Computer: System has detected that you are a member of the Artemis Project. Loading Main AI. Codename "The Goddess"
Goddess: "Welcome. I heard about you from my masters. Don't worry, you should be able to talk in a language we understand. I was told to explain all that you wished to know pertaining to this world, as well as give advice on your custom race. Due to the nature of your existence in Royal Road, you shall get a custom race predefined by the developers. this race was made specifically for you to help you in your adventures, since other pre-existing races didn't fit the criteria we needed for you to spend your time in peace.
Your new race is known as a "Celestial Beast." They have been extinct for over 3000 years. They are divine beings of all types. However, their markings set them apart from other beasts and monsters. They are born with the innate ability of telepathy, and shape-shifting from their real form to the humanoid equivalent of the base subspecies. How Celestial Beasts are categorized is different from other animals and monsters. They had a sub-species for all existing animals, but then one day they just vanished into thin air. However, to this day, they are still revered as holy beasts that shouldn't be trifled with.
Now, onward to your character creation."

The tattoos on her body are Tron-esque in nature. They connect to all four limbs. The tattoos' thickness is decent on the front and back of all limbs. When it gets to her "Wrists" and "ankles", they stop and go in a circle around the wrist/ankle. Then, smaller, but similar, lines go from the circle over the fingers, front to back, leaving a zero on the palm, before reconnecting to the ring on the wrist/ankle. This tattoo also exists on the Neko-Human as well, but only the ring on the wrists, the lines on the fingers, and circle on the palm of the hands.
Goddess: "Sure, give me a moment."
Artemis: "In Cat Form, I want black fur. As a Demi-Human(cat), I want black hair with streaks of hair that are like my tattoo, thus they change color depending on my mood"
Goddess: "Done."
Artemis: "That's perfect, thanks!"
Goddess: "No problem. It is my job to aid you."
Due to Administration Lock, Starting location is set to: The Citadel of Serabourg, Rosenheim Kingdom
Are you ready to finalize your character?
Artemis: "Yes."
Artemis was surrounded by a flash of light, as the scenery changed drastically before her eyes. Eventually, this subsided and she saw that she appeared to be in front of a Fountain. Immediately players surrounded her, murmuring in disbelief. "Is this a monster?" "What is this? An event?" Artemis was scared, but had nowhere to go. She stood her ground. When an NPC Guard came over after noticing the commotion, he noticed what the group of adventurers were surrounding, and instantly realized what the creature standing before him was. He moved to defend her, and disperse the crowd. After they backed up, he knelt down, like a knight would to his king, towards Artemis. Confused, she puts a paw on his shoulder to try to tell him to get up. He appeared to realize her intent, and does just that.

Guard: "Milady, I know you are a young Celestial Beast. As is, you cannot transform, nor speak, but we all know that you are not some monster or mindless beast. Please forgive the adventurers, as they do not know. Had it not been that we still revere your kind highly for all the help they gave us in the past, we wouldn't know either. Honestly, we thought your kind was all but extinct! It's wondrous that we were wrong, and noble creatures still exist! I am humbled to be in your presence. I shall go inform the lord about you at once! He shall warn all adventurers, guards, and locals about you. I'm sure they will welcome you favorably."
Artemis honestly didn't care, but was still glad she met this guard. She then decided to have a look around town. Eventually, she stopped at a large building that had adventurers hitting scarecrows. For some reason, she decided to enter to watch them in hopes to find out why they were wasting time hitting something stationary, and not real prey.
The instructor noticed her, and started talking to her. However the adventures in the vicinity looked at him like he was insane, talking to a cat and all. However, he was oblivious. He mentions that he was informed that she was coming and that he set something special up for her to train on if she wanted. She gives him a confused look until he brought out the item in question..... a cat scratching post.
Artemis, now overjoyed, starts to sharpen her claws on it without any care in the world. After a while, she snaps out of her daze and notices a window appear.
Strength +1(x10)
"Interesting ,"she thought.
All of a sudden, she felt great pain in her side and she flew across the room. She weakly manages to get up on all fours, when she notices four adventures laughing where she once stood.
Goon Leader: "Look guys, this city is awesome! The training hall even includes a monster to beat up!"

Necromancer and Co.
In a time before the existence of the present, the gods decided to create a plane of existence where all their creations could exist in the same place. In it, all would be fair, and all gaps between races and technological advancements could be crossed with a single system that the gods had created. Every year, the gods would choose a new race to put in their land, and in this new group of beautifully unlucky people, Alen, his friends, and a few people from Earth have finally met their turn to be tossed into the playground of the gods. Unfortunately though, Alen was thrust into a forest of corpse-eating bears and horribly smelly undead on his first day, one of the many danger-zones of the continent the gods had chosen to throw them in. It would be easy to say that he simply died within the first day, or that he'd starved to death or whatever, but let's be honest... That story would be no fun to tell, yes? (Re-write of my first fiction with the same name.)

Continuity
I’m writing this all down because I don’t know what else to do with it. This whole experience has been so completely insane that I must record it so people in the future can understand what is going on. Maybe someday someone else can make sense of it. Maybe that person is you, I have no idea. JR awakens from a dream to find that he is late for work! When he tries to call in, he realizes that something is not right. That’s when his friend and co-worker, Frank, calls him and informs him of what just happened to their workplace. JR finds himself in a world that grows increasingly surreal with every passing day. There are basic facts about himself are missing from his memory. When was his birthday again? Taking place in Chicago in the near future, strange buildings, strange events and stranger people populate this world on the other side of the looking glass. JR is left to struggle with his new job and new surroundings, but luckily his old friend Frank is still there to help guide him. He makes many friends who have interesting takes on life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. First alerted by Frank, JR slowly becomes aware of a danger lurking in the background that is gradually spreading despite the fact that no one else seems to notice it or acknowledge that he might be on to something. All of this combines to make the novel Continuity about fear, anxiety and paranoia in a perplexing world that seems to be both real and not real at the same time. Rumored to be about 15 chapters and less than 200 pages the novel is written in a first person perspective that breaks the forth wall and will either leave you laughing with delight or scratching your head in confusion, or maybe both!? The one thing it won’t be is boring!

The Meaning of Life
It all started with that voice. One day, a slightly psychopathic teenager named Krey heard a voice in his dream. A goddess's request, a new world, the legacies of the Divine realms, the never-ending storms in the world of Salratia. With the carefree thought of "I shall live as I please~!", Krey sets out to begin his 'otaku' dream. But it is not smooth sailing. Troublesome divine entities, mortal politics and the relationship with his new companions. How could he, a former assassin and former odd-jobs part-time high school student worker (not to mention an otaku), a perfect example of a loner (though he himself doesn't seem to realize it) be able to handle this problem? "Ei! Whatever, there's still a few more centuries! I'll go travel the world in peace!" [Author here. This is my first time writing a story in RRL. Criticism is very welcome as long as it is educational and has some tips and bits of advice for me. I am still learning]
