Before I knew it, it was too late. “Useless… weak.. good for nothing.. waste of a blessing.” These were the words the king and queen of this new world used to describe me before banishing me from their kingdom…

Hey my name is Hikami aoi. I used to be in my second year of my local high school… Hajime academy. However, one day things took a drastic turn and my whole life changed, along with the lives of my fellow classmates.

“Hikami? Could you read this next part out loud?” my class teacher asked of me. I of course stood up, and with hair covering my face I took a shaky breath. I could feel the others staring, I was never one for the crowds. I always freeze up, my heart starts beating harder and I lose all focus. I open my tightly shut lips letting my voice come out, just like predicted it was shaky and awkward. As I talked and read out loud everything around me went dark. It got so dark that I could no longer see the others. Looking around I grew worried, “h-hello?” I uttered however I was greeted by no response. I floated pondering on everything around me, did I die in that moment? In my moments of ponder a voice project itself into my head. It was soft, and warm.

“Young hero, with this your journey will begin, I ask you to make the decision that you feel necessary for this journey to save the world will not be easy. So, I shall grant you the choice of a race and job, this will be the turning point for your journey and your adventure.” The voice fades out. As something familiar to me occurred, a screen appears before me. A blue outline that scatters chaotically. Text of black that ensured an understanding of what was written. A tablet like shape begging for me to touch it. Three of these screens have presented themselves to me.

The most noticeable fact was the sections stating “Race:” was I about to become a different kind of being?

The three presented options to me were.

·        Goblin

·        Demonkin

·        Orc

They all seem to have their own general benefits. However, the most noticeable part of each page was a small subsection stating that they had different level caps. Goblin having one of 8 while demonkin had one of 20. The demonkin stood out the most, as it had an odd ability that seemed to let me start with 50% higher stats. It didn’t take me long to decide on that, I was also quiet interested in how drastic the changes to me would be.

I reach out for it with little to no hesitation touching the screen, a sudden pain went through my body.  My body forcefully undergoing this strange transformation I feel the pain traverse through me, from head to toe extending, and shrinking, pulsing and sharp.

Until it comes to a sudden halt. Panting I struggle to regain my breath, three new thunderous screens appear. One remains the same blueish color another has its blue hue replaced by a purple color; my third option was most intriguing gold with white text. It shines brightly before me, the third option.
