A Girl's Life in a Gaming World -
Chapter 18 - Race Selection
In the next second, Alex is dumbfounded, seeing the floating list in front of her.
[Races]
Human: 100% Affinity
Angel: 0% Affinity
Demon: 0% Affinity
Elf: 0% Affinity
...
"This... Why is it like this??" Alex has no words to say, seeing the ninety-nine race with 0% affinity.
"Lumiere...?" Alex turned to Lumiere, floating on her right side. "Did your system have an error?" Alex can't believe what she's seeing. Even though she's not that good of a person, at least she's not that bad to the point she gets a 0% in Angel.
She even planned to choose the elf race, if ever she got a 100% affinity. Her mother even always tells her that she is the most beautiful woman she knows.
Alex can't accept all of this!!
[There is no error on the system, everything you see in front of you is accurate]
"Then... How come I have 0% affinity for everything except Human?" Alex asked sadly, thinking that she can only choose one race out of the one hundred races.
[I am very sorry if you are not satisfied with this feature. The system was purposely designed for special people like you, who have excelled among everyone. The system decided that the top 100 players in the beta test will get a hero role on the official launch. By extracting the data gathered in the beta test, we found 100 people suitable for this feature.]
"Beta test?? I don't remember participating in any beta test for this game." Alex became even more confused.
[The beta test I am talking about is the first virtual reality game, Guardian. With it as the foundation, it made creating Parabellum possible]
Alex now understood why she got in the top 100. After all, Alex probably is the second-strongest player in Guardian aside from the one who saved the world. As for how she knows that she's the second-strongest. Almost everyone in the hall of fame died at the one-hour mark, while she died at the 30-minute-mark.
"How did the system replace out I was one of the top 100? I did not enter the hall of fame like everyone else." Alex's parents told her to falsify the survey, conducted by the government, to decide who are the players on the hall of fame.
Her father is in the top one in the hall of fame right now. If Alex entered the hall of fame with a higher ranking than her father, with the same family name. Her mother is afraid that it might attract too much attention to their peaceful household.
[The A.I. extracted all the data from the beta test and used it as a reference to guide the players to create their best character]
[It was also intentionally designed this way so that all one hundred races will have at least one player playing it. To help increase the popularity of the race. And to avoid having an unpopular race like the orc race forgotten by the masses. After all, no one wants to choose an ugly orc as their character if they see beautiful elves, angels, and vampires]
"But Lumiere!! What if I don't want this feature at all? Or one of those people in the top 100 doesn't play this game. Wouldn't that mean that you'll be lacking one person?"
[The next person, the top 101st player, will instantly replace the missing person]
"I want to complain!! How to contact customer service?" Alex threw a tantrum as she scanned the unique trait of other races.
Human: 100% Affinity
Unique trait: can use all kinds of weapons and can choose other races--- view more
Werewolves: 0% Affinity
Unique Trait: three times faster regeneration--- view more
Giants: 0% Affinity
Unique Trait: three times survivability stats--- view more
Elf: 0% Affinity
Unique Trait: three times agility stats--- view more
"What kind of trash trait is this?" The human race's unique trait simply can't compare to other race's traits. Not to mention the feature where humans can choose any race. It frustrates her more, seeing that trait, like how the heck is it that she doesn't have the freedom to choose one at all!?
Then what's the use in putting it in the description!? They might as well hide it since it's useless to her seeing it anyway.
[Are you not satisfied...? I don't understand... It was precisely calculated by the system a thousand times. To provide the best recommendations to the top 100 people satisfactorily]
"I see nothing but disappointment!!" Alex sorrowfully answered Lumiere.
[I am sorry to say this, but there is no customer service. The game is completely run by the A.I. itself, without any human interventions. It is impossible to change this current feature as almost 80% of the chosen players have chosen their respective races, and no one is complaining except you...]
"Then..." Alex doesn't know what to say anymore, hearing that it is impossible to make any changes.
[You might want to check the view more option to fully understand why the system deemed this as the best race for your character]
Following Lumiere's suggestion, Alex clicked on the view more option that she neglected earlier.
Human: 100% Affinity
Unique trait: can use all kinds of weapons and can choose other races--- In exchange for eliminating the freedom to pick other races for the 100 chosen players. The 100 players will receive a hero class as compensation and receive an additional unique trait solely for them, depending on their recommended race.
Human Hero Class Trait: two times character experience gain, and two times weapon experience gain
"Ehhh?? Isn't this too overpowered??" Seeing the hero class trait. Alex's initial sour mood felt better. She doesn't know what the weapon experience gain use. But seeing the two two-times multiplier in experience gain made her quite happy. Having this trait will allow her to have an advantage against other players.
"Is this why no one's complaining??" No wonder others are willingly choosing their race fast. They might also have overpowered traits in them.
[Yes...]
