Similar to the
In fact, it was even more detailed. To the point, Daichi wondered if all of it was necessary.
Nonetheless, it was impressive to see the amount of data they managed to put into one single program.
'To think this runs on mobile.' He was astonished.
Normally, one would only find those highly detailed and complex UI and functionalities on PC games and new-gen consoles.
Therefore, it was a pleasant surprise for him as a regular mobile game player.
They used to be simple and fun to play with interesting concepts and levels that could keep one's attention for a long time whenever they are.
Nowadays, they seem to put more attention on the online aspect and marketability of the products rather than the gameplay itself which became redundant in the long run.
'Can't be helped' he thought.
As for the moment, his attention was fully on this program and how to fill in the sections.

"PROFILE CREATION"
1- [RACE - SPECIES]

Daichi was already familiar with the first quarter of the list since they were the most common type of races and species present in many fantasy stories, games, and shows.
As for the other options, they ranged from alien-like races and species like:
Not even in any of Earth's abundant and diverse mythologies and tales that have been passed down since the dawn of humanity.
However, if there was one particular
First of all, they were among the few races with a lifespan of hundreds of years, even exceeding the thousands depending on the settings.
Second, they had a humanoid form yet had completely different traits and characteristics from humans, which made them more appealing to most of people fans, including him.
Lastly, they had a reputation for having the most beautiful appearances, and elegant or stylish demeanor, and that made them stand out from the rest.
After spending some time reflecting on it, Daichi finally went for the
The pure and holy beings favored by God and fascinated many, believers and atheists alike.

"Eh?" Daichi was baffled.
For the first time since he started navigating

'Didn't it say I have a one-time access to all functions?' he questioned, 'Why is this happening now?'
It was confusing and unsettling. Enough to make him panic and start looking for clues on the problem.
'Is it a bug? Or are there restrictions am not aware of?' he wondered.
Quicky, he closed the panel and selected the first option his finger could reach next to

He went on a testing run, selecting and canceling every option he could see and to his surprise, they all responded well.
Some of them had a short sub-list of only two to ten options while others were long as encyclopedias.
'Weird,' he thought, 'Why only the
Although he didn't go through all of the options proposed on the main list, only that one was locked among the ones he visited.
Feeling dissatisfied, Daichi abandoned the option and went back to the
On the list, a few options catch his mind such as
They were the ones that fit the criteria he was looking for, especially
The most popular and well-known demon species in this modern world.
They were always portrayed with an incredible charm, elegant appearance, and seductive body that could make even the most reserved and chaste individual go astray.
The kind that has countless fans and admirers all around the world, no matter the culture or beliefs.
As a fellow man of culture, there was no room for hesitation, he had to do it.

'Starting at the beginning or continuing the circle as it is…' Daichi pondered.
Both had their advantages and disadvantages.
Taking stories about reincarnation as a baby or toddler as an example, he figured it would be better to start in the
After all, there was little to nothing one could do at that age.
Except for the irregular and overpowered characters that mostly appear in comedy and slice-of-life type stories.
Therefore, he chose

The first thing that caught Daichi's interest was the options
Did those terms refer to his previous name and actual one? Or the ones registered in the

A small panel popped up, and indeed, it showed a name.
One that was strangely familiar to him.
*******

"…!"
Daichi widened his eyes, 'Lucky seven?'.
The fact that his full name was mentioned in this mysterious program he never interacted with in his life until recently was already shocking enough.
However, seeing this
It was a name he held dear, not because of his culture and common beliefs but because no one knew his shitty luck better than him.
It was so random and chaotic that he always ended up in the most unpredictable and bizarre situations, good or bad.
Furthermore, most of them had something to do with the number <7>, which he found strange.
But, the third reason he even cared about this
The seventh day of the seventh month of the two thousand and seventh year. A date he could never forget.
Daichi grew up loving and hating at the same time this one particular number.
For him, it was like a blessing and a curse.
An indelible mark he couldn't erase from his life.
'Now that I think about it, this program, is full of sevens!' exclaimed Daichi.
This time, it couldn't be a mere coincidence.
He could feel something ominous and dark surrounding all these events and the only clue he had was this program,
Daichi's determination was greater than ever.
He was set on completing the program and found the answers to all these questions and enigma.
First, he canceled his choice and went back to the selection list.
Then, he went straight to
'If they recorded my current name, what was the previous one?' he wondered.

'A foreign name huh.'
It was unexpected.
However, he noticed a similarity between this one and his actual name.

'This can't be real…' He looked at the screen in disbelief.
Daichi glared at the name appearing on the screen without moving.
'Should I choose this name? What will happen after that? Is it a good decision to make?'
The mystery was thickening. His mind was in shambles, unable to decide what to do.
Then, after hosting a whole debate in his head, he chose it.

Was it out of curiosity? Fear? Or an intense desire to know the truth and hopes of fulfilling his wishes and dreams to stand his own against the world?
To be acknowledged by everyone and live a life out of the ordinary?
He felt that this
'I hope I made the right choice' he worried.
But, at the same time, he felt content about his choice and was moving on to the next section, a little smile on his lips.

6- [JOB - CLASS]

Daichi never liked having a fix
For him, the fact of having to follow a linear path created by someone else and without any way out except giving up everything one had previously built was too restraining and limiting.
Having the freedom to choose whichever
And so, he chose the option

Seeing all those ridiculous choices, Daichi wondered, 'Who would want to start a new life with a handicap?'
Unless one was some sort of degenerate with weird kinks or a mentally ill person, no one in their right mind would inflict that on themselves.
Which is why, he selected the first thing that looked the safest among them.
