Chapter 5 - Chapter 4 Character Creation

Normally, at this point we would be working on which world you will be entering.

"We?"

Yes, we. As in the new player and me.

As I was saying. Here we'll enter your character tab. System. Create new Character.

Initializing. .. ... New character creation start.

Warning. Advise host to save here unless they plan on never changing.

Oh. Good call. I almost forgot that myself.

So, yes, we did save your profile a short time ago. However, that is the core save file that will guarantee your existence even if your soul gets destroyed. Hence it's name of Zero.

This next save will be your starting point for each jump out there until you've experienced enough and accumulated enough power to rise above the system. The command is "System. Core file 1. Save Game at this point."

"System. Core file 1. Save Game at this point ."

Game saved. Please Enter a name for the save file.

Save as: Here we go again.

File Here we go again created. Warning file cannot be saved over or erased. Please enjoy your game.

Oh what have we here, a new player? I seem to remember this character creation having already finished. Must have been a system glitch. No matter I'll fix it based off of your previous choices. No need to thank me.

Synchronization errors, and causality issues. You're lucky he didn't do anything other than change your name, fix your gender and give your system a bit of an attitude.

"WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?!?" "Why is my name like that? Why is there already a physical profile for me? Who was that that just altered my system?"

The long and short of it is this. We already finished your character creation once. You were originally going to name yourself Lucian because you wanted ro be someone new. However you decided to be cheeky and name yourself after him as well, and he has a geas set on his name in case anyone tries to do that very thing. He came in, changed your name, and tweaked the system. You then chose to fully modify your character's physical parameters and some cosmetic changes.

"Fully modify?"

Yes fully. That includes the 😏😏😉

Enough on that though. You can fully explore yourself later.

I then went on to explain how your first passive ability works. Gamer's mind. Functions roughly how you expect it to function just like the original, but tweaked. You'll start at 20% activation. Max of 100% makes you borderline robotic and is dangerous for long term development, so it has a safety feature to lower it back to 20% after 3 hours of inactivity. The reverse is a setting where it can't go below 7% activation. At 10% your mind will revert to how it was before you left the prime. The ADHD, the anxiety, all of it. At 20% your mind is perfectly balanced emotionally, chemically, the works, for a normal human.

Your second passive is Gamer's body. It functions just like Gamer's mind. 20% And you're an average human body, hair grows, you'll need sleep. Body parts can be lost. Tattoos can be gained etc. At 10% the alterations you made as well as the systems repairs will be reverted to how it was in the prime. Any physical gains made there will be permanent to that form. At 100% its a purely digital body, just like The Gamer.

Please use thus as a reminder to not invoke names of power. Even if it's a name that you think is just a character. I'm serious, the Prime has so much creation juice that you can accidentally pull almost anyone here if they are well enough known.

Now, for the rest of your body. Due to the nature of your unspoken wish and the custom system, your body has been optimized with a segmented magic core. This is both a physical and intangible core that can be further modified and added to as you grow. It will forever be a part of you in every iteration on each jump. It will make you capable of learning any power system you become across and filling in the necessary power until you can generate that power for yourself.

Combined with your modified Gamer's mind, you can learn new information and techniques that are properly developed almost immediately, and if they aren't fully optimized you'll be able to optimize them as long as you properly understand the theory.

Lookout Dumbledore. A power you understand not is coming your way. Next coming of Merlin my beard.

😑

Please don't invoke him again.

Oh 37 you know you love me. ❤️ Just remember, it could always be worse. Someone could mention a specific loud mo-

NOPE. NOT EVEN AS A JOKE.

Ahem.

Once you've filed away the theory in your mental library, you'll always know it. As long as you understand it, and move past it, the world is whatever you make of it.

Now, I think we've spent enough time getting to the good part. It's time to make your final wishes and start your adventure.

"I wish...."
