Dim torchlight flickered against the towering stone pillars as five figures materialized in the ancient hall. Their sudden arrival sent a small pulse of energy through the air, unnoticed by the scattered players still adjusting to the game.
Arianna stood at the front, her distinct two-toned hair catching the glow of the torches—jet-black on one side, golden blonde on the other. Her right eye gleamed gold, while her left shimmered green, giving her an otherworldly presence. She glanced down at her hands, flexing her fingers as she took in her real body. "Feels… weird," she muttered.
Beside her, Jack stretched, his furry tail swaying behind him. Unlike the others, he was in his monkey form, his sharp teeth flashing in a grin. "Man, I love games. Feels like I'm back in an old-school RPG."
