Emerald Metamorphosis into Luigi
1 Points
A gentle rustling filled the air as I leafed through the well-worn pages of an old adventure novel. The quiet solace of my living room had always served as a perfect backdrop for my moments of escapism, letting me dream away the humdrum of everyday life. Lost in another world, I couldn't foresee the adventure I was about to embark on, one more incredible than any penned by human hands.
A peculiar green hue found its way to my peripheral vision, pulling my attention from the book. I glanced down to find the pages of my novel glowing a brilliant emerald. "What in the world?" I muttered.
Before I could react, a warm sensation enveloped my fingers, spreading up my arms and into my chest. My living room started to dissolve, the comforting walls of my home melting into a pixelated swirl of vivid colors. Panic hit first. I wanted to drop the book, but my hands wouldn't obey.
"No! What's happening?"
The panic was soon replaced by a strange, tingling warmth that surged through my body. I watched in horror as my reflection in the TV screen changed. My brown hair turned a deep, chestnut shade, shortening and molding into a familiar wave. My rugged jeans and t-shirt shifted into indigo overalls and a bright green shirt. A pair of cartoonish white gloves appeared on my hands and brown plumber shoes clasped themselves around my feet. The transformation was swift, like watching an old VHS tape being fast-forwarded.
"Help! This can't be real!" I shouted, attempting to cling to some semblance of reality. But the resistance was futile; muscles expanded and relaxed, aging my frame to mid-twenties while simultaneously shrinking to a petite 4.1 feet. A green hat, emblazoned with a white "L," materialized on my head. As every inch of my being morphed, my mind waged its own battle.
Moments from a life not my own began to flood in— Mario saving me from Boos, running through the Mushroom Kingdom, hiding in terror from the mansion's ghosts. My very thoughts were being rewritten, and no matter how hard I tried to remember my own life, the memories slipped through my grasp like sand through fingers.
"Stop... please..." I pleaded, tears streaming down my now-rosy cheeks. But the memories intensified, becoming sharper and more dominant. I was Luigi, younger brother to Mario, the timid yet good-natured plumber.
"Eh, Mario won't believe his eyes!" An alien yet familiar voice, my voice yet not mine, slipped from my lips. Confusion swirled around me as the transformation neared completion.
My living room had entirely faded, replaced by the verdant expanse of the Mushroom Kingdom. The sky above was a brilliant cerulean, dotted with fluffy clouds that bore smiles. I felt lighter, more agile, as I bounced slightly on the springy grasses. Fear was dissolving, replaced by a sense of belonging.
"Mama mia! I'm-a Luigi!" The words left my lips naturally, like they always had. I scanned my surroundings, my heart now beating with excitement rather than fear. Any trace of my previous life was gone, sealed away beneath Luigi's indomitable persona.
"Luigi! Over here!" Mario's familiar voice echoed from behind a warp pipe. I felt an inexplicable rush of joy at the sound. My mind no longer fought, it welcomed, basked in everything that screamed familiarity.
I dashed forward, heart pounding with exhilaration. My brother needed me, and that was all that mattered now.
"Luigi, are you alright?" Mario asked with genuine concern flashing in his eyes. Memories of countless adventures, battles, and victories danced behind them.
"I’m-a fine, Mario!" I responded confidently, giving a thumbs-up. "Let's-a go save the Princess!"
As I stood with Mario, the haunting echo of a past life that had once fought for recognition was but a whisper in the wind. Now, I was the ever-loyal, sometimes fearful, yet always courageous Luigi, forever part of the whimsical world of Super Mario. The transformation was complete, both physical and mental, leaving no trace of the human reader who once was.

AI Prompts
Prompt: Write the POV transformation of a male human reader turning into Luigi (from the Super Mario franchise), complete with clothes change, slight weight gain, age progression, height change, reality change (the reader's real world becoming the world of Super Mario), and mind/mental change (with the reader's mind being permanently and completely replaced with Luigi's personality and memories, despite his best efforts on fighting them, making the reader completely forget all about his past self and remember that he was and always had been Luigi). For Luigi's appearance (after the reader turned into him), he is a taller, younger brother of Mario, and usually wears a green shirt, dark blue overalls, a pair of cartoonish white gloves, brown plumber shoes, and a green hat with a green "L" insignia. Being the younger twin of Mario, Luigi is presumed to be 24 years old and has a height of 49 inches (4.1 feet or 124.5 centimeters) tall. Although Luigi is a plumber like Mario, other facets of his personality vary from game to game; Luigi always seems nervous and timid, but is good-natured and can keep his temper better than his brother. He is voiced by Charles Martinet. There should also be quotes from the characters in this story so we know what they're saying and what they're thinking.
