As Dan contemplated his situation, a torrent of questions flooded his mind. The inability to log off, the sensation of pain, the newfound ability to cry—all pointed to a reality that felt eerily tangible. Could he possibly be inhabiting a real body now? But if so, when had this transition occurred? Did he die in the real world? The lack of answers only deepened his confusion.
Walking to the river's edge, Dan examined himself. His avatar remained unchanged—a featureless human shape devoid of distinguishing characteristics like a nose or eyes. Yet, he could smell the land and shed tears. How was this possible? The incongruence of his physical form with his sensory experiences only added to the mystery.
Suddenly, a realization struck Dan with clarity. The townsfolk's fear was not unfounded. In their eyes, he appeared as an otherworldly being—an entity beyond their understanding. With this revelation, at least one question found its answer, yet it opened the door to countless others
Dan, determined to alter his appearance, opened his system, but to his dismay, there was no option available for such a change. The option was also nowhere to be found. Frustration threatened to overwhelm him until he remembered an alternative method—he could change his race.
Selecting the race option, Dan was presented with a list of choices:
[=====[ race ]=====]
[ humanoid ]
Humans: Humans are a versatile and adaptable race
Elves: Elves are graceful and long-lived beings with a deep connection to nature and magic
Dwarves: resilient beings known for their craftsmanship, mining skills, and love of ale
Orcs: Strong and brutish known for their ferocity in battle
[ (+) Expand Options (+) ]
[=====[Go Back]=====]
Dan expanded the race list, revealing a staggering total of 100 options to choose from. With such a wide array of choices, he carefully scrolled through the list, considering each race unique abilities and attributes.
After much deliberation, Dan settled on the High-Human race. This choice would allow him to blend in more seamlessly with the townsfolk, and making easier his interactions within the community. Additionally, he reasoned that he could always change his race later, since his class of Admin remained unaffected.
With his decision made, Dan confirmed his selection.
