“Human!”

Why would you want to be a cephalopodian!? “Earth human.”

- Acknowledged. Select a class. - the thing said impatiently.

Again with the list. “Do I get weapons with this character upgrade?”

- Yes.- The menu shifted to weapons, all medieval of course and their cost. You had 20 gold and a sword cost 10 gold. There was also a shield worth 2 gold and leather armour for 8 gold.

“What is the best class to use those weapons?” You ask.

-Fighter, thief, monk, warlock…- the thing lists.

You blink away the words as you look down the ally into the eyes of an armed and armoured thing that looked like the mating of a lopsided featured hairless dog with a rhino. Mostly because of its huge size.

Your eyes widen and you lick your lips. “Um… Thief, sword and armour and shield… equipped.” You step back as the new thing - dog thing snorts and grins, spinning a knife the size of a short sword as it stars the wall towards you.

- Skills? - The HUD thing asked.

“Um… hide in shadows, backstab, climb walls, dodge …. And what the fuck find traps and secret doors and magic items. Oh yeah read scrolls and…” you babbled stream of conscious as you realised dog thing was going to kill you.

-Those — zzzz — are not — acknowledged- the HUD thing said.

“Oh… um… what was I meant to say when I wanted to apply what I’ve chosen!” You asked as the dog thing started to run. It sounded like a stampede of rhino’s.

-Initiate —zzzz — but — HUD struggled.
