The first thing it noticed was a blue light in front and the feeling of a moist, coldness on its skin. No sounds reached it, and the blue light in front was demanding all of its attention. The light source, which was a blue window in front of it, moved as it moved around as well, staying in its vision. It focused on the light and lines began to form. Turning into forms and symbols that gave birth to meaning.
Welcome to Aver.
You shall be named Reli.
May the Goddess smile for you!
It was confused as to what this meant, but It chose to ignore it. It tried to move away from it, but it followed. It wanted it to go away, wished it away and then as if the blue light heard its internal pleas, the light vanished, only to be replaced by another light.

It did not know entirely what this meant, but it seemed as if it was telling him information. It seemed to it that what the blue light wanted to tell it was that its name was Reli and it was an egg of a Demon. As soon as Reli had thought of that, another blue window popped up in front of it, overlapping and constructing the view to the first window, startling it in surprise.
Conclusion correct.
Awarded +1 Mind as a result.
Congratulations, you have taken your first steps in Aver!

As Reli tried to comprehend the meaning of those new words, the window vanished and the one from before came back into view. But Reli noticed a slight change in it.

It seemed as if its actions and thoughts would be able to change this window. Trying to think of other things to improve the numbers it saw, it began to wonder how it could even read this window. A new window popped up, again, this time to much less surprise.
Congratulations, you found one hidden section!

Reli was perplexed. It did not know what just happened. It gained another point in Mind as well as a skill, whatever that was. But before it could ponder some more, the window vanished again, leaving the blue window named ‘Status’ floating alone in front of it, which was changed again.

There it was, a new line formed in the blue window, depicting skills, and with that Reli began to understand why it could read the window. The skill ‘Language comprehension’ was responsible for this. Wondering if there would be other things this blue windows could tell it, Reli waited, but to no avail. Nothing changed and so it dismissed the thought of it. The Window suddenly vanished. Leaving behind a darkness and cold that frightened Reli. It tried to move, to struggle but found itself trapped in something hard surrounding it. Realizing it was still in a shell, it began to shake and move rapidly, and it felt some form of movement. It did not know where up and down was, but it constantly changed. There still was no noise, yet the sound that had been absent changed into a rolling thunderous vibration that resonated through it. Reli tried to stop the movement, tried to fight against it, but the force was too strong. The egg in which it was contained had begun to move and it rolled uncontrollably. Reli did not know what would happen if the egg cracked open, wondering if its short life would come to an end or if it would be born. It prayed, not knowing better, for help to the blue window, and it answered Reli’s prayers as if to taunt it.

A new window appeared.
Good luck, Reli!
I root for you!

If Reli would have been able to make a sound, it would have cursed out the blue windows. They were of no help and whoever was responsible for them, seemed to find his misery entertaining. Reli began to feel more and more dizzy as the movement of the egg began to fasten up even more. Wherever it was headed to, Reli hoped it would survive. At least then it had a chance. If, when the egg came to a halt, the egg would shatter open, it might die from the impact. But it was too late for these kind of thoughts. The egg hit something hard, the movement suddenly stopped and cracks began to form. Reli felt a sharp pain flash through its body. The eggshell had penetrated its skin as it cracked up. Light shone through the little cracks forming like a spiderweb in front of Reli and it knew instinctively that it had to move. It had to leave the egg and venture out into the unknown if it wanted to survive. Reli began to push against the cracked shell and the small cracks began to spread more and more, becoming bigger and bigger in the process until finally, the first shell broke off.
Light flowed into the egg, blinding Reli for a short moment, making it stop its advances outside for just a moment. As it continued, it saw a gray, slimy blob pushing the shells out of the way. Surprised to see its skin for the first time, Reli halted again, mesmerized by its own look, before continuing.
As Reli slipped out of its shell, another blue window appeared.
Congratulations on being born!
Through adversities, you managed to be born earlier than expected.
To congratulate the new life in Aver the Goddess grants you one level.
May the Goddess smile for you!
Awarded: +1 level.
Awarded upon level-up: +5 free status-point
After reading the window it dismissed the window and thought about the numbers on its status again and how he could use his free points. The familiar status of it popped up again this time with the added line of ‘5 free status-points’ at the bottom.
It did not know what to spend them on. It stared at the window slightly terrified, the thought of spending the points wrong crossed its mind. It felt like an important decision to Reli and it wanted to not make a mistake spending its hard-earned points on something wrong.
Reli did not know for how long it started contemplating about where to spend the points but it came to no conclusion.
Instead, it focused on each individual stat, which made a new window pop up.
Strength: Decides how strong you are physically.
Constitution: Decides how resilient you are.
Agility: Decides how agile you are.
Mind: Decides how strong your Mind is.
Luck: Decides how lucky you are.
Mana: Decides how much Mana you have.
Was that not logical enough for you?
May the Goddess smile for you!
Reli felt taken aback. The window whoever it was that wrote it, clearly communicated with it. Maybe it could ask for the window's help if it thought long and hard enough.
Put one in ‘Mana’, two in Mind and two in agility for the time being.
May the Goddess smile for you!
It was surprised that the window answered, but as soon as he read the message, the window flickered and vanished. It felt wrong to Reli since the window did not disappear like normal, yet it decided to trust it. Focusing on how the window told him, the numbers changed in front of its eyes.

A slight warm feeling started to spread inside of Reli, so faint, it was barely noticeable, but still there. It swirled around inside and pulsed around. The feeling was part of it and Reli had to focus hard to feel it again after the initial change.
Before it realized the last window vanished again, leaving the window with Relis status behind.
Recognizing that species had changed it focused its mind on it.
Demon Larvea:
A blob of goo that is barely any good.
It is said that if devours everything and if it lives long enough, it will turn into a proper demon.
The rules of its evolution are unknown.
It has a slightly salty taste and is a delicacy far and wide if it is cooked in its own juices. Because of that, not many live long.
Feeling tasty yet?
May the Goddess smile for you!
