Hmm...what to choose. What to choose...? So many good options...
As I reread the descriptions of each Race, I immediately felt a headache growing. These were all amazing options and I could only pick one! And the system saying that I should choose wisely didn't help at all. All it did was put more pressure on my shoulders...flesh...you know what I mean!
Anyways, I should probably have thought about what to choose rather than worry about making the wrong decision. If I did this right, it wouldn't matter.
So I began thinking.
In the end, I had two choices that I already had favorited, but I had to go one by one. Starting from Omicron. Let the evaluation begin!
[Omicron] seemed extremely powerful and had a lot of potential for development in general. However, I found a huge downside for this Race. On Earth, I was sure that there have been cases of viruses that had killed thousands of people. The population would then battle with this virus, but in the end, they would have developed something called a vaccine or immunity. Thus they would become invulnerable to it, or me, if I chose this class. So, if I did decide to go with this class (I wouldn't), then I would be extremely powerful for a few years before beings would become immune to me. So it was a pass for Omicron.
Then we had [Gamma]. From what I understood, it was basically like a wizard. However, the system was very vague in giving me information. Would the Race allow me to just manipulate elements, forcing me to be in contact or be near the element I would need to control? Or I could spawn any element in front of me just by calling it out. It did say that I could get stronger and eventually learn how to control lightning and such. Perhaps lava or other powerful forms of basic elements, but if I could only do it with some sort of contact with what I wanted to control...then no thank you.

And lastly, would I still be able to grow? If not then I didn't want Gamma at all...So it was a pass for Gamma as well, just because there were too many unknown variables involved in this choice.
Lastly, the choices I was debating between the most: [Omega] and [Alpha]...
[Omega] was extremely powerful in theory, but like Gamma (the elemental race), I had a lot of questions regarding the class. Yes, I would get more skills which were great, as skills were extremely important for survival. For example, if I didn't have Mana Absorption, then I would have been weak during my whole stay on this planet. Or if I had no [Growth], then I wouldn't have the chance to expand and find the unicorn-rabbit burrow. In the end, I wouldn't have gotten to the evolution stage where I was now.
But while getting more skills was great, a downside to this race was that Growth would become unavailable, which was somewhat understandable since I would be limited to one body.
My further questions were as such. Were there any limitations to what I wanted to control? Would there be the need to have a power difference or would I have to defeat those I wanted to possess? If no, then couldn't I just get control over a super-powerful being and get all of their skills and body entirely!? So if there were powerful creatures, like dragons, on this planet...No, it was just absurd. I couldn't help but think that they would have formed some defenses from beings like myself to protect themselves. So it would have been too risky to try it out.
Another question I had was whether or not if I got hurt in battle in the body of what I was controlling, would I get hurt as well? And more importantly, if they died...would I die? I just couldn't take that risk. No Omega for me, unfortunately.
So lastly...the Alpha race.
Alpha was probably the best class in my opinion. I would still be able to perform all actions that I could before, but I would have bonus perks. With this, I would be able to spread further and even be able to interact with other beings without scaring them away. Hopefully...
My own people...I couldn't help feeling excited. With this race, I wouldn't be so lonely anymore and would have someone to talk to! Then, they would also be able to experiment for me since that was what I did most during my time. And I instead would be able to focus on growing and leveling.
So in the end...I chose ALPHA!
[AlPHA selected]
[Confirm?]
[Warning: This Decision Cannot Be Reversed]
Confirm!
[ALPHA EVOLUTION IN PROGRESS]
[ALPHA BLOODLINE UNLOCKED]
[ALPHA SKILLS ADDITION IN PROGRESS]
Looking at these messages, I smiled. Just before everything went dark.
