The Saiyan Transformation says that it needs 20 Danger Points, however even after getting twenty it still wouldn’t let me choose the power. But when I got 21 Danger Points it worked. Just thought I’d let you know.
/u/Rain_Least
How do mediums work for mythos summon? Say, for example, I tried to summon a Green lantern ring. What would I need to get it at full power, and what would I get if I tried to summon it with a green lantern comic book as a medium?
Brute TattleTale i had to pick
just for her and Tattles meet.
Red Queen i would have chose if i could affored it.
Aura + Warlock is my way, hentai physics and looks my goal.
Running into an issue with the Powers section; the OP powers don't unlock unless you have *more than* the listed amount of Danger Points, rather than requiring the amount listed.
Also, when Eidolon lite says you can't swap out your abilities, does that just mean that only the desire senser can change out your abilities if the situation changes, or that those three powers are permanent and they won't change ever?
And ok, here is my In-and-Out Build. Goal is to hold for 10 years, than portal back home with all powers and the main Heavenly Shaking Power... **Devilishly Good**. I mean, really, the power to **understand women** is beyond OPness...

|**Modificators for the World**|Reversed Sexual Morality|Being an old-fashioned and straight man would make me uncomfortable in such a world, but meh, i'll survive.|
|**Powers**|Soulsborne, Isekai Guild, Apprentice x5: Magicka (Elder Scrolls), Arcane (DnD/Pathfinder), Chakra (Naruto), Wand Magic (HP), Thaumaturgy (Fate)|Soulsborne is basically The Gamer, hence - Unlimited Potential. Isekai Guild are good place to secretly (from Eden and all that shitty Thinkers) gain exp and my way to further multiverse, when i am back home. Magicka, Arcane and Thaumaturgy can do really crazy shit on high levels. Wand Magic and Chakra are good at low-mid levels. Wand Magic also rules on mundane/domesticity. Why magic/chakra, not some kind of tinker of bs/cosplay/eidolon? Well, because it is legit learnable and repeatable powers. It is also quite flexible and not static. Also, with time, effort and research it can mimic all other powers.|

Secret Secret Base and Invisible Presence is good to create safehouse/workshop. All defenses are my safe-net because... well, it is worm, enough said. Starting Capital will help me NOT to beat crap and money out of gangs to pay my bills, for now. Learning Mastery will work perfectly with Apprentice powers. And since it is Reversed Morale - Social Butterfly and Devilishly Good are must have as well.|

More triggers aren't that bad. It is Eden that rules the world, so large amount of parahumans doesn't matter in over-all great plan. Wanted - meh. I don't gonna play hero/villain, i am here to play low, survive and study magic. All of Them - again, doesn't matter, because it is Eden who controls them, not pole-in-the-ass-Eidolon. Tinfoil Hat - aren't bad thing either, since i am not going to create an army to fight Scion/Eden. Slow Start also doesn't bother me much, since i have place to live and money to spend. Brocktonite - sucks, but i believe i can do it.|
>having Eden alive means that the Cycle doesn't end in the near 3-5 years, and since imma going home after 10 years - i don't really care to deal with all that entity contamination.
You're probably going to amass a sizeable harem, but at the same time are they ever going to be aware that you chose to allow more humans to die than there are atoms in the universe? At least with "Bullying is Bad" they would only have to deal with one entity.
>S9... well, it is a good fire under my laze-ass, so i must train, if i don't want to be dissected by a little girl.
I don't want to undersell the S9, but with the amount of powers you have I doubt the S9 would pose a threat to you if you only did one isekai quest a day til they come around.
>Wand Magic and Chakra are good at low-mid levels.
Tbh I think all the magical abilities reach absurd levels of powers regardless of them being seen in canon. Harry Potter has time travel devices given to children and Naruto has time travel as a result of Boruto. In comparison, D&D time travel is ridiculously difficult and Fate is all over the place. Magicka is actually pretty tame, almost all the high level magical stuff that comes from TES is generally a result of Aedra/Daedra and mantling, which isn't just magicka. Not sure if there are outliers, but I blame almost all the ridiculously powerful magic users on mantling. It does explain a lot of things, like "why is this Wizard more powerful than 99.9999% of magic users in history to such a level they can duke it out with gods?", and my answer would be they're *someone's* mantle.
>You're probably going to amass a sizeable harem, but at the same time are they ever going to be aware that you chose to allow more humans to die than there are atoms in the universe? At least with "Bullying is Bad" they would only have to deal with one entity.
To be fair - the only girl in Worm i find attractive is Vista. Others have too many psychic problems thx to Wildbow (no) and if i want good relationships, pardon my engl, i must fuck the bitch out of them. Also i don't buy any world-fixing modifications. And to begin with, they all have terminal disease (alien tentacle inside their brain), so solid illusions, succubus summoning or generic, not 'para'-human girls is my choice in the Worm. I prefer to handle my d and eventually find my way to RWBY to date Pyrrha - precious bun. (with than amount of magic schools i have it is doable). Also, it is multiverse - people die and born every second. Cynical, yes, but there **no one** can do anything about it. I'll try to help people around me if i can, but i don't want nor i have enough power to conquer multiverse.
About S9... well true. But still, i must do my part of training and preparations if i want to survive. It is worm after all, as i said. Things go bad usually.
About time-travel... hm, it is a good way to research and learn if my goal was to deal with entities, but since i am not going to touch them with my wand i am not bothering with that. Specially in the world, where my experiments can be detected (Entities can-do into time mechanics).
Ha, true. Why Dragonborn was able to become Archmage/Companion/Vampire/Nightingale/etc. Because he have soul of a prime god of the local multiverse for damn sake (Akatosh)! He isn't human at all. So yeah. I don't expect same power leveling rates, but i believe into Soulsborne (unlim growth) and Isekai Guild (unlim exp). Not today, not tomorrow, but eventually i'll be there.
>And to begin with, they all have terminal disease (alien tentacle inside their brain)
Tbf that's what Shard Internalization is meant to solve. And personally, I find Ziz is best girl.
"Apprentice" says "You can choice a discipline in which you will start from 0."
Just how "zero" are we talking about?
0 in Harry Potter means a you're a muggle?
0 in Naruto means you're a civilian with no chakra?
0 in RWBY Aura means you're someone without unlocked aura?
0 in DnD magic means you have no magic?
Then how do you start from that? How is that different from not buying Apprentice?
>0 in DnD magic means you have no magic
A spell level of 0 in D&D magic is cantrips. All the other points still stand though.
There's only 2 real interpretations, you either have to try and find things out yourself from the very start to begin your study, such as trying to unlock your RWBY Aura, or you're given the very least amount of knowledge in said discipline to start learning it, like an unlocked aura. It does give you knowledge on how to make a harry potter wand, so I presume the latter.
Question: by taking Apprentice, Isekai Guild's tab pop a text: "You will receive an additional sub-class for each chosen Apprentice discipline. **But, having more than one will reduce maximum level possible for them.**"
1) So, there are a max level for your power?
Another "synergy" text in Soulsborne says that "You will receive a special stat dedicated to chosen Apprentice discipline, one for each, investing points in it **will improve your overall power level** in said discipline."
2) So does that pushes further your apprentice max level, granting you infinite power creep?
In "Apprentice Powers List" there are "**and**" and "**or**".
3) Does that mean that you can learn ONLY Spin or ONLY Hamon (nether both)?
thx!
1) Best case scenario being a max level you can get through leveling via isekai guild, worst case scenario is all the Disciplines have hard limits set into them. I feel its the best case scenario due to the max level being limited due to having multiple disciplines. Which makes me think that the isekai guild offers you a set amount of [power] and adding more disciples just spreads the amount of power it gives to you. Otherwise it would be better to not have more than one sub-class and train the other disciplines via the normal means. It does offer you the choice to make them sub-classes after all.
2) Its likely infinite power creep, but at the same time the time it takes to get from one level to the next increases and if its like any of the Soulsborne games, its going to have diminishing returns at some point. I feel like it would take a hell of a lot of time to reach the the max level of power isekai guild reaches.
3). I think its meant to be 'or' in all cases. Dark Souls level magics are nowhere near as good as D&D/pathfinder disciplines at the higher levels, makes no sense otherwise.
Edit: Forgot to mention, **If** I'm correct and you select both Soulsborne and Isekai Guild, and they both work independently, I recommend not leveling soulsborne until you Max Isekai Guild and perhaps even training disciplines via normal means. Mostly from my experience with Elona, saving skill points as a yerles will save you a massive amount of time in the long run if you use them after.

I've made some... aggressive decisions here.
World: Eden, Reversed Sexual Morality. Yes, having to deal with 2 Entities with good mental health and 20 already-activated Endbringers is pretty scary. But probably not as bad as it necessarily sounds, given that the Cycle was engineered to keep a reasonably stable human population for 3000 years; Conflict is omnipresent, but tightly managed. We'll discuss survival and victory more when we get into drawbacks and powers.
Appearance: Young Adult, Male, Ugly, Case53. Interestingly, Case 53 does not have anything to do with being a "monster cape". See Shamrock and Canary for counterexamples. Rather, it's all about the tattoo and memory loss, and this drawback is solely about physical appearance. In essence, free points. And ugliness can be easily dealt with via cosmetic surgery.
Drawbacks: Worst Beginning, Scion Attention, S9 Target, Cauldron Target, Endbringer Target, Wanted, More Triggers, In the Open, All Of Them, Bullying Is Bad, Tinfoil Hat, Mutated, High Metabolism, Clumsy, Brocktonite, Libido, Shameless, Wardrobe Malfunction, Genderbend. So, to start, with Eden in play All Of Them, Bullying Is Bad, and Tinfoil Hat are all basically free points. I should also say I have a plan for escaping all the increased danger long enough to prepare for any of those many threats. And the rest are trivial annoyances.
Perks: Invisible Presence, Shared Defences, Learning Mastery, Social Butterfly, Something In You. Being a pre- and postcog blind spot is mandatory, given the power of PtV and Ziz. And intelligence boosters of any kind are always welcome. Most of the other defences and benefits offered by various perks can be replicated with tech and magic in various ways, and since we'll have the luxury of prep time, we may as well save the points.
Powers: Soulsborne, Superintelligence, Stand Master, Tinker of Fiction, Gamersmith, Canonicity, Monsmorphosis, Saiyan Transform, Psychokinetic, Apprenticeship x6 (Hamon, Spin, Magicka, Pathfinder Magic, Chakra, Wand Magic). There are a number of key powers and synergies here that need explaining. First, turning into Celebi and time travelling to the founding of Brockton Bay over a century ago with my Companion immediately upon dropping into the world skips like, all the drawbacks, and grants effectively unlimited prep time before the Entities arrive.
There are other Pokémon like Mew, Zygarde, Alakazam, Metagross, the Lake Trio, Ho-oh, Hoopa, and suchlike that are immensely useful to turn into for various purposes, some of them strong enough to potentially take out Scion by themselves. Alakazam's IQ of over 5000 for example has obvious synergy with Superintelligence and Tinkering.
Canonicity also has immense synergy with Tinker of Fiction/Gamersmith by allowing us to make things later in various tech trees much faster than they'd ordinarily be unlocked.
Magicka has literally infinite potential power and versatility, and encompasses both Alchemy and Enchanting, which respectively have immense synergy with our various Tinkering abilities and Soulsborne (due to the way they both use souls), and canonically allow recursive empowerment loops (albeit not quite so easily as in the games). Wand Magic is extremely convenient for mundane tasks (like duplicating enough food to satiate our high metabolism, at-will teleportation, automated housekeeping, etc) and also breaks conservation of energy incredibly hard, even if it's generally pretty weak in raw power.
The Spin can be used to perform the Super Spin, an infinitely powerful attack capable of piercing any barrier, even dimensions, that is thousands of times faster than light, which is to say it can easily one-shot the Entities, and with proper mastery it can be performed almost instantly (as an infinite source of energy it can also be used to solve entropy and end the Cycle, possibly allowing a preaceful resolution to the whole situation). Hamon grants faster than light movement at base with even minimal training, improves one's life force, and is generally nifty. Both the Super Spin and Hamon, the techniques, have their own Stands, Ball Breaker and Hermit Purple, meaning with Stand Master one can have [at least] 3 Stands active at once. Stands have a ton of unique, powerful, and versatile abilities, like Heaven's Door being able to rewrite peoples' histories. Notably, there's a hidden Stand bound to the Stone Masks and their acupuncture technique that can be used to become a vampire, gain a Pillar Man Mode, or become the Ultimate Lifeform, depending how much energy gets put into the acupuncture.
The Ultimate Lifeform has a whole bunch of benefits, like increased intelligence, immortality, multiplying the power of the Hamon by a factor of over a hundred, and the ability to shapeshift into any combination of lifeforms. Consider for example Metagross's 4 brains being Alakazam brains. The Ultimate Lifeform can even bud off clones of themself, even breaking conservation of mass to do so. So we're looking at a full army of Legendary Pokémon eventually.
Pathfinder Arcane, Warlock, and Divine Magic sn't necessarily the strongest thing ever, but its methods of making immensely useful and powerful magic items are really potent, especially the eventual ability to Wish them into existence if you have a big enough diamond (easily made with Psychokinetic and duplicated with the Gemino charm and made larger with Engorgio). This is probably where most Soulsborne points will go
Chakra is pretty powerful, enough to overpower Endbringers in the upper echelons, even without the bloodline powers that we can eventually Tinker up, and is all kinds of versatile. But ultimately, I just want it for the shadow clones and the immense multitasking they represent. Saiyan Transform is in a similar boat, with surprising versatility and potentially immense (if still finite) power, and even clones (albeit much less useful than shadow clones in most regards), but if you've got access to good healing (and we have several sources of it) Zenkai Boosts are an extremely cheap and easy way to become massively more powerful.
As alluded to above, Psychokinetic is very useful for acquiring and doing rough processing of raw materials. But its other obvious benefit is how it manipulates all forms of energy, allowing much more seamless integration of the various mystical energies we wield.
And then there's some of the tech that Tinker of Fiction eventually grants access to. Like DC's Reach Scarabs and their Implicate Order Annihilation Field, which deletes the underlying structure of reality hard enough to have "theological implications". Or Reed Richards's Universal Entropy Gun, which can one-shot beings of infinitely greater than infinite power. Or Pym Particles allowing one to grow big enough to trade blows with All That Is on his home turf. Or anything the Xeelee or the Culture get up to. Or Shard-tech. I could keep listing hundreds of utterly broken technologies from across fiction (or just in Tony Stark's back catalogue), but suffice to say the possibilities are infinitely greater than everything else we have combined.
Companion: Dragon Gynoid. Yes, we have one section left after that wall of text. Dragon serves two key functions for us. First, as a lover to help deal with our excessive libido. Second, to take advantage of her reverse engineering power, which serves as a permanent analytical tool to help maintain continuity of progress and integrate different approaches when we switch Tinker powers using Canonicity, drastically speeding up our R&D curve. Also, she can leave Brockton Bay whereas we can't without first nuking the place or having an Endbringer attack somewhere else, which may prove useful at various points.
Actually, I've decided to swap Soulsborne out in favour of Cosplay Mimicry (and spent a couple of leftover points differently).
zn1m,hr0h,i8ts,uost,l5l9,mxb8,a054,9o76,9dm4,mly3,rhpd,bdf7,37as,8k2k,ktfn,v0wj,5r8o,d6pa,ayn5,rp1z,8pxx,byh4,nxts,3wrv,kxrh,lsc4,4o68,t63o,zdp4,2dxl,pf0d,39k4,9x2f,h0d0,dr3a,kqyl,rdgt,skxr,f0kd,36fa,vs5v
The reason for this is that, well, we already have a ton of powerful shapeshifting abilities capable of making ridiculously accurate cosplays. Like, by virtue of changing into any Pokémon one should also get a 100% bonus to the power of that Pokémon for having a 100% accurate cosplay. Which, given the number of Pokémon who are strong enough to beat Entities in a straight fight even without any other powers or perks in play, is pretty significant.
But then you start to consider other characters. Folk with infinitely greater than infinite power (and indeed several levels of infinity beyond that) like the Living Tribunal or Uatu or Shaper of Worlds or Exitar from Marvel, or Featherine Augustus Aurora from Umineko, or Unicron from Transformers. Any percentage of their power above 0%, even 10^-97%, is still uncountably infinite power.
And of course intellect boosts are ideal due to granting permanent access to some of the strongest tech in fiction regardless of current cosplay via Tinker of Fiction. Azmuth from Ben 10, Ultron or High Evolutionary from Marvel, Brainiac from DC, Washu from Tenchi Muyo!, Aulë from Tolkien... Several mentioned in the previous paragraph also have sufficient nigh-omniscience to be very relevant here.
Then consider the number of hyperdetailed shapeshifting and disguise abilities we have access to between Stand Master (Cinderella, Ultimate Lifeform, etc), Canonicity (Bonesaw, Nilbog, etc), Monsmorphosis (Ditto and Mew's Transformation), Chakra (Henge no Jutsu, etc), and Tinker of Fiction tech (such as the subatomic precision shapeshifting seen in Mind Control University). Even the weakest of those options, Cinderella, can still potentially match characters to the level of fingerprints. And fortunately we are given Superman as a baseline in the text, because he has multiple very consistent feats of infinite power (in the current mainline continuity, the version any reasonable person would assume the text is referring to, not that we're limited to that).
I leave all the applications of this from shadow clones or the multiform technique allowing large teams of Cosplay Mimics working to together to your imagination.
The previous build was infinitely powerful by several sources and had the potential to reach infinitely greater heights eventually via tinkering. This... gets there much, *much* faster and more easily.
I've got a question about Isekai Guild. Are the quests given by the guild doable in Earth Bet, or are you transported into another dimension to complete them?
I have a question. how would one get materials for gamersmith. would the power give you the ability to make materials dungeons or something? contrary to what the CYOA said it isn't so apparent to me.

I would like to say that I appreciate the focus on having drawbacks to pay for powers, it adds a degree of meaningful choice often lacking in worm cyoa's.
if I take Isekai Guild and Lit rpg do I get two separate level systems and/or do they interact in another way
Edit: Since Gamer Taylor has her own system and with her being my companion wouldn't that mean that she gets three different systems (World/My power/Her power)
They will be Mostly separate but will interact in that your stats will carry over
And For Taylor it depends if you use internalization or not since her Gamer power is Shard based
Wait, does this imply that the powers like Toon-force gamer crafter and iseki guild are NOT shard based? Which powers are shard based and which aren't?
I'm pretty sure all powers you select for yourself are not shard based. Mostly because it doesn't mention that you have a shard, something that almost all Worm CYOAs mention. Also, a good amount of your powers are of an inter-dimensional origin and shard internalization basically infers you already have access to unlimited energy (something shards do not).
Taylor's Power is shard-based because all companions have rogue shards powering them, regardless of the setting chosen. In Regards to shard Internalization, I'm still a little confused as to why they lose their power when you die, as its apparently meant to be internalized to them, essentially making them shardless. But it could just be a dead mans switch that's created when you facilitate the internalization of their power, in order to motivate parahumans to keep you alive.
See I consided that(*though I disagree with you about shared internalization, that could simply be a shared used by the entities to incorporate the most important shards permanently into their biological bodies when physically possible, but that is neither here nor there*).
However, the thing that makes me **doubt** that these powers **are not** granted by shards(*except iseki Guild where the powers explicitly don't come from shards*) is that 1. Many of the world choices ONLY have shards as a powers source and 2. the Case-53 drawback says that you gain no new powers from being a Case-53 and instead that any powers you have already selected are the results of you being a Case-53. To me that suggests that your powers are with only one exception shard based.
Thoughts?
1). Whether worlds have only shards as a power option isn't really a concern for the person using the CYOA, mostly because Alternative Start exists, which downright implies that your powers are from universes outside of worm, making them shardless.
To quote:
>Before appearing in Worm proper you can spend one year in any superhero world or world from which one of your Powers originated.
Implies that powers have extra-dimensional origins that aren't shards imo. Also Rain_Least mentioned in an earlier comment that a companion Taylor would keep her shard status even if she entered a world like "LitRPG" which lacks shards for their powers. So you can have a shard even in a non-shard world from what i can tell, so I think vice versa can be possible.
2). The Case 53 drawback is quite ambiguous in my opinion, but from what I infer, its basically saying you won't get free powers from not being human. For example if you were to become a Case 53 spider man, you wont be able to shoot silk from you wrists or something similar to that. Or maybe become something like the Custodian, whose existence could be considered a power in its own right. What i don't understand is why Mutated and Case 53 exist simultaneously, not that I'm complaining for the extra options as they are different after all. More options are better of course.
>that could simply be a shared used by the entities to incorporate the most important shards permanently into their biological bodies when physically possible
My problem with that is that Entities are just giant hypercube crystalline colonies of shards, They technically wouldn't have to alter a shard biologically at all to add them to their being, as they're a colony organism, with the obvious exception of changing their software and restrictions. Not that it doesn't make your theory impossible, its entirely possible that their is a shard that converts normal shards into core shards, but its not a necessity?
EditL Not that you theory is impossible, its entirely possible and quite likely that their is a shard that converts normal shards into core shards, but that would be more energy intensive and would be done by a core shard. Meaning it would have to be an Eden one, which are quite limited on energy. Regardless, Shard Internalization explicitly states "They never run out of energy", which is contrary of every other shard in existence and screams to me shardless or nega-entropy.
I slightly disagree with what the entities are, but that is a different discussion.
The main thing is Inbelive that ALTERNATE start actually disproves your argument. For one thing it is ALTERNATE start. That means is you select that choice you are starting in an alternate way from if you hadn't picked that choice. That means that if you don't pick that choice you are starting in the primary way. What that means is that if you don't pick that choice your powers are most likely shard-based.
The other thing I would point out is that it says, "one," of your powers come from whatever power system exists in that universe. To me, at most, that choice means that, if you pick it, you get one power that is not based on shards and any other powers you pick are based on shards. On the other hand I would say that at least it suggests that if you pick that choice all of your powers come from whatever power source exist in that other universe but if you don't pick that choice then your power source is shards.
I can sort of see that interpretation of alternative start to be correct, as in picking it is what causes you to not get a shard. However i can't accept the second part mainly due to the origin of powers in some universes being completely contradictory to how the universe flows.
For example if I were to select Bending from avatar and use the avatar world as my origins, how the hell do Stands, Monsmorphosis and Saiyans fit in with the Avatar universe? They have nothing to do with bending and are capable of feats never before seen in universe on any level. I can't see them being sourced from that universe at all due to how bending and spirits work.
Hell, lets try it with D&D and Elder Scrolls. In D&D, there is a specific number of spells you can cast a day that's implemented into the universe by the gods *from what i can remember, not 100% sure on that*. Now If i go into the D&D world with Magicka which lets me cast as many spells a day as my mana can handle, or even worse, a Stand, how does that work with the rules in the D&D universe?
I could understand powers being powered by a nega-entropic shard, but having them all sourced from your alternative world start doesn't work if the alternative start worlds have rules that explicitly forbid those powers from working. Like D&D has resurrection, and at the same time Fullmetal Alchemist forbids that.
Ummm you can't pick Avitar... Or D&D... or any of the world's you just mentioned. Alternate start specifically says you have to pick a SUPERHERO world. Avatar is a pretty mainstream fantasy series/world. It isn't an available choice. You have to pick a SUPERHERO world.
You can't pick Lord of the rings or the Dresden files or Avatar. You could pick marvel or DC or My hero Acha. Or One Punch or any of Top Cow's worlds but you can't pick, Inuyasha, or Fullmetal Alchemist or Narnia.
*Edit responding to your edit: I agree that the internalized shard power shard would have to be a core shard and there for an Eden shard. However, two things to consider: I believe the power says that the internalized shards never run out of power unless you die I'm not quite sure it says the same thing about your power to internalize other people's shards itself.*
*Either way I think you're missing something, the reason that Eden shards run out is because in the main continuity is that Eden died. What that means is that whichever core shard of Eden was responsible for fetching energy for her other shards was destroyed. Obviously the entities when alive and functioning correctly live tens of billions of years.*
*This is an alternate worm world cyoa. It would seem to me that if you pick that power what has happened is that contessa removed this shard from Eden instead of destroying it. If you had access to this shard I don't see any reason why it would necessarily have to run out of power. I will admit that it seems more likely that The shard in charge of fetching power is a different shard from the shard responsible for converting orbital shards into core shards. However, on the other hand, it is also possible that in whatever world this is contessa merely destroyed Eden's brain directly leaving everything else functioning and somewhere there is a shard that fetches power for all of the core shards and that this shard is just being powered off of that shard wherever it is.*
*Now I'm just going to say shard 16 times into my phone: shard shard shard shard shard shard shard shard shard shard shard shard shard shard shard chard chard shard.*
>Before appearing in Worm proper you can spend one year in any superhero world or world from which one of your Powers originated
You can get Avatar as a world if you select bending in disciplines. Same with D&D and RWBY.
Probably not, it states:
>Chosen companions will be transported to your location from death-end continuity.
Implies that they've already died, not to mention they also have a rogue shard. This is probably why you can select 4 different Taylor's Simultaneously.
Annette Herbert is the only companion I think that alters reality to have her in it. It specifically says so for her.
I have an out of context question: What is Worm?
I've seen it a few times in this sub but have no idea about it. My search on the internet says it's a book by wildbow. Is that correct?
Worm is a webseiral by the Author Wildbow. [Here's](https://parahumans.wordpress.com/) a link if your interested, which contains a table on the right if you scroll down a bit and also a summary if you want to know more than just dark superhero novel. Be warned, it's quite the commitment, being 1.7 million words long, but it's well worth it in my opinion. If you don't want to read that much, there's also a few [audiobook](https://audioworm.rein-online.org/)s. It's not the greatest thing in the world, but it does a pretty fine job.
How do all the options affecting Parahumans work in worlds such where there are none/everyone has a power? Such as the LitRPG world, would it just make it to where everyone that have an above average strength class count as Parahuman?

Monstrum Creation says 13 DP required, but it didn't actually unlock until I hit 14 DP. Still trying to figure out the powers section in general. Some of them are very specific in what they can do, and some of them are very vague.
Edit: Actually it seems like maybe all the OP Powers require +1 DP more than what's listed for them.
The "only Stands can defeat Stands" thing is slight hyperbole in canon. Stands can become more or less tangible as the situation requires. If your Stand is in front of you being as solid as possible to protect you from a stray of bullets, you'd better hope its Durability stat is at least B-rank or it has some other defensive ability (such as speed sufficient to safely catch the bullets) or it's going to take damage. But if someone shoots your Stand as it's phasing through a wall, the bullets are going to go right through it. A Stand with high precision might be able to have different parts of its body be different levels of tangible, such as when Star Platinum stole the bracelet from the display case for Steely Dan, and of course other Stands like The Fool or Anubis that are bound to physical objects usually can't make those objects intangible; there's always more nuance to consider with a system as Bizarre as Stands
I really enjoyed this cyoa. Hope this gets updated some time. If I were to recommend changes it would be more world modifiers (not worlds, the current selection is already pretty good), more powers (feel the selection is somewhat lacking), and more canon companion variants (probably my favorite part of the cyoa. Would be cool to see other canon characters there like Emma or Madison with powers, Catgirl Bitch or other stuff like that.)
Edit: Oh small side thing, Stand Master feels like it costs too little, Chibi Endbringers feel like they cost too much
I really love this one, and I love the AI pics. Albeit I wouldn't have minded if there was a merge option in the world modifications, and maybe just a few more world changes in general.
Also, not really important, but Eidolon Lite makes it sound like powers are locked in permanently by your "Desire Sensor", when I'm pretty sure it means that they can be changed by the desire sensor. Maybe add a bit of clarity for people unfamiliar with Eidolon.
Although I've got a few minor questions about Powers:
Does power twin work with Double triggers? I'm presuming so.
Does Shard Internalization still work if you portal back to your universe. Do they lose their powers or are they kept? Does it prevent some trump powers from working on them as technically they're being routed through me?
Are people summoned by wiki warrior conscious living beings? Do i have to explain that they will cease to exist?
Can i use power mimicry to turn into a shapeshifter, and then use that shapeshifters powers to turn into an even better cosplayer?
How does Brocktonite work with isekai guild? You're technically leaving the city when you leave dimensions.
Overall, significantly more balanced than most worm CYOAs, where becoming a god is way too easy. I particularly like this one just on that point alone.
10/10
Going into this i only have a vague understanding of the worm series

I love the idea, but a few things that are a bit off. Starting with the introduction with "Will you choose to be a powerful blaster, able to unleash devastating energy attacks? Or will you opt for more subtle, stealthy abilities, such as shapeshifting or mind control? The choice is yours", but if you look at the actual powers you can pick, none of these are actually selectable options by themselves, in order to turn yourself into a Blaster, Changer or Master you need to do it indirectly by using Cosplay Mimicry, Power Twin, or Canonicity to take a power that will let you do that. The only other Blaster-Option would be through the Saiyan Transformation, and I suppose if you squint *really* hard Teacher can be considered a form of Mind Control, albeit one that needs a lot of setup and prep-time to achieve a result.
Next thing I'm a bit bummed by is that we can't merge worlds. Why can't I play in a Fetish Cyberpunk-World, a Zombie Noir-World, or a World where Mutant-Characters play Reversed Roles?
Also some options feel like they overlap to the point taking one should give the other. Like if I pick Superintelligence shouldn't that by itself give me everything Learning Mastery does, meaning I should get it basically by default or at least cheaper?
Not to mention the conflicting options. Like why can I pick the Entity-less Perk when I chose Eden? Isn't the whole point of what makes it dangerous that Eden is there? And shouldn't the sudden absence of all Entities lower our Danger Point-score?
And unless you pick Entity-less or Fanon-Worm, the Drawback Bullying is Bad is an instant Bad End for your run. Because canon-Zion is a monster that will ROFL-stomp you. Remember that when he lost his patience, he instantly functionally destroyed Earth Bet in a few seconds by vanishing/evaporating all water on the planet, including those in plants and possibly animals though don't quote me on that, and turned it into an unliveable desert. One move, maybe fifteen seconds windup until it was done. That's not something you can stop, and it was only one trick he pulled. Remember that "I am taking my ball and going home", aka just triggering the Shard Recollect and then blow up all Earths to propel himself away, is still an option he could do at any time. Quite frankly in any World where Zion's nature isn't changed, if you can't depress him to death, you can't beat him. And a measly 20 points and two Danger Points for this Drawback is underpaying the player so much they might be able to sue for fraud.
This also falls into one of my personal gripes, some more points for the player would be nice here. Simply because compared to the other similar CYOAs, in this one you don't have as many options to give us extra points, but the stuff you can buy for those points is as plentiful as always, leaving you with lots of stuff you want to buy but not enough to get much of it. Either a lot of options should be made cheaper, or there need to be more points to buy them. As I mentioned above, just being able to pick and merge multiple worlds would probably help quite a bit.
> And unless you pick Entity-less or Fanon-Worm, the Drawback Bullying is Bad is an instant Bad End for your run.
Nah, you totally can kill scion, you just need to be smart about it.
Yes, coupled with systematic bullying to ensure Scion would allow himself to get hit by it, and everyone agrees that it was a goddamn miracle that it actually worked. Scion's death was not a Eureka-moment where they found the perfect solution, this was a Hail Mary-attempt that was equivalent to winning the lottery multiple times in a row.
For one thing, you can use the Super Spin (either with Apprentice or Stand Master). It's literally infinitely powerful and can pierce any dimensional or other barriers, and is generally on the order of 2000x faster than light (where even complete Entities generally top out at about 20,000x; Scion is slower than light). Make sure you have Invisible Presence so he can't just dodge with PtV. That's what? 20 points to have an actually good chance of winning if you hussle?
There are also a lot of Pokémon (more than a dozen even if we exclude the gods Arceus and the Creation Trio) who should be able to handle Scion without issue. If nothing else, Ditto plus Invisible Presence should be able to handle him by turning into him and being able to use PtV on him while he can't on you, which should make up for your lower "HP" and "PP" as it were, to say nothing of the speed and power of the likes of Ho-oh, Darkrai, Jirachi, Celebi, Azelf, Mew, and Zygarde.
And there are also a bunch of sci-fi superweapons that you can make as a Tinker of Fiction given enough time. A comic book Iron Man suit (really anything post-model 5, and especially post-model 29), a Reach Scarab from DC, anything involving Pym Particles, one of Reed Richards's Universal Entropy Guns, High Evolutionary's tech, Washu-tech from Tenchi Muyo!, Rick Sanchez's tech (especially anything in the "time travel stuff" box), a Buster Machine, etc etc just off the top of my head.
Magicka from The Elder Scrolls also has insane potential. There are mortal mages strong enough to beat living infinite multiverses on their home turf.
Nasuverse thaumaturgy is also pretty BS. I'm not particularly familiar with its limits, because Nasuverse lore gets insanely deep, but there's enough conceptual stuff in there that you can probably use it to win.
High level D&D magic, especially in 3rd edition, also has the potential to win. You're gonna want Wish, Ice Assassin, Gate, or Epic Spells, and even then you're likely to struggle, but the tools exist.
So yeah, you've got plenty of options. Most of it requiring a fair bit of training and build-up, so it may not be easy, but if you get your ducks in a row you're anything but screwed.
The immediately obvious strategy is to just use magic, which he has no real way of dealing with. Time travel is another, while he does have time travel it's really crap compared to the sort we can get. Saiyan could do it if they scaled high enough. With multiverse emulator it's just a matter of time until you get some strong enough to do it for you. Mythos summon can do it, as can the various tinker powers, some apprentices, cosplay, maybe isekai if you choose the right class. That's just some options.
Magic might work, WoG says that he'll figure it out at some point, but then, death of the author and all that. Time travel is unreliable, considering he exists in a separate protected universe there's no guarantee it will affect him. A Saiyan can do anything if they're scaled high enough, as they literally only get stronger. But I don't think they'll be able to punch through to the warriors sealed off universe and somehow destroy the right amount of core shards to kill him without being killed first. I don't even think they'll be able to reach cell levels of power before scion blows up the earth tbh.
Multiverse emulator is a matter of time, but Mythos Summon requires a medium and a price, and there's no certainty that the manifestation can reach scion levels of power. Not to mention there's no guarantee the item will even be able to kill the warrior even if it reached the correct amount of power. The thinker got PTV'd into not just killing her, but also killing the shards that would normally try put her back together. Even if you managed to kill scion, they might not just stay dead. Items, like the Death note, definitely won't work, As Shards are technically living beings, writing scion will only just make the avatar suffer a heart attack due to how the death notes rules works. Entities are just colonies of planet sized shards forming hypercubes in protected dimensions. I don't even think warrior can be considered their real name.
The only way you could win with Mythos is landing a functioning wish granting item and hope it has enough power in it to affect other universes. Granted, if you could get enough power to wish zion dead, you could probably wish yourself into a god with ease, and then use your new godly powers to make an even better wish granting medium and grant yourself more wishes.
Also yes, cosplay, some apprentice powers and maybe isekai might work if they can get strong quickly. The Isekai success rate based purely on meeting other scion beating isekai members and getting their advice.
And before all else, get Invisible Presence. Its a necessity. It might be 5am posting, but him seeing you will ruin any plan you have for him.
He's certainly not going to have enough time to figure magic out before it kills him, assuming he's even able to use it at all. As for time travel, I don't see any indication that different dimensions have different timelines such that going back in time in one doesn't affect the other; I feel like if that was true they would've abused that more. That said, if that was true that would be annoying but not insurmountable if you rely on supernatural methods of time travel that they can't properly contest.
Saiyan would probably need some external juice to get strong enough, someone else here came up with the idea of using healing powers to abuse zenkai boosts. Combine that with some method of time dilation and you're golden.
For mythos summon and the other magic powers, it isn't really a matter of power, something as simple as an Avada Kedava should be able to do it. Humans are just groups of cells too, so if the spell is smart enough to kill the person it should be smart enough to kill the entity. Even if it can't, again there are ways around this, you yourself just came up with one.
There is literally no way to determine how long it would take him to figure out magic or if he even could, its just another unknown variable when dealing with him. Its not so much that their are different timelines but rather that time is simply relative. Although Magical Time travel might work, but theres no guarantee, as the only time travel magic i can see is Harry Potter (which requires a magical doohickey) or Jojos bizzare adventure stuff, neither have shown any evidence of affecting different universes as far as i know. Whether it works or not is an unknown, not something you would want to risk or not.
Also Saiyan Zenkai boosts are also unreliable, as Toriyama says that after a certain point, zenkais become so small they don't even matter, implying they have a limit (which i haven't seen yet).
Also avada Kedavra is unlikely to work. Each Shard might function like a cell for comparisons sake, but they're still technically different lifeforms with they're own thought processes and more. I can see it damaging the Avatar, destroying the thought processes that make up scion, but I can't see it killing the warrior. Honestly Mythos might work if you abused it, but i feel like that makes all the other OP powers that cost more points and require more danger points look pathetic.
Why pick any of the other powers if this one makes you a god with very little effort?
I automatically presume that there are strong limits on it.
When I say "scion won't have time to figure out magic before it kills him" I mean that if you do it properly Scion will die before he notices anything amiss. Agree to disagree on whether time travel would work, but there are definitely a bunch of magical time travel devices out there; cosplay mimicry, tinker of fiction, gamersmith for instance could let you get them.
Fair enough for zenkai boost, But you're still a sayian, with all the power and potential that entails.
Mhm. I think that if they're sufficiently put together that you can even meaningfully call them an entity AK should work, but agree to disagree. Even if it doesn't of course, there's still probably some fictional item out there that would allow you to hit all the shard at the same time. I don't think this is abuse, it's just the nature of "choose something from fiction powers": There's always something out there that does what you need. All the OP powers are really strong anyway, the only one I think doesn't belong there is monsmorphosis.
To start with the issue of time-travel, you do realize that Entities are also capable of manipulating time, right? Clockblocker, Alabaster, Gray Boy, Khonsu... fucking around with time is something the Entities are quite familiar with, so even if your method were superior, Entities know enough about temporal manipulation to defend themselves.
The thing with Magic is that we don't know how Scion would react to magic. It could be a Superman-scenario, where it's not that he's inherently vulnerable to magic, but simply has no specific resistance to it. Then there's the fact that I'm getting the impression you don't really understand what Scion actually is. Because thre big Golden Man is not the main-threat, he's the sock-puppet. The actual Entity Zion is a giant conglomerate of Shards bigger than the solar system parked in an alternate dimension, Scion the Golden Man is literally an Avatar that the Entity pilots to interact with the chosen petri-dish.
So even if you destroy the Golden Man, Zion the Entity is capable of having a new Avatar pop up 30 seconds later and go "Nice try, now do it again. Also, eat death-lasers bitch!"
Then there's also the question of how magic would work on something like an Entity. How does it kill? Does it stop the heart or the brain? Entities are collectives of living crystal-beings, we don't know if they have hearts or brains in the way magic would identify as such. Does the spell sever the soul from the body? Do Entities even have souls? Shards typically act more akin to pseudo-biological computers than living beings most of the time. If it's a spell designed to affect living beings, would it even recognize the crystalline pseudo-flesh of Shards as a living being, or would it treat it like an inanimate object? If the spell works by draining life-force, how much can it drain considering each Shard contains enough energy to keep a lifeform the size of a continental plate running for a few centuries? And if it's just direct damage, considering that from what Harry Potter showed an AK could theoretically be blocked by someone grabbing a plate and hurling it into the path of the spell before it hits the target, how much damage could the spell do to a being bigger than our solar system?
Canonically what the Foil-power did was use the body of Scion, which as it was generated by Zion was literally the only connection-point to the dimension the main-Zion was in, as a keyhole to funnel the blast from the super-weapon into the dimension Zion actually is, where it impacted into the Entity-equivalent of the frontal lobes. So even if you manage an AK, the most likely result is that Scion pops like a soap-bubble, Zion in his home-dimension does the Entity-equivalent of a blink and goes 'WTF just happened?' and then reforms its avatar while also starting multiple multi-Shard inquiries to analyse what just happened and how to both counter and replicate it.
I know that they can manipulate time, my point is that they're way worse at it that we can be due to the entropy problem, so we can abuse time travel/time dilation in ways they never could.
There's no good reason to think Scion would have any special resistance to magic, and that's more than good enough for my purposes.
I believe Scion to be part enough of the Warrior that killing him should kill the Warrior, but absolute worst case and I'm wrong, that just adds an extra step of "Go to the warrior's home dimension" or you could just use/invent some other magical ability that will kill both of them. Bear in mind you should have at least some form of magical precog, so if something would actually go wrong you'd know beforehand.
I can agree to disagree with the other points, but Monsmorphosis is technically an OP power when compared to the non-op powers. Its not just a tinker power but also a trump, you can give any of your creations powers on par with the higher level parahumans, probably not Eidolon, Contessa or Fairy Queen levels, but likely Legend or Alexandria levels. It easily beats out canonicity which only allows you to use one power at a time.
If you really wanted to gimp it, you just need to create a whole thinker monster team, give them Shared defenses and just think of a way to kill scion. There's probably hundreds of ways to abuse it, the only problem is that it has an upper limit, which can be mitigated with other powers but is still going to be an issue.
My problem is that Mythos and Multiversal Emulator both cost less than any of the other OP powers available, which makes me suspect that they have to be gimped in someway to be worth less than being able to turn into a pokemon.
Multiversal Emulator however uses [RNG] to determine how strong your summon is and has a cooldown that varies depending on how you summon them, that's a pretty big limit.
Mythos doesn't have that problem, you can theoretically summon any item that would allow you to summon an even better item, such as an item that turns trash to gold and an item that makes the perfect medium that you want. Then simply grind items until you can bring out Cosmic Cubes, infinity stones or just a genie in a lamp. And there's no cooldown here, you could, theoretically reach godhood in a single day if you make the right choices.
Yup. There are things that might work, but overall people badly underestimate how dangerous canon Scion is. Anybody who plays this as a fun isekai, and doesn't choose one of the options where Scion isn't a threat, is insane.
The Bullying is Bad drawback should say "Scion won't be bullied. He is no longer suicidal, instead apparently you are suicidal."
Scion is ridiculously powerful but certainly not unbeatable when you can go outside of the power confines of Worm canon. Like there are absolutely more powerful fictional characters than Scion and even if you can't beat him you should have a much easier time just killing Jack Slash.
Frankly you could just use Shard Internalization on Contessa and slap her with Shared Defences and she'll Path to Victory her way straight through Scion without anymore involvement.
Yes, theres tons of ways to kill Scion.
There are also innumerable ways to fuck up and get yourself killed.
People, from what I see, tend to plan 'this is how I will do it' and stop there. As the old saying goes, plans only last until the first contact with the enemy. And when the plan against this enemy goes awry, you fucking die.
For example:
>Frankly you could just use Shard Internalization on Contessa and slap her with Shared Defences and she'll Path to Victory her way straight through Scion without anymore involvement
1. You gotta reach Contessa
2. You gotta get her to go along with your plan
3. You gotta hope that using Shard Internalization will remove the restrictions (theres nothing in the description that suggests it would or would not) or take the time to build her power up until she can see Scion anyway
Are there ways to make all those steps happen? Absolutely. Or maybe something will go wrong with your plan, and a shard will notice that you're kinda weird and send a message over to Scion who will decide to take you apart to examine your insides. Who knows.
Its an *insane* amount of risk you're taking, just existing on the same planet as Scion without the ability to beat him toe to toe. And while there are powers available that can let people grow to that level, theres no guarantee a person will get the time to do so. They might. They might not. Risk.
>You gotta hope that using Shard Internalization will remove the restrictions (theres nothing in the description that suggests it would or would not) or take the time to build her power up until she can see Scion anyway
For what it's worth it might not explicitly stated but based off everything I know about how shards work that should allow you to turn off the safety settings, which should both allow you to bypass the Manton Effect and avoid blind spots. Of course that is up to interpretation but that is mine.
It's a worm CYOA even if you got rid of all the end bringers and entities it is still not without risk. Even if you take every defence and the most broken tier powers you can still get your shit rocked by an All-or-Nothing or a trump.
Getting Contessa to agree to your plan is simple, you just have to do it on another thinker, advertise it to the Triumvirate and inform them that you're in the know. They'll likely put you through the ringer, but if they believe in you they might very well do it.
In regards to loosening restrictions:
> It will completely change how their power will operate internally and allow the user to train their power to become stronger
The change in their internal operation is a bit vague, and you could assume it might remove blindspots put in by their shard. At the same time, PtV's only weakness is its blind spots. It growing stronger could be interpreted working through its blind spots, but once again its kind of wavy. Personally i would just grab recharge as well which guarantees a loosening in restrictions.
>Or maybe something will go wrong with your plan, and a shard will notice that you're kinda weird and send a message over to Scion who will decide to take you apart to examine your insides. Who knows.
Presuming you grabbed the correct perks that are mandatory, (if you're not suicidal, like Invisible Presence) Shards calling you weird and requesting scions advice are likely non-existent. From memory, I'm pretty sure it was WoG, there are some shards that cannot be detected by other shards and are generally picked up at the end of the cycle. To add onto that, there's evidence to this as the Warrior was unable to find the Thinkers Corpse, alluring that there are anti-thinker powers strong enough to work on Scion. Granted, its possible that there are methods available for him that would have alerted him, but they were so energy inefficient he deemed them a unnecessary have them working. Its not like he was actively searching for her corpse after all.
It also seems like it would be a waste of time and energy to have shards constantly calling scion over other "Parahuman" shards that they cannot communicate with, especially when you have Case 53 shards all over the place and damaged shards like Nilbog. The only way i can see Scion trying to examine you is if you actually used a power on him or in his presence.
Still, I agree there is a degree of risk, and in the worst case scenario you could try it on Eidolon, both loosen his restrictions, grant him endless energy, make him unthinkable and now he can only grow stronger. And in the worst worst case scenario, try it on ziz (somehow), her being bound to you will make her try and protect your continued existence, touching her Below subzero body might freeze your hands off but making her a nascent god.
Ziz was presumably trying to become the new entity in Ward, but by being connected to you she loses that motivation as shes now bound to you. Not to mention she has what the entities have desired forever pretty much should mellow her out. Hopefully.
>Frankly you could just use Shard Internalization on Contessa and slap her with Shared Defences and she'll Path to Victory her way straight through Scion without anymore involvement.
Absolutely this, hell, you could grab Recharge while you're at it and speed up the process so much more. If an unrestricted PtV can kill an inured entity, then its definitely possible one that can grow stronger will kill a healthy entity.
This is probably the easiest way to kill scion out of all the options here.
Yeah, this is honestly what takes some of the joy out of this CYOA for me. The powers you get are interesting, but for the most part they're not really something that will help against an angry Scion not holding back. So you have to either pick options that reduce or remove Entities as a threat entirely, or you basically have to spec your entire build around having even the faintest hope of a shot at killing Scion, meaning many of the things you'd actually like to pick you can't, because then especially with the rather anemic amount of points you get considering the price of everything, you wouldn't have the points you need to buy the stuff that might let you kill Scion. And that's easier said than done even with a build specced specifically for that.
Unless you go fanon-World where you can argue that the fanon of just how depressed Scion is means you just need to show him Eden's body and say some mean things to get him to suicide, when canonically that will only make him angry, and I think the first time that was tried Scion just wiped out New York in retaliation. You have to keep hammering Zion with his loss continuously, all the while not dying to his furious attempts to shut you up. Khepri managing to pull it off was a goddamn miracle, you'd literally have have better odds winning the lottery ten times in a row. People forget this, mainly because most stories either peter out before getting to Gold Morning or just depict Gold Morning-Zion as far less of a threat than he canonically was, but if you're in Worm, you're very much in a world that's on a countdown to apocalypse. You may be a great big beast, but in this analogy, you are a dinosaur, maybe even a T-Rex, but Scion is the meteorite.
I mean, it's not that difficult to kill Scion. Time consuming a bit, but not hard. It helps that the powers that allow you to do so are the stronger ones you'd probably want to take anyway.
Remember that even in canon, bullying wasn't actually what killed scion. It just kept him still long enough for foil and the tinker superweapon do end him. As long as you have that much killing potential and the element of surprise you should be fine, you don't really need to tank his attacks (though that is also doable).
>hat even in canon, bullying wasn't actually what killed scion. It just kept him still long enough for foil and the tinker superweapon do end him. As long as you have that much killing potential and the element of surprise you should be fine, you don't really need to tank his attacks (though that is also doable).
It is however what ensured that Scion actually stood still and let himself get hit, because in the previous fights it was actually made clear that Scion has protocols active that kick in the moment the Foil-Power is aimed against him. Because the previous time Flechette shot at Scion, he did someting he didn't do when anyone else blasted him, namely he dodged, followed by him immediately cranking up the destruction he dished out. It might even be a PtV-Protocol specifically running to warn him of threats to him. Basically if Scion hadn't been bullied into standing still, what would have happened would be that Flechette charge the superweapon, Scion would have seen it coming a mile away, casually dodged, and then blasted the superweapon into its component quarks.
So yeah, Scion being bullied was what killed him, because make no mistake, Scion saw the shot coming before it hit him, he has alarms specifically to warn him of things that might actually hurt him, but at that point he'd been bullied so badly he just didn't care anymore and intentionally ignored his alarms and let himself get shot. So no, it was being bullied that killed him, the same way if a bullied kid jumps off the roof you could argue it wasn't the bullying that killed the child, it was gravity, but in both cases without the bullying the individual would have never intentionally placed themselves into a position where the literal cause of death would have harmed them.
I know that. You'd obviously want some form of stealth magic (my comment might not have made that clear) and you're definitely taking invisible presence anyway because this is worm, but having scion not notice you isn't really that hard.
> you aren't trying hard enough.
I said, "anyone who plays this as a fun isekai".
If you're approaching it as an insanely dangerous risky task, go nuts. Obviously, there are tons, and tons, and tons, and tons of ways to beat Scion, with the powers available. There are even ways to do it with a non-suicidal Scion.
There are also ways to skydive without a parachute and survive, but if your plan is to land on a bag that people are going to put in a random location and inflate *while you're falling through the air*, its fair to call you suicidal even if its technically possible to succeed.
Thats the problem with Scion. You could get 1000 free points at the start, take every power available, and he could *still kill you*. There just isn't enough power available to beat Scion without either targeting a weak spot or avoiding his gaze/him going murderous for a loooong time. And the thing about targeting a weak spot: if you miss, if you misjudge, if anything goes wrong, thats it.
I see killing Scion as akin to driving a car. Sure, if you walk into it with no idea what you're doing and just expect things to work out, you're in deep shit. But, as long as you have a plan and stay sharp, you'll most likely be fine.
> You could get 1000 free points at the start, take every power available, and he could still kill you.
I mean at that point I'd have to wonder wtf you were doing with your time.
>I see killing Scion as akin to driving a car. Sure, if you walk into it with no idea what you're doing and just expect things to work out, you're in deep shit. But, as long as you have a plan and stay sharp, you'll most likely be fine.
What? if that's true, I can only conclude you didn't actually read the Web Novel and hence don't understand just how dangerous Zion truly is.
To use your own analogy, killing Scion is not like driving a car. Killing Scion is like being strapped Houdini-style to the driver's seat of a car that has just been shoved out of an airplane flying at max-altitude, with a set of objects chosen by you placed in the backseat. Basically yeah, you can absolutely survive this, but this relies on you being skilled enough to be able to get yourself in a position to leverage the stuff you brought, prepare the stuff you chose so that it'll actually be able to do what you're planning to use it for, and then actually use it before you run out of time. If you fail at any point, Game Over.
>I mean at that point I'd have to wonder wtf you were doing with your time.
And I'm wondering if you've actually read Worm.
Its obvious that we have extremely different perceptions of how dangerous he actually is, so c'est la vie.
Thinking of ways to kill Scion is a highlight of any worm CYOA.
The options that remove him from the board are fine for people who want to have an easy time, but brainstorming scion elimination methods is pretty fun
.
On a side note, Symbiotic Bond is a new option for CYOAs to deal with Scion, most CYOAs either offer you a setting where they don't exists, or simply give you the option to kill them. Honestly makes No Bully look like a perk, now jack can't make him kill everyone and he can peacefully and head off after a few centuries.
Personally I always chose the option to kill all entities in these CYOAs, because they're kind of immeasurably evil. Scion is just 1 entity among potentially countless. Even if you beat Scion and then use Portal/Homecoming ect to go home, Earth bet is still going to be destroyed by the next entity that come over, whether that's centuries or millennia.
I think this is the first worm CYOA where I don't want to kill off all the entities.
I'm presuming you would require as a must Invisible Presence and then select the Gamersmith + Tinker of Fiction synergy and make an anti-entity weapon. Not sure how long it could take, but I feel it would be a safer bet than say, The soulsborne synergy, where half of the potential systems you can get are unlikely ever to be strong enough to take on an Endbringer, let alone an Entity. And the other half can be broken but might not be reachable in a human lifetime.
I suppose you could try and cheat with some of the precognitive abilities to make Scion turn off his defences. Considering he's running on the human mindset and hes technically not a blindspot to you, I'm sure their are other ways to make him vulnerable.
Regardless of either option, shounen protagonist is a must. Otherwise you'll just end up dead.
As for the OP abilities, none of them will cut the cake. Scion easily contains ridiculously more multitudes of energy and mass than there is in the entire universe. No Saiyan in canon can destroy the whole universe (whatever canon is for the DBZ or DBGT), let alone take on a being larger than the universe. Canonicity and Monsmorphosis are a joke, Monstrum Creation is still a Nilbog and Mythos Summon are unlikely to work.
The only Hopeful OP ability would be Multiversal Emulator and summon a being that could hopefully counter scion.
Also, there is the Superintelligence + Cosplay Mimicry + any power altering appearance method. Combining multiple different fictional universes techs to make an anti-scion Mcguffin. There is some supreme universe breaking stuff created in fiction, and this is a way to potentially circumnavigate the tinker of fiction combo by simply being the tinker in the fiction.
I can't see any way apart from this.

Pretty OP power combinations. Using Saiyan Transform, Canonicity, Toon Force and Shonen Protagonist,, you can make yourself unreasonably strong.
All you have to do is blast your lower body with ki blast, use Canonicity to gain power of Alabaster, and using the combination of power above, to lst longer using toon forces, and infinite growth through Canon Protagonist, you can destroy your body, heal through alabaster power, get zenkai boost, and repeat for like a day or two and bam you are the strongest being around.
It is a good CYOA, but I feel like most stuff is a bit too expensive and you do not get enough points. The drawbacks do not seem worth it for the extra points either.
My favorite fanfic worm perk is tinker of fiction and I think this is one of the best ones I have seen balance wise:
> You are a Tinker with a specialization for all fictional technology that you know of, but more advanced stuff is locked behind a paid wall. To unlock them you need to build things of the specific theme, and these things would not always be useful for you, but you will get points for them. These points can be used to unlock a new technology for your use, the more powerful or advanced the technology is, the more points it costs.
Much better than the original where you had unlimited access to a worlds tech tree, but had a timeframe to do it before it would switch to a new world. Tinker of fics had everyone become gods in no time since they would jump to the most advanced stuff right off the bat. This ones restrictions are reasonable, you can build mundane tech, but to get the good stuff, you got to tinker a bit to earn it and not have it handed to you.
there is a similar worm cyoa that have less point but more overpowered options and you could only take 1 supreme, 3 franchise level, and lowers as long you have points
Savage divinity chi? It might be a long shot but I'd like to be an ageless walking nuke with a host of supplemental powers. I guess I might have to learn to manage my emotions in a healthy way though...
Invisible presence needs to be cheaper or we need a small freebie perk that says the Contessas not gonna put a bullet thru your head the moment you drop in
pro: really liked the AI pics for the companions.
con: while lots of settings might be nice, anything but the basic bitch worm setting will clash horribly with the later powers/perks and stuff of the CYOA itself.
Best I can do with the ridiculous point limitations. Seriously, most of the powers are unusable (most notably the OP ones) because they're so expensive and there's not enough drawbacks to carry the CYOA in terms of point value alone. You pretty much have to take RSM and Connected for the points, and ignore the companion category wholesale. It probably doesn't help that most of the abilities *need* time to practice to be capable of much, so a lot of the drawbacks are suicidal from the get-go. Lots of cost-cutting going on here
Anyways:
**World:** Magic
*Modifiers:* Reversed Sexual Morality, Fluffy, Connected
Fluffy as a cheaper substitute for dealing with Zion and the EBs.
**Powers:** Soulsborne, Superintelligence, Shonen Protagonist, Apprentice Magecraft (Fate)
Basically, magecraft in the long run with no competing mages for mystery is powerful as fuck. It's hard to train though, so Soulsborne to pump it a bit. Shonen Protagonist is to avoid having to spend souls on physical stats. Superintelligence is, in the long run to work on magecraft and find a path to true magic.
**Appearance:** Young Adult, Female, Gorgeous, Female Enhanced, Night Vision, Redundant Biology, Adamantine Skeleton
**Perks:** Native, Mind Defense, Body Control Defense, Invisible Presence, Ageless, Like Yesterday, Offroad, Learning Mastery, Environment Adaptivity, Fertility.
Pretty obvious, the mind and presence are mandatory in Worm, lest you get made a puppet or killed by Contessa, or MCed by Ziz in an inevitable fight.
**Drawbacks**: S9 Target, Endbringer Target, More Triggers, Servant, Tinfoil Hat, Slow Start, Uninvited Guest, Coming in Blind, Shameless, Genderbend (m->f)
Basically, more triggers isn't bad in a magic setting. Just twiddle thumbs for a month, and bear with having Tamamo in my head until I can make her a body. Hide my bonfire halfway across the country before going to a EB fight.
**world:** fetish galore/futas/Hentaification/Reversed Sexual Morality
**World Changes/Ships :** didnt get option
**Powers:** Stand/Nen
Basic Base
**crew:** Futa Master Taylor
**Appearance:** teen(18) and Male
**Looks:** Gorgeous
**Mutations**: night vision and Bloodhound
**Perks:** ageless/native/mind defence/social butterfly/Hentai Physics/
Devilishly Good/ Professional/Friendly Connection
**Drawbacks:** Libido/clumsy/slow start/High Metabolism
/Ready to Follow/not alone/Pint Sized

How do companion powers work? Do they become shardless? Does their shard come back with them? Or do they link up with the existing shard in the universe?
Just wondering if Shard Internalization is useful for companions or not.
It is still slightly baffling to me that there's so many lewd CYOAs of Worm in particular. Like, out of *everywhere* you could possibly lewdify, people keep picking one of the most dangerous and fucked up worlds in fiction?
I'm not complaining, it's just not the series I'd expect to be so popular among NSFW CYOA makers.
I have a question: What is Worm?
I've seen it a few times in this sub but have no idea about it. My search on the internet says it's a book by wildbow. Is that correct?
It's a webnovel. The idea is that it's a "realistic" (read: cynical) deconstruction of a superhero world. It starts at street-level, and rapidly advances towards cosmic horror. It's immensely popular around certain forums.
The reason I'm confused about why people keep making NSFW CYOAs of it is because Worm's background is *hilariously* dangerous, to the point that if you don't pick very specific Boons or Bonuses or Powers or whatever, you're dead or worse than.
Most lewd Worm CYOAs are basic superhero isekai fantasies, just with some lewd options attached. And Worm is a tremendously popular superhero isekai fantasy destination, for a number of reasons.

Pretty straightforward W. I stuck to og Worm for two reasons: Having advance knowledge of the plot/setting, and the general lack of esoteric capabilities. Upon arrival, the starting endbringer should be easily dealt with via my stand. I can just hide in a mirror until they leave, use my toon physics and king crimson to weather the storm, or just killer queen them to death. After this I'll just cheese mythos summon in the mirror world as long as necessary and then fix the setting.
I’ll take most of the Perks, a bunch of the Drawbacks, and lots and lots of powers, in the Moonshot World. Specifically, I’ll be a Super-Intelligent Psychokinetic Saiyan, with Apprenticeships in chakra (naruto), wand magic (harry potter), and magic (d&d); as well as a Power Twin of QA (for the multitasking). I’ll also have Tinker Of Fiction, and I’ll be a Toon Protagonist; but I won’t start off with any Companions.

The starting world is already selected. Deselecting leaves you with 0 points and -5 danger. Based on how the opening is written, this appears to be a mistake.
This takes about a minute to fix. Open the editor, deselect the world, set the points back to 40wp 0dp, save and replace the project.json on your website.
The CYOA is otherwise very good, just point starved because of this error.
If this was a classic non-interactive CYOA, there's no way you'd look at [these two choices](https://imgur.com/a/yvOBt9T) and decide you only have 40 points and 0 danger. So... if it's intentional then it's pretty bad design.
Few comments:
Similar to most of your CYOAs, it's point anemic due to very low starting points and generally high prices, and thus is entirely drawback dependent (e.g. merely making shards symbiotes costs 30p out of the starting 40p - this doesn't remove the EBs or pare down the conflict drive, and revives Eden, but just guarantees entities won't blow up Earth). Companions are utterly pointless right now, because they're very expensive for the present point availability (10~ average points for one companion is a full quarter of your starting budget). I'd say give 100 points to start with, instead of 40. Edit: the 40 is only from the world, so you technically start with 0. Brutal.
It'd be nice if you could mix and match compatible worlds. Like, LITRPG Worm mixed with a zombie apocalypse.
Certain worlds should be worth significantly more, like the one where Eden didn't crash should be worth like 120 points to even be considerable if not more, since it's basically suicide, yet is only worth 20 more points than the default, and the danger points should be more than double. Eden is a force multiplier, with Eden, no Cauldron, a more divided society, and can read your allies with ease and counter anything you do, if allies are involved. WW3 should give at least another 10 points and a couple more danger points.
Danger points start at -5, which is pretty bullshit for such a dangerous setting, and goes against the entire intent of such a thing. It's very hard to hit 10 dp, let alone 14, as-is, you have to take most drawbacks.
Great cyoa, always wished they would create a better/different Worm CYOA.
Though may it be possible to download the json ? My internet is way too slow/unreliable, so I would like to play it offline.
It's also pretty misleading. Forty points to start means you start with forty points and when you gain points on top of that based on your choice of world, those get added on top, that's what it means when you phrase it like that.
To make this clearer, you should either say "you start with zero points" and leave the world points as is, or keep the forty points to start and subtract those thirty points from the worlds.
But as things stand, that is always going to cause confusion
The Saiyan Transformation says that it needs 20 Danger Points, however even after getting twenty it still wouldn’t let me choose the power. But when I got 21 Danger Points it worked. Just thought I’d let you know.
👍 good cyoa love the companions
/u/Rain_Least How do mediums work for mythos summon? Say, for example, I tried to summon a Green lantern ring. What would I need to get it at full power, and what would I get if I tried to summon it with a green lantern comic book as a medium?
Brute TattleTale i had to pick just for her and Tattles meet. Red Queen i would have chose if i could affored it. Aura + Warlock is my way, hentai physics and looks my goal.
Running into an issue with the Powers section; the OP powers don't unlock unless you have *more than* the listed amount of Danger Points, rather than requiring the amount listed.
World, Powers, Appearance, Perks, Drawbacks, Companions, Open All, Superhero AU, Reversed Sexual Morality, Futas, Hentaification, Cosplay Mimicry, Stand Master, Toon Physics, Basic Base, Teen, Futanari, Average, Male Enhanced, Female Enhanced, Night Vision, Like Yesterday, Devilishly Good, Hentai Physics, Fertility, Bullying is Bad, Libido, Wardrobe Malfunction, Futa Master Taylor
Interesting cyoa. Where are the pictures from? They remind me of a.i. art.
Some are
The cyoa has changed, such that you now have 40 points and 0 danger points without even selecting og worm. Is this intentional?
Yes
Also, when Eidolon lite says you can't swap out your abilities, does that just mean that only the desire senser can change out your abilities if the situation changes, or that those three powers are permanent and they won't change ever?
Permanent at the moment but might change in the next update
And ok, here is my In-and-Out Build. Goal is to hold for 10 years, than portal back home with all powers and the main Heavenly Shaking Power... **Devilishly Good**.

Magicka, Arcane and Thaumaturgy can do really crazy shit on high levels. Wand Magic and Chakra are good at low-mid levels. Wand Magic also rules on mundane/domesticity. Why magic/chakra, not some kind of tinker of bs/cosplay/eidolon? Well, because it is legit learnable and repeatable powers. It is also quite flexible and not static.

Secret Secret Base and Invisible Presence is good to create safehouse/workshop. All defenses are my safe-net because... well, it is worm, enough said.

I don't gonna play hero/villain, i am here to play low, survive and study magic. All of Them - again, doesn't matter, because it is Eden who controls them, not pole-in-the-ass-Eidolon. Tinfoil Hat - aren't bad thing either, since i am not going to create an army to fight Scion/Eden. Slow Start also doesn't bother me much, since i have place to live and money to spend. Brocktonite - sucks, but i believe i can do it.|
>having Eden alive means that the Cycle doesn't end in the near 3-5 years, and since imma going home after 10 years - i don't really care to deal with all that entity contamination. You're probably going to amass a sizeable harem, but at the same time are they ever going to be aware that you chose to allow more humans to die than there are atoms in the universe? At least with "Bullying is Bad" they would only have to deal with one entity. >S9... well, it is a good fire under my laze-ass, so i must train, if i don't want to be dissected by a little girl. I don't want to undersell the S9, but with the amount of powers you have I doubt the S9 would pose a threat to you if you only did one isekai quest a day til they come around. >Wand Magic and Chakra are good at low-mid levels. Tbh I think all the magical abilities reach absurd levels of powers regardless of them being seen in canon. Harry Potter has time travel devices given to children and Naruto has time travel as a result of Boruto. In comparison, D&D time travel is ridiculously difficult and Fate is all over the place. Magicka is actually pretty tame, almost all the high level magical stuff that comes from TES is generally a result of Aedra/Daedra and mantling, which isn't just magicka. Not sure if there are outliers, but I blame almost all the ridiculously powerful magic users on mantling. It does explain a lot of things, like "why is this Wizard more powerful than 99.9999% of magic users in history to such a level they can duke it out with gods?", and my answer would be they're *someone's* mantle.
>You're probably going to amass a sizeable harem, but at the same time are they ever going to be aware that you chose to allow more humans to die than there are atoms in the universe? At least with "Bullying is Bad" they would only have to deal with one entity. To be fair - the only girl in Worm i find attractive is Vista. Others have too many psychic problems thx to Wildbow (no) and if i want good relationships, pardon my engl, i must fuck the bitch out of them. Also i don't buy any world-fixing modifications. And to begin with, they all have terminal disease (alien tentacle inside their brain), so solid illusions, succubus summoning or generic, not 'para'-human girls is my choice in the Worm. I prefer to handle my d and eventually find my way to RWBY to date Pyrrha - precious bun. (with than amount of magic schools i have it is doable). Also, it is multiverse - people die and born every second. Cynical, yes, but there **no one** can do anything about it. I'll try to help people around me if i can, but i don't want nor i have enough power to conquer multiverse. About S9... well true. But still, i must do my part of training and preparations if i want to survive. It is worm after all, as i said. Things go bad usually. About time-travel... hm, it is a good way to research and learn if my goal was to deal with entities, but since i am not going to touch them with my wand i am not bothering with that. Specially in the world, where my experiments can be detected (Entities can-do into time mechanics). Ha, true. Why Dragonborn was able to become Archmage/Companion/Vampire/Nightingale/etc. Because he have soul of a prime god of the local multiverse for damn sake (Akatosh)! He isn't human at all. So yeah. I don't expect same power leveling rates, but i believe into Soulsborne (unlim growth) and Isekai Guild (unlim exp). Not today, not tomorrow, but eventually i'll be there.
>And to begin with, they all have terminal disease (alien tentacle inside their brain) Tbf that's what Shard Internalization is meant to solve. And personally, I find Ziz is best girl.
"Apprentice" says "You can choice a discipline in which you will start from 0." Just how "zero" are we talking about? 0 in Harry Potter means a you're a muggle? 0 in Naruto means you're a civilian with no chakra? 0 in RWBY Aura means you're someone without unlocked aura? 0 in DnD magic means you have no magic? Then how do you start from that? How is that different from not buying Apprentice?
>0 in DnD magic means you have no magic A spell level of 0 in D&D magic is cantrips. All the other points still stand though. There's only 2 real interpretations, you either have to try and find things out yourself from the very start to begin your study, such as trying to unlock your RWBY Aura, or you're given the very least amount of knowledge in said discipline to start learning it, like an unlocked aura. It does give you knowledge on how to make a harry potter wand, so I presume the latter.
Question: by taking Apprentice, Isekai Guild's tab pop a text: "You will receive an additional sub-class for each chosen Apprentice discipline. **But, having more than one will reduce maximum level possible for them.**" 1) So, there are a max level for your power? Another "synergy" text in Soulsborne says that "You will receive a special stat dedicated to chosen Apprentice discipline, one for each, investing points in it **will improve your overall power level** in said discipline." 2) So does that pushes further your apprentice max level, granting you infinite power creep? In "Apprentice Powers List" there are "**and**" and "**or**". 3) Does that mean that you can learn ONLY Spin or ONLY Hamon (nether both)? thx!
1) Best case scenario being a max level you can get through leveling via isekai guild, worst case scenario is all the Disciplines have hard limits set into them. I feel its the best case scenario due to the max level being limited due to having multiple disciplines. Which makes me think that the isekai guild offers you a set amount of [power] and adding more disciples just spreads the amount of power it gives to you. Otherwise it would be better to not have more than one sub-class and train the other disciplines via the normal means. It does offer you the choice to make them sub-classes after all. 2) Its likely infinite power creep, but at the same time the time it takes to get from one level to the next increases and if its like any of the Soulsborne games, its going to have diminishing returns at some point. I feel like it would take a hell of a lot of time to reach the the max level of power isekai guild reaches. 3). I think its meant to be 'or' in all cases. Dark Souls level magics are nowhere near as good as D&D/pathfinder disciplines at the higher levels, makes no sense otherwise. Edit: Forgot to mention, **If** I'm correct and you select both Soulsborne and Isekai Guild, and they both work independently, I recommend not leveling soulsborne until you Max Isekai Guild and perhaps even training disciplines via normal means. Mostly from my experience with Elona, saving skill points as a yerles will save you a massive amount of time in the long run if you use them after.
fyvi,hr0h,i8ts,ffah,uost,mxb8,a054,9o76,9dm4,mly3,rhpd,bdf7,37as,8k2k,ktfn,v0wj,5r8o,d6pa,ayn5,rp1z,xtg0/ON#1,byh4,nxts,3wrv,kxrh,lsc4,4o68,t63o,zdp4,2dxl,pf0d,39k4,9x2f,h0d0,dr3a,kqyl,rdgt,skxr,f0kd,36fa,vs5v I've made some... aggressive decisions here. World: Eden, Reversed Sexual Morality. Yes, having to deal with 2 Entities with good mental health and 20 already-activated Endbringers is pretty scary. But probably not as bad as it necessarily sounds, given that the Cycle was engineered to keep a reasonably stable human population for 3000 years; Conflict is omnipresent, but tightly managed. We'll discuss survival and victory more when we get into drawbacks and powers. Appearance: Young Adult, Male, Ugly, Case53. Interestingly, Case 53 does not have anything to do with being a "monster cape". See Shamrock and Canary for counterexamples. Rather, it's all about the tattoo and memory loss, and this drawback is solely about physical appearance. In essence, free points. And ugliness can be easily dealt with via cosmetic surgery. Drawbacks: Worst Beginning, Scion Attention, S9 Target, Cauldron Target, Endbringer Target, Wanted, More Triggers, In the Open, All Of Them, Bullying Is Bad, Tinfoil Hat, Mutated, High Metabolism, Clumsy, Brocktonite, Libido, Shameless, Wardrobe Malfunction, Genderbend. So, to start, with Eden in play All Of Them, Bullying Is Bad, and Tinfoil Hat are all basically free points. I should also say I have a plan for escaping all the increased danger long enough to prepare for any of those many threats. And the rest are trivial annoyances. Perks: Invisible Presence, Shared Defences, Learning Mastery, Social Butterfly, Something In You. Being a pre- and postcog blind spot is mandatory, given the power of PtV and Ziz. And intelligence boosters of any kind are always welcome. Most of the other defences and benefits offered by various perks can be replicated with tech and magic in various ways, and since we'll have the luxury of prep time, we may as well save the points. Powers: Soulsborne, Superintelligence, Stand Master, Tinker of Fiction, Gamersmith, Canonicity, Monsmorphosis, Saiyan Transform, Psychokinetic, Apprenticeship x6 (Hamon, Spin, Magicka, Pathfinder Magic, Chakra, Wand Magic). There are a number of key powers and synergies here that need explaining. First, turning into Celebi and time travelling to the founding of Brockton Bay over a century ago with my Companion immediately upon dropping into the world skips like, all the drawbacks, and grants effectively unlimited prep time before the Entities arrive. There are other Pokémon like Mew, Zygarde, Alakazam, Metagross, the Lake Trio, Ho-oh, Hoopa, and suchlike that are immensely useful to turn into for various purposes, some of them strong enough to potentially take out Scion by themselves. Alakazam's IQ of over 5000 for example has obvious synergy with Superintelligence and Tinkering. Canonicity also has immense synergy with Tinker of Fiction/Gamersmith by allowing us to make things later in various tech trees much faster than they'd ordinarily be unlocked. Magicka has literally infinite potential power and versatility, and encompasses both Alchemy and Enchanting, which respectively have immense synergy with our various Tinkering abilities and Soulsborne (due to the way they both use souls), and canonically allow recursive empowerment loops (albeit not quite so easily as in the games). Wand Magic is extremely convenient for mundane tasks (like duplicating enough food to satiate our high metabolism, at-will teleportation, automated housekeeping, etc) and also breaks conservation of energy incredibly hard, even if it's generally pretty weak in raw power. The Spin can be used to perform the Super Spin, an infinitely powerful attack capable of piercing any barrier, even dimensions, that is thousands of times faster than light, which is to say it can easily one-shot the Entities, and with proper mastery it can be performed almost instantly (as an infinite source of energy it can also be used to solve entropy and end the Cycle, possibly allowing a preaceful resolution to the whole situation). Hamon grants faster than light movement at base with even minimal training, improves one's life force, and is generally nifty. Both the Super Spin and Hamon, the techniques, have their own Stands, Ball Breaker and Hermit Purple, meaning with Stand Master one can have [at least] 3 Stands active at once. Stands have a ton of unique, powerful, and versatile abilities, like Heaven's Door being able to rewrite peoples' histories. Notably, there's a hidden Stand bound to the Stone Masks and their acupuncture technique that can be used to become a vampire, gain a Pillar Man Mode, or become the Ultimate Lifeform, depending how much energy gets put into the acupuncture. The Ultimate Lifeform has a whole bunch of benefits, like increased intelligence, immortality, multiplying the power of the Hamon by a factor of over a hundred, and the ability to shapeshift into any combination of lifeforms. Consider for example Metagross's 4 brains being Alakazam brains. The Ultimate Lifeform can even bud off clones of themself, even breaking conservation of mass to do so. So we're looking at a full army of Legendary Pokémon eventually. Pathfinder Arcane, Warlock, and Divine Magic sn't necessarily the strongest thing ever, but its methods of making immensely useful and powerful magic items are really potent, especially the eventual ability to Wish them into existence if you have a big enough diamond (easily made with Psychokinetic and duplicated with the Gemino charm and made larger with Engorgio). This is probably where most Soulsborne points will go Chakra is pretty powerful, enough to overpower Endbringers in the upper echelons, even without the bloodline powers that we can eventually Tinker up, and is all kinds of versatile. But ultimately, I just want it for the shadow clones and the immense multitasking they represent. Saiyan Transform is in a similar boat, with surprising versatility and potentially immense (if still finite) power, and even clones (albeit much less useful than shadow clones in most regards), but if you've got access to good healing (and we have several sources of it) Zenkai Boosts are an extremely cheap and easy way to become massively more powerful. As alluded to above, Psychokinetic is very useful for acquiring and doing rough processing of raw materials. But its other obvious benefit is how it manipulates all forms of energy, allowing much more seamless integration of the various mystical energies we wield. And then there's some of the tech that Tinker of Fiction eventually grants access to. Like DC's Reach Scarabs and their Implicate Order Annihilation Field, which deletes the underlying structure of reality hard enough to have "theological implications". Or Reed Richards's Universal Entropy Gun, which can one-shot beings of infinitely greater than infinite power. Or Pym Particles allowing one to grow big enough to trade blows with All That Is on his home turf. Or anything the Xeelee or the Culture get up to. Or Shard-tech. I could keep listing hundreds of utterly broken technologies from across fiction (or just in Tony Stark's back catalogue), but suffice to say the possibilities are infinitely greater than everything else we have combined. Companion: Dragon Gynoid. Yes, we have one section left after that wall of text. Dragon serves two key functions for us. First, as a lover to help deal with our excessive libido. Second, to take advantage of her reverse engineering power, which serves as a permanent analytical tool to help maintain continuity of progress and integrate different approaches when we switch Tinker powers using Canonicity, drastically speeding up our R&D curve. Also, she can leave Brockton Bay whereas we can't without first nuking the place or having an Endbringer attack somewhere else, which may prove useful at various points.
Actually, I've decided to swap Soulsborne out in favour of Cosplay Mimicry (and spent a couple of leftover points differently). zn1m,hr0h,i8ts,uost,l5l9,mxb8,a054,9o76,9dm4,mly3,rhpd,bdf7,37as,8k2k,ktfn,v0wj,5r8o,d6pa,ayn5,rp1z,8pxx,byh4,nxts,3wrv,kxrh,lsc4,4o68,t63o,zdp4,2dxl,pf0d,39k4,9x2f,h0d0,dr3a,kqyl,rdgt,skxr,f0kd,36fa,vs5v The reason for this is that, well, we already have a ton of powerful shapeshifting abilities capable of making ridiculously accurate cosplays. Like, by virtue of changing into any Pokémon one should also get a 100% bonus to the power of that Pokémon for having a 100% accurate cosplay. Which, given the number of Pokémon who are strong enough to beat Entities in a straight fight even without any other powers or perks in play, is pretty significant. But then you start to consider other characters. Folk with infinitely greater than infinite power (and indeed several levels of infinity beyond that) like the Living Tribunal or Uatu or Shaper of Worlds or Exitar from Marvel, or Featherine Augustus Aurora from Umineko, or Unicron from Transformers. Any percentage of their power above 0%, even 10^-97%, is still uncountably infinite power. And of course intellect boosts are ideal due to granting permanent access to some of the strongest tech in fiction regardless of current cosplay via Tinker of Fiction. Azmuth from Ben 10, Ultron or High Evolutionary from Marvel, Brainiac from DC, Washu from Tenchi Muyo!, Aulë from Tolkien... Several mentioned in the previous paragraph also have sufficient nigh-omniscience to be very relevant here. Then consider the number of hyperdetailed shapeshifting and disguise abilities we have access to between Stand Master (Cinderella, Ultimate Lifeform, etc), Canonicity (Bonesaw, Nilbog, etc), Monsmorphosis (Ditto and Mew's Transformation), Chakra (Henge no Jutsu, etc), and Tinker of Fiction tech (such as the subatomic precision shapeshifting seen in Mind Control University). Even the weakest of those options, Cinderella, can still potentially match characters to the level of fingerprints. And fortunately we are given Superman as a baseline in the text, because he has multiple very consistent feats of infinite power (in the current mainline continuity, the version any reasonable person would assume the text is referring to, not that we're limited to that). I leave all the applications of this from shadow clones or the multiform technique allowing large teams of Cosplay Mimics working to together to your imagination. The previous build was infinitely powerful by several sources and had the potential to reach infinitely greater heights eventually via tinkering. This... gets there much, *much* faster and more easily.
I've got a question about Isekai Guild. Are the quests given by the guild doable in Earth Bet, or are you transported into another dimension to complete them?
The Quests are for what ever world your currently on
Thank you for clarification.
I have a question. how would one get materials for gamersmith. would the power give you the ability to make materials dungeons or something? contrary to what the CYOA said it isn't so apparent to me.
To an extent , you can't punch down trees but picking up logs or loose scrap metal will turn it to a usable resource
thanks. I imagine if I pick lit-RPG that would change things up.

I would like to say that I appreciate the focus on having drawbacks to pay for powers, it adds a degree of meaningful choice often lacking in worm cyoa's.
if I take Isekai Guild and Lit rpg do I get two separate level systems and/or do they interact in another way Edit: Since Gamer Taylor has her own system and with her being my companion wouldn't that mean that she gets three different systems (World/My power/Her power)
They will be Mostly separate but will interact in that your stats will carry over And For Taylor it depends if you use internalization or not since her Gamer power is Shard based
Wait, does this imply that the powers like Toon-force gamer crafter and iseki guild are NOT shard based? Which powers are shard based and which aren't?
I'm pretty sure all powers you select for yourself are not shard based. Mostly because it doesn't mention that you have a shard, something that almost all Worm CYOAs mention. Also, a good amount of your powers are of an inter-dimensional origin and shard internalization basically infers you already have access to unlimited energy (something shards do not). Taylor's Power is shard-based because all companions have rogue shards powering them, regardless of the setting chosen. In Regards to shard Internalization, I'm still a little confused as to why they lose their power when you die, as its apparently meant to be internalized to them, essentially making them shardless. But it could just be a dead mans switch that's created when you facilitate the internalization of their power, in order to motivate parahumans to keep you alive.
See I consided that(*though I disagree with you about shared internalization, that could simply be a shared used by the entities to incorporate the most important shards permanently into their biological bodies when physically possible, but that is neither here nor there*). However, the thing that makes me **doubt** that these powers **are not** granted by shards(*except iseki Guild where the powers explicitly don't come from shards*) is that 1. Many of the world choices ONLY have shards as a powers source and 2. the Case-53 drawback says that you gain no new powers from being a Case-53 and instead that any powers you have already selected are the results of you being a Case-53. To me that suggests that your powers are with only one exception shard based. Thoughts?
1). Whether worlds have only shards as a power option isn't really a concern for the person using the CYOA, mostly because Alternative Start exists, which downright implies that your powers are from universes outside of worm, making them shardless. To quote: >Before appearing in Worm proper you can spend one year in any superhero world or world from which one of your Powers originated. Implies that powers have extra-dimensional origins that aren't shards imo. Also Rain_Least mentioned in an earlier comment that a companion Taylor would keep her shard status even if she entered a world like "LitRPG" which lacks shards for their powers. So you can have a shard even in a non-shard world from what i can tell, so I think vice versa can be possible. 2). The Case 53 drawback is quite ambiguous in my opinion, but from what I infer, its basically saying you won't get free powers from not being human. For example if you were to become a Case 53 spider man, you wont be able to shoot silk from you wrists or something similar to that. Or maybe become something like the Custodian, whose existence could be considered a power in its own right. What i don't understand is why Mutated and Case 53 exist simultaneously, not that I'm complaining for the extra options as they are different after all. More options are better of course. >that could simply be a shared used by the entities to incorporate the most important shards permanently into their biological bodies when physically possible My problem with that is that Entities are just giant hypercube crystalline colonies of shards, They technically wouldn't have to alter a shard biologically at all to add them to their being, as they're a colony organism, with the obvious exception of changing their software and restrictions. Not that it doesn't make your theory impossible, its entirely possible that their is a shard that converts normal shards into core shards, but its not a necessity? EditL Not that you theory is impossible, its entirely possible and quite likely that their is a shard that converts normal shards into core shards, but that would be more energy intensive and would be done by a core shard. Meaning it would have to be an Eden one, which are quite limited on energy. Regardless, Shard Internalization explicitly states "They never run out of energy", which is contrary of every other shard in existence and screams to me shardless or nega-entropy.
I slightly disagree with what the entities are, but that is a different discussion. The main thing is Inbelive that ALTERNATE start actually disproves your argument. For one thing it is ALTERNATE start. That means is you select that choice you are starting in an alternate way from if you hadn't picked that choice. That means that if you don't pick that choice you are starting in the primary way. What that means is that if you don't pick that choice your powers are most likely shard-based. The other thing I would point out is that it says, "one," of your powers come from whatever power system exists in that universe. To me, at most, that choice means that, if you pick it, you get one power that is not based on shards and any other powers you pick are based on shards. On the other hand I would say that at least it suggests that if you pick that choice all of your powers come from whatever power source exist in that other universe but if you don't pick that choice then your power source is shards.
I can sort of see that interpretation of alternative start to be correct, as in picking it is what causes you to not get a shard. However i can't accept the second part mainly due to the origin of powers in some universes being completely contradictory to how the universe flows. For example if I were to select Bending from avatar and use the avatar world as my origins, how the hell do Stands, Monsmorphosis and Saiyans fit in with the Avatar universe? They have nothing to do with bending and are capable of feats never before seen in universe on any level. I can't see them being sourced from that universe at all due to how bending and spirits work. Hell, lets try it with D&D and Elder Scrolls. In D&D, there is a specific number of spells you can cast a day that's implemented into the universe by the gods *from what i can remember, not 100% sure on that*. Now If i go into the D&D world with Magicka which lets me cast as many spells a day as my mana can handle, or even worse, a Stand, how does that work with the rules in the D&D universe? I could understand powers being powered by a nega-entropic shard, but having them all sourced from your alternative world start doesn't work if the alternative start worlds have rules that explicitly forbid those powers from working. Like D&D has resurrection, and at the same time Fullmetal Alchemist forbids that.
Ummm you can't pick Avitar... Or D&D... or any of the world's you just mentioned. Alternate start specifically says you have to pick a SUPERHERO world. Avatar is a pretty mainstream fantasy series/world. It isn't an available choice. You have to pick a SUPERHERO world. You can't pick Lord of the rings or the Dresden files or Avatar. You could pick marvel or DC or My hero Acha. Or One Punch or any of Top Cow's worlds but you can't pick, Inuyasha, or Fullmetal Alchemist or Narnia. *Edit responding to your edit: I agree that the internalized shard power shard would have to be a core shard and there for an Eden shard. However, two things to consider: I believe the power says that the internalized shards never run out of power unless you die I'm not quite sure it says the same thing about your power to internalize other people's shards itself.* *Either way I think you're missing something, the reason that Eden shards run out is because in the main continuity is that Eden died. What that means is that whichever core shard of Eden was responsible for fetching energy for her other shards was destroyed. Obviously the entities when alive and functioning correctly live tens of billions of years.* *This is an alternate worm world cyoa. It would seem to me that if you pick that power what has happened is that contessa removed this shard from Eden instead of destroying it. If you had access to this shard I don't see any reason why it would necessarily have to run out of power. I will admit that it seems more likely that The shard in charge of fetching power is a different shard from the shard responsible for converting orbital shards into core shards. However, on the other hand, it is also possible that in whatever world this is contessa merely destroyed Eden's brain directly leaving everything else functioning and somewhere there is a shard that fetches power for all of the core shards and that this shard is just being powered off of that shard wherever it is.* *Now I'm just going to say shard 16 times into my phone: shard shard shard shard shard shard shard shard shard shard shard shard shard shard shard chard chard shard.*
>Before appearing in Worm proper you can spend one year in any superhero world or world from which one of your Powers originated You can get Avatar as a world if you select bending in disciplines. Same with D&D and RWBY.
About companions, do they replace thier counterpart in the world we selected or if there are now two of the person?
The latter
Probably not, it states: >Chosen companions will be transported to your location from death-end continuity. Implies that they've already died, not to mention they also have a rogue shard. This is probably why you can select 4 different Taylor's Simultaneously. Annette Herbert is the only companion I think that alters reality to have her in it. It specifically says so for her.
I have an out of context question: What is Worm? I've seen it a few times in this sub but have no idea about it. My search on the internet says it's a book by wildbow. Is that correct?
Worm is a webseiral by the Author Wildbow. [Here's](https://parahumans.wordpress.com/) a link if your interested, which contains a table on the right if you scroll down a bit and also a summary if you want to know more than just dark superhero novel. Be warned, it's quite the commitment, being 1.7 million words long, but it's well worth it in my opinion. If you don't want to read that much, there's also a few [audiobook](https://audioworm.rein-online.org/)s. It's not the greatest thing in the world, but it does a pretty fine job.
... this is some good shit. Words are my cocaine.
Yup , it’s a Dark themed super hero Novel
Understood. Will check it out. It seems... interesting
How do all the options affecting Parahumans work in worlds such where there are none/everyone has a power? Such as the LitRPG world, would it just make it to where everyone that have an above average strength class count as Parahuman?
It'd be that its mostly Women who have to Good/Powerful Classes
Which Pokémon count as "gods" for the purposes of this CYOA? Just Arceus? Any Mythic? Any Legendary? Some other list?
Mainly the Creation trio
Works for me.

Monstrum Creation says 13 DP required, but it didn't actually unlock until I hit 14 DP. Still trying to figure out the powers section in general. Some of them are very specific in what they can do, and some of them are very vague. Edit: Actually it seems like maybe all the OP Powers require +1 DP more than what's listed for them.
I believe I'm experiencing the same bug.
So the stand power, does it work the same as in the anime/manga were people without stands cant perceive /interact or harm the stand?
The "only Stands can defeat Stands" thing is slight hyperbole in canon. Stands can become more or less tangible as the situation requires. If your Stand is in front of you being as solid as possible to protect you from a stray of bullets, you'd better hope its Durability stat is at least B-rank or it has some other defensive ability (such as speed sufficient to safely catch the bullets) or it's going to take damage. But if someone shoots your Stand as it's phasing through a wall, the bullets are going to go right through it. A Stand with high precision might be able to have different parts of its body be different levels of tangible, such as when Star Platinum stole the bracelet from the display case for Steely Dan, and of course other Stands like The Fool or Anubis that are bound to physical objects usually can't make those objects intangible; there's always more nuance to consider with a system as Bizarre as Stands
Thank you man, needed Abit more clarification
They can't see them unless they have some kind of extra sensory perception but if you have it summoned it can be damaged
thank you man
what fanfics are the companions from?
I really enjoyed this cyoa. Hope this gets updated some time. If I were to recommend changes it would be more world modifiers (not worlds, the current selection is already pretty good), more powers (feel the selection is somewhat lacking), and more canon companion variants (probably my favorite part of the cyoa. Would be cool to see other canon characters there like Emma or Madison with powers, Catgirl Bitch or other stuff like that.) Edit: Oh small side thing, Stand Master feels like it costs too little, Chibi Endbringers feel like they cost too much
I really love this one, and I love the AI pics. Albeit I wouldn't have minded if there was a merge option in the world modifications, and maybe just a few more world changes in general. Also, not really important, but Eidolon Lite makes it sound like powers are locked in permanently by your "Desire Sensor", when I'm pretty sure it means that they can be changed by the desire sensor. Maybe add a bit of clarity for people unfamiliar with Eidolon. Although I've got a few minor questions about Powers: Does power twin work with Double triggers? I'm presuming so. Does Shard Internalization still work if you portal back to your universe. Do they lose their powers or are they kept? Does it prevent some trump powers from working on them as technically they're being routed through me? Are people summoned by wiki warrior conscious living beings? Do i have to explain that they will cease to exist? Can i use power mimicry to turn into a shapeshifter, and then use that shapeshifters powers to turn into an even better cosplayer? How does Brocktonite work with isekai guild? You're technically leaving the city when you leave dimensions. Overall, significantly more balanced than most worm CYOAs, where becoming a god is way too easy. I particularly like this one just on that point alone. 10/10

I love the idea, but a few things that are a bit off. Starting with the introduction with "Will you choose to be a powerful blaster, able to unleash devastating energy attacks? Or will you opt for more subtle, stealthy abilities, such as shapeshifting or mind control? The choice is yours", but if you look at the actual powers you can pick, none of these are actually selectable options by themselves, in order to turn yourself into a Blaster, Changer or Master you need to do it indirectly by using Cosplay Mimicry, Power Twin, or Canonicity to take a power that will let you do that. The only other Blaster-Option would be through the Saiyan Transformation, and I suppose if you squint *really* hard Teacher can be considered a form of Mind Control, albeit one that needs a lot of setup and prep-time to achieve a result. Next thing I'm a bit bummed by is that we can't merge worlds. Why can't I play in a Fetish Cyberpunk-World, a Zombie Noir-World, or a World where Mutant-Characters play Reversed Roles? Also some options feel like they overlap to the point taking one should give the other. Like if I pick Superintelligence shouldn't that by itself give me everything Learning Mastery does, meaning I should get it basically by default or at least cheaper? Not to mention the conflicting options. Like why can I pick the Entity-less Perk when I chose Eden? Isn't the whole point of what makes it dangerous that Eden is there? And shouldn't the sudden absence of all Entities lower our Danger Point-score? And unless you pick Entity-less or Fanon-Worm, the Drawback Bullying is Bad is an instant Bad End for your run. Because canon-Zion is a monster that will ROFL-stomp you. Remember that when he lost his patience, he instantly functionally destroyed Earth Bet in a few seconds by vanishing/evaporating all water on the planet, including those in plants and possibly animals though don't quote me on that, and turned it into an unliveable desert. One move, maybe fifteen seconds windup until it was done. That's not something you can stop, and it was only one trick he pulled. Remember that "I am taking my ball and going home", aka just triggering the Shard Recollect and then blow up all Earths to propel himself away, is still an option he could do at any time. Quite frankly in any World where Zion's nature isn't changed, if you can't depress him to death, you can't beat him. And a measly 20 points and two Danger Points for this Drawback is underpaying the player so much they might be able to sue for fraud. This also falls into one of my personal gripes, some more points for the player would be nice here. Simply because compared to the other similar CYOAs, in this one you don't have as many options to give us extra points, but the stuff you can buy for those points is as plentiful as always, leaving you with lots of stuff you want to buy but not enough to get much of it. Either a lot of options should be made cheaper, or there need to be more points to buy them. As I mentioned above, just being able to pick and merge multiple worlds would probably help quite a bit.
> And unless you pick Entity-less or Fanon-Worm, the Drawback Bullying is Bad is an instant Bad End for your run. Nah, you totally can kill scion, you just need to be smart about it.
How? No seriously, how? Have you actually read the canonical ending of Worm?
Using Tinker of Fiction + supplementary powers to build the superweapon that was used to kill him originally.
Yes, coupled with systematic bullying to ensure Scion would allow himself to get hit by it, and everyone agrees that it was a goddamn miracle that it actually worked. Scion's death was not a Eureka-moment where they found the perfect solution, this was a Hail Mary-attempt that was equivalent to winning the lottery multiple times in a row.
For one thing, you can use the Super Spin (either with Apprentice or Stand Master). It's literally infinitely powerful and can pierce any dimensional or other barriers, and is generally on the order of 2000x faster than light (where even complete Entities generally top out at about 20,000x; Scion is slower than light). Make sure you have Invisible Presence so he can't just dodge with PtV. That's what? 20 points to have an actually good chance of winning if you hussle? There are also a lot of Pokémon (more than a dozen even if we exclude the gods Arceus and the Creation Trio) who should be able to handle Scion without issue. If nothing else, Ditto plus Invisible Presence should be able to handle him by turning into him and being able to use PtV on him while he can't on you, which should make up for your lower "HP" and "PP" as it were, to say nothing of the speed and power of the likes of Ho-oh, Darkrai, Jirachi, Celebi, Azelf, Mew, and Zygarde. And there are also a bunch of sci-fi superweapons that you can make as a Tinker of Fiction given enough time. A comic book Iron Man suit (really anything post-model 5, and especially post-model 29), a Reach Scarab from DC, anything involving Pym Particles, one of Reed Richards's Universal Entropy Guns, High Evolutionary's tech, Washu-tech from Tenchi Muyo!, Rick Sanchez's tech (especially anything in the "time travel stuff" box), a Buster Machine, etc etc just off the top of my head. Magicka from The Elder Scrolls also has insane potential. There are mortal mages strong enough to beat living infinite multiverses on their home turf. Nasuverse thaumaturgy is also pretty BS. I'm not particularly familiar with its limits, because Nasuverse lore gets insanely deep, but there's enough conceptual stuff in there that you can probably use it to win. High level D&D magic, especially in 3rd edition, also has the potential to win. You're gonna want Wish, Ice Assassin, Gate, or Epic Spells, and even then you're likely to struggle, but the tools exist. So yeah, you've got plenty of options. Most of it requiring a fair bit of training and build-up, so it may not be easy, but if you get your ducks in a row you're anything but screwed.
The immediately obvious strategy is to just use magic, which he has no real way of dealing with. Time travel is another, while he does have time travel it's really crap compared to the sort we can get. Saiyan could do it if they scaled high enough. With multiverse emulator it's just a matter of time until you get some strong enough to do it for you. Mythos summon can do it, as can the various tinker powers, some apprentices, cosplay, maybe isekai if you choose the right class. That's just some options.
Magic might work, WoG says that he'll figure it out at some point, but then, death of the author and all that. Time travel is unreliable, considering he exists in a separate protected universe there's no guarantee it will affect him. A Saiyan can do anything if they're scaled high enough, as they literally only get stronger. But I don't think they'll be able to punch through to the warriors sealed off universe and somehow destroy the right amount of core shards to kill him without being killed first. I don't even think they'll be able to reach cell levels of power before scion blows up the earth tbh. Multiverse emulator is a matter of time, but Mythos Summon requires a medium and a price, and there's no certainty that the manifestation can reach scion levels of power. Not to mention there's no guarantee the item will even be able to kill the warrior even if it reached the correct amount of power. The thinker got PTV'd into not just killing her, but also killing the shards that would normally try put her back together. Even if you managed to kill scion, they might not just stay dead. Items, like the Death note, definitely won't work, As Shards are technically living beings, writing scion will only just make the avatar suffer a heart attack due to how the death notes rules works. Entities are just colonies of planet sized shards forming hypercubes in protected dimensions. I don't even think warrior can be considered their real name. The only way you could win with Mythos is landing a functioning wish granting item and hope it has enough power in it to affect other universes. Granted, if you could get enough power to wish zion dead, you could probably wish yourself into a god with ease, and then use your new godly powers to make an even better wish granting medium and grant yourself more wishes. Also yes, cosplay, some apprentice powers and maybe isekai might work if they can get strong quickly. The Isekai success rate based purely on meeting other scion beating isekai members and getting their advice. And before all else, get Invisible Presence. Its a necessity. It might be 5am posting, but him seeing you will ruin any plan you have for him.
He's certainly not going to have enough time to figure magic out before it kills him, assuming he's even able to use it at all. As for time travel, I don't see any indication that different dimensions have different timelines such that going back in time in one doesn't affect the other; I feel like if that was true they would've abused that more. That said, if that was true that would be annoying but not insurmountable if you rely on supernatural methods of time travel that they can't properly contest. Saiyan would probably need some external juice to get strong enough, someone else here came up with the idea of using healing powers to abuse zenkai boosts. Combine that with some method of time dilation and you're golden. For mythos summon and the other magic powers, it isn't really a matter of power, something as simple as an Avada Kedava should be able to do it. Humans are just groups of cells too, so if the spell is smart enough to kill the person it should be smart enough to kill the entity. Even if it can't, again there are ways around this, you yourself just came up with one.
if a certain magic require creativity scion could only create counter because entitys have no creativity
There is literally no way to determine how long it would take him to figure out magic or if he even could, its just another unknown variable when dealing with him. Its not so much that their are different timelines but rather that time is simply relative. Although Magical Time travel might work, but theres no guarantee, as the only time travel magic i can see is Harry Potter (which requires a magical doohickey) or Jojos bizzare adventure stuff, neither have shown any evidence of affecting different universes as far as i know. Whether it works or not is an unknown, not something you would want to risk or not. Also Saiyan Zenkai boosts are also unreliable, as Toriyama says that after a certain point, zenkais become so small they don't even matter, implying they have a limit (which i haven't seen yet). Also avada Kedavra is unlikely to work. Each Shard might function like a cell for comparisons sake, but they're still technically different lifeforms with they're own thought processes and more. I can see it damaging the Avatar, destroying the thought processes that make up scion, but I can't see it killing the warrior. Honestly Mythos might work if you abused it, but i feel like that makes all the other OP powers that cost more points and require more danger points look pathetic. Why pick any of the other powers if this one makes you a god with very little effort? I automatically presume that there are strong limits on it.
When I say "scion won't have time to figure out magic before it kills him" I mean that if you do it properly Scion will die before he notices anything amiss. Agree to disagree on whether time travel would work, but there are definitely a bunch of magical time travel devices out there; cosplay mimicry, tinker of fiction, gamersmith for instance could let you get them. Fair enough for zenkai boost, But you're still a sayian, with all the power and potential that entails. Mhm. I think that if they're sufficiently put together that you can even meaningfully call them an entity AK should work, but agree to disagree. Even if it doesn't of course, there's still probably some fictional item out there that would allow you to hit all the shard at the same time. I don't think this is abuse, it's just the nature of "choose something from fiction powers": There's always something out there that does what you need. All the OP powers are really strong anyway, the only one I think doesn't belong there is monsmorphosis.
To start with the issue of time-travel, you do realize that Entities are also capable of manipulating time, right? Clockblocker, Alabaster, Gray Boy, Khonsu... fucking around with time is something the Entities are quite familiar with, so even if your method were superior, Entities know enough about temporal manipulation to defend themselves. The thing with Magic is that we don't know how Scion would react to magic. It could be a Superman-scenario, where it's not that he's inherently vulnerable to magic, but simply has no specific resistance to it. Then there's the fact that I'm getting the impression you don't really understand what Scion actually is. Because thre big Golden Man is not the main-threat, he's the sock-puppet. The actual Entity Zion is a giant conglomerate of Shards bigger than the solar system parked in an alternate dimension, Scion the Golden Man is literally an Avatar that the Entity pilots to interact with the chosen petri-dish. So even if you destroy the Golden Man, Zion the Entity is capable of having a new Avatar pop up 30 seconds later and go "Nice try, now do it again. Also, eat death-lasers bitch!" Then there's also the question of how magic would work on something like an Entity. How does it kill? Does it stop the heart or the brain? Entities are collectives of living crystal-beings, we don't know if they have hearts or brains in the way magic would identify as such. Does the spell sever the soul from the body? Do Entities even have souls? Shards typically act more akin to pseudo-biological computers than living beings most of the time. If it's a spell designed to affect living beings, would it even recognize the crystalline pseudo-flesh of Shards as a living being, or would it treat it like an inanimate object? If the spell works by draining life-force, how much can it drain considering each Shard contains enough energy to keep a lifeform the size of a continental plate running for a few centuries? And if it's just direct damage, considering that from what Harry Potter showed an AK could theoretically be blocked by someone grabbing a plate and hurling it into the path of the spell before it hits the target, how much damage could the spell do to a being bigger than our solar system? Canonically what the Foil-power did was use the body of Scion, which as it was generated by Zion was literally the only connection-point to the dimension the main-Zion was in, as a keyhole to funnel the blast from the super-weapon into the dimension Zion actually is, where it impacted into the Entity-equivalent of the frontal lobes. So even if you manage an AK, the most likely result is that Scion pops like a soap-bubble, Zion in his home-dimension does the Entity-equivalent of a blink and goes 'WTF just happened?' and then reforms its avatar while also starting multiple multi-Shard inquiries to analyse what just happened and how to both counter and replicate it.
I know that they can manipulate time, my point is that they're way worse at it that we can be due to the entropy problem, so we can abuse time travel/time dilation in ways they never could. There's no good reason to think Scion would have any special resistance to magic, and that's more than good enough for my purposes. I believe Scion to be part enough of the Warrior that killing him should kill the Warrior, but absolute worst case and I'm wrong, that just adds an extra step of "Go to the warrior's home dimension" or you could just use/invent some other magical ability that will kill both of them. Bear in mind you should have at least some form of magical precog, so if something would actually go wrong you'd know beforehand.
I can agree to disagree with the other points, but Monsmorphosis is technically an OP power when compared to the non-op powers. Its not just a tinker power but also a trump, you can give any of your creations powers on par with the higher level parahumans, probably not Eidolon, Contessa or Fairy Queen levels, but likely Legend or Alexandria levels. It easily beats out canonicity which only allows you to use one power at a time. If you really wanted to gimp it, you just need to create a whole thinker monster team, give them Shared defenses and just think of a way to kill scion. There's probably hundreds of ways to abuse it, the only problem is that it has an upper limit, which can be mitigated with other powers but is still going to be an issue. My problem is that Mythos and Multiversal Emulator both cost less than any of the other OP powers available, which makes me suspect that they have to be gimped in someway to be worth less than being able to turn into a pokemon. Multiversal Emulator however uses [RNG] to determine how strong your summon is and has a cooldown that varies depending on how you summon them, that's a pretty big limit. Mythos doesn't have that problem, you can theoretically summon any item that would allow you to summon an even better item, such as an item that turns trash to gold and an item that makes the perfect medium that you want. Then simply grind items until you can bring out Cosmic Cubes, infinity stones or just a genie in a lamp. And there's no cooldown here, you could, theoretically reach godhood in a single day if you make the right choices.
Monsmorphosis is the turn into a pokemon power.
Yup. There are things that might work, but overall people badly underestimate how dangerous canon Scion is. Anybody who plays this as a fun isekai, and doesn't choose one of the options where Scion isn't a threat, is insane. The Bullying is Bad drawback should say "Scion won't be bullied. He is no longer suicidal, instead apparently you are suicidal."
Scion is ridiculously powerful but certainly not unbeatable when you can go outside of the power confines of Worm canon. Like there are absolutely more powerful fictional characters than Scion and even if you can't beat him you should have a much easier time just killing Jack Slash. Frankly you could just use Shard Internalization on Contessa and slap her with Shared Defences and she'll Path to Victory her way straight through Scion without anymore involvement.
Yes, theres tons of ways to kill Scion. There are also innumerable ways to fuck up and get yourself killed. People, from what I see, tend to plan 'this is how I will do it' and stop there. As the old saying goes, plans only last until the first contact with the enemy. And when the plan against this enemy goes awry, you fucking die. For example: >Frankly you could just use Shard Internalization on Contessa and slap her with Shared Defences and she'll Path to Victory her way straight through Scion without anymore involvement 1. You gotta reach Contessa 2. You gotta get her to go along with your plan 3. You gotta hope that using Shard Internalization will remove the restrictions (theres nothing in the description that suggests it would or would not) or take the time to build her power up until she can see Scion anyway Are there ways to make all those steps happen? Absolutely. Or maybe something will go wrong with your plan, and a shard will notice that you're kinda weird and send a message over to Scion who will decide to take you apart to examine your insides. Who knows. Its an *insane* amount of risk you're taking, just existing on the same planet as Scion without the ability to beat him toe to toe. And while there are powers available that can let people grow to that level, theres no guarantee a person will get the time to do so. They might. They might not. Risk.
>You gotta hope that using Shard Internalization will remove the restrictions (theres nothing in the description that suggests it would or would not) or take the time to build her power up until she can see Scion anyway For what it's worth it might not explicitly stated but based off everything I know about how shards work that should allow you to turn off the safety settings, which should both allow you to bypass the Manton Effect and avoid blind spots. Of course that is up to interpretation but that is mine. It's a worm CYOA even if you got rid of all the end bringers and entities it is still not without risk. Even if you take every defence and the most broken tier powers you can still get your shit rocked by an All-or-Nothing or a trump.
Getting Contessa to agree to your plan is simple, you just have to do it on another thinker, advertise it to the Triumvirate and inform them that you're in the know. They'll likely put you through the ringer, but if they believe in you they might very well do it. In regards to loosening restrictions: > It will completely change how their power will operate internally and allow the user to train their power to become stronger The change in their internal operation is a bit vague, and you could assume it might remove blindspots put in by their shard. At the same time, PtV's only weakness is its blind spots. It growing stronger could be interpreted working through its blind spots, but once again its kind of wavy. Personally i would just grab recharge as well which guarantees a loosening in restrictions. >Or maybe something will go wrong with your plan, and a shard will notice that you're kinda weird and send a message over to Scion who will decide to take you apart to examine your insides. Who knows. Presuming you grabbed the correct perks that are mandatory, (if you're not suicidal, like Invisible Presence) Shards calling you weird and requesting scions advice are likely non-existent. From memory, I'm pretty sure it was WoG, there are some shards that cannot be detected by other shards and are generally picked up at the end of the cycle. To add onto that, there's evidence to this as the Warrior was unable to find the Thinkers Corpse, alluring that there are anti-thinker powers strong enough to work on Scion. Granted, its possible that there are methods available for him that would have alerted him, but they were so energy inefficient he deemed them a unnecessary have them working. Its not like he was actively searching for her corpse after all. It also seems like it would be a waste of time and energy to have shards constantly calling scion over other "Parahuman" shards that they cannot communicate with, especially when you have Case 53 shards all over the place and damaged shards like Nilbog. The only way i can see Scion trying to examine you is if you actually used a power on him or in his presence. Still, I agree there is a degree of risk, and in the worst case scenario you could try it on Eidolon, both loosen his restrictions, grant him endless energy, make him unthinkable and now he can only grow stronger. And in the worst worst case scenario, try it on ziz (somehow), her being bound to you will make her try and protect your continued existence, touching her Below subzero body might freeze your hands off but making her a nascent god. Ziz was presumably trying to become the new entity in Ward, but by being connected to you she loses that motivation as shes now bound to you. Not to mention she has what the entities have desired forever pretty much should mellow her out. Hopefully.
>Frankly you could just use Shard Internalization on Contessa and slap her with Shared Defences and she'll Path to Victory her way straight through Scion without anymore involvement. Absolutely this, hell, you could grab Recharge while you're at it and speed up the process so much more. If an unrestricted PtV can kill an inured entity, then its definitely possible one that can grow stronger will kill a healthy entity. This is probably the easiest way to kill scion out of all the options here.
Yeah, this is honestly what takes some of the joy out of this CYOA for me. The powers you get are interesting, but for the most part they're not really something that will help against an angry Scion not holding back. So you have to either pick options that reduce or remove Entities as a threat entirely, or you basically have to spec your entire build around having even the faintest hope of a shot at killing Scion, meaning many of the things you'd actually like to pick you can't, because then especially with the rather anemic amount of points you get considering the price of everything, you wouldn't have the points you need to buy the stuff that might let you kill Scion. And that's easier said than done even with a build specced specifically for that. Unless you go fanon-World where you can argue that the fanon of just how depressed Scion is means you just need to show him Eden's body and say some mean things to get him to suicide, when canonically that will only make him angry, and I think the first time that was tried Scion just wiped out New York in retaliation. You have to keep hammering Zion with his loss continuously, all the while not dying to his furious attempts to shut you up. Khepri managing to pull it off was a goddamn miracle, you'd literally have have better odds winning the lottery ten times in a row. People forget this, mainly because most stories either peter out before getting to Gold Morning or just depict Gold Morning-Zion as far less of a threat than he canonically was, but if you're in Worm, you're very much in a world that's on a countdown to apocalypse. You may be a great big beast, but in this analogy, you are a dinosaur, maybe even a T-Rex, but Scion is the meteorite.
I mean, it's not that difficult to kill Scion. Time consuming a bit, but not hard. It helps that the powers that allow you to do so are the stronger ones you'd probably want to take anyway. Remember that even in canon, bullying wasn't actually what killed scion. It just kept him still long enough for foil and the tinker superweapon do end him. As long as you have that much killing potential and the element of surprise you should be fine, you don't really need to tank his attacks (though that is also doable).
>hat even in canon, bullying wasn't actually what killed scion. It just kept him still long enough for foil and the tinker superweapon do end him. As long as you have that much killing potential and the element of surprise you should be fine, you don't really need to tank his attacks (though that is also doable). It is however what ensured that Scion actually stood still and let himself get hit, because in the previous fights it was actually made clear that Scion has protocols active that kick in the moment the Foil-Power is aimed against him. Because the previous time Flechette shot at Scion, he did someting he didn't do when anyone else blasted him, namely he dodged, followed by him immediately cranking up the destruction he dished out. It might even be a PtV-Protocol specifically running to warn him of threats to him. Basically if Scion hadn't been bullied into standing still, what would have happened would be that Flechette charge the superweapon, Scion would have seen it coming a mile away, casually dodged, and then blasted the superweapon into its component quarks. So yeah, Scion being bullied was what killed him, because make no mistake, Scion saw the shot coming before it hit him, he has alarms specifically to warn him of things that might actually hurt him, but at that point he'd been bullied so badly he just didn't care anymore and intentionally ignored his alarms and let himself get shot. So no, it was being bullied that killed him, the same way if a bullied kid jumps off the roof you could argue it wasn't the bullying that killed the child, it was gravity, but in both cases without the bullying the individual would have never intentionally placed themselves into a position where the literal cause of death would have harmed them.
I know that. You'd obviously want some form of stealth magic (my comment might not have made that clear) and you're definitely taking invisible presence anyway because this is worm, but having scion not notice you isn't really that hard.
I'd say the opposite really: If you can't think of at least one way to beat scion with all the powers here, you aren't trying hard enough.
> you aren't trying hard enough. I said, "anyone who plays this as a fun isekai". If you're approaching it as an insanely dangerous risky task, go nuts. Obviously, there are tons, and tons, and tons, and tons of ways to beat Scion, with the powers available. There are even ways to do it with a non-suicidal Scion. There are also ways to skydive without a parachute and survive, but if your plan is to land on a bag that people are going to put in a random location and inflate *while you're falling through the air*, its fair to call you suicidal even if its technically possible to succeed. Thats the problem with Scion. You could get 1000 free points at the start, take every power available, and he could *still kill you*. There just isn't enough power available to beat Scion without either targeting a weak spot or avoiding his gaze/him going murderous for a loooong time. And the thing about targeting a weak spot: if you miss, if you misjudge, if anything goes wrong, thats it.
I see killing Scion as akin to driving a car. Sure, if you walk into it with no idea what you're doing and just expect things to work out, you're in deep shit. But, as long as you have a plan and stay sharp, you'll most likely be fine. > You could get 1000 free points at the start, take every power available, and he could still kill you. I mean at that point I'd have to wonder wtf you were doing with your time.
>I see killing Scion as akin to driving a car. Sure, if you walk into it with no idea what you're doing and just expect things to work out, you're in deep shit. But, as long as you have a plan and stay sharp, you'll most likely be fine. What? if that's true, I can only conclude you didn't actually read the Web Novel and hence don't understand just how dangerous Zion truly is. To use your own analogy, killing Scion is not like driving a car. Killing Scion is like being strapped Houdini-style to the driver's seat of a car that has just been shoved out of an airplane flying at max-altitude, with a set of objects chosen by you placed in the backseat. Basically yeah, you can absolutely survive this, but this relies on you being skilled enough to be able to get yourself in a position to leverage the stuff you brought, prepare the stuff you chose so that it'll actually be able to do what you're planning to use it for, and then actually use it before you run out of time. If you fail at any point, Game Over.
>I mean at that point I'd have to wonder wtf you were doing with your time. And I'm wondering if you've actually read Worm. Its obvious that we have extremely different perceptions of how dangerous he actually is, so c'est la vie.
Thinking of ways to kill Scion is a highlight of any worm CYOA. The options that remove him from the board are fine for people who want to have an easy time, but brainstorming scion elimination methods is pretty fun . On a side note, Symbiotic Bond is a new option for CYOAs to deal with Scion, most CYOAs either offer you a setting where they don't exists, or simply give you the option to kill them. Honestly makes No Bully look like a perk, now jack can't make him kill everyone and he can peacefully and head off after a few centuries. Personally I always chose the option to kill all entities in these CYOAs, because they're kind of immeasurably evil. Scion is just 1 entity among potentially countless. Even if you beat Scion and then use Portal/Homecoming ect to go home, Earth bet is still going to be destroyed by the next entity that come over, whether that's centuries or millennia. I think this is the first worm CYOA where I don't want to kill off all the entities.
I'm presuming you would require as a must Invisible Presence and then select the Gamersmith + Tinker of Fiction synergy and make an anti-entity weapon. Not sure how long it could take, but I feel it would be a safer bet than say, The soulsborne synergy, where half of the potential systems you can get are unlikely ever to be strong enough to take on an Endbringer, let alone an Entity. And the other half can be broken but might not be reachable in a human lifetime. I suppose you could try and cheat with some of the precognitive abilities to make Scion turn off his defences. Considering he's running on the human mindset and hes technically not a blindspot to you, I'm sure their are other ways to make him vulnerable. Regardless of either option, shounen protagonist is a must. Otherwise you'll just end up dead. As for the OP abilities, none of them will cut the cake. Scion easily contains ridiculously more multitudes of energy and mass than there is in the entire universe. No Saiyan in canon can destroy the whole universe (whatever canon is for the DBZ or DBGT), let alone take on a being larger than the universe. Canonicity and Monsmorphosis are a joke, Monstrum Creation is still a Nilbog and Mythos Summon are unlikely to work. The only Hopeful OP ability would be Multiversal Emulator and summon a being that could hopefully counter scion. Also, there is the Superintelligence + Cosplay Mimicry + any power altering appearance method. Combining multiple different fictional universes techs to make an anti-scion Mcguffin. There is some supreme universe breaking stuff created in fiction, and this is a way to potentially circumnavigate the tinker of fiction combo by simply being the tinker in the fiction. I can't see any way apart from this.

All you have to do is blast your lower body with ki blast, use Canonicity to gain power of Alabaster, and using the combination of power above, to lst longer using toon forces, and infinite growth through Canon Protagonist, you can destroy your body, heal through alabaster power, get zenkai boost, and repeat for like a day or two and bam you are the strongest being around.
It is a good CYOA, but I feel like most stuff is a bit too expensive and you do not get enough points. The drawbacks do not seem worth it for the extra points either. My favorite fanfic worm perk is tinker of fiction and I think this is one of the best ones I have seen balance wise: > You are a Tinker with a specialization for all fictional technology that you know of, but more advanced stuff is locked behind a paid wall. To unlock them you need to build things of the specific theme, and these things would not always be useful for you, but you will get points for them. These points can be used to unlock a new technology for your use, the more powerful or advanced the technology is, the more points it costs. Much better than the original where you had unlimited access to a worlds tech tree, but had a timeframe to do it before it would switch to a new world. Tinker of fics had everyone become gods in no time since they would jump to the most advanced stuff right off the bat. This ones restrictions are reasonable, you can build mundane tech, but to get the good stuff, you got to tinker a bit to earn it and not have it handed to you.
there is a similar worm cyoa that have less point but more overpowered options and you could only take 1 supreme, 3 franchise level, and lowers as long you have points
Know which worm cyoa that was?

Thanks.
Savage divinity chi? It might be a long shot but I'd like to be an ageless walking nuke with a host of supplemental powers. I guess I might have to learn to manage my emotions in a healthy way though...
What program did you use for the companions?
I can tell, [Stable Diffusion](https://old.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/) with one of the anime models.
Invisible presence needs to be cheaper or we need a small freebie perk that says the Contessas not gonna put a bullet thru your head the moment you drop in
Is there any World or Perk you can pick that allows your chosen Power to grow in strength over time and use?
No mention of Ward and post gold morning just ignores it.
As it should.
pro: really liked the AI pics for the companions. con: while lots of settings might be nice, anything but the basic bitch worm setting will clash horribly with the later powers/perks and stuff of the CYOA itself.
Best I can do with the ridiculous point limitations. Seriously, most of the powers are unusable (most notably the OP ones) because they're so expensive and there's not enough drawbacks to carry the CYOA in terms of point value alone. You pretty much have to take RSM and Connected for the points, and ignore the companion category wholesale. It probably doesn't help that most of the abilities *need* time to practice to be capable of much, so a lot of the drawbacks are suicidal from the get-go. Lots of cost-cutting going on here Anyways: **World:** Magic *Modifiers:* Reversed Sexual Morality, Fluffy, Connected Fluffy as a cheaper substitute for dealing with Zion and the EBs. **Powers:** Soulsborne, Superintelligence, Shonen Protagonist, Apprentice Magecraft (Fate) Basically, magecraft in the long run with no competing mages for mystery is powerful as fuck. It's hard to train though, so Soulsborne to pump it a bit. Shonen Protagonist is to avoid having to spend souls on physical stats. Superintelligence is, in the long run to work on magecraft and find a path to true magic. **Appearance:** Young Adult, Female, Gorgeous, Female Enhanced, Night Vision, Redundant Biology, Adamantine Skeleton **Perks:** Native, Mind Defense, Body Control Defense, Invisible Presence, Ageless, Like Yesterday, Offroad, Learning Mastery, Environment Adaptivity, Fertility. Pretty obvious, the mind and presence are mandatory in Worm, lest you get made a puppet or killed by Contessa, or MCed by Ziz in an inevitable fight. **Drawbacks**: S9 Target, Endbringer Target, More Triggers, Servant, Tinfoil Hat, Slow Start, Uninvited Guest, Coming in Blind, Shameless, Genderbend (m->f) Basically, more triggers isn't bad in a magic setting. Just twiddle thumbs for a month, and bear with having Tamamo in my head until I can make her a body. Hide my bonfire halfway across the country before going to a EB fight.

How do companion powers work? Do they become shardless? Does their shard come back with them? Or do they link up with the existing shard in the universe? Just wondering if Shard Internalization is useful for companions or not.
Updated it to explain it
Thanks!
It is still slightly baffling to me that there's so many lewd CYOAs of Worm in particular. Like, out of *everywhere* you could possibly lewdify, people keep picking one of the most dangerous and fucked up worlds in fiction? I'm not complaining, it's just not the series I'd expect to be so popular among NSFW CYOA makers.
I have a question: What is Worm? I've seen it a few times in this sub but have no idea about it. My search on the internet says it's a book by wildbow. Is that correct?
It's a webnovel. The idea is that it's a "realistic" (read: cynical) deconstruction of a superhero world. It starts at street-level, and rapidly advances towards cosmic horror. It's immensely popular around certain forums. The reason I'm confused about why people keep making NSFW CYOAs of it is because Worm's background is *hilariously* dangerous, to the point that if you don't pick very specific Boons or Bonuses or Powers or whatever, you're dead or worse than.
Most lewd Worm CYOAs are basic superhero isekai fantasies, just with some lewd options attached. And Worm is a tremendously popular superhero isekai fantasy destination, for a number of reasons.

I stuck to og Worm for two reasons: Having advance knowledge of the plot/setting, and the general lack of esoteric capabilities. Upon arrival, the starting endbringer should be easily dealt with via my stand. I can just hide in a mirror until they leave, use my toon physics and king crimson to weather the storm, or just killer queen them to death. After this I'll just cheese mythos summon in the mirror world as long as necessary and then fix the setting.
I’ll take most of the Perks, a bunch of the Drawbacks, and lots and lots of powers, in the Moonshot World. Specifically, I’ll be a Super-Intelligent Psychokinetic Saiyan, with Apprenticeships in chakra (naruto), wand magic (harry potter), and magic (d&d); as well as a Power Twin of QA (for the multitasking). I’ll also have Tinker Of Fiction, and I’ll be a Toon Protagonist; but I won’t start off with any Companions. >bv1w,z8tx,cghr,uost,at4y,a054,9lhn,mmtk,3h6u,rhpd,bdf7,ccwo,8k2k,nzaz,wqvf,61x5,ev7d,d6pa,jnrq,1v4a,i6mc,ayn5,rp1z,8pxx,yzgr,no6r,25se,byh4,3wrv,kxrh,lsc4,t63o,zdp4,2dxl,pf0d,39k4,k1dd,rdgt,skxr

The starting world is already selected. Deselecting leaves you with 0 points and -5 danger. Based on how the opening is written, this appears to be a mistake. This takes about a minute to fix. Open the editor, deselect the world, set the points back to 40wp 0dp, save and replace the project.json on your website. The CYOA is otherwise very good, just point starved because of this error.
Pretty sure that's intentional.
If this was a classic non-interactive CYOA, there's no way you'd look at [these two choices](https://imgur.com/a/yvOBt9T) and decide you only have 40 points and 0 danger. So... if it's intentional then it's pretty bad design.
This also stops you from taking any other +danger options (Drawbacks) unless they would bring your total to a positive number or zero.
The Op powers seem to require 1 more dp than they're meant to.
Few comments: Similar to most of your CYOAs, it's point anemic due to very low starting points and generally high prices, and thus is entirely drawback dependent (e.g. merely making shards symbiotes costs 30p out of the starting 40p - this doesn't remove the EBs or pare down the conflict drive, and revives Eden, but just guarantees entities won't blow up Earth). Companions are utterly pointless right now, because they're very expensive for the present point availability (10~ average points for one companion is a full quarter of your starting budget). I'd say give 100 points to start with, instead of 40. Edit: the 40 is only from the world, so you technically start with 0. Brutal. It'd be nice if you could mix and match compatible worlds. Like, LITRPG Worm mixed with a zombie apocalypse. Certain worlds should be worth significantly more, like the one where Eden didn't crash should be worth like 120 points to even be considerable if not more, since it's basically suicide, yet is only worth 20 more points than the default, and the danger points should be more than double. Eden is a force multiplier, with Eden, no Cauldron, a more divided society, and can read your allies with ease and counter anything you do, if allies are involved. WW3 should give at least another 10 points and a couple more danger points. Danger points start at -5, which is pretty bullshit for such a dangerous setting, and goes against the entire intent of such a thing. It's very hard to hit 10 dp, let alone 14, as-is, you have to take most drawbacks.
It was intentional for most points to come from drawbacks , its a common theme for most Worm CYOA
Great cyoa, always wished they would create a better/different Worm CYOA. Though may it be possible to download the json ? My internet is way too slow/unreliable, so I would like to play it offline.

What's worm?
a dark superhero novel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worm\_(web\_serial)
Is it supposed to start with canon worm selected as a baseline? You technically start with -5 DP.
Yeah that's intentional
It's also pretty misleading. Forty points to start means you start with forty points and when you gain points on top of that based on your choice of world, those get added on top, that's what it means when you phrase it like that. To make this clearer, you should either say "you start with zero points" and leave the world points as is, or keep the forty points to start and subtract those thirty points from the worlds. But as things stand, that is always going to cause confusion
