Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 821: BDD - PEDs

I was about to leave Jose to find someone else to be with tonight but for some reason, he followed after Isaac and Zyra. I'm not entirely sure as to why he did that because he already conceded the first time when I was involved, why was Isaac any different?

In any case, I just shrugged my shoulders and found Quinn who was still working on more than the engine of Mr. Alvarez's vehicle, but it seemed like she doesn't want to talk. She looked that focused on her work and I wouldn't want to catch a wrench with my head if I somehow disturb her.

'Better leave her alone and find Kaley and Tatiana…'

Reaching the 2nd floor of the garage, I found the two unpacking because, to my surprise, Quinn's floor and her private room were as clean as they could get.

Kaley saw me from the corner of her eye, "Oh? I thought you were hanging out with Jose and Isaac?"

"Yeah…" I chuckled as I gave them the story.

"Hahaha! Well~ Zyra seemed cool, I wouldn't mind if she joined us sometime…"

"Uh-huh… Quinn's already a handful, I'm afraid of more people like her trying to wear me like a bracelet. Have you seen everyone here? Everyone's jacked to fuck, especially the women…"

"What's wrong with that? Aren't you jacked? We're also kinda—"

"Kaley, our bodies—Tatiana included—are achieved naturally. Quinn might have the rare .001% genetics to achieve a body like that but I'm telling you, some of them must be on something. It could be GH, HRT, SARMS, or fuck it, let's say some 'roids but the dosage must be kept to the minimum. Even so, it still shows."

"Again, what's wrong with that?"

"Nothing in particular but whatever they're taking will soon run out. But yeah, some of them could also be naturally gifted—like you, but for the ones who aren't, their mental is gonna take a hit."

Kaley completely ignored my compliment, "Wait, how?"

Tatiana moved over to the bar and inspected the liquor cabinets, "Yeah, how?"

I sat down on the couch as I let out a bitter chuckle, "The two of you had perfect bodies from the start but like me who had to work hard—no, harder to get in shape, I know the feeling all too well. But yeah, now, the feeling of it doesn't affect me as much but—"

Kaley interjected, "Are you talking about Body Dysmorphia?"

"Exactly."

Tatiana took a swig of Vodka from the bar, "What now?"

I answered, "Hmm~ The short explanation is if you look in the mirror and what you see or perceive is different from what you actually look like. I'm not talking about a fat guy thinking that he looks like Chris Bumstead, Ronnie Coleman, or Arnold Schwarzenneger in the mirror but the complete opposite.

It's generally seeing every flaw—even nonexistent ones that affects your head that it even interferes with our ability to function."

Tatiana faintly nodded, "Hmm~ Well, it do be like that sometimes… I used to feel like that too."

Kaley turned to Tatiana, "'It do be like that?' Are you drunk already?" then she turned to me, "I still feel that way sometimes too, it's not just the people here, you know? It happens to everyone."

"Ah— right, I'm sorry. I just assumed it never happened to you two but I guess it's kinda different for people who actually used PEDs or had cosmetic surgeries to 'correct' whatever flaw they have?"

"Hmm~ I didn't think of it that way… Huh."

"Hmm?"

"Well, I didn't think we've talked about this topic before… Especially in this type of environment…"

"C'mon, keeping our bodies in peak condition is one of the most important things in the apocalypse. Strength and fitness are on the list but looking good has some merits too. We need to feel good about how we look sometimes, no?"

"True…"

Tatiana suddenly spoke, "What's this green stuff? Absinthe—"

Quinn's voice suddenly boomed from the first floor, "NO ONE'S FUCKING TOUCHING THAT WHILE I'M NOT THERE!"

Tatiana picked up the bottle and rested her arms on the railing, "What's this stuff? I haven't had this yet. And yeah, your ears are something else, huh?"

"We're just in a large room, hard to not hear everything you're saying. But yeah, I agree with what you three are talking about."

"Which one?"

"That I have an awesome body. However, I dabbled on gear when Mi— yeah, I dabbled on gear before but I stopped five years ago. I already have a hard time finding clothes—let alone a bra, I shouldn't get bigger as is."

I walked over the railing and rested my arms on it as well, "Really? I thought you were 100% natural. How long have you used PEDs? I'm guessing only for a year or two?"

"How can you fucking tell?!"

"Well~ You're voice isn't as deep and your clit isn't that big either—"

"YOU! STOP TALKING ABOUT MY CLIT! IT ISN'T THAT BIG!"

"That's what I was saying! It's kinda big but it's proportional to the rest of your body!"

Kaley eventually joined us by the railing, "Is having a big clit signify PED use?"

"Not exactly because there are a few people that have bigger clits than normal but yeah, it's one of the symptoms along with having a deeper voice for women—even growing facial hair in some cases. It's different for whatever you're taking."

Quinn took off her gloves and stood up from her seat, "You have a lot of knowledge on this thing for someone that claims that they're natural."

I let out a chuckle, "Honestly? I thought of doing it before but I'm not joining any competitions of any sort. And yeah, I still want to be able to scratch my back and not bother who I'd be sitting next to in an airplane. I'm happy with where I'm currently at right now.

Besides, I'm still BIG down there, it would've shrunk if I started using gear, totally opposite from what you guys might encounter if you get on the juice."

Quinn suddenly had an epiphany, "Yeah, don't use it. A lot's riding on it! LITERALLY!"

"HAHAHAHAHA!"

"DON'T FUCKING LAUGH! IT'S HARD TO FIND A PERSON LIKE YOU WITH A DICK THAT HUGE! DILDOS CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH! I STILL PRETTY MUCH PREFER THE REAL THING!"

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! A NATTY AND A NUTTY DICK!"

"PFFT! FUCK THIS SHIT, I'M GOING BACK TO WORK! DON'T DRINK MY ABSINTHE! HAVE ANYTHING ELSE BESIDES THAT!"

For some reason, the talk we just had made the three of us want to lift some weights but I strongly advised Tatiana against it because she already had a few drinks of alcohol. With that said, the lights for the open gym were already turned on and a few people were already working out.

It was only a few minutes past 6 PM and I assumed this was some people's free time.

But to my surprise, Isaac and Jose were present in the gym and Jose was putting Isaac through a beginner's workout.

'I thought they were— Lemme just ask them…'

"Yo," I came up to the two who were on one of the flat benches.

Jose turned to me with a bitter expression, "Don't ask."

Isaac rested the bar on the bench before sitting up, "I told you, we shouldn't do that."

Tatiana asked, "Do what?"

Isaac proudly puffed his chest out, "As a member of the NoFap community and a follower of the knight's code—"

I quickly left the scene, "Alright, I'm out. I'll head over the squat rack over there~"

Kaley followed, "Your disciple's… unique…"

"He's not my disciple…"

Tatiana quickly caught up, "That guy's funny. He actually just tucked Zyra into her bed and did nothing. Holy fuck, hahaha! That's fucking rare, I tell ya."

With that said, the three of us made our way to an open squat rack and we were greeted by one of Quinn's mechanics—Coleen, who was using the nearby Smith Machine with two plates on each side. She had the same physique as Zyra but her quads and her ass were more prominent.

"Doing squats too?"

"Just us two, Tatiana's just here to watch."

Tatiana quickly asked, "Are you natural?"

Coleen let out a chuckle, "My tits or~?"

I interjected, "Sorry, she had a few drinks before she came here and we were just talking about gear earlier—"

"No problem, what do you think though?"

I let out a faint smile, "Your tits or~?"

"Hah! Anything you're looking at~"

"Well~"

Before I got to answer, the one in charge of their logistics—Anne, came up and loaded two more plates on the machine Coleen was using. Each plate weighed 45 lbs(20.4 kg) and now it had 6 plates in total, weighing 270 lbs(122.7 kg).

Anne turned to us, "Hey, getting a warmup in too?"

Kaley shook her head, "Warmup? That's way~ past my working set…"

Tatiana scoffed, "I think I could do that—"

I quickly grabbed her tipsy ass, "NO!"
