Onille started heaving his eyes blurred akin to a person who's experiencing a Panic Attack. He hurriedly closed his eyes and started counting backwards, afterwards his breathing slowly reverted to normal and he calmed his thoughts.
The reason why he panicked so much is because of the Beastkin racial passives. It's called [Curse of Lust] it stands by its name, it is a crazy debuff that all beastkin kind suffers from. He already new of these debuffs of course but it's 10 times worse with a female character!!!
Beastkin Introduction : Five different anthropomorphic humanoid tribes banded together to create a country which is now called the Beast-Empire. The Beastkindom is just the remains of a fallen human country.
Beastkin Passive: [Curse of Lust], [RockHide] [Greater Regeneration]
[Rockhide]: Beastkin have fur as hard as steel and then grants 50% Physical Armor and damage reduction to Bladed and Sharp Attacks but because of it any item or skill that gives Physical Armor cannot stack with the passive. A compensation for how Beastkin doesn't have the Tanker class. A class designed to block and defend attacks and stack Physical Armor buffs.
[Greater Regeneration]: Beastkin have blood as thick as trolls they can regenerate 2℅ of their Maximum Hitpoints per second outside combat and 0.5% during combat. it's a compensation for the fact that Beastkin Race does not have any Healers. A class that can use holy magic to heal wounds or cure debuffs.
[Curse of Lust]: Grants hidden stat: Luck. When the Beastkin Empire was established the Goddess cursed all beastkin tribes with insatiable lust. Every time the lust attacks its either unbearable pain or irresistible pleasure. Experiencing the curse of lust both physically and mentally is very draining it can even make beastkins lose their sanity. Legend speaks of a beastkin becoming a god when his lust reached maximum level.
"Three, two, one"
Onille dropped a cold sweat down her furry face, being a female beastkin player invites all sorts of trouble and he would rather die than get manhandled and r*ped by some random beastkin dude.

"MAINTENANCE!" Onille shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Yes" space distorted a little then a floating flat screen appeared right in front of Onille, this is Maintenance he might look like this but he's actually a Watcher/employee of the Sweet-Nightmare company that created this game, his role is to find, then fix bugs and hacks, kinda like a social media moderator.
Although the company calls Maintenance as an employee, he is actually a humanoid A.I with processing powers that could accommodate any player. 10 People could call upon Maintenance at the same time and from different places and they'd appear and tend to their individual needs without delay.
Sweet-Nightmare might sound ominous but they are the group that revolutionized the world. Creating a parallel world called Epic of the Gods, there's only 3 other competitors for the VR market but they never challenged Sweet-Nightmare in its claim of the Medieval-Fantasy MMORPG Genre. They are also the only company that allows gaming at night, which gives it an extensive player base.
"How can I help you?" Maintenance complacently asked.
"Just look at ME!"
"Change me back right now!" Onille snapped and started emphasizing his chest. Maintenance merely glanced at him and started scrolling through the players logs.
*Ding*
"Pfft" he almost laughed but manage to hold it in and disguised it as a cough. Regaining his composure Maintenance spoke.
"I shall see to it that you are properly compensated for this Glitch. Calculating...."
Onille was outraged! GLITCH? What in the hell is a Glitch?! but then he remembered him saying compensation and his ears perked, he wanted to ask for something outrageous like a hundred million dollars but his dream of becoming instant rich crumbled when Maintenance spoke once more.
"Calculations completed Player: Insania will receive 500 gold coins, A Gift of the Goddess, and a World Map."
Onille heard a notification and he quickly read it.
*Ting
you have accepted 500 gold coins, A Gift of the Goddess, World Map.*
Onille stared at the notification in front of him his eyes growing wide and his mouth agape.
*Ting Title Acquired: "Golden Spoon"*
"Congratulations Insania for becoming the richest player in the entire game"
"I really do wish I could give you more, but there's truly nothing we can do about your current circumstances." Maintenance disappeared just like how he appeared.
His brain powered off for a few seconds but he managed to shake himself back to normal. Putting all his questions aside he checked his new title.
*Ting"Golden Spoon":
A new player given 500 coins by Maintenance to fix a recent bug. Increases 1 hidden attribute by 3*
Onille nodded dumbly and walked around the beastkin village and found a smith shop. He bought a hundred arrows wrapped by a black cloth for 2 coppers an arrow. Quivers arent sold here so he had to put the arrows in his small newbie bag and it magically clung to his back.
With a distraught mind he headed west and went out the village, It was a 10 minute walk to the nearest level 3 grindspot, the time shortened to 7 minutes thanks to his brisk pace and AGILITY stat, it was a clear and grassy meadow filled to the brim with cute little red hares hiding inside small bushes and shrubs, Onille rummaged on his bag and pulled out a cube that then transformed into a bow. He scanned the weapon on his hand checked its stats.
*Ting
Noob LongBow:
Item Rarity: Normal
Item Damage: 5-10
Item Durability: 200
Item type: LongBow
Item Requirements: None*
Then he opened his only skill and grinned, he's sure he's one of the few players that has a skill this high. It usually starts at zero for every new player then increases with proficiency.
[Bow Mastery(II)]: Increases users accuracy and speed of fired arrows.
It might be annoying but all starting weapons have noob on it and starting weapons don't have any requirements like Weapon Mastery or Attributes so it's durability is abyssmal.
He saw one small bunny and scanned it.
*Ting
Hare
Rarity: Common
Level: 2
Hitpoints: 1000*
He smiled, knocking his arrow and aimed at the target. Bow related classes normal attacks are usually calculated by adding weapon damage +50% maximum STR stat and 50% maximum DEX stat, so this way Archers have to prioritize both stats
He can deal 22-25 flat damage for every arrow if he hits it but that doesn't mean the mobs wouldn't strike back, the Hare jumped at him at breakneck speed the moment he fired. The little thing was huge for a rabbit, its height on all fours could reach Onille's kneecaps and they'd be bigger if they stood. Since it was a low level mob, all it had inside its tiny little mind is lunge, bite and kill... The instinct to dodge or retreat wasn't programmed in its mind.
Despite its shortcomings it could still kill Onille pretty easily and it would take at the very least a minute and a handful of arrows to kill one rabbit. Looking around he saw that no one else was near this low leveled grindspot and so he fired away.
He started with one and easily killed it in under a minute with how precise he is with the bow, some newbies would lose their sh*t if they find out that Onille has a 100% hit rate. Afterwards he picked up the arrows, the reason for how slow he killed it is because of his severely lacking Dexterity attribute, attack speed can strangely be calculated using (DEX) but I wouldn't bother to bore you with the calculation details 'cause most often than not it's not gonna matter in most fights.
The grind continued and Onille didn't bother to address the gnawing questions in his mind.
He went to another but he wasn't satisfied and shot at 2 hares at the same time, despite his cloudy and distraught mind his focus to hit the two mobs was beyond what current newbies were capable of. He kept pulling more and more mobs, pushing himself to the limits of his stamina, just so he could take in his current predicament and calm down.
...
In a room filled to the brim with computers a man sat in a daze after listening to Maintenance report, what exactly is he hearing right now? A male player turned into a fucking woman inside his game?! Gender is suppose to be unchangeable in this game.
Did you see any gender changing options in the Account Creation process?
NO! THERE IS NOT!
Although he wanted to instantly delete the character... but Maintenance wouldn't allow it! The flippin A.I said that doing so would greatly destabilize the main plot line of the Game's Progression. If what Maintenance says is true... The 500 gold and Goddess Gift is a sort of bribe to keep the player from instantly remaking his Character! and even if he wants to... he doesn't have such a choice in the first place once he opens The Gift!
