I opened my eyes, staring at the greenish starlit sky. The muted scent of nighttide wind supplanted by the smell of forsaken mud careened across my nostrils, dilating my sight.
A welcome change from an odorless place…
"Sssh…" raced through my head like rain wiping across my windshield…
___________________________________________________________________________________________
You received the Ngùdi Bwindèa Illusion Resistance! |__________________________________________________________________________________________|
…and this box flashed before me.
What is that?
Ngùdi Bwindèa illusion resistance?
Why did I receive it?
To help me reach the Gods?
Rousing to a sitting position, I took the time to peruse myself.
Naked, I had long fingers, and my brown hair groped the high of my back, unkempt, and frizzled.
I gazed down at my medium sized breasts, as well as the circle-shaped dark tattoo on the palm of my hands. That's a nice ride of a body, despite my two malfunctioning pen**s tingling pain.
They were fixed, with a black scar where the prepuce had been.
Was it the mysterious spirit's doing?
I looked around me. In spite of nighttime, I could see without headlights.
How did I know so? Maybe because I'm a mùkèlako…
Withered mud warmed my soles like an alcantara chair. Surrounded by a forest of twisting blue trees, their darkish canopy swayed by the wind's whim. Bereft of the sound of idle insects or slumbering animals, these woods carried the patina of unwonted tragedy.
However, a delightful smell came from the thorny branches, permeating my senses. Raising my eyes, black roses spread their scent as far as the wind carried it. "So this is the universe? Nice…"
Shying to my wheels, I was scrubbing the dirt off my skin, when a small breeze passed through me and tickled my waist, then cupped my breasts. "It feels good!" I said, stretching my legs and arms. "But I have no clue about my identity…"
Then, with the same sound…

…another screen, white this time, appeared before me. "Woah! What is that?" I said.
It's a bigger screen than the previous one!
And there's illusion resistance in it!
So my name is Asùmwè Bùsà, and I'm a Mwèn…what does that mean?
And what's the "(i)" next to these words?
Information?
It must be…how do we access it then?
I used my pointer on the "(i)" next to the word "Mwèn".
To my surprise, "Peen!" honked across my head.
The white screen faded away…
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Mwèn = Bipedal species known for its two arms, eyes, legs, and viviparous reproduction.
__________________________________________________________________________________________|
…then showcased this. That's my species. We're close to human beings. Wait, what are human beings then? Why did it come across my visual field? That's weird. Anyway, what about illusion resistance?
___________________________________________________________________________________________
Illusion Resistance = Illusion Resistance immunizes you against any illusion below a certain level.
__________________________________________________________________________________________|
I see … what about level?
___________________________________________________________________________________________
(Level: 0) and (Next Level: 0%) = It represents your current level of ability. Next Level tells you the percentage cleared in order to reach the next level by either harvesting an enemy's mùdinòlò, or using an ngùdi.
__________________________________________________________________________________________|
So, I grow stronger by collecting my foes' mùdinòlò, or by using a ngùdi.
But what's a ngùdi? Let me click on that; I'll find out what a mùdinòlò is later on…
___________________________________________________________________________________________
Ngùdi = Ngùdi is an ability used to accomplish various things, from killing your opponents to strengthening your allies, for example. They can be Active, or Inactive, but also Permanently Active depending on the type of skill. Inherited Ngùdi are abilities that are present at birth, commonly passed on through a bloodline. Ngùdi Bwindèa are heightened abilities. Tending to be permanently active, they cost you nothing. In general, they only evolve by raising your Rank.
__________________________________________________________________________________________|
I see … so that's what I use to defend myself … but what's a Rank?
________________________________________________________________________________________
Rank = Rank represents your overall level. Once you reach level 99, you will have the choice to move to a new Rank, enhancing any abilities you have.
__________________________________________________________________________________________|
I get it. I know a bit about Mùkèlako, but let's see what I can learn here…
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Type and Mùkèlako = Type represents the classification for which you use your abilities, for example: a Mùlòndèdi type will cast spells on others, and a Mot'à bilà type will use hand-to-hand combat or weaponry to attack his enemy. Mùkèlako are beings that are able to use the exclusive Ngùdis Sômbwa and Ébango, plus a random exclusive ability as well as Tèmènè, Élèkù, Wùsù and Éwolè mastery upon their awakening. They exhibit superior abilities at birth, including six s*xual organs.
__________________________________________________________________________________________|
So these abilities are mine because I'm a mùkèlako?
That's great, but I don't know what makes me special since there's no one to compare myself to…let's check out these ngùdis and—
A whirring noise from a patchable engine came behind my back.
I turned around, and a blinding light overwhelmed my eyes…
