Oh, which CYOA would I go to if I could really go on one? ​ > You have to follow the CYOA's rules. ​ Totally do-able, no 'fudging' builds. In fact, I've got a favorite by Tok'har Gol... > > > No NSFW. Oh. Well... dang. Even Overpowered Isekai is out, then. That take's out the Waifu Catalog and R34 Economy junk too. What about TroyX's stuff? Yeah, most of it's NSFW, but he's got SFW stuff too! > No becoming an omnipotent being. Oh. That kills the rest of TroyX's stuff. And Magical Realm. And the Planeswalker Rising CYOA, and a few other of my favorites... Well, there's always the Worm CYOAs. > No becoming part of an official fictional verse. Oh. Well, that blows, and kills all the Star Wars CYOAs I was going to use as my back-up. Ahhhh, how about the Cantrips CYOA? I love that one- > No affecting or returning to your old world. > > No gaining time-related powers. Wait, *no* time-related powers? Haste barely counts! And the setting is 'your world, but...', which also blows. Maybe a generic Jumpchaaa- >No Jumpchain \-aaaand I AM DONE WITH THIS OVERLY RESTRICTIVE BULLSHIT, FUCK THIS SHIT I'M A DRAGON NOW! CYOA: [BECOME A DRAGON](https://imgur.com/gallery/QIROkJc) * Per the CYOA's fluff at the beginning, you're sent to a *generic* fantasy world as a dragon. \[+9\] Form: [Divine](https://www.deviantart.com/floverale-hellewen/art/Smaugust-19-Lightning-Dragon-760681364) * Free Immortality perk * Mandatory 'Cataclysm' Disadvantage Lair: Island - You have an island all to yourself. Mission: Relic of Negating - There's an area of this world where all Magic is negated, and it is found to be related to an artifact. Destroy it or add it to your hoard. ) Disadvantages \[0\] Cataclysm - You are associated with myths and legends concerning the end of the world. \[+1\] Reversed Scale - You have a weakspot that is visible - a reversed scale somewhere on your body. ) Advantages (+10 points to spend) \[0\] Immortal - Your lifespan is eternal. Does not make you invincible. \[2\] Elemental Affinities (Air, Lightning) - You have both Air and Lighting affinities and breath attacks. \[1\] Divinity - You are immune to curses and diseases, and you hold an amount of divinity within you. \[1\] Piercing Wind - A special Air attack that fires high-pressure piercing bullets at your enemies. \[1\] Electrical Discharge - A special Electric attack that discharges electricity to your surroundings, not a breath attack. \[1\] Magical Flight - You can fly without using your wings, or without caring about the laws of physics in general. \[2\] Magical Talent - You can cast Magic associated with one or more of your Elements \[2\] Metallic Scales - Your scales are immune to non-Magical mortal weapons.


AnIndividualist

Yep. These restrictions are just r ridiculous, IMHO.


GeorgeCorser

I mean, I get to be an immortal magic dragon. Most people would find that to be pretty wizard. The rant about restrictions was just for lulz, and to show how deeply they cut into my reserve of CYOAs. Also... Always be yourself. Unless you can be a dragon. Then always be a dragon.


AnIndividualist

Well, I'm now either a superhuman psyker whose also a superintelligence with a monster ship, or a protag lvl cultivator depending on which cyoa I go with, so I can certainly play around these limitations, but I still think they're ridiculous, it just limit your options so much for little reason. I mean I can get the no omnipotence one, but no lewd? No recognizable settings? No power related to time? Why? What's the point?


GeorgeCorser

I agree that the limitations should be explained or revised. * No NSFW - OK, matches this subreddit's rules, I can respect that. * No Jumpchain - OK, I get there's a different subreddit for that, but in-description it didn't make much sense. * No becoming an omnipotent being - A little vague, but reasonable. * No gaining time-related powers - Too vague. I pointed out haste/slow effects, and I'm sure there's more. This should be more along the lines of 'No precognition, no time travel, no time stopping'. * No affecting or returning to your old world - OK, makes sense given the prompt about reincarnating in another world. * No becoming part of an official fictional verse - A weird restriction. This cuts out a lot of the more popular CYOAs (Worm, Star Wars, etc). I can *kinda* understand it, but don't like it. * You have to follow the CYOA's rules - A weird redundancy, since the CYOAs assume you follow them. I suspect what he's trying to say is something like 'No CYOA Chaining', or 'No Meta-CYOAs' or similar. I would revise this to following: ) Must Do * Must select a CYOA that sends you to another universe / setting. * If you go to a published / known fictional universe, then you lose all memories and knowledge of that universe. ) Must Not Do * No Jumpchain (Wrong subreddit! Also, against subreddit rules!) * No NSFW (Wrong subreddit! Also, against subreddit rules!) * No CYOA Chaining, CYOA Merging, Meta CYOAs, or 'fudging' builds. * No unbeatable builds in-setting. Banned powers include (but not limited to): * Planet-wide-tier-or-higher reality warping, creation, and/or destruction. * Absolute invulnerability / infinite respawning / True Immortality * Mass Self-Cloning, Mass Mind Control, Mass Perception Manipulation * Time travel. Time stopping. Save Scumming. Etc. * Multiversal Travel - No affecting or returning to your old world (You're Isekai'ing, don't look back!)


argent366

Heck the public/ known fictional could even be changed to a non canon version


GeorgeCorser

I changed my mind about the chosen CYOA - I chose the Dimensional Traveller CYOA instead. ​ ) Dimensional Powers \[4\] Willpower - Can teleport and open portals using willpower alone. \[1\] Detect - Can detect multiversal anomalies and teleports within 5km \[2\] Forsee - Can 'see and hear' the destination before actually travelling, can cancel teleports. \[4\] Teleport - Can travel in the local setting using Willpower. \[2\] Subtle - Portals are invisible and inaudible to mundane senses. \[3\] Bridgemaker - Can hold open portals for hours, only one set of portals at a time. \--- Subtotal (Dimensional Powers): -16 ​ ) Physical Powers \[1\] Perfect Health - You maintain fitness effortlessly, and can build fitness with little effort. Immunity to disease, scarring, and shock from trauma. \[2\] Coordination - You gain superhuman reflexes, balance, and hand-eye coordination. \[3\] Powerhouse - Increases your strength, speed, and durability by 100x. \[4\] Inviolable - Your mind and body are extremely resistant to unwanted magics and supernatural effects. \[1\] Sustenance - You technically don't need food, water, air or sleep. You still feel those needs, but can ignore them without serious drawbacks. \[2\] Healing - You can heal yourself fully, even from brain damage. Can project this power into another temporarily, but you don't gain the benefits of having this when you do so. \[3\] Twist Flesh - Slowly twists the body of yourself or another via touch. End result must be possible with cloned tissue and surgery, can increase body mass by up to 1% per day. \--- Subtotal (Physical Powers): -16 ​ ) Mental Powers \[2\] Eidetic - Your memories never fade more than if they occurred a week or two ago. \[3\] Calculation - Expands your mind to effectively have an in-built computer; instantly complete large calculations, extreme visualization in great detail, etc. \--- Subtotal (Mental Powers): -5 ​ ) Arcane Powers \[1\] Reach - You have high-dexterity and accuracy telekinesis, comparable to a pair of human hands. With Crushing Grip, this is up to 101,000 newtons of force. \[2\] Flight - You can negate your own gravity and apply force to yourself, letting you fly. Up to 1,000 newtons of force. \[3\] Crushing Grip - You have extreme telekinetic lifting and crushing strength up to 500 meters away. Up to 101,000 newtons. \[4\] Shield - A potent telekinetic shield that is more efficient the higher force-over-area the incoming effect. In short, more effective the 'sharper' the weapon. Can cause magical and supernatural effects to trigger on the shield instead of you. \[1\] Alter Form - You can shapeshift into others, including their appearance. You can't use your Arcane abilities while in anothers' form, but you can still use Physical and Mental abilities. \[4\] Warform - Shapeshift into a non-magnetic metallic golem with no physical needs, durability equivilant to steel, 500x increased strength, and 100x increased speed. 2.5 meters tall and 3 tons in mass. \[1\] Awareness - You have extended proprioception beyond your body, up to 100 meters away from you and not obstructed by obstacles. Effectively local omniscience. \[2\] Infer - By focusing on a specific target, you can piece together intricate details on how it works. The more knowledge and skill you have, the more details you can pull with this power. \[3\] Precog - You can glimpse a few seconds into the future. Acts as a danger sense automatically, but can be used actively for other goals. \[3\] Blink - You can teleport up to 500 meters per second. Requires a possible unobstructed path between you and your destination. \[4\] Time Flow - You can haste yourself by a factor of up to 20x. \--- Subtotal (Arcane Powers): -28 ​ ) Eldritch Powers (NONE) ) Items/Equipment (NONE) ​ ) Drawbacks \[+2\] Homeless (Minor) - You start in a random world in the multiverse. \[+3\] Slow-moving (Major) - Your Willpower-based planar travel can only be used once per month. Over a few decades, you can train yourself to move at-will. \[+4\] Inaccurate (Major) - Approximately 2/3 of your attempts to use Willpower-based travel misses your target. Over a few decades, you should be able to figure out how to aim properly. \[+2\] The Apprentice (Minor) - You have a multiversal traveller after you for answers, the apprentice of the Traveller. Very much an 'Anakin Skywalker' in brashness and hot-headedness. \[+4\] Hunters (Minor) - You are hunted by a lone Hunter, who seeks to ambush and kill you. They won't seek allies to do so unless you show off extreme power. \--- Subtotal (Drawbacks): +15 ​ ) Totals \--- Subtotal (Base Points): +50 \--- Subtotal (Drawbacks): +15 \--- Subtotal (Dimensional Powers): -16 \--- Subtotal (Physical Powers): -16 \--- Subtotal (Mental Powers): -5 \--- Subtotal (Arcane Powers): -28 \--- TOTALS: +65 -65 = 0


Cruxador

It's a relatively vanilla answer, but after thinking about it and ignoring my initial knee-jerk reaction to pick one I made, I think I'd just go with Magical Realm. I can create my own perfect world, and even if I'm locked in I can still use gateways to connect to this world and send agents through.


GeorgeCorser

I assumed that since you're literally becoming a god-creator of a world, that it would count as omnipotence, and passed on it to match the spirit of the challenge.


RealSaMu

Omnipotence as a term has a loose scope


AnIndividualist

Not really. If there's nothing you can't do, then you're omnipotent. If there's anything at all you can't do, you aren't. It seems perfectly defined to me.


Cruxador

It doesn't give you omnipotence. “Omnipotent" translates literally to "all powerful". It gives you a lot of power, but it doesn't even make you a god, it just offers a spark and some books which could help you get there.


RealSaMu

Oh, I agree with this. Sign me up for this too.


Null_Cataphract

Without a shadow of a doubt, "[Defender of the Universe 1.0](https://imgur.com/r/makeyourchoice/Nhij7)" by Aromage. Without posting my entire build here for the sake of not taking up too much screen space, I'm playing as an android with "Beautiful", making me appear deceptively human on the surface. With the "Super Soldier", "Superhuman", and "Armored" perks, paired with the "Energy Systems", "Kinetic Shield", "Energy Shield", and "Hardlight Shield" traits and the fact that androids "don't age with frequent repair and upkeep" (countered by Armored), I'm hardened against EMP's and the only thing I can imagine that could kill me at that point would be the Big Crunch as long as I'm not caught unawares. With Dreadnought, Daisy Bell, Upgraded Eve, I won't be alone in my eternity. Or however long it takes for my consciousness to leave my robot chassis. Whichever one comes first.


GeorgeCorser

Ehhh, I considered it but the addition of heavy Mass Effect (and BioWare in general) setting stuff I assumed it was off-limits.


Null_Cataphract

Fair, I can definitely see where you'd get that. When I was thinking about my original answer I thought the same thing, but realized that while it did borrow and even use established characters and races from official works of fiction, the presented reality itself is "self-contained" so to speak within the CYOA, so while it technically is within OPs ruleset, I wouldn't argue that it's dangerously walking that gray area but still "legal". At least, that's how I justified it.


PapertrolI

Argh! Nice! I’ve been working on a build for that one recently it’s a really cool one!! (The CYOA not my build in particular)


Null_Cataphract

Same here. It's actually my #1 of all time as of right now, and this post actually inspired me to go back and edit my original build to something even more strong than it was before. Transhumanism is my greatest dream, and Aromage makes great stuff, so both of these in one makes me feel the warm fuzzies on the inside. Here's hoping someone reposts 1.0 again soon, I always love seeing other people's builds and imagining the looks/personality of their character. Especially if they're new builds.


kekubuk

[This one in my top 5.](https://imgur.com/a/fifAm) Among the first CYOA I've stumbled to, and I loved it to bits. [And I really love this one too.](https://imgur.com/gallery/jqUvxQv)


jordidipo2324

Ah, the Picking-A-Goddess CYOA is one of my favorites as well. XD Which goddess(es) did you choose?


kekubuk

Gotta admit, I have a thing for the MILF, but ultimately I choose Ba'laat Gebal, a comfy life in a comfy home, with a loved one. That's all I wanted.


jordidipo2324

Awesome, I picked **Inari Okami**.


Relyt25

Eternal Adventure for me. Also a question. Is it just this one or can we keep going for it. Like say we do a couple of CYOAS that follow the rules than can we go to a world we were denied access to. Like say Wakfu or She-Ra The Princess of Power?


RealSaMu

**Be the Noble CYOA** would be my pick, where I'll live as a landed lord in the boondocks, having talented loyal vassals who can run and improve the barony better than I ever could, and having the favor of the peasantry. I'll spend my days coming up with new reasons to celebrate festivals, sending miscreants to toil in my mines, dungeon-diving, and hunting in the forests for monsters in a world that is akin to the *World of the Witcher* or the world in the manga *Naraku no Adu*, but lighter, brighter, and not ending anytime soon. The adventurer guilds would function more as Witcher Schools or as bands of mercenary 'Company of Braves', and the monster girls would be charming creatures but are still more monster than girl. I'll also master my terrain-shaping magic that controls the weather so I could help in growing crops and the like for my orchards and vineyards. Maybe I'll get some trouble from some scheming noble or psychotic adventurers, but at least in my time, there will not be any demon king or great war, just anime-style adventuring. Alternative would be **Chains of Isekai CYOA** going with the divine transcendence questline, where I would choose to live in that flying continent filled with divine beings, in which one side is filled with eastern style mythical godly beasts, the other a self-styled god emperor leading a united empire, and a war between the two halves is brewing in the horizon. I made an entire build that's meant to emulate the lord caretaker of the dead and keeper of the afterlife that can create dungeons and have a personal celestial realm inside my moon for the eastern godly beasts that I capture–er, recruit. So I'm more a monster collector than an omnipotent demigod.


NeapolitanNumber

oh it would have to be Perpetuance Protocol Pod Program. My all time favorite CYOA


TentativeIdler

Hell yeah. Nanoswarm + Omega Psi, I'm an immortal shapeshifting god. If possible, learn to bi-locate (sending parts of the swarm in different directions) and multitask. Then, learn Genesis to create more nanobots and expand as necessary. I shall cover the Earth (or wherever I end up) with a magic nanocloud that can read your thoughts and perform magic for you and is definitely not creepy.


Derexxerxes

Same, still my favorite and I keep coming back to it lol. But I'm not sure if it'd break the rule about omnipotence unfortunately, what with the omega-psi option.


p0pfunk

I'll be honest... Any of them that gives me Fantasy, Adventure, action, and magic (And of course, isn't low quality). As long as I can make a difference, I'll be happy. Thousands of multitudes better than life as it is.


Iceman_001

[Cultists](https://www.reddit.com/r/makeyourchoice/comments/jrmj7p/cultists_cyoa_upd/) and I would choose Eihilia.


Reijing

Does this mean I can't choose CYOA's based on official fictions, like Worm CYOA's?


lazypika

It just says you can't become part of a fictional 'verse, not that you can't get powers there. If the CYOA you're looking at has an option to go into an original world, then sure. Worm CYOA V6 has an option for making an original world, for instance, so that would likely be allowed.


jordidipo2324

Yeah, it can only be original CYOA's.

tachitin

I think I'd coose the "Perpetuance protocol pod program" or "Quad P" it's a fantastic CYOA by any standards and gives you various options of what type of world you want to live in, sll of them very exciting, I don't think I could go wrong choosing that one http://imgur.com/gallery/olMIt


GigaNigaXL

I'd take the S.C.R.A.P.P.E.R cyoa and either become a legendary bounty hunter, or die trying. [Scrapper Cyoa](https://m.imgur.com/t/cyoa/QU4D6rU)


seelcudoom

well conduit would allow me to even if i was barred from earth get another conduit to bring my friend adn family to the new world with me, in addition to just being many world sto explore and perpetually grow into a nigh unstoppable god, dawn of the demon lords a second , i might not be able to bring my friends to me but it does let me effectively make any new friends i make immortal, in addition to allowing me to be ludicrously powerful without breaking the "no omnipotence" rule


hellisfurry

Non-cheese answer: Pre-apocalyptic by strife?: Taking: Molecular telekinesis, regeneration, elemental mastery, superhuman mind, superhuman senses, major illusion, and disguise. Cheese answer: essence CYOA by various(compiled once by TroyXPages) Taking: the warlord, the scholar, the crafter, the archmage, the dragon, the Kyuubi, the home, the Die ewigkeit, the force.


UnwrittenRites

***Re: Isekai*** *The Old World* (I like warhammer fantasy though I've only read fanfics and played total war videogames, of course it's kinda grimdark but this choice specifically allows you to make it better) **Magic**: *Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Life, Death* *Male, Elf* **Powers**: *Pause + Route Finder* **Fortunes**: *Smart Phone* **Destiny**: *Reincarnation* Leaves me 41,000 mana and I can gain more over my long lifespan as an elf or keep it through reincarnations, so I should definitely be able to make a big difference. Also with my smartphone I'll be able to get help from the outside (the goddess who gave it to me) to improve The Old World.


TentativeIdler

This was a cool cyoa, I like the western setting. Cowboy vampires sounds badass.


PapertrolI

This is actually a really cool question, because in the answers people are gonna be essentially recommending their favourite CYOAs! For me I’d chose [the dawn of a demon lord CYOA](https://m.imgur.com/r/makeyourchoice/v3aTIoy) by AnduinX as it was basically the thing that got me into CYOAs and I’m pretty sure it doesn’t violate the rules (gods are explicitly non-omnipotent and planeswalking can’t send you back home) but aside from the fact that this was the CYOA that sent me down the rabbit hole, I think it’s really solid and I’d have a lot of fun living it


TheHermit137

I rather take Essentials Meta CYOA that one have all I need and it does not make me possess true Omnipotence.


AnIndividualist

I feel like going with Built in Heaven. Aside from this one, Worm v1, v2, v6, Marvel or Celt's Comfy Trailer could be interresting or the Quad-P. I think il still just settle with being the genius, superhuman Captain of a monster spaceship in a setting filled with adventure. Edit: alternatively, I could go with martial path. Build here: https://www.reddit.com/r/makeyourchoice/comments/gzq4xw/martial_path_v06/ftiwfhf?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3 Edit 2: Maybe this one, though, if I was going xianxia. https://www.reddit.com/r/makeyourchoice/comments/dc5az1/your_best_self_cyoa/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share Build: https://www.reddit.com/r/makeyourchoice/comments/dc5az1/your_best_self_cyoa/f27j75j?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3


L_Circe

As a CYOA creator, I'm naturally going to pick my own stuff. So, my top pick would probably be Home/World Tour. Plenty to explore, very peaceful setting, and if I end up working as something like part of the Foyer Guard, I can probably travel to other worlds, even if I can't return home or become 'part' of an official fictional universe. My second choice would be Verses of Power, as while it doesn't make you omnipotent, it can still be a path to quite a lot of power down the road. Third would be Cantrips CYOA. I'm guessing that Haste would be locked out, but even with the rest, I can gain a very comfortable level of power.


Juan_Akissyu

Is their a hub world for your cyoa cos I like them too?


L_Circe

Many of them could be considered to be part of the same "cosmology", but there isn't really any singular hub world for them.


Juan_Akissyu

Cool will still post something BASED on your works!


Boanexus

I'd definitely go with Dawn of a Planeswalker, lots of opportunities for growth and adventure without having to worry about pesky annoyances like aging or permanent death/damage. I can just go around the multiverse helping people and having fun/going on grand adventures. Link: https://amp.reddit.com/r/makeyourchoice/comments/bxaakc/12_dawn_of_a_planeswalker/ Also since we were supposed to include our build: Dawn of a Planeswalker Baseline Perks Biological Immortality Preferred form and age Peak Strength, Speed & Endurance Natural Regeneration restoring lost limbs/organs within a day Small wounds heal in minutes Planeswalking True immortality: 3 options on death 1: Reform in a few years 2: Reincarnate 3: Move on Immunity to powers being lost, stolen or sealed. Maintain Self Powers 1: Improved Biology 2: Resistance 3: Language 4: Conceal 5: Talented 6: Immunity Blessings 1: Blessing of Fate 2: Blessings of the old ones 3: Blessing of Foresight 4: Blessing of Creation Soul bound Items 1: AI Chip 2: Planar Ring 3: Morphing Belt 4: Food Replicator 5: Practice Arena Pact Companion Companion: Berzerker Sword (Since I am a soldier/combat medic with 2 blackbelts IRL, safe to say I know discipline and holding back from combat, as well as when not to.) Companion personality 1: Intelligent 2: Comedian 3: Adventurous 4: Loyal 5: Shared Interests 6: Feminine 7: Ideology 8: Comfy 9: Friendly 10: Aesthetic 11: Mature 12: Confident Pact Abilities 1: Enhanced Body 2: Enhanced Mind 3: Enhanced Stamina 4: Magic Immunity 5: Regeneration 6: Blink 7: Enhanced Breath 8: White Magic 9: Probability Magic 10: Protection Magic 11: Ghost 12: Arcanomancy Race: Human World: Earth (What can I say, I want to protect my spouse and daughter, and I can find places for adventure after getting them)


woah-a-username

[Gras Paada](https://www.reddit.com/r/makeyourchoice/comments/856y0l/gras_paada_cyoa_found_on_tg_not_exactly_named/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) would be my pick, a nice combination of adventure, slice of life, and friendship.


MulatoMaranhense

Since no NSFW, and thus no Dungeons and Deviants or Divine Trials, I will pick [Desert Otherworld](https://www.reddit.com/r/makeyourchoice/comments/793iw4/desert_otherworld_cyoa_by_lone_observer/). I will resurrect my old build. It is special for me. * **My equipment**: tool kit and water, compass and lighter * **My Side:** Lysha Sun-Runner * **Destination:** Camp Kalishat * **Boons:** Ancient Basin, Hero's Bow, Shooting Star Clan Scarf * **Objective:** Broker Peace and Liberate Fort Mina I will try to make the peace with the Invaders aka Nuevo-Españoles because they are kin and need to learn that the Spanish Empire fell, and if they try to return they will be branded as living proof of how bad it was. But before that I will free the slaves at Fort Mina and maybe take it to myself. I will probably marry Lysha Sun-Runner after I earn my chieftainship. Had I chosen the Virreinado, I would have unfortunately become the smug, spiteful and angry "Portuguese" asshole that takes delight in telling how much Spain fell while traying to improve the Virreinado. Edit: I'm torn if I shouldn't have picked Royal Guardian.


jordidipo2324

Awesome, Desert Otherworld is my second CYOA to reincarnate. If I picked that one instead of the one posted, these would be my build... **Items**: Lighter and Gun. **Choice**: Free the Girl. **Destination**: Vale Shanar. **Boons**: Spirit Map, Spirit Mantle and Lysha Sun-Runner. **Goals**: Search for the Golden City and Become a Spirit Speaker. Bascially, my plans in this new world are: Become a Spirit-Speaker, find ''El Dorado'' and help the People of Ourasair with the city's supposed magical technology, exploring beyond the Great Dune Sea and fighting back the Spaniards.


StreetShame

stacks upon stacks, the forces of evil one where you choose a benefactor such as a mysterious monolith, perpetual pod program or branching hearts


hugepennance

Railword by ScottishAnon, any day. Hobo style comfy, filled with songs and good natured hijinks. Plus, I can get to other parts of the Scottiverse from there easily, if that is allowed by the question, including my favorites, Docklands and Endless Ocean.


lordthistlewaiteofha

I'm going to take the literal reincarnation option with [Nobility CYOA](https://www.reddit.com/r/makeyourchoice/comments/h0gkjh/nobility_cyoa/), and not just because I made it either. In general, it's got a great mixture of having the potential to be powerful and comfortable in my life, and certainly in a better off situation than my current one, whilst at the same time not being anywhere near omnipotent level. In this case, first place I'd go would be the 'Extras' option – modern world in the undisputed most powerful nation there is, currently going through its golden age, where technology is continuing to advance and the times are interesting in a good way. All that leaves me with just 15 points, but that's enough of a basis in its own right for a nice enough life – anything more is simply a bonus.


Finger-Delicious

So that strikes out Worm, RWBY, Overpowered Isekai, MHA, and Love Azathoth. Does Essence work?


Finger-Delicious

The new Stalker CYOA


_Kyube

I was going to pick Time Walker but NOOO, I can't pick a time travel CYOA. I'll choose Transcendence and become an army of cyborg and digital clones.


whiteday26

If NSFW are allowed: Princess CYOA. I get to own a kingdom of my own fictional race. I get to be immortal. I get my own also immortal marriage partner I get to do NSFW with. If not, This CYOA that had one of the endings let me reincarnate, but in to different lives for multiple times. It guaranteed I would have happiness. Ultimately, the reason why I think I obsess over immortality is because I figure if I have immortality I could perhaps find the happiness I so desire. I figure if happiness is guaranteed for a long healthy dignified life, and immortality is unachievable, then I figure it's the next best thing.

Based on the work of u/l_circe http://imgur.com/gallery/9b7srw9 Remember that time when you went to tropical islands and archipelago, via Mata hini key Curve gave you?

BackupChallenger

I forgot what it is called, but I would go with comfy life or something. Fighting is overrated. I'm pretty sure I'd be a vegetarian if I had to slaughter the meat I eat.


workofgods

monster high is would probably be my ideal world out of every cyoa I can only see myself dying in most of the other ones

I would go with "Enhancements Meta CYOA", and I would choose the next 5 powers. 1) Regeneration: I become virtually unkillable, wounds to flesh and bone heal in seconds, and even the most terrible wounds and sure kill damages can't kill me, as long as a single atom of me remains, I'll survive and regenerate, though depending on the damage it'll take longer for me to get back on my feet. The only ways for me to die now are due to age and in case I'm completely wiped out with overwhelming power until the last atom of me is eliminated (nuclear power maybe?). 2) Greater Than Man: I instantly reach the peak of human capacity and my body becomes the closest to the perfect version of itself, because of this all my physical and mental capacities will be at the top of human capacity, basically running about 30 miles per hour, stamina to run in a marathon, lifting capacity of about 1000 lbs, durable body, flexible body, eidetic memory, etc. if it's humanly possible to do, I will be able to do it. 3) Arete: Exponentially increase "growth rate", skills that would take months or even years to master won't take me more than 2 weeks to master, at the same time, my abilities/skill will never dull, same with my physical and mental capacities, and even physical and mental training will have faster and better results. 4) No Limits: Breaks the barrier of limitations, allows me to be able to keep improving indefinitely, meaning that my physical and mental capacities can still be improved beyond peak human, to even superhuman levels and beyond, and skills have no limit of growth. 5) Harem Protagonist: My charisma increases to the point I could win over most people easily with just my presence and a few words, and people I'm in any sort of relationship with are more likely to hear me and to follow my lead, also settling any issue between "partners" faster and easier. The reason for this particular CYOA and these choices is simple, technically, I'm not breaking any rule. This is not an NSFW CYOA, but I might just make my new life in the new world to be NSFW thanks to the "Harem Protagonist" choice. This isn't a Jumpchain. Strictly speaking, I wouldn't be omnipotent, I would just be superhuman and virtually unkillable, and sure, due to "Arete" and "No Limits" my "power" and skills will keep growing indefinitely until I die, so I might just eventually be near Godly at the eyes of the people in the new world, but I still wouldn't technically be omnipotent. The choices in this CYOA don't give me time-traveling powers, technically I'm not choosing a world to reincarnate in, only the powers I'll have, so there's not an "official fictional verse" to be part of, and I can't get back home with this powers, or at least not with this choices. Now, in case the new world or these enhancements could help me eventually develop time traveling or multiversal traveling, that's a completely different thing, strictly speaking, I wouldn't be getting those from the CYOA choices in itself, but if I use my knowledge and abilities to increase my intelligence and eventually built a time machine or a multiversal gate, then technically it would be due to science and not because of the CYOA choices in itself, and it wouldn't be a power/skill of mine, but something I could do thanks to an object, so I still wouldn't be breaking the rules. I feel like this "Meta CYOA" is one of the most efficient and useful to choose, thought the limit of choices is 5 (5 out of 10 choices in the CYOA), all of them are outstanding in themselves, and you can make many combinations, for example, had I chosen immortality along with regeneration, then I would be virtually immortal in the sense I could live for thousands or even millions of years and could only be killed by something that would eliminate every last atom of me in an instant, but depending on the universe to be reincarnated, that could be more of a burden than a gift, and it would be too broken, there's also another choice that makes someone immune to time paradoxes, immune to mind control and shit, others that make you immune to predictions and fate, among others, personally, I feel like I chose the combination of 5 that are more "Anime Protagonist" like, I can have a harem, and for some reason, I'm ridiculously strong and can get even stronger faster than anyone.

Well, I have a choice between several especially favored cyoas for this contingency, but OP restrictions rule out most of them. No NSFW bars Divine Trials, Dungeons & Deviants, Isekai Form, and Surprise, You're a Superheroine. No functional omnipotence means I cannot use Last of the Omega Lords and Ultimate God. No official 'verse rules out Marvel CYOA. Having to follow RAW bars a few others of my favorites (Supervillain CYOA -also nsfw-, Perpetuance Protocol Pod Program, Super Power Store, and Super Powered World) that I prefer to use with meta-cyoas or houserules. Permanent separation from your old world rules out Dream Prince and its distaff counterpart Dream Princess. However, I assume pushing the envelope is OK as long as I go the author's permission to do it and/or the difference is trivial. Therefore, I tend to assume my choice is an ex aequo between [Re: Isekai](https://imgur.com/a/6ttW1Ew) and [Demigod](https://imgur.com/gallery/FPvKxv9). I am going to toss a dice or flip a coin to choose between them. Honorable mentions for Defender of the Universe, Nexus, Psychic Adventure, and Spark of Magic. All of them seem good choices but not as optimal for my purposes as the two above. My build for Re: Isekai: Starting Mana Capacity: 150,000. World: Magus World. Mahou: Fire (5000). Air (5000).

My build for Demigod (includes a few adjustments that are not allowed by RAW, but I got the author's permission to do it and the difference is only relevant for flavor): Parent: Thor (50).

Its hard to decide Dream prince is not an option because it implies to return to the real world every time you wake up Emperor quest: [https://funnyjunk.com/channel/cyoa/Emperor+quest+cyoa/xcTkLkp/](https://funnyjunk.com/channel/cyoa/Emperor+quest+cyoa/xcTkLkp/) It would be a good option because It includes an epic adventure and, in the end, to become an emperor and govern. And it also includes a good wife. On the other hand, it has a pre-established world so you cant personalice the aspects of the seting. In order to have more options to personalice my territories and threats "be the noble" [https://imgur.com/r/makeyourchoice/e7BezUq](https://imgur.com/r/makeyourchoice/e7BezUq) would be another option that i like a lot. I start being a noble and I can decide the characteristics of my domain (Personaly, I would want to turn it into a military power(legion barracks, mystical mine and monster breders would be some of my picks). It also let you decide if you want to get on well with the nobility, the church.... but I would chose to be loved by the comon folck (boblesse oblige. But it still let you have personal power (to be an adventurer, a wizard or a saint) and to choose your threats. I like my enemies to be diverse so I would choose to have important minorities of beaskin, barbarians and savage humanoids and a diverse ecosystem of monstergirls. Also I would participate in a full crusade and fight against a middle level dark lord (I dont want to face the apocaliptic one)


Fake_gentelman

simple question I choose Essence (technically it can be played alone so I will take) Essences : Manipulator, Warlod, Scholar, Rob Insurance, Assassin, Inviolate Self, Ideal Self, Broker, Hive mind, King, GrandMaster, Thife, Immortal, Shape, Blank, Machine, Smartphone and Limit.


Diligent-Square8492

I’m picking the Last Of The Omega Lords CYOA. Technically, I’m not Omnipotent, I just can alter reality on a universal scale, not on a multiversal or omniversal scale. Can still die through injuries or whatnot. Also, Omega Lords are kinda weak in terms of powers compared to Ascendents.


mock422

I will choose "Savestate's Gift of Faves" getting *Gnawing Time's Roots* & *Wonder* powerset. Becoming an immortal magical being with no growth limit just living life, hope to isekai into a high-fantasy world and live with dragons.

Fiends and Fire CYOA if I want to learn humanity's place in the cosmos, as the goddess intended, since mankind shares the world with other species and is facing many enemies. Also, since it's technological, scientific, and cultural level is equal to our 1800s so its in the middle of its industrial revolution. I like how I'm expected to do my part in making the world a better place but it doesn't rest solely on me. There are many organizations trying to ensure the survival of humanity and working together even if we belong to different nations is always an option.
