4 Welcome To Ashes of Gods (2/2)

Stopping his urge lay her still, Mark answered with gritted teeth.

”Then, let's do that.”

Hearing his confirmation, Gabriel finally stopped bouncing. Again, with a swipe of her left hand, Mark's avatar turned into particles of light, scattered by a non-existing wind. Then a globe formed, showing the map of Ashes of Gods.

”You can check the description of each country by focusing on it,” Gabriel stated before leaving the floor to Mark.

Looking at the globe, Mark already knew which country he is going to choose. But just for the sake of keeping his facade, he decided to check a few other empires first.

The map was split into four continents and two poles. The continents were named Eudrea, Solon, Auruboth, and Qiunis. The strongest empires for each of them were Oqibalon, Furix, Red Moon, and Agios. Each having their own set of beliefs and, for some of them, their own race.

However, Mark wasn't interested in any of that at the moment. His eyes were set on a certain kingdom on the Eudrea continent: Pliyx Stal Kingdom.

Focusing on Pliyx Stal, a description of the Kingdom filled the interface.

”Pliyx Stal kingdom is ruled by the Stal family, thus the name. The Pliyx came from a legend of a relic long lost. The properties of the relic differ depending on who you ask, and what their region is…”

Seeing that the description will take a thousand year to finish, Mark just skimmed through it fast. He already knew whatever was written on the description due to past life experiences.

”Aha!”

Finally finding what he was looking for Mark read.

”Nobles in Pliyx Stal kingdom are decided at birth. Those who are born with golden hair only, are low nobles. Those who are born with golden hair and golden eyes are high nobles. Traces of someone being born with only golden eyes have not been found, but the current consensus is that they would be considered high noble, if only due to their rarity…”

As Shesmu read those words out loud, he looked at Gabriel.

”I choose Pliyx Stal as my kingdom of birth.” He affirmed.

At his declaration, Gabriel smiled and said.

”Understood, and for your town?”

Mark faked his hesitation for a second, before looking back at the map to make it seem as if he is checking it again.

”Hmm, Make it the Stal Capital City.”

At his antics, Gabriel chuckled for a second before answering.

”Understood, but please understand that for the first 20 levels, you'll stay in a beginner town affiliated to the City of your choosing. This applies to all players and all cities.”

With a swipe of her hand, the world map disappeared to leave a place for the naked avatar.

At this sight, Shesmu grinned.

Finally, everything is set into place.

The first thing Mark did was will his eyes to change color to golden. He was at first thinking to play it safe and just go for the golden hair and eyes combo, but since this was just the beta, Mark didn't mind spicing things up a little.

From the corner of his eye, Mark looked at the angel. Gabriel's face almost didn't betray her inner thoughts, only the amused smile showed her true reaction to the events happening before her.

I guess that's a pass… Now, for the second phase of the plan. Hopefully, it goes well.

Crossing his fingers behind his back, Mark turned to face Gabriel.
