Chapter 1 — One Soul, One Path.
There was nothing. Then — a flicker.
[ INITIATING SOUL ANCHOR... ]
‘What… is that?’
[ SOUL FRAGMENT DETECTED — ORIGIN: EXTERNAL ]
[ REALITY INDEX: #4,771,089 — "BRITANNIA" ]
[ TEMPORAL ANCHOR POINT: ~3,000 YEARS BEFORE CURRENT ERA ]

Britannia.
That sounds familiar…
[ WARNING: SOUL INTEGRATION REQUIRES RACIAL ANCHOR ]
[ WITHOUT A RACIAL TEMPLATE, SOUL WILL DISSIPATE WITHIN 00:04:32 ]
[ INITIALIZING CHARACTER CREATION PROTOCOL... ]
A timer appeared. Four minutes and thirty-two seconds. Ticking down with the casual indifference of a system that couldn't care less whether I lived or not.
I still wasn’t sure what was happening… I don’t remember dying, I… don’t remember much of anything… I know who I am, but how did I get here?
As my thoughts clouded my mind, the void ripped open, and light — blinding, structured, impossible light — flooded in. A rectangular interface hovering in the nothingness, rendered in a style that was somehow both ancient and digital — like someone had carved a touchscreen into the face of reality itself.

The… seven deadly sins universe? I was being reincarnated into that world?
Time Remaining: 04:17
Four minutes and change. Not enough time to spiral, not enough time to lament over my situation. I forced myself to focus and reached for the first option.
---
I tapped [1] — HUMAN.
The interface shimmered, and the center panel dissolved into a cascade of detailed information.
---
🜲 HUMAN
"The shortest candle can still start the largest fire. Humans are defined not by what they are, but by what they can become."
────────────────────────────────────
BASE POWER LEVEL RANGE: 50 — 400
DISTRIBUTION:
> Magic: ████░░░░░░ (Low)
> Strength: █████░░░░░ (Average)
> Spirit: ██████░░░░ (Above Average)
TOTAL PL = MAGIC + STRENGTH + SPIRIT
────────────────────────────────────
RACIAL TRAITS:
▸ Limitless Potential
No innate power level ceiling. The only race capable of exceeding the natural limits of their species through sheer will and training.
▸ Adaptability
Can learn techniques, spells, and combat styles from any race given sufficient time and exposure.
▸ Indomitable Will
Spirit stat receives a x1.8 multiplier when facing opponents with a higher total Power Level. Resistance to fear, mind control, and soul manipulation increased by 40%.
────────────────────────────────────
RACIAL PENALTIES:
▸ Fragile Vessel
Lowest base durability. A single clean strike from a mid-tier Demon or Goddess can be fatal.
▸ Mortal Lifespan
Natural lifespan: 80 - 90 years. No innate regeneration. No reincarnation. Death is permanent.
▸ Late Bloomer
"Limitless Potential" requires time and survival to manifest. In the short term, you will be dramatically outclassed by every other race.
────────────────────────────────────
STARTING CONTEXT:
Humans during the First Holy War exist as members of Stigma — the alliance forged by the Goddess Clan to oppose the Demon Clan. Most human combatants are druids or warriors with Power Levels between 100 and 900. You will be placed among them.
---
Fifty to four hundred.
That was the starting range for the humans. In a war where the Ten Commandments — the Demon King's elite — each sat comfortably above thirty thousand, and the Four Archangels of the Goddess Clan hovered around two hundred thousand each.
I'd be an ant. A determined, potential-packed ant, but an ant all the same. I would die in a week at best.
The "Limitless Potential" trait was tempting in a long-term sense. In the manga, Arthur Pendragon — a human — was implied to have the potential to surpass even the Demon King and Supreme Deity. The "Catalyst of Hope" concept. Chaos. The idea that humanity's ceiling didn't exist.
But Arthur's potential was unique. He was the chosen one to become the King of Chaos, he was an outliner. And more importantly — I had to survive long enough for potential to matter. In the First Holy War, humans were cannon fodder.
I glanced at the timer. Three minutes, forty-one seconds.
Moving on.
---
I backed out and tapped [2] — DEMON.
The interface shifted. The color palette bled from neutral white-gold into deep crimson and black, and the ambient temperature of the void seemed to drop.
---
🜳 DEMON
"We do not beg for survival. We take it. The strong eat. The weak are eaten."
────────────────────────────────────
BASE POWER LEVEL RANGE: 3,200 — 28,000
(Varies by caste — see below)
DISTRIBUTION (Upper Caste Baseline):
> Magic: ███████░░░ (High)
> Strength: ████████░░ (Very High)
> Spirit: ██████░░░░ (Above Average)
TOTAL PL = MAGIC + STRENGTH + SPIRIT
────────────────────────────────────
DEMON CASTE SYSTEM:
The Demon Clan operates on a strict hierarchy of power. Your caste determines your starting parameters and social standing within the Clan.
Lower (Red/Gray): 1,000 — 5,500
Upper (Blue+): 5,500 — 12,000
Elite 12,000 — 28,000
Commandment 31,000 — 60,000
Demon King's Blood: ???+
────────────────────────────────────
RACIAL TRAITS:
▸ Many Hearts
Demons possess more than one heart. You must destroy ALL hearts to kill a Demon. Each heart destroyed reduces total Power Level by approximately 14%.
▸ Darkness Manifestation
Innate ability to shape and solidify darkness into physical constructs — blades, shields, appendages, armor. Darkness can absorb most forms of magic and physical attacks. Scales with Magic stat.
▸ Hellblaze
Access to black flames that cannot be extinguished by normal means. Hellblaze burns through regeneration, nullifies healing magic, and inflicts damage that persists even after the flames are removed. Available to Upper Caste and above.
▸ Demon Mark
All Demons possess a sealed "true form." Releasing the Demon Mark multiplies ALL stats by approximately x1.5 to x2.0 depending on individual power. Visually manifests as black tattoo-like markings across the face and body.
▸ Darkness Regeneration
Wounds can be closed and damaged tissue restored by drawing in ambient darkness. Speed scales with Magic stat. Cannot regenerate if darkness is neutralized (e.g., by Goddess purification).
────────────────────────────────────
◆ SPECIAL SELECTION — COMMANDMENT CANDIDATE:
ELIGIBLE — You may roll for one of the Ten Commandments. Each Commandment is a unique rule imposed by the Demon King upon the bearer and the surrounding area.
⚠ ROLL CHANCE: 8% per attempt. Maximum 3 attempts.
⚠ If you receive a Commandment, you will be immediately recognized as one of the Demon King's elite. This comes with extreme expectation and danger.
⚠ The Demon King can REVOKE a Commandment at will.
────────────────────────────────────
RACIAL PENALTIES:
▸ Ark Vulnerability
Goddess Clan's "Ark" — light-based purification magic — is SUPER EFFECTIVE against Demons.
▸ Clan Loyalty Enforcement
The Demon King's authority is absolute. Defection is met with fatal consequences. If you choose Demon, you will be placed within the Demon Clan command structure. Betraying the Clan while the Demon King lives is functionally suicide unless your Power Level exceeds ~200,000.
▸ Recognizable
Demons are immediately identifiable to enemies. No infiltration capability against Stigma without extensive magical concealment.
────────────────────────────────────
STARTING CONTEXT:
You will be born into the Demon Clan during the height of the First Holy War. The Demon King's forces are pushing into Britannia from the Demon Realm. You will serve under the command structure of the Ten Commandments. Your exact placement depends on your caste roll.
NOTE: Meliodas has NOT yet defected. He is still the leader of the Ten Commandments, and is currently known as The Most Evil Demon . Elizabeth is active within the Goddess Clan, currently known as Bloodstained Ellie. The war is at its most violent phase.
---
My nonexistent throat went dry.
This was before even the manga took place…
I had to say though, this option was… intriguing.
Multiple hearts. Hellblaze. Darkness manipulation. A starting Power Level that could rival or exceed some of the Ten Commandments' subordinates. And the Demon Mark.
This was the "easy mode" pick in terms of raw starting power. A mid-caste Demon could walk into a human battalion and come out without breaking stride. An elite-caste Demon could go toe-to-toe with named characters.
But I had a few things to consider, like the Demon King's meaning if I was anything remarkable I'd be a leash dog. One wrong move, one hint of disobedience, and the being whose Power Level defied measurement would simply end me.
The Commandment roll was interesting — tantalizing, even — but an 8% chance meant I'd likely just be a regular Demon. And being a regular Demon in the First Holy War meant being a pawn in a game played by gods.
Two minutes, fifty-three seconds.
---
I backed out and tapped [3] — GODDESS.
The crimson bled away, replaced by blinding white and gold. The void itself seemed to cleanse, like stepping into a temple after walking through a sewer.
---
🜴 GODDESS
"We are the light that forbids the dark from claiming what is not yours to take. Purity is not kindness — it is purpose."
────────────────────────────────────
BASE POWER LEVEL RANGE: 3,200 — 28,000
(Varies by rank — see below)
DISTRIBUTION (High-Rank Baseline):
> Magic: █████████░ (Very High)
> Strength: █████░░░░░ (Average)
> Spirit: ████████░░ (Very High)
TOTAL PL = MAGIC + STRENGTH + SPIRIT
────────────────────────────────────
GODDESS HIERARCHY:
Common Goddess: 1,000 — 4,000
High-Rank: 4,000 — 15,000
Elite: 15,000 — 28,000
Archangel: 200,000+
Supreme Deity’s Blood: ???+
────────────────────────────────────
RACIAL TRAITS:
▸ Ark
Innate light-based purification attack. Ark manifests as pillars or spheres of concentrated holy light. SUPER EFFECTIVE against Demons — deals x2.5 damage and negates Darkness Regeneration. Scales with Magic stat.
▸ Healing Grace
Natural healing ability. Can restore injured tissue, cure poison, purify corruption, and accelerate recovery in allies. Higher Magic stat = faster and more extensive healing. Can regenerate own wounds at reduced speed.
▸ Wings of Light
Four wings of pure light energy. Provide flight at high speeds. Wings can be partially solidified to function as shields or blades. Defensive capability scales with Spirit stat.
▸ Divine Possession
Can inhabit the body of a willing (or sufficiently weak-willed) human. While possessing a host, the Goddess's Power Level is suppressed to approximately 50-70% of normal, but gains the advantage of a human vessel — harder to detect, can operate in areas hostile to Goddesses. The host's body sustains all physical damage.
▸ Purification Aura
Passive aura that slowly cleanses corruption, curses, and demonic taint from the surrounding area. Range and potency scale with Spirit stat. Demons in close proximity experience discomfort and reduced regeneration.
────────────────────────────────────
◆ SPECIAL SELECTION — GRACE CANDIDATE:
ELIGIBLE — You may roll for one Divine Graces. Graces are divine blessings bestowed by the Supreme Deity, functionally equivalent to the Demon King's Commandments.
⚠ ROLL CHANCE: 5% per attempt. Maximum 2 attempts.
⚠ If you receive a Grace, you will be elevated to Archangel status. This places you among the most powerful beings in existence — and the most targeted.
⚠ The Supreme Deity can REVOKE a Grace at will.
────────────────────────────────────
RACIAL PENALTIES:
▸ Darkness Vulnerability
Demon Clan's Darkness attacks are highly effective against Goddesses. Darkness constructs deal x1.8 damage and can suppress healing abilities on contact. Hellblaze prevents regeneration in the affected area entirely, unless the Goddess can overwhelm the magic of the demon.
▸ Rigid Hierarchy
The Supreme Deity's authority is absolute, though enforced through duty and dogma rather than overt threat. Goddesses who defy the Supreme Deity's will face exile, stripping of power, or destruction.
▸ Recognizable
Like Demons, Goddesses are immediately identifiable. Wings and holy aura make infiltration impossible without magical concealment or Divine Possession.
▸ Dependency on Light
In areas of absolute darkness or heavy demonic corruption, Magic and Spirit stats are reduced by up to 20%.
────────────────────────────────────
STARTING CONTEXT:
You will be born into the Goddess Clan during the First Holy War. The Supreme Deity directs the war effort from the Celestial Realm. You will operate as part of the Stigma alliance alongside Fairies, Giants, and Humans.
NOTE: Elizabeth is currently an active Goddess, being currently known as Bloodstained Ellie. The Archangels Ludociel, Sariel, Tarmiel, and Mael are all alive and at peak power.
---
The mirror image of Demon in many ways — and another great option.
The Grace roll was even lower than the Commandment roll, at 5%. And the Archangels already held the four known Graces:
- Ludociel — Flash
- Sariel — Tornado
- Tarmiel — Ocean
- Mael — Sunshine
If I rolled a Grace, would it be a fifth Grace? Or would the system retcon one away?
Two minutes, eleven seconds.
---
I tapped [4] — FAIRY.
The blinding gold softened into dappled green, and for a moment, I could almost smell moss and old wood.
---
🜵 FAIRY
"We do not wage war. We protect what is ours. If you burn the forest, do not be surprised when the roots rise against you."
────────────────────────────────────
BASE POWER LEVEL RANGE: 800 — 15,000
(Varies wildly by individual — see below)
DISTRIBUTION (Strong Fairy Baseline):
> Magic: ████████░░ (Very High)
> Strength: ████░░░░░░ (Low — see note)
> Spirit: █████████░ (Very High)
TOTAL PL = MAGIC + STRENGTH + SPIRIT
NOTE: Fairy Strength stat reflects base form (typically small, ~1-2 feet tall). Size manipulation can redistribute stats, but total Power Level remains constant.
────────────────────────────────────
FAIRY POWER STRUCTURE:
Fairy power is less hierarchical than Demon or Goddess power and more dependent on individual connection to nature and the Sacred Tree.
Common Fairy: 500 — 2,000
Strong Fairy: 2,000 — 8,000
Elite Fairy: 8,000 — 15,000
Fairy King/Queen: 40,000+
────────────────────────────────────
RACIAL TRAITS:
▸ Nature's Child
Innate connection to all plant life and natural ecosystems. Can sense disturbances through flora, communicate with animals, and draw information from the environment. Effective scouting radius scales with Spirit stat.
▸ Reincarnation
Upon death, the Fairy's body dissolves into flower petals and the soul returns to the Sacred Tree. The soul can eventually be reborn as a new Fairy. EFFECTIVE LIVES: Unlimited.
⚠ True death occurs ONLY if: the Sacred Tree is destroyed, OR the soul is consumed/annihilated before it can return.
▸ Wing Flight
Natural flight via butterfly-like wings. Agility and aerial maneuverability are exceptional — the highest of any race.
▸ Size Manipulation
Can alter physical size from base form (small) to human-equivalent or larger. Requires significant power for larger sizes. At human size, Strength stat is applied as if distributed proportionally. No change to total Power Level.
▸ Sacred Tree Resonance
When within range of the Sacred Tree (or sufficient natural life force), Magic and Spirit stats receive a x1.3 passive bonus. Regeneration is also accelerated.
▸ No Need for Sustenance
Fairies do not require food or water. They draw energy directly from nature. Immune to poison, starvation, and dehydration.
────────────────────────────────────
◆ SPECIAL SELECTION — FAIRY KING/QUEEN CANDIDATE:
ELIGIBLE — You may roll to be chosen by the Sacred Tree as the Fairy King or Queen. This grants the unique ability "Disaster", which allows manipulation of the natural order at a fundamental level — controlling the growth, decay, and behavior of all plant and fungal life. Also grants a Spirit Spear — a powerful shapeshifting weapon connected to the Sacred Tree.
⚠ ROLL CHANCE: 4% per attempt. Maximum 1 attempt.
⚠ NOTE: Gloxinia is currently the Fairy King in this era. Rolling this may REPLACE him or create a coexistence scenario where two Royals exist. Outcomes are unpredictable.
⚠ Gloxinia has not yet defected to the Demon Clan. His defection is triggered by specific events during the war.
────────────────────────────────────
RACIAL PENALTIES:
▸ Fragile in Base Form
At natural size (small form), physical durability is extremely low. A single hit from a mid-tier warrior of any race can be fatal if not evaded.
▸ Sacred Tree Dependency
While Fairies can survive anywhere, their power is significantly amplified near the Sacred Tree.
▸ Emotional Volatility
Fairies are deeply emotional beings. Extreme emotions (grief, rage, despair) can cause loss of control over abilities, leading to unpredictable surges or drops in power.
▸ Lower Power Ceiling
Even the strongest Fairies cap out significantly below the peak of Demons or Goddesses. The Fairy King's Power Level of ~50,000 is impressive but is less than a quarter of an Archangel's power.
────────────────────────────────────
STARTING CONTEXT:
You will be born into the Fairy Clan in the Fairy King's Forest. The Fairy Clan is a member of Stigma. Gloxinia leads the Fairies in the war effort. You will operate under his command.
NOTE: The Fairy King's Forest is a strategic target. It has been and will continue to be attacked by Demon forces. Your home is not safe.
---
I wasn’t so sure about this one, Fairies had it rough the entire series as far as I can remember. Not only that, but all the strong Fairies that ever appeared in the manga were glass canons, and that was never a good option in the long run.
One minute, thirty-eight seconds.
---
I tapped [5] — GIANT.
The green faded to earthy brown and deep gray. The void felt heavier, like gravity had doubled.
---
🜶 GIANT
"The mountain does not bow to the wind. But it might make you bow to it."
────────────────────────────────────
BASE POWER LEVEL RANGE: 2,500 — 45,000
(Varies by warrior grade)
DISTRIBUTION (Veteran Warrior Baseline):
> Magic: ██████░░░░ (Above Average)
> Strength: ██████████ (Maximum)
> Spirit: █████░░░░░ (Average)
TOTAL PL = MAGIC + STRENGTH + SPIRIT
NOTE: Giants possess the highest base Strength stat of any race. A Giant's physical attack carries an inherent force multiplier of x1.5 due to mass and size.
────────────────────────────────────
GIANT POWER STRUCTURE:
Giant society values physical prowess and mastery of Creation above all. Combat ability determines social standing.
Young Giant: 800 — 2,000
Warrior: 2,000 — 5,000
Veteran: 5,000 — 12,000
Master: 12,000+
Giant King/Queen: 39,000+
────────────────────────────────────
RACIAL TRAITS:
▸ Creation
Innate earth and mineral manipulation. Can reshape the ground, raise stone walls, create golems, manipulate metal, and alter the terrain on a massive scale. The battlefield itself is your weapon. Scales with Magic stat.
▸ Giant's Physique
Height: 25-35 feet (varies). Mass proportionally increased. Natural physical armor from extremely dense skin and bone structure. Blunt force resistance: x2.0. Slashing/piercing resistance: x1.3.
▸ Earth's Resonance
When in direct contact with the ground, Strength and Spirit stats receive a x1.25 passive bonus. This stacks with Creation abilities. Removed from the ground (airborne, on water), this bonus is lost.
▸ Titan's Endurance
Exceptional stamina and pain tolerance. Can continue fighting through injuries that would incapacitate other races. Spirit-based fear and pain effects are reduced by 50%.
▸ Seismic Sense
Can detect vibrations through the ground. Effective detection radius scales with Spirit stat. Cannot be fooled by invisibility or illusion — only by airborne targets or those not in contact with the ground.
────────────────────────────────────
◆ SPECIAL SELECTION — GIANT KING/QUEEN CANDIDATE:
ELIGIBLE — You may roll to be recognized as the Giant King or Queen. Grants enhanced Creation (ability to create and control massive golem armies, reshape entire landscapes) and the ritual dance "Dance of the Earth," which temporarily boosts the power of the giant a great deal, depending on Earth attunement.
⚠ ROLL CHANCE: 6% per attempt. Maximum 2 attempts.
⚠ NOTE: Dolor is currently the Giant King in this era. Rolling this may REPLACE him or create conflict. Dolor is a key member of Stigma and later becomes a Ten Commandment (after defecting). Disruption may have unpredictable consequences.
────────────────────────────────────
RACIAL PENALTIES:
▸ Massive Target
Your size is a double-edged sword. You are impossible to miss and difficult to conceal. Area-of-effect attacks are significantly more dangerous to you than to smaller races.
▸ Reduced Mobility
While fast for their size, Giants cannot match the agility or speed of Fairies, Goddesses, or Vampires. You WILL be hit.
▸ Earth Dependency
Earth's Resonance bonus is lost when not on solid ground. Creation is severely weakened without earth/minerals to manipulate. In water or airborne environments, effective Power drops.
▸ Lower Power Ceiling
Similar to Fairies, the Giant race has a lower maximum potential than Demons or Goddesses. The Giant King at ~39,000 is impressive but vastly outclassed by the leadership of the other major clans.
────────────────────────────────────
STARTING CONTEXT:
You will be born in Megadozer, the homeland of the Giant Clan. The Giants are members of Stigma. Dolor leads the Giant warriors in the war effort. You will serve under his command.
NOTE: Giant culture is proud and martial. Cowardice is despised. Weakness is not pitied — it is contemptible. You will be expected to fight.
---
A walking siege engine.
But the drawbacks were painful to read. Giants being a big target was an understatement — I'd be a glowing beacon that screamed "hit me" to every enemy on the battlefield. And the lower power ceiling meant that no matter how strong I got, the real players — the ones with six-figure Power Levels — would always be able to swat me.
Dolor's defection was also a concern. In canon, both Gloxinia and Dolor defected to the Demon Clan after the war, becoming the Ten Commandments of Repose and Patience respectively. And I might get killed when that happens.
Forty-seven seconds.
---
My hand moved almost frantically, tapping [6] — VAMPIRE.
The brown deepened to black — not the void-black of before, but a rich, blood-dark crimson-black that felt ancient and hungry.
---
🜷 VAMPIRE
"We are the night, and in darkness we fed."
────────────────────────────────────
BASE POWER LEVEL RANGE: 1,500 — 9,000
DISTRIBUTION (Elite Vampire Baseline):
> Magic: ██████░░░░ (Above Average)
> Strength: █████░░░░░ (Average)
> Spirit: ██████░░░░ (Above Average)
TOTAL PL = MAGIC + STRENGTH + SPIRIT
────────────────────────────────────
VAMPIRE HIERARCHY:
Vampires are a subspecies that once served the Demon Clan. They rebelled and were sealed by the Demon King. During the First Holy War, they are in a complex position — neither fully aligned with the Demons nor trusted by Stigma.
Low Vampire: 500 — 2,000
Warrior Vampire: 2,000 — 5,000
Elite Vampire: 5,000 — 9,000
Vampire King: 13,000+
────────────────────────────────────
RACIAL TRAITS:
▸ Blood Regeneration
Can heal wounds by consuming blood — own or others'. Regeneration speed and extent scale with the amount and quality of blood consumed. Fresh blood from powerful beings accelerates healing dramatically.
▸ Supernatural Speed
Innate speed advantage over all other races at equivalent Power Levels. Agility and reflex effectively x1.5 higher than raw stats suggest. Evasion-focused combat style.
▸ Blood Magic
Consumed blood can be weaponized — crystallized into projectiles, formed into blades, or used to temporarily boost physical stats. More blood stored = more versatile the magic.
▸ Night Stalker
During nighttime or in darkness, their power increases.
▸ Hypnotic Gaze
Can hypnotize beings with significantly lower Power Levels. Effectiveness scales with the gap between your Spirit stat and the target's. Does not work on Demons or Goddesses of equal or higher Power Level.
────────────────────────────────────
RACIAL PENALTIES:
▸ Blood Dependency
MUST consume blood regularly. Going without blood for extended periods causes progressive stat reduction.
▸ Sunlight Vulnerability
Direct sunlight deals continuous damage and reduces ALL stats by 30%. Prolonged exposure is fatal. Can be mitigated with specialized coverings or magic, but not fully negated.
▸ Lowest Power Ceiling
Of all six available races, Vampires have the lowest maximum potential. The Vampire King at 13,000 would be considered a mid-tier warrior in the Demon or Goddess clans. There is no known mechanism for a Vampire to exceed ~15,000 without external power sources.
▸ No Political Faction
Vampires are distrusted by BOTH sides. The Demon Clan sees them as traitors. Stigma sees them as former Demon allies. You will have no safe harbor, no army, no infrastructure of support. You are alone.
▸ NO Special Selection Available
Vampires have no equivalent to Commandments, Graces, Disaster, or the Giant King's authority. What you see is what you get. You might roll and get a power higher than the Vampire King, but there’s no special selection for it.
────────────────────────────────────
STARTING CONTEXT:
You will be born into the Vampire clan during the period where Vampires exist as a fractured group — some loyal to Izraf, others scattered or independent. The Vampire rebellion against the Demon Clan has either just occurred or is imminent. You will be placed in a precarious position with no guaranteed allies.
⚠ WARNING: This is the HARD MODE selection. You will have the lowest starting power, the lowest ceiling, the most dependencies, and the fewest allies. Choose this only if you understand the consequences.
---
Vampires… I wonder if I could become something like Alucard?
That said, I knew that the Vampire option was nothing but a trap for people who thought being edgy and fast could compensate for being fundamentally outclassed in every dimension that mattered.
---
I pulled back to the main selection screen. All six options glowed softly in the void, waiting.
The timer burned in the corner.
[ TIME REMAINING: 00:18 ]
So many options, but what to pick?
[ TIME REMAINING: 00:09 ]
Nine seconds.
Every race was a trap on its own. Every race had a leash. The question wasn't "which race is best" — it was "which leash can I live with, and which trap can I eventually escape from?"
[ TIME REMAINING: 00:05 ]
My hand moved.
[ TIME REMAINING: 00:03 ]
I made my choice.
[ TIME REMAINING: 00:01 ]
