idealized

You settle down in the pod the soft material molding around you and tingling as you relax into it. After the pod goes dark you feel a little pain and a rushing then find yourself in a dark room with a spotlight above and a mirror in front of you. The mirror reflects a very detailed version of yourself and asks if you would like to change anything providing you with a number of sliders... you resist the impulse to hammer random over and over like you usually do in souls games and make an idealized version of yourself, going from a little balding to long silky hair, from puggy to ripped, from a little below average height to 7' feet tall (the max it will let you).

You hit accept and a warning comes up "This form will take a great deal of essence to support making the game potentially more difficult" Understood/Back are your options. you click understood even though you don't and feel a rush again, pain ripping through you as you wake up nude, massive cock resting on the ground before you rise. Blinking into the blazing light you see a vast field in front of you, tall grass growing hiding god knows what and the only light source appears to be a crack in the distance.

You shake off the pain and look around, no equipment readily available you boldly march into the tall grass, hearing the skittering as soon as you do.
