When I was done, I looked down and saw I was some sort of harpy. My legs were replaced with bird legs, complete with talons and claws. My arms were humanoid, but with claws as well. On my back were fluffy, but powerful yellow wings. There were also spare feathers along my arms and shoulders. A feathery tail was right where my tailbone was. Otherwise, the face and body shape was practically mine from real life. I changed my eyes to be lavender with the whites of my eyes black. I looked down and saw that my dick was missing. I checked it over and it said that I was a male. I guessed the slit I was looking at was a cloaca. I sighed and moved on. There was a lot of things to go over. I liked the wings and feathers. I thought my eyes were pretty cool. I then went over my starting equipment. It was a standard linen shirt and trousers. It had holes specifically for my wings and tail. I had daggers and a rapier. My class was rouge and I thought it would be fine. All I needed was to enter my name in the system. I decided to put in an ironic name: Canan Hawks.
The area the random function was set to spawn me in was Pollo Island. I was not sure what it would be like, but if Suzie was going to leave for Karlot Plains, it would not matter if I spawned this character in Epic City. Besides, it might be good to have a separate account to play solo with. I walked through a door and blinked as I appeared on a beach. It was beautiful and clean. It was in the evening. I walked around along the empty shoreline until I heard someone call to me. I looked around until I saw a head poke out from the waves. An arm beckoned out to me as the face smiled. I had two wings on my back. Wings got heavy when wet. Since I had not even used them yet, I was not going to risk it. I cupped my hands over my mouth and yelled "Come over here! I can't get in the water". The face stopped smiling and disappeared under the water. A few seconds later, I saw that the face was a merman. He had a green fish tail bellow the waist. He was as close as the water would allow him. "I like your wings. My name is Muri. What's your name?" he asked with smile.
I smiled back at him and gave him my in-game name. He said "Can I touch them? It would only be for a second". I frowned and said "I'm really sorry Muri. Water and feathers don't go together. I can stay here to talk". Muri had a disappointed look on his face. I asked him about the island. He looked surprised and said "A new comer to the island of Pollo? Most people don't stay here by choice. Well, you seem smart at least". I let it drop and asked if he had any tasks to give me. He smiled and flashed his sharp teeth. He said "I wish I had someone to play with. If you could bring someone here, that would be nice". I accepted the quest and promised I would be back. It took me a few minutes before I found a young couple also walking along the beach. The man drew his longsword from his back and held it out to me. "What the hell are you!? Fuck! Get behind me Jessie" he demanded. I raised my arms and said "My name is Canan. I was talking to this merman named Muri and he said he wanted to play with someone. Wanna come with me?".
He narrowed his arms and said "You don't know the legends? The flesh of merpeople will give you immortality. You sure you found one?" I nodded, but then frowned. I said "If it does give you immortality, why do they peek out of the water like that? Wouldn't they all be hunted down? It doesn't make sense". He shrugged and said "How should I know!? All I know is that they are the masters of the water. If you fall off the boat into the water with them, I can tell you that you won't get back out again". He put his sword away and followed me to where Muri was. The man pointed in shock. "Holy hell! That bird guy was right! A merman" Jessie held onto his arm and nodded at him. The merman smiled and said "You found some humans? Nice". The young man drew his sword and said "Hey, give us some of your flesh! We want to be immortal". Muri said "Come and get it. If you survive, you will deserve it". He frowned and said "Yeah right". He then turned to me and said "He's obviously just waiting to eat whoever gets in the water". I was thinking the same thing and nodded.
