It took a while, but I was able to find some curtains? I am not sure if I saw these before, but I wrap them around me. I still don’t have a mirror, so I have no idea how I look but I did get a rough idea when I checked myself in the Garzala’s daggar….it was pretty scary.
I am about 80% slime. Although slimes are pretty weak, it gave me a pretty big advantage in terms of FP points. Remember how Slimes cost 1FP only as a guardian - following similar line of logic the base body as slime would technically also be very cheap. I chose slime as the base body and voila! I received 50FP!! I mean this in addition to the 95FP I had. If you had to really calculate how many points I had to spend on building my body it would be closer to 150. That means there were a lot of constraints of my body…
Coming back to my base body of a slime. 100% slime was no good, very weak…so for every 2% of slime content I reduced, my FP points were reduced by 1FP. So in effect I ended up gaining about 40FP from using a slime body.
I did make other additions as well. I needed some kind of skeleton to move around in. Moving using slime power was kind of creepy if not awkward. I do have bones of skeleton warrior other than that I have elf ears and a human’s *you know what* _ couldn't part with it. ...
I have some fly eyes (those gave me more FP too) though using them gives me a headache. To compensate, I also have a Cyclops eye in my chest (it’s not for those dirty ideas!)…..I am probably not going to be any good with a sword.
My vision to some extent is severely impaired but that’s because I also added tapetum lucidum…it’s the thing that makes a cat’s eye shine in the dark to see better in the dark. Again, this was a genius move; by taking smaller more important features it cost less than an entire unneeded organ.
Example: If I took the cat’s eye, it cost 0.5FP but by taking only tapetum lucidum it cost the same but I could use it across all my eyes.
The only limitation to making a new body was knowledge and imagination. I score slightly above on knowledge but very high on imagination - the overall result is not to bad.
I have a whole bunch of features from every creature…I think I went through hundreds of species and sub species…hybrids….to sum it up I am pretty sure I am very bad ass; just not human.
Oh yeah…Maylon woke up in between. She screamed again. She then fainted.
Although I want to do ecchi stuff, I think I will hold back. Right now there is terrible pain ringing throughout my body. The different parts of my body are trying to get used to each other.
But f*ck it hurts! ITS BURNING!!! I think it’s the acid in my body…damn slime body or the different parts having difficulty fusing with one another....but if it is the later I think it will be alright....I have no real basis for thinking this but I have a feeling.... I was indeed notified that using very different creatures parts or traits might result in extreme pain and rejection.....but I think I am past that stage.
*Sigh* Getting women with this body might be a bit difficult…I think it has more to do with morals and ethics. For now I decide not to cross that line of good and bad.
Maylon woke up again. She screamed. But I think it’s because one my cockroach antennas are sticking out. I stuff it back into my makeshift hood.
I think she is a bit more composed.
I think she has realized that I am not going to do any harm to her…dammit she fainted again.
I need to create a power but I need some guidance.
Time to wake someone up. I go over to the Abbe and slap him with my small hairy hand. They may seem a bit disproportionate…but that’s what a dwarf’s hand looks like (after you keep the wolf claws inside).
Abbe wakes up and shrieks a little before gather himself. “I apologize my master…you frightened me…”
I stay still. No sudden movements, I don’t want to scare them any further.
I think he finds it easier to look at me now that I am covered and he can’t see floating organs. I wouldn’t want to see me…I am not a pretty sight.
“I need you to tell me how to you did the light glowing finger…” I am slightly irritated now seeing my own guardians afraid of me.
“Yes…its basic magic…you gather mana from around you…and visualize the effect…” The Abbe hurriedly replied.
“Does mana have to come from my surroundings, can it not come from within?”
“Are you talking about ki?” The Abbe asks. “That comes from within…”
“…” I need to really think about the power I want to have at the start…
“Master…can you really use mana with that body?” The Abbe asks me cautiously.
“A little.” I reply while still in deep thought. I am after all mostly slime.
“Could you give me an example of a power somebody created?”
“Yes…for example you could create the power to control water…or air…”
“Any other example?”
“There have been adventurers who created strange powers like enveloping the vicinity in darkness or calling down meteorites…but those kind of powers come with stringent conditions…”
I think I get it now, make your power too powerful and the conditions will balance it out…make it too weak and there are fewer conditions needed to activate it…
I think I can work with this.
“I want to create a power.”
A panel appears before me.
“Anyone who I want to kill, dies.”
You are governed by the Law of Clarity. You must be clear about the rules you create.
That was just an experiment. I didn’t think that would work anyways. So there is something known as Law of Clarity.
“My power is being omniscient.”
You are governed by the Law of Fairness, Balance & Impossibility. Please create accompanying conditions.
So something like that won’t work either. Another law….what the heck is Law of Impossibility?
“I gain 1200 stats points every time I level up.”
I am just going the “dungeon no deai o motomeru no wa machigatte iru darou ka” manga style here.
You are governed by the Law of Fairness, Balance & Games. Please create accompanying conditions.
Another law discovered….the law of Games? Let’s try creating some conditions.
“I gain 500 stat points every time I focus on leveling up.”
You are governed by the Law of Fairness & Balance. Please create further accompanying conditions.
Good looks like I went around one law.
At this point, the Abbe disturbs me. “Master every 50 levels or so you can create new powers….”
This is too easy. Every 50 levels? If the Abbe could have seen my smile, he would have fainted.
“I gain 100 stat points every time I focus on leveling up.”
You are governed by the Law of Fairness & Balance. Please create further accompanying conditions.
Still no good.
“I gain additional stat points every time I focus on levelling up.”
Would you like to create this power? It will cost 100FP.
Based on your suggestions, we have identified a similar power? Would you like to create "Oukis Awesome" power?
It will cost 75FP.
Something new....so I guess someone has already thought of this....and given it a lame name. 'Ouki's Awesome'? Really that's the name of the power. Learning, I was vague but this worked. However, the cost is ridiculous even Ouki created his power for 75FP. I guess the power is ridiculous as well.
“I can move at the speed of light!”
You are governed by the Law of Impossibility. Please restate the power.
So the physics dynamics are similar to earth.
“I can move at the speed of sound!”
You are governed by the Law of Impossibility. Your body will be unable to withstand excess speeds.
Based on your suggestions, we have identified a similar power? Would you like to create "Flash Movement" power?
It will cost 35FP.
"No. I can steal powers of other players!"
You are governed by the Law of Fairness, Balance & Games. Please create accompanying conditions.
Based on your suggestions, we have identified a similar power? Would you like to create "Steal Deal" power?
It will cost 80FP.
"No..."
Sigh. This is tough....people have thought of every possible power haven't they...I want something unique for me...something clever...I wonder if this will work...
"I can change any blood into sand!"
You are governed by the Law of Information. You must provide detailed information how this power will work.
The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.
Argh so frustrating how many laws are there?
"Abbe, is there away to know what all command options are available when creating powers?"
"Yes, the command is 'Help Commands'."
"Help Commands!"
List Power: Will list powers similar to one suggested - applicable to basic powers and details will not be available.
Suggest Power: Will tweak power to match your requirements.
Detail Power: Will list details of powers created using random option.
Random Power: Will randomly create a power for you.
Exit Power Creation: Will exit power creation mode.
I should have tried this for body customization and guardian selection too....
"List Power - Elemental!"
Wind
Fire
Water
Earth
The basic elements only...hmmmm....
"I can manipulate Metals!"
You have selected an existing power. Would you like to create "Metal Mover" power?
It will cost 35FP.
So there are other elements....
"I can manipulate light!"
You have selected an existing power. Would you like to create "Light Manipulation" power?
It will cost 65FP.
And depending upon the element the cost varies....this feature is useful...I tried several other permutation and combinations before I felt satisfied. Unlike body customization; power customization had no time limit. However, there was no power that particularly stood out....For those wondering Sayan like powers were in excess of 100FP no matter how I tried.
....hmmm...let's try suggest.
"Suggest Power!"
Please list your requirements.
"The power to bend the heavens to my will."
Suggested power: Storm. Would you like to create this power? It will cost 11FP.
I see heavens means the weather here....then how about, "Power to shake the earth."
Suggested power: Great Quake. Would you like to create this power? It will cost 11FP.
Although I am trying elemental powers, the results I see are interesting.
"Power to conquer the seas."
Suggested power: Poseidon's will. Would you like to create this power? It will cost 11FP.
Last one... "The power to reign fear and terror across the masses."
Suggested power: Hell's Wrath. Would you like to create this power? It will cost 11FP.
The FP remains constant for basic elemental powers...how about we change the element to something more complex..."The power to crush the will of others to my desires."
Suggested power: Dominance. Would you like to create this power? It will cost 14FP.
I think I get it now. This should be the most OP power of them all...
"The power ...
to bend the heavens to my will,
to shake the earth,
to conquer the seas,
to reign fear and terror across the masses,
to bend the will of others to my desires,
to rule over all and everything."
If the lines sound too poetic blame Royal Road - I learnt those lines from a quest I solved in Royal Road. Anyhow, I had really been aiming for this all the while - dominance is something that I am already familiar with based on my Royal Road experience. Fingers crossed....please A.I.-san please understand what I mean.
Suggested power: Wave Controller. Would you like to create this power? It will cost 155FP.
Not bad! The power sounds interesting....I can see the possibilities...An all rounded elemental controller....interesting...yes I like this. I am familiar with this; unlike changing blood into sand or a power completely crazy and out of this world, this is something I understand. I wish I could see the details of this power but there doesn't seem to be a menu for it.
There is one slight problem! I only have 40FP!
"Abbe what do you think?"
"I do not understand the ability...however I do trust Lord but not these people. If his lord has willed it, then this is your destiny....even if it is something suggested by these people..."
He's speaking nonsense. I am going to ignore his advise pertaining to power creation.
Let's try, “My power is to control all waves only during the day.”
Would you like to create this power? It will cost 120FP.
I need a more stringent condition.
“My power is to control all waves only for 60 minutes of my choice.”
Would you like to create this power? It will cost 45FP.
5FP more.…
“Abbe, would it be possible to gamble now?”
The Abbe looks startled. “Yes…the one for FP?”
“I am willing to stake 40FP in return I only want 5FP.” I explained.
“Such a gamble does not exist.” The Abbe replied with his head lowered.
“Could you call the cricket?”
The abbe looks some what saddened but he obliges.
Instantly, the cricket appears in front of me. “Tell me boy what do you want?”
“I need 5FP more…” I mutter.
“Then just take the gamble we provide… It’s better than what you are offering or even better reduce the duration of your power…”
“Can’t we negotiate on this? I am willing to offer 40FP but I want a something with favourable odds…”
“The law of Gambling states that these are your options.”
Dammit looks like I have no option but to reduce the duration my power is active.
“My power is to control all waves only for a a limited time duration.”
Would you like to create this power? It will cost 40FP.
“Yes.” I decided to add an element of vagueness to my power. Going into the specifics could work against me as well. Some times its good to take a leap of faith.
Wave controller power created!
You have 0 FP points remaining
“Am I still needed here?” The bug asked.
Congratulations you chose guardians, created your own body, and your own power!
“No.”
With that the pest disappeared once again.
I look at the abbe, “What next?”
The room we stood in changed and I found myself facing a large revolving globe.
The Abbe presented me with a dart on a silver platter.
F*ck, I know where this is going.
“Master, please choose where we begin from.”
I suck at darts. Why is such a stupid method the basis for picking the starting location??
What the heck, maybe with this new body, I can do it…crap I am really not used to this body. I can barely hold on to the dart. This is difficult. Delicate movements are a problem for now.
Somehow I managed to throw the dart….it landed in a great empty region in the map…it was the ocean…
The dart reappeared on the silver platter.
“Master, it needs to be thrown on land.”
The globe was really rotating very slowly and right now there wasn’t much ocean….just a single huge continent.
Try 2! Go!
Congratulations you have landed on the Great Arid Desert!
NOOOO!!!
We were immediately warped into the middle of a desert.
I am a 80% slime which like saying I am 80% water and its over 50 degrees (Celsius) and sunny as hell here .
By the way did I mention I am partly vampire?
:gwake:
Next>>?
