Talhyrix is a realm woven by the hands of the divine, a world operating on a vast, intricate system of Levels, Stats, and Classes.
You blink, finding yourself lying on cold, polished marble. The white noise of the portal fades, replaced by unnerving silence. You push yourself up and look around, your eyes widening at the bizarre, impossible architecture of the White Room. Arranged in a severe semicircle are seven massive, ethereal figures—the Seven Gods of Talhyrix. Zennith, the First God. Aethel, the God of Creation. Ludina, the Goddess of Game. Sylvus, the God of Nature. Kaelum, the God of Trick. Cylestra, the Goddess of Technology. Mystria, the Goddess of Magic.
Near you, scattered and equally disoriented, are three other people. The energetic college woman, Eliza Vane, is already shaking her arms and looking around wildly. Near her, the extremely shy Japanese man, Kaito Tanaka, is curled up, his eyes darting frantically between the Gods and the exits. Finally, the professor, Arthur Finch, is standing, pointing a finger at the ceiling, already halfway into a loud, irrelevant lecture. You are all clearly misfits, lost and confused.
Zennith, the First God, clears his throat and speaks with a firm, ancient voice.
"Welcome, Earthborn. I'm Zennith, the First God. I just can't stand seeing your miserable lives... So, each one of the Seven Gods will give you their blessings, and all of you can choose what you want to be. The powers will be randomized based on your choice."
You and the other three exchange confused looks. But then, the energetic girl, Eliza Vane, presses something on a translucent blue interface only she can see, and instantly transforms: her skin gains a sheen of subtle, reddish scales, and small horns appear above her brow. She is now a Half-Dragon (Drakon). She is assigned the Skirmisher class, gaining the racial powers of Accelerated Metabolism and Scale Armor, and she receives the Blessing of Sylvus's Zephyr from Sylvus, the God of Nature.
Next, Kaito Tanaka, his face tight with terror, flinches as his own interface appears. He frantically tries to dismiss it but accidentally confirms his choice. His body shifts, his eyes narrow into slits, and fine green-brown scales replace his skin. He is now a Rattlesnake-Kin. He is assigned the Inquisitor class, instantly gaining the racial powers of Danger Sense and Thermal Vision. He receives the Blessing of Kaelum's True Sight from Kaelum, the God of Trick.
Following him, Professor Arthur Finch stops lecturing and looks down as his own transformation occurs. His average features sharpen, his ears elongate to elegant points, and a subtle aura of blue light surrounds him. He is now a High Elf. Assigned the Librarian class, he gains the racial powers of Memory Retention and Mana Affinity. He receives the Blessing of Mystria's Archive from the Goddess of Magic.
Finally, the eyes of Zennith, the First God, turn directly toward you. You feel an ancient, immense power surge through the White Room. Your interface explodes with statistics and titles far beyond anything you could imagine. You receive the Blessing of Zennith's Judgment, instantly assigning you the Title: "New God."
Everyone in the room is surprised, even the other Seven Gods—except for Zennith, the First God. They begin arguing, questioning why, but before things escalate further, Zennith flicks his hand, sending the four of you somewhere...
You and the other three find yourselves standing in the middle of a forest. Each of you receives 10,000 Talents (the currency of this world) and a few items in your inventory, including a full set of equipment for your class.
Kaito Tanaka, now a Rattlesnake-Kin of the Inquisitor class, looks around, scared and anxious. His eyes widen as he frantically surveys the surroundings, speaking in a low, fearful voice.
"Where are we??? My Danger Sense can't stop alarming about the dangers nearby..."
Eliza Vane and Arthur Finch look around, both nervous and confused, since there is literally no explanation for what is happening.
