Chapter 2

From here on, I will proceed in the first person.

Well then, what should I do...?

First, I look at the screen.

==============================

- Race

- Various Parameters

- Skills

- Equipment

- Q&A

- Time Extension

==============================

Hmm, a bitter sigh escapes my lips.

There are so many options, and I can't figure out which one to prioritize.

For now, I double-click on the top option, Race.

However, it looks like an internet page.

When I double-click, the Race page opens.

=============================

Race

Human, Elf, Dark Elf, Dwarf, Halfling...

Beastman (Cat), Beastman (Dog), Beastman (Wolf), Beastman (Tiger), Beastman (Rabbit), Beastman (Fox)...

Merfolk, Dragonkin, Giant, Birdman...

Vampire, Tengu, Mermaid, Succubus...

Pterodactyl, Sea Dragon, Spirit, Sea Beast...

Goblin, Slime, Orc, Lizardman, Ogre...

Angel, Demon, Noble, King

Half

=============================

I am taken aback by the sheer number of options.

With a time limit, this is just terrifying.

There are checkboxes: □ next to each race. Currently, Human is checked. I am bewildered by the variety of Beastman types. At the end of the Beastman list, it says "Beastman (Other)." What does "Other" mean?

"......"

I might as well try it. When I check "Beastman (Other)," a text box appears below. It seems I have to input something like "Rabbit," "Cat," or "Dog" myself...

It's unnecessarily considerate. I start to wonder if the god has some special attachment to Beastmen. What would happen if I input "Lizard"? I'm curious, but I don't have the courage to try.

When I check Elf, my available points become 70. So, Elf costs 30 points. I don't know if that's a lot or a little.

When I click on the Elf entry, a description of Elves appears.

=============================

Elf

A forest-dwelling race skilled in elemental magic. They are characterized by their long ears and are often beautiful and long-lived.

=============================

Hmm, hmm.

The description matches what I know about Elves. Checking each one would take too much time, so I decide to rely on my prior knowledge. I check and uncheck various options. Monster races consume fewer points. Checking Goblin or weaker races increases my available points.

There are some options I can't decide on, so I check and read about them.

=============================

King

The king of that race. Can be used in combination.

=============================

=============================

Half

Can be used in combination. Should be used as a half-human.

=============================

Hmm, hmm.

I check Half, Human, and Elf. My available points become 85, and my used points become 15. Half, I see. When I try other combinations, it seems that Human reduces available points.

Next, I check Human and King. My available points become zero.

That's expensive!

It seems impossible to choose other races.

When I check Demon and King, a warning appears: "Insufficient available points!"

Is this combination impossible?

I have some questions, but I don't have time, so I leave it and move to the next section.

=============================

Various Parameters

* Each point increases a stat by 1.

* Height and three sizes can be exchanged at a rate of 1 cm = 1 point.

* Face shape changes based on the race, with the original person as the base.

* For "Handsome," please specify your desired appearance.

* Staff will decide based on your request, but no complaints will be accepted. (If you know someone, you will recognize each other in the same hometown due to a mysterious power, so don't worry.)

=============================

This is also very flexible.

What's with the staff mentioned in the note? They're not the god, right?

However, even gender can be changed.

I wouldn't like it if my childhood friend's gender changed.

I check "Ugly." My available points increase by 10. Checking "Handsome" decreases them by 10. Whether this is a lot or a little depends on perspective.

For now, I don't plan to make any changes. I want to be a bit taller, but using points for that would be silly.

I don't have any other thoughts, so I move to the next section, Skills.

=============================

There are so many!

I check the consumption points for a few and then move to the next section.

I wish I hadn't seen this. There are so many, and it's hard to read...

=============================

Equipment

- Weapons

- Armor

- Items

- Other

=============================

The equipment section is more organized and easier to read compared to the skills.

Weapons are categorized by type, such as swords and axes, with weaker weapons at the top and stronger ones at the bottom.

Armor is similar, but there are fewer types, making it even easier to read. There are only upper (armor) and lower parts, no helmets. This must be the creator's preference.

Items are different from weapons and armor, lacking the uniformity of skills. They are listed haphazardly, including ingredients, potions, and stones. There are even various types of trash.

I feel a bit overwhelmed.

"......"

I open the "Other" section.

It lists Small Otherworldly Money Set, Medium Otherworldly Money Set, Large Otherworldly Money Set, Travel Set, Large Sack, and Small Sack.

I check the descriptions for Large Sack and Small Sack.

=============================

Large Sack

Contains 2 items of C rank or lower and 1 item of D rank or lower.

Items are random. Leave it to fate.

May the gods bless you.

=============================

=============================

Small Sack

Contains 1 item of C rank or lower and 3 items of D rank or lower.

Items are random. Leave it to fate.

May the gods bless you.

=============================

C rank and D rank are probably item ranks, with A, B, C... in descending order of quality.

Both options cost 15 points. It's a choice between quality and quantity. I think it will depend on one's personality.

Before moving to Q&A, I check Time Extension.

=============================

Time Extension

Extend time by 10 minutes for 10 points. Please choose.

→ 10 minutes

20 minutes

30 minutes

Return to the main page

=============================

I see, I think, and press the "Return" button.

Then, I move to the Q&A section.

=============================

Remaining Time

27:13

=============================

God: "The skill display is made to be easy to read. It's actually much harder to read."

I lowered the stats because you are a Human.
