You are standing by a tree
There are 3 paths.
One appears to go to a jungle,
one appears to go to a cave,
one appears to go to a beach,
you could try and climb the tree,
there is a nearby shop you could go in,
or you could do something else.
So what's its going to be?

In the shop
There is a table with a sign saying

Adventure Game
For a moment, you sit staring at the computer screen. The game loaded so quickly, that now you’re waiting in of an opening screen. The pixels quickly formulate themselves into the backdrop of an open field on all sides of you. The faintest motion of wind rustling the thick landscape of grasses ripples across your vision, but even as the distant landscape formats with the loading page, nothing but the field is there. You shift your head, turning your gaze within the virtual reality of the game to check to your sides, but find only more of the same rippling landscape there as well. The same, golden shade of grass sprouted up from the Earth on all four sides of your body.
Eyebrows knitting together, you try to figure out what is supposed to be happening. “There’s nothing here” you mutter, considering trying to remove the goggles you’d placed on until you notice a selection screen. “Choose your character” flashed as fading white letters in the distant backdrop of blue sky. You read it, though you’re not sure what character to select or even how to do that.
You eyes scanned over everything again, noticing that a sign had been added to the game off to the left, font sketched into its surface: “Random.”

Custom
You still can't believe the quality of this virtual reality game, from how real the world looks to the sounds of rippling grass around yourself, gently swaying strands that rustles in a digital breeze.
You look back to the small sign in front of you, a small frown on your face at the sight of the word 'Random'. In your experience, anything that was up to chance could only end poorly, and you begin to look for another sign.
Much to your surprise, before you can fully turn, the sign before you flickers, the letters twisting and morphing into a different word entirely: 'Custom'. You smile at that, a faint chuckle escaping your throat. "Now this is what I'm talking about."
You head to the sign and tap it, marveling at how the game was somehow able to give you a sense of tactile immersion. As you press the sign, it glows gently; and several new options pop up, far more than you'd expected. There's the expected race and gender menus, but also a series of odd menus, like 'stance' and 'species'.
The only question is... Which button do you press next?

Gender (Female)
Never one to beat around the bush, you go straight for the gender option, arching an eyebrow as a few more options than you had expected appear. Male and female are there, of course; but there's also categories for hermaphrodites and gender-neutral settings. You ignore the last two for now, focused on the first two selections instead.
While it would be nice to play this game in your natural male gender, you can't help but remember how all of your characters in roleplaying games are female. It's a dilemma, but one that only lasts a few seconds. Old habits beat natural instincts, and you press the 'female' button with a grin on your face.
The effects of your action are immediate, a strange sensation flowing through your form, like you've just been dipped into a warm pool. You look down and find that for form is beginning to change, your arms and legs becoming slimmer; your hips beginning to round.
Your scalp tingles as though someone's massaging it, and you watch as your hair grows longer and longer; until it hangs in your peripheral vision and rests against your neck.
You've never grown your hair out this long before, so this is quite a novel sensation, and you brush the strands that tickle your cheeks to a spot behind your ears. Of course, the most prominent change is the one to your chest, as a pair of supple breasts slowly stretch out your shirt, held tight against the fabric. You can't help but let out a small moan at the feeling of how tightly your clothing is hugging you in some places, and you hurriedly undo the top two buttons of your shirt.
You know that you should probably be more modest, given that you're apparently now a woman; but you also realize that you're in a videogame. The judgment of a few pixels doesn't bother you in the least, and you look down to find yourself staring at a modest pair of breasts.
Naturally, you let your hands wander to them, squeezing each gently only to moan as a spike of sensation shoots through your form. That was unexpected; somehow that really felt... Real, for lack of a better term. You grin and make a mental note to explore your form later, letting your hands fall back to your curvy hips as you look back to the screen.

Species (Lioness)
A wave of tawny yellow fur seems to wash over your arm the second you press the lioness option, your previously bare limb covered in a thick coat of fur within seconds. The speed of the spreading fur continues across your shoulder and down your body evenly, at one point leaving exactly half your body covered in fur and the other half completely hairless. It must be an odd look for the split second it occurs, especially when there seems to be no other aspects you’d expect with such a transformation occurring. As the last of the fur crawls its way over your body, you start to wonder if perhaps there was some sort of glitch that is turning you into nothing more than a very hairy human woman.
That turns out to not be the case, though the way the transformation continues is also unexpected. As the fur that’s essentially washed over you settles to cover the hand that didn’t press the button, it is on said hand that the next stage of your transformation advances. Your pinky finger, the very last bit to get coated, suddenly started to grow numb as the last hairs settle in. As you watch the tip seems to swell slightly before your eyes, the fingertip gaining a more circular shape. Turning your hand over shows a small black pad has emerged through the fur, your ring finger tip slowly darkening as it begins to reshape like your now full transformed pinky.
The rest of your hand follows suit, but it’s only when your hand is fully transformed that something else seems to unlock. Claws emerge from the very tips of your fingers, small but wickedly sharp. You feel your foot going through a similar transformation as well, which might make footwear a little troublesome if you can’t control it. A small sigh of relief escapes you when you realize the claws on both your hands and feet are retractable.
The strange transformation style continues as one of your ears begin to feel uncomfortable and numb. Any firmness and rigidity feels lost when you gently grip the transforming ear, the flesh feeling more like soft, bubbling wax than cartilage in your hand. The top of it begins to tip over slightly and round out while pressure begins to build on your eardrum as though you have a terrible cold. It builds and builds until a sudden, “POP!” it immediately dissipates.
Your newly sharpened hearing(well, in one ear at the moment, at least) kicks in just in time to catch the sound of crunching bone as your muzzle starts to stretch out. The side to side style of transformation continues here as well as your back teeth start to shift and sharpen, working up your bite line as more teeth follow suit. Even your tongue seems to be getting in on the act as it slowly starts to grow rougher and more feline. It feels incredibly strange even though it’s not painful, and you can only imagine what this would like to an outside observer especially when your face structure is an even 50/50 split between human and lion. It’s a relief when the other half of your body starts to get swept up in the changes and evens everything out.
With the odd feelings of how your face was changing, it was no wonder you were distracted from the emerging of a lioness’ tail just above your butt. If it followed the same pattern of transformation as the rest of you perhaps it’s best you were too distracted to notice. The rest of the changes seem almost anti-climatic as one half of your body becomes symmetrical with the other. You take a moment once the final pinkie finger joins the rest of your body in anthropomorphic lioness form, stretching and getting used to your new shape as a new screen pops up in front of you asking you to choose your stance. You decide you’ll go…

Stance: Quad
Trying something a little different from your bipedal existence, you press the button for a quadruped stance. Your legs seem to give out beneath you almost immediately as you do, your face passing through the holographic screen as you fall forward. You manage to land on your hands, managing to save yourself from an embarrassing faceplant. Instinctively you try to push yourself back up, only to find that your legs don’t seem able to support you by themselves anymore. In fact, you feel your feet beginning to shift into a shape that feels much more comfortable on the ground as you are.
Though it’s hard to see exactly what’s happening to your feet, judging from the similar feelings emanating from your hands it must be close to what’s happening to them now. Your fingers seem to be shrinking, or at least redistributing their mass a bit as they become more rounded and wide. The shape is becoming less humanoid and more paw like as you find it much more to have your hands and feet flat against the earth. Before you can get used to your new limbs, though, the rest of your body begins to start losing the rest of its more humanoid features.
Your feminine curves are disappearing, or at least blending in more with the rest of your body. It feels as though you’re being stretched out, the mass that made up your hips and breasts sliding and shifting to make your overall frame larger and more powerful. The growing strength in your limbs is almost enough to ignore how loud the cracking of your continually shifting bones is. Thank goodness it only feels weird and not also as painful as you’d imagine it must if this was really happening to you.
In moments you feel the shifting of bones and body parts subside as the last of the changes finish. You take a few slow steps as you get used to your new form, finding your new life as a quadruped surprisingly easy to adjust to. You’re able to go from a slow and steady walk to a full out sprint without the slightest stumble or hesitation. Seriously, how does the game manage to make this so easy for you?
Before you can ponder too deeply on that, a new screen(this one a bit lower to allow your to reach it with ease) pop up, asking you to choose your class. With careful consideration, you paw at the option for…

Class: Spell Claw
Nothing seems to happen for a long time when you press the option for Spell Claw. You don’t feel any sort of changes, mental, physical, or otherwise as you look around your body to see if anything of note happened to you. It’s only on examination of your paw when one of your claws suddenly pop out seemingly on its own. Odd as it may be that a lone claw emerged is the fact that it seems to be glowing with an orange light. Your head tilts quizzically as you wave your paw through the air, though nothing seems to happen save for the continued glow.
Your confusion only grows when you put your paw on the ground and find said claw digging into the ground beneath you. Digging may not even be the most accurate way to describe it; the glowing claw moves through the earth with ease, cutting through soil and rock without any sort of resistance. It continues until you carve out a roughly circular shape in the ground, leaving a glowing outline in the dirt. When you place your paw in the middle of the shape, a small boulder of dirt and stone that holds together in a solid mass lifting up in the palm of your paw.
When you retract the glowing claw, the mass of dirt and stone behaves like it normally would and crumbles into pieces. You extend the claw again and repeat the process, coming up with a neat, roughly basketball sized mound of earth. When you try to cast it off your paw, it flings out with the speed of a major league fastball, traveling almost a hundred feet before falling to the earth and crumbling to pieces on impact with the ground. Experimentally you try a claw on your other paw, only this one comes out in a light green color. That paw gets an immediate reaction when you swipe through the air, sending a powerful gust of wind blasting outward from your paw.
You experiment a bit and discover a few things; each individual claw seems to have its own spell assigned to it. Once you unsheathe one claw on a paw, unsheathing others seems to amplify the effect of that paw’s original spell, though it also seems to drain your strength more quickly the more power you use. Also, while you can only have one spell active on each paw at a time, you can mix spells on separate paws together for combined effects; using the earth and wind magic you discovered earlier together causes a sandstorm to whip around you like a tornado while you remain perfectly safe in the eye of the storm when you slam your paws into the ground.
A new screen pops up after a bit more experimenting, prompting you to start your quest.
