The next morning, I had made breakfast for Yuki and , except this ti, she doesn’t get ready for school. I was setting the table, and I heard shuffling coming down the stairs. Yuki was half asleep and wearing her pajamas, which was just her underwear and a shirt.
*Yawn*
“Morning, mom.”
“Morning, Sweetie. Rember, after breakfast, go get dressed and make sure you have a spot in your room for the VR Pod. They are coming today to install it.”
“Don’t worry; I will.”
Even though our house is small, the room size is are decent. My room is downstairs with the bathroom next to it. The bathroom has two doors, one to my room and one to the living room. Yuki’s room is upstairs directly above my room. Not the best floor plan, but its what we can afford.
We spent the morning moving stuff around in the bedrooms. I thought about getting rid of the bed as the pod could be used while sleeping, but in the end, I didn’t.
The installers ca by afternoon and were moving the equipnt into the rooms. They even had so mover androids with them too. Androids were comrcially used back in 2042, so it was common to see them now. About an hour and a half later, all pods were set up, and they had left.
Yuki and I went to the living room for a quick lunch while she did so of her schoolwork.
“Hey mom, you know what race you are going to play?”
“What’s that? I don’t know what you an by race.”
“Sorry, I forget you don’t know much about video gas. The race is what species you want to play as. Usually, in these kinds of gas, you have humans, elves, and dwarves.”
“Oh, then I guess I will be a human.”
“Don’t play as a human! You will have so many choices; you should play sothing different.”
“Alright, calm down. I’ll think about it. I just don’t know how I am supposed to act if I am sothing like an elf.”
“You don’t need to act like anything. Just pick a race that looks good to you and just be yourself.”
I nod my head and walk over to our computer and turn it on. If I am going to play this ga for money, I should probably research it a bit. Spending about an hour going through everything, I got a bit more knowledge of the ga.
There are only three confird races; Human, Elf, and Dwarf, just like Yuki said. However, there are over 108 different races, and most of them you can only mutate into by eting specific requirents. Reading the thing about mutating reminded of that horror movie about a thing in Antarctica.
I also found out sothing about a level cap. I got more information about this from Yuki as I didn’t know what a level cap was. The level cap is 300, at which point you need to visit the Shrine of the Reborn, where you rebirth yourself. Your level becos 1 while your total level and stats don’t reset. During this process, you can also choose to mutate your race, but doing so is permanent.
I also found out you can only talk long distances with other players if you use an item called a word stone. Since the ga aims for imrsion, that will help with sothing so people call ‘ta Gaming.’ I didn’t know what this was and had to look online for the aning.
Seeing as there wasn’t a lot of information about the ga, I turned off the computer. I walked back over to the couch and sat down with Yuki.
“Looks like after we make our characters, we will be placed randomly into the world.” I had said while watching Yuki do her howork.
Without looking up, she responded. “That will put a small wrench into our plans. Since we can’t add people as friends unless we are in the sa area, we can only et up at the main capitol.”
“I guess we will have to tell your Aunt to et us at the capitol and then make our guild thing.”
Yuki gives out a slight laugh at my comnt.
“You know, mom, it’s going to be fun watching you play. I am curious to see how well you do.”
I feel like I was just insulted, but I can’t bring myself to reprimand her for it.
----
The next day ca, and Yuki was up early, finishing her howork for the day so she could play the ga.
The website had said that it would go live at around 10:00 am our ti. I had to make sure that breakfast was ready, and Yuki finished her howork was finished.
“Rember Yuki, you can skip lunch, but I will not allow you to miss breakfast or dinner. You still need to take care of your body, which is why we will not play on Sundays but spend ti doing so sort of physical activity.”
“Yes, mom, I will take care of myself.”
Ten was rolling around, and we decided to head to our rooms to our pods. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t a little anxious. This is a brand-new world with all kinds of fantastical things. Maybe a second life would be just what I need.
The pods need as much skin contact as possible to read your biotrics and vitals, so I had dressed down to my underwear. I looked down at my D cup breasts and sighed. These things always did kill my back.
The pod I received was the Elite version, aning that it did co with the ability to feed your body sustenance and massage the muscles to prevent atrophy. I didn’t want to rely on these, so I set ground rules for Yuki and myself.
I crawled into my pod and attached the various sensor sand other attachnts and laid back. I pressed the green button on the inside wall, and the pod door closed. The next thing I see is a white room with so floating text that says choose your ga.
The only ga I can choose at the mont is Rebirth Online, so I chose that one.
The surrounding turn dark and a wall of words appear in front of .

Do you wish to continue?
Now I am kind of scared to play this ga. But I really could use the money right now. Plus, if I don’t like it, I can quit it and find sothing else. With my resolve strengthened, I continue with the ga.
The scenery changes and I am now back in a white space. This ti there is a tall floor mirror and a woman standing next to it. She is wearing a sleeveless black dress with a slit going up on one side and so black heels. I decide to walk up to her and greet her.
“Hello, how are you?”
“Welco, ascended one. My na is Eri. I have been chosen to be your guide by the gods. You are their chosen champion summoned from another world to help bring prosperity to this one called Elara.”
Eri gives a small bow before continuing.
“You have retained your old appearance from your old body, but you can make so changes if you would like.”
She directs my attention to the mirror next to .
Looking at the mirror, I see my self in all my nude glory. From my big breasts all the way down to…
(Wait! Did the pod scan my body? Am I trimd the sa way down there as in real life? Nevermind just going to ignore that.)
Pushing those thoughts out, I focus on the mirror. In front of are the words saying choose a race.
Human
Dwarf
Orc
Beastkin
Halfling
Elf
I go through each one reading their descriptions. I was told I should choose sothing other than human, so I ignore that for now. I read the description for Dwarf and ignore that too, as it is too brawny. I also overlook the orc as that reminds of those creatures from that old Rings of the Lord movie that Yuki and I watched. Beastkin sounds a little unusual; I also don’t know how I feel being a half-cat or half-wolf. I skip halfling as they seem too childish for my tastes too.
“Hmm, elves have a long-lasting life span and almost endless youth…”
“Eri, I choose elf!”
“As you wish.”
The floor mirror then morphs into a small hand mirror and floats in front of my face. Eri then speaks back to to explain the next steps.
“You are limited in how you can change yourself. Your appearance will be based on your old self and the new race you chose. You may change so facial features and your hair color as well.”
Looking back into the hand mirror, I see a younger, more vibrant version of myself staring back at . Seeing myself like that brings tears to my eyes as I stare at myself for a bit.
Coming out of my thoughts, I decide to adjust so of my appearances. I did not like the long elf ears, so I shortened them a bit, so they retain their elven beauty but are much shorter now. I was ssing around with the skin features and found I could give myself scars if I wanted to but decided against it.
In the end, I changed so facial features such as the chin, jaw, and nose. I then settled on black hair which was opposite of my blond hair. When I finish my appearance, the mirror disappears.
“It looks like you are done with your appearance. Next, I will explain so of the basics to you.”
