Idea
The Pun Tyrant
GM Post
None among you were sure what would happen next. The goddess had just spoken her parting words to you, after you witnessed as so many of the sea of spirits in that empty, starry space, just disappeared into the ether, only a handful remaining. Those handful were now sent down to the new world, unknowing of what adventures might await them on the path to fulfill their true mission- to raise a kingdom for the goddess, one that would shelter her followers without compromise. You all felt a falling sensation, it was as though you were dropped from an air plane into a large tube, and felt just the very tips of fingers and hair touching the walls as you descended. Then there was something akin to a blink, and you were in an entirely different place, but not yet physically, appearing only as a golden specter of yourself (or for those among you reincarnating, your former self), unable to move out of your current position.

Of all predicaments, yours was perhaps the simplest. You were simply hovering slightly above a pool in a cave illuminated by fluorescent lights from the water itself, and the runed rocks bathing in said water as well. You were unable to see one another for now, but you could wander through the lake as you thought about the menu which popped up in front of you, almost like that of a video game, and simply reading "Welcome to the System!".

You specter found itself in a cave, surrounded by minerals that just sprouted from the ground like flowers, while the walls were covered in gooey metal that didn't seem particularly difficult to scoop up with a few tools. You were hovering as the above were, but your movements were restricted by the fact your back seemed to be connected to the wall behind you, leaving you unable to separate from the point where they touched. As above, the menu popped up appeared in front you.
Idea (4)
As for you, your specter found itself in front of a surprisingly clean-looking coffin, within some manner of cramped stone basement with nothing but the coffins, some vases, and some stairs to your left. You couldn't seem to move away from the coffin, being stuck facing it for the time being. Well, the menu did get in between anyways though.

At that point, the menu changed, revealing a series of options one could select. There were a lot of things that were fixed, and one seemed unable to change, such as height, gender, background, and a particular Extra Skill called "Archetype" whose description seemed entirely unreadable. Nonetheless, the choices in each category were enough to scroll through for hours.
Once you finished your choices, the menu would close, and you would see your spectral body disintegrating into a golden mist that would float down to the ground, before gathering and forming an entirely new body, be this body standing on a glowing pool, being gently lowered inside the fruit of a tree or trapped in a coffin that would prove surprisingly simple to open. The one exception was the metallic being ( Solirus ), whose mist would instead fuse into the wall behind them, and their body would slowly emerge from that wall, forming from the liquid metal which covered it. Some of your equipment would already be on you, while the rest of it would be nearby.
(1) Those of you who came outside would find yourselves among a great clearing of trees in an unfamiliar forest. For the most part, there was nothing but a floor of grass and trees in the distance. However, there was a straw hut to the right of those who came from the pool, the same direction as the small hill from which the entrance of main mineral cave was. Somewhat further behind the direction of the pool, a little deeper into the forest, were the ruined remains of stone buildings, arches with elaborate design, and an awful lot of stairs. Buried in one of those structures were the undead reincarnators. The ruins were also connected to a river, which flowed out from the side and onto what was the summon's left.
(5) The last thing of note, for now, was a singular small tree, no taller than a common child, with barely any leaves and just a few long branches, wherein several berries of purple and red colors grew. To be precise, there were exactly 30 berries.
And with this, your time in this new world began. The quiet of a forest where even the sounds of chirping birds were uncommon, was about to be overturned by the arrival of those never meant to be present in this world. What the world would do in response, only time could tell- what you will, only you can choose.
