'Drip . . . . . . Drip . . . . . . Drip . . . . . Drip’
as the sounds of dripping water settles the girl opens her eyes and sees herself in a clear white room avoid of anything except a single golden pedestal with a human shaped hand print imprinted into it, when getting up the girl's body feels heavy while her mind is confused from the memories of her dying in the well, but now she’s here.
(Unknown): "young child, who died before her time i offer you a chance of a second life in a new world”
the girl turns around frantically looking for the person who said that but to no avail,
(Ruby): " what do you mean, reincarnation or something like that ?"
(unknown): " yes exactly, all you have to do is touch the podium in-front of you and choice what you wish to be"
the girl walks to the podium and examines it before placing a hand where there is already an indented hand-print, with this the whole podium starts glowing.
(Ruby): "e-rm OK, now what am i supposed to do no."
she is cut short as the podium's base disappears leaving a hovering plate where it was connected to the girl now with clear blue screen with writing.

congratulations you have chosen 'Aquatic heritage'
Ruby looks at where her finger pressed and sighs as she finds out it was her own fault for not looking where she was poking.
After the announcement disappears the screen changes into something like a stat screen

(Ruby): "it seems good for a start but what’s are these skill points used for?"
(Unknown): "there used to buy skills for you, to access the skill list press and hold on the skill point option"
Since Ruby has nothing else to lose she does as she is told and within 3 seconds the screen changes into a list

Arcane Engines: Alchemist’s Scheme
A seemingly chance encounter with an ancient machine and an assassination attempt threaten to disrupt Veil’s education at the premier mage academy of Ithalaan. The bombings and terrorist actions that follow throw the entire region into chaos and draw him inexorably deeper into a mystery involving cults, gods, and ancient mysterious races. These events threaten Veil’s carefully crafted plans, but there are few limits on his ambition. He is willing to do whatever it takes to advance his schemes to become a Magus, including pursuing the illegal discipline of soul magic. While Veil isn’t a powerful mage yet, his spell wrought guns and illicit abilities will help even the playing field. The need to face down his enemies and fulfill his ambitions will send him desperately searching from Forerunner ruins in the Great Northern Forest to ancient abyssal cities within the depths of the planet. _________________________________________________________________ The book is primarily fantasy with a steampunk background. Science fiction elements won't be introduced for quite some time. I currently update my work at a rate of one chapter per week. I'm also in the process of editing chapters 1 - 7, changing the format to make it more readable, and introducing more show and less tell. The reworked chapters will have (edited) after the title. All chapters after 8 have already been written in the new style. I have a Patreon page if you wish to donate. Also, there will be intense situations, some explicit violence, and although it is not an erotic work, one or two sex scenes.
8 154God's Gambling Table
After the death of their father, six gods battle for the title of true god. As the battle rages on and the planet they govern begins to suffer, the weakest god proposes a change to the nature of their feud. A competition of sorts, a fight to the death by proxy. They would each choose a second and send them to their world. Last one standing wins. While the gods suspect foul-play; they realize that if they keep fighting as they have, they soon wouldn't have a world to rule. Unable to present any alternatives, the gods agree to this competition. NOTE: First time writing a long story like this one.
