The new me?

Ok. I'm finally done cramming all that information in my head.

Good, then we can start with the actual reason you are here.

Well then let me explain to you how the room works.

The room itself doesn't do anything. Everything here is merely a construct of the magic that reads your memories and searches for what would be the most comfortable and efficient way for you to use the options that are available.

So basically if I am the most comfortable with a game like interface and it also proves to be efficient enough in the eyes of the system of the magic then it will portray it to me as such?

Yes, that is the case.

Now let me scan your blood to see if you have any heritage of other races that can be awakened.

...

...

...

Process completed.

1 possible heritage found.

Now identifying the heritage.

...

...

...

#ERROR 404

Heritage not in the database.

Searching for possible error in the process of identifying.

...

...

...

#ERROR 404

No error in identifying process found.

Now repeating the process of identifying heritage.

...

...

...

#ERROR 404

Heritage not in the database.

Uhmmm... What does that mean? After all, the system was made by all gods that are not fallen or evil gods so every race should be known to them and with that also to the system, right?

In order to study the heritage, I will now initiate the manifestation of the heritage in the host.

Hey, wait a moment!

Don't just decide that on your own. This is my body we are talking about here. And study... do you want to experiment on me now?

Process completed.

Now creating an image of the host with awakened heritage.

Phew. So the system won't just start experimenting with me. That's a relief.

Now then let's see what I would look like with my awakened unknown heritage.

Just no! What the fuck! That ain't me! No way in hell would that ever be me!

Analyzing body structure and function of organs.

...

...

...

Analysis complete.

Body overall:

Shows a similar structure to humanoid species. Its height is 142cm.

Torso:

The body is mostly the same as most sentient species. It shows the most similarity to the torso of humans and elves. It has the female genitalia.

Head:

Is very similar to half-elves aside from the black carapaces extending from the neck, passing under the ear and ends shortly after on the cheek. Eyes are very abnormal. Teeth are very sharp and similar to those of carnivores. The hair is a pure black, it doesn't properly reflect light. It extends down to slightly above the hips.

Arms:

Has a normal length for the size of the body. Shortly above the elbow, black carapace extends all the way down to the hands. The hands are also coated in black carapace and there are no fingers. Where normally fingers are, there are just claws of black carapace.

Legs:

Similar to the arms, the black carapace starts right above the knees. It extends down to the feet. The shape is mostly normal however there are no toes, only claws of black carapace that are a bit longer than toes would be.

Tail:

Just where the spine would normally end, is a tail of white bone-like material that is 1.20m long but can extend to up to 4m. The tip of the tail has a spear-like form. A very small poison gland has been detected in the tip. The tail is still formed like a spine with small spikes on top of it.

Organs:

Aside from the poison gland, there are no further special organs inside the body. However, all the organs are stronger than even those of dwarfs and beastmen.

Yeah... No.

I don't really like what I'm seeing.

Well, maybe I should compare it to the current me in order to better understand it.

Well, I'm slightly above 180cm tall and have messy dark brown hair that's nearly black. My eyes are a mix of blue and green. I'm slightly overweight so I have the usual not-flat stomach, a wide frame and stuff you know. Just something quite normal.

But this new "appearance" that I will apparently have if I awaken my heritage is... kinda... you know what I mean, right?

This is very interesting. You have a heritage that is not known to any of the gods so it is something like a new species. Even more interesting is that something like this should be impossible.

What should be impossible?

The fact that I can't interfere with it now that it has already manifested. Even if you were to have some dragon or dragonmen heritage it wouldn't be strong enough to completely refuse me and shut me out.

Wait did you just say it already manifested? Does that mean that these "changes" have already been applied as you said at the very beginning they would be?

Yes, that is indeed the case. In order to study what kind of heritage you possess, I had to manifest it unto you. However, as it blocks me completely I can no longer revert these changes or change them any further.

You must be kidding right? Please tell me you are only joking! I can't accept this.

At the moment there is nothing we can do to change it. And once you have come in contact with mana and with that have received the protection of Gaia, even gods wouldn't be able to change something like this.

No way!

Wait what about the gods who made you and this room? They should possess more power than you. Maybe they can do something! And I mean like right now! After all, you said it would be impossible once I come in contact with mana which is once I exit this space.

I'm sorry but the only gods who have the kind of power to change the bodies, race and gender of mortals are also the ones who had to use nearly all their power, to grant me the power to change all 7 billion humans. So at the moment, they have to recover and can't be disturbed. I also can't keep you in this space for that much longer.

I can't accept this. What am I supposed to do from now on with this kind of appearance? How am I supposed to explain this to my family? And why is that form female?

Sadly I wasn't able to discover why it is female, I can only say that your heritage is quite different from all others I've seen so far. And as for your family and life from now on... I'm sorry but I can't help you there.

However be glad. Even though I didn't have to do anything directly like granting you powers or enhancing your body, your body now naturally has the strength that won't lose out to even the top strength enhancers. If I was to use the threat level system that was commonly used by the old races then you would be quite a threat, at least to normal humans. And that is even with your lack of real fighting experiences or techniques. Which means that once you have figured out how to fight in your new body you would easily be at the same level as the great geniuses.

I'm not that happy about that though.

It is about time to send you back.

I bid you farewell. Maybe we will meet again.

Hey, wait! I wasn't... quite...finished...ye...

I fell unconscious.

I guess I'll have to wait till they have finished recuperating. I need to report on this strange event.
