"It's such a loss i can only pick 1, Damn", Looking at these abilities, he couldn't help but greedy, but he can't do anything to get them all.
"I think the best out of these 10 are "Memory Echo", "Time Glimpse" and "Phase Shift", "Using someone's skills or getting their knowledge for an hour seems super great, but the brief visions of the future are also great, and i can't ignore the intangibility for 5 seconds, it would be super useful stealing something or running or even during a fight".
After pondering for sometime, Evan decided his choice, "Phase Shift" it is, you may ask me why i made this choice, well, this ability is broken if you think about it, if i find myself in some merium world where the great grand emperor hidden his treasure of 10,000 years, a simple phase and I'll be in without much worry".
[Phase Shift has been chosen: Continue?]
"Yes", After confirming his choice, the system responded with a soft chime.
TING!
"Huh?", Evan looked the screen with a surprised face, the screen was now showing a list of races, he didn't expect it at all, though he's just get reincarnated again as a human.
"Hmm do i choose just a human or do i go for something else..Hmmm..", He said pondering while scrolling the list.

Evan was faced with a difficult choice. Each race offered something unique, potentially complementing the "Phase Shift" ability he had just chosen.
"Looking at the human's race benefits, it would be a loss if i go with it, Hmm… do I stick with being a human, or do I choose something more exotic?" he pondered deeply, feeling the weight of the decision. Choosing a race like "Dragonkin" or "Demon" could make him immensely powerful, but would also bring certain vulnerabilities. On the other hand, races like "Elf" or "Elemental" could enhance his magical abilities, but might not suit his preferred style of combat.
"Hmm… what will it be?" he muttered, scrolling through the options again, "choosing a race here will determine my fate on the world i am going to, if it was some normal one like my previous earth, choosing a demon or a dragon kin will be like putting a Bounty in my head, vampire might come in handy, but in the day i am almost useless, an elf would reduce my current physique to nothing, as they are slim and agile, an elemental might be good, but being an Energy generator to some high wizard ain't funny".
"So that leave it to an "Orc", a "Centaur" or a "beastkin", Evan was having a headache choosing wich race was the best out of these 3.
