Hello world, my name is Phill, doing the Magic Potion Challenge,

shouting out to Ninja for- No this doesn't make me feel better in any way.

In an abandoned house not far away from where I settled down, I was standing in an empty bucket that could fit my entire body if I would sit in it, holding another bucket, filled with healing potion to the brim, butt naked.

Should I write a last will before I do it? Yeah, it would be- Oh, fuck this, let's do this!

I tilted the bucket, pouring the stuff onto myself, holding my breath back.

Once the mold covering my body felt the potion, several tentacles started to grow all over me, going haywire, grabbing, and smashing around.

This is....Slightly uncomfortable.

Once things calmed down, something quite strange happened.

As if it responded to my thoughts, my body slowly started to shift. The tentacles shortened themselves, becoming muscle fibers, which were later covered by another layer of slightly whiter mold, acting as a skin replacement. At the end of my fingers, the tips of the bones remained, probably as a replacement for my nails.

"Well, this was unpleasant. Wait-I CAN TALK! FINALLY, I CAN FINALLY TALK!"

I laughed in joy, finally hearing my own voice. It was slightly deeper than I remembered it to be, but it was close enough for the one I had when I used to be a human.

"Oh, God, how I missed this. Mirror! Yes, I need a mirror. I need to inspect myself properly!"

Grabbing my bag, I took a hand mirror and looked at myself.

It was... strange.

My body was slightly green-colored as if chlorophyll was running through my veins. The skin was tightly stretched onto my newly gained muscles.

With the added mass, at least I had a normal body frame, albeit my arms and legs looked quite long.

As I inspected my body, I noticed that I didn't have a navel or genitals. It was...all smooth.

"Not important. Slight details can be fixed later. I just need some time."

I quickly moved to my head, inspecting my features.

"This is not quite right."

I kept most of my features, but they were distorted by my skull as if another person was wearing my face like a mask.

I had dark green hair made from thin tentacles, and in my eye sockets, two balls of green flames were burning vividly.

"Damn, I don't look like a human at all. So even after all that I need to keep wearing that bag as a mask. Man, I need to find a place where I can buy or get a cooler one, like a plague doctor's mask. That would certainly fit into the theme I am currently rocking here!"

Laughing at myself I dressed up.

Since I gained some muscles, the clothes that I used to wear didn't fit me at all, luckily for myself, I prepared for this eventuality and brought several clothes in different sizes.

I tried on several clothes, settling on a pair of brown pants and a white shirt. Lucky for me, the white coat still fit me perfectly.

As I packed my stuff away, I heard shouting coming from outside.
