Dark Lord Seduction System: Taming Wives, Daughters, Aunts, and CEOs novel Chapter 296

Chapter 296: Hidden Possessiveness

My skin itself was shedding. Not dramatically — just the top layer peeling away like the world’s worst sunburn, taking with it acne scars, minor blemishes, the rough patches from years of cheap soap. Underneath was skin that felt new, fresh, healthy. Not perfect — still recognizably mine — just... clean.

The pain shifted from burning to stretching. Muscles I’d never properly used were awakening, tightening, defining themselves. Not bulking up — staying lean, but every fiber becoming functional. The soft teenager body was being carved into something athletic without being intimidating.

I felt taller somehow, though I couldn’t be sure. Maybe it was just my spine straightening from years of terrible posture, vertebrae aligning properly for the first time. My shoulders naturally pulled back, chest opening up, breathing becoming easier.

Another wave of vomiting. This time clearer, less black, but still carrying traces of waste. My body was determined to expel everything that didn’t belong.

"ARIA," I gasped between convulsions. "How much longer?"

"Forty-three minutes remaining, Master. Your body has expelled approximately twelve pounds of waste material."

Twelve pounds of pure toxins and fat. No wonder I felt lighter.

The transformation moved to my face. I felt my features shifting subtly — nothing dramatic, just... optimizing. The asymmetry everyone has naturally was evening out. My nose straightened slightly. My eyes became more balanced. Not movie star handsome — just above average, the kind of face that would get second looks without stopping traffic.

When it finally ended, I was sitting in a bathtub that looked like an oil spill had occurred. The black sludge was inches deep, chunks of dissolved matter floating in the toxic soup. The smell was unbearable.

I stood on shaky legs, the waste sliding off my new skin like it was coated in teflon. Nothing stuck to me anymore.

The mirror showed Peter Carter — still me, still recognizable, but cleaned up. Lean muscle where soft flesh used to be. Clear skin with a healthy glow. Features that were handsome without being remarkable. The kind of guy girls would call "cute" and mean it.
