Custom Made Demon King-Chapter 9: Modification Plan

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In addition to carefully exploring, observing, and hunting, Roy had been drafting designs these past few days.

The first draft he completed used his hands as reference objects. He made his entire palm bigger and savage, seeming as though a bony shell and messy bone spurs that protruded like nails covered it. He even lengthened his nails and made them sharper with a hook-like curvature. It even glowed with the radiance of metal.

Roy’s initial definitions for this transformation were Steel Material and Flexible.

Yes, this was Roy’s first modification plan, creating a pair of hands with steel claws for himself!

This was just a preliminary idea. In Roy’s conception, if he had enough souls in the future, he also planned to transform his nails to be made of adamantium in order to achieve an indestructible and powerful force. He also planned for this transformation to extend to his whole arm.

This idea naturally came from the claws of Wolverine. However, Roy guessed that the number of souls and their quality were probably insufficient to have them made with adamantium, so his current thought was to transform them into ordinary steel.

With such a sharp pair of claws, his advantage in combat was self-evident. Even if he encountered a strong opponent, he could easily tear through their defense with them. Moreover, a weapon of his own would not have problems such as a shortage of ammunition.

The second modification plan was Roy’s tail.

Due to his different body structure, Roy could not walk completely upright like how he used to as a human. He could stand up but not straighten his body, causing him to slouch. For now, he had been using this arrow-like tail to keep his body in balance. Other than that, his tail was not very useful.

Not only was it unable to help Roy in combat, but it was also a weak point of his body, being sensitive and fragile, bringing him a lot of pain once it was hurt.

Therefore, in order to eliminate this weakness, Roy’s second modification plan was for his tail. He drew a long tail that extended from his spine. It had sections, from thick to sharp, beautifully streamlined. Roy designed three bone knives that could open and close at the tip of his tail. When opened, it could grab objects; when closed, it could become a triangular blade that could pierce through a thick steel plate easily.

If done according to his vision, this long tail, once combined with his body, could even give his spine a protruding blade-shaped bone, making him look more domineering and savage.

He had no other choice. He was disheartened by this world where appearance was everything! It was the same even in this Demon World. Here, the value of looks was strong, scary, and savage. If your appearance did not possess any deterring force and could not invoke fear in others, then probably even ordinary monsters would dare to test you out...

Now that Roy had become a demon without any human form, he freed himself completely and let his imagination run wild.

Roy was rather satisfied with the design of the tail. His definitions for the tail were Bone Material, Flexible, Regeneration, and Hard As Steel.

After he had sufficient souls in the future, Roy also planned to transform the tail into adamantium so that it could become a true steel tail in the truest sense of the word.

The third modification plan was also the last modification plan that Roy had come up with recently. It was not for partial transformation... but for the entire body.

In the third picture, Roy drew a syringe gun and a test tube that matched with the syringe gun.

This test tube was very interesting. The upper and lower ends were encapsulated in silver-white metal, while in the middle were two separate, spiraling tubes with a blue liquid inside.

Very familiar, right? That’s right because Roy’s definition for this liquid was T-Virus!

Since it was for the whole body, the first thing that Roy thought was a strengthening agent, and when it came to strengthening agents, the first things he thought of were the T-Virus and the Super Soldier Serum. ｆ𝘳e𝒆w𝗲𝐛𝘯𝐨νe𝚕.cｏ𝓶

Roy could recall the appearance of the T-Virus from the movies, but he was unclear about the Super Soldier Serum. Of course, he could have just drawn a random test tube and then defined it as a strengthening agent. It would have worked as well, but Roy felt that such a creation out of thin air might require many more souls than something he already had formed in his memory.

Just like the revolver he had made before, he had given it a basic definition, the size, the volume, and so on when drawing it. The additional text definitions were just to perfect it. However, something he thought of out of thin air required a more detailed definition, thereby requiring more souls.

As such, Roy finally chose the T-Virus. It was in itself a concept that was to thoroughly optimize and evolve his genes for the purpose of enhancing physical fitness and eliminating diseases. This was derived from the concept given to it in the movies, novels, and games. Moreover, it was the most basic enhancement when compared to the G-Virus, the Veronica Virus, and the like. It was very suitable for Roy’s current weak body and had little chance of being incompatible.

However, due to concerns about its stability and whether or not his demon body could adapt to this virus, Roy gave two additional definitions to this T-Virus: Perfect Infusion and No Side Effects! This way, he did not need to worry about becoming a zombie...

If the existing souls that Roy possessed could materialize the T-Virus, then he could become stronger after injecting himself with it. If he was lucky, he might even obtain superpowers. It was super efficient.

Three modification plans, three drawings formed three materials. He was now ready to see which one would cost the least.

He had the soul of a lower-rank demon and four monsters. These five souls were all ‘complete low-quality’ souls in the system’s evaluation, and only their volumes and values were different, so Roy started testing each material one by one.

The modification drawings of both hands and tail adaptively changed sizes to match his body after being placed on the main page of the interface. The T-Virus did not need adaptation and was displayed immediately. However, after his tests, Roy discovered that the number of souls he had was only enough to complete the tail!

This surprised Roy because the tail had the most attributes defined. Why is it the tail if more attributes require more souls?

Other than the tail at 100%, modification of his hands could only reach 20% completion, while the T-Virus was even less at only 5%!

In other words, if Roy wanted to transform his hands, he needed at least five times more souls than he currently possessed. Furthermore, he would need twenty times more souls for the T-Virus!

What the hell is going on??

After careful study, Roy realized what was wrong. The reason why the modification of his hands required more souls even though he defined fewer attributes was probably that he defined the material as steel.

It was naturally more difficult for steel to have the flexibility of a living body. It had to be a bio-metal to achieve this. On the contrary, there might be more definitions for the tail, but the material was bone. That meant that it could be completed by proliferating Roy’s own cells. The definition of Hard as Steel was only to strengthen the bone, so the overall modification of the tail was easier than the hands.

As for the T-Virus, Roy understood immediately. After giving it the two definitions, the T-Virus became the perfect strengthening agent, which was why it required so many souls.

In that case, Roy could almost confirm his modification plan immediately—either directly modify the tail or change the definitions for the arm and then modify his arm. He did not even need to think about the T-Virus for the time being.

After giving it some thought, he chose to modify his tail and eliminate his weakness first.

After attaching the tail to his body on the main page and pressing save, a tingling sensation spread throughout his spine. This feeling was really uncomfortable. Roy wanted to rub his back hard on the floor in order to alleviate his discomfort. However, he was very clear that it was best not to do so, so he forced himself to endure it...

After some time, when Roy was still in a trance, that itchiness finally disappeared, and with it came a strange sense of power...𝘧𝓇𝒆𝗲𝓌𝙚𝙗𝓷o𝘷𝒆𝘭.𝐜𝚘𝒎
