Emma 2.0
Everything was numb and so dark. It felt almost as if I was floating. Everything was black and it went on for what seemed forever but then it changed. When I could see again, there were signs that read Worlds, Genres, Timeline, Character, Family, Equipment, and so on. If I wanted to, I could pick what I wanted to play as. I could pick from Hero, Villain, NPC, or Zero To Hero which is where you get more powerful as you go. I thought I would just leave it as Zero to Hero since I want to work my way up.
I wasn't given much explanation but I thought about moving myself and it seems to work so I guess I figured out how to work it. I just had to think about what I wanted and it would select it for me. I selected Genres just to test it and to see what would happen. The word Genre flashed and a list appeared. I narrowed it down to a few that I thought looked fun and might be something I would like. It appeared that they had a point value next to them that you could use to upgrade your character.
Sports +0 – Think you have what it takes to be an allstar? From jousting to magic duels let your skill do the talking.
Otome +100 – Always wanted boys or girls to be interested in you. Seduce your way to a "happy ending"
Political +300 – Think you can out strategize an evil king or duke while climbing the social circles. Will you unit the lands or end up without your head?
Warzone (defense) +400 – War has come and the king needs you! Gather your troops and fight back the hordes and defend your lands
Warzone (conquest) +400 – evil (or good) is a blight upon the land. Train your troops, gather your mages and set off to take what should be yours
Dungeon Crawler +600 – Your life is one of adventure! Join the guild and set off with a party to conquer dungeons and clutch the treasures… unless it is a mimic and it eats you!
Dungeon Core +700 – Like to build a civilization? Plot and plan your vast underground layer. Lure in unsuspecting adventures and kill them to help increase your dungeon.
I picked Dungeon Crawler as it is more of the type of game I like to play. I normally play more shooter type games but this will do. Once I had it selected, it moved me back to the main menu and 'Genre' was grayed out. Next I picked 'World', World blinked and brought up a list for me to narrow down once more.
Heavenly Realm cost 1000 points – Enjoy your time without a care. Every pleasure will be just at your fingertips
Super Hero World cost 200 points – Ever dream of flying? Now is your chance. With thousands of powers to choose from you can save the city or destroy it; it is your call
Standard World cost zero – Happy with your day to day life then this is the choice for you. Be a business tycoon or attend a college you always wanted to go to
Space Credit 200 points – Ever want to travel the stars or visit worlds? Pilot Mechs or ships while expanding the new frontier
Cultivation World Credit 300 points – where might makes right and your fists do the talking
Fantasy World Credit 400 points – Explore dungeons, live in castles or just hang out at the pub. A world where magic and swords will save the day
Alien World Credit 800 points – creep and claw your way to greatness. Fight back from those invasive humans and use them as food for your fellow brothers and sisters.
Devil Realm Credit 1000 points – from imp to demon lord now is the time to bring hell on earth. Slay the heroes and get your pillage on
I settled on Fantasy World mostly because I thought it would be fun to play around with magic. Plus, I like a good fight but would like to have a good drink every now and then since I can't in the real world. With this World and Genre, I have a total of 1,020 because I started out with a good 20 to spend. I was returned to the main menu and World was grayed out just like Genre. I thought about Timeline and just chose Medieval for +300 points as I thought it would match well. Plus, it's just a game. I can go back and remake my character later. Next I got to pick my family. I thought about getting a small family but I they might get in my way. I have an issue with this as I don't want to be alone but I also don't want to have people bother me and my leveling. I finally picked the Middle-Class, good, and small for +50 points. This program also allowed me to pick my age. It ranged from the fetus to only having a month to live. I didn't want to be too young nor too old because I wouldn't be able to do anything if I picked those. I decided on thirteen for +150 points. It seemed like a perfect fit, I could learn new things but could still go out on my own!
I was moved back to the main screen and everything was grayed out except Character and Equipment. I have a total of 1,520 points so I selected Equipment just to cross it off my list before Character. I want to put everything I got into my avatar! Equipment flashed and I was brought to a blank screen that the only words were 'You have no equipment right now'. I moved back to the main screen and selected Character. Over my blank avatar were the words 'Male/Female' and I quickly picked female for +200 points. There were no thoughts needed, I would never want to be a guy, eww. Before I start, I look at my stats just to see what this is like.

First things first, I have to pick a race. Different races give or cost different points. For example, Royal Elves cost more than a normal Elf but Royal gives better benefits! I didn't want to make it too difficult for me so I selected pixie for the cost of 100 (-100). Now I have to do my profession. They had the basics, things like warrior, hunter, and priest. But I found something that I loved, a paladin. They are a mix of a warrior with some priest-like healing spells. I picked the Holy Crusader under the paladin section for -200. Next there were things you can pick up on the side, like herbalism or tailoring. The higher the skill, the more it would cost. Since I am a paladin and I don't like relying on others, I picked blacksmithing - craftsman for -50. I also picked enchanting - beginner for -20 and a sword skill - talented for 150. As of now, I have a total of 1,000 points so I may have quite a bit leftover after I do my stats.

I also made my avatar while I was there. She's a lot like me with a few changes of course. She has a slight curve to her body, red-ish brown hair that is mid-back, and quite beautiful. The beauty factor is based off of me, obviously. With this looking fine to me, I was just worried about the type of groups I would be put with. I don't want a crummy healer who can't hold my awesomeness. I guess I am done so I selected Accept. It flashes and 'Loading..' appears.
