"Hey, quit complaining. Others would kill to get a race like this."

"What... what's with the eyes? Where are my eyelids? My eyebrows? Why are my ears saggy? Also, what's with the hair colour? Can't we just go black? What's with this rainbow shit?"

"Suck it up. Listen, if you aren't into that kind of things just get an illusion skill and fix your appearance. Well, the tail might be a problem, but I'm sure you will figure something out."

Al snapped her fingers and peters body started to slightly shift. He grew a slight hunchback and a tail sprouted from his spine. His eyebrows disappeared and thick skin covered his eyelids like that of a crocodile. The tail kept growing and soon reached a length thrice his height. His upper canines grew into vampirish teeth while his tongue split into two inside his mouth. A third eye appeared on his forehead but remained closed.

"So how do you feel? Dizzy?" Al's voice woke him back from his predicament. Peter tried moving but lost his balance due to the change in his spinal structure. "I'm afraid it will take some getting used to," Al said slightly supporting Peter.

"Now to the rest of the changes. It's time to reevaluate your classes. Just relax while we fix you up, Ok." Peter felt his legs go soft and sat down on the wooden stool.

"If you need my opinion, I'd say, put your points into intelligence and vitality. A mage doesn't need that much strength. Also, don't raise your agility too high too fast. You still need to understand how your new body moves." Al said came and sat next to Peter trying to comfort him.

"Can I go then?" Peter was still trying to understand how his body moved. It appears the tail has a brain of its own as it keeps moving although Peter tried to control it.

"Yes, oh one more thing. Try not to die in any group events. All legendary and unique classes will die permanently during events. See you around." And Peter was back starting at Vayazi who was sitting on the boulder.

With a smiling face, Vayazi approached Peter and said, "It's an honour to see the long-forgotten illicote race once again."

"Where can I get an illusion spell?" Peter suddenly asked. He had an itch on his mane and started scratching his head and the back of his neck.

"Also what's with the level limit?" "That? You just need to hit the max on all elemental affinity and that should remove it. And if you need an illusion spell I can give you one. Here." Vayazi gave Peter a skill tome.

You received a skill tome, Remodel.

Skill tome: Remodel

Req: Mage, Mana reserve 200

Skill type: Active Stealth

Type: Multi-use

Class: All class

Peter quickly learned the skill and gave Vayazi the tome back.

"It's better not to use it right away. Try to fight a few monsters in the area. Otherwise, you might not be able to maintain the spell constantly. Also, just because you use the skill doesn't mean you can make your limbs disappear. That tail of yours seems extremely happy playing around."

Vayazi and Peter walked towards the tail of the stream. They reached a spot where the stream became a waterfall with a small lake at the bottom. "If you get down from here and walk a bit to the west, you should reach Hedgesnow. It will be better to hunt a few monsters down there before you go to town. Well, I will be leaving then."

"Thank you." With a nod, Vayazi disappeared leaving Peter to his demise.

Peter sat down checking out his new race. There were too many changes for him to go through. He went through everything one by one.

The extra spells that Peter gained were all extremely powerful. Peter went through his stats and allocated the mana to what seemed fitting. Peter placed 25 points to agility, reaching 100 points in speed, back to where he was.

After allocating the rest of the points Peter tried to activate his mirage wings.

You have activated Mirage Wings. 10000 mana has been reserved towards Mirage wings.

Two large eagle wings sprouted from Peter's spine and towered over his head. He looked up and saw the feathered wings. 'Cool.' He slowly tried moving the wings but to his dismay, it was found extremely difficult. After ten minutes of constant struggle to stretch his wings, Peter finally figured out how and was able to spread it out enough to feel the wind friction on it.

'Let's try it.' The excited Peter went to the cliffside and slowly tried to glide with the strong wind current. The wings didn't hold and he plummeted straight unto the lake at the bottom of the cliff.

Splash

The loud sound of someone struggling to stay up followed as the wet feathers weighed him down and almost drowned him. Once he got hold of himself Peter got to the shore and withdrew his wings. 'Maybe another time.'

You have released Mirage wings. Mana points restored.

Looking through his insanely large mana pool, Peter quickly allotted 40000 mana to his defence. 'Time to check out these new skills.'

Peter walked further into the forest searching for stronger monsters. The eastern forest had weaker monsters compared to the west, but a vast majority of the eastern region was still undiscovered. Considering how high the Eldercreek citizens were Peter felt there was more to this side of the Alder forest.

'Why else would Vayazi come here?'

After walking around a bit Peter slowly got used to his tail wiggling around behind his back. He soon was able to slowly control it and tried to coil it around his belly, but the tail wasn't as flexible as he though. He also found it difficult to maintain his balance without it.

With no monsters in the area, Peter went through his quest logs to see what has changed. To his surprise, all his passive quests were removed apart from the alchemist trader quest that he received from Alder. This didn't bother Peter as he knew quests were easy to find. Compared to his gains from his race change, the few passives he lost were of little importance.

'Where are all the monsters?' Even after walking around for thirty minutes, Peter wasn't able to find any creatures. He soon became spooked as a new quest came his way.

Active Quest

1. Where are all the monsters?

For some reason, the monsters in the eastern forest are found missing. Is this due to the overhunting of the humans or is there any mysterious hands at play? Find the truth behind the occurrence.

- Check for any animal remains left behind by hunters. (0/1)

- Survey the rest of the Eastern Alderriver forest. (0/1)

- Report your finding to Lady Alder of Town Hall, Hedgesnow, Caretakers of Alderriver forest. (0/1)

'Oh great. And I get a quest.' Peter who was planning to head back to the town was pissed being forced into a random quest. He turned back and went further into the thicket of the forest and started seeing animal guts sprayed all across the area.

'Looks like a slaughter fest. Wait, did Vayazi dropped me off here on purpose?' There were claw marks on the trees as if something tried to tear them apart with raw force.

The blood-splattered across the area made Peter repulsive but the quest pushed him further ahead. He rushed ahead a but faster and soon reached into an opening in the woods. The site in front of him was horrifying.

There were piles upon piles of dead animals stacked up high and hoarded as if they were trophies. It took Peter a few seconds to realize that there was something behind the heaps of bodies. It was too late. Peter was hit by a tree branch with extreme force and was sent flying the way he came.

The hit disoriented him. When he came back to it, he saw a creature similar to the one that Alder killed under the river bed rushing towards him. The hit was strong enough for him to get killed had it not been for Peter allocating such a huge part of his mana to defence.

Frendoz Nightwig Junior SENTIENT LVL 50

Low demon aristocrat, Underworld Knight

HP: 10,000,000

AP: 40000

DEF: 60000

Peter knew he couldn't kill it like he used to. He was still getting used to his new body and he hadn't tried out any of his attacks. His best chance was to leave the place and report the incident to Alder.

The demon paused for a few seconds and with a determined look started rushing towards him. Peter got up quickly and cast one of his new spells.

Water Prison

A few pillars of water sprouted around the demon and grabbed on to him immediately. The demon kept struggling but the water held him back. Taking the chance, Peter used the flight spell and flew higher up into the air toward the direction of Hedgesnow.

Looking back, he saw the demon destroy the water pillars and letting out a wild scream.
