It had been 24 years since the DMMORPG known as RLO or Real Life Online had launched, and it's current pvp champion was a assassin monk player named "Ophia" who was in appearance the combination of Kagetane Hiruko from the anime/manga Black Bullet, and The Herta from the game Honkai: Star Rail now onto the specifics of her appearance.
To start her attire is the sole reason Kagetane Hirukowas mentionedas it's a fitted carbon copy of his own outfit mask, and all then the actual body itself is simply The Heta's but what makes her shine truly is her entire head. The hair is the same style or shape, and color as The Herta's hair. Next is her eminence purple eyes with a serpent slit for an iris which is ice white.
The next few differences are small so to put it simply her ears look like that of an elf's then her tongue is forked like a snakes, and finally has small fangs similar to that of a vampire. But now let's get onto her story which is just beginning starting with an unfortunate ending.

(Alec's POV)
A woman currently staring on towards the beautiful orange sunset with a bittersweet expression she sighs before standing up, and walking away from the cliff as as she walked down the forest underbrush with streaks of orange light cascading downward through the brief glimpses through the trees begins to go deep in thought.
'So this is it the grand finale? All that damn work to get them stupid snake god authorities just to now loose 4 years of my life hoping said boss comes out it just irks me! All that effort mainly on Ouroboros's boss fight while inevitably paying off I still refuse to delete my account so instead I think I'll just reread the lore of them authorities one last time? No that is actually a great idea!'
Opening a panel showing numerous tabs such as [Equipment] [Skills] [Stats], and finally [Authorities] finally clicking on the [Authorities] tab it shows a list that goes as follows:
—

Closing the tabs with a melancholic sigh once more causes a protagonist to look at the countdown saying there was twenty minutes left in the corner causing our protagonist to tear up slightly.
'Calm down Alec get yourself together just do what I always do, and take a nap in a tree. I can't leave my bed anyways so it's not like I'll go anywhere after the shutdown I'll probably just watch some YouTube until a new game peaks my interest. But now that it's endings i really wish I could be Ophia also i wish the authorities actually did something they are literally just flavor text. Oh well nap time.'
Looking to his left Alec climbs up into the nearest tree, and looks at the beauty of the glistening stars in the night sky as Alec eventually begins to fall asleep as a beautiful smile etched itself upon his face both irl, and in game letting himself come to terms with the inevitable end of RLO before finally entering the world of dreams unfortunately as he feel to such a wonderful place he died right then.
(Scene Change)
Alec then jolts awake being forced to look upwards by something unseen, and what he sees unnerved him. A pitch black sky with no sun or moon in sight just clouds that constantly shifted to through color except black. Next thing he noticed was the grass he was laying on was a gunmetal gray in what looked like a field or plains with no actual trees in sight.
Then her saw her a woman made of color standing within off to the side. Her entire body looked like it was melting like wax not to mention her entire body shifted between cold colors with her skin specifically shifting between every shade of blue.
Then her hair shifting between greens finally were her nails shifting between every shade of purple with the beings eyes having the only warm color in golden yellow but the eyes also had black, and white specifically the sclera, and pupil swapped colors meaning the sclera was pitch black while the pupil was white as snow with the iris being the aforementioned golden yellow.
The final detail Alec noticed was horrifying to him as this thing lacked a mouth. Then the entity snaps it's head in August's direction looking him dead in the eyes before speaking directly into his mind.
'[So your the one who is to be reborn? Seeing you now explains alot. Well anyways the following process is to put it bluntly mortal is extremely boring unless you have a character in mind to reincarnate as... oh wait I forgot to say why your here in the first place, amd I forgot to introduce myself so forgive me.
Firstly I'm known as Prismopaque the goddess of imagination in your section of the multiverse, and as to why you are here? Well we did a divine lottery which you won thus I'm supposed to reincarnate you simple as that. Now then do you have a character you'd prefer to be? It'll make my job easier, and you'd get innate understanding of the powers of said character.]'
'Could turn me into my RLO character Ophia?' Prismopaque gets the look of someone in deep thought before without even replying Alec felt excruciating pain ignite all over his body with him audibly hearing his own bones breaking, and reforming in a constant loop of agony until eventually it just stopped.
Then before Alec could say anything one of the prismatic clouds floated above him raining a viscous rainbow bile that tasted awful but eventually it stopped, and morphed into clothes with the final touch being the world's most painful migraine as knowledge about all his abilities which were extremely familiar to him.
'[Alright I'm sure you noticed you only got the combat experience with those authorities, and that's because that's how do I say this... i got it! The version of Ophia you played as was incomplete so I used those assassin powers to then completely unlock your authorities so congratulations!
You have fighting prowess up there with the likes of Lady Shiva, and absurd powers. Now I need to send you somewhere to start out before you start hopping dimensions so I'll be sending you to DC. Good luck uhm lady? You aren't really a kid anymore... oh well not my problem cya!]'
In that splits second before Ophia could get a grasp on her current situation she is suddenly standing in the middle of a back alley in a very gritty dingy back alleyway. 'Welp if what miss eldritch horror said holds true, and I was sent to DC that can only mean the city I'm currently in is Gotham...' Sure enough looking up she could faintly see the Wayne Enterprise building.
