest became all the more dreadful. Even if she wanted to let her inner sociopath shine through and drive illegally, she had no clue how to drive in the first place, so that would only put her at risk.
After giving what seemed to be yet another sigh, not unlike one expected from a death-row inmate that had just found out the day of their execution, Elizabeth finished dressing herself up in her beginner armor set. She was a bit surprised by how elegant she looked after wearing the "armor set" to the point where she actually smiled naturally.
Next, she pulled up directions to the nearest shopping plaza on her phone and winced when she found out she needed to walk just over two miles. Two miles? That was practically the same amount of distance her previous self covered in a year! Furthermore, the two miles were just to get to the shopping plaza… After she was done picking out clothes there was still yet another two mile trek to go back home!
There was no point in crying now to waste both her time and energy, so upon saving the directions to the shopping plaza, Elizabeth left her house. For the first time in her life, she opened the gates to her home and then closed them for security, it was almost like she was a responsible adult…
Elizabeth cursed a dozen curses throughout the journey to the shopping plaza, cursing her fate of having to walk for so long, cursing the sun for being so overbearingly hot, cursing the people that would not stop staring at her so obviously. It was really was a nerve-wracking experience for her as the sheer number of people that stopped to turn and look her direction constantly diminished her barely-existent self esteem.
Fortunately, she didn"t have much experience travelling by her lonesome before the transformation, as now she couldn"t differentiate the various looks people gave her from the one in her imagination of disapproval and disgust. It was good because half the looks she received either fell into the categories of praise… or l.u.s.t…
At least she had the good fortune of leaving when the sun was still up, as she surely would have left the house at night if the quest called for it. And given the number of salacious glances thrown her way, it was hard to imagine her surviving in the nightlife environment.
Eventually, Elizabeth managed to reach the shopping plaza and with her arrival came even more conflicting emotions. On one hand she was glad that the journey hadn"t crippled her as she had envisioned. But on the other hand, there was an endless horde of people shopping all around her, which threatened to cross her bottom line with regards to human interaction.
It was only the fear of missing the deadline of her side quest that drove Elizabeth to suppressing the screams of her intuition. She walked into the crowd of people and did her best to keep her mind blank of unnecessary thoughts as she moved to a clothing store she had picked before embarking of this most perilous journey.
