Orc and Beastmen are the ones in Nathaniel's mind. Starting up as a damage dealer that focus on Strength and Agility Attribute build is a not bad for starters, but when he look at the Elf race there's something urging him to try this race and pick it.
"Can you show me how many players are there in each available race except Human race." Nathaniel has not at slightest gonna pick the Human.
"Dwarf almost 180,000 Summons chose this race. Almost 67% of it are Lifestyle Players, and the remaining is a half combatant, if you planning to earn money I recommend you this."

Nathaniel was unhappy with this situation and didn't bother to ask more the AI, he just proceed to start his Avatar appearance alteration and change his Elf Avatar hair color into white and make it long like in the fantasy movies and other games. He then change his eye color into like silver and white gradient.
"Simplicity is beauty, but knowing that this race is for hardcore gamers and I'm a total newbee a 'noob' at this game. I'm really really fucked up."
"Please create your In Game Name." After hearing this Nathaniel come up to a thought of a better name.
'I think a coll name might change my mood in having this hardcore race.' Still disappointed on the system bug thought by Nathaniel.
"Sin of Greed!" Nathaniel said and a slightly loud bell sound ring.
"The name is available spawning at the Elfs kingdom «Grandius Alf»... welcome to GIGA WORLD ONLINE! let your adventures begin!"
