Chapter 16 : Chapter 16: Powering Up
Right as I caught a glimpse of the creature, the massive bulkhead door came down the rest of the way and engaged its multiple locking mechanisms, sealing the mine shut and ensuring our safety. The adult crab worm was none too pleased about the closure and immediately began ramming into and banging on the thick gargantuan door, much to my newborn pups' dismay. But no matter how much that mega sized alien lobster raged and beat on the bulkhead, it didn't move a centimeter nor show any signs of damage nor weakness.Relieved that the gargantuan door was holding up strong, I moved to the elevator, stood by the control panel, and watched the mine entrance intently, ready to press the button and take us to the ground floor if that big bastard broke through. Luckily for me and my 5 new companions, the beast gave up and discontinued its useless beating on that solid piece of metal.
"Phew, it looks like I won't have to confront that biological tank... For now."hrough in the mine, I was more than up for the challenge. I gritted my teeth as I did previously and was careful not to use too much strength so I wouldn't break them. The pulses of pain went on for a number of minutes, but they eventually subsided, just as they had done before, leaving me with an even more impressive body.
"Now that's what I'm talking about!" I thought excitedly, as my typical bruiser body with underdeveloped legs was no more.
What replaced it was a properly proportioned build that was more akin to a monstrous super soldier than anything else. After having my fun, examining my figure from top to bottom, I brought up my system once again and looked at my remaining 34 badass tokens.
I'm sure I will be doing a ton of reloading in the coming battles, so let's toss the points in there.
[ Badass Tokens -34 ]
[ Reload Speed +3.4% ]
Okay, I'm finally done. Let's give my status one solid last look over and then take a nice long shower to remove all this sweat I just accumulated through my massive strengthening.

Those sure are some impressive gains.
Satisfied with what I had accomplished in the matter of not even a single Pandoran day, I was about to enter the shower when I caught sight of something out of the side of my eye. Striding over to the cracked mirror, I examined my head and found my hair had grown a slight bit and gained very faint crimson streaks throughout.
...That's cool, I guess.
Not minding the changes to my hair color, I marched back to the showers and started washing up and as I was just about finished; I had extreme hunger pangs come out of nowhere and overwhelm me.
Man, I'm starving.
Feeling absolutely ravenous, I swiftly completed my cleaning and flew to my temporary kitchen in search of a meal.
