*Authors note no combat sorry just charecter creation*
As he began to drift back into consciousness he found himself standing in a white room with a large screen in front of him then a voice coming from everywhere and nowhere a beautiful voice began to speak
“Hello traveller from the other realm I am Michie the gate keeper between the two realms I am here to assist you in preparing for the other realm. You are unique compared to the others I have seen all your stats are too high at least double in all categories compared to the average. Would you like to begin or do you have questions.”
“no thank you. None for now what is the first step”
“First you must select the race you wish to be apart of you may select from one of three factions Dark, Light, Neutral or I can show where each race falls on the light to dark line graph”
“please do that”
on the far left was an angle and the far right was a demon
“What is the difference between them all”
“Each race has different culture and customs that the player would be expected to follow but for you most importantly each race has a different race stats per what you call level”
“are there differences in the total amount of points given”
“yes there are, the further away from the middle you go the more stat points you gain but it also limits equipment you can acquire and you need more experience than others closer to the center
“Is it possible to have a half breed?”
Depending on the races it is possible however each race will show hostility and it will also be need more experience to gain a level”
so I gain more power the further from the centre it is possible to cross breed so looking at this... “I would like to be a half Demon half Angel”
“Are you sure? The amount of experience needed for both of those to level up is 10 times what a human race would need in addition including the penalty for mixing blood it will be 15 times the amount. A secondary effect would be that both Religious factions will be hostile towards you if your identity is revealed.”

“That's fine how many stat points will I gain humans gain 1 point in all categories demons would usually gain 2 in the physical attributes and 1 in the mental Angels would gain 1 in physical attributes while gaining 2 in mental. You will gain 2 in every stat per level. You also have the ability to rank up in each hierarchy to the maximum of 10th level making you a demon King and or Seraphim however you start as a beginner no name rank in each.”
“Good I'm fine with that, one question though”
“What is it”
“Seeing as how my character will have both bloods how could I hide”
“we can deal with that in the innate abilities section”
“sweet can we look at that”
“first you must decide on your appearance. height can be set to actual or set, if set the height will be locked in and if you are below this height you can allow for growth all features are adjustable by slider or you may use your mind to make an ideal image.”
With that spencer Imagined A man of around his height with large horns protruding from his head and a golden halo sitting wedged between them his skin was Red with white Runes and symbols covering his body he had one feathered wing on his left and one bat like wing on his left. His left eye was white while his right was pure black.
“Done can we continue”
“you currently have four abilities due to the two gifts you acquired in your life in the other realm and the two races you chose”
“Well I know that the Angel will allow me to not eat but what are the other three”
“ability 1 the ability to recall all events in perfect detail memorizing everything seen or heard instantly. 2 photographic muscle memory the ability to see a manoeuvre and if you meet the physical requirements copy the ability. 3 demon ability The angrier you become the more power you gain.4 due to the magical nature of Angles they can survive on mana only”
The screen that held the line of races disappeared and up came a screen of abilities hundreds of them
“You may use a search function to find certain abilities such as class, usage, effect, or popularity “

“Search for transformation”
“there are three different forms yourself, the environment, or others
“Just the one for myself please”
“alright If you select anymore abilities you will have an even harder experience gaining levels.
After scanning over all the abilities most seemed useless to have at the start if you had to pay they all could either be learnt or practised only one was of interest
“I would like the ambidextrous ability and transformation.”
“Is that all?”
“Yes what's next.”
“Job, hobbies as well as survival abilities selection. For all of these you must learn them in the new realm but you are currently limited on the amount you can learn 2 jobs 4 hobbies and 1 survival ability”
“what do I need Jobs for”
“A job will allow you to gain employment while not questing or adventuring for instance a mage may wish to go into enchanting or apothecary a knight may wish to become a blacksmith or armourer and a stealth class may wish to become a messenger or Jester if only to gain information. They also have special effects depending on the job”
“What about hobbies you can't make me not enjoy something”
“True but you will not gain hobbies advancement that can add additions to your skills and stats”
“Ah k and the survival skills”
“This determines your ability to survive in the wilderness such as hunting the ability to find shelter start a fire without magic as well as how you navigate without equipment.”
“So for jobs I should have an unlimited considering At the minimum I want most the jobs she said as well as some others. Hobbies fall under the same thing if each one makes me stronger in my spare time then I`m golden plus some jobs could be hobbies. I don't need many survival skills hunting, fire starting and shelter may be needed if I can't use magic and I have to stay in a dungeon, would first aid count I think5 or 6 will do for that
I would like unlimited Jobs and hobbies as well as six survival skills.”
“That will increase your experience troubles to 20X are you sure?”
“Yes.”
“The final limiter is the amount of quests you may have open at one time the current limit is 5 however you may reduce this to decrease the experience burden or if you want you may increase this and incur a higher penalty”
“Give me the max at this point It doesn't matter”
“with that the multiplier is up to 25X Is everything to your satisfaction”
"how do i select my starting city"
"All travellers of neutral origin begin their adventure in the training city of Albion after they may take a gate to their new home city. After leaving Albion you may not return when you have decided on a name please go to either the Adventures guild or one of the central guilds".
"Alright one final question Is it possible to increase my stats outside of levelling up"
"You may like in your world train for physical attributes while study and debate may increase your mental abilities, other than that practice. Is that all?"
"A couple of more questions I'm sorry what is the average amount of time Travellers have stayed in Albion or the other city's like it."
"On average 2-3 days some leave after a week some a day"
"How many people are there right now?"
"None they have all descended to the starting city"
"How many city's like Albion are there any way"
"Five in total each on another plane and impossible to get to until later in the game when you have a sufficient level or stats that allow you to survive."
"Wait how come five
"Remember the Race line I showed you earlier"
"yes"
"so each race belongs to a different alignment hence a different city. The citys starting with pure Darkness attribute is Pandæmonium and will travel to the Inferno Realm, those who are at the midpoint between darkness and the middle start in the hunting grounds and travel in the beast realm, those who are close to the middle such as dwarves humans and elves belong in Gaia and start in albion, those who are on between the middle and light start in the great forest and travel to Nysa, then there are those who are pure light who start in elysium and travel within Eden."
"I would like to use the transformation kill before you send me in having horns might give me away."
A window appeared that looked like the original Picking the human race he modled his avatar after himself tall blond amethyst eyes.
"Is that All?"
"Yes thank you I'm ready to start"

8 179Crimson Gloom
Crimson Gloom. The time when the moon turns crimson, illuminating the landscape with its crimson glow. The time when the ‘doors’ to the Crimson Abyss open. One shall gaze into the abyss and gain its secrets and powers. Concurrently, the abyss also gazes into oneself, gaining one’s sanity and humanity. Dimensional rifts appeared spontaneously on Earth, bringing otherworldly demons along with the Crimson Gloom. Bloody battles were fought, noble sacrifices were made. Humans eventually sealed the rifts and successfully defended their homeworld. Alas, the seals were not perfect. The Crimson Abyss continued to exist, slowly influencing Earth and its inhabitants. Half a century of relatively uneventful years passed… humanity slowly descended into corruption, and the majority of them knew nothing of the effects of the Crimson Abyss. Is there only the dreadful gloom left to the world? Can one find brightness in the increasingly gloomy world? The youth who had gazed into the Crimson Abyss had no answer, nor did he care. He only wanted the Crimson Gloom to end, to forever seal the Crimson Abyss. A mistake and a twist of fate led the youth into a seemingly totally different direction. Will he forget his lifelong goal? Will he instead step back onto his initial path that he fervently pursued? Disclaimer: I do not own the image on the cover. Image edited on canva.com. This piece of work, after all, is only a first draft and by no means an end product by an amateur (beginner) writer. Mistakes are bound to happen. With that said, I will strive to improve as I write. Feel free to point out errors and inconsistencies as you read. I thank you for your time. Finally, I pledge to not rewrite this novel until the first draft is completed.
