The Tycoon's Odyssey

CRUNG!

With a metallic hum, the pod opened, releasing a burst of gases.

As the thick vapors swirled and danced around the pod, a presence of a shadow began to take form in the haze. Slowly, a figure materialized, revealing a figure that didn't seem to belong to a human at all.

The body, sculpted to perfection as if chiselled by the gods themselves, gilded forward, each movement imbued with an ethereal grace.

Evan's breath was caught in his throat as he beheld the being—flawless skin and sinewy muscle, radiating an aura of divine beauty that shimmered in the metallic reflection of the pod.

[Oo! Sir, you look so hot, like an immortal descending the world,] Aurora chimed, her voice bewildered.

CLAP! CLAP!

Then like a miracle, suddenly, the objects in the room started moving on their own and creating clapping sounds that echoed through the air.

Evan wasn't surprised by this scene and was aware that this was the result of mysterious rewards he had obtained after creating the molecular printer.

Aurora could now use particular sound frequencies to possess a machine and command them at a structural and molecular level to work.

However, this ability only worked on non-living materials.

[Now do you believe me, Aurora? Didn't I tell you that the next time Suri sees him, she won't be able to help but throw herself at him? Not just Suri—even boys would start questioning their preferences after seeing him.]

The system's arrogant words jolted Evan from his stupor and his lips twitched, wondering what kind of mischief these two were cooking this time.

The vapor clung to the figure, enhancing its otherworldly charm, a stark contrast to the filth inside the pod.

"It seems this thing will be unstable," Evan muttered. The pod was filled with some slimy, dark substance, yet none of them touched his skin.

With each step, his figure drew closer.

Instinctively, Evan felt a sense of reverence, and as he stepped up, he felt his heart pounding in his chest harder than ever.

As he took in the scene, his thoughts raced, struggling to comprehend the enormity of what was happening. The room, once filled with discomforting substances, now seemed charged with a palpable energy.

His figure stopped before the shiny walls and as the vapors began to dissipate, Evan's gaze shifted to his own reflection in the cracked mirror nearby.

The sight that met his eyes startled him.

Instead of his usual face with his deep black eyes, he found a striking visage staring back at him.

An angular cheekbones, a strong jawline, and eyes that gleamed with a luminous bluish hue, glowing faintly in the dim light. It was a face of almost celestial beauty, so handsome that it made him question his very identity.

"What in the world…" he whispered, feeling a mixture of awe and confusion wash over him. The reflection seemed foreign, like a stranger wearing his skin. This wasn't just a minor change; it was a transformation that redefined him.

"This…" he stammered, still reeling from the sight. The words hung in the air, heavy with meaning.

"This is… vexing," he muttered, running a hand over his new features and over the new layer of skin while pulling it.

The sensation felt alien yet invigorating.

He had never disliked his appearance and even considered himself to be handsome, but this new face looked so perfect that he didn't feel like himself. Rather he felt as if he had taken on a new identity, one that was difficult to accept.

As he adjusted to his newfound appearance, a rush of adrenaline surged through him. He glanced around the room, and his vision sharpened, transforming the blurry outlines into crisp details, as if a veil had been lifted, revealing the true essence of everything around him.

Focusing intently, he concentrated on a nearby wall, and to his astonishment, his vision zoomed in on the intricate patterns of dirt and grime, each fleck of debris sharply defined.

"Whaaattt!" he exclaimed in shock, his eyes widening in disbelief. The world around him had shifted in ways he couldn't comprehend, and he felt an overwhelming power coursing within him, waiting to be unleashed.

Taking a deep breath, he let the awe settle as he gathered his thoughts. "What have I become?"

It was then that he remembered the system notification and opened it.

Evan noticed a new heading under his name, mentioning species that brought his attention.

This, along with the earlier notification, signified a profound change, now tied to the cosmos. Below the skills there was a tab that showcased 'Special Abilities,' but upon clicking it it revealed nothing.

[As per the stats, you have to remember that the system has restructured the stats after upgrading and 1 is the normal value of humans so currently the user is currently more than 20 times stronger than humans.]

"What is this cosmic human? Is this some sort of species of space-dwelling human?"

Just as he thought, as if in response, a virtual screen started to materialize before him, displaying new information.
