" Welcome the AI Lilith has granted you a chance of the > New beginning < " A female voice resounded from everywhere and no where at the same time.
" The scan of your retina and cerebral cortex has decleared you a returning player , defiying the logic this world underlies would you like to register for the > New beginning< ? "
' Huh , this is kind of new ! ' Craig thought.
" Yes. " I replied.
" Please select your Name. " She told me.
" Grim. " I told the voice.
" Request impossible , this is the name of a legendary adventurer with the nickname of the Ruby prince , it has been locked by the Ai Palanthalos. " The voice said after a slight giggle which sounded incredibly girly.
Craig sighed vehemently.
" Random then. "
" Sturm , has been selected from the letters of you real name. " The voice replied.
" There are currently 5 unlocked races , Humans , Dwarves , Elvs , Draconians and Orks. But you can't choose either of them." The female voice told me.
' What the heck is wrong with this program! ' Craig thought.
" Excuse me? "
" Hidden race has been selected. Proceeding with next step. " The female voice ignored him.
" WAIT WAIT WAIT , explanation. " Craig said.
5 minutes passed without a word but the female voice seemed to sigh before she continued.
" If i must. The hidden race has been selected it was called many things in the past. The most accurate description now a days would be Dunedain. "
" Show the race dunedains traits. " Craig tried to give a command.
This was once again replied with a sigh but a little bubble appeared in front of him. The letters were undreadable , as they were to small for the bare eye so Craig clicked the little button with his finger and it flew closer until he could read it.
-
Dunedain , or High-elfs , Ice-elfs etc etc etc , This race belongs to a long forgotten Godess of purity , intelligence and goodness. Many minor gods are associated with the godess and while choosing this race , forcebly or not , one may uncover the other races that are associated with the forgotten godesses domain.

' Wow wow wow , what the heck. I can't be a tank anymore WHAT THE HELL! ' Craig thought.
" Explanation of 1/3 C R . " Craig said.
After another sigh a new Window appeared.
- 1 /3 C R.
As this is a superior race that gains many benefits the gods have sealed their progress.
Requires 1/3 more experience to level up the avatars.
' hmm sounds actually fair considering the bonuses of being in chilly places. ' Craig continued his train of thought.
" Show description of Innate magic user. "
- Innate magic users don't require casting times as they have been infused with magic while being received , in the womb and during birth.
They don't require any prior knowledge of Languages , spellbooks or have to learn magic in a ordinary fashion.
Craig already made the plan he had in mind for this new ' Avatar ' to walk down a certain path. Even though he had to give up on doing the thing he loved , beating people face to face , he gained the ability to play TnB again with its many adventures and people to meet.
" Proceed with registratrion. " Craig commanded.
" Confirmed race: Dunedain. Apperance selection , has been chosen for you. " The female voice said and giggled again.
" AHHH why do machines mock me ! " Craig shouted out.
" Your starting stats and Class has been decided for you. Welcome to your > New beginning< , Grim . " The voice giggled as she told him this while another feeling of weightlessness assaulted me.
.............................
" STUPID AI's . " Sturm shouted right into the air as he was teleported into his avatar.
" Show complete Character Window. " He calmly pressed out between clenched teeth.

" Hmmm i got no equipment , must be im naked. " Sturm said.
The next thing a giggle reached his ears and he immediatly looked up. Before him he saw a bowl where a single blue flame was hovering and as he looked up he saw a very attractive female , stark naked , with fox tails.
" This giggle! It was you , how the hell could you mess up my character creation! " Sturm shouted in anger.
He was threatening , what he presumed the godess , that had helped him come back to this world as the second thing he did in this world , but really even though his name was Sturm now he was GRIM! But as soon as he took a step towards the godess he fell straight on his face.
" Ahhhh what the heck! " Sturm shouted as he looked at his feet.
They were incredibly bigger then what he used to. Now he sat down and looked at his hands , his fingers were still slim , or what Sturm would call bears paws. He flexed all his muscles before placing his palms on the icy floor.
' Interesting i don't feel cold besides being naked . ' Sturm wondered.
He stood up very slowly and with carefull movements. Now he stretched his legs and tested the new height and length of his limbs. One by one, first the right leg then the left. He walked a few steps and as he was satisfied he moved his arms. As he did some joga postures he cracked the tissue between his spine at the base of his neck and looked at the godess once again.
" YOU did this to me , who can move in a friggin body like this ! Im at least a full foot taller then in real life! " Sturm started to complain.
" What is a Auroria Archon anyways i want my old class and race back , i want to be in peoples faces! Who can be like that with this stupid race. Im a fighter not some stupid bookworm or scholar! Wait okay i read alot but only amusing stuff like steamy novels or books about warm tactics! " He complained even more.
Now a * cough* brought him back to realization and he turned around to the source. There a dwarf just deliberatly coughed. He was small , as a dwarf should be but now Sturm felt like he was at least twice the guys size.
Besides the dwarf , trying to cover her eyes was a little girl the same height as the dwarf. But her fingers were spread wide open where her eyes were and she stared right between Sturms tighs.
His eyes scanned the remaining area and he found a bored looking Human girl with black curls.
" Hey im Grim Gwachilmar ... oops bad habit im Sturm now thanks to this b**ch. " Sturm said as he pointed at the godess.
Now he looked at the godess and wondered at the tails. As he remembered his hands and legs he also had a ice blue colored skin as the godess before him. She had golden eyes and even golden tails.
' What wait a moment tails? ' Sturm thought.
Now he did a 360* axel around himself to find the tail that grew out of his behind.
" You won't find a tail , besides the one infront. " The godess said calmly.
" Shut up stupid Ai Gods of this world. Everyone of you meddles in my affairs! " Sturm shouted out.
" So your a all omni potent godess and don't even manage to produce me some clothes. And yes you in the back ground i heard your 100 coughs already , and yes i know im naked. Tell the stupid Godess over there that she should have created me with clothes! " Sturm burst out in anger.
The godess tilted her head and held her hand right beneath her chin and thought about what Sturm had just said.
" I understand but our race doesn't need clothes. We don't feel cold and our bodys are beautiful. " She replied.
Sturm slapped himself across the forehead before he continued to speak.
" God , the gods in this game are annoying. The kind that just ignores everything is way better! It is called courtesy to other the norm of other people to do as they do. Also it is a bit of a unwritten rule to always wear clothes even though the common humanoid mind demands , if it is not insane , to wear clothes for esthetical reason. " Sturm started.
" For example if anyone would come here without clothes and one just happend to be ugly , would you like to see them naked? No definetly not. Another reasons is why would a male be attracted to a female if there was no such thing as , i want to know everything about her IF HE CAN LITERALLY SEE INSIDE OF HER THE MOMENT HE MEETS HER. Like you just did OH GREAT GODESS! " Sturm shouted towards the end.
After he said this the godess instantly shut her legs tightly together as well as snipping with her fingers and both were directly clothed. Even though her outfit was clearly see through , which pissed sturm of a bit , his were Silver robes.
" Okay okay i get it... You are no fun Sturm. " The godess said pouting.
" Yeah yeah , if i could have made decisions about my class or race i would have been in a better mood but right now im pissed. I finally can get back here and im forced to play a mage or something , arrive naked and NOBODY has still told me why this all happend. " Sturm suggested her to tell him everything.
...................
The godess told him the entire story of the betrayal of the other gods and her own twin. After she was done Sturm thought about everything for quite a bit.
" So you want to get back at the gods , and we need to free you? My conclusion to this is that Palanthalos as the proud stupid guy he is , has plannted some defender around that denys access to anybody that trys to lift the perma frost of Ultharia. Another wild guess its a platinum dragon that sleeps in a cave somewhere around here. " Sturm mentioned it like it was the most obvious fact.
Now the Godess was at a loss for words. She had a definetly grander speech for the information he had just packed together but everything he said was true.
" How did you know that? " The godess said with surprise.
" Its so cliche i don't know if i should be surprised or dumbstruck. " He replied.
Nonetheless after they had overcome the inital phase where her new champion had mouthed off his complaints , she had utter trust in him. He was not only smart , he was brilliant , had ambition but the ones he loved he would protect at all costs and the most important part , he was not scared to insult a god or godess. This made HIM the best candidate to challenge the other gods so Lilith could regain her domain and live her life in peace , while her Champion would ward off the other gods for her.
" Okay deal , but first you need to teach me how to use magic got no idea what inate magic users means in the end run. " Sturm said.
Now Lilith was in utter shock , this would be a long day , but first she wanted to have a little fun with him.
" Oh you want to ask a favour of me? " Lilith said with a suggestive smile.
His expression became completly blank but after he breathed in very hard he spoke and a warm smile appeared on his face.
" No , my beautiful and omni potent godess of beauty , " Now a serious voice returned. " I am commanding you to teach me how the hell im supposed to fight for you against other gods if i don't know how to even kill a rabbit. " He said.
Liliths jaws dropped at his words. The other 3 that were still around also gaped in wonder at this males complete and utter disrespect of a god.
Now a giggle started to form inside Liliths throat that soon became a very girlish laugh. It took over 5 minutes for the godess to stop laughing.
" Interesting , indeed. " Lilith said.
