ALL NOVEL Chapter 3: Race Choices
"Pretty decent stats, I guess," Bane mused, avoiding looking at Nia's floating naked avatar, but then pointed at it. "Can we put some clothes on her? I don't think that either of us need to ogle her if she is going to possibly be my future wife."
With a wave of his hand, Onyx created a modest set of cream colored bra and panties.
"There, but now that you know what you are doing, I will be leaving you for some time. I need to go back to your old world and catch up on what I missed and make new plans to run interference against Guardian. When you are finished with a person, just confirm that you wish to finish mentally. When that happens, you will be prompted to add a spark. When this happens, chew up the corresponding demon heart. When you are finished, mentally will a portal, and it will appear, but doing so will seal all your magic again," Onyx explained, but Bane put up a hand.
"Wait, wait, wait! You're not just going to leave me to deal with my wife, are you?!" Bane exploded with a look of dread, and Onyx nodded.
"Damn right I am! Though, truthfully, I wish I could be there to watch this all go down, there are many more important things that need my attention. Your dumpster fire known as your love life is not one of them," Onyx snickered, and then merged into Bane, leaving him alone to complain to himself.
"Bah! First chance he gets to ditch, and he does! Fucking wonderful!" Bane cursed, but then sighed. "Guess I will deal with this like every other problem in my life: head on and without looking back. First up: Nia!"
Bane focused on the energy of Nia's spark and her avatar vanished and reappeared, but she was wearing a full black gown that covered her from neck to wrist and ankle. It also had a hood that covered most of her face, only revealing a pair of red eyes that glowed from within the darkness.
"Bleh, too dark and dreary," Bane sighed, and then looked over at the options he had to select from.
- Sex
- Age
- Race
- Facial Dimensions
- Body Dimensions
- Face And Body Details
- Alignment
- Personality
"Sheesh, a person could really get carried away with so many options," Bane noted, skipping over the first two selections to select Race, but Paused, looking back at the first option with a snort. "Now that would be funny as shit, and solve my problem of more wives, but I somehow don't feel right about turning them into men just to get out of the deal I made."
With a sigh, Bane selected the option for Race, and a list of 15 different options appeared, surprising Bane.
- Human
- Elves
- Dwarfs
- Halflings
- Vampires
- Werewolves
- Mermaids
- Succubus
- Incubus
- Dryad
- Phoenix
- Angel
- Demon
- Dragon
- Lich
"Holy shit, Onyx wasn't kidding about this being a character generator," Bane mumbled, as he looked over the list. "How does one even pick?"
As Bane looked over the list, he felt a familiar presence enter his body, and in the next instant, the transparent blue glowing form of Eve emerged from his body.
"Hey! It has been a hot minute since I saw you last!" Bane nearly cheered with genuine excitement. "Did you miss me?"
Eve nodded, surprising Bane.
"I did. While I assumed things were going to be quiet, and I might get some bonding time with your wife-to-be, things didn't go as I assumed," Even said with a sigh, and Bane snorted.
"Yeah, I heard that she didn't take it well after I was sucked into the demon world. I also heard that Nina made things worse by admitting that she has feelings for me," Bane groaned, scratching the back of his head, and Eve nodded.
"Yes, that is a problem, but you seemed to have not been able to control yourself in her absence," Eve pointed out with a raised eyebrow, making Bane put up his hands.
"Hey, you can clearly see that I rejected the shit out of these women. I only gave them the chance for Lysia to reject them!" Bane complained, but Eve gave him a knowing look.
"And no part of you wants to make these women your wives? Did you not find each of them attractive enough to warrant you offering them a chance to plead their cases to Lysia?" Eve asked with a smile, making Bane look away in guilt.
"Fine! Whatever! I admit that they are all beautiful women who might be able to keep up with my... appetite, but what about you? If I am with Lysia and one of these girls, where does that leave you?" Bane asked, but Eve shook her head.
"While I will admit that I can see what makes you attractive to the others, I am more interested in watching you and them interact than anything else. I do have someone I am waiting for you to find in the future," Even explained, and Bane sighed.
"Thank god. Not that I don't think you are great, but I think of you more like an overbearing little sister that seems to actually know everything," Bane sighed, and Eve smiled.
"Yes, I think that line of thinking is good. Now, you seem to be at a loss with making your selection. Is there anything that I can help with?" Eve asked, and Bane nodded.
"Some advice would be nice. I need to pick new races for the women, but I don't know where to start. I mean, there are way more choices than I expected, and I would be lying if I wasn't worried about the effects of my choices. Like, what if I make one too pretty, and they make Lysia feel inferior? Bah!" Bane growled, but Eve put a hand on his shoulder.
