The correct response to the situation at this point.
Voro just out of murdering goblins went to the system and voice yelled at him in pitch white void. Not really a smooth transition.
It wasn`t just the void, apart from him there was a small golden.....saucer maybe, with blue smoke coming out of it.
And the smoke was getting thicker the higher it went, turning into matter and then skin, then abs, human abs. Just bigger.
Simply speaking, Voro was now face to face with the djinn from Alladin. Almost. He did have the golden wristbands, and the similar skin/smoke tone, but thats it. He wore a bright colorful jacket with wide open chest area to show off his body, a skirt hanged below it almost covering the smoke tail just not fully.
His whole persona was a mix of blue skin, gold ad dons and scarlet silk, making it a really really rich palette.
And well the last difference is the fact that Voro could not talk to him face to face.
Since he didn`t have it. Instead of a head, there was just a nice bright cyan flame.
No eyes, no mouth, no luscious beard - just fire.
[WHY WOULD I BE KIDDING AT THIS MOMENT?]
The fire tilted to the side, as if trying to show confusion in a human matter.
"WHY THE FUCK AM I TALKING TO A DJINNI RIGHT NOW???" Voro was absoultely just as confused as he was, but also quite angry for some reason.
[NOW CALM DOWN HERE]
"AM I DEAD?!!" Voro tried to move away, do something with himself while getting a hang of whatever was going on *gasps* "DID YOU DO THIS???"
[okey lets just..]
his massive blue fingers snapped in the air.
Another blue hand materialized in front of Voro`s stomach and punched forward, effectively and quickly quieting him down.
[FIRST OF ALL, NO, YOU`RE NOT DEAD]
[SECOND OF ALL]
The floating hand retreated
[WHAT`S A "DJINNI" ?]
Voro got back his spit into the mouth and wiped it clean.
"Its umm... its what you are. I think. You look like...that"
[OH I SEE. IF THAT`S HOW YOU WANT TO CALL ME]
The floating hand punched him again, twice as hard this time
[YOU BETTER CHANGE YOUR MIND FAST]
Voro got knocked down to his knees and flew off in the same moment. Weirdly enough, it still seemed like he didn`t move at all.
[SO JUST TO BE CLEAR BETWEEN US]
The hand prepared to strike again
[DO NOT CALL ME THAT]
And slapped him from the top.
At least it would have if Voro didn`t manage to roll the side.
[YOU LITTLE..]
"WAIT" Voro held both of his hands high "So...what DO I call you then?"
The hand went back to him and turned to smoke, while his real one scratched the fire.
[....]
[SIR ADMINISTRATOR]
[YEAH]
[LETS GO WITH THAT]
"Okey...sir administrator....now what?"
[HMM?]
[OH YEA]
[GIVE ME A SECOND WILL YOU BOY]
And he turned back away to his golden saucer and multiple much brighter blue system windows appeared all around him. Bigger, brighter and much more..alive.
Voro managed to catch his breath and stand up properly.
[YES YES I SEE NOW]
[SO....YOU...DID SOMETHING I...KIND OF DID NOT EXCPECT]
The fire tilted to the side again
...
"You mean I did something....wrong?" now Voro tilted his own head in confusion
[WELL, NO]
[YOU DID SOMETHING I FORGOT TO....INCLUDE IN OTHER PLANS]
"Can you just tell me what I did and we can get this over with"
[PLEASE DON`T RUSH ME, THIS IS A DELICATE PROCESS]
[BUT SURE]
[YOUR CLASS]
"My class?"
[YES YOUR CLASS, THAT`S THE ISSUE]
Voro haven`t really considered his attire and lookj before, but apparently that was the problem. Well he did look like shit today, and even if he wasn`t covered in goblin blood, he was often in cow`s or pig`s blood
[PREDATOR WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A HARD ONE TO FIND]
[HERE WE ARE THOUGH...]
"Oh that. Yea I got that just now. What`s the problem?"
[UGH]
[HUMANS]
[DO YOU HAVE TO KNOW?]
"I mean, not have to, but know I really want to"
The fire on his shoulders started to change colors to a bit of a dark navy
[FINE. FLOOR 5 IS THE END OF THE TUTORIAL PERIOD IN MY TOWER]
[AND AS A REWARD FOR SURVIVING, YOU GET A CLASS SPECIFIC TO YOUR NEEDS AND STYLE]
[IN THE PLAN, I DO THAT]
[YOU COME HERE]
[I GIVE YOU THE CLASS]
"mhm mhm I see" Voro tried to comprehend this while imagining what that plan should have looked like
[BUT YOU HAVE A CLASS ALREADY]
[SO...I NEED....A WORK-AROUND THAT]
[GOT IT]
All his system windows blinked out of existence and he turned back to him
[PRETEND LIKE YOU JUST GOT HERE]
"What?"
The djinni admin enlarged himself and the white void turned to dark stormy clouds around them. Thunder crashes and lighting strikes went off in the distance and just right next to him.
Golden wrist bands glowed with magic and his whole body became both dark navy and glowing cyan in patterns resembling tatoos. His open vest flapped in the wind and his smoke was almost invisible.
[CHALLENGER VORO VANE]
[I HEARBY CONGRATULATE YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY HERE]
[THE TOWER RECOGNIZES YOUR DOINGS]
[I RECOGNIZE YOUR DOINGS]
[AND WITH US]
[SO SHALL YOU]
Voro stood perfectly still inspite of the weather around him as if nothing was going on
[HERE]
A very small window appeared in front of him
[YOU HAVE MADE YOUR PAST]
[THESE ARE YOUR POSSIBLE FUTURES]
[CHOOSE WISELY]
The window had just one button on it - [X]
Voro looked up at him, and in return he only got a hand gesture to "move on"
With wide eye rolls, he pressed the X button
[THE CHOICE HAS BEEN MADE]
[YOU HAVE CHOSEN THE CLASS OF PREDATOR]
[WELL DONE]
Storm started to clear out, the white void returned and the djinni returned to normal size and color.
[WELL THAT`S DONE]
[LET ME JUST PULL THE ACTUAL REWARDS NOW]
That one was in a completely normal, not booming or threatening way. Just a chill message.
And the reward box on the other hand, was very very booming and large.
A list of skills that reached the floor and passed through it appeared right in front of Voro.
"Okey....so those are ... skills"
[YES]
[SKILLS THAT HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH YOUR CLASS TO BE EXACT]
[NORMALLY, YOU WOULD GET A CLASS AND A BASIC SKILL FROM IT, BUT]
"Yes yes i get it, I already have one"
[PRECISLY]
The list was long and complicated. Many entries were written with an entire paragraph, and some with 4 words like "You like blood more". But all had to do something with being a predator animal : HeartBreath Sonar, Apex Silence, Stomach Acidic Digestion.
Thankfully, he could move the entire list up and down, which caused it to either be in the floor or not.
"Can I have a question sir Administrator? "
[SURE THING]
"What the hell is this one called [Everything tastes like chicken]"
[WHAT DO YOU MEAN]
"WHAT IS THAT " Very visibly he pointed towards the particualr entry on the list
[WELL. ITS A SKILL THAT MAKES YOU TASTE CERTAIN THINGS MORE LIKE CHICKEN]
"WHY????"
[DIDN`T YOU JUST EAT A GOBLIN]
"Yea but, that`s not, how do ,....." The confusion kept on piling on
"Okey I kind of get it"
[THERE WE GO]
A few minutes, maybe an hour, maybe not even 30 seconds later, Voro has made his choice
[HUH]
[OKEY]
[YOU SURE?]
"Yes sir"
[NOW AS MUCH AS I ENJOYED THIS...TALK]
[ITS TIME FOR YOU TO LEAVE]
"Awww. But its nice here"
[YES YES THANK YOU]
[BUT BACK TO BUISNESS]
[YOUR OTHER REWARDS WILL GET TO YOU SHORTLY]
"When? If i can ask?"
[WHEN IM DONE CORRECTING THE ERROR]
[NOW SHUSHH IM TALKING]
Voro politely made a step backwards
[HERE`S HOW ITS GOING TO GO NOW]
[ILL END THE MEETING]
[YOU GO BACK TO YOUR BODY]
[AND YOU BLEED OUT TO DEATH]
"Huh?"
[WELL YOU MUST HAVE FORGOTTEN]
[YOU ALMOST DIED]
[I JUST WANTED TO TALK TO YOU BEFORE THAT HAPPENED]
"Im not going to die"
[SURE]
[IF YOU WON`T]
[WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT LATER]
[WHEN YOU GET TO THE 10TH FLOOR]
[NOT BEFORE]
"Alright, see you then"
[YEA YEA]
The white void disappeared.
Replaced by the burned goblin village and Voro laying on the ground dying. Blood dripping from his mouth and dust inside his lungs.
[Teleporting in 5]
[4]
[3]
[2]
[1]
Voro smiled
And passed out.
