Chapter 2 : Choose Your Starter ***!
----------------------------------------
[Alright, Let’s get started!! First, take a ball in the middle of the platform]
“….Ball?”
Ohh, The stained glass like platform glowing softly but the middle part is glowing a bit brighter than the rest. Then, some palm sized balls of light slowly floating from the middle of platform.
Ooh, this kinda remind me of fireflies albeit a bit bigger.
[Now, each of you please take one. The balls will give you your waiting number. ]
Hmm, From what I can see, there nothing diff- Please stop moving!! I can’t concentrate. Thank you. Nothing different.
Well…if they had no difference, then I’ll take this one.
When I take the closest ball of light to me, the ball glowing even brighter, bright enough to make me squint my eyes.
After few moment of glowing, the light died down and leaving some kind of crystal ball with eight star within my palm.
Ah this remind me of certain crystal when you can collect seven of them you can have your wish realized.
But I’m sure they only have seven of them, so mine is irregular then? Is this fine, using a copyrighted material?
Few high light glowed in the corner of my eyes, oh, the rest already take their number.
[Alright, now all of you get your number right? You can choose one of ten creatures I’ve prepared. Starting out from the one with lowest star number. ]
“Ara? We only have eight people here right? Why you go through your way to prepare more of them?” Sophia asked while folding her arms if front of her. Thanks for the treat.
[Hmm, you could say I tried to make neutral faction out of this. Creature with same potential as others, but without god’s blessing, how they will grow? It’s the kind of thing I want to see.]
She’s tried an experiment on them huh…
[So, no other question? Let’s begin. Number 1! ]
The stained glass in the middle platform is slowly floating and changing. Now they become some kind of transparent glass pane with some kind of drawing on them. Maybe it’s represent the creature we can choose?
A Person head
A Person head with long ear
A Bulky Man
A Horn
A Wing
Scales
A Dolls
An Ant
A Cat head
A Dog Head
Well I can guess some of them…but the rest of them doesn’t make sense. Is she tried to make us tend an ant. Or a bird. Or a fish. This reminds me of a selection on pet store.
[Oh for your information, there 6 humanoid, and 4 beast. Each of them had different difficulties. ]
“Then how I can choose them?” The Black Cherno is the number one huh?
[Touch the pane you want and it will chosen]
“Then, I’ll choose the most obvious ones, Human.” He’s said that while touching the floating pane with a man head drawing.
The chosen pane glowing and transformed to a speck of light and flying to the crystal inside Blackie’s hand. When light is inside the crystal, the crystal glowing and return to be a ball of light and split into two. The pieces of light slowly molded to something like err, smaller version of baby? mini baby?
Now Cherno has two floating babies in front of him, and he’s confused, apparently.
[After you choose your kin, they will emerge in front of you as a glowing babies. Or eggs. Depend on your choice. For now your kin will follow you until the time they will descend on the planet.]
“Hmmpf, So you can know your choice right after huh? My turn. Elf.”
Grisella touch the pane with man with long ear and the same thing happened. Now she has a pair of babies with a slightly pointy hear, not noticeable, but it’s there.
“That’s too good for you. Damn brat.”
“Shut it Baldy”
Visgoth touch the pane with bulky man while complaining to Grisella. His choice really easy to understand… Muscle with muscle… I’m scared to imagine what will happen in the future.
“……Dolls” Oh the adorable Lenivia choose the dolls. She’s still a young girl alright.
Now floating in her hands is a floating babies like Cherno’s. I don’t see the difference. Maybe the difference is subtle while they’re a babies.
For now, four humanoid is chosen. Two out of six is humanoid, I think I can eliminate the ant from humanoid list. I’m really can’t imagine about humanoid ant.
The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
“The one with probability match with me is…..this” Elroy choose the wing, which become a babies with a little wing coming out from the shoulder blade area. Eh? Angel babies?
“ah, um,, my turn….”
The glasses wearing Astatre choose the horn, which become a human with small horn protruded from their temple.
“fufu~now the humanoid one is all chosen. I think I will choose the cat.”
Whoa, she’s a cat person!!
Now in Sophia hand floating two adorable small kitten.
Now I’m the last one, what should I choose? Scales, ant, dog. I think the choice is obvious, Dog it is.
When I’m reaching the dog panels, the Ant panels under the dog is glowing, and shooting to my crystal and turn into a small ant egg.
WAIT A MINUTE!!!
“I’M CHOOSING DOG!!! WHY THE ANT IS CHOSEN!?!? OI
[Pfft, puhaahaha]
DON’T LAUGH!! DO SOMETHING!!
[Ahahahaha, ugh my belly is hurt. My Dear Atrhon, your hand is slightly off, and this is happened. Hahahaha…]
“I demand to switch!!!”
[hahahaa haaa… haa… no can do… the crystal is consumed you see, you can choose when you have a crystal. Damn my belly… how long since I’ve laugh like this…]
UUUUUUU…… I won’t accept this….
[Well, you can switch with other on the next gathering to see your ranking in 1000 years but by doing that your ranking will be reset. How’s that’s? ]
“Can’t you make one right now so I don’t have to wait 1000 years?”
[No can do, to make the crystal I need an energy, but right now my energy is empty. I will able to make new one in 1000 years, minimum.]
“Boy, be a man and accept it”
“…..*pat*”
Don’t look at me with those pitying eyessss!!!!
*****************
*************
*******
[Now the idiot is taken care, the next steps is choose your starting point. There are 8 continents in the world, each of you will be given one continent. As for the Reptilekin and Wolfkin will be scattered on every continent, so you can meet with them.]
Hmmmpf! let me goo!
“Is there any point to choose our starting point?”
[Don’t be silly, of course you have. Some continent is more fertile than others, some is more dangerous than others, and so on. But you get my point.]
“So? How we choose our starting point?”
Giib meee freedoooom
[Let’s do in the most impartial way, rolling the dices!!]
“….Dices?”
[More correctly we use 10 sided dice, when you roll number 9 or 10 or already selected number you will roll it again until you get the unselected continent.]
“So, who will roll first?”
The rooopees isssh digging on my fleeeessshh
[How about we begin from that bounded pervert on the corner. Please open his bound.]
“Are you sure?”
[Yeah, he's kinda distracting. So let’s get rid of him first.]
Ahhhh freeedoooom, Thank you blackie, I owe you one.
[So pervert, you heard my explanation right, now roll the dice.]
The white 10 sided dice fall to my palm, hmm here goes nothing!!
4!
UOOOOOOOOOHHH
“He’s really distracting huh….”
“ara...”
*****************
*************
*******
Ugh, my memory blurry, somehow. But I remember get continent number 4. I don’t know it’s good or bad tough.
Well, now what will we do.
[Oh, the sleepyhead is awake. Now Let’s go to the last step before you do your job. Preparation. I already summoned 8 doors. Each of you can take any door, you’ll be led to your room. The person who will explained the next step is waiting there. Good luck.]
“Then see all of you in next 1000 years”
“See ya”
“Adieu ”
“….good bye”
“hmpf, bye”
“ah, good to meet you everyone”
“fufu, see you next time”
Well then,
“Let’s do our best!”
And this is our first step to our new lives.
But I think I forget something…..
