>>96818370More like trashcyoa compactLMAO
>>96818370>tfw an anon used my CYOA for the OPThank you. It's a good feeling. We should have more 1-2 weeks to make an OC contests in the future. The Friday 17th one was pretty productive and gave the general something to look forward to outside of already planned releases.>>96818392I'm confident it'll release, eventually. If we don't see it by November though I'm losing hope.

When I make a CYOA I always make an additional page that I don't post.

>>96818448Correction I took Corpse King not Unstable Rifts
>>96818458I just know Sylen made an nsfw page for his vim cyoa>>96818448What's different?

I discuss CC without having ever read it.
>>96818502explains a lot about the last few threads
>>96818502shitposter-sama... I kneel...
>>96818489To give a little more detail the big change is taking Primordial Essence instead of Lost Legacy, with most other choices flowing from that. Also tried to be a bit more contained on the drawbacks as anons were right that it was a bit overboard (I had plans for all of them though)
>>96818469The secret NTR pages arent even a joke, he bragged about them over discord.
>>96818530That's absurd. Good thing anon's adventure is his own.
Merchant's Guile + Market Ticket is more than enough to easily become the master of Earth.
>>96818550someone tell gil
>>96818557If he's twisted enough to even think about something like that then he's too far gone. he would not care and double down instead, it may even make him post them.
Why do people care about gil again?He sounds like an asshole and the few cyoa's of his I have read were uninspired
>>96818585>peopleIt's just one obsessed loser who's been posting about him every day for years.
>>96818590Aro...
Explicitfag is right, if it isn't on the cyoa itself, then it doesn't exist. Hidden pages and shitposts on discord or reddit be damned.
>>96818556>the master of Earthyou are correct, but that's not really an achievement anon
>>96818556Yea, it really is strong.
>>96818599Even a broke clock, as they say.
>>96818556Hmm, maybe but it'd take a long time if you didn't want to burn a bunch of bridges and gain a reputation of a swindler that might cause problems if you tried to move beyond Earth. I'd toss in Auxilliary Master, Lost Legacy, or at least Stores Of Wealth plus Extradimensional Library so you have capital and a reasonable means to put it to use. Also Mastermind's unbreakable contracts would be a huge boon.That's why I took all those things plus the two you mentioned.
>>96818556Add Deceitful Trickster, Jade Beauty and Mastermind and you're really cooking with gas.
>>96818599>he doesent knowgil hides this shit in his cyoa all the times
https://imgchest.com/p/ej7ma89w97d
I didn't take the Market Ticket nor the Library Key because I think it would definitely be more fun to just find those during your adventures. Besides getting two more free blessigs is also good.
>>96818609>Even a broke clock, as they say.has no money?
>>96818399Karmic Shopping List>Methods:Stone-Titan Ascent, Heavenly Celestial Scrolls>Blessings:Heaven-Blessed, Peerless Prodigy, Seventh Sense, Iron Will, Perfect ConduitImperial Ancestry, Jade Beauty, Warhound, Elemental Roots (Duality), Innovative, Deceitful Trickster, Communication Expert, Mastermind, Right To Rule, Lowly Junior>Treasures:Stores of Wealth, Totem of Rebirth, Condensation Array, Pocket Dimension, Extradimensional Library>Grand Inheritances:Karmic Alignment>Companions:Iska, Lyra>Events:Corpse King, The Creeping Rot, Treasure Hunt, The Cannibal, Profundity In Violence>Complications:Deviated Form, Valuable, Incursion, Parasite, Fated Nemesis (Cassian), Youthful, Finger-Licking Good, Minotaur's Lair, Courting Death, Fading Away, PossessionIt is a challenge build that attempts to make the best out of the weakest GI that isn't boring. Every choice matters and works to reinforce the theme (Fading Away makes me embody Duality of Transience and Eternity, for example), but I'm simply too tired and busy to properly finish it (and no one will read it anyway). Oh well, so be it. I plan to unfuck the world and shape new society into something better than your standard xianxia shithole, but it's also not pure altruism as I'll use karmic boost from saving the world to empower myself, yadda yadda.
>>96818642Based moralchad
>>96818634I don't care about gil and his shitty cyoas, I was making a larger point. I don't know what possesses you to keep talking about that fag.
>>96818650Please understand, he cannot stop thinking about gil's cock. He is completely obsessed with it, to the point where he projects that everywhere. It is a terrible sickness.
>>96818399how do you access the Sea of souls? and does lowly junior work on spirits?
>>96818637That's kind of a good point. It's makes a better story and with Heaven Blessed or Marie Su you will get them eventually.
>>96818642>only 1 (one) Grand Inheritance ngmi
>>96818642I would argue that verdant sheaves would make helping others much easier, but extremely based build either way anon
>>96818670I think Lowly Junior works on everything, actually. Doesn't it? Also nta
https://imgchest.com/p/md7oj882yp6
>>96818707why the fuck don't you post the cyoa? its literally 3 pages
>>96818707At least post the first page so people know what they're clicking into. You fags are getting more and more lazy. Eventually there will no cyoas posted itts only shitposts and powerfagging.
>>96818637The question is do we know OF the market and library. Simply knowing of them has significantly changed the meta compared to v1
>>96818741If you have enough luck and protagonist aura or hero's journey, it literally doesn't matter. You will stumble upon them eventually
>>96818707Strike down the heretic!https://imgchest.com/p/lqyegj3aq7d
Where's the evidence that you only need to bring a small amount of blood with you into the cum cocoon in order to make Skin Shedding work? Did rake make a another reddit post?
>>96818773
>>96818778You have to bring whatever you plan to absorb into your body with you into the womb of rebirth.
>>96818677>>96818758I don't know. It says all the items are from off world and you are unlikely to encounter more.
>>96818585He made reddit seethe to an ungodly degree with several of his cyoas
>>96818806It's not that big of a deal when his cyoas are made specifically for that. Someone that made reddit seethe without meaning to would be noteworthy.
>>96818399Rake kind of sucks at making cyoas but the framework is usually pretty good
>>96818806Redditvirgins cannot handle based NTRkino?

>>96818885In the past, by definition. The golden age is never "now".
>>96818885Now
>>96818884It's made by mcyoag for multiplayer, so the idea is that other anons make the rest of the crew. I am surprised it made it here.
>>96818907you contrarian fuck
Where is that guy that had OC? Discussion is clearly not alive enough to warrant waiting anymore.
>>96818885When we make it happen, and that's right now!
>>96818885i don't what to experience the eclipse again
>>96818915Don't listen, its a trap
>>96818915I bet he's in a strange timezone and will post around evening wherever he's at.
>>96818926This mindset is why we don't get OC. Shitposting is constant, you can't avoid it, and CC is not being discussed, it's being shitposted about.
>>96818930This. It's not a timezone you can find on the maps. It's one of the strange ones, with with initiates and no experts. I have been there, but remember nothing. Beware
Elf-Sama, shouldnt you be updating your build to include a bow and the Sword-Singing Method? We all know your kind cant help but burst into rhyme and song.
>>96818920for some reason the little speech on why the king is obeyed at the start of the Scepter description left a lasting impression on my mind, once in a while i think about it.
>>96818962I think it's the use of a diacope (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diacope) that makes it feel like an actual (as in famous) quote.
>>96818919>he says, posting a shit cyoa
Heavenly celestial scrolls is objectively the best method and if u dont pick it you are a jobber.
>>96818949New methods had me abandon the Elf concept. I kinda miss the shit posting my build caused though
>>96818478>I just know Sylen made an nsfw page for his vim cyoaThere is none.
>>96818999What if it's not
>>96818991Interesting anon, very interesting
>>96819002Whats the new build?
>>96819010Its the only method that allows you to attack spirits and it boosts your efficiency. You also get undead control and can pacify your opponents and control spirits. And thats only part of its benefits, if u dont take it you will job
>>96818919The challenge was fun enough that I might just go for another cyoa after that. I already have the ideas for it.
>>96819018This one >>96818448 and Golden Golem

>>96819002>abandon the Elf concept:(
>>96819078Yea it is.
>>96819101Prepare you anus
>>96818919Nice concept in theory, in practice being told that there's definitely heaven and hell and asking me to take actions that send me to hell just makes me spend the 1 point (lifeforce) and that's it?
>>96819122Sticking your dick in a rock; unwise.

>>96818399Heavenly Lunar EmperorWell since this is a xianxia setting I found it fitting to actually do a generic emperor with a few twists>Method: Heavenly Celestial Scrolls, Eternal Frost PagesAs a virtuous spiritual emperor, I will focus on the phases of the moon as the main cultivation method, with a ice and time focus and dual cultivation of Yin and Yang energies.>Blessing: Heaven Blessed, Imperial Ancestry, Jade Beauty, Communication Expert, Mastermind, Right to Rule, Purebred, DreamwalkingStandard useful blessings for a would be future Heavenly Sect head. Social blessings are obvious, Purebred is to create a proper clan and Dreamwalking is to engage with the spiritual side of cultivation. Ignore Mastermind over here, it's not something a virtous emperor would use.>Gift: Golden Vessel, Stores of Wealth, Market Ticket, Celestial Orrery, Miniature PagodaUseful gifts to get a proper dynasty going
>>96819549>Grand Inheritance: Perfect GuardianThe True focus of the build is to create a Duality cultivation, my guardian will be a sun focused fire Queen, constrasting the moral and calculating emperor with burning determination and aggresion. The muscle and main enforcer of the duo.>Karmic AlingmentOn the front I will be a vituos devanic emperor, a paragon for all would be heavenly followers. However, when the phases of the moon change, the demonic eclipse emperor will do acts unthinkable of the main face, an intimidating manipulative demon who will be sun focused and crush enemies from the shadowes. Just as I change, the queen will be a moon focused sound focused stealh supporter in this state.>Unbound CausalityThe ability to control time on a greater scale, for whenever the dual nature of the Emperor ius found out and to chart the best step towards victory. >Companions: Urul, The Clever; Iska, The AmalgamationA master strategist and a spirit companion to enhance both the physical side and the spiritual side of the sect>Events: Place of Power, The Cannibal, Passing Through, Stepford Village, Wandering Temple>Misfortunes: Fated Nemesis (Akua, the Demon), Pseudo-Fallen, Incursion, Empathetic, Minotaur's Lair, Courting Death, Saving Face, Vengeful TribulationsThe fated namesis is expected but the true purpose will be to win Akua to my side eventually.

>>96820461you just helicopter into mordor, become a mage, then become supermanit's not impossible to do the missions at all, it's just impossible to enjoy the worlds while you're doing them
>>96820461Only by first impression. The cyoa is staggeringly easy if you know what the options actually entail.
>>96820483>The cyoa is staggeringly easy if you know what the options actually entail.Only if you have a Panglossian perspective on what you're purchasing, e.g.,>>96820274>Powers: Ultimate Talent x2 (Psychologist, Sociologist)>Barely distinguishable from mind control.
>>96820507Or I suppose if you buy some anime's stupid powersystem that only works on plot contrivance, and decree that the plot will contrive to your advantage.
>>96820507my progression was (helicopter with lots of training and some minor magical shit = lord of the rings solved) -> (nwod mage + a bunch of different trainings = dany and her dragons mind-controlled) -> (mage abilities + many hours of mage training + my old combat helicopter = elden ring solved) -> (i get kryptonian now and dunk on skyrim trivially) -> (i get all four of the broad immunity things and go play around in scp) -> (i turn into the most powerful version of a kryptonian as a victory lap and go back to earth)
>>96820507What is the result of two manipulative Ultimate Talents if not basically mind control?
>>96820518i don't think there were any real contrivances in my build here >>96820557the tightest and most dangerous part is probably renalla and radagon/elden beast in elden ring since those happen in turtled up dimensions where blasting them with a helicopter is not as viable as most of the other bosses, but wod mage abilities are just really fucking good, especially if you're trained by a master, so you can probably involve hellfire missiles in those fights anyway
>>96820339>>96820379...why do you have 5 Methods? Only thing the gives an extra Method is the Heavenly Conquerer Foundation.
>>96820608Cheating, duh.
>>96820608so that >>96820350 can happen, obviously, he's being a good little drone for heaven daddy
>>96820613Might not be cheating, at least not intentionally. I think they might have goofed on the Complications page and overlooked the fact that Methods and Events are the two things you can't get more of with Complications.
>>96820350I see I misread that Misfortunes and Maledictions can't grant methods, >>96820339so the last two will just be goals to learn eventually. Substituting for the following >>Blessings>Innovative .learning efficiency must be maximized >Iron Will .a will of iron can still be yet refined further, stronger elements can and will be achieved I'll do a full re-post next thread
>>96820625>>96820608>>96820613>>96820628I did indeed fail to read what extras, and presumed it was all of them
>>96820634I feel that. It hurts a little when you make a fun build, then realize you misread something.
I have developed 21 different secondary powers. They are not the official power that you use in the CYOA for combat that entirely unique to yourself, but something in-universe that anyone like yourself can learn to use with immense effort put in. What is a good stopping point for a number of secondary powers because I feel like I can keep going due to how wide the power-system is and can be. Example powers include something like nourishment where you use the power-system to provide for nutrition and hydration by continuously siphoning off your energy to your body, so you can skip having to eat or drink in emergencies. Another where you enhance the quality of materials to their max potential using your energy; a blunt object is blunter and denser / a bladed object is sharper and never dulls. To a another power that lets you gift a specific amount of your energy/power to another person (who doesn't even have traditional access to the power-system) so they can have access to the secondary powers and be like a minion, etc.
>>96820643It's probably better that way actually, gives more character growth goals, since Oversoul still would know how to get there eventually. But I appreciate the sympathy!
>>96820646i'd think of it in a conceptual wayif you have all three or four typical forms of mind control down, then you don't need any more mind control powers, if you have the three distinct types of teleportation then you don't need any more teleportations, etc.this also reminds you to include all of the power concepts that should be included and exclude the ones that shouldn't
>>96820557>my progression was (helicopter with lots of training and some minor magical shit = lord of the rings solvedYou can't purchase Invictus without a B rank power available, so you're just corrupted by the ring, fission mailed.(Other problems apart from that - fell beast diving into the rotors, only a few helicopters have the necessary range to make the journey and you don't know what you're getting. And that's for a mission that's mostly just "take item from point A to point B.")
>>96820658i don't put on the ring, dummy, besides that i already had improved willpower and clarity of mind on the first mission, along with i think something else? anyway, it's not a problemi also looked up helicopter ranges when making the build and concluded it's acceptable
>>96820646I'd recommend to stop at around 25 or maybe 30. However many you can fit and feel add something worthwhile to the CYOA and its lore.
>>96820592>What is the result of two manipulative Ultimate Talents if not basically mind control?Firstly, a good ability at identifying and helping people work through their past traumas and other mental problems over the course of weeks to months, and secondly, at examining the origins of and perhaps even predicting future social trends. Ultimate Talent gives you a lifetime's skill in a profession, with some slightly supernatural benefit on top of that. Real psychologists and sociologists are not in fact master manipulators, not even ones who have been at it for a long time.
>>96818919I don't think that the Earthly Blur works at all. The whole point of Devil Down The Line is a malicious narrator who wants to secure your damnation among other heinous things, so it makes sense for him to completely make up abilities that he does not have with some plausible deniability so that "using" them will lead you further down his desired path. This is normally in bad form, in fact, the worst of it, but the whole CYOA is a trap option anyway. It's something to read more than play. We also know that the narrator is not really able to control someone's place in the afterlife, that's why he wants you to morally break the Priest without killing him, even though the deal between them supposedly guarantees his damnation. This is all evidence that divine justice cannot be perverted by a piece of paper, the Priest repented after selling his soul, so he makes it. A sinner who repents after buying Earthly Blur makes it. A saint who falls after the same is condemned to Hell.
>>96820668>i already had improved willpower and clarity of mind on the first mission, along with i think something else? anyway, it's not a problemIs that available elsewhere? It didn't jump out at me.You don't have to wear the ring for it to corrupt you, regardless, e.g. Sméagol killing Deagol at the mere sight of it. But yes, "oh, it's not a problem" is indeed the kind of viewpoint the CYOA seems to demand.
>>96820683He does never actually mention the afterlife in the description
>>96820728alterations are just "examples", it's why i also took shit like "helicopter enginer and pilot" and "winderness warrior and guerilla" as trainingsi now remembered i also had the peach of immortality as my most expensive first phase purchase, so i could survive a helicopter crash and hoof it into mordor regardless>"oh, it's not a problem"it's not that different to the viewpoint where you just ignore the solutions that you were already given, is it?
>>96820742>alterations are just "examples", it's why i also took shit like "helicopter enginer and pilot" and "winderness warrior and guerilla" as trainingsAh, you based it on Augments? Latter two certainly qualify, but if you set yourself up to get iron will under its auspice, I don't think it meets the criteria, which says "physical improvements and mundane knowledge" - resisting the corruptive influence of the Dark Lord's ring is neither. (Though specific listed examples also went beyond that - the 'improved focus' benefit of Clarity of Mind is also neither thing.)Anyway, I'm not going to argue about it anymore, experience tells that quarreling over whether someone's build can plausibly do what they say it does is never productive in any way. My only real original point was that I find the tasks to be very far-fetched within the timeframes/powers allotted, for reasons like what I've stated. If you think on the other hand that you can pull them off, more power to you.
>>96820780improved willpower isn't a supernatural thing, and you can see characters in the story resisting the ring, don't act as if this is some impossible task, you could in theory succeed at the entire scenario without any purchases, it would just be very unlikely, so obviously by stacking the odds with amazing toys, alterations, and magic items it's eventually solved
>>96820657There are three different ways to mind control someone?
>>96820819you can directly puppet someone's body, with the original mind unconscious or conscious as two different subvariants ("why am i doing this, my body is moving on its own!?")you can directly puppet someone's thoughts by inserting your own at strategic points and have them act on them as if they're naturalyou can make someone incapable of not following your verbal or otherwise externally-administered ordersyou can change someone's memories and personality until they do what you want as if that was what they were going to do all along ("i am actually just pretending the sky is green, but i was always going do that!")you can change someone's perceptions until they only think they're doing what they always would have except in reality they're doing something you want ("the sky actually is green, i can see its green color right now!")you can instill reward and punishment responses into someone until they train themselves to obey youetc. etc. etc.
I imagine the personality and intelligence of the Possession drawback's spirit as a pissed off and terrified feral cat. How accurate do you think that is?
>>96820891It's genuinely and explicitly retarded
>>96820907That doesn't really answer the question...
>>96820908Sorry anon. I think you're probably right.
>>96818399my fifth build now, and this one built up much more of a personality as I wrote, of a distinctly religious flavor>Methods:>All-Consuming Inferno Tablets>Thousand Venoms Texts>Sword-Singing SermonFire, aspect of Consumption. Toxin, aspect of Deconstruction. Blade, aspect of Separation. I am Entropy Inevitable.>Blessings:>Weapon God Physique (Blade)My body Becomes the continuous Cutting motion, the Foundation of that which Splits in twain.>WarhoundDeath, Agent of living Entropy, can either be Quick and painless, or a persistent Agony. I am empowered to Enact either, and each execution improves my Methods.>Iron WillWhat is pain to universal Decay? What is mental Control to the inevitability that all will be Unbound? Even the exotic cannot stand against the End.>Elemental Roots (Entropy)I am become Disintegration, the Herald of the Fate of All: Not even RE, Qi, whatever it may be called, can fully prevent the Heat Death.>InnovativeMy Methods three are a primitive, Prototypical genesis of something Primordial; a Triad of Aspects attempting to interpret and imitate something impossibly Greater. With time, I will refine these into something more Pure, but it will take countless lifetimes to Embody the Truth.>False DeathI could not have begun to commune with Entropy had I not first felt its brittle grasp, tasted its cloying breath. I have been Reborn an Agent, and I gleefully rise to Task.>Treasures:>Spirit LanternA true Entropic flame that burns the chaff that surrounds True reality, which it is not powerful enough to destroy. Lies, being Kin to the flame in directly deconstructing the Truth, shine as bright as it.>Training ArrayA mere taste of what is to come if I am to pursue my Task. If I wish to expedite the End, training is valuable: to Hone my Blade, Refine my Toxins, and Feed my Flame.
>>96820919>Omni-CompassLike a Blade, this needle Cuts the gordian knot that is Reality and points directly at what is needed, without the convolutions of Life to Blind it.>Berserker PillsWith the right materials, I can Deepen my connection to the Law I follow, Enhancing my ability to Destroy, at the cost of Destroying myself.>Lotus BombI found this Bloom within my mouth as I Reawakened, a direct Gift of pure Entropy. A Totem as much as a Last resort, I may crush its fragile Petals to establish a Direct connection to my Law Above All, hollowing me out to Reduce my surroundings to a Pale reflection of the End. >Grand Inheritances:>Heavenly Conqueror FoundationI have opened my Soul to Entropy and let it Guide my hands. Tribulations are Nothing but another instance of Entropy testing my Resolve, and I rise to Embrace it with my Entirety.>OversoulEntropy is not a Law that has meaningful Consciousness, even less so than the Force that guides Tribulations… and yet, I have Felt a Presence within me, an unprecedented Incarnation of a Foundation of Reality, my Law Above All coalesced inside my Soul. With such a Primordial Mentor, I shall Grow at an unprecedented pace.>Void BodyI may Focus Entropy, but it cannot by Principle be Contained, and as such leaks into Reality around me, Consuming, Deconstructing, and Separating the Energy that suffuses the World from its users. With effort, I can Redirect the Energy affected this way unto my Allies, but I cannot partake myself, as anything Removed by my Aura is directly Claimed by Entropy as soon as it comes into contact with my body.
>>96820923>Companions:>AliceTo be touched by Entropy and come out the other side Alive, and with Sanity intact? She is powerful in ways she does not understand, and I will teach her, show her the Truth of my Law Above All, develop her singular talents for Pain, aspect of Corruption. She believes she is Connected to me, but I will correct her view; redirecting her Devotion to Entropy proper, together we shall usher in the End.>Wandering SwordsmanShe is on her way to Truly understanding Separation, but she Focuses too much on her Blade, and not on the Act of Cutting. I will encourage her to Embrace her Power, her Role; Just as I am Agent of Entropy, she will become Agent of Separation, in time surpassing even I in that singular, Pure aspect.>Events:>The Creeping RotThese cultists do not fully Understand what they Commune with; they are too Fascinated by Fungi, when it is just a mere depiction of Rot, aspect of Decay. I will subtly aid their plans, and when their Ritual is to commence, I will join in and Transform it into a True Calling of my Law Above All, and add this Wayward aspect to my repertoire.>Corrupted ZoneThe perfect Tribulation for Alice, to Purify her aspect and Truly grasp at Corruption. I will aid her when necessary, but it will be up to her to Ascend and Claim this deluded Fallen’s Power for herself, and Grow ever closer to Entropy.>The HordeToo much Death at once has clogged the Natural Processes of Entropy on Earth, with those who could not be properly released in Death finding themselves in a Hollow half-life, and severely unbalancing the Scales. Wherever I shall find them, I will release these poor Mortals into the Calm embrace of True Entropy, balancing the World all the while.
>>96820928>Profundity in ViolenceThe Cataclysm wreaked Destruction everywhere it could, spreading Entropy in magnitudes unprecedented. In places where the Land was reduced to near Nothingness, I will Meditate on the aspects expressed… and there is no shortage of such places on Earth.>Complications:>Fated Nemesis (Marie Su)This one has managed to escape Entropy far too often, even for one of her Caliber. I am to be her Counterweight, Balancing the Equation as we both Ascend. The Law would not see her Destroyed, as such a Nexus would only reappear soon enough, and likely in a Plane unreachable from this one, at least for a Lifetime or two.>Deviated FormMy Devotion have taken Toll upon my body, even if I do not Suffer from the effects; my skin is a Tapestry of scarred Cuts, charred and Consumed flesh, and features Deconstructed by acid.>Pseudo-FallenMy remaining mortal instincts Rebel against the End I embrace. In time, I will tame these Primal thoughts, as they too are a lingering facet of Entropy, though one annoyingly Persistent in its ape-like Recklessness.>Malevolent AuraIt is not hard to sense the Law I embrace, and as it is Antithetical to the worldview of most Mortals, they distrust and Hate me; Perhaps it is Rightful when I once was Human as well, but I care not now, when I feel the Power and Role I was Blessed with.>Uninhibited PowerI do not control Entropy, only Channel it, and it has no perception of Scale, being the universal Constant it is. If I truly wish, I can tighten the Flow, but why would I wish to Bind my Law Above All, when its Power is Endless Beauty?.>DoomsayerFate, in its ceaseless, pointless Conflict against the End, inevitably knew of my Coming, or at least of a Forming of an Entropic Nexus, just as it has a Nexus of its own. It warns of me, but we all know that Ending me would not Remove the Threat.
>>96820680Isn't Junko essentially able to predict the future because of her Ultimate Fashionista talent? She's also a hyper mastermind evil genius who's able to manipulate everyone around her. This is all extrapolated from a talent that allows one to predict fashion trends, which allows them to predict trends in general, which allows them predict what people are going to do and make genius plans taking advantage of that. Whatever that anon is putting forward is actually not that far fetched. By understanding the human psyche to a supernatural level it stands to reason that you're also able to manipulate people. The same applies to sociology.
>>96820780>Ah, you based it on Augments? Latter two certainly qualify, but if you set yourself up to get iron will under its auspice, I don't think it meets the criteria, which says "physical improvements and mundane knowledge" - resisting the corruptive influence of the Dark Lord's ring is neither.

>>96820942Can it?
>>96820944I... I don't know...
>>96820945Me either.
>>96820942>>96820944Maybe it can, maybe it can'the's certainly up his own ass enough in his personal religion that he seems to think sobut at the same time, his rivalry against Marie as an avatar/Nexus of Fate being intentionally perpetual doesn't seem to align with that view, so who's to say?
>>96820919>filth buildFascinating
>>96820944The heat death relates to a potential end state of the universe that only applies due to universal expansion, though it could also apply to a static flat universe. Cataclysmic Cultivation however has all the different worlds being connected through the Sea of Souls, which is chaotic and its nature unclear. Heat death may not apply.
>>96820954Is it even technically a multiverse then? It's more like one big universe divided up into different slices.
>>96820954God I hate all cosmology brainlets and their assumptions of naturalism and isotropism.
>>96820953filth how?
>>96820964at some point when involving infinities that becomes a meaningless distinction
>>96820976It's not an infinity, it's just really, really, really big.
>>96820973I meant to type fifth, my apologies, it's very late.
>>96820964That just gets into semantics of how you define universe. Technically the word was meant to mean everything that exists, and so the concept of a multiverse itself is against the definition of universe. There are multiple worlds, I don't think it matters much if you want to refer to them as universes as part of a multiverse or just individual worlds that are part of a larger universe.
>>96820977it might be infinite, so that's also a meaningless distinction
>>96820980>>96820953i mean i have four for the new version and seven for the old onei don't put this cyoa in my top ten either
>>96820985Maybe the Sea is, but the worlds aren't
>>96820987>i don't put this cyoa in my top ten eitherI shudder to think of how much writefagging this anon has done for what he considers his favourites
>>96820980fair enoughbut yeah this one took significantly longer to writefag for, at least until I got the religious vibe of himI had a couple aborted builds as well that died because they didn't have enough of a coherent/cohesive character to them to make writefagging satisfying
>>96820988no, the worlds could also be infinite in number
>>96820994They explicitly are not
>>96820992current largest 28 txt files of 544
>>96820992still not top ten, but have an example of a cyoa that required so much writefagging that I had to make an image build for it because it'd take up too much space otherwiseword of warning, it is for a trash cyoa, but the image build itself is safe beyond the names of certain choiceshttps://files.catbox.moe/44c46n.jpgit's nearly 6000 words long
>>96821003>uncountablethey explicitly could be
>>96820994The cyoa says millions, if not uncountable billions. Mind you while those planes of existence, as the cyoa calls them, are of a limited number, they might not be finite in size. Or they might only be of a finite number currently and can be brought forth and collapse into the Sea of Souls, and thus over time their might be an infinite number of them.
>>96821011>6k words>only 1.5kb of raw txtliteral baby tier
>>96821016they might also be infinite in number right now
>>96821020Saying they are uncountable, but also saying billions suggests a number below a trillion but that it isn't possible to count them. Maybe someone at the absolute peak of power by the time they have gotten through half of them the number has changed.
>>96820944Well I assume it can as you start generating RE ex nihilo at one stage and from RE you can create more of regular energy thus preventing heat death
>>96821023anon the wording is clearly implying there are no known or real upper bounds
>>96821025But what if the Void is doing the opposite and shoving your gains ad nihilo?
>>96821025Stage 7 does suggest you can produce it on your own without any external source.
>>96821017eh, fair enough
>>96821032it's okay, i made a mistake and divided by four when i should have multiplied, so you're more like at 24kbthat's still like one of my smaller builds where i actually bother to write stuff to be fair, if i actually like it it's going to baloon past that really fucking fast

>>96821029But does the void even destroy RE? It's described as a black hole so it doesn't actually destroy energy from the system
>>96821040>the systemDo you think this is one of your litrpgs son
>>96821040It's not necessarily the void as in Void Body. You just have an example of RE being created from nothing, that doesn't mean it can't be turned back into nothing, in fact it kind of implies that the reverse is also somehow possible.
>>96821043Do you think that's the only thing that "system" refers to? The word has other uses.

mfs be making build after build after buildthese build lists are fraudulent scams
>>96821143it's a fun hobby, and it gets interesting when you realize how much better some builds turn out through nothing but chance sometimes, most of them are mediocre, but a few of them are really soulful fantasies that i would place above even favorite books or movies
