Warning, the first 5 chapters were very info heavy. They had info for how the overall world/power structure will work.
Its now in the auxiliary cpater. The story proper starts on chapter 6.


Rule #1: When a Random Omnipotent Being offers you a custom character sheet and a cross-dimensional fast pass, read the fine print.

Rule #2: There is no fine print. Only chaos. Blessed, balance-tested, cartoon-fueled chaos.

Welcome to the prototype run of The Game.
You weren’t meant to be a player. You didn’t get a tutorial.
And yet here you are armed with a half-finished system, a backlog of suppressed media knowledge, and a growing suspicion that the GM is just making it up as they go. (Spoiler: they are.)

This isn’t just a story. It’s a template. A Save/Load checkpoint. A cosmic draft folder.
It’s where R.O.B. 37 the most dangerously curious of the Random Omnipotent Beings starts testing out what happens when a wish-fulfillment engine gets smart. And bored. And possibly a little nostalgic.

Worlds will be revisited. Tropes will be broken.
AUs will be built, explored, then immediately patched.
Nothing is sacred. Everything is permitted.
(Except for linear plot structure. That died on page one.)

Why limit yourself? If "nothing is true, and everything is permitted", is true then why limit yourself?

The first few chapters are the template I'm putting in place for Random. Omnipotent. Being. (R.O.B.) 37. He is a true craftsman of wish fulfillment and balanced chaos. From a young age he studied the toons. As he grew his entrance to the litany of written works started early. By the time he finished formal schooling (k-12) he was aware of more media than he could ever truly finish in his life. So many worlds, so many stories. By the time he had reached his early 30's his eyes had seen so many takes on familiar stories and had written on so many posts It's an AU, that he decided to make his own Alternate Universe(s).....

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


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


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


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


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


Good point.  System Save Game Core Slot 1. 


Warning: File cannot be saved over or erased.


Josh exhaled slowly as the system shimmered in the void around him, scanning his parameters and displaying the familiar stats he'd already tweaked once before.


Facial Hair: Full beard to chest, braided sides, curled mustache


Eyes: Pale blue shifting to grey or green depending on light


Tattoos and Scars: Both shoulders and forearms. One over the left brow, five near the left elbow, two on the left hand, one on the left leg, three on the right leg in a triangle pattern


System Evaluation: You look like a young future Santa Claus. Don't shave or people might confuse you for an elf or a chick. Even after you—


"See? This is why I said not to invoke names of power in this domain," R.O.B. muttered, shooting Merlin a look.


Merlin, still present with crossed arms and the aura of infinite patience stretched thin, replied dryly, "I'm not even offended. Just tired."


Josh groaned. "What the hell just happened? Why does my name sound like a rejected fantasy author? Why is there already a profile?"


"We did this already," R.O.B. reminded him. "You tried naming yourself Lucian. Then you added Myrddin. Which... well, you saw how that turned out. He intervened. He edited your name, fixed the metadata, and added a bit of personality to the system. You're welcome."


Josh narrowed his eyes. "And the rest?"


"You customized the rest. Physical parameters, cosmetic tweaks, all locked in. Fully modded. That includes the 😏😏😉 but let's not dwell."


Merlin cleared his throat. "The auxiliary chapter contains the system explanations. He doesn't need a second copy."


"Right, right," R.O.B. said. "You've got Gamer's Mind, Gamer's Body, a segmented core, and a personal archive upstairs. The system will finish syncing once you land."


"Permanent," R.O.B. grinned. "You picked it out after all."


Josh just shook his head. "Alright. Fine. I'm in."


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


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