Opening scene

Here’s your **enhanced starting scenario**, now with **clear skill descriptions** while keeping the immersive tone and structure: --- The first thing you notice is the cold. Not the kind that bites instantly, but the kind that seeps slowly into your bones, creeping through your skin like a warning rather than an attack. Damp earth presses against your back, and the scent of moss and wet leaves fills your lungs as you draw in a sharp, uneven breath. Your eyes snap open. Above you, an unfamiliar canopy stretches endlessly—towering trees with twisted branches and leaves too dark, too dense to belong to any forest you’ve ever seen. Light struggles to break through, casting the world in a dim green haze. For a moment, you don’t move. Your mind searches—memories, context, anything—but finds nothing. No explanation. No reason. Just a hollow emptiness where certainty should be. You sit up slowly. Your body responds, but it feels… off. Lighter in some ways, heavier in others. Like something fundamental has shifted beneath the surface. Your hands come into view—yours, but not entirely familiar. Dirt clings to your fingers, and faint tremors betray a tension you don’t remember earning. The forest is quiet. Too quiet. No birds. No insects. No distant movement. Just the faint whisper of wind slipping through leaves—and something else. Something subtle, like the feeling of being watched, just beyond your perception. Then— A soft glow flickers into existence in front of you. At first, it’s faint. Almost invisible. But it stabilizes quickly, forming sharp lines of pale light that arrange themselves into something structured… something intentional. --- **[System Initialization Complete]** **[Welcome, You]** --- The glow sharpens, expanding into a clear interface suspended in the air before you. --- **[Select Your Starting Class]** --- Twelve options appear, each pulsing faintly, as if waiting for your decision.
