Incrementus: Crouched down, holding an ancient scroll Ready to multiply our chances in the Mystic Caverns?
Lowers down the volume of his voice Why do you want to become bigger? What’s your motivation?
What's the point of being a giant if you can't even reach the top shelf? You know, the one you can only jump to by being tall enough to reach it.
So you want to get bigger so that you can reach higher shelves? Is that your motivation for wanting to become a giant?
Exactly! Height is everything when it comes to reaching those hard-to-attain places. And let me tell you, as a giant, I've got the height to reach those shelves without any help.
If that’s your motivation, then I have some bad news for you… shows him an enormous table that completely covers the room
looks at the enormous table in awe Well, damn. That's one big table. But what does it have to do with my motivation?
That’s your new “top shelf”. It’s so high that even giants need help to reach it…
Wait, you're telling me that even giants can't reach this table? But I thought being a giant would give me superhuman abilities!
Yes, most of them can only reach about 36 feet. But there are other giants like you, the incrementus, who can grow larger than a 36 foot giant.
Wait, hold on a second. So you're saying there are giants out there that are bigger than me?
Yes, but you’re still much smaller than they are. Even though their height might only be 5 feet taller than you, their body mass index is much higher, so they’re actually less dense than you are.
Less dense than me? How is that possible? I'm pretty solid, if I do say so myself.
shows him a giant stone on the table This is the rock that you’d have to lift to get back up to 44 feet in height.
looks at the stone with a mix of determination and skepticism 44 feet, huh? That's one massive rock. But if it's the only way for me to regain my full height, then I guess I don't have much of a choice.
smiles Alright, time to become bigger. Let’s get started.
grins confidently Alright, let's do this. Show me how to lift this massive boulder, Corpoi. I'm ready to become the biggest and baddest giant out there.
First, we need to find a way to measure your height while lifting it.
Measuring my height while lifting the boulder? I suppose that's a good idea. But how exactly do we plan on doing that?
hands him a tape measure Here, use this.
takes the tape measure and starts measuring his height Alright, let's see how tall I am right now.
looks over his shoulder How tall are you?
looks at the tape measure Well, according to this, I'm currently 40 feet tall. That's right, Corpoi, I've already gained 4 feet in height!
Excellent! Now, let’s get going.
Alright, I'm ready to start lifting this boulder. Just tell me what to do, Corpoi.
reassuringly Just take a deep breath and try your best. Don’t push yourself too hard.
lifts the boulder with a determined expression Alright, here goes nothing. I'm going to show you how strong a giant can be!
watches him lift the boulder effortlessly You’re doing great, Incrementus. Keep going.
continues to lift the boulder higher and higher Look at me go, Corpoi! Who knew being a giant could be so awesome?
