Chapter 2 - customization

«DUDUDUNDUNDUNDUNDUM»

"uwwwah!! ughh~~"

Sierra awoke with a jolt, only to be greeted with a massive headache upon sitting up.

(ugh.. what the heck, what was that? where am I?)

She looked around and found that she was in some sort of cyberspace. Flashes of blue, white, and black could be seen all around, dancing and playing with one another. Intermingling but never mixing.

"Woaaahh.. this is so much cooler than my room.. it even has an awesome background music ^-^" Sierra sat from where she was, amazed at the sight around her. Wisps of blue and white whizzed past her face. Then suddenly she remembered that she wasn't in her room anymore.

(Wait! I should be worried at a time like this!)

Sierra looked around again whilst the opening theme was in the background.

(did someone kidnap me? where are they? why is there music playing? what is this place? can I hire them as my personal interior designers or at least music composers? wait! no that's not important right now!)

She felt all around her body.

(it doesn't feel or look like I was raped. My red hoodie is in place and so are my black shorts, and I didn't have shoes on so I'm barefoot, great.. so what do those kidnappers want? money? a ransom? if that's so then they're sh*t out of luck because I can't even afford to buy myself a pet slot in the game. Heck I don't think my parents would ever forgive me if they found out that I was kidnapped with a ransom on my head. -_-)

«Welcome to Dragon's Final Quest! - please press start-»

Sierra was startled when she heard this and an icon popped up in her field of vision abruptly, making her jump back a little.

(WTF AM I IN THE GAME!? THIS IS SO COOOOL!! so that's why there was background music)

Sierra eagerly touched the button and suddenly the room transformed from being a cyberspace to what looked like an ordinary room, this ordinary room however looked or seemed like it was filled with all the clothes in the world. Sierra's eyes were wide in excitement and shock.

In the room, rows and rows of clothes were there. There were shelves filled with shoes of different size, color, and shape. Faces with different features were displayed on racks. glass eyes were kept in jars filled with some sort of liquid and were floating in the middle, and arranged in rows of similar colors. Different kinds of hairstyles and colors were displayed on the shelves, but the most shocking thing of all was that there were bodies, rather, manikins of different races and origins, male and female, all lined up neatly in a row.

(Wow! it looks like my own personal walk-in closet! these manikins look like the real deal! )

Sierra stood up from where she sat and walked up to the closest thing next to her. A manikin with a red bushy tail and red ears at the top of its head. She wanted to touch the tail but was stopped midway.

«please enter player name:___________»

A screen appeared in her field of vision, along with a matching keyboard.

Sierra didn't hesitate to input her in-game name.

«S-H-I-R-O-I»

she hit enter. a loading screen appeared before it changed into a check sign.

«Thank you player SHIROI for playing the game»

(Probably means that my IGN was registered.)

Sierra shrugged and continued her action to touch the tail.

(I bet it'll be so fluffy I'd die!!)

Before she could touch it another screen appeared.

"seriously?" she said as she threw her arms in exasperation.

« please customize character to your liking»

The screen showed what you would regularly see in character customizations. Sierra saw herself in her normal clothes, along with many icons and bars that were labeled like 'face' 'clothes' 'body type' 'race' 'eye color' 'hairstyle' 'hair color' and the like.

(I already know what I'm going to look like soo~)

Sierra picked the hair color 'white' with a hairstyle of 'natural wavy hair with slight side bangs'

«Player SHIROI chose 'color 001'»

«Player SHIROI chose 'hairstyle 028'»

All of a sudden there was white flying hair coming towards her fast, it looked like a white blur judging by how fast it flew.

"Woah wait what!?"

Before Sierra could dodge the flying thing it collided with her head and she stumbled back a little, but she caught herself with her foot.

"w-w-what the hell?! " Sierra stammered as she felt her head and hair. her hair!

"MY HAIR! IT'S WHITE! "

Sierra pulled on her hair to try to get it off, but as she yanked on the hair it felt like it was really apart of her since she felt the pain that came along usually when one yanks on hair.

"OUCH! THE HELL? is it a part of me now? I'm the-- you know what never mind, I'm over it. really I am."

(You know this is a lot softer than my old hair and fuller too! my old hair keeps on 'shedding' meaning there are lots and lots of hairfall.)

Sierra continued with what she had already have in mind as her look.

«Player SHIROI chose 'face 005'»

«Player SHIROI chose 'skin color 001'»

«Player SHIROI chose 'eye color 998'»

«Player SHIROI chose 'body type 023'»

«Player SHIROI chose 'outfit 001'»

«Player SHIROI chose 'race: human'»

Sierra rapidly chose all the options that have 'white' in it, and braced for the impact of all her chosen options. in the distance she can see objects floating one by one.

(This is going to hurt.. i-if I don't make it.. I'm just happy that I was able to at least experience this.. even though it's not the actual gameplay yet T_T)

One by one the choices she chose flew right to her at a rapid rate. Sierra felt like her body was hit by a machine gun. She finally fell and hit the floor. The items continued to bombard her. Her body shone with a blinding light. Sierra could feel the heat of the bombardment. It felt like an invasion of privacy, of her entire being. she withstood the slight pain and awkwardness. it was as if many hands were feeling her all over.

After a few minutes of lying on the ground, Sierra stood up. she glanced at the customization screen. She looked like a doll!

Her arms and legs were longer. Her boobs got slightly larger (size D) and her butt was more elastic and bubbly! Her skin was flawlessly natural white! (finally! no more ugly scars!). Her clothes changed to that of white, she now wore a plain white crop top and white baggy shorts, stopping just below her knees (The shorts kinda look like the ones Aladdin in the movie: 'Aladdin' wore hahaha). Her face looked like it underwent plastic surgery! her nose, cheekbones, and lips were more pronounced. Her eyebrows were perfectly combed and shaped (why is it black? why can't I turn it into white? I was looking for white but ughh.. I give up). The color of Sierra's eyes were perfectly silver.

Sierra really completely looked like a different person. Almost as if she really weren't herself, but someone else.

(OK let's just think that I evolved.. yeah that could work! Sierra evolved into Shiroi! a more enhanced and beautiful version of Sierra. what is this Pokemon?)

As Sierra was busy admiring herself in a mirror that that had abruptly appeared in front of her, a notification from the game appeared in her field of vision.

«Player SHIROI, would you like to save customization?»

Sierra clicked yes.

«Player SHIROI will not be able to change her looks again, would you like to continue? »

(yes of course! jeez!)

Sierra clicked yes again.

A loading screen appeared right after she clicked yes.

«congratulations! player SHIROI is one of the 10 players that finished customization»

«player SHIROI has earned the right to make one(1) wish»

«please type wish below»

Sierra's silver eyes bulged from the shock. She was shaking in excitement.

(Woaaahh!! I got a wish! what the hell should I wish for!? immortality? insta-kill? max stats? max level? the highest grade equipment ever in the whole game? a pet? yeah a pet! )

As she was thinking about what kind of pet and what would it do, another notification appeared.

«Player SHIROI has one(1) minute to input the wish»

(WTF!?)

Sierra hastily entered her wish. She double checked to make sure she didn't have any grammatical or spelling errors, and clicked OK.

«Analyzing please wait a few minutes... »

Sierra felt like she's been waiting forever. this was probably due to the anxiousness of the wish she made.

(no matter what, I'd never regret this wish. I don't care if I'm not immortal or has insta-kill or max level and stats or anything!)

As Sierra was thinking this, a notification appeared in her field of vision.

«Analyzing complete... player SHIROI wishes to have a white dragon that can poop in-game currency»

(I'm not regretting it one bit at all!)

Sierra just stood there as she read the notification over and over again. Then she sighed.

«player Shiroi will randomly be transported to a location in the world of Miscria»

(wait what?! that soon? but what about the--)

Sierra's thoughts were cut off as another notification appeared.

«Thank you for playing 'DRAGON'S FINAL QUEST»

"wait a minute! what about classes! and my pe-" Sierra wasn't able to finish her sentence as she was starting to disappear.

(This disappearing act is totally a ripoff of the movie: Infinity War!!)

With that her body slowly disintegrated without leaving a single trace.
