1 CHAPTER 1: Character creation
"Yaaaawn!"
This is so boring. When will this line end? I've been here for how many days in this god not-forsaken white place.
Too many spirits lined up to be judged by that mean-looking, sexy secretary goddess over there.
"Next!...*THUD*"
She looks like a tsundere.
"Next!...*THUD*"
*sigh* How I wish that's my hammer she's holding.
"Next!...*THUD*"
After waiting for like forever. It is now finally my turn.
"NEXT!"
Nice. It's finally my turn. I can leave this boring place now and go the heaven or maybe hell T_T.
But I think it's heaven for me. I mean, I've been a good boy all my life, right?
I stepped forward then suddenly, the phone rang beside the secretary goddess. I mean, a phone, in heaven?
Hearing the ringing of this phone, she stopped working and answered it.
"Yes?... Uh huh... uh huhh... WTF!?... Why me?... I'm busy call somebody else!... Shut up!... You can't do this to me!!! I have work in here and this spirits in line are so long!!! Choose!?... Among them?... You think that's a good idea? You think that's easy?... You..!... You promised not tell anyone!... We had a deal!... You are despicable!!!" *BAM*
She slammed the phone and hung up.
Looks like someone has been blackmailed, huh!
Huh!?
Why is the room changing color to red!?
Crap why am I shivering?
"E-excuse me!?"
The goddeses looked at me and realised what she has done. The next thing I know everything turned white again. WTH was that?
She looked at me with a face of realisation and grinned then point her cute finger at me.
"You! Step to the next room and use the computer! You'll know what to do once you open it."
The gooddess intstructed me and pointed at the room at the corner.
"I..."
"NOW!!"
She interrupted me before I could say anything and threatened me.
For a manly man like me to ordered around by a girl...*sigh*
Even with many complaints in my mind i still followed.
I mean, what the hell! Why am i turned on by her bitchy attitude?
Hey, I'm a spirit right? i don't have a body, right? Why does it feel like my junior brother is standing up straight?
I looked at myself and, Yup! I'm just another ball of blue flame like any other. But why do i feel like I'm in heat?
I entered the room and there is the computer. But where is the monitor? It's only keyboard and CPU and a mouse.
I tried to turn the CPU on and there it is. A holographic 3D image appeared in front of me. Let's see here... It says 'character creation menu!'
Okay...? Am i going to play RPG now? Create my own character? What the hell is going on? Let's just go with the flow.
I see race menu and i clicked it. Then a hundred choices appeared before me. Too many! I don't know what to do but, man! This is interesting!
I scrolled and I scrolled and looked at the choices. There's beastman race, elf race dwarven, orc, ogre, human, half-elf, giant, half-giant, blah blah blah.
I clicked randomly and ended up with a lion tribe under the beastman race. And there it is. A man looking like a lion. So cool, a human faced with a lion's mane, it's arms are buffed, fingers...five... check and claws... wowsers! It looked too real. But why is it that it resemble me when I was still alive? I looked again and there is no face edit! Bummer! What a broken menu. I was planning to improve my jaw line and flat nose, like, how I dreamed it should to look more like a chick magnet. How disappointing.
I was about to click choose...but...
I saw something i can not unsee anymore!
WTF IS THIS!!!
JESUS HOLY CHRIST!!!
Why does the boner of that thing looked like a dog boner! I tell you! A! DOG! BONER!
NOPE! Let's choose another i don't want to look at it anymore!
I clicked night elf under the elf race!
Niggah! Nope!
Blood elf! Too thin! No muscle at all! Nope.
Wood elf! Their boner looks long but nope! Too thin!
High orc! Nope! It's fat but look at those blue balls!
Orc! Too green!
Ogre! Too big!
Imp! Too Small!
Merman! Oh christ NOPE!
*Sigh* Why is this happening? This game has some serious issues! No censorship at all.
I tried to look for something but i couldn't find it. How disappointing, no gender to choose from. Is it because I'm a male? *sigh*
In the end I chose human race.
Next, I went to the stat tab. It displayed my status.
----------------------------------------
-STATS-

AGI TALENT: 0 +
END TALENT: 0 +

TALENT POINTS: 10
------------------------------------------
I saw something familiar. My stats are all balanced equally. It must be because of my race. Well, human race tend to be an all rounder at the beginning unless they training on their specific specialties. It's what I thought.
I looked down and saw something I'm not familiar with. This aptitude is new. Let's see.
------------------------------
APTITUDE: Determines physical growth rate of stats per level. Use talent points to increase aptitude.
Warning: Aptitude is permanent once character creation is confirmed. It will become your over all talent in life and determine your path.
-----------------------------
Pretty simple huh! So it allows me to control my potential to determine the growth stat of my status everytime I level up?
Ok, let's try it. I tried putting 1 point in str growth.
-------------------------------
STR TALENT: LOW +1
-------------------------------
And another one.
-------------------------------
STR TALENT: COMMON +2
-------------------------------
And another...
-------------------------------
STR TALENT: HIGH +3
-------------------------------
...
-------------------------------
STR TALENT: GENIUS +4
-------------------------------
...
------------------------------
STR TALENT: PRODIGY +5 (MAXED!)
-------------------------------
NICE! I reset everything and i got all my potential points back. So a low aptitude increases my stat points by 1 per level, common by 2 and 5 for prodigy.
That's nice and all but I'll come back to that later. I got to look at the skills first and figure out how to build my character then.
I went to touched the skill tab and oh no... Hundreds and thousands of skills appeared in my view. I don't even know where to start?
Let's see here. hmmm... There are sword skills, spears, magic, crafting, alchemy, singing?, dancing?, fire magic, water, lightning, farming, mining, lumberjack, herbology, medicine, blah blah blah...
*Sigh* So many to choose from. How do i build my character then? I've been pondering for a while when the door opened and my goddess entered the room.
"Not done yet!?" She asked.
"Nope! BTW what's this all about?" I answered and asked.
"I am going to reincarnate you to another world to do something for me. I suggest that you take it seriously because there will be no take backs once you're done with your vessel creation."
She non-chalantly answered which gave me a shock! Reincarnate? In a body of my choosing? This is exciting, my dream of another world of fantasy.
"So let me get this straight. You are sending me to another world of magic and stuff and this character creation thingy will become my avatar?" I asked.
"I told it's will become your new vessel, new body."
Man! I love this goddess. I thought I will never fulfill my life long dream before my death but this is exciting. A dream come true after death! hahaha Suck it you religious cunts! This is better than heaven or any virgins out there.
I should establish a religion centering this goddess infront of me from now on. Bucket list updated.
"So what am i going to do in that world?"
"Just finish the damn thing so I can send you immediately. You'll know in time what you're task is all about. Now if you'll excuse me."
Then she left the room leaving me alone and excited.
Okay! Time to take this seriously.
I restarted everything and went to choose a race.
Yup! Still human.
I clicked on the skills menu and stats and pondered for a long time!
Should i become a swordsman? Nope! Too mainstream!
Assassin? Cool!
Hunter? Awesome!
Mage? Ofcourse! As the saying goes, "When in Rome, do what the Romans do."
But mages tend to be vulnerable and it needs at least a compani...!
Companion!!! Crap! I'm an introvert! How the hell am I going to get a companion/partner with my negative social skills?
Simple! A one-man army!
Let's see what the skills have to offer.
Necromancy? Nope! Disgusting. I don't like rotting flesh and I am not a necrophiliac.
Beast taming? Nah! If I got a thousand of beasts how am I going to feed them? Let them hunt on their own? Then scoure the forest? Hell, they might eat everything up and leave nothing for the others upsetting the balance of the forrest! Nope!
Spirit summoning? Let's see... It says here that 1 need to fulfill their requirements before one can summon a spirit. Too troublesome! Nope!
Golem alchemy? Too many materials needed! Nope!
Demonic summoning? And what? Have millions of ugly imps and demons with horns sticking up their heads? No thank yóooou!
I scrolled and scrolled until i saw an interesting skill.
--------------------------
MAGIC CLONE
Summon a copy of yourself.
Strength of clones depends on the percentage of user per skill level.
Skills and abilities of user are copied to your clone depending on skill level.
Number of clones depend on MP.
---------------------------
Nice! MAGIC CLONE I choose you!

MAGIC CLONE (LVL 1) +
------------------------------------
Nice! Next is to put everything on our skill.
I leveled up my skill to max which cost me 4 talent points.
------------------------------------
MAGIC CLONE (LVL MAX)
------------------------------------
Now I'm only left with 6 talent points for my aptitude and how to distribute them.
First I need thing I is int talent. Why? Because i need to increase the max number of clones that is dependent on my mana. The more mana I have the more clones I can create. Plus, I want to learn magic when I get there.
Next is wisdom. It says here that wisdom stat affects the brain and sensory function. Speed of judgement, memory, and the five sense. Good for scouting and gathering information, fast judgement and reaction time. I mean, I don't want to lag behind in a sudden situation. Then I will increase my agi so my body can keep up with my thoughts.
Should I put something on strength too? It's nice. Imagine an army of me mashing everything in its path. hehehe. This is possible but using strength alone can't solve every problem i will be facing in the future. Plus, I only have limited points.
How about endurance? Hmmm... An army of tank? Doable, but still, I only have limited points.
It's decided then. AGI, INT, and WIS will be my primary stats. Now i need to decide my priority. Will it be speed, magic, or information?
It's obvious. Let's go with information. Then Magic followed by agility.
I distributed my remaining talent points and it looks amazing now.
-------------------------------
- APTITUDE -
STR TALENT: 0
AGI TALENT: LOW +1
END TALENT: 0
INT TALENT: COMMON +2
WIS TALENT: ADVANCE +3
TALENT POINTS: 0

It looks rather low but I guess I can compensate it with numbers, right?
Now let's check everything!

COOL! Now let's confirm everything!
I clicked confirm at the lower right corner of the screen but nothing happened. Then I called for my sweet goddess.
"Are you done now?" Asked the goddess.
"YES MA'AM!" I stood up straight and made a saluted while answering.
"Good. Now I will send to a world called Liv. From now on you'll be living in your new world. Bon voyage and happy adventuring!"
She waved her hand and a whole on the floor suddenly opened up and sucked me right in!
"W-WA-WAAAAIT! AHHHHHH"
