VRMMO | Terris Story: Someone "Them"

03:A.Irregular, Character Race

[Code: Irregular detected]

[Conducting the initiation of the Dual Dive special authority]

[Welcome, Amaryllis Illian Linnea]

[Welcome, Amaryllis Illian Alice]

Linnea was silent for a moment in confusion as she found something unexpected in front of her. Question marks immediately popped into the girl's mind, looking for answers about what was going on right now.

However, Linnea instantly had a thing that she had to make sure when she saw the notification that appeared; because the reception was not just aimed at her. And it creates a possibility that he wants to ascertain himself.

". . . Alice?" call him with anticipation.

"Yes. . ?"

Getting an answer, Linnea finally took a sigh of relief, and along with that the fear that had appeared in her heart disappeared completely.

. . . But a little late afterwards, Linnea was actually made to hold her breath with her eyes wide open.

". . . Uh?"

"Huh. . ?"

For some time, the two completely identical figures looked at each other silently like a mirror.

No. . , that's not the case. . .

"Ali. . , ce. . ?" Linnea called out the name with a trembling voice, while her eyes showed disbelief at what she was currently seeing.

Meanwhile, the figure of the girl in front of him also showed an equally surprised expression. "Th-this. . ."

In a state of confusion, the figure stared at his own two hands, moving them several times before turning back to look at Linnea.

"I. . . This, me. . , Alice. . ?"

And at that instant, Linnea jumped up, tightly hugging Alice's figure before her. As if afraid if this was just a dream that would disappear when he woke up, Linnea called out to him many times. "—Alice. . , Alice, Alice!"

Getting a tight hug from Linnea, Alice slightly widened her eyes in surprise. However, Alice herself did not refuse the hug and replied with a warm hug, as well as patting the girl on the back.

"Actel. . ."

Alice smiled, and said in a soft tone. "Heeh~ don't crybaby. . . Alice here, I'm here now."

. . .

It took some time for Linnea to take off her embrace. Although she was reluctant, Linnea understood that she could not hold Alice all day.

"Already. . . Basic. . , I think we should thank someone, huh?" said Alice.

"Um, sure. . !" Linnea nodded in agreement with a brightly smiling face.

In fact, both of them never thought this would happen. This was a surprise, which to Linnea was the best shock of her entire life. Therefore, for the first time, he could not stop putting a happy smile on his face.

And Linnea also knew that Doctor Lia was the one she should thank, because without her, what happened today might just be a dream.

"Well, now come on, we can't just stay here, right?" alice said to me.

Linnea nodded excitedly. "Yes!"

. . . Winning, he initially hesitated to enter Terris.

But now, as long as Alice was by his side, Linnea felt that everything would be fine. And with a smile still on her face, the girl finally called the Virtual Room interface of Terris: Limitless.

"Menu." and proceed to the next option without delay. "Character Creation."

Switching from there, both go into the early stages of making Terris characters as well as a very crucial part for the players; Race Selection, or race selection.

[Please select the race you want]

A melodious voice was finally heard again followed by a system notification, which immediately allowed the two to choose a race. Simultaneously, races that often existed in fantasy stories appeared before him, which were displayed in male and female versions, and stood on their backs to each other.

Unfortunately despite being welcome, Linnea had difficulty making choices. Because in reality, there are dozens of races that a player can choose from!

More. . !

Given the Potentia system in Terris, each race has unique and different characteristics of parameter growth. Therefore every player must be careful enough to choose the race they will use. Because if not, players may find it difficult to play the character; because the style of play that does not match the characteristics of the race they choose.

Linnea returned to her flat facial expression without realizing it, finding it difficult to choose. "This. . . a lot. . ."

Alice showed her teeth, grinning a little. "Heh, more varied than I thought."

. . . Human, Elf, Dwarf, Beastman, Troll, Demon. . ,

Sliding one by one the available races from within the list, the two began to look around; until Alice's attention was locked on the look of the races that appeared this time.

"Oh? Take a look, Faerie. . !" he said with interest.

"Fairie. . ."

In front of them, a pair of figures appeared with a slight drift. And on the back of the figure itself, a pair of beautiful wings clearly flapped gracefully.

Faerie, in short Fae or perhaps better known as Fairy.

Linnea slightly raised her eyebrows. After all, the Faerie race had its own charm compared to the other races. And more than that, Linnea wanted to try what it was like to fly. The two immediately checked the details of the race.

「Faerie」

    The ancient races were always close to nature and favored by most creatures.

[Race of Potentia]

Strength: 0.5

Agility: 1.4

Dexterity 1

Intelligence: 1.9

Vitality: 0.5

Endurance :0.7

Reading the content, Alice commented. "So this is what Potentia means. . . Intelligence parameters are quite high, but the physical is below, huh? Characteristics of Faerie once. . ."

"10 Potentia Point. . .. means. . . 2.9 Growth of Intelligence?" Linnea Mumbles.

But despite only muttering, Alice who heard him clearly did not let the girl do it. "Wait a minute, oi! Putting everything into Intelligence is kinda—"

. . . Unfortunately, just once he was immersed in his own thoughts, Linnea could easily ignore the circumstances around him; to the point where even a natural disaster was unfolding, he would be the only person who could still sit down and drink his instant coffee quietly as if there was nothing.

And it was exactly the same as it was today, to the point that Alice herself was unable to pull it out.

"Submit. . ."

"Oi. . ."

Ignoring Alice involuntarily, Linnea switched to the abilities of the Innate Skill that the Faerie race possessed;

「Nature Being」 [Passive] [Race]

    Your existence is the embodiment of nature itself.

• self-inflicted Elemental Damage increased by 4%.

• the Mastery Point's income from the abilities associated with a particular Element increased by 10%.

...————...

    The mystical blood of the fairies runs through your veins.

• Mana capacity growth based on Intelligence parameters increased by 15%

• mana Consumption in Magic Skill usage was reduced by 3%

"This is, pretty good. . ." he muttered, nodding.

Ras Faerie in fact fits perfectly with her desire to create the Glass Cannon character. With the clear focus of parameters, this race was able to inflict terrible damage in a single strike.

And also, Faerie was easy to steal a start with the support of her passive ability to accelerate the growth of the elemental Skills they possessed.

Looking at everything as a whole, this race could be explained with a single word.

It's scary!

. . . However, Linnea was in no hurry to choose the Faerie race, despite actually wanting to. After all, they had plenty of time to look around.

Turning, Linnea began to find races that she thought, and Alice herself, were interesting.

One of them is a race of guards and forest keepers. Those who live side by side with plants and animals.

Both of them also want to not imagine a scene from a fantasy film;

The roots run wild, the thorns bend, the creatures move at their command. And that figure was a woman, known as. . . Dryads

—As an addition; Dryad is and always is in the form of a woman. Therefore, in front of the two there is no male version like the previous races.

In the game, the root and thorn ties can be said to be a control-type Skill that inhibits or controls the mobility of the opponent. Hence, the Dryad could be said to be a troublesome enough race to become enemies. Not including the ability to control animals that can make anyone overwhelmed in terms of numbers.

Thinking that, the two of them easily obtained a picture of the race before him.

"Hoh, that's a strong race" Alice said.

Linnea thought the same, without needing to say more.

But imagine it, he and Alice can find out if the player who chooses the Dryad race will need really good character control in order to play optimally.

Although this was not so difficult for him who had the ability above the average person, Linnea felt that Dryad's way of playing was too troublesome and convoluted, which easily made him undo the intention to choose this race. Instead of having to pay attention to complicated things, he prefers to play something simple.

"Try, others. . ." he murmured.

. . .

Immersed in reading each race one by one, the two belatedly realized time had passed long enough. And Linnea still had not determined the race that would be played by him.

Desperately, he ended up using the way the confused person did. Random Selection, a random race capture feature added by Sekai Shard for people looking for a challenge.

". . . Randomize. . ,"

However, Linnea suddenly stopped and started to feel doubtful because she had a strange feeling in her heart.

Frowning, the girl wondered to herself for a while, before finally ignoring her and starting a race randomization.

". . . Draw."

[Ras Scrambled!]

The list of races disappeared from his eyes, turning into fast-moving letters; until at one point it stopped.

[Selected bass : Halfling]

Reading the writing, Linnea repeated it while second-guessing the race she had obtained. "Halfling. . . A halfling? Don't-don't. . ."

But because of that, the girl's eyes widened with a feeling of unease in her heart, and immediately went on to read the description of the Halfling race.

「Halfling」

    A nation that is determined. They were no different from humans, yet half-grown and only slightly taller than the Dwarves.

Reading the short description before him, Linnea instantly froze with twitching lips, for what she feared was reality; she obtained a race that was destined to be short.

'. . . This game, kidding, right?'

And because of that, Linnea found the heat of his head heating up, before finally exploding like Fat Man and Little Boy.

. . . His body is indeed late growing, but this is outrageous, yes. . !

Linnea immediately approached the Halfling model with the intention of proving that she was still taller.

But alas, Linnea still needed to glance slightly upwards to look at the eyes of the Halfling race look before her; which clearly showed that she was even shorter than that race.

—While next to her, Alice could only laugh at Linnea's behavior. Before finally having to fuss extinguish the girl's emotions that are getting worse.

. . .

Some time after, Linnea was only able to sigh resignedly and accept her bad fate as she could no longer change races. He turned to see Potentia from the race he would play.

[Race of Potentia]

Strength: 0.7

Agility: 1.4

Dexterity: 1.0

Intelligence: 1.0

Vitality: 0.8

Endurance :1.1

"Mouh, Agility Type. . ." he lamented without spirit. He eventually began to regret his choice to use the Random Draw feature.

The reason is not because the Agility type is bad, but he himself prefers to be quiet on the spot rather than having to run here and there — which is very contrary to the principles of characters who focus on Agility.

He said that playing like that was exhausting. But as if not to let the girl play as she wished, the race skill she carried was in fact supportive of movement mobility.

「Halfling Walker」 [Passive] [Race]

Your light, hard-to-track steps are the advantages that make your race free to move.

• movement increased by 5%.

• It's likely pulling Aggro's hostility down.

• Even though, presence is thinning.

...————...

「Halfling Endurance」 [Passive] [Race]

A Halfling's heart is so strong! You can survive in all conditions!

• resistance to environmental conditions increased by 7%.

• resistance to control status increased by 4%.

• basic stamina increased by 10%
