1 Ch.1 Emerald Eyes

As my eyes opened I realized I seemed to hold no form. I looked around frantically but there was nothing but empty space and I seemed to just float as an invisible gas... Or ghost? I'm uncertain what I am or who I am. As I look down in front of the space I awoke there was a floating picture of some sort. It looked like a window but held no real form just like me. As I sat there amazed by the fact I could simply pass through the thing wondering what the thing was suddenly a loud ringing sound went off. I looked down and realized inside the window were a few buttons written in strange characters I couldn't comprehend but somehow knew the meaning of. Written in the window that I had foolishly played with was countless words thousands of names of animals and all forms of living beings. At the top was the words "Choose your path."

On each button there were countless massively powerful creatures and strange things I'd never heard of or seen before each more magical and awesome then the last. At the bottom was the button I had hit by mistake. It had lit up and a strange shape now covered it. I clicked it over and over trying to go back no matter what I did it didn't seem to want to let me change my choice. Staring aghast I lamented my terrible choice. Of all the choices I could have picked, fish, birds, giant lizards, living objects, slimes, dragons, spiders, men, griffins, even gods, countless astonishingly amazing choices... with hundreds of thousands of awesome choices between them that even let me decide the specific characteristics of each why did I have to hit that one. The worst possible option kept ringing in my head over and over as if some ancient god was taunting me with my idiotic choice, laughing at me as I wallowed in self pity. After hours of painfully kicking myself figuratively of course... No feet so no way to actually do it seeing as I'm a incorporeal being. I finally get up and look at the panel once more. Staring at my choice for a few seconds I decided I'll do it. I can't go back now but I sure as hell won't back down from what's already been done. I looked next to my choice and finally noticed there was a next button.

After hitting it a new list popped up. Hundreds of thousands of skills and abilities that are awesome and magical. Before blindly swiping at it I look around then try to cover the window from that damned taunting bastard who doesn't seem to exist outside my head. I scroll slowly and pick each one carefully.

As I scrolled through a specific thing caught my eye. [Level: you will be granted the right to grow as you accumulate experience each act giving a predetermined amount of exp.] I sat there wondering if it was a game or what. Wait... What's a game? Do I have memories? I don't have a name but I know words right? I mean I am having this thought in my head I have to have some sort of language. But I have no eyes ears or brain. How am I taking in information or remembering anything. How do I have emotions? Aren't those all tied to the physical forms hormonal balances? Even if something like a soul exists how can it perceive the world? Where did all this knowledge even come from?

...

After I'd finished my somewhat awkward many hour self interrogation I decided to just set it aside for now and to pick the level skill and a sound in my head rung out, like before, this time I heard two of eight decided. After that I continued scrolling through the skills and find many others that sound or seem useful but for some reason it wouldn't let me read most of there specific details. In the end I ended up with [Sight] [Evolve] [level] [Healthy] [Detect] [Regeneration] [light] and wait... I didn't pick that... What the hell. This is just cruel even though I was hurt emotionally by the choice I was unable to make. Now that taunting bastard had to go and pick something just to rub salt in the wound.
