Omega Summoner

Chapter 2170: Birth of a Faekin II

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.

The voice of the woman is a bit cold, but it carried this mature warmth to it. She said that we are currently in our tree, and we need to manifest our bodies to the realm. It seems that the Dryad and Leshy species are indeed trees. We are basically trees that gained intelligence and power to separate our souls from the tree body.

”All you need to do is imagine yourself coming out of the darkness as if you are just waking up. Imagine a warm light falling down upon your face and reach out for that light.”

This time a deep voice instructed us, and it sounded incredibly handsome. I think this should be a Leshy since the Forest Guardian species are very distinct when it comes to their sex. Males would always be Leshy, and females will always be Dryads. I like it as it makes things less complicated. I did what the voice of the Leshy told me to do and imagined the warmth of the sun coming down from my face.

I reached out to the warmth of the sun and my vision changed in an instant. I managed to finally see the world around me, but I am not inside the Town of Genesis. It seems that I and the others are deep inside the forest near the Town of Genesis. I am finally able to see dryad and leshy that talked earlier, and they were vastly different from what I imagined them to be.

I thought that the dryad would be full of leaves, but she was actually mostly made of dried vines. She is still incredibly beautiful as the dried vines formed this cool looking crown behind her head. She looked like a goddess of death or something which is completely opposite that of the Leshy.

The Leshy is adorned with almost all kinds of flora and fauna as if he was made of it. His face is hidden with a wooden mask, but I think that is his real face. He also has this horns that is lush with leaves which is why some birds even perch on it. He looked like a real forest god if one looked at him as I am sure that ancient people would have bowed down to him.

”I guess there are promising sprouts from the saplings as they were the first ones to emerge from their bodies.” The dryad stated with glee, but she maintained a cool and stoic face.

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.
