"Actually wait a second..." Allen spoke up as he approached Nate, human eyes surveying the scruffy satyr in front of him. The human between the two mythical creatures scrunched his face in thought. "You turned yourself into a satyr, and Owen here made it as if you've always been a satyr, your dad included?"
Marcus stood to the side, and in a flash of thought he spoke up as well. "Hm, you should have a log of changes right? What other things did you do?"
Nate could only chuckle as he rubbed the back of his head. "Eheh, I actually changed a lot more than just myself. Here."
Giving the device over to Allen, Nate watched on as Marcus walked over to read the change logs.
• Wardrobe Adjustment: Update user’s outfit to a loin cloth.

"Oh." Allen the human remarked.
"So... I was a human before?" Marcus questioned as he piqued an eyebrow at Nate. He had no memories of ever being human. The moment he exited his mother's womb, he had been a satyr. His human parents with no lick of satyr traits.
"Y..yeah, baah this is embarassing. But yeah, I made the world have a 10% chance to make mythical creatures." Nate laughed a bit as he awkwardly looked at his friends.
Marcus pursed his lips as he thought of the implications of what Nate had just done. The Chronivac here, Owen, had essentially retconned his entire life into a satyr. Was it random or was it fitting?
Allen however had his head grinding at the ideas of what he could do. "So, based on this perception filter that I could see, if I'm made unaware of the changes then it'd make me fully a new person?"
Upon hearing that question, Nate couldn't really deny it. "Yep, if you're unaware and you make a fundamental change to yourself, you'll fully become the new you. Me? I was aware of my changes and I'm fully a satyr."
"Cool, that means if I want to, I can have a new life. I want to be a minotaur." Allen spoke up excitedly at Owen. "Can you make it so that I've been a minotaur all my life?"
"Baah, why a minotaur though? Satyrs are better." Nate asked as he looked at the Chronivac already writing up a change. "Still have hooves."
"Well to you it would be, for me, I've been struggling to build muscles all my life, and the bullying I got when we were in high school sucked. Imagine if I naturally got the beef." Allen's eyes were sparkling now, thinking of the home gym he had for years now. His body was still a bit lean, as money was not something he had in bulk of either.
"If anything, after that werewolf on the football team got made, I think I want to be a canine." Marcus spoke up as he thought of it. "I want to become a dominant predator on the football fields too."
Nate's smile fell as he listened to them. Both of his friends were planning on changing into sporty creatures it seems, leaving him as a satyr. But that's what he wanted didn't it?
"Hey Owen, do you have some special canine mythical creatures I can be?" Marcus asked the Chronivac as he looked at the screen. A set of changes were already written for the both of them.
"Indexing mythical creatures of the canine family." Owen piped up in an instant.
Marcus looked over the list as he surveyed the list, one did immediately stand out however.
Marchosias.
"Ooh, that's one of the more obscure yet known demons. Marquis of hell, nephilim wolf. I want to be that." Marcus set the change as Owen completed the new list of changes.
• Marcus Proudhorn. Transformation, update user species to "Nephilim Wolf."
• Allen Winters. Transformation, update user species to "Minotaur."
• Perception Filter, aware for all three users.
"Baah, Pan, look at that. Straight up a new species for me. Though if I'm aware then I'll just feel like it's wrong again. Owen, turn off my perception of this change please." Marcus spoke up as he prepared himself for a new life.
"Yeah, same, me too here." Allen spoke up as well, the idea of not being human far more exciting than ever.
"Baah, you're all so eager to just change huh. I guess this is goodbye to the old yous?" Nate asked as he looked over his friends.
"I mean, I don't want to lose you as a friend though. Owen, can you keep us best friends?" Allen asked as he thought of the solutions.
"It is possible, though there must be a strong reason as to why." Owen replied.
"Make a major reason being sports." Marcus spoke up, ready to embrace his new life.
"I mean, sure? That would mean both of you would be jocks in your past." Nate remarked as he watched on.
"That's the idea." Allen grinned as he tapped on execute.
