For a moment, I panic horribly, thrashing around. I guess I have a little PTSD after being trapped alone in the dark for so long. After a moment, though, I am reassured by the appearance of every gamer's dream:
*DING*
'Wooaah - that's SO COOL!' I guess the whole thing hadn't really sunk in yet, because I decided to review the last few hours of my life (death? not-death? whatever). I had met a goddess, liked her, been kissed by her and been reincarnated by her. And now I appear to be floating in some sort of viscous liquid, and OH YEAH I have a SYSTEM, which is so cool.
'Anyway, should I try to get out? I mean, I don't want to hatch prematurely, because that could cause a whole mess of problems later down the line, so-'
*DING*
- Status - Shop - Messages - Quests - Inventory (locked) - Pocket Dimension (locked) More functions will be unlocked/discovered/added as the host's cultivation and journey progresses> Well... that's certainly convenient. I guess the SYSTEM is more interactive than I would have guessed, and it's annoying that some features are unavailable, but I suppose it can't be helped. Now, I guess I should check out the available ones. 'Status!' *DING* [Name: None] [Age: 0 years] [Race: Frostfire Dragon] [Status: Calm, Very Weak, Unborn] [Cultivation Rank (Human): None] [Cultivation Rank (Spirit Beast): None] [Cultivation Manual: None] [Martial Arts: None] [Techniques: None] [Skills: [Frostfire Breath (Low 0%) (locked until birth) [Ice Breath (Low 0%) (locked until birth) [Fire Breath (Low 0%) (locked until birth) [Dragon Scales (Low 5%) [Affinities (locked until birth): Fire (Basic), Ice (Basic), Frostfire (Novice) [Blessings: Love of the Goddess of Life (God-Rank)] [Description: An unborn dragon hatchling that has somehow already gained sentience due to being reincarnated. Currently extremely weak, due to having no cultivation at all. However, the potential of this young dragoness is practically unlimited.] Ok, that seems pretty straightforward. Not sure I like the sound of 'extremely weak' but I guess that'll be removed soon after birth. Loving the unlimited potential though, very nice. Guess I should check for any messages first, because the shop will probably take a while. 'Messages!' *DING* [You have: One new message. Would you like to read it? 'Yes' [Hi Evie, I hope you like the race I chose for you! I've placed you in a very remote corner of Reine, so you are unlikely to come into contact with any humans or other true sentients for a while, which will give you some time to get stronger. The area you are in is also densely saturated with an incredible amount of Qi, perfect for both types of cultivation! As I said before, I would suggest getting a top-tier cultivation manual from the shop, as well as a good martial art, preferably something that will mesh well with the natural abilities of your race. I'll leave it to your discretion, though! Love, Katherine xx P.S. I hope you get strong soon, so you can come visit ;) ] Well, that was nice of her. I must have left a better impression than I thought... a much better impression... Anyway, enough of that. Time to 'Shop!'
