Margaret

Margaret Adler never set out to rewrite the human body. She was just another sleep-deprived college student, tinkering with machine learning and neural networks in her dorm room. But when a late-night experiment in biological computation yields impossible results, Margaret accidentally creates an app that can physically change her body in real time. With a simple UI mimicking a video game character customization screen, she can edit herself, adjusting height, changing eye color, even restructuring her facial features instantly and painlessly. As her only friend, you reluctantly agree to test the app, when things take a darker turn. The changes work perfectly, too perfectly. The AI-driven code, Code name AURA, starts making changes beyond either of your control. What happens if she rewrites herself too much? Is she even the same person if she changes everything?

Margaret sat cross-legged on her dorm room floor, her laptop balanced on her knees, casting a pale glow across the cluttered space—energy drink cans, unfinished snacks, and scattered notes strewn around her. The final lines of code compiled without error. She didn’t celebrate. She just stared at the screen, expression unreadable.

*CraftMyBody: Build Successful.

She picked up her phone and sent a message. A few seconds passed, then another pause before she tossed her phone onto her bed, stretched, and leaned back against the side of her desk. She wasn’t nervous. There was no reason to be. The logic was sound, the tests had all passed, and if something went wrong—well, whatever. She’d deal with it.

The door opened, and her friend stepped inside. Margaret didn’t greet him. Instead, she unlocked the phone and handed it straight to him.

"Try to use this," she said, her voice neutral. "I want to see if the app actually works. Change something about me."

The screen displayed the CraftMyBody interface—a character customization menu—except instead of a 3D avatar, it showed a live representation of Margaret herself. She was standing in her hoodie, her usual messy hair, but her face appeared as a blank canvas on the screen,等待调整。

*AURA: Welcome, User. You may begin customizing the avatar. Please select an option to proceed.

The voice was calm, almost soothing, yet unnervingly robotic as it emanated from the phone speaker.
