After the light faded away from my vision, I have once again felt clothes on myself, and a ground behind my back, and grass. The grass felt nice and the little breeze as well. The birds chirping was calming. As they say, a silent forest is a dangerous forest. Oh, and it seemed that the sun was just rising. Or at least a sun.
Using this little respite, I decided to try out the obvious thing. System. Nothing. Maybe verbal? ‘System!’ Oh god this voice is cute. Menu. ‘Menu!’ Escape. ‘Escape!’ Maybe it’s a hand motion? I waved my hand around, which made it dawn on me that I did indeed get shorter.
After trying various other things, a notification appeared in my vision. [Messages (2)]. Focusing on it a small menu appeared.

Welcome adventurer to Etherysia! |
Focusing on the message first sent, which seemed to be a more automatic one.

Message: Welcome to Etherysia! |

Apart from the strangeness of it being formatted like email. It’s the year 20000? Also, I’m Unnamed, can I name myself? Though, there was no name select in the character creator, if I think back. Alright, let’s continue reading this email, I mean message.

Welcome Unnamed to Etherysia! This is an automatic message sent to all newcomers to this Realm. As you may have found out this Realm has no Memory Oblivion for first-timers, as a bonus. However, if you die and get resurrected you will lose your memories, so don’t die! Since that is easier said than done, I have attached the [Inspect] ability with which you can check out yourself. Just think of the ability and yourself as the target. As you have chosen the Forest starting place, I have enclosed some rations race-agnostic rations for 7 days, and an [Obsidian Adventure Card], as well as [Obsidian Language Proficiency] trait, as well as a gold coin that should last you for a while. You should note that adventure rank goes from F to SS, and the currency exchanges are 35 copper is 1 silver, 35 silver is 1 gold. This means 1225 copper is a gold. There isn’t a higher domination, because there isn’t something that costs over 35 gold and don’t need an accountant for. Obsidia is the central empire on the central continent. A stable and unbreakable nation forged in the fires of rebellion a thousand years ago. They took obsidian as their emblem and flag. You can practice on some slimes, then head to the nearest city to start practicing your Magic with the Mages Guild. Attachments:

Well, that’s certainly one way to get the lore, if you aren’t born in this world. I collect what I can then move on to the next message, which has a tad more worrying title.

From: Aetheria, Goddess of Ether Hello my lovely little cute daughter! If you read the previous message, you may be confused. If you haven’t read it, you should, since this will be even more confusing then. That previous message would be for those who choose a much more regular race and class. I made the mistake of only checking for the Forest starting location, when creating that automated message. As a demigoddess, you should have [Divine Language Comprehension], meaning you get to understand any and all languages you should come across. You also get [Divine Inspect], which is an upgraded [Inspect], one fun thing of it, is we can leave notes to each other in people’s profiles. Furthermore, as I am your mother, I got to name you. I hope you like the name! Speaking of which, you should definitely discard the adventurer card that the previous email has, because it probably just has the default name. You can do so by thinking of magic manipulation, disintegrate, and finally the item. This will turn it into pure ether. Don’t use this on living beings, or Death and Life will get angry with you! I have enclosed an adventure card with your name in this message. Furthermore, I have also enclosed a [Sigil of Aetheria], that is bound to you. Usually high-ranking priests get this, so they can act in the name of the church and/or the given god’s name. With how cute you are, some idiot noble would definitely want you, as such you can use this to get out of that kind of situation. Also, if they don’t want to teach you magic because of your child-like appearance, show this to the guild or branch master, they would definitely realize what’s up. I will also active the Mage tutorial for you. Have fun! Attachments:

Well, that solves the name problem. I like the name, let’s just hope I can blend in with it. Let’s check those Adventure Cards and disintegrate one of them. Even if they’re the same, having a duplicate would be useless.

Alright, let’s check the other one.

Obsidian Adventure Card #2 |

Name: Aeliana |

I see she was kind enough to hide my demigoddess status, but I can’t help but notice the discrepancy between the two dates of births. How old am I then? I guess there is one way to find out, but before that let’s disintegrate the other one. [Magic Manipulation] [Disintegrate] [Target: Obsidian Adventure Card #1]. This resulted in a notification: ‘This action has been reported to the Goddess of Ether.’ Well, she literally told me to do it, so that’s fine, but something to keep in mind.
And here we go. [Divine Inspect] [Target: Self].

Oh, Goddess, why. Let’s delete that note immediately, and let’s check mother out for comparison. [Divine Inspect] [Target: Aetheria]
World: "You will be an 18 year old adventurer."
Goddess: "No, Loli!"
That's how I interpret this lol.
World: 'What's a demigoddess? I dunno, must be an 18 year old adventurer.'
Goddess: 'That's my adoptive daughter, you stupid piece of-'
wailed my hand around, which made it dawn on me that I did indeed get shorter.
Waved.
