June 1, XX17, 6:00 A.M.
"Tan...tan...tan..." the alarm clock rang in the girls' dormitory.
Dove Rinslet, still half-asleep, stopped the alarm. She then slowly said, "Five more minutes".
Dove was 20 years of age; however, her physical appearance made her appear younger. Her height, breasts, and curves were all below the average of her age. She knew this well from comparing herself to the other girls in the same dormitory. Despite this, she never thought herself inferior. Looking at her face, it was one which people would deem cute. While people would never describe her as beautiful, her beauty could be considered to be above average.
More than most people, her prettiness varied greatly with her facial expression. When she frowned, she looked like a grumpy office lady, but when she smiled, she looked like a cute teenage girl.
Her wavy black hair reached her shoulders. She did not have a fixed hairstyle but instead changed as she felt like it.
Half asleep, Dove noticed multiple bright lights shining. With her eyes half-closed, she traced the source to be her and her roommates' phones. Her roommates were also awakened by the light. The light glowed brighter until nothing could be seen. Dove lost her consciousness.
[Dove's Point of View]
Choose a Job Class
Hint: Choose one that fits your personality and playstyle.
After acquiring back my consciousness. I saw text hovering before me like in a video game. Below the text were several names of fighting occupations.
Hmm? Weren't these jobs in video games? Was I dreaming?
The jobs where arranged in alphabetical order. I selected the first job class, Assassin, to see what would happen.
[Assassin]
A job specializing on killing and escaping quickly.

What a detailed dream... If that's the case, might as well enjoy it...
I checked the dozens of job class one by one, it took a while but I enjoyed seeing their stats and descriptions.
Let's see, which job fit me most?
I preferred quick battles. I admittedly had a short temper so I sometimes got annoyed when battles dragged on too long when I played video games, so I wanted a speedy job class. Being fast was not enough; I wanted high attacking power to finish the battles. Magic sounded interesting but the possibility of casting time and long flashy animations may prolong the battle.
From these preferences, I narrowed it down to three options: Assassin, Ninja, and Rogue. I went with Assassin. Rogue sounded a bit... unrefined? And Ninja sounded less menacing than Assassin. So I guess I'll go Assassin then.
After selecting my job class, a new selection menu appeared.
Choose an Element
Hint: Elements have no advantages over one another; however monsters will be weak to or strong against certain elements.
Fire, Water, Wood,
Wind, Earth, Thunder,
Light, Metal, Dark
I selected Fire hoping to see a description of it but none was given. Sigh... I have to choose on intuition.
Hmm... While the other types are pretty common in video games, Metal seems to be an uncommon element. How would a Metal Wizard fight? Would he summon metal beams and make them fall on the enemy?
I wanted to be fast so elements associated with speed would be... Wind, Electric, and Light ...
Although in video games, Light tended to be associated with healing and support rather than speed.
Wind or Electric
Wind Assassin or Electric Assassin... I liked the sound of Wind Assassin more, so I went with that.

After choosing, yet another menu appeared.
Choose Weapon(s)
Hint: You may choose more than one weapon, but the more weapons you choose, the less Abilities will be acquired from each weapon.
One-handed Swords Knives Bows
Continue
I prefer to have both short and long range covered, so I went with two weapons: Bows and either One-handed Swords or Knives. After selecting Bows, the game asked me on what hand I would equip Bows. Since people generally held the bow with their non-dominant hand, I chose the left-hand. After choosing, I returned to the previous menu.
In games, One-handed Swords were generally the most used weapon. Thus, it is generally the most varied and most consistent weapon, so I chose the One-handed Sword. The same process as with Bows happened. I then selected continue.
Customization Completed: Please Wait...
Wow! What a detailed dream! Is my imagination really this creative?

Untouched (Untouched #1)(Old Work)
{COMPLETED!} A story of twists and turns, and an epic struggle. He was there. And then he was gone; vanished. Ellen's attacker was killed in broad daylight under unusual circumstances. One minute he was behind her; the next, caught between the hoods of two cars. That's when she questioned how normal she truly was. But when she becomes exposed to an unknown world, she quickly learns that there is more to life than meets the eye. Necromancers, sleight of hands, illusions, and trickery are amongst the many tools used by others to hunt her kind. The struggle becomes real as she fights to remain untouched; all whilst in the middle of an epic blood battle between good versus evil. "Through all of the countless crap stories and recycled tales, Untouched is a rare diamond in the rough. With tantalizing descriptions and characters with incredible depth, T.K. Kotkoda paints a unique tale that is a much-need change from the stereotypical Paranormal story. It has been my pleasure to read it." - JDGRIMM - Highest Paranormal Rank: #28 [5 May 2017] -
