“Yes” Kristan said, eager to play the game. It’s been seven months since its release announcement, Yggdrasil online, the game was describe by the beta-testers as a representation of a path to a new world, a way to live a new life, some of them said that it was a like a dream… that the word ‘dream’ was the perfect portrayal of its console, the Dream Drive Pod, “DDPod” for short, just as the names says, it is something that relates to dreams, it uses the brains imagination lobe as the Graphics card, enabling the machine to turn codes into reality.
(A/N: I made up the “Imagination lobe” since I forgot what the name of the one that generates dreams is. And I’m too lazy to search, please don’t hate)
“Welcome to Yggdrasil Online” the sound of the feminine voice gave music to Kristan’s ears; this is what he had been waiting for… what he needed, an outlet, specifically an outlet for his desires… and that desire is the simple desire to be ‘evil’; it has always been Kristan’s desire ever since he was a child, the desire that had been influenced by both cartoons and games.
In his youth, other boys wanted to be the Hero, the knight and shining armor that saves the world, the one that defeats the demon king and the one that lives happily ever after with the princess… simple desires that molds their innocent minds… but He was different, Kristan was special, he idolized the monsters, their ambition and their strong appearance; their horns, their tails, and the devilish miasma that surrounds their character. All of it appealed to him… of course, why wouldn’t it, it had always been his dream as a child to conquer the world, and those “villains” shared his ambitions.
He admired their resolution, their daring audacity to do what they wanted and their steadfast reactions just to accomplish their desire… but sadly, they always fall against those puny heroes that always foil their plans… Kristan felt dejected for his “Heroes”, he felt sorry for their demise and that all their dreams and ambitions fall away, as though it was but a feather in the fleeting winds…
He didn’t know where the desire rooted— where it started but it has always been there since he was young but the first time he learnt the word… “Evil” he muttered unconsciously, he somehow always wanted to be one… but he was smart, he knew the consequences of being evil, the demerits, the disadvantages… he knew it all, all of its drawbacks. He studied it, he tried to be “it”, but the technological advances of his generation made it all too impossible to be the perfect “Evil” that he wanted.
So he made his mask, his identity, his second persona; he became the good son that listens to his parents, he was the upright student that is the role model of his class, he is the good friend that is always there in time of need, he remains as the good lover that is faithful and he exists as the respectable man of society who helps those who are in need… but to maintain his persona he needed an outlet for his beast,
He directed all of his desires into his games and his martial-art tournaments and turned them into an outlet to be able to maintain his mask, in MMORPGs he became one of the greatest “PKs” or Player-killers in his game that the game world has ever seen, he became a multi-year defending champion in his tournaments, with those outlets he was able to relish the pain he caused others, he was able to relish the tender flesh that met his fists, he was able to relish their loss— their shattered dreams… he needed those, it was his way— his solution to control his beast… but now he found a new channel where he can vent his monster’s desires, “Yggdrasil Online” he said.
He felt joy on the name, it made him ecstatic… almost orgasmic at the thought of the atrocities that he could do in the game without even needing to face the consequences of the authorities.
“Would you like to create a character?” the voice that he loved interrupted his thoughts, and believed that the question it asked was sincerely… stupid.
“Yes” he replied, his blood was boiling in anticipation and his beast was jumping in joy, ready and set.
A naked clone of himself suddenly appeared in front of him, with floating bars that indicated what they are supposedly able to change. ‘The creators didn’t even have the decency to put an under-wear to my clone’ he thought as he looked as his naked clone.
Nevertheless, he was proud of his body, and most of his pride comes from his toned muscles and handsome face, but what over-powered those two were his dangling jewels, his ‘pride’ that showed the true epitome of his “Manliness”. More-so since he was sure that he was at least bigger than 90% of the males on earth.
After contemplating his naked pride, Kristan went and scoured the character change bars, and he found, exactly what he was looking for.
“Race Change Option:” the sight of the floating bar made him happy, it one of the things that he anticipated in this game, the freedom to choose which race he would be able to be. He pressed the box, and 2 more floating interfaces greeted him with their descriptions.
Please Choose Race-Type:Noble Races:Heteromorphic Races:
The answer was crystal, he thought as he pressed the “Heteromorphic Races:” button. Light suddenly flashed and what greeted him was a line of monster races, and a floating interface just a foot away in front of him. The first monster on the line was a goblin, and the floating box displayed its advantages as well as its flaws.
(A/N: Got to lazy to create a table for the goblin... sorry)
Goblin:
Faction: Monster Faction (Faction can change through player’s actions)
Note: Goblins will be considered as monsters, all Noble NPC races will immediately engage in a fight, some NPCs will act differently with you depending on you alignment as well as faction.
P. Description: Short green skinned creatures that stand about 2 feet shorter than average humans, with stocky thin builds and ugly appearance. (Appearance can change through player’s actions)
Alignment: Neutral, Evil and Chaotic. (Alignment can change through player’s actions)
Racial Traits:
Stupidly smart: Crafts man Goblin gain more proficiency in all crafts if Wisdom is raised.
Bloodline Harmony: Goblin Player gains 0.8% more stats on Strength per Goblin ally on the field.
Strength in numbers: Goblin players gains 0.4% more stats on Strength and Vitality per ally on the field.
Unity: if 5 goblins are allied to the player, +10 on Defenses, if Goblin allies exceed more than 5, add +0.2 per Goblin ally on the field.
Racial Flaws:
Reduced reach: Goblin player attack reach is reduced due to small body build.
Solitary Weakness: 10% Reduced strength when alone.
Stupidly stupid: Goblins with less than 10 Wisdom can’t follow orders.
Noble Pests: Alignment starts as Chaotic (Pests} when interacting with Noble Race’s NPCs.
‘Ooh! This race would be good as war fodders’ he thought, calculating the possibilities of such race, from what the game manual said, heteromorphic races’ classes have racial levels that could evolve to advance heteromorphic races that provides better racial abilities as to balance both noble and heteromorphic races. ‘Hmm, goblins would be able to turn into hobgoblins through racial advance’ the thought made him curious at the possibilities such race could provide.
Sadly, Kristan doesn’t want to be an ugly green-skinned war fodder so he swiped his hand and surveyed the other heteromorphic races.
Ooze/Magical Slime-A magical slime that gained enough sentience to sustain itself and use magic or even used sword in the later levels of it's racial advances.ExampleSlime, black Ooze, Metal Slime, Etc
he also doesn't want to be a sentient gunk. so he swiped again.
[tr]
Beast-Anthromorph (Feline, Canine, Bovine, Simian, Lupine, Ursine, Ovine and Equine)Description: Beast-Antromorphs show greater animal characteristics than the noble race of were-beasts that can only manifest parts of their animal ancestry; Tails, ears, claws, canine teeth and etc. unlike Beast-anthromorphs who only maintains small parts of their human ancestry like: Posture, body structures and immunity (Ex. Lactose intolerance) so they are more considered as beasts than human, their almost non-existent humanoid similarities and their less than characteristics removed their place on the noble races.ExampleLycanthropes, felianthropes and Etc.
[tr]
Insect-Anthromorph (Arachnids (8-legged Insects), Hemipteran (all-Bugs in General))Description: Unlike their Beast-Anthromorph brethren, Insect-Anthromorphs doesn’t have a noble race counterpart, since all of the creatures that evolved from insects such as The Arachnea species, do not have enough human similarities to be considered as noble by the noble races, they are considered by noble races as “more monster than human.”ExampleArachneas (Jujugumo or Tsuchigumo), Wurms (Worm-Anthromorphs), Etc.
the two other anthropomorphous races looked promising but he still didn't want to be one. so he swiped at the screen again.

(A/N: If anyone is kind enough to edit the Race Menu table, thank you, since it's too long... like my D***)
The Undead looked promising but what ticked him off was the 250% Amplified damage from Light magic. He calculated the advantages and disadvantages, trying to find the loop-holes and ways to remove the inordinate weakness…
‘The manual said that race change is available through player actions…’ The thought gave him an idea… his head ran on full-speed, trying find a way to the perfect loop-hole to remove the races’ flaw, and he found it, it was an unorthodox method and something that would bring him behind the other Heteromorphic players in terms of Racial level, but it would solve his problems…
If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.
He needed to become a priest of the noble races… the thought made his inner beast whine, but it agreed with him in his calculations, it created the opportunity for him to be the strongest undead as well as the opportunity to be the ultimate evil that he wanted to be… in exchange of choosing the priest class to have the opportunity of raising light affinity and immunity.
Light Affinity:
The affinity towards light-based magic, this stat determines the % multiplier for damaging and buffing light-based techniques and skill as well as determining the immunity against light-based attacks.
(A/N: will post small tables like this as a substitute for his recollection of it's meaning based on the manual, More of this will appear in the future if unknown stats appear but is known by the mc through the manual)
He looked back at the undead; at the ghoul, at the zombie and at the skeleton with longing eyes as he pressed the “Back button” that brought him back to the two options he made so easily before. The line of monsters vanished in an instant, and his heart cringed at the scene… but he had to do it.
[td2]Noble Races:
Please Choose Race Type:Heteromorphic Races:
“Noble races” he said, too reluctant to press the sickening blue button. Good-thing that Voice control has been perfected years ago or it would have taken him more time to press the putrid button.
Another flash of light came, and through that short amount of time Kristan was able to steel his resolve to do it, to step forward and further his goals.
New beings lined them-selves in front of him, there it was, the other floating screen that determined his future. He quickly surveyed the lot, and the first on the line was humans.
Humans:
Factions: Human Kingdoms, Adventurer’s Guild, Others
Note: Humans possess the exceptional ability to adapt and to change, as well as to endure and persevere despite not having the magical affinity of the elves, the strength of the Were-beasts or the handicraft ability of the dwarves but they have their own machinations and mechanical contraptions that enabled them to persist the harsh world of Yggdrasil.
P. Attributes: The physical characteristics of humans are as varied as the world's climates. From the dark-skinned tribesmen of the southern dessert continents to the pale and barbaric raiders of the northern Winter-driven lands, humans possess a wide variety of skin colors, body types, and facial features. Generally speaking, humans' skin color assumes a different hue depending on the province they dwell in.
Alignment: Neutral
Racial Traits:
All-average: Average on all aspects, enabling greater balance than all other race.
Normality Plus: The Humans are average in every-other way, lacking the disadvantages of other races.
Humanly-Advantage: All intimacy starts as “almost a friend” to all noble-races.
Racial Flaws:
Unusual-Normality: The Humans are average in every-other way, lacking the advantages of other races.
‘Hmph!’ he thought, who would choose humans if they are already humans in real-life? He thought as he swiped the pungent interface away to move on to the next noble race.

Noble HybridsDescription:
(A/N: too lazy to add descriptions since its all so common... don't hate me... send me a message if you want to Add a description)
“Ah yes, this is what I’m looking for…”
Alfheimirian:
Factions: The Fae/Fay Faction, Ljosalfheim, Etc,
Notes: Solitary Nomadic beings that move from race to race to preach or help other-kin. Their race isn’t limited to Fae blood heritage but the variety of their kin are, some Alves come from the descendants of lower gods. Not all Alves are good but the majority is.
P. Attributes: Alfhemirian or Alfes (Alphs), These Noble beings look mostly human but have a distinctive gem imbedded on their fore-heads as well as looks of beauty and grace mixed in their genes, mostly coming from their Celestial heritage.
Alignment: Good, Noble, Virtuous, and Saintly
Racial Traits:
Celestial Beauty: unlocked charm at the beginning, increased accumulation of Charm stat.
Celestial Will: unlocked charm at the beginning, increased accumulation of Charisma Stat.
Divine Ascension: Like Heteromorphic Races, Alfheimirian have racial Levels and the ability to ascend.
Light-born Provisions: Higher proficiency on light magic and increased accumulation of L. Affinity
Defenders of Light: 10% Increased damage to dark beings.
Unknown Heritage: Alfheimirian player have celestial heritage that is randomized. (Heritage is determined through player’s actions)
Known-Nobility: All intimacy starts as “Friendly” to all noble-races.
Racial Flaws:
Implausible Kindness: 20% less damage towards living beings.
Unknown Heritage: After discovering Celestial Heritage New flaws shall appear.
Combat distinction: 60% slower proficiency on all combat-related abilities
Spiritually Opposite: All intimacy regarding dark-affiliated beings is automatically set to “Enemies”.
Protector of the Guiltless: Cannot harm innocent sentient beings, sentient monsters are exempted.
“Shit” he muttered under his breath, he expected the “Spiritually Opposite” but the “Protector of the Guiltless” flaw was something that he didn’t expect, but he hoped that it wasn’t there. He needed the race for his goal so he one again steeled his resolve and touched the “button” on the bottom-right corner of the small floating interface.
a golden light then came and flew towards his clone.
His clone was then wrapped around in that golden light, transforming its features into that of an Alfheimirian, his handsome looks turned much more precise, the appearance created the look of that of a guardian angel, as his raven-black hair turned golden as well as his gray eyes transformed into navy blue—blue as the boundless oceans of the deep sea… the combination created the appearance of a Hero, a hero with a face that depicted that of true Valor and bravery, the appearance showed the true manifestation of the word… “Hero”, it was the face of a Savior.
Kristan stared at the form with a frown, his dreams of great slaughter and unbidden atrocities were still a long way to go. He sighed as her stared at his will-be-appearance, he couldn’t shake the feeling that fate was playing with him, stirring his path towards his dream to come and turn into its opposite end. He tried to change his face; he couldn’t let fate have the last draw…
he touched the eye-shape bar and slid his hand but a *Trink* sound came along with the a blue interface.
Notice: an Alfheimirian’s form cannot be changed as due to the pre-existing seeds that had been created to support Yggdrasil’s Charm stat changes.
(A/N: After the face is chosen in as an Alfheimirian, pre-existing face changes has been seeded to the character appearance codes when charm stat rises, therefore it is unchangeable also, Vaax’s face turned androgynous rather than the manly hero type.… why? because I want to. Muhahahahaha!)
“Fuck!” he shouted, frustrated at the fact and at the same time admitting that “Fate” was actually trying to hinder his plans.
(A/N: There is no fate, there is only me, Author-sama~)
He dropped his head shaking it dejectedly; he was forced to take the race that he loathed, he is forced to take a job that was opposite to what he wanted (To go along with his plan), and now, he’s got to keep a face that depicted the face of a hero he didn’t want to be.
It was truly a cruel world but he accepted his faith as it was what will keep him forward and going in his path, he looked at the menacing and floating interface bar with the letters D-O-N-E is written. He pulled himself together, he was now ready, ready to embark on his path where atrocities will happen and death will follow. There he pressed the “Done” Button.
“Please input your desired name:”
the voice echoed as the small blue interface popped-out
He remembered his games, his “PK”-ing time. Now that he is here, he will allocate all of his hate and power into turning the world into his own.
He typed his game name, the most infamous name in all of his online games, the Game-breaker, The Overlord, the Death god, the Greatest PK-ER.
“-Vaax-is that your desired name?”
“Yes” he sighed.
Just as his voice left him, darkness came swift as it swallowed the world he is in, as the ground became nothing as well as the sensations for a brief moment unti…
(A/N: CliffHANGER! Wahahahaha…)

Also, i left the noble races blank since my head is also blank on what to write on them... that, or i'm too lazy to do it. your. choice.
For anyone willing to table the Goblins and humans for me... as well as the Alfheimirian
