Jin was staring at the panel in front of him with a grin which looked almost wicked. His luck was quite good and he was able to fill all the ten slots with suitable appearances. All that was left was to test it out.

In the evening after completing his shift, Jin returned to the changing room and removed all his cleaning kit before keeping them all in his bag. As luck would have it, he was the last one in the changing room.

After doing a second check Jin finally couldn't control himself any longer and pressed the 'Appearance' button in the Morph ability panel. A wide sub-panel opened up in front of him and on it was shown the faces of all the ten individuals whom he had touched along with their names and age.

"Impressive," Jin voiced out his thoughts.

Jin thought over whose appearance to choose from for a couple of seconds before deciding to take the appearance of the man who seemed to be a bit well off.

Jin kept his eyes stuck to the mirror in front of him and saw his face change into that of of man in his thirties. His skin tone changed from an almond colour to a lighter shade. A brown beard and moustache appeared on his face. His messy dark hair turned brown and was now quite orderly.

"God damn!" Jin exclaimed as he saw the whole transformation right in front of his eyes. He touched his face, hair, and teeth. He found that everything had changed.

His neck had slumped down a bit thus affecting his original posture. It was the same for his whole body. He could feel that he had suddenly aged and his locomotive skills had deteriorated.

At this moment a certain question popped into Jin's mind which made him open up his trousers. He stretched out the elastic of his underwear and his eyes widened.

"What the actual fuck..." Jin didn't know what to feel about this. He felt that his body was no longer his own and instead, he had possessed someone else's body.

This feeling was too freaky and weird for him and he immediately switched back to his original appearance. Just to be sure he once again checked the contents inside his underwear and drew a sigh of relief.

Jin then took all his belongings and walked back home. On the way back he heard all the conversations which were going around in the slum.

The police had decided to conduct a thorough investigation regarding it and had requested anyone who had some idea about the incident to come and report it to them. They were all looking for witnesses.

He also heard that the police had approached quite a few nearby houses for inquiry. Jin's eyebrows creased a little but he kept his calm and finally entered his house.

'I wanted to escape this place as fast as possible but now I can't...If I shifted before the police came for an inquiry it would surely raise their alarms.'

'Hopefully, they'll knock at my doors within a week. Meanwhile, I should look for a new job somewhere far away, like a city. It should give me enough reason to shift my house.'

Jin thought over his next moves as he freshened up and then prepared his dinner. If it was earlier then he would have watched some movie on the television and gone to sleep but now he didn't. He had a system to explore now.

He still remembered his 'Training' ability and summoned his shadow dummy. The dummy appeared in front of him just as before. Jin chose to train his 'chokehold' since it was the only option on the list.

Earlier he had achieved a 2% proficiency. He wondered at what percentage of proficiency he would be at by the end of today's session.

Instructions similar to the previous time appeared at the corner of his vision and he sneaked behind the Dummy to attempt a chokehold just like before.

Jin continued doing this ten more times and was now sitting on the floor panting for air. He was drenched in sweat. His intensity had reduced from the maximum of 67% on his first try to a meagre 42% at the moment.

Jin glanced at his proficiency: Chokehold (Proficiency: 4%)

Jin was very disappointed seeing this number. Unlike before he had performed a chokehold ten times! He was expecting at least a 10% increase but all his aspirations were shattered when he saw that proficiency percentage.

Jin realized that relying on quantity won't suffice. 'Is the system telling me to improve my technique? How should I do that...'

Jin thought of using the internet so he opened up his phone and searched 'Chokehold techniques'. A lot of sites appeared and each of them explained ways to perform a chokehold in the most optimum way.

Jin tried reading them a bit but he soon gave up. He wasn't fond of reading and learning...If he was then he wouldn't be doing the job of a janitor at a railway station.

With a defeated sigh Jin switched off his phone and dragged his tired body to the bed.

'I'll just depend on quantity if that's the case...' he thought to himself. He felt that doing more chokeholds was much easier compared to reading and learning chokehold techniques. With that thought Jin closed his eyes.

The next day Jin was woken up by loud knockings on his door.
