2 A New Beginning

???: ???: ???: ??? 2216.08.17 AC. ???

Alexander woke with a massive headache. He groaned as he tried to sit up from his bed, but to his dismay, he couldn't even move a muscle. He tried to open his eyes, and he could see! But he could have sworn that he didn't feel his eyelids move. He could just... see. Before him, was a beautiful woman. He tried to ask her what was happening but his damned lips couldn't move. The beautiful woman smiled at him with a reassuring smile and opened her lips.

"Don't worry agents your arrival as a bodyless psychic energy was well anticipated."

Alexander started panicking even more. <<I am no bodyless whatchamacallit>> He tried to turn his head to see behind himself, and he saw them. Hundreds, no thousands upon thousands of bodyless masses of gases of different colors: Blue, red, green, purple, pink, there were some who were white or black colored. <<Oh my fucking god.>> Alexander looked down at himself and he saw it.<<No way I can't be one of them, I can't!>> He was just another mass of gas between the thousands of others.

The beautiful woman stopped before Alexander and knelt down to reassure him. "Don't worry beautiful I will give you my blessing and make you into the strongest mortal that ever walked the realms."

After that Alexander blacked out again.

Landing Point:Wilderness: Northern continent: 6579.03.21 LB (Loki's betrayal)

When he came to, he sat up abruptly, breathing heavily. "Thank god it was just a weird dre..." Alexander sighed until he noticed that there was something wrong with his voice. It had a high pitch tune to it, that his 20 years old voice shouldn't have. He looked down at himself and gasped as he saw his or rather her naked form. She had breasts. And his little friend who kept him company for the past 20 years disappeared without a trace. While trying to keep her calm she looked around and she saw four humanoids just sitting up. They must have been waking up just now like her and were examining themselves. There were 3 males and one female. They too seemed to be in some kind of shock. Alexander tried to get up, but his different anatomy didn't allow her to stand the way she was used to. So she faceplanted herself into the grass of the clearing. When she moved her face to the left she saw something that shouldn't have been there. A huge batlike wing was on her left side. She instantly snapped her head to the right only to see the pair of the left batlike wing. She jumped up shrieking and drawing the attention of the 4 others on the clearing, Alexander then fell on her buttocks while her breathing sped up to the pace of hyperventilation. Sobs shook her shoulders. One of the men came closer and put a hand on her shoulder

"Are you okay miss?" He asked soothingly.

"No!" She sobbed " I am not!"

Everyone tried to console Alexander. They asked her what the problem was, or they tried to reassure her. As they were doing that someone coughed. The time froze for all but Alexander.

"Hello, Alexander. My name is Lucifer" said as he appeared from thin air. " I can see that the change what you underwent under Freya shook you more than I anticipated.

"Who are you?" asked Alexander "How do you know me? What happened to me?" By the last question, Alexander had been shrieking at Lucifer.

Lucifer didn't take the tone to the heart. "I am the Lucifer. Known as the ruler of hell, or as the fallen angel, or as Satan himself. Although none of them are accurate it is what I am called."He shrugged at that" But to be honest I am still in contact with Heaven. This isn't the main question now, is it?"He laughed gently at that" To answer the third question, in a way you have been corrected. You were supposed to be born as a girl but God made a mistake and gave you a boy's body."

"But I like women! How can it be a mistake that I got a boy's body then?"

"Because you have been raised to like girls. You know what, I will keep this our little secret from your team." He winked at Alexander and with that time started moving again. "Hello everyone my name is Lucifer, yes I am the fallen angel from the Legends. No, I am not some evil mastermind that took you from earth to plot against heaven. You have been taken from Earth because you all were dissatisfied with your lives there and I have brought you to Midgard so that you can start over from scratch. I have taken around 10 million humans from earth and brought all of you to Midgard. Every 10 day I will send down another team of 5 here but that will have to wait. You five are the forerunners of my agents. I need you to get everything ready. To pave the way for your brothers and sisters. You were chosen because of your exceptionalness in certain areas. You five are the first from Earth at Midgard. All of you loved video games so what I will tell you will not be too foreign. Here in Midgard, everyone has a status screen where they can check everything about themselves, Their stats, skills, spells, lvl, gender, eye color, height, the list goes on and on. Here everything is quantified you can will your vision to show a quantified measure of your health and you can also will your vision to show buffs and debuffs on you. Will your status page up and give yourselves names before any contact with the world outside or there could be unspeakable consequences.

Alexander willed up his status page.

A prompt came up:

Alexander thought about it for a bit and then she felt it.

"So that is where my wings came from!" jumped up Lagiel shocked by the sudden revelation. There were more shocked cries from the other four.

"I see all of you have found out about the boons I got my friends to gift out to my agents.-Lucifer smiled a rueful smile.- And I can see that Freya took special care of you dear Lagiel... Sometimes she can be... a tiny bit overwhelming." Grinned Lucifer while Lagiel was gritting her teeth."Well now that it is all concluded you can choose your classes and begin your survival game" Lucifer told the 5 "players" in a sing-song voice then he disappeared. Everyone was frozen in place as if time had frozen. Then Lagiel stammered "H... He left u... us n... naked in t...the middle of a damned forest? He really left us here naked?" she took a deep breath to calm herself while everyone else started to panic as well."Impossible, impossible..." mumbled one of the guys he must have had some kind of an orcish heritage from the way he looked. The guy, who his hand on her shoulder from when he was trying to console her, was shaking. She could feel it through his hand. As she looked up at him for the first time she noticed that his skin was as black as the night itself and the terror of the unknown was embedded into his deep red eyes. Lagiel from her knowledge of fantasy concluded, that he must be a drow or dark elf. Although she could not see if he had pointy ears because of his long and disheveled mane it was quite obvious that he had elven heritage from his facial visage and body. The last guy was a gnome around 3 feet tall or so, she guessed since he was sitting on the grass of the clearing and looking at the spot where Lucifer disappeared. The other girl was taking in the news quite well it seemed, she seemed to be some sort of a demoness, she had long horns and a tail. She had a bright ruby red hair and a very charming face. She was looking around as well and when she saw Lagiel's gaze, she nodded.

Lagiel got up and shook, the Drow who was holding her, lightly. "Hey man wake up getting stunned won't help us survive" she tried to wake him up. The eyes of the Drow instantly focused on her and then he smiled in an amused manner. And that is when they heard the huge slap. The demoness, who had slapped the guy with the orcish heritage through his cheek, was grinning like a mad woman even though she was jumping up and down from how much her palm hurt. The orcish guy looked pretty dazed after that hit but the sound broke the gnome out of his self-pity as he was looking horrified at the orc who flew a good meter before landing and then at his puny height.

"Now that I have everyone's attention, ouch you iron skinned ogre, my name is Kyleena I am a tifeling it is something like a half demon half human mix." she grinned at the others "Now ogre identify yourself." She put on her best, wicked looking smile which just looked cute on her even after she managed to send someone about 1.5 times as large as herself flying.

"Sigh I am half orc-elf I don't want to know how this came to be. Oh, and my name is Garrot."

"My name is Melior and I am a gnome of some sort." chirped in the little guy fearfully.

"What about you handsome?" Kyleena winked at the Drow.

"My name is Theron." said the drow while smiling at Lagiel."And what about you, you clumsy draconoid?"

"Huh?"Lagiel first didn't even realize that she was asked a question." Oh, my name it is Lagiel." She chuckled awkwardly

Kyleena clapped once then got back to holding her palms from the agony of it still hurting. even though Garrot already looked fine."We... ugh... need to create a well-rounded team that is capable of exploration but we can not lack knowledge of things like cooking, weaponsmithing, building, administration, tailoring, alchemy, mining, herbalism, woodworking, scribing, etc...but let's start with the group my stats are the following: Str: 15 (+2), Con: 13(+1), Dex: 16(+3), Int: 12(+1), Wis: 12(+1), Cha: 6 (-2) and my E: 18(+4) and I have 4/5 hp points left

"You barbaric woman why did you even hit me if you couldn't take it."Growled Garrot clearly irritated. " My stats are the following tho: Str:16(+3), Con: 13(+1), Dex: 7(-2), Int: 14(+2), Wis: 13(+1), Cha: 8(-1) and my E is 18(+4) as well. I have an hp of 5/5."

"Well even though I might not be the strongest of us I am fairly certain that I could fill in the role of a rogue or mage with these statistics:"purred Theron with his silky voice"Str:10(0), Con:13(+1), Dex:18(+4), Int:17(+3), Wis:15(+2), Cha:16(+3) my hp is 5/5"

"Well I have high wisdom and charisma so I could go for the priest role in our little group" chirped Melior the gnome."Str:8(-1),Con:12(+1),Dex:10(0), Int:15(+2), Wis:17(+3), Cha:16(+3) and my Essence point's are maxed as well and a health point maximum at 5 points." They all looked at Lagiel expectantly

"Oh, my Stats? Well i have this rather unbalanced stat page:" she laughed sheepishly"Str:18 (+4), Con: 7 (-2), Dex: 14 (+2), Wis: 12 (+1), Int: 10 (+0), Cha: 22 (+6), E: 18 (+1), and i have 2/2 hp."

"Hmmm you do look sickly pale, to be honest" mumbled Theron to himself." I can hear you, you know." Lagiel growled back

"It's okay to Lagg but you don't have to be mean about it Lag" Melior chirped in to try to ease the tension. But he just made her angrier,"If I hear that joke ever again, "she seethed " I. Will. Kill.You." She forcefully calmed herself "I will choose a sorcerer class to compliment my high charisma and something that might help me in a close range fight for my high strength." Lagiel stated in a tone that didn't accept anything but a no. Then she opened her stat page and then the class possibilities:

-Fighters:

-warrior

-paladin

-knight

-dragonlord

-rogue

-ranger

-monk

-archer

-Magic user:

-wizard(unspecialised)

-sorcerer(you get schools from your bloodline)

Lagiel chose sorcerer and she got a prompt:

I welcome you, new sorcerer to the Land of Midgard, from your bloodlines you have gotten 4 schools of magic:

-You were given the shapeshifter magic from your draconic ancestors.

-You were given the psi magic from your draconic ancestors.

For this unprecedented bloodline purity of both High elf and Deep dragon you have been granted a boon: Purity of Blood

Purity of Blood: The two different types of blood in your veins are so perfectly in harmony that they make your spells harder to resist: +2% effectiveness to your spells.

This last prompt reinforced her feeling in the rightness of her choice.

As a sorcerer, you get 0-4 (-2)hp every lvl up with a minimum of 0 health points. You are also entitled to 16(+0*4) skill points at first lvl and 4(+0) other at every other lvl.

As a sorcerer with one of the purest bloodlines, you unlock 4 extra spells on every lvl apart from those unlocked already. You start with 4 lvl 0 spells in each school and 1 lvl 1:

As a sorceress with a strong bloodline, you get to cast a lot more spells than those without one. You get to cast 10 lvl 0 spells from your draconic bloodline at lvl 1 and 5 lvl 0 spells from your elven heritage at lvl 1. Because you have the Purity of Blood boon as a sorcerer you get another 3 lvl 0 spells at lvl 1 this in total gives you 18 lvl 0 spell casts a day. After you have used those spell casts you can't cast again until your body has rested the tiredness of those spells cast. At lvl 1 you also get to cast 4 lvl 1 spells from your draconic bloodline 1 lvl 1 spell from your elven heritage and another one from your purity of blood. In total, you can cast 6 lvl 1 spells a day.

Spells cast:

-0/18 lvl 0

-0/6 lvl 1

As a sorceress you get the following equipment to survive in the wilds(thank Lucifer for this) :

-Dragon sorceress clothes basic (dusk orange)

-Dragon sorceress pouch (orange-brown)

-Elementary sorcery staff

-Dragon sorceress dagger

-survival kit basic (green)

Lagiel was astonished at this. As she looked over at the others everyone has dressed up already and they each had a huge pack beside them full of items. Kyleena was dressed in the simplest of clothes: a tunic although a bit revealing but still not too bad altogether, she also had oversized cloth pants which were held on her by a cloth strip. For shoes, she had a sandal on her feet and she was holding a quarterstaff in her hand without any designs or what so ever, she also had a simple looking dagger on her waist. Melior was dressed in a black tunic that covered his whole length, he had a morningstar in his hand and a gnome-sized norman type shield on his back. Garrot had a chainmail vest, studded leather pants and gloves, a bastard sword and a knight's shield. He also had a dagger on his waist. Theron was dressed in a full studded leather armor. He had two long curved wicked looking knives on his waist a bow on his back and a quiver which could be closed and opened at convenience. All of them looked really good. Except for her. She had a feeling that Freya was behind her outfit because of how skimpy it looked. The dragon sorceress basic clothes covered basically nothing. It had a long cloak and mid-thigh high boots but apart from that, it looked like a really fancy underwear. Or a really really high lvl armor in the mmorpgs back on earth. And above that, she could only cast 24 spells each day not counting her racial spells.

"What's the problem Lagiel?" Asked Kyleena seeing her expression "Well, how should I put it... I did choose sorcerer because that seemed like the best choice because of my high charisma statistic but I can only cast about 24 spells each day not counting the racial spells that I got and..."

"You can cast 24 spells and you are so downtrodden?" Shouted an angry Melior "I can only cast 13 spells each day! And you even have racial spells!" Melior looked so mad at these fact's that he looked like he was about to explode. At the same time, Lagiel found Melior's face coupled with his priest attire so funny that she burst out laughing. Everyone looked at her smitten or amazed. Even Garrot and Theron, who were really focusing on their prompts, looked up at her voice their eyes widening. She instantly stopped laughing, embarrassed. "No, no, you can continue..." Melior encouraged her " You look beautiful and your laug..."

After this statement, Lagiel's mood instantly changed for the worse "Like I would care about that!" She hissed annoyed as she stormed away.

"...ter... Ummm... did I say anything wrong?" Melior asked in a confused tone from Kyleena

"Not that I know of." Kyleena shrugged. "But come on, us women are hard to understand even from our own perspective!" "KRUNCH" They heard a loud noise coming from the way Lagiel left. "I think we should catch up with her before our little beauty kills herself in her anger" Kyleena shouted as she ran after Lagiel trying to catch up with her.
