Seraphina's chest heaved as she rose from the moss, wide-eyed and trembling. Her first few slimes had been exhausting, each swing and pivot demanding more energy than she expected. Her exaggerated proportions—heavy chest, narrow waist, wide hips—still made even weak creatures a challenge, but she had adapted slightly. Each step now felt a little steadier, each swing a little more controlled. Not perfect, not graceful, but better.

A faint squelch drew her attention. Three more slimes jiggled lazily near a patch of glowing moss. Seraphina crouched low, careful not to let her chest throw her off. Her hips resisted rapid pivots, her arms ached, and sweat dampened the skin across her chest and back. Every movement reminded her that her body was a hindrance, but she smiled, mischievous and determined.
She lunged toward the first slime, swinging clumsily. Her fist sank partially into the gelatinous mass. The slime quivered, wobbling slightly, and she staggered backward as her chest bounced forward, throwing off her balance. This time, however, her adjustments—tilting her torso just so, stepping slower—helped her stay upright. Not perfectly, but enough to land another swing.
Minutes passed in a slow rhythm of strike, retreat, strike. The slime wobbled under her clumsy fists, forcing her to constantly readjust. Her exaggerated chest shifted with every movement, her wide hips limited sharp turns, but her body was gradually learning to compensate. Each strike still required all her focus, but she felt her coordination improve, just slightly.
Finally, with a shaky, awkward punch to the slime's center, it collapsed. Seraphina sank to her knees, panting, hair plastered to her flushed cheeks.

She glanced at the remaining two slimes. Both pulsed lazily, almost motionless. Crouching low, she adjusted her stance. Each swing now incorporated small lessons learned: lean just slightly forward, swing in a controlled arc, pivot her hips gradually. Her chest still shifted with each movement, but she stumbled less, her punches connected more reliably, and her dodges were a little smoother.
Strike, retreat. Strike again. One slime quivered violently, then collapsed after several awkward, tiring swings. Seraphina wiped sweat from her forehead and grimaced.

Her heart raced. Even weak creatures demanded effort, but she felt a growing rhythm. The exaggerated body that had made her first fights nearly impossible now slowed her slightly, but no longer crippled her entirely. Each movement was deliberate, every swing calculated. Her confidence grew, shy but mischievous.
The final slime remained. It pulsed slowly, almost lazily, yet she knew better than to underestimate it. She crouched low, chest pressing against her arms for balance, hips pivoting carefully. Strike, retreat. Strike again. Her arms burned, legs trembled, but she had adapted enough to land precise hits. The slime quivered violently, then collapsed.

Seraphina sank against a tree, chest heaving, hair damp with sweat. Only 3.5 EXP, but she could already feel the gradual improvement in her movements. Her body still hindered her, but she was learning—each swing, each dodge, each awkward pivot a small lesson in balance and control.
Hours passed as she hunted through the undergrowth, tackling slime after slime. Her arms burned, her chest heaved, her hips ached—but with each creature, her movements became slightly less clumsy. Finally, after several more encounters, her EXP reached 10 / 10. Her body trembled from exertion, but a tingling warmth spread through her muscles, signaling change.

A sudden surge of energy coursed through her. Her body, previously a major hindrance, adjusted dramatically. Her punches landed with precision, her pivots were smoother, and her balance finally began to match her exaggerated proportions.

She quickly assigned one stat point to strength and agility.
Her wide eyes sparkled with excitement and disbelief. She flexed her arms experimentally, twisting her torso. Movements that had felt awkward and exhausting now felt fluid, natural, and powerful—her chest, hips, and waist no longer tripping her up as before. She still had a long way to go, but the drastic improvement made her feel unstoppable.
She looked at the mossy forest, pulse racing. Slimes still lurked, waiting for her next challenge. Her exaggerated body remained a striking feature, but now it could be wielded as a weapon rather than a constant burden. Seraphina's mischievous grin widened.

She could buy enhancements, techniques, or items—but for now, she simply flexed, savoring the thrill of her first level-up. The violet forest pulsed around her, alive with opportunity. And with her body suddenly more capable, she was ready to face even stronger beasts.
