Dean: "Yes, I accept your offer, Deus!"

  Deus: "[smirks arrogantly] I don't think you'll regret it!"

  |||I don't remember exactly what happened next. All I can recall is that the place was overwhelmed with huge, intense auras. I felt their pressure and density, and when I looked at Deus, something black—blacker than coal—came out of him! It looked like thick fog, but it didn’t dissipate. It was as if it were a single solid mass. Suddenly, that fog passed through my body, and I felt it enter me. And when everything vanished... Deus collapsed to the ground in front of me!|||

  Dean: "[nervously] D... Deus? Are you—are you okay?!... What?"

  |||At that moment, everything in my body started hurting. My stomach burned from the inside, my heart was pounding like crazy, and I dropped to the floor clutching my belly. It felt like my bones were trying to burst out of me! I couldn't move or do anything but scream. The pain was so intense that I blacked out into a deep sleep.|||

  ? The next morning — 11:00 AM:

  |||I woke up from a deep sleep, but what happened next was the strangest thing I'd ever experienced.|||

  Dean: "Ughhh, my head really hurts... [looks to his right] Hmm... Hey Deus, are you alright? [reaches out to touch Deus] What? [looks at his hand] Whose hand is this?!"

  |||The hand I saw wasn’t mine. It wasn’t short, thick, and sweaty. It was lean, tight, and strong!|||

  Dean: "What the hell?! [stands up] What? Why is the floor so far away from me? Wait! [looks at his stomach, nervous] Wha... what happened to my belly? Where did it go?! And why is my shirt suddenly too small?! [slowly lifts his shirt]"

  |||What I saw under my shirt was not my disgusting fat body. Where did that huge, heavy belly that jiggled when I walked go? The one that used to absorb punches? It was gone! What I found... was a ripped physique! My entire body was muscular, like the ones you see in fitness magazines! I started touching every part of it in disbelief. Then an idea hit me—I rushed to the bathroom and looked into the mirror.|||

  Dean: "[anxiously] Wh-who... who is this?!"

  |||The reflection wasn't me! It wasn’t my big, bruised, chubby face with the fat jaw. It was someone I couldn’t have imagined in my wildest dreams—defined jawline, no extra fat or skin, thin red lips like blood, a small neat nose, large sparkling pale-blue eyes like a clear sky, and those long lower lashes! I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I fell back from the mirror and started screaming...|||

  Dean: "[screaming] What is this?! Who is this?! Where did I go?! S-someone help me!"

  (voice): "So, you’re finally awake."

  Dean: "What?! [looks around with nervous chuckle] I must be going crazy! This is all just a dream, right? [places hand on forehead] Yeah, just a stupid dream."

  (voice): "It’s not a dream, you idiot."

  Dean: "[quickly stands up, shocked] Who's there?! Show yourself! I—I’m calling the cops!"

  (voice): "Calm down, it’s just me, Deus."

  Dean: "[nervously] D-Deus?! [leaves the bathroom and heads to the living room] But... you are on the ground!"

  Deus: "Damn it, I'm inside you, idiot!"

  Dean: "[eyes widen, pupils shrink, gulps nervously] I-inside me?!"

  If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

  Deus: "Yes."

  Dean: "What the hell are you doing inside me?! Get out! Get out now!"

  Deus: "What do you mean? This was the deal, remember?"

  Dean: "W-what?"

  Deus: "Yeah, the deal was that I inhabit your body and in exchange, I give you a better one—and you help me save my sister from the Exorcists. Don’t you remember?"

  Dean: "N-now that you mention it... I think I did something like that."

  Deus: "It’s not 'I think'—you did."

  Dean: "[nervously] But... you never said you'd be inside my body!"

  Deus: "I literally did."

  Dean: "No, you didn’t!"

  Deus: "I literally did! Go check the previous chapter."

  Dean: "What?"

  Deus: "Never mind that. So, what do you think?"

  Dean: "Think? About what?"

  Deus: "Your new body, of course! You idiot."

  Dean: "Speaking of that..."

  ? In the bathroom:

  Dean: "You kind of overdid it."

  Deus: "Excuse me? You didn’t like it? You ungrateful little—"

  Dean: "It’s not like that!"

  Deus: "Then what is it?"

  Dean: "[face turns red, eyes look down, angry expression] You didn’t have to... go that far..."

  Deus: "You said you wanted to be 'the best-looking'—and I’m a king of my word."

  Dean: "[same expression, redder face] T-th-thank you..."

  Deus *from inside Dean*: "[mouth slightly open in mild surprise, then turns into a wicked smirk] You're welcome!"

  Deus *outside*: "Actually, I should be thanking you. You saved me, and now you’re willing to help me save my sister."

  Dean: "Don’t worry. I’ll definitely save her! By the way..."

  Deus: "What?"

  Dean: "How exactly do we do that?"

  Deus: "Huh? Weren’t you listening? We break into where she’s being held. Of course, we’ll have to kill a lot of them first."

  Dean: "What?! No... no, I can’t... I don’t want to kill anyone. I... I won’t do it."

  Deus: "What? Didn’t you say you’d definitely save her?"

  Dean: "Yeah! But... I don’t want to kill... anyone."

  Deus: "Relax. We won’t be killing humans."

  Dean: "What? But you just said—"

  Deus *from inside Dean*: "Yeah, we’ll be killing... [his face appears—Dean’s same face but with evil smile, scary golden eyes, white spiked hair, and an ihuman body which has a black lines in the chest—his smile darker than ever]... a whole lot of demons!"

  Dean: "[shocked and nervous] Wh-what do you mean?!"

  Deus *outside*: "Huh? You still don’t get it? You really are an idiot. We're turning you into an Exorcist!"

  Dean: "An Exorcist?!"

  Deus: "Yep, but no need to explain the details now."

  Dean: "Wait, you want me to become an Exorcist?! But... [lowers eyes, sad tone] that means I’ll have to kill your people..."

  Deus: "What? [laughs]"

  Dean: "What’s so funny?!"

  Deus: "Come on, Dean. You think I care about the lives of a bunch of beasts if it means saving my sister? I'd wipe out a billion of them if that’s what it takes."

  Dean: "Tsk. You really are a terrible king."

  Deus: "Hey, I never claimed to be a good one."

  Dean: "Anyway, what exactly is an Exorcist? You haven’t explained much."

  Deus: "I’ll tell you later. That’s not important right now."

  Dean: "Then what is?"

  Deus *from inside Dean*: "[smiles]... Shopping!"

  Dean: "What?"

  ? At the mall — noon:

  |||Deus told me I needed new clothes. Well, he wasn’t wrong. Now that I had this body, none of my old clothes fit. So, I wore the outfit of the guy whose body Deus had possessed before, and headed to the mall. Luckily, I didn’t have school today, or I would’ve skipped and gotten in trouble.|||

  Dean: "Wooooow! This place is way bigger on the inside!"

  Deus: "Huh? Haven’t you been here before?"

  Dean: "Nope, they never let me in past the gate. chuckles But... why do I feel so nervous? Like someone’s watching me..."

  Deus: "No one’s watching you—they’re everywhere."

  Dean: "Who... is?"

  Deus: "The people!"

  Dean: "The... people?"

  Deus: "Look around, and you’ll see what I mean."

  |||I looked around, just like Deus told me—and what I saw gave me goosebumps. Everyone was staring at me. Not with disgust like before, but with amazement! Right, left, front, back, even above—I felt like everyone’s eyes were on me. I panicked and rushed into a clothing store.|||

  Dean: "Phew... That was intense! What the hell was that?!"

  Deus: "Something you’ve never experienced before—admiration!"

  Dean: "R... really? [lowers his gaze, a little sad and quickly looks up]"

  |||That’s when I noticed two girls whispering to each other.|||

  Girl 1: "[whispering] Is he okay? He was talking to himself."

  Girl 2: "[whispering] That’s not the question you should ask. Is he even human?!"

  Girl 1: "[whispering] You’re right! I’ve never seen a boy this beautiful!"

  Girl 3: "[whispering] He’s like... an angel!"

  Girl 2: "Kyaaa! Who are you?!"

  Dean: "Excuse me... Can I get through?"

  Girl 2: "[nervous and shy] O-of course! [she and the others move aside]"

  Dean: "[smiles] Thanks! [keeps walking]"

  Girls 1/2/3: "He’s... a human angel!"

  |||I started checking out the clothes, but I was totally lost. I’ve never worn anything other than the same two shirts—one for work, one for school. I even mixed them up sometimes.|||

  Dean: "Hey Deus..."

  Deus: "What?"

  Dean: "[frowns] I don’t know what to pick—help me out, please!"

  Deus: "Do I look like a fashion model to you?!"

  Dean: "Model?"

  Deus: "Besides, I’m not human, so I don’t know your fashion. So if I had to choose... I’d ask that employee over there. That’s literally his job."

  Dean: "You think he’ll help me?"

  Deus: "Before? No way. Now? 100% guaranteed."

  Dean: "What... do you mean?"

  Deus: "Just go."

  |||I went to ask the employee for help like Deus said. He agreed immediately, but instead of helping me himself, he brought over a female employee while he stepped away to take a call. He asked for my name too.|||

  Employee: "[speaking quietly on the phone] I found him, ma’am!"

  (Woman’s voice): "Are you sure this time?"

  Employee: "Absolutely. It’s him! And his name is... [smiles] Dean!"

  (Woman’s voice): "Really?! Don’t let him leave—I’m coming."

  Employee: "In person?!"

  (Woman’s voice): "I’ll be there soon. Goodbye. [hangs up, smiling wickedly] Dean... huh?"
