Aaron was scared. He was really scared now. He was wandering around the large, dark mansion, stumbling down the long, narrow corridor and stopping to glance in each room where the door was left open. How did Todd talk him into joining him on this crazy adventure? He would have been perfectly happy just staying home and playing video games or reading through his large collection of comic books. But no, he just had to give in and tag along with Dean, Todd and Mike and go on this stupid adventure into the creepy abandoned mansion which was supposed to be haunted.
The young nerd was also the youngest and the smallest guy in the group. It really didn’t help that the other three guys were all taller and bigger, since Mike, Todd and Dean were all far more athletic than Aaron was. In addition, Aaron didn’t have an ounce of muscle on him, so he was petrified when he noticed that the other left him all alone in the mansion. How would he find his way out?
“Mike? Dean? Todd? Where are you guys?” Aaron called out, as he entered a room which was filled with toys everywhere. “OH, look at this!”
Aaron walked into the room and spotted a bookshelf containing a large number of dolls and action figures. This was like a treasure for a nerd like Aaron, who collected action figures and sought them out every year when he attended the latest Comic-Con convention. He quickly shuffled over to the bookcase where he admired the figurines on the shelves. The bigger, more muscular ones of warriors, soldiers and barbarians were the ones which caught his attention. Aaron always had a thing for muscle guys, since he himself was skinny as a twig with no muscle at all.
“So, do you like those figures, young man?” a voice spoke out.
“Whaaah!” Aaron yelped as he turned around and spotted a transparent figure hovering three feet above the ground, behind him in the room. The figure looked like that of a very muscular man with a beard and long, black hair. “WHO ARE YOU?”
“I am Amino. You are in my house. I see that you really like some of those figurines, don’t you?” the spirit remarked.
Aaron quickly put the figure back, which he had removed from the shelf. Then he took several steps back.
“I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to touch anything! Please don’t hurt me! I just wanted to have closer look, that’s all!” Aaron said, trembling a little bit more.
“I see you’re quite a bit insecure. You’re not like your friends…” the spirit continued.
“Where are my friends? Are they still here?”
“No,” the spirit replied. “One of them has already left the house. I helped him become a bit stronger…”
“S-s-stronger?” Aaron stuttered.
“Yesssss… My, my… You could surely use a boost in confidence, young man. I was able to help out your friend. Perhaps, I could help you, too!” the spirit said calmly.
“Please… Don’t hurt me! I’m the smallest guy in the group! I always get pushed around by everybody! Don’t kill me!”
“I won’t hurt you…” the spirit said, as it raised its arm and pointed it at the boy. “However, you won’t leave this mansion… Unchanged…”
“What do you m--?” Aaron was about to reply when his entire body was overcome by an intense tingling sensation, which coursed through every muscle! “UUUUUUHHHHHH!!!!”
Aaron bent down and let out a loud roar as his arms started to bulge with raw muscle everywhere! His biceps and triceps grew into large mounds of muscle, filling out his shirt sleeves and ripping them to shreds.
RRRRIPPPPPPP!!!
Next, his pectorals inflated like helium balloons, growing so big, that the buttons of his plaid button shirt popped off, one-by-one. His torso widened by almost a foot as thick, well-defined abdominal muscles appeared over his thin stomach, making him look like a well-trained athlete.
CCRRAAACKKKKKKKKK!!!
Lastly, Aaron’s quads and calves grew so big that his legs ripped out of his jeans in just a matter of seconds. His quads grew so thick, so deep and so wide, filling out with mighty cords of vertical muscle above the knees, that they ripped the jeans at the seams. His calves ballooned into soccer balls of muscle, fully covered in veins, blowing holes in his jeans.
“THERE, MY BOY! Now, you can head that way and leave the mansion!” the spirit said. “Remember my name, I’m Amino! Maybe some day you’ll come back!”
The spirit pointed at the door at the end of the hall. Aaron quickly ran towards the door where the spirit was pointing, when he ran into Dean right as he reached the door.
“DUDE! What happened to YOU?” Aaron asked Dean, who now had longer hair, long nails, and who now began to look more feminine.
“I don’t know! Something changed me. I mean, look at YOU! Where did all the muscles come from?”
“A spirit gave them to me. Let’s get outta here. I’ll explain later!” Aaron shouted as the two boys ran down the hall towards the door, which lead to the lawn outside where Todd and Mike were waiting…
