Chapter 3 The shape of the self

  In front of me is a map of the world im going to be reincarnated, a small panel in red says ‘caution, create body before choosing point of origin.’ Beside it is a small character creating screen. I give it a tap and it currently looks exactly like how I looked in my past life. A tall sickly looking fellow stares back from the screen, slowly rotating to show off what my features used to be. Clenching my fist I slam it into the console, it has no impact since I'm still a soul but I'm still angry. I hated my body, it betrayed me at every turn. I immediately change my gender to female and look through the list of available races. I go through elf and dwarf, dragon kin catches my eye for a second but I keep going. Halfway through the list I see beast kin with a small panel under it with all the different choices. I look through and see fox kin. That. That looks perfect. After choosing black hair, golden eyes and an average height I think on my face shape. I choose a gentle look, and make my tail super fluffy on the slider, giving it a grey ring halfway on and look over my creation. My fox ears are relatively average sized, replacing my human ones, and when im done growing i’ll be 5’8. A slightly above average height for the race.

  Content with my future body I move to the map. I notice a fair amount of places greyed out, the right half having a huge ocean and the continent being completely greyed out. I move from that and hover over what looks to be a small village, the name ‘nyft’ is displayed. I look for a few more minutes but find nothing more interesting and click OK on the tab.

  System welcomes you to Nyft, reincarnation in 3…2…1…

  With that my vision blackens once more.
