New Dryad Player POV

I chose the Dryad species from the Faekin Race as I saw them as beautiful earth goddesses. There may be goddesses in the game, but I always liked that they are beings that guards the forests. Unlike me who is afraid of the outdoors and is called ugly by some of the people around me. I guess I want to at least feel beautiful in a game as it is a gateway for fantasies after all.

I really liked the UI of the Forest Guardian species as we could decorate what we can look like. You could even upload an image of a tree that is not in the tree directory if you want to do so. Since my favorite tree was not there, I chose to upload an image of it, and I managed to use the Angel Oak tree. I think I took at least three hours making sure everything is looking fine. This will be a permanent avatar after all which is why I must not cut corners. When I finished customizing my avatar to what I like, I am suddenly sent down to the Town of Genesis as the game stated. All I saw is darkness when I woke up and it is not the pleasant kind. It felt like I was trapped and could not move as if I am rooted in place.

"It seems like the new saplings have already awakened. All of you might be confused but follow the tone of my voice. I will be your guide." A beautiful voice of a woman stated.

Beside me is a three-meter-tall looking plant but it is actually my real body. It seems that the first test for a Forest Guardian species is to emerge from their body. I managed to do it quickly which is a plus for me, but it seems there are also others that did it with me. The others soon emerged, and I realized that we all look like kids. Green skinned little kids that have body parts made out of wood and leaves.

If anyone sees us in the real world then they would call us Children of the Forest. The sheer horror of seeing us would make them faint but this is a game. Anyway, we look like elves if it is just our silhouette, but we are definitely not when they come close to us. It is said that elves were born from the Forest Guardian race so maybe the resemblance is due to our race.

Anyways, as soon as all of us have emerged, the two adult Forest Guardians started to talk about our species. An interesting fact that I learned is that the Forest Guardian species could reproduce just by gathering essence. Essentially, the gender of their partners is basically not needed to be considered when reproducing. Still, consent must be given by the other party in order to create children.

As soon as the general knowledge is given, all of us were given choices on what job classes we want. We were not restricted to specific classes which I liked but I always wanted to be a mage, so I chose to be one. Forest Guardians have innate nature magic which is why I chose it, and others did as well. After the tutorial, the two adult forest guardians told us to take root in the mortal realm as we cannot do so here.

I did not understand what they meant but they said we could do that in Alfheim. When we left the tutorial zone, I was transported to the Shrine of the Fae located in Avalon. I did not last long as I immediately went to Alfheim as soon as the portal was opened.
