A New Life?
Complete darkness. Whether it lasted for seconds, hours, days, or years, I do not know. I woke up in a completely white room. I got up and looked around, but no matter which direction I turned and turned, all I saw was white. After my last turn I saw out of nowhere a man with such a large antler that would make any noble deer pale with envy, come out of a portal. He was very tall, almost three feet tall, and when he spoke it seemed to me that he was talking in my head and mouth at the same time.
"I greet you traveler. I am Cernunnos, god of animals, nature and fertility. You are in the epitome of entering my realm of power, and it seems to me that at the moment you are nothing more than a formless soul. That's why I'll allow you to create a body for yourself. Choose carefully that you can create only one body according to your ideas.
Suddenly a blue screen appeared in front of me.
<< Attribute Points in your character screen
To call up your character screen,
think or say: Status.>>>>
I looked around. In the meantime we were in a forest like in the most beautiful storybook. The birds were chirping and even one or the other hare was hopping over the meadow we were standing on. "Where are we? I asked with awe in the voice. Apart from a walk with one of my grandparents in one of the few forests I have never been to a forest. And the forest we were in was far from being as beautiful and Lively as this one.
"This, my mortal friend, is a small neutral space I created for this event. Does not come every day before a resident of another reality comes to visit and even intends to stay here. "He replied with a mischievous smile on his lips. I just looked at him confused. "You are aware of the outside world ?! You know that you are an AI? "" Yes and yes. But what does it matter? In your world, maybe I'm just an ordinary gaming AI. But here "he showed around," Here I am a god. What do I care what the outside world thinks? If we can continue now please ...
And another blue window popped up in front of me

I looked at my attributes. I was puzzled by the distribution of my attributes, so I addressed the horned one.
"Ah yes, your physical and spiritual strengths and weaknesses are determined by your previous life. So, if you were a very strong or weak person, it affects your new body. "
I understood. What still puzzled me was this "anger" attribute. Cernunnos probably saw my confused expression.
"Ah yes, the rage attribute. Only a few beings are blessed with this gift and few have learned to control it. "
I looked at him with astonished eyes and was about to ask a question, but he brushed my question aside with a raised hand. "No questions about that. Even if I wanted to answer you, I can not do it. One of the laws that has been put on us gods. For everything else, however, I can give you an answer. But go fast, my little animals are quickly Impatient without me and do something else.
"What do my attributes mean?
Instead of the horned god answering me, a blue box appeared again.
(Endurance: is how long you can perform an action (1 point = 10 stamina)).
(Anger:? Other ways of using it can be disclosed)
(Dexterity: describes your coordination and speed and how good your ranged weaponry is and your chance for critical hits.)
(Intelligence: determines the size of your mana pool (1 intelligence = 10 mana) and how you understand the world around you. Other ways of using it can be disclosed)
(Wisdom: determines the rate of regeneration of your mana (1 wisdom = 0.1 mana / second). Other ways of using it can be disclosed)
(Constitution: shows your life points, the regeneration of your life points (LP) (1 point constitution = 10 LP, 0.1 / second regeneration),.)
(Charisma: is your impact on others and how they interact with you. Other ways of using it can be disclosed)
(Strength: deters how much you can have with you and determines the damage with melee attacks.)
I looked at the statistics.
All pretty standard, apart from these other uses.
"What are these other uses that show some of my attributes?"
These are hidden features that only appear in extreme situations. Maybe they come to light or not. It's up to you. "I nodded understandingly. Although this was very unorthodox for such games, but you do not look a gift horse in the mouth.
"Thank you, dear Cernunnos. I am ready to choose my race. "
Cernunnos closed his eyes and sighed for a long time. "Well."
And my eyes went black.
It smelled like home. That's what the first thing I noticed when I came back to me reasonably. I can not exactly reproduce that smell but it was ... a mixture of mother's milk and the smell of my mother. I opened my eyes as a feminine yet masculine voice encouraged me.
"Come on, boys, open your eyes.
I opened my glued eyes and found myself in a nest of moss and straw. No, no nest. It was a cave. As one knows him to the wolf documentaries. Only bigger. So big that loose I could see the daylight from outside thats. "Young down here." I looked forward with tired eyes and fainted again. In front of me was a creature over 2 meters in size. She had a massive, yet agile physique. Her head was gigantic. A teenager could have gotten himself into it and he would still have had room. After a few seconds staring at her, a name box appeared over her
Level 80 Warg
Pooh. Pretty high level. Before anything else happened, a blue field appeared again in front of me
Congratulation.
You have received the ability to analyze.
This ability allows certain things, such as the level or ability of your opponent, to be experienced at certain levels.
Cost: none
Analyze. Level 1 0%
Very good, that was a very good skill. The save me in the later game my life.
Wait a moment. What a game? And that was when it came to me.
Who am I?
Since I did not know the answer, I asked the Great Wargin.
"Who am I?"
After a short break she answered
"You are my firstborn. You are the son of Sorna and Kormon. You are an as yet unnamed puppy who, like your brothers, first has to find and earn his place in the pack. "That made me think things first. I am the son of a wargin. I look around. Did not she say something about brothers? And indeed! Two miniature wargs lay a few inches behind me and slept. They were about the size of a full-grown dog. A pretty big dog. Just about 80cm-1 meter
Big and as agile as our mother. I, on the other hand, was already 1.15-1.20 meters tall, and as far as I understood, we had been born today. No living thing can give birth to such big children. Although, looking at the size of the Wargin, you could already imagine it.
And then hunger overcame me to such a huge hunger that I began to fiep and followed the milk odor of my giant mother's teats I succeeded to them and began to suck. I do not know how long I lay there and sucked, only that someday my two brothers came to it and also to suck on. The last thing I heard before I fell into a deep slumber was my mother's voice, "Eat and wake my little ones, you will strengthen the clan."
