Chapter 3: [Arc 0] Chapter 2: Character Creation

Alright, I'm in trouble. But how did she know I was here?

Wow, she's good. I mean, crap, this is bad!

Oh, phew... what was that about "evil"?

What is she talking about?

That's counterproductive, alright.

You don't need to describe it.

Say what now? And why's this goddess so weak to group pressure?

So, it's some kinda status thing? Honor and all that?

I get why she's got no time to waste though... But couldn't she just refuse to give a blessing?

Ah, so she can't.

... Hey, why does she know that? Don't tell me...

Tsk. She's right.

The last part of the message must be acting as buttons.

However, despite my doubts, I've got no other choice here. Just as she said, she's my only hope of getting a new life, even if she's shady as heck... Fine. Yes.

Half a second after I pushed the button came the so-called evil goddess's answer. Did she wait all the time, or would the message automatically pop up when I pushed the button? I'm not sure if I wanna know what would happen if I said no.

What does she write back?

Initial skills?

Hmm, ignoring the limitations, doesn't this mean I can obtain high-ranking skills right away? Cool!

WHYYYYYY?!

Who would thank you for that?! Besides, it's "do not thank me"!

I like the fact that I can skip going goo-goo-ga-ga, but that's not enough to compensate for this treatment of my rights as a man!!

Don't give me that! Urgh. Better a life as a girl than no life at all..., I think.

And thinking about it, she never said she would punish me either, despite this

Now that's out of the way, what are my options here? Clicking on this link, will...

Hmm, the best bet here would be the bat... but wouldn't that mean I would have to live my life as a gender-bended Dracula... or would Carmilla be more right? Still sounds kinda cool.

The zombie... ain't that bad. Other people would doubt my sanity for picking an undead as my new race in my new life, but it's a freaking undead! Still, the massive weakness and smell that comes with it are killing my will to take it.

The gob's just out. It's way too weak. When something's so weak, they can survive stuff that other, higher-ranked species can't, then they're so weak, it's not even funny. I'm not planning on spending my life having to fight adventurers as a day job anyway.

Then, it was this guy. The demon. To be honest, most of the explanation didn't give me much info, except that I can turn into whatever demonic monster I want after becoming one. Is there more info about them?

There was! And it comes with a picture of it as well. Except for the mouth and eyes, it looked kinda cool. But I don't wanna meet it on a dark, lonely night. Heck, not even if it was in the middle of the day, and I had the whole American army behind my back as support.

Hmm, there's something about traits along with the explanation. Can I see... I can see the info about them too!

... This one's... probably the best till now. I mean, all of the choices have some sort of weakness, but the Grey Demon negates one of its greatest weaknesses.

When I worked with the documents before, I learned that creatures ranked G all evolve when they reach Lv.10, so even if this species' weak, it's only a temporary weakness at best. 

The bad news, except for the race's fragility, is that Karma Value thing, but that's probably just 'cause demons are like that from the beginning. That I can't become anything other than demons are kinda frustrating, but hey. No increase in Holy- and Curse attribute damage is worth it. Wonder why Curse is included?

Even so, I've learned a little about these skills by designing all those races from before, and I can conclude that obtaining Monster Skills is way more difficult than the other types of skills. You can't obtain them as an initial skill for example, except when you're of a species that has the skill normally.

Speaking of which, this thing's got an inborn skill attached to it. It will take up one of the slots for the initial skills, so let's see if it's worth it.

?! Magic Eye skill!! Oh, this thing's worth just going to the roof! 

But seriously, this skill is somewhat useful. With this thing, I can see how strong the other guys are... or is it limited to magicians only? Can't I get a better explanation, please?

Anyway, I need to see what this thing here does before I decided on anything at all here.

What's with this? Darkness, darkness, and darkness! And those abilities, ain't them broken? Heck, the growth boost ability is at level "Max" instead of "Huge"!

And ain't Skill Points the stuff you use to get skills normally? Do I get them double as fast as others? The item pack sounds more like a present for a well-done evolution than anything. Don't tell me that all Champions get these privileges? 

A quick right-click festival later, and the seven skills of mysteries were solved in a blink! The Element skill works like the inborn attribute in giving a boost to skills of the same attribute, the Reinforcement- and Resistance skills are just like on the paper, and [Language Adaption] is just like it says on the fine print. Good.

The real golden eggs were these guys though:

[Aura of Darkness] is wicked! Everyone can guess what the Poison ailment does. The Curse ailment does the same as Poison, only that it works on MP instead of HP, and some stats get reduced as well. Weakness also reduces stats. And all this on top of the reduction from the Aura itself? Oh yeah! I think this is going to be my favorite skill.

[Identification] is your everyday appraisal skill. I'm so gonna get this up to a high level!

---

Alright. I've decided now. This is my new race and skills that I plan on reincarnation to:

I've used a long time to think about them, so my answer is obvious.

The bat was tempting, with flight and all, but the demon race has a much wider variety in species to evolve to. I just have to endure 10 levels looking like a Lovecraftian monster, then I'm free to take any evolution I want!

As for the skills, since I don't know what monster skills are available for me down there, I decided to focus on stealth while figuring the rest of my skills... "on-ground", if I have to call it that. The [Stealth] skill that improves one's ability to hide one's presence is obvious, but the appearance-changing [Camouflage] is also important for hiding. 

[Auto-Mapping], which records the places you've been on a special mental map, is also useful right at the beginning. Then what about [Heretic Immunity]? I got damn scared of that attribute when I read about it previously. It's fine to have one skill for my pleasure you know!

As for my name, it's based on a certain female character from a manga I remember reading about. A damn awesome one as well. If I have to live my life as a woman, then I wanna be at least half as awesome as her. That, and it's also to please that goddess. "Garami" means entanglement after all...

Jokes aside, I've postponed this for too long now. Time for my new life to start!
