Jack found himself in a new place yet again. He was in a small white space of 2x2x2 meters illuminated by an unnatural glow. There were no doors, windows or anything else present. Only smooth white floor, ceiling and walls. Their surfaces were so perfect that he thought he was in an endless space of pure white in the beginning.

  The young man lay down in the middle of the room, taking almost his entire floor space. The exact moment he began to ponder why the log out command brought him to this place a screen suddenly popped into his view.

  After reading the whole thing, Jack scratched his head. Why did the entire instruction read like an add trying to sell him stuff? It seemed that God and everyone working under him were all eccentrics.

  A safe zone, that’s nice. I can always return here whenever I need to rest and take a breather. However, what does that ‘chosen path’ mean? If I remember correctly, there was a Path option in the menu.

  “Menu. Path.”

  A notification suddenly popped up.

  “A Path? What’s that? Oh, there’s a help command here! Help: Path.”

  It’s kind of like an alignment system… I usually go evil when playing games, but this time I don’t think I could do it. Blowing pixels on a screen to let off steam is one thing, but this is different. That monk felt real… he had genuine emotion in his eyes. I’ll try to keep away from any humanoid enemies unless I have to.

  “Yes. I’ll follow the Path of Good.”

  The screen with the question changed. It stopped for a moment on another screen with numerous names until it highlighted the Path of Good. The confirmation soon followed.

  “Wait, how many paths were there? Oh, no! I thought it was a binary system! I didn’t know there were so many options! I could’ve chosen something more suited for me!”

  “Well, at least it doesn’t sound too restricting,” Jack relented. “Whatever, no point whining about it now. Let’s see which skills I got! Menu. Skills.”

  All right! That’s a good skill! The cooldown is not short enough to be abusable, but not long enough to be trash. It seems it’s multipurpose too, so it should work for attacking, defending and crafting. Let’s see the other one.

  That’s… kind of vague. What does it mean by unusual aura? I don’t feel any different. It says some beings will be attracted by it… Does this make me more appealing to the opposite sex or something? But if it was only that they could just spell it out. This wording is just too broad. Welp, this one seems like a dud.

  “I can still pretty much choose any profession. I thought my skills would help me decide which way to go, but Beginner’s Luck can be applied to everything it seems. All in all, it’s alright. It’s not like I’m in a rush or anything either way.”

  Time to see what’s out there. If log out brought me here, it’s only logical that log in should send me back. Guess there is only one way to find out.

  “Log in.”
