Chapter 202 I'm Going To Die!
[Part 12/12 of today's Mass release! Here you go fellas! Big Shout-out to Dirtydew!]
Brrrrr! Brrrrr! Brrrrr! Brrrrr! Brrrrr! Brrrrr!
Hugo groggily dragged himself into the bathroom, his eyes half open, his brain still booting up like an old computer.
His mind was running on autopilot, just like every morning—pee, brush teeth, maybe check abs if feeling narcissistic enough—but the moment he stood next to the wall, something felt different.
He squinted at his reflection. Then at the stickers he had placed onto the wall weeks ago.
They seemed a little lower than before?
Wait... was he standing taller?
His sleepy brain took a second to catch up. Then, with the urgency of a detective solving a crime, he turned to his measuring marks on the wall.
He lined himself up. Calmed himself and measured as well as he could. Then checked again.
5'9.
...
"Wow! wasn't i just 5'8 the beginning of this week?!"
Hugo stumbled back, staring at the mark like it contained the great mysteries of life.
To think he would be growing so fast way after his growth spurt! This system was absolutely miraculous!
"If I keep growing like this, I'll be dunking on fools in the NBA by next year! The world isn't ready for a 6'6 Hugo with a 40-inch vertical! I'll be UNSTOPPABLE!"
He contemplated whether he should use his mastery Points on something like basketball mastery but decided against it.
It would take too long for him to start making a lot if money no matter how skilled he was. But still, this growth was very good for other aspects of his life!
His excitement shot through the roof. But then, as all great men of culture would, he glanced down at his other department—because, let's be honest, priorities.
He checked.
He measured.
He froze.
He grinned.
Standing tall. Standing proud. Standing at a glorious NINE inches.
"LET'S GOOOOOOOO!!!"
Hugo threw his fist into the air, barely stopping himself from doing a victory lap around the bathroom.
"MY BOY! MY CHAMPION! MY UNDEFEATED WARRIOR! YOU'VE ASCENDED TO NEW HEIGHTS!"
"Yo, Old Rick," Hugo greeted cautiously.
Rick grinned lazily, waving his clippers in the air like a wizard holding a magic wand. "Ah... if it isn't the young prince... back for his royal grooming. Your highness..."
'Oh yeah. He's gone. He's totally gone.'
Alarm bells blared incessantly in Hugo's mind and his whole body entered danger mode.
Hugo's body moved on its own, his feet already stepping backward toward the door. "Actually, you know what? I think I—"
BZZZZT!
Rick clicked the clippers on, tilting his head. "Leaving already, boy?"
'RUN. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE.'
"Uh, yeah—"
THWIP!
In one smooth motion, Old Rick twirled his comb like a ninja throwing star and stabbed it into the wall right next to Hugo's face.
Hugo's soul left his body. Blood drained from his face and his eyes widened dangerously.
Rick smirked, tapping the clippers against his palm. "Sit down, son."
His voice left no room for argument. It had the finality of a villain.
"I'M GOING TO DIE."
Why had he even decided to come to this barbershop? Was he tired of having a normal scalp?
Sweat dripped down Hugo's neck as he slowly, reluctantly, backed away from the door... and into the barber chair.
At this point, there was nothing he could do. He had to take the chair!
Rick spun the chair around dramatically. "Now... what style you want?"
