BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2 Character Creation
[Please create your character.]
"Create my character?"
Alex looked at the screen in front of him and felt a little familiarity with it.
"This feels like those games that I played before." He nostalgically said,
On the screen, there\'s a humanoid figure without any features.
"I don\'t know if this is a dream or what, but I guess I will start creating my character first."
Alex started fiddling with the screen and soon finished creating his character.
"I\'ll make my face remain as it is then... I should increase my height a little since I think I\'m too small… put on a little muscle and… that\'s it!"
Soon, a copy of Alex appeared inside the screen, just a little bit taller and more muscular than he originally is.
Then, without hesitation, Alex pressed the \'confirm\' button at the bottom right corner of the screen.
Then, the next moment, a bright white light covered Alex.
"Woah, what is happening now?"
Not long after, the light disappeared, and in the spot where Alex stood before, a taller and more muscular Alex replaced him.
"What was that all about?" Alex confusedly muttered,
A mirror suddenly appeared in front of Alex at this time, letting him see himself.
"This…!"
Turning his eyes toward his own reflection, Alex was surprised at first before a smile appeared on his lips.
"Woah, making it taller and more muscular really gave me a totally different vibe."
Alex flexed his muscles in front of the mirror for a while, enjoying the vanity it brought him.
After a while, Alex got tired of it and dismissed the mirror.
"Now that I\'m done creating my character, choosing a class is what should be next."
Just like he expected, after dismissing the mirror, a bunch of classes appeared on the screen, such as warrior, archer, assassin, sorcerer, and healer.
Alex checked the selection of classes and said, "So this is the beginner class, huh."
Beginner classes, as their name implies, are the classes that are available for beginners to choose from at the start of the game.
But as you progress in the game, your class can go through an advancement, or you might also discover a completely different class as you explore the world more.
That\'s why completing quests and going through different trials are very important.
Well, that\'s how it is with games. As for Alex\'s situation right now...
Anyway, Alex contemplated for a bit as he analyzed each and every class.
"Hmm, I don\'t know what\'s suitable for me, but… I guess I\'ll choose assassin since it looks cool."
After picking his class, now it was time for Alex to name his character.
Alex rubbed his chin and thought for a while before inputting his name.
[Zero]
"There!" Alex nodded in satisfaction as he looked at his name, saying, "It looks cool enough for an assassin."
As Alex completed the character creation process, the screen in front of his eyes disappeared.
Suddenly, a figure of an angel flew down to Alex.
She was full of divine brilliance that Alex can\'t explain himself.
A holy existence that came from the sky.
The angel looked at Alex and opened her mouth, "Zero, may you have a fruitful journey in the land of Altera."
After saying that, she waved her hand, and a black hole appeared in front of Alex and sucked him in.
Alex was surprised by all this and wasn\'t able to react before he got sucked in.
"Woah, w-w-waitttttt, ahhhhhh-"
Watching Alex disappear inside the black hole, the angel muttered,
"I hope you can save this dying world…"
…
Alex fell for an unknown amount of time before finally, he saw light at the bottom of the black hole.
Whoosh!
When he passed through the light, Alex felt air brush past him, and a whistling sound sounded in his ears.
Next, in Alex\'s sight, he saw that he was up in the sky, rapidly falling down towards the ground.
When he looked down, Alex saw a bustling town below. People were going here and there, interacting with one another.
Not having the time to take a look around, Alex wasn\'t able to remain calm in this situation anymore.
He opened his mouth and screamed on top of his lungs.
"Waaaahhhhh!!!"
Involuntarily, Alex closed his eyes and only the sound of the wind brushing past his ears could be heard.
But after a few seconds, even the sound of the wind disappeared and was replaced by people\'s voices.
"Mister, how much for this apple?"
"Just 2 bronze coins for you, ma\'am!"
"Honey~, bringing me here at the fountain of cupid is really sweet of you."
"Uh.. yeah, of course, honey."
"Hahaha, try and catch me!"
"Stop, give me back my toy!"
…
Alex heard all kinds of conversation and at the same time, he felt something on his feet.
Gathering his courage, Alex slowly opened his eyes.
What he saw made him snap his eyes wide open.
"This… wasn\'t I falling from the sky just a moment ago?" Alex muttered incredulously.
Looking below him, Alex realized that he was standing on a brick road, much like those on the roads in ancient times.
Taking a look at his surroundings, Alex saw that he seemed to be in a plaza market.
Behind him, there\'s a small fountain with a heart-shaped design that seems to be popular with couples in this place.
Beside that, you can also see various stalls selling fruits, clothes, foods, tools, etc.
Looking at all this gives an impression similar to that of medieval times, and at the same time, Alex also thought of those fantasy mangas that he read in the past.
"This place is just like those that I see in the books."
At this time, Alex has also calmed down after the confusion from before.
Now his interest was piqued, and he started looking around curiously.
Alex walks towards a skewer vendor on the side and sniffs the aroma of the meat exuding from the vendor\'s grill.
"Oh, boy, would you like some Orc Skewer? It\'s not expensive, just 12 bronze coins."
