Usually, whenever I got recommended things by people, I never liked them. I'm a 17 year old guy with a good muscular build at 160 lbs and a decent friend group. Why would I need a salad spinner that doubles as a workout device? Then again, the few times I do get recommended something good, there's always a unique story to tell afterwards.
I was surfing the app store, when I stumbled upon a section of apps in my recommended tab, labeled "Convenience." It was things like sreenshot apps, Uber ripoffs, and a whole host of other things. The one app that caught my interest, though, was something called a "Universe Remote". From the app's description, it appeared to be one of those apps that acts as a TV remote for any TV. Pretty cool app. I decided to get it, because it would be much easier to have an app on my phone than search the house for my remote.
It took a while to download, but when it did, I opened it to prompt a screen with an arrow, and a message that said, "Aim Phone at Device, then tap screen." So I aimed it as my TV, a big flat screen, and pressed the phone's screen. A small loading sign appeared for a brief moment, then a recreation of a TV remote popped up on screen. Surprisingly enough, it functioned properly, and actually was able to interact with my TV.
I spent the next hour just watching TV, testing out the remote. But then I had to pee. I placed my phone in my back pocket and went to the bathroom, unaware that I had hit a "reset remote" button on the app, which then aimed the arrow at me. After a quick peek break, I plopped back down on my couch, pressing the screen on my phone. It activated, alligning the app to me (but I wouldn't realize this for a few more minutes). I pulled the phone out of my pocket, and the UI looked a bit different. I thought nothing of it, and continued to watch my shows.
About another hour later, I got bored, and took out my phone and hit the "guide" button to find something else. Nothing happened. At the time, I thought that it just was one of the buttons that wasn't compatible with my TV. So I hit the big channel button to change the channel instead. That didn't work either. So I hit it some more. It still didn't work. Holding the putting down for a good 5 seconds did nothing either. Maybe I just had to reconfigure it? Eh, I'd do that later. For now, I heaved myself off the couch, scratched my gut, and looked for the old remote.
Wait... My gut?
Looking down, I saw something I shouldn't have: what was once my formerly sexy, toned, and muscular body was now that of a heavily obese man. My gut stuck out a good 8 inches, and my man tits stuck out about 6 inches each. Rotating my head around as best as I could, I also saw a more than plump ass in the place of my former bubble butt. The rest of my body just followed the example my midsection set: fat and huge. My previously muscular arms and legs were almost doubled in size due to fat, with bingo wings and cankles in their respective spots. My neck was about twice as thick as before, and i now had quite an obvious double chin, even when looking straight up. I couldn't even register how i felt, I was in too much shock. Was i happy? Was i angry? Was i confused? Definitely confused. What could have caused this?
Although it sounded absurd, it had to be the remote. I didn't do anything else that could have caused me to gain weight that fast. I took a look at the app, and noticed that instead of pressing the channel button, I was spamming the weight button. It now read, on a small panel at the bottom, that I was 206 lbs. That was insane! How could a free app change me like that?
To make sure I was right, I hit the "-" button on the weight keys, and kept spamming that till I was back down to my previous weight of 160 pounds. Then I went a little lower to 150 just to be sure. Lifting my shirt, I was now even skinnier than I was before, but had lost most of my muscles. Looking at the remote, I saw a switch that was labeled "fat - muscle". Right now, it was set it fat, so I switched to to muscle, and buffed me up to 180 lbs. Then I went even further, to 210 lbs, 4 pouns heavier than I was before. This time, I was beefy and muscular, instead of pudgy and soft.
With my mind cleared and a sense of power building up inside me, I got a devious idea to play with the remote some more.
