If I could directly alter my genetic structure...
Then everything would be so much easier.
I might become the legendary perfect being.
Flesh Proliferation, Thousand Transformations.
Wings, scales, hollow bones. All kinds of inhuman organs.
I could even grow three hearts and eight kidneys inside my body.
It would all be as easy as a thought.
Nara Dan fantasized about the paths that might lie ahead.
Of course, I could also rely purely on my body's ability to adapt.
