(If I place brackets that means I as the author am speaking)
As the timer reached 1, a notification appeared infront of Kinei once more.
[Developer here. I'm regretful to inform you all that the game had a small issue and now you need to wait for another 10 minutes, it's just ten minutes so please don't curse me and my descendants to die alone, thank you.
Ps: here's fun thing to do for everyone here!!! Roulette wheel for your race and appearance!!!]
Kinei grumbled silently as she read the contents, she wouldn't curse his descendants, but she hoped someone else would!!! Jokes aside she was interested in this roulette wheel, immediately opening the small glowing icon that would continuously buzz with a '!' atop it.
[Welcome to the 10 minute exclusive roulette wheel! This wheel will decide your race specifics and appearance! It won't change your gender though. Good luck and I hope you don't hate what you get because no take backsies!!!
Ps: if you don't spin then you use your normal appearance, and your race specifics are decided randomly but with bad ones having higher chances so spin!!!]
Kinei didn't really care about the roulette wheel but the idea of changing her appearance sounded really great! Hopefully, she would get less stares while playing the game!!!
With this as her thought process Kinei decided to click the bright yellow flashing button with SPIN written in the middle.
The wheel spun, spun and spun, before Kinei knew it. It had been 9 minutes of continuous spinning, before finally it stopped, a nervous expression clear on her face as she read the contents.
[CONGRATULATIONS! You Rolled "Race Specifics: Dragon Beastman."
Description: A type of beastman that is a descendant of the Dragon King's Illegitimate Child Ragnaryo. Cool Developer Note: The beginning will be tough little worm-like dragon, also you can't accept quests from most humam factions and you will hunted by the dragon slayers if you make too big of a mark. But your relation with beastman king Ragnator will start out better!!! (He's also a dragon beastman!1!)]
[CONGRATULATIONS! You Rolled "Appearance: Short White Haired Aloof Vampire Level Anemic Female With A Petite Frame!!!"
Description: You will have a petite frame with white hair and a short body, your facial features will be sharp and elegant, you will also have pale skin on the level of anemic vampires.
Cool Developer Notes: In my opinion, kinda cute. Not sure about others, ALSO YOU WILL NOT BE A LOLI, SO CRY! by short I mean around 5'4ish, leaving that up to your luck!!! Also yes, you will NOT have a big chest, so yeeeahhh. Sorry not sorry!]
Kinei felt a bit unsure about the dragon stuff, so she left that be. But she felt fine with everything else, she didn't really have a clear picture on what she would look like since she had never seen a white haired super anemic looking shortie. But she hoped it wouldn't be hideous, otherwise she would still get stares.
Before Kinei even knew it the timer reached 0 and she was taken to the main game.
Kinei spawned in a very strange village covered by gigantic trees that looked atleast 300ft tall, it was terrifying being next to such behemoth trees. Kinei felt like she had a new appendage, her attention immediately going to the tail behind her that subconsciously wagged, it wouldn't stop no matter what she tried, but of course who knew how hard it was to control a third arm, or... Third leg? She didn't know what to call it so she stuck with tail.
Eventually after what seemed like hours when it was actually just 15 seconds, she learnt how to move it around, wasn't really that hard. It felt like moving your tongue but right next to your rear! Which now that she thought about it was a stupid avalogy.
Kinei rubbed her temples as she thought of what to do, before realizing she had two small horns protruding out the top of her head, they were about a soda can thick while being about as tall as her index finger, which now that she looked at her fingers realized they were almost pure white. Calling skin like that snow would be an understatement.
Finally Kinei looked away from her visible appearance, noting down she was wearing rags- and walked around the village, gazing at the medieval themed houses and shacks, the beautiful stone brick path-way she walked on had dozens of cracks and she was just flabbergasted at the single Developer's attention to detail.
Kinei noticed a bunch of NPCs and players that were doing their things, the NPCs were all of unique races, some being Elves, some being Sprites, some being Humans while most were Beastmen and- HOLY FLYING TOMATO WAS THAT AN ORC?!
Kinei easily differentiated the players and NPCs as the players had cool green squares above them while the NPCs just looked like regular- er. NPCs? All the players in the village she saw were beastman, with different beastial features, or so she called them. Some looked like bunnies while some looked like lizards, they all had unique animal characteristics to their names!
Kinei stumbled upon a really old looking village shack with a beastman NPC that had a beautiful pair of fox ears and a fox's tail inside.
"Hello, young kin of King Ragnator. What can I do for you today?" The NPC said gazing at the wings and horns and tail on Kinei. (Kinei didn't notice the wings as nobody can look exactly behind themselves not did she feel them since she has been walking in the open minding her own business)
Kinei remembered to treat the NPC with great kindness as that's the one of the ways to trigger a quest.
"Hello elder beastman, I don't require anything, do you need any help elder beastman?" Kinei said in a respectful and humble tone.
The old NPC that seemed to have the characteristics of a fox smiled slyly before taking out a list of errands. "I thank you very much for asking, complete all of these and bring me the completed list for a good reward."
Kinei felt a bit confused at the sly smile but immediately understood from the 4 items on the To-Do List given by the NPC. All of them were weird ranging from killing five Warhels, which is a type of wolf ingame, to finding a missing Kulenchucu which is a type of cat. Kinei silently grumbled before beginning the tasks, starting the warhel battling one.
It took Kinei a good minute before she found the warhel's den, suddenly Kinei realized she didn't even know her skills or how she attacked. Only realizing she carried a beginner wooden sword.
The absent-minded Kinei opened up her user interface.

END.]
Kinei gasped at the large amounts of information, storing it all inside her brain. Her skills were pretty cool, but she had just realized she had wings thanks to the skill called fly.
Back on point, Kinei went inside the den after confirming a few things. It was dark and damp and very spacious with multiple underground pathways, WERE THESE GUYS WOLVES OR MOLES?! Anyways Kinei ventured a bit deeper, before! Suddenly she heard the sound of a squeak and immediately used Dragonfire Beam, she was nervous and she wasn't some hardcore gamer, she knew nothing about saving Mana or keeping trump cards so of course, she used her strongest skill at the beginning, the den shook and collapsed on itself.
Fortunately, our little currently white haired protagonist managed to escape the den with her life. Before she took a look at the notifications she got.
[You have run out of Mana, either drink a Mana potion or rest for ten minutes to be able to move again.]

[You have slain Adult Warhel. Rewarding 20 EXP]
[CONGRATULATIONS, You have slain hidden boss, "Pack Leader Kunen". Rewarding 200 EXP, Armor "Warhel Fur Clothing"*¹, Item "Warhel Bone Blade" *¹ and Item "Warhel Fur" *².
Would you like to announce your accomplishment to the world? Yes/No]
[You Have Gained One Level! You Are Now Level 3!]
Kinei felt both confused and happy at that very moment, before she clicked no on the announcement, this wasn't her accomplishment and she didn't want to tell the world lies, she hadn't slain the boss! It just died under the rubble of the den she casually destroyed by accident.
Kinei checked out her inventory after she read all the notifications, the adrenaline rush had died down and now she was calm, or well as calm as she could be after basically getting free EXP..
[ INVENTORY
"Warhel Fur Clothing"*¹ "Warhel Bone Sword" *¹ "Warhel Fur" *²]
Kinei checked out the description of both the clothing and the bone sword whilst giggling to herself merrily due to her free gains.
[Warhel Fur Clothing: A fashionable armor-like clothing. Made from the fur of the toughest Warhel "Kunen." +22 Def, +5 Agi.]
[Warhel Bone Blade: A bone that was sharpened and reinforced so much in the past that it became a sword. +9 Str, +6 Agi. 5 weapon damage.]
Kinei equipped both the items. Before a notification popped Infront of her again.
[Gained A Total Of 32 Def, Your Body Is Now Packed With Vitality And Is Much More Sturdy. Gained A Total Of 21 Agi, You Feel Lighter And As If The Wind Nudged You Whenever You Move. You Have Gained A Total Of 19 Str, No Noticeable Changes.]
Kinei read the following and felt a strange change in her body, body felt way more healthy and strengthed, she felt like the wind was giving her a slight push wherever she moved and most importantly, she felt the immediate need to distribute her stat points as she opened her user interface.
She had a whopping 8 AP!! (4 AP per level up) Which she distributed one to Str, three to Int and four to Agi. More notifications appeared before her.
[You Have Gained A Total Of 20 Str, You Feel A Hidden Power Swell Inside You. You Have Gained A Total Of 13 Int, No Noticeable Changes, You Have Gained A Total Of 25 Agi, No Noticeable Changes.]
Just as the notification stated, she felt no truly noticeable changes in her body besides the swell of power she felt at her core. Kinei huffed slightly as she looked over to a river she noticed nearby, gazing at her appearance properly, her horns were pitch black with small lines of red running around the bottom and top, the red was similar to the shade of her eyes. Which were the same shade of crimson, her white hair flowed freely in the wind, her gaze landed on her body, she looked so petite, as if a single hug could shatter her to tiny bits. She also possessed a rather small chest that seemed cute, her hips being exactly the same. She looked sort of like a white twig. Eventually when she stopped admiring her snow-white skin, she looked at her wing's reflection. They were decently big, one wing was about half her size, however instead of feathers they had this leathery material that connected the bones to form wings. The wings were pure black in colour and honestly, they matched well with her tail, which is what she looked at next as it was pure black with small lines of red running along the tip.
Kinei finally looked away form herself after what felt like years returning to her goal, completing her quest! Immediately Kinei checked the list for her next task.
[ • ✓ Slay Five Warhels.
• – Find The Missing Kulenchucu.
• – Help Retso Burn His Diary.
• – Help The Mayor.]
Kinei smiled lightly, she was going to help Retso before she found the missing Kulenchucu and then help the mayor!
Kinei tried taking a step before she fell face first, her legs felt weak, so very weak. Her arms failed to lift her as she miserably tried to lift her head, finding it impossible as she lacked the necessary strength, she felt confused before she heard a notification play out. (if you are unable to look up or engaged in combat, notifications will read themselves out loud.)
A mechanical voice spoke.
[You Are Currently Under The Effects Of "Zero Mana". Please Remain Still For Four More Minutes to Gain One Mana Point And Be Able To Move Again.]
Kinei weakly sighed as she stayed like that for a while, her rear up while her face was down, she felt so pathetic like that and just hoped no one would see her like this.
