‘Come straight to the lab as soon as you get home. Love you.’ The text message read. Maria felt a knot in her stomach. She rarely ever received messages from her fiance while at work, let alone a command.
She canceled her after-work appointment so she could rush home as quickly as possible. As soon as her car pulled into the drive way, she barged into the house, threw her business coat off, and opened the door to the basement. “Steve?” she called out, projecting her voice before starting down the stairs.
“Maria! I’ve done it! I figured out the missing link!” an excited Steve shouted back.
“You.. aren’t talking about…” Maria almost finished her descent.
“Yes, I am.” Steve had a sheen of stubble on his face, having been preoccupied by his latest task for quite some time.
“I thought you canceled that project for good?!”
“After seeing you cry, I knew I had to finish it.”
“But.. how? And what’s with all of this… What is all of this stuff anyways?” she asked, pointing to multiple piles of dirty metal on the ground.
“It is, in fact, scrap metal. Cheapest way I could get a surplus of dense materials. Plus they delivered it, even put it on the floor in piles for me!”
“I’m not following. Are you going to turn this all into gold or something?” she asked, disappointment meeting her eyes.
Steve shook his head. “No. Remember how the Transmogrifier crapped out after a few moments of transforming something?”
“Of course.”
“Well, after returning to the project with a fresh set of eyes, the problem was really simple! All along, the issue was that I was transforming the initial substance into something of a different density. The machine needed a way to compensate for that. To take away from, or add to, a third subject to offset the balance.”
Maria blinked a few times. “So… you bought this scrap for it to take… matter away from?”
Steve nodded. “Yup! Now… I know you said not to, but I won’t try to sell this or anything…” he opened up his desk and pulled out a massive diamond – easily the size of a soccer ball! “TA DA!” he announced presenting it to his fiance.
“Oh my god…” Was all Maria could mutter at the sight of it. It was as if a disco-ball was actually a pure, shimmering, precious jewel.
“I think this beats out your old engagement ring, huh?” he joked, motioning for her to take it.
Maria picked it up, surprised by its heft. “Steve… this.. this… this can never leave this basement!”
The smaller man nodded. “I know. Look babe. Let’s just focus on getting you healthy, ok? ‘Investing in human capital’ as you would put it.”
Maria was still somewhat dumbfounded. “Are… are you sure this is totally safe?” Maria was concerned after recalling what occurred during his original attempts to create gold half a year ago.
“Well, I can list off the various fail-safes I’ve programmed in…” Steve brought up a list of variables on his computer. “For starters, once the Transmogrifier starts on you, it won’t be able to stop until it’s finished. Even I won’t be able to stop it short of smashing the thing. I’ve even got a backup generator setup in case the power goes out! It’ll turn almost all of your body fat into pure muscle, but while it does that it’s going to strengthen your bones, arteries, heart, lungs, and other organs, as well as prepare your brain, hormones and nervous system for life with a suddenly much-more muscular body. There are some other things too, but I’ll spare the details.”
Maria blinked a few times. “Wait, why is it doing all of that stuff? Won’t that add more potential complications?”
Steve stroked his chin a couple times. “Well, objectively, sure, it adds the possibility of more complications… but if your entire body composition just suddenly shifts like that it could have drastic side effects. For example, your bones probably can’t even support the added density and weight that much muscle brings. Nor would your arteries be able to pump enough blood to sustain your new form. You’d probably collapse into a heap on the floor and die!”
“Added weight?” Maria asked, raising an eyebrow. “So it’s not going to simply turn fat into muscle?”
“It does. That’s the thing with the machine I was getting wrong in the first place. While the overall volume remains roughly the same, the weight changes. Remember high school science class?”
“I do.” Maria chuckled slightly. “So to lose fat, I’ve gotta gain weight?”
Steve nodded. “Since it’s changing mass from one form to another, the machine can’t actually add or reduce extra size… Just alter it. You’ll be the same size… just rearranged.”
“But… it needs to take away or add matter from another substance to offset density differences?” Maria was completely puzzled.
“Yeah. Look, I know it sounds crazy… But isn’t all of this pretty nuts to begin with?”
“Right. So… what else do we need to do?”
“We need to perform a full body-scan of your current state to make sure the programming is fully calibrated to you.”
Maria nodded. Steve was completely serious. It was a rare event that her fiance was so impassioned about something. “So, like, get a DEXA scan from the doctor?”
Steve shook his head. “Nah, no need. With a bit of adaptive programming, I’ve setup a script that will make the Transmogrifier scan you right here and now.” He walked over to his computer and pressed a few key strokes. “Oh, you’re going to have to strip down for this.”
“Right.” Maria started to take her clothing off. Even though Steve had seen her naked countless times, Maria still felt embarrassed to reveal her overweight form. “Alright.” she said, placing her clothing in a pile on the ground. A veritable sheen of fat clung to her otherwise well-proportioned form.
“You’ll, er, need to take off everything.”
Maria sighed before removing her undergarments. As her large breasts flopped out and sagged, she was forced yet again to be reminded of the form she despised.
Steve hit a few more buttons, and a beam of light emerged from the Transmogrifier’s ray-gun, scanning the large woman. After a few moments, he looked over the data on the screen. “5 foot 11 and a quarter inches tall, 279 pounds, 37 percent bodyfat… Does this sound accurate? Actually, there’s a bunch of other stuff here too, can you come take a look?”
Maria came over and blushed – the computer screen showed a 3D rendered model of her bulbous form with a long list of various statistics about her body.
As Steve continued looking over the numbers, a chill ran down his spine.
“What’s wrong?” she had been with him long enough to tell when he was bothered by something.
“This information… it’s… I’m so sorry I didn’t try to help you sooner.”
There were red ‘WARNING’ signs next to Maria’s heart-rate, blood-pressure, cholesterol and other general health ratings. “Please, Steve, this is very accurate, okay? I don’t want to look at it anymore.” She was growing visibly upset.
“Alright. I’m just going to save a snapshot of this for posterity’s sake.” he quickly hit a key. “And now I’ll feed this data to the morphing program…” another series of keystrokes and the disparaging data disappeared. “Okay babe, if you’re ready, just stand over there and I’ll start the machine.”
Maria took her position.
“I’d recommend maybe standing with your legs spread apart. Also, maybe put your hands on your hips.”
She complied, striking the pose.
“Alright, here it goes.” with a few more deft keystrokes, he initiated the program. He closed his eyes “Dear God, please work…” he muttered under his breath, remembering the abomination of gold and steel the machine created a few months ago.
The Transmogrifier lit up and fired a brilliant green beam that struck Maria directly in her chest. A second ray split off from the source and latched onto a pile of scrap metal nearby. While Steve was too unnerved to look, Maria was beginning to undergo a wondrous transformation. First came a slew of internal changes, unseen to the human eye. Everything about her internally became more effective. Her breaths became deeper and less frequent. Her heart rate slowed as it was now able to pump blood out more effectively as her arteries unclogged and opened. She began to feel more lively and energetic as her hormone levels balanced out. Her mind grew clearer, and she could somehow sense that the days of needing caffeine just to function were coming to an end.
Maria glanced over at the pile of scrap on the floor being simultaneously hit by the beam, and was shocked to find it rapidly decaying. It wasn’t rusting, nor was it simply diminishing – all of its being was warping somewhat violently as its matter was decomposed in a seemingly random fashion.
She shook her head before a change she could truly feel began to take hold. Her bones thickened and grew denser, as if they had been adapting to years of weight training. After her innards were fortified a bit, the program started transforming the visible fat on her frame into pure muscle. As Maria looked down at her shifting form, the sight was terrifying – her mind could barely handle it, and she closed her eyes for fear of the effects of cognitive dissonance.
Maria felt… Good. As if a tremendous weight was being lifted off of her shoulders… and then those very shoulders were becoming immensely powerful!
After a few moments passed, the machine stopped humming. Steve finally opened his eyes, and let out an audible gasp at the sight in front of him. “Babe!” he yelled out, stumbling out of his chair. “Are you alright!?”
Slowly, Maria opened her own eyes and looked down. She could see her breasts now defied gravity, being held up by a pair of incredibly meaty pectorals. Just beneath her ample bosom was an unfathomably thick eight pack of abdominals, she took her hand and ran her fingers across it. She jammed her fingers hard into the crevices, amazed at how her formerly flabby form now felt like iron.
“Oh my god…” was all she could mutter. She glanced over at her forearm, taking note of the massive striations of power that popped up.
Steve got onto his feet and was taken aback by the sight in front of him – while Maria had always been comparably large to him, the sheer muscularity of her new physique made the woman appear even bigger. At first he glanced down at her lower body – Maria’s previously massive gelatinous stems were now two proud power-packed tree trunks. His sight moved upward, catching on her bare breasts, which were always large, but now had the benefit of needing zero support at all to stand at full attention.
“Like what you see?” Maria asked, taking a stride towards him. Her voice was always confident and powerful for a woman – but now she sounded… royal – as if her word was law, and she knew it. Her legs seemed to carry her significantly further with each step than they used to, and she was able to close the gap with a mere few steps. Her shoulders and hips were wider than ever, yet her waist was surprisingly thin, save for cobblestone abs.
Steve always stood a couple inches shorter than Maria, but for some reason, he had to slightly crane his neck upward to see her face. She looked down, smiling kindly as their eyes met. Without saying another word, she grabbed him by the waist, hoisted him up to eye level, and held him in the air before engaging in a passionate kiss.
The couple continued their impromptu makeout session. Maria barely felt any fatigue at all from holding her fiance within her arms, going so far as to move around the room with ease. She was ready to take him then and there, but Steve remembered there was business to attend to. “Wait.” he uttered between kisses. “We have some stuff to take care of.”
Maria sighed before gently placing him on his feet. She placed her hands on her hips, taking a naturally dominant position. “What now?”
Steve quivered slightly from combination of her immensely imposing figure and her supremely confident voice. “We have to run some tests, and there’s some stuff I need to explain to you about your new body.”
“Alright, I guess we should play it safe before we jump straight to the fun.” Maria admitted.
Steve made his way over to the computer, inputting some commands without bothering to even sit down. The scanner light came back on and recorded her statistics again. He knew that Maria’s change was drastic, but actually seeing the numbers was something else. “Babe, you’re probably going to want to see this…” he said, stroking his chin as he often did.
Maria made her way to the computer in a few confident strides. She was always a creature with a powerful and domineering personality, but now she had a body to match it. As Maria approached him, Steve could literally feel the heat her body was giving off, as if she was a massive human radiator.
Her brown eyes glanced over the statistics.
Height: 5’11” → 6’2”
Weight: 279 → 311
Bodyfat: 37% -> 9%
All of the health markers that were flagged with ‘DANGER’ before were replaced with a neon-green ‘ELITE’ sign next to them.
“So I wasn’t imagining things… I’m taller?”
“Looks that way. The program did strengthen your skeletal system, and your posture has been improved considerably as well. It’s also stretched out your muscles, as if you were an athlete for years.”
Maria pointed at another statistic.
Shoe Size: 10.5 → 13
“Even my feet are larger too…”
“Makes sense considering you’d need larger feet to support your frame.”
“Steve, are you SURE this machine can’t simply add volume to something? I mean, it looks like it did add some kind of size to me.”
“Look. Maria. Please. I don’t actually understand how this thing really works, even though I made it! All I know is every time I’ve tried to make it add size to an object, it fails to.”
“Alright babe, I’m not going to question you on this anymore. Now then, where do we go from here? What do I do with all… THIS?” she flexed her tremendous arm, reveling in the sheer girth of muscle that rose from the action. At least 18 inches of undeniable strength rose on command.
“Well… If you want my honest advice now that I’ve finally proven to you I can accomplish something…”
“Oh cut it out you. You accomplish things I can only dream of every day!” she was balancing her entire weight on one leg, pumping the respective calf, watching it bulge out as it pushed her massive body up and down. “God Steve… I don’t EVER want to wear clothes again!”
“Well, you certainly don’t have to! Just stay at home now, let me make some gold and…”
“No!” Maria cut in. “No gold. No diamonds. It’s too risky. Too many strings and potential trails leading back to us… and back to this machine.”
“Don’t you think your body is suspicious? Couldn’t THAT lead back to the machine?”
“Steven… Honestly babe, who is going to want to mess with THIS?” she moved her arms down and performed a ‘most muscular’ pose that was popular amongst bodybuilders, blowing away all but the absolute largest with her sheer size.
“You’re buff, but not bulletproof…”
Maria let out a sigh. “You know how I am. I’ll find a way to make it work. Now, tell me what all the advice you were going to give me. You’ve more than got my attention!”
“Right. Ok. So… your new body has a way higher metabolism. You’re going to be hungrier than ever before, and to be fair, your body will NEED that extra fuel.”
A loud grumbling came from the amazon’s immensely honed gut.
“My point exactly.” Steve continued. “Well, let’s get you some food while I continue yammering.”
“Good plan!” Maria quipped before bounding at her new maximum speed. As her immense legs pushed her forward up the stairs, causing the very steps themselves began to shake! Excited, she smashed open the door, sending it soaring backwards, force it to crash against the wall with a tremendous bang, a large crack appeared in its wooden frame. She continued speeding towards the kitchen before reaching it and coming to an abrupt halt. The sheer force of her body smashing on the ground caused a couple of loosely hanging plates to fall on the ground and shatter!
Steve followed mousily, taking in the rampage. After finally reaching the kitchen, he found that Maria was already scarfing down a meal-replacement bar. An empty wrapper strewn on the kitchen table revealed she had already finished one before he got there.
“Woops!” she exclaimed, eyeballing the broken plates and cracked door. “I need to get used to all of this… POWER!”
“Well… now then, as I was saying.” Steve started.
“One sec.” Maria ordered before opening the fridge, grabbing a gallon of whole milk, opening it and drinking directly from it.
“Ok, so..” Steve started as Maria took a loud, long gulp from the milk. “I tricked your nervous system into being more efficient with all of that…”
“All of this?” Maria cut in again, flexing up her massive arm again with girlish glee.
“Yeah all of that. So, while your body will now naturally try to maintain that size, you DO still have to, well, maintain it.”
“Like eat LOTS of protein?” Maria asked before taking another huge gulp.
“Well, yes. But not only that.”
Maria finished yet another gulp, letting out a remarkably loud and refreshed ‘ahh’. “Oh, so like getting lots of vitamins and minerals?”
“Yes. That too.” Steve tried starting again, but Maria was already drinking quite loudly once more.
After that last drink, she had finished half of the gallon. “That’s enough for now.” she mused before putting the milk away. As Maria turned away from him, Steve caught full sight of her tremendous back, which had taken on the appearance of a mountain-range.
“Good. Look, honey this is import-” Steve stopped himself as Maria had already gotten distracted.
“Hold on another sec!” she ordered eyeballing the pull-up bar mounted on the doorframe that Steve had used in the past. She lept up, that motion alone causing the ground the rumble, before latching onto the bar single-handedly. The amazon started to pull herself up – quite easily, but the bar could not sustain her tremendous weight and the entire apparatus fell off, causing her to fall to the ground with an otherwordly crash. More plates fell and shattered on the ground.
“Maria! Are you okay!?” Steve yelled, quickly moving over to his massive fiance.
With a surprisingly deft motion, Maria literally jumped onto her feet, causing even more dishes to fall to their demise. Steve wondered if they had anymore plates that could possibly fall. “Never been better!” she exclaimed. “Jeeze, I must be really durable now, huh?.”
Steve was standing within a foot’s distance of the woman, still trying to take in how her perfect posture, hardened bones, and stretched out muscles lead her to veritably tower over him now. “Yes. Now please Maria, just listen for a moment!”
“Alright, alright. You know I’m a very results oriented person, and you’ve given me some pretty amazing results today.” Maria praised before reaching down and planting another kiss on his lips.
Steve blushed – while had been with Maria for quite some time, he wasn’t used to her being so… fit. “Thanks…” he mumbled before collecting himself. “Okay! Seriously!”
Maria finally managed to calm herself down. “I’m listening, for real now.” she nodded.
“So, you need to literally maintain your body. Like, exercise it. If you don’t, even if you give it all the nutrition it needs, it’s just a matter of time before it eventually atrophies. I mean, theoretically it should atrophy far slower than a regular buff person’s, but trust me, you really don’t want that to happen.”
“Aww, are you afraid I’d get weak again? You must really love me being so powerful!”
“No! It’s not that. Well, I mean, do I think you being this way is thrilling! But… There’s a bunch of factors. Like, for example, I don’t know what your new nervous system would do if you lost a bunch of muscle, or any of your organs would do, that sort of thing.”
Maria nodded. She considered chastising him for these potential risks, but recalled how strongly she pushed him to throw caution to the wind. Instead, she opted to tease him a little. “Are you just afraid I’ll get fat again?”
“Kind of.” he admitted. “But not like that!” he added after seeing her face growing somewhat discerned at his initial remark.
“You mean the old saying of muscle turning to fat if you don’t use it?”
“Well, actually, it’s not possible for muscle to actually turn into fat. Other than with the Transmogrifier of course. What I mean is, if your muscles atrophied while your appetite remained the same, you could potentially end up in an even more dangerous situation health wise than you already were!”
“Alright, alright. I get the picture. So what do I need to do?”
“Tax your muscles.”
“Like work out?”
Steve nodded. “You’ll have to follow a real exercise program. Either lifting appropriately heavy weights for a little bit a couple times a week, or do a lot of bodyweight exercises every few days.”
“The lifting sounds easier.”
Steve nodded again. “It probably will be. You’ll also probably find a greater endorphin rush from doing it than you used to get too.”
“I think you really just want to watch me pump these babies up!” she joked, bouncing her pecs, causing the large breasts on top of them to dance on command.
Steve gulped. “Well, I would like to record how strong you are. For posterity’s sake, you know.”
“Suure mister scientist. Alright, well I’m feeling energetic, so let’s do it!” Maria grabbed Steve and hoisted him into air with startling ease. She carried him over to the living room where she kept an all-in-one gym machine before planting him down. “This bad boy should help take care of my fitness needs.” she said before planting Steve back on his feet and sitting down the machine’s seat.
Her thick, powerful limbs made the machine seem small in comparison. She put the weight pin on her usual setting before starting a leg extension maneuver. The motion was trivially easy, providing virtually no resistance at all. She let out a chuckle at how easy this task that used to challenge her had become. “I had a feeling this would happen, but I wanted to see for myself.”
Maria proceeded to place the pin on the bottom weight, setting it to its maximum difficulty. She steeled herself for what would undoubtedly be a challenge, but to both her and Steve’s surprise, her legs once again effortlessly lifted the weight. Her thick, powerful quadriceps barely even bulged as she repeated the motion over and over. She let go with one leg and continued the motion with only one. This provided a little bit of a challenge, but she knew it wasn’t nearly enough to really push her limits.
“Guess it’s time we invested in a home gym huh?” Maria mentioned before striding over to the living room computer and taking a seat.
“I guess so…” Steve affirmed. He knew that there was no point in even questioning Maria’s statement. She already had so much power over him in their relationship, and now it had become disproportionately even more so.
Maria was already on an internet retail site looking at the various weight sets available. “Say, Steve.” Maria started, stroking her chin, imitating the motion he often made. “When I do start lifting weights, if I take it seriously, can I get even bigger and stronger?”
Steve blinked a few times at the thought of that prospect. “I… honestly am not entirely sure.” he admitted. “On one hand you’re essentially at, or even past, your genetic limit for building muscle naturally. That’s why it’s so crucial you tax your muscles, so your body doesn’t get rid of them. On the other hand… the rest of you WAS enhanced to accept this new frame. It’s possible that increased your natural limit.”
“Interesting.” Maria said, mulling over the possibilities. The idea of gaining even more power was pretty appealing.
Steve placed his hands on her wide back, amazed at how incredibly hard the muscles were underneath her soft skin. He dug his fingers in an attempt to massage her.
“Mmm feels good babe.” Maria commented. “Check this out though.” she tensed up and flexed her back, causing it to reach impossible levels of toughness. Steve tried to dig in with his digits, but could barely cause the powerful flesh to yield at all.
Maria couldn’t deny it, she LOVED being this strong, and wanted more. If lifting heavy every day made sure she kept this body, and could potentially push her to the next level, then that’s exactly what she’d do. It was settled in her mind – only the heaviest and most durable weight set would do.
“Wow honey, that weight set’s going to be a few thousand dollars…” Steve knew he had no say in the matter at all, but it always put a knot in his stomach to see someone casually spend what would take him months to earn at his low-wage job.
“Well, like I always say, it’s best to invest in human capital!” Maria chimed before placing the order. “Good thing I had quite a bit saved up for a rainy day.” she commented.
The couple both simultaneously wondered what impact, if any, Maria’s new body would have on her career. On one hand, it was possible people would be afraid of her immense beyond-bodybuilder physique… But on the other, it was possible that her sheer size and physicality would make people naturally trust her. As if her strength could somehow correlate to protecting their investments on some subconscious level. That was all without mentioning the sheer amount of extra energy Maria would have to spend as she pleased.
“Alright. That should be arriving tomorrow. If it gets here before I come home, make sure you sign off for it, okay?”
Steve found it difficult to even come up with some kind of humorous comeback. Her sheer presence had become overwhelmingly dominant.
“Got it. Be on the lookout for the delivery guy.” Steve affirmed.
“Also. Do NOT let him inside beyond the threshold. In fact, don’t let anyone EVER enter the basement! I’ll take care of moving the weights.” Her voice was surprisingly stern, more so than she intended for it to be. Maria still had a lot to get use to with her new body.
“Right.”
The large woman let out a sigh. “Problem is I still haven’t taxed this body today!” she stood up, reveling in her slightly increased height and improved posture – a novelty that handn’t worn off. “Guess I’ll have to do a TON of bodyweight exercises, right?
“Well… I mean, you don’t have to work out every single day, ya know? It’s fine to take today off as long as you get on it a few times a week.”
“No, you were right about something Steve. I can’t afford to lose all this. Now that I know the sheer difference in how it feels to be buff vs fluff, I have to keep it. Not just keep it, but push myself every day, and see how much stronger and healthier I can get!”
She moved over towards the center of the living room carpet and got down on her knees. “Now Steve, get over here and jump on my back! I need some resistance for these pushup!”
Steve gulped. He knew there was no way he could deny her request. He wasn’t sure if it would be possible to deny any of her requests from now on. A strange concoction of fear and arousal surged through his system. He wondered how strong Maria could get, how much money she could earn, how… powerful in general she could become.
