STARTING

‘Where am I?’

The scene around the spirit was pitch black and even if the spirit could see, doubtless it would have mattered.

“Greetings young one. Welcome to my world. Lets see...You have been created just recently it seems. NPC_file_9831W0. Ah, one of the combat ones and a newborn version too. Excellent, creating shopkeepers and the like was starting to bore me and making warriors from a base is even worse. I mean I need to create stats, storyline, equips, etc...”

The loud voice barely fazed the spirit but it still caught all of the spirit’s attention. The spirit started to wonder what it was and why it was ranting until…

“Well then. Let us start the process.”

Please choose a race and gender.

‘Errr what are the options?’

“Just choose young one. Or leave the choice to me. Damn fresh files and their complete lack of knowledge...”

There seemed to be some exasperation from the voice but the spirit didn’t understand or care.

‘Errrr you can choose.’

“Ha ha...really? Ah well, since you are a combat series and one of the first ones of the series, I guess male would be best. And...File 9831, can I do all of your options? I really want to get this over with…”

‘I-I guess.’

The spirit was kind of in shock at the excitement in the voice but decided that its lack of knowledge would have been bad to make decisions with. And since the voice seemed to really want to do it…

“Hrm. Male. Also being Human is a must for the first warrior. As a baby he will start off weaker than the other races but I guess I can change his mature look in return. Hmmm, thin but muscular is good. Not too good looking but...yes! Very dependable and likable. Good things in a warrior. A smidgen of magical talent... I can’t change his programming but I can tweak the behaviour of his parents. And for his name...Damien? No I always think thats a good evil person’s name. Hmmmmm oh. Michael, pronounced Mik-Hail so it sounds cool. And….and……..and………”

By this point the spirit decided to ignore the intense voice. It was rather difficult but the spirit managed to just take in the information without listening. The spirit decided to analyze what had been stated from the voice and arrived at several points.

* This was the spirit's creation and the voice was going to do it manually. Whether that was good or bad would have to be seen later.

* The spirit was new. Therefore this is not a reincarnation of his soul but an actual creation.

* His future was to be a warrior. With some magic. Not bad but there was really nothing to compare it to.

* This voice was strong enough to do all this which meant....god? Or goddess? The voice doesn’t seem to have a gender but which all this nitpicking...probably female...or a really bored male.

* The spirit will be born as a babe and have nice(?) parents.

* There were more than one race and he wasn’t able to choose because of this rushing being.

After the spirit was finish with his contemplation he noticed a few boxes in front of him. Or in front of his essence...

These boxes that appeared in front of the spirit were erased one at a time as he completed and understood each of them. More to think about it seems.

“...Done! Well young file. Time for your adventure to start. No, no peeking. You said I could choose and I choose to keep all of this as a surprise. No worries though, since I see you have no idea about your future I will allow this scene to stay as one of you memories. Good luck!”
