Body Creation
Creating my own body, huh?
Hell, yeah! It feels kinda like playing a game. This god-like-being is really giving me the weeb vibe. Getting ideas from mangas and light novels. It sounds suspicious as hell but, given the things I've seen he can do, I'm willing to believe.
"What say you, Evalyn?" I can feel pride oozing from this statement.
"Alright. I'll agree to it," I gotta know more of the limits to this body creation thing.
"Can I be like a demigod?"
"Um.....yeah," Ohhh, the outstretch 'yeah' seems otherwise. But, okay.
"Can I have the full rules to the body creation thing?" He should info dump about this whole thing.
"I don't really wanna tell you myself, the rules of this," Huh? I can't know the rules to creating my body!? What is this? A scam? However, he continues on with, "So, I'll just give you the full manual book instead," a book suddenly appears in front of me and slowly floats over to me. So, he's just lazy!!!

STEPS & RULES TO BODY CREATION
STEPS
1. Have a mental image of what the ideal body you want.
2. Pick a race for it.
3. Sculpt how you will look. (If lazy, you can pick among preset given)
4. Pick what kind of power you want to have. (Again, if lazy, pick among the presets given)
5. Test drive your new body.
6. If unsatisfied, repeat steps 1 to 4.
7. Finalize body creation.
RULES
1. Body creating has a set bar of 100. (Meaning 100 points of Distinction & Characteristic.(D&C))
2. The D&C points can sometimes be account to more than just said 1 point. (According to what the potency power of said D&C)
3. Creating a really attractive new body will also be using the D&C points.
4. Picking a new race will need to give new body said D&C racial powers and limitations.
5. Picking Special powers for only given body requires also the use of D&C points.
6. Setting a lifespan to said race or specific new body will also use D&C points. (Immortality can be given at a price of 50 D&C points)
7. Requesting for specific items to be included with said new body will also use D&C points.
NOTE
1. Racial power is cheaper than Specific Body Power (Set Power).
2. Giving certain weaknesses to said new race or body will gain back some D&C points.
3. Setting a Potential Power to said race or new body will be cheaper rather than a confirm Set Power.
4. Setting the point of a younger starting age of body will also make it cheaper. (Meaning younger version of body is cheaper)
5. Attractiveness of new body can be cheaper if it's a Racial Power or Potential Body Change.
6. Price of Immortality will not change even if it's a Racial power. However, if it's a Potential Power, it can be cheap as 10 D&C point.

Looking at this thick book, with only the first three pages filled in, making me doubt this powerful being once again. It's obvious he just hastily made this.
"Hey, Nameless. I can begin my body creation now, right?"
"You've fully understood the manual?" The rules are so short. What is he thinking?
"Mm, yeah. So, is there some interface or something I can see?"
"Not really. Just imagine what's in your mind and the image will appear in front of you. For the powers, there will be a text box appearing next to imagined body," wow. That's kinda easy to do and user friendly. Just gotta be creative about it.
-------------
After who knows how long, I have a mental image of what my body is gonna be. I still want to keep most of the looks of my old human body but, as a totally new race with different powers and abilities.
An image of a female human starts to appear in front of me. A tall lady with silver hair that grows all the way to her waist. She also has matching silver eyes. Yes, this is how I envision the anime version of myself. I've always wanted to see how I look with this hair and eye colors. A number of points I use displays itself next to my new body. It writes there, 15/100. Hmm, apparently it costs 15 D&C points. Really quite expensive but, I really wanna keep some of my old looks.
Okay, now the next step is giving it a power or to be more specific Racial Powers. Hmm, I want Super Strength, Super Body Resilience, Faster Body Regeneration, High Magic Affinity, High Magic Capacity, and High Magic Resistance. And it costs.........120 D&C points! Wow, I guess that's kinda too much, eh? Can I turn the power into Potential Racial Power? The manual did say Potential Power will make it more cheap. Immediately, D&C point is reduce to 60. I guess that's kinda reasonable.
Now, lets set age lifespan for this new race. Hmm, It says gaining potential immortality is only 10 D&C points. Yeah, gonna take that. Hmm? A display pops up showing that I need to set the lifespan of race. Didn't I just pick immortality? Was this a scam!?
"Hey! Nameless. Why did the lifespan limit pops up even though I chose being an immortal?"
"Hmm? Oh! Well, from what I see here you only pick potential immortality. So, in case you can't reach it, you still gotta put the lifespan limit," I could only become quiet as his explanation. It's a good thing I'm just a soul. If not, my red cheeks could be shining brightly here.
Okay, lets just put the life span at 1000 years. Hmm? once again another display pops up, telling me to put in the age for the beginning of sexual maturity. I guess I gotta put in the age where a girl in my race starts getting menstrual cycles and boys with with awkward first boners. Also, the display after that prompts me to put a full maturity age as well. Meaning the age when the race is fully grown.
I'm just going to go with normal sexual maturity of humans which is 10 to 20. Hmm, for some reason it's quite expansive at 20 D&C points. That's over my budget. So, I guess the way to make it cheap is rising the age? Changing it to 15 to 20 only made it decrease to 15. Which completely finishes up my points. I don't want that. Still gotta use the point on something else.
Wait! I just remembered something. Giving weakness will increase back my points! So, lets think of a witness.......Hmm, how about making the full maturity age as a weakness? Fully maturing at the of 100 years old is probably gonna increase my points a lot isn't it? Immediately, the limit of my D&C points increase to 120. Yes! So, the display is showing 100/120.
Now, I have 20 extra D&C points left. Hmm, what to do with it? Hmm, I guess I should use it on specific body power? Hmm, I feel like there's something missing..........Oh yeah! If I'm going to a new world, I need to learn the new language right? I'm kinda lazy to learn a new language manually so, I guess it's kinda fine to use it here right?
!!!!!
What! How can language be so expensive? 2255 D&C points!!? Why?
"Hey, Nameless."
"Hmm, what now?" Sheesh. This guy.
"How come learning the language is so expensive?"
"That's a simple question. There's so many language down there. Almost every languages has a price of around 5 to 10 or 10 to 15 for ancient languages. So, there's like a 280 language in that world. Including the different dialects," hmm, I see. Well, fair enough.
"I suggest you pick the Rawa language and the ancient Hemza language. You're gonna use that the most when you land down there."
"Can't that be included in the package of this reincarnation?"
"Sorry, can't do that. Knowledge is also considered a power, right?"
"Uurrrghh, fine. I'll take those two," both the language costs 14 D&C points. Now, 6 points left.
I wonder if something like language is important and not in the package, will I get clothes when I also land down there?
"Will, I get free clothes when I get down there?"
"No."
"What! You cheapskate! How can't that be included?"
"Well, transporting even a simple item is still included because it's the same getting an artifact from a me, a powerful being," again, even though the manual kinda reflects as if did this on whim but, his it seems kinda well planned. With that, I pick a simple black clothing at a cost of 1 D&C points. So, 5 points left.
For those last points, I think I wanna have a companion by my side. I'm gonna do what another famous isekai person* did in exchange for his powers.
"For my last 5 points, I want to have a companion. A companion who will stick with me on my whole journey."
"A companion? Sure, I could make one for you. So, what companion do you want?"
"I want you!"
............
"Really?"
"Yes!" Surprise, cheapskate God! I got you now. Share the pain with me as we go struggle in a new world!
"Okay," a quick and simple reply.
