Chapter 21: More customising

I was extremely tired after the party. It went on till midnight. They could've gone on for a few more hours but someone reminded them all that my achievement isn't really a big one and it's really common for the Alpha to win. In the end, everyone was celebrating my return and the 'new version' of me.

I was glad it was over. I retreated to my room. This time I had time for a closer inspection. It was a large room. I noticed that the design had changed a little since the last time I was here (more precisely, just yesterday). It was a softly lit, purple-themed room. Everything thing was either a light or dark shade of purple or a trace amount of pink, with a little silver or gold here and there. My bed was circular, still, with the softest mattress, I had ever felt.

Translucent neon pink curtains hung on the window. I pushed them apart only to find myself staring at the most breathtaking view of the modern city. The nightlife was what could probably make this place worth living. Tiny dots of lights could be seen in uncountable numbers. I tore my eyes away from that and again started to get familiar with my room.

Finally, when I was done, lastly I was staring at myself in the mirror. It was still weird to accept the fact that I had to live in the game as a girl. I gently touched the mirror. What I wasn't expecting was the "AVATAR CUSTOMISING OPTIONS" to pop out.

"Was that it? I could've changed myself this whole time? OH, MAN!" I thought, furious with myself. The options were mostly all female-themed but I spotted the male-theme option on the top. I clicked on that and the current options vanished and new ones took their place. I decided to think it all through with patience and not in any hurry. I had regretted that anyway.

but wait- would anyone realize I'm a boy? I was playing a girl before? But anyway that's a question for the future. It took an hour, to mix and match various styles and outfits, finally, I was satisfied with the following results:

White hair, frost blue eyes, slightly tanned skin, and for the outfit, a bit oversized grey jacket with a black shirt and darker grey pants.

I decided to keep the black half glove on my right hand. The outfit was also equipped with the following weapons:

A long sword, a shotgun, and two different types of rifles.

I stared at my reflection in the mirror, perfectly satisfied with the final results. Had it been home, my mom wouldn't have even let me inside the house if I walked up to her with this appearance. My brother would be as horrified as possible. He always fit in the soft-boy aesthetic. As for me, it could be either grunge or e-boy.

Coming back to the still unbelievable reality, I thought it would be icing on the cake if just I could change my name. But really, the name wasn't even that girly if you think about it. So, I left it there. I took a few steps backward and the mirror turned normal again.

then, I decided to go on a nighttime stroll, and then, I'll sleep.
