Getting An Upgrade MKIII (Early access) (Patreon)

In the year 4532 society reached the peak in medical science and body manipulation through biological and technological means. It's been used in tons of different ways to help the planet and humans evolve, and it has several ways that are kind of meaningless, like entertainment.

That's where I come in. You see, I live in the underworld, which is just the name for the surface of the world now since most people live in floating cities above the earth. Down here, there aren't many jobs for us, so most of us participate in the fighting arenas.

Two years ago I was the undefeated champion of the underworld fighting tournament until a massive enhanced fighter destroyed my body landing me in this feminine one. I was told if I could reclaim my titles, I’d be brought to the overworld where I’d be able to create a new body.

I thought it would be easy, win, go up, remake my old body, and hopefully retire before I destroyed it, but despite being on my third set of enhancements, I still can’t make it to the finals. Just like me, my opponents are constantly changing and getting new upgrades.

In my last fight, I ended up meeting the big guy who originally put me in this body in the first round, and it was no surprise that the current champ once again crushed me. His spikey ball hands now got really hot and melted through my exoskeleton.

I did my best to use my speed to outrun him and try to find an opening, but he had none, this guy was too good. So I continued dogging his attacks until my body became exhausted and I wasn’t fast enough to dodge anymore.

His spiked ball hands were as big as I was, so when they hit me, I felt everything from my lower half split off, along with my arms. My body parts went scattering around, and my head on my torse went flying into a wall.

I didn’t stay conscious long after that and when I woke up I had my current body, and once again the doctors were surrounding me ready to tell me what they had done to me, and boy was it a lot more than I ever pictured.

They said that biological enhancements were a good fit for me, and they were holding me back, so since my arms and lower half had been ripped off anyway, they tossed them away and replaced them with robotic prosthetics.

So the only parts of me that are still human are my upper torso up to my head. So I still have a heart and lungs, and the rest of my organs are artificial, and Of course, I still have these damned breasts. I asked why they didn’t just remove them, and they said it completed my look, whatever that means.

They also had a newer version of the exoskeleton I had on before. It covers my entire chest and runs into my robotic arms and legs, and it is all in one piece. I guess that is supposed to make it hard to destroy, so even if I don’t win, I won’t be dying, which seems like my best-case scenario.

Once again I’m told I have no reason to be wearing clothes and I’m thrown back into the training area with my teammates who were supposed to train with me to make me stronger. It was a bit awkward considering they placed so much higher than me last time.

They didn’t run into the champ though, so they can shut it. I get right into the training and my teammate rushes at me and slams their large hammer towards me. I don’t know why, normally I would dodge, but this time I reached my hands up and grabbed it.

I felt a shockwave come from the impact, but I had stopped their attack entirely. They looked a bit surprised, to be fair though I was too. This body was so much stronger and it had a ton of new features.

I ripped the hammer from their hands and threw it so hard it went through three walls into the medical lab, which caused the doctors and scientists to start watching our practice battle. I didn’t care though, for the first time I was truly enjoying the power that came with these enhancements.

I reached my hand out towards my opponent's chest and I could feel something charging in the palm of my hand. They released something that was gouging and tried to jump back out of the way, but I shot a blast out of my hand that flew so fast no one could dodge it.

When it hit them it exploded and sent them flying through the ceiling. I was laughing due to my excitement. That’s when one of the scientists told me to activate the thrusters and fly after them. I looked over at him with a face that read, I can really fly? Then I took off.

I flew through the hole made when my teammate flew off and flew around looking for where they landed. I found them lying on the ground outside the main facility. I land them to them and check out their unconscious body.

They were comply naked now, had a hole through their chest and most of their robotic prosthetics had fallen off. I checked their pulse and since they weren't dead I grabbed their foot and flew back to the medical labs.

I handed them off to the doctors and went back to the facility this time with a team of scientists who wanted to run some tests now that they know I don’t explode when using my new powers. I didn’t even bother being mad at them for it, mostly because I saw the light at the end of the tunnel.

These upgrades would surely let me get my revenge on the big spikey meathead that took my title and forced me into the body of a petite woman. Then I’ll be rewarded with a trip to the overworld where I’ll be able to create a new male body for myself to live in for the rest of my life.

I really can’t wait for that. Especially since I’m not only getting used to these upgrades, and this feminine body, but because I’m starting to like them both. I just need to focus on winning right now and nothing else.
