2 Accidental Modification

'Ugh, I feel weird.'

After losing consciousness, the goddess gave him the necessary energy to become whole again. To him, who only had a blurry memory of his past and knew himself only as a small part of the whole, found himself feeling quite awkward and bloated.

'What is this blue screen! Why can't I understand anything it says?'

Unbeknownst to the goddess, who used this soul's previous language, he did not fully remember what the English language was. Not knowing what to do he choose to wait.

'If I make a mistake, I might regret it. What if she doesn't come back? Will I be stuck here forever? She can't just have left me without making sure I don't mess things up, right?'

Looking back at the screen, he noticed that some letters made sense, sort of, he guessed.

'Hmm, that squiggly line, it looks oddly familiar. Something in my past reminds me of it. S... Sa... My… My son's name! Samuel! Samuel!'

Finally remembering who he sacrificed his life for, this poor soul screamed the name without restraint. Without the goddess's influence, his emotions broke out like a dam. Unable to hold back, he began sobbing pitiful cries that would tremble any decent person's heart.

'I am so sorry I left you, Samuel! I am so so sorry! I love you my dearest SON!! Please be okay. I would give anything to be with you again!'

After what felt like ages, the soul finally started to collect itself enough to look back at the screen. Unlike before, he understood a few words.

'Sy… Syteam? No System, she said that she would unlock a system within me. That means that the second word is Unlocked not Unalokead.'

Finally making progress, he started his attempt to decipher this strange code. Word after word he attempted to sound each out, but unlike the two words on top, he could not make heads or tales of the rest.

'AHH! I just don't get it!!! And especially those circles and lines on the second line! What is that double circle things even suppose to be?'

Becoming restless and impatient, he made the mistake that would change his life forever. He decided to press the last option since it was not categorized like the rest and stood by itself.

Modifications

The Child of a Valkyrie

(Females)

(Higher Race)

8,000

The Valkyrie were a race of warriors that served the Goddess of war Anaiya. Due to a catastrophic war that brought down a punishment from The One, their race almost became extinct with the rest of the Higher Races. After the conclusion of the war, only one Valkyrie survived. Vowing to never raise a blade except in self-defense, she married a mortal within the Isle of Light governed by the Light Elves and their warrior class of Fire Elves.

Now her offspring are many and remember the opening of the Gates of Cercius. To prevent any future culling, they carry a code of honor to never raise a blade against another soul except to protect.

The Child of a Valkyrie gives the weapons mastery of every kind except the Warhammer. Black feathered wings from mana, that allow them to become great aerial combatants. And extraordinary strength and Magical resistance.

Dragonian Heritage

8,000

The Dragons are known for their dominance in not only in physical prowess, but also their magical ability. The Dragons were also known to take Elvish concubines when their tastes suited so; forcefully. After eras of oppression, all ten nation of elves of old gathered forces and battled the dragons. This war waged for over fifteen millennia and ended with the defeat of the mighty dragons leaving only their youngest who remember little of the war, and the offspring the various elves had with the dragons. But the cost to the elves was also great, of the ten nations only seven survived; and from the seven only four have any true form of government.

Now, the Dragonian Empire, lead by the half dragons, is one of the greatest empires to exist. But, their predecessor's oppression continues to live in the form of slavery. They created the first magical slave collars.

The Dragonian Heritage gives a larger portion of Dragon Blood compared to the now existing Dragonkin. Your build will be slim but long and covered in scales. Wings similar to leather; large and strong enough to allow them to fly. Incredible strength and magical abilities like that of the Drelend.

Seraphim Heritage

(Higher Race)

8,000

The Seraphim were the soldiers of the gods. Used in battle for their weapons mastery only matched by the Valkyrie and their magical prowess. But, due to the hunger of the gods, the war waged on endlessly until the Gates Of Cercuis opened. Not understanding what this meant all the warring gods stopped their war to face this new threat. But, unbeknownst to them this was their punishment from The One for the destruction they had caused. Out came True Angels and their counterparts the True Demons. Unlike the Seraphim they were genderless and extremely powerful. In a matter of days, the god's numbers were culled to only that of a few, but a greater price was paid. All higher races used by the gods were eliminated with only a single survivor from the Valkyrie; the Seraphim and the rest all became extinct. The only remaining vestiges of their existence came in the offspring they had with mortals. Now hidden in the tallest mountains of the Isle of Night, they all share the land peacefully with the secretive race of Night Elves and their counterparts the Dark Elves.

The Seraphim Heritage gives you weapons mastery of every kind. Feathered wings of white and beauty unmatched. The capability of true aerial battle. And an enormous mana capacity to complement their battle prowess.

Curse of Ragual

Blessing of Astra

(9,485)

The Ragual Curse, brought down by Ragual, was a punishment to the Drelend, a race of warriors renowned for their ability and beauty, for the destruction of his most sacred church. But, Astra, unable to watch her worshippers suffer such a deformed and beastly transformation, blessed them with most of her power. Doing this she permanently damaged herself.

The Curse gives them large bodies and extraordinary speed and strength but takes away a large portion of their intelligence and their beauty. Making them nothing more then semi-sentient beasts.

The Blessing gives them great wisdom and intelligence making them exceptional mages second only to Dragons and the Higher Races. But most importantly, this gave them their full sentience back.

Unlike the other two characteristics, their beauty was not restored to its previous heights. Instead, one would call them majestic in the sense of a powerful and elegant predator rather than the pure beauty of an Angel.

They were of large build with broad shoulders, tusks from their lower jaw. Their skulls had horns that covered the exterior in beautiful swirls; similar to that of a mountain ram. Their bodies coated with metal that grows naturally on their chests, the side of their faces and chin, forearms, thighs, and shoulders.

The curse transforms the person through an extremely painful process. Elongating, widening and molding their bone structure. And changing skin texture, color, and strength. But most painful is the growth of the glossy metal plates.

Now they are known as the Raug. But unlike their dominant predecessors, they are the battle slaves of the Dragonian Empire after the DragonKin took advantage of their period of semi-sentience to enslave them.

The Kitsune's Image

(Higher Race)

Unaffiliated in the War of Gods

(8000)

The Kitsune are a race of elders within the Beastkin Kingdom. Known for their elegance and their most dominant Illusionary Magic. It is said that the Kitsune are the descendants of the god of Chaos Teamul. Teamul, unlike what many may say, did not participate in the War of Gods making him and his creations exempt from the culling; receiving only a stern warning instead.

Now there are only two clans left of the Kitsune's majestic race alive; even then their numbers are no more than fifty each.

The Beasts of Teamul

(Semi-Sentient unless Intelligence is of high rank)

(7000)

The Beasts of Teamul are a dormant race of Guardians protecting the Beastkin Kingdom from the warring race of Green Orcs of Javal. Each created differently. Their looks can be quite horrendous, but in exchange, they gain enormous amounts of speed and strength. These beasts are better known as Chimeras. Of the many races of Chimeras, the few that stand out are the Griffons, Hippogriff, Pegasus, and Manticores.

(You will be given the option to create your own build with different beasts or use a pre-existing one.)

Without the necessary intelligence, you will become semi-sentient for the first ten millennia.

Elemental Merging

1 – 1,750, 2 – 2,500,

3 – 3,500, 4 – 5000

Any Additional Element will be worth 1,750

Become your most favored element itself. Giving you unmatched control of the elements chosen. You run the risk of not being fully compatible with certain elements that would weaken you considerably, but the rewards far outweigh the risk. You will be given the option to choose a build which will be your vessel to the mortal plane from the elemental. If your physical body is destroyed then your elemental existence will be transferred back to the elemental plane. The only way to return to the mortal plane would to either create a binding contract with a mortal or create your own vessel.

(Creation of vessel without massive amounts of at least five different elements will not be possible)

'God damn it! What the heck is all this! What do I do now?'

Noticing that all the weird circles and squiggly lines where four digits and his five, he assumed that might be the cost of each. Meaning that the ones on the second line were what the goddess meant by a 'set number.'

'Forget this!'

He had no more patience for this! Maybe if he did something she might come back? Hopefully!

Randomly choosing one, a second box appears, but fortunately for him, he understood enough to get the gist of what it wanted.

System -

Do you wish to finalize your Choice?

Yes -

No -

Pressing Yes, he suddenly feels claustrophobic. Everything around him started to compress against him. Forming a semi-solid form, similar to what his particles felt like. After what felt like hours of compression, it finally stopped.

'Well, I finally understand something. Yes and No. Simple.

I feel … GOOD!'

I never thought feeling bloated like that was such a bad feeling! Maybe I need to use the rest of what I have from the goddess to go from good to Amazing!

Still riding the euphoria he received from losing most of that bloated feeling, he notices that the last choice from the first screen was greyed out.

'Wait, No! How am I supposed to know what I chose? Or ask the goddess what my other options there were.'
