It was raining, the smell was dank and musty. Skeletal remains could be seen decorating the shallow mud and large puddles of water. Plants grew unchecked and wildlife was majorly focused around scavengers, colorful crawfish and amphibians. The entire area had very few trees, but a large amount of odd looking half eaten ferns and prickly bushes. The trees that were around were huge, but held a strange smelling fruit with a large bulge on their bottoms. They kind of looked like cashew fruit, but it was unlikely even the nut-seed was edible.<br/><br/>Laying in the center of a large puddle of mud, she could feel the gross stench sinking into her and quickly got to her feet. While it was hard to walk around, her feet were pretty much being sucked into the mud due to the pressure of her just being on it. The funny thing was she wasn't even all that heavy from what she could tell. Her legs and arms were scrawny, and she wasn't really wearing anything. The first thing she noticed though was the three bars in the lower center of her vision surrounded by what looked like window shortcuts for the game <span style="font-style: italic">Kingdoms of Ecaeris</span>. For testing purposes there was three available abilities right off the bat, each were one time uses.<br/><br/>Moving onto more solid ground which was elevated and near that of a tree, Alicia found herself contemplating where she was, and who she was. Last she could remember, she didn't have tiny legs, feet or body in general. Glancing down at herself, there was a vital piece missing. The one thing all men have, no matter how small, was missing. <span style="color: #BF0080">"Where the... Where is my penis?"</span> Their voice was cracking, almost going inaudible at the end of the question to herself. The voice surprised her too, covering her mouth as she squeaked.<br/><br/>Looking around, she seemed to be entirely confused about her situation, especially with the part where she became a she. Moving her hands to her head and grasping at her short silver hair, she paused. Staring at the handfuls of silver hair, she pursed her lips and walked over towards a reflective murky puddle. The lighting was dim, so she could obviously see the glowing green eyes staring right back at her. Alicia wheezed and stumbled back, tripping over a large root from the tree and landing on her rump once again and hitting the back of her head against the tree trunk.<br/><br/>Holding the back of her head in pain, the girl's eyes seemed to tear up as the feeling. <span style="color: #FF0080">"I don't remember my head being so soft..."</span> Alicia whined to herself and held her head between her knees for a few moments. Staring into space, or at least staring at what was now between her legs. A soft mound of venus, bald and hairless along with the rest of her body except for the top of her head. <br/><br/>Then there was a sound of horses, or was that wolves? The sound was getting closer, rapid splashing. Was it a heard of wild animals? She couldn't quite tell, but the ground was shaking. Slowly lifting her head she stared forward towards the massive horde of what looked like lizard men riding extremely fast mounts that were reminiscent of a turtle without a shell and with amphibious webbed feat. The surface of their bodies though were covered in black scales with a gentle purple reflection. However their golden eyes offered little closure that they were harmless. Their jaws looked as if they could chomp her in two, and from the looks of it, that seemed to be the goal.<br/><br/>Shaking, cold and panicking, the excitable Alicia grinned wildly without explanation. Like someone laughing at pain, she was grinning at her apparent doom until she realized that wasn't the case at all. The grinning quickly came to an end as she stoically looked forward. They were closing in, fast, none of them were even sinking into the ground due to their webbed feet. Letting out a soft sigh, she hugged her shoulders and whimpered a bit. <br/><br/>Concentrating on one of the single use spells, the item was used. A massive circular opening would appear within storm clouds above would, a single ball of white light was forming. Blinking a few times as she looked up at it, she could barely open her mouth. She knew exactly what she had just summoned with one of the three items she had to start with. <br/><br/>As the ball of light seemingly turned into a beam within an instant without warning, the loud sound of <span style="font-style: italic">BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT</span> could be heard as several rings of air followed the beam down to the ground. Like a funnel to the ground, the armed lizard men making their way to her location were villainously wiped from the planet. Titles began scrolling up the side of her Game User Interface, or at least her vision and her status window popped up showing that her level kept going up as the beam continued to wipe out the potential enemies.<br/><br/>A few seconds later the shockwave would then pass through the spot she was standing in, whipping her hair about and sending chunks of mud and rocks in every which direction. A mud pie literally smashing her in the face where she stood, but was barely effected by the impact. She just stood there was the mud dripped from her face and hair. Her green bloodshot sparkling eyes were shaking, as tears continued to roll down her face. Creating small race lines down the sides of her face.<br/><br/>Water which had been lifted up by the shockwave would find itself raining down upon her only moments later, washing away the mud and grim which had gotten upon her. Watching off in the distance, the enemies which had fallen turned into digital bits and vanished. Various messages popping up in what seems to the administration log. Their inventory was being filled with money, items and equipment. <span style="color: #BF0080">"We're no longer on Sol, Tano..."</span> Alicia would say with a soft and uncontrolled voice, not sure how to modulate her speech.</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #000000">_</span></td><td style="vertical-align: top; width:50%; padding-left:10px;"><span style="font-size: 85%; line-height: 116%;"><span style="color: #80FF80"><span style="font-weight: bold">Hence the day after,</span></span> dressed in a black robe and a tightly fitted light black armor with leather padding along with white and purple trimmed accessories, Alicia had started her journey to the nearest town of Bi. It was the closest town to the swamp lands in which she had woken up and it was about a days journey. She had little food as the lizard meat appeared to be poisonous while the strange mount's meat was much to tough to chew and much less flavorful. So she was generally stuck eating herbs she was capable of appraising. <br/><br/>She had been traveling more or less most of the previous day, so she was rather tired. Her back was slouched forward and her arms were lazily hanging from her shoulders. She looked sore, but at least she was clothed and protected from the surroundings. Her cloak kept her hidden from most predators who wanted to see what she was, but lacked the ability to do so. As long as she kept her head down they wouldn't see her as prey, just an anomaly moving through the marshland road. <br/><br/>Tracing the paved road beneath her feet with her eyes, she found cute adorable shapes, some unsavory ones and various other plants or rocks. Whenever she was in the bathroom in the old world, she would always look to tiles on the walls for shapes and little scenes to help motivate her for their artwork. Fake marble tiles were amazing, but still, everything was going as planned. She had enough water to last her until she got to the town and she wasn't carrying much. Her inventory was weightless and packed unlimited items as she picked them up. In a sense it made her life a whole lot easier than having to carry everything around on her person. Never thought she'd be thanking herself for the unlimited storage bug which popped up after the item duplication bug was fixed. <br/><br/>In a few hours she made her way up to the front gates of the Town known as Bi. There were a few town guards outside the wooden-stone walls, though they just gave her a look before ushering her inside. Thy were speaking some unknown language so she opened her skills window as she walked inside. She had enough pouches on her person to either appear as a thief or an adventurer, so she could easily just get inside by invitation. Walking along the mud covered granite streets, she would walk towards what looked like the adventurer's guild as she was scrolling through her possible abilities. She began maximizing all of the language skills so that she would be able to understand everyone she was talking to, so that was good and dandy. <br/><br/>However she did notice that the item she had used earlier had appeared as a skill called <span style="font-style: italic">Smite</span>, which wasn't even fully upgraded. Staring at it for a few moments, she would tap it a few times to fulling upgrade it by five points. Now she could only imagine the range and splash damage that had, she didn't really want to though, especially in a town such as this. <br/><br/>Alicia made her way into the Adventurer's Guild building and she was greeted by the loud rowdy sounds of what looked like a tavern. Blinking a few times she stared at the scene. There were men with big furry beards, attractive women and a lot of ale being passed around to tables as well as food. She stood there bundled in her cloak. While anyone else who had the GUI system could see names and levels above people's heads, she was the only one who didn't have anything above their head. If they were looking at their mini-map, it was as if she wasn't even there, as if she was just an illusion.<br/><br/>The small girl walked up to the front counter, took in a deep breath and then began to speak. <span style="color: #BF00BF">"My name is Alicia Tano,"</span> her voice sounded soft bubbly and adorable; almost child like. A large portion of the Adventurer's Guild went silent for a few moments, some of the really big guys glancing over at the loud soft toned girl. Alicia squeezed her eyes shut and unwittingly shouted, <span style="color: #BF00BF">"I would like to join the Adventurer's Guild~!"</span> A handful of coins materialized in her right hand from her inventory and she slapped them down on the front counter.<br/><br/>Slowly opening one eye as the sounds of the people in the Adventurer Guild's hall began to come back, she looked up at the elven woman who was standing there dumbfounded by the little Lelian standing there. A welcoming face slowly pealing out from beneath the shocked expression.<br/><br/><span style="color: #80FFBF">"Welcome to the Adventurer's Guild. We shall accept your fee,"</span> The tall five foot eleven elf would reach over and take the coins which Alicia had slapped down on the counter. <span style="color: #80FFBF">"You can come this way, we'll assess your abilities."</span> She gestured towards what looked like a silver crown with a blue cap inside of it, situated on a wooden throne. There was a pitch black screen where there would usually be a large red jewel.<br/><br/>Walking over, the elf would take the crown off the chair before the girl sat down. Alicia would lazily flop down onto the cushioned wooden throne with a light fluff sound. Rolling her fingers slightly on the arms of the throne, she would glance up towards the Elf as she plopped the crown right onto her head. A few seconds later, the number sixty-six appeared with a repetition sign above it, as if it couldn't compute a third digit. <span style="color: #BF0080">"So... What's my score?"</span> Alicia gave some goofy starry eyes as she stared at the violet-blue eyed elf.<br/><br/><span style="color: #80FFBF">"Level 66,"</span> It would seem that she didn't even catch that little repetition sign, or at least didn't know what it meant. <span style="color: #80FFBF">"You're one powerful cricket..."</span> the elf would state with a thumb to her chin as she stared at Alicia sitting in the throne. The cap slowly going lopsided on her head as she stared daggers back at the woman.<br/><br/>Throwing herself out of the throne, without much of a word, and landing on her feet. She took the crown and shoved it into the elf's stomach before storming off, comedically stomping along the stone slab floor as she made her way over towards the tavern side of the Adventurer's hall as she was now a registered adventurer. She'd proceed to flop down onto a nearby seat, grumpily resting her head on her fist as her elbow found itself propped up on the table top.<br/></span></td></tr></table></div></div></div>
