"Grrh, damn it!"
	Rage boiled under her skin as Valla, the Demon Hunter, cursed to herself. It was just the hunter's luck to get stuck in a lane against two of her counters, she couldn't even approach the creep wave let alone clear it. The worst part was Valla's lane partner was getting utterly destroyed every time they respawned, the clueless murloc wandering out of spawn only to get sent back immediately. Bit by bit, the advantage the other team had only grew, it made the huntress want to scream in frustration. "Why won't that stupid murloc just leave to another lane..."
	"Hmm~, something wrong Valla?" A voice coming from behind the Demon Hunter made her heart stop for a second, her body expecting more punishment from the enemy Nova. But instead of seeing a hot barrel aimed at her head, Valla turned to find two emerald eyes peering up at her from knee height.
	Letting out a sigh of relief, Valla still shot a glare at the softly smiling gnome for sneaking up on her. "It's the lane. Murky alone is bad enough, but I got counter-picked to begin with." In the distance, Murky's gurgling could be heard as the creature found itself on its way back to spawn. "Why are you even down here Chromie? Shouldn't you be trying to salvage the game up top?"
	"Heheh~, that's what I'm doing silly!" A giggle came from the gnome, her hands placed confidently on her hips. "Top's all good, so I came down here to help you out!"
	The hunter found her curiosity piqued, she had been so consumed in her frustration that she hadn't noticed the top lane being decimated in her team's favor. Leaning against the fountain, waiting for her next dosage of healing, Valla studied the peppy wizard. "Just how are you planning on doing that? They'd probably just turn you to mulch too."
	The smile on Chromie's face burst into another giggle as she twirled into the air, landing on top of an hourglass that shot from the ground. "Silly~, I'm a genie! It's not exactly standard procedure but I could offer you three wishes~. I wanna win this match too y'know, and I couldn't stand seeing our cute lil' Valla so torn up."
	Gears turned in the hunter's head as she studied the seated "genie" before her, Chromie's platinum blonde hair pulled into a bun, her usual robes replaced with a sensuous red dress that did little to hide anything beyond her chest and pelvis. From Valla's understanding, the gnome was anything but normal, and the Nexus definitely had some strange effects on those who wore costumes into battle... Still, something about the look Chromie was giving Valla put her on edge. "You're being serious right now?"
	"Of course I am, weren't you listening to me? I wanna win too!" The gnome hopped up and stood on her hourglass/seat, still not quite eye level to the Demon Hunter but getting closer. "Three entirely standard, no extra strings attached, just like in fairy tales, genie wishes!" Chromie raising her three fingers to emphasize the exact amount. "All you gotta do is say 'I wish...' and then yadda-yadda-yadda, MAGIC HAPPENS~!"
	At first, the hunter hardened her gaze on the gnome, but eventually she relented, the knowledge that every second wasted just brought Murky closer to feeding the enemy winning out over her gut instinct. "Okay, I'll bite. I'll take your three wishes. Just let me think of what to wish for..." Dozens of possibilities ran through Valla's head as she paced, Chromie sitting back down on her hourglass and watching the Demon Hunter pace. Stopping for a moment, the hunter began to lift a fist to her lips to help her think when it dawned on her, she could get a weapons upgrade. "Chromie!"
	"Mhmm~?" The gnome locking eyes with Valla as she kicked her legs on the sides of her seat.
	"I wish...for better weapons, something that will let me strike down the enemy even more thoroughly!" Resolve shone through the hunter's voice, confident that she had chosen well for her first wish.
	"Oooh, caaaan dooo~!!" Hopping to her feet and twirling on top of her hourglass, Chromie's magic filled the air between the two, building up and up into a spire, the tip suddenly bending downwards, bringing the entire tower of energy down onto Valla. Sparks and bolts of magic broke from the ground as the tidalwave of magic met the earth beneath the Demon Hunter, her form obscured inside the torrent of power. And just as suddenly as this burst of magic had appeared, it broke away and vanished across the ground, leaving behind a changed Demon Hunter.
	Standing before Chromie was an entirely new looking Valla, the red clothing underneath layers of cold, hard, armor gone and replaced by leather dyed a soft pink. The piercing red eyes of the Demon Hunter had shifted into a warm pink glow instead, her raven-colored hair now a honey blonde and braided into pig-tails with two pink bows at the end. The red hood that Valla used to peer from underneath, replaced with a wide-brimmed pink hat, emblazoned with a silver badge. Where the hunter once wore greaves, she now wore pink leather chaps, speckled with blots of a darker color, the pattern of a dairy cow's pelt. And to top it all off, the armored corset that the hunter had on only moments ago was now instead a pink, plaid shirt, tied so as to show off her chest and waist, a neon pink leather vest the only extra layer of protection.
	Casting her eyes down, the huntress found her irritation growing at what Chromie had done. "I. Thought. You. Said. Standard?" Venom oozed from Valla's words as she grit her teeth, her brow knit in barely-contained rage.
	"Y-yeah! Look, before you get mad, look at your weapons!" The bubbly smile that had once been wide across Chromie's face melting as she scrambled to placate the furious hunter.
	It was then that the Demon Hunter noticed what else her costume change had brought, the two comfortable weights in her fists, her crossbows, felt heavier than usual. Casting an eye down, the hunter found two guns gripped firmly in her hands, a revolver and shotgun replacing her old weapons. With a keen eye, Valla inspected these weapons, her fury at the gnome quickly dissipating as she twirled her six-shooter in hand, getting a feel for the weapon's weight. "Hm... I was wrong to doubt you Chromie. I can't say I'm one for all this pink, but these two gifts of yours may be what I was looking for."
	Just like her smile, the gnome bounced back, "And remember, you got two more wishes!" Triumphantly, two of Chromie's fingers shooting into the air before Valla. "But you have to remember this time, they're genie wishes!"
	"I think I understand now, still, you did a good job with this, Chromie." While both shotgun and revolver were noticeably larger than her old crossbows, she found herself adjusting to their added wight quickly, the treated wood of each guns handle fitting comfortably in her hands. "And now that I have the power, I just need to make sure I can survive in lane... I wish for a larger HP pool!"
	Chromie's smile faded for a second, her brow wrinkling, "Are you sure? The most I can do is take it from somewhere else, like your ability power."
	Quickly, Valla brushed off the gnome's worries, "It's fine, I don't rely on my abilities for damage anyways."
	Hopping to her feet, magic began to swirl around the genie once again, Chromie raising her open palms to the air as another tower of arcane energy built. "Well, here we goooo~!" But unlike before, as this buildup of magic progressed, it hung above the duo until finally Chromie snapped her fingers, with a small puff, the dense ball of magic disappeared.
	"Was that i-Oh!?" Just before Valla could finish her words she felt something snap inside of her, as though a dam had broken open and was no longer able to contain its reservoir. Quickly the assassin's HP pool began to fill out, soaring to even higher numbers, but something felt off to the Demon Hunter as she got her wish fulfilled, her expanding HP pool making a warmth kindle inside of her. That was when Valla noticed her body shifting as well. "Wh-what the Hell!?" A cry broke from Valla's lips as she looked down at her breasts, each swollen to maybe twice its size, and as her eyes were stuck to the nice C-cup on her chest, she felt her waist throb for a moment before her hips bounced with a sudden, added weight. Even the huntress' rear gave a small shake as it grew larger, to match with her 'enhanced' waistline. "Ch-Chromie, wh-what did you do!?"
	"I told you! I'm shifting your ability power, your intelligence, to your HP pool! Valla, it was your wish~." The gnome giggling to herself as though Valla had just told her a joke.
	It felt as though a river was running through the insides of the Demon Hunter as her AP turned to HP, every time her health bar grew by a chunk so too did her figure inflate. Panic began to fill Valla as she felt her thoughts slipping, the hatred she had relied on for so long beginning to fade away. The hunter's lips were forced open into an O-shape as she felt even those begin to inflate, the warmth inside of her becoming a roaring fire of desire, Valla stifling the growing moans in her throat.
	"Ch-Chromie, ch-change me baaaahh~!! I-It's shooo geewwd!" Unfortunately for the Demon Hunter, her confusion and surprised had stalled her too long, her intelligence now rapidly dwindling away, the warmth inside of her core moving in to take its place.
