I started thinking and sothing ca to my mind. At first, when I was deciding on my male appearance for when I had morphogenesis, I thought about just changing my gender.
But, not to ntion that I would look like Seraphina and people might jump to conclusions with our resemblances, I also looked like my father and older brother, so I dismissed them. Although I could change the hair and eye color, the resemblance was still there.
I also didn’t feel right being so fucking handso. Perhaps, at that mont, thinking that William, despite not being that handso, achieved even more than people who were, I realized that looks weren’t everything and was more discreet.
In the end, I settled on a middle ground between that idea and my appearance from my previous world. This left soone handso, but only slightly more than average.
I was a little sad that my previous appearance was so detrintal to what would be my final masculine version, I went from being absolutely handso, to barely being considered handso, it was a clear degradation, but at the sa ti I felt more comfortable.
In the end, since it was unlikely that I would ever return to this place and I was far enough away that I would never run into anyone I knew, I decided to go with that look I had discarded. I was very handso , basically the male version of Seraphina.
Along with that, I left my hair just as silver. Here that color was as exotic as black in Avaloria. Sotis I forget because in our group there are three with black hair: , Elena and Aurora, but the three of us are absolutely weird.
Silver is an extrely rare color here, but for my purposes, the more exotic the better. I left my eyes the sa, because honestly it’s fucking complicated to change them color.
That’s why I took the risk of keeping them as Chris. Now that I have more control over morphogenesis it’s easier, but blue was also an exotic color.
The horns I got were gray, different from the color this demonic breed normally has, which is usually black.
Color variations in this race of demons were rare, but they existed, and the more unique it was, the more likely it was that I would have direct passage to the city lord’s castle.
Now the second, and more difficult requirent for , was that it be smaller. Being Seraphina, which is my base state, although I had never asured myself, I was about 5’5".
I found it easy to do things like increase my height; like when I transford into Chris, who was about 6’, and even create new things like a shenlong or extra arms, as long as I had mana there didn’t seem to be any problems increasing things using morphogenesis. But I found it difficult to reduce my size.
My original body was a little taller than the average woman, and I wanted to reduce at least six inches. It was difficult, but I started and concentrated.
Growing horns and a tail made up for it a bit, but I still needed to be smaller.
Using all my visualization, I imagined those who were about this height: the twins. I concentrated; I hadn’t been serious before, but now it was necessary.
I concentrated and began to change the structure of my body. I had to condense the bones more, accommodate the muscles so that they would maintain their functionality, reduce the size of the organs without damaging them or compromising their functioning.
Thanks to the knowledge of the art of lust, I was completely confident in my knowledge of the body. Art and skills sotis work together, and this is a clear case in point.
Without the body knowledge that art brought, I would not risk making such extre modifications to my body. Those three years I used to clearly understand how humans and demons and humanoid species functioned.
There was also knowledge of other non-humanoid species, but there are so many that I have yet to fully understand them.

"huuuff...I think that’s it."
When I finished, I let out a sigh, The ntal effort was a bit exhausting, and the mana expenditure was higher than normal, which was about twenty percent of my current mana.
I took a good look at myself from all sides with the help of my doppelgänger, and indeed, there was no problem with my visualization.
I was a beautiful demon with faintly bluish skin, silver hair, sky blue eyes and a height of 5’1". That was the maximum I could manage.
Size aside, it was exotic among demons of this race. It was rare, but not impossible, for such a genetic mutation to occur in this demon race, which on average had this height.
After adjusting to my motor coordination and my new perception of my surroundings for a few minutes, I was ready to act.
’Okay, now I can begin.’
..
.
Hooded, I headed for a specific area of the city. According to the informant, it was the area where the slave sellers were. It was a big business, being a city where human slaves resulting from the war ca from ti to ti.
Not only that, there were also exotic beasts and other things from the interdiate world, and as always, sothing common in any race those of the sa species, either very poor people who had no choice, those who owed money, or criminals and that should be all, but sotis innocent people would be involved in these businesses too .
This area was a particularly profitable business in this city because of the rich rcenaries or nobles that ca and went in search of excitent, so Local store were more discreet while others blatantly displayed their ’rchandise’ to the public, honestly not a pleasant thing to see.
It was a whole street full of different vendors, but I had one specific one in mind.
I had to be careful, as soone with my current appearance would be a great temptation, for those in the business, if my hood fell off I would probably not reach my target.
..
.
I ca to the end of the street, to a place that looked like the biggest, which was the Neron company. In front of the place, where the traffic of people was not in the way, there was what looked like a small grandstand, where an open air auction seed to be taking place.
"Five black gold coins, going once, going twice... and sold to number 56!"
With many demons, grouped together and holding up a sign each ti the man standing on the dais would say a number in black gold, which was the local currency, for the man tied to his side who appeared to be the ’product’ being auctioned.
I had heard of this, this place was the biggest and most popular place in town and where you found the high quality stuff, even if it wasn’t slaves.
"if you want to pass, you have to pay a fee...."
The man who looked like the doorman, behind what were simply barrier posts, asked for a small commission and gave a number.
Then he explained the basic rules to quickly, and without further ado I went in, got in front and started bidding on anything.
I wasn’t particularly interested in any humans, demons, monsters or beasts as slaves.
Maybe because I ca from a world without them, besides the ones I read about in fiction, it wasn’t a nice thing to see, It’s sad that there are slaves in this world, but I know I can’t do much about it.
The most I could do was to have my father abolish that practice in our territory since that was the most he could do.
Although at the ti, deep down I regretted that no slave girl had "taken a liking" to and joined my harem, as in the slave clichés, which I had to admit was my ulterior motive, besides the fact that I resented the existence of slaves.
It was not my main intention, but, it was worth dreaming, the good thing is that not long after, Alice appeared and that disappointnt disappeared imdiately.
The point is, if I could do it, I would. If not, I wouldn’t risk doing sothing that would hurt by pretending to be a good Samaritan.
If I did, I would have to take responsibility for them, at least for a while. It’s sothing I could do in my father’s territory, but here and elsewhere, I could not.
This world is hard, and I couldn’t feel sorry and go around trying to irresponsibly save everything I co across, especially if I don’t have the ability, to do so.
..
Anyway, I bid, but I bid in a way that I obviously wouldn’t win, since there were people eager for it. I stopped in the middle. I didn’t want to buy anything, I was just waiting for the mont to act.
Or so I thought, but At that mont, a monster appeared in the auction that did interest . Because its spinal cord was a material used in the creation of life-saving artifacts that I planned to create for Eira.
Whenever I could, I gave the girls things that could save their lives, made with the knowledge of runes I had.
They were things I modified from rare materials from William’s legacy or things that were there directly, like the set of arrows Alice told she used to defeat a guy who controlled sludge.
They were arrows from, the second vault made of a rare wood, but I attached runes to it myself, so she could defeat guys above her power.
I never expected Eira to enter my harem, so I didn’t have many things prepared for her, but the marrow of that beast would work very well to make so ice bombs engraved with an ’interrupt’ rune, a divine rune derived from the ’Connection’ authority of the spear. Sothing my alternate self left .
It was one of the ten divine runes I’ve mastered to date.
..
Money was not a problem as there were many rchants who bought items and things even if they belonged to humans as rcenaries usually take human’s storage bags as loot, and I was able to sell so unnecessary weapons from William’s legacy which gave much money.
"... and sold to number 120!"
’good’
Finally, I was the victor and just at that mont, when I was celebrating internally.
"Hey! Who do you think you are, that’s a monster I wanted in my collection!"
Soone pushed from behind, which made fall and caused my hood to fall off. At that mont, I stood up and looked at the guy angrily, .
"hey you bastard what’s wrong with you".
Thud!
And without thinking about it, I imdiately hit him back in the jaw without holding back.
