Essence Notes
Essence of the Hentai Orc
By drinking this bright green essence, you will become a hentai orc.
● Your body will be remade into a prime specimen of orcish masculinity. The specifics can be whatever you want, from a brown pig orc to a green, pot-bellied orc.
● This defaults to a green, seven-foot mountain of muscle with tusks, solid red eyes and pointed ears.
● Your physical power is far beyond a human's, easily enough to smash buildings apart and wield cars like a club. As well, you are easily durable enough that bullets scarcely even bother you, you feel pain only as a sensation and you can survive damage that leaves your head smashed open and your organs hanging out, then recover from said damage in a couple of hours. Your running speed is better compared to a car than a human and your stamina is effectively limitless. You may increase your physical strength further with time and exertion.
● You age far slower than a human and could reasonably expect to live for nearly three hundred years.
● Your senses are greatly enhanced beyond a normal human's, more in line with those of an animal. Your sense of smell, in particular, is massively enhanced and allows you to innately, almost magically, sniff out women with only the slightest traces, as well as things like whether they're virginal, fertile or other such things.
● You require far less food, drink and sleep than something your size normally would.
● You are the enemy of all women. You exude pheromones that induce arousal in women and heightens their sensitivity while lowering their inhibitions. These pheromones will affect any woman, regardless of power or whether or not she breathes. It's more like an aura, really. This can be toggled and controlled to affect certain targets. Willpower can influence their ability to resist the effects, but the quantity of your pheromones and their exposure to it massively increases the difficulty of resistance.
● Your bodily fluids, such as blood, saliva and, most importantly, semen, produce a more potent aphrodisiac effect. The smell or taste of it is addictive and incredibly pleasurable to experience whether it be on the skin, through the nose or inside the body. You may toggle which of your fluids has this effect, as well as which fluids each one creates a desire for, such as being affected by your blood making them desire your semen as opposed to making them want to bleed you dry.
● Your penis is enormous, a true bitchbreaker. You won't have any trouble fitting it in whatever hole you want, though. Whoever you stick it in won't feel any pain, perhaps an overfull feeling that approaches the point of pain at most, but will feel incredible pleasure instead.
● You have no refractory period whatsoever and can produce truly massive loads of semen, easily enough to inflate some poor woman until she looks almost grotesquely pregnant. You may control when you climax as well as how much semen you produce.
● You are ridiculously virile. Even a few drops of your semen making it into a woman's womb is enough to knock her up with 100% certainty, regardless of her fertility. You can control what the resulting offspring will be like, be it another full-blooded male orc like you, a half-orc mix between you and the mother or a simple full-blooded example of the mother's race. The pregnancy can take as long as it would normally or be shortened down to a few days at the most, with no negative side-effects.
● You may alternatively be some variety of female orc, if you'd like, and may switch all this stuff around to suit, however that works. Fanwank.
Essence of the Ultimate Chad.
By drinking a fluid of explosively awesome taste you turned into the Ultimate Chad.
● You gain a new body that sits at the peak of your species in capability, you may chose to look similar to your old self or look like someone completely different, in either choice your features will be enhanced to peak handsomess. Essentially making you into a walking wet dream.
● You became supernaturally good at sex; able to almost instinctively know what you partner want and need to make them feel good, even when it shouldn't be possible. This ability is so effective that you are able to turn even experienced primordial goddess of sex into babbling ahegao puddles.
● You gain infinite stamina when having sex, and your refractory periods are under your complete control.
● Your cum is extremely tasty, highly nutritive, and slightly addicting. Someone can easily live of a diet completely composed of your cum if they want/need, though they will become a junkie for it.
● You can only impregnate someone if you want to, and when you do the pregnancy is one hundred percent guaranteed even if it shouldn't be possible.
● Each of your sons will be Chads themselves, though of less potency than you, and each of your daughters will be extraordinarily beautiful Stacies that are destined to fall in love and lust to you.
● You have a passive ability to always say and do the right things to get into a woman's good grace, but only when you are not paying attention to it. When you are, and are actively trying to get into a woman's pants, this ability becomes active and you will supernaturally know what to say and do to achieve this goal. Be warned though, some women need more work than others, but you can woo anything with enough effort.
● Women in relationships are much more vulnerable to your charms than a woman who isn't. For example; it may take mouths of hard work to bone a lesbian feminazi that hates man with undying passion, but if this feminazi is in a happy lesbian relationship, it will only take a few weeks instead. Married women are particularly vulnerable to you, needing only a few days or hours of work.
● A woman that you successfully managed to have sex with becomes a 'conquest', and you may figuratively or literally mark her. Each of your conquests are moderated loyal to you on the moment of the first lay, is up to you how you foster this loyalty or let it die.
● You may influence the feelings a conquest have for you, from friendly attraction to undying, madding love. Though the process isn't instantaneous.
● For every woman you 'conquer', you gain one or several boons related to the powers and abilities the woman has. Normally, it's a copy of their power or ability, but it can be something similar or related to it. For example; you bang a common housewife, you learn how to cook, you bang a witch, you gain the
capability to use her kind of magic and learn several of her spells, you bang an kunoichi, you learn how to ninja, gain the ability to use chakra, learn several of her jutsus and maybe gain a copy of her bloodline ability.
● Each ability and power you gain have unlimited potential to grown and evolve even when they shouldn't. You can also unlock the hidden potential of the powers and abilities of your conquests during sex if you choose.
● You can now use sex to replace training; an hour of sex is the same as an hour of hard and fulfilling training, complete with insights and experience of how to use your powers and abilities better. This benefit is increased the more partners you fuck at the same time. This ability can be shared with the partner/s that you are having sex at the time with if you want.
● You learn how to do a complex tantric ritual that lets you travel to other worlds, however, the aim of this ritual is very faulty and you may end up in a world you didn't intend to go. There is also a 'cool down' period for the ritual to be used again; this can range from a few days to a full month depending on the world.
● You learn how to do a simple ritual to travel back to the worlds you've been before, these can be done in a few minutes and don't need a 'cooldown', however, each time you are in a completely new world, it will need time to tune your metaphysical presence to your relative position in the multiverse, reentering it
useless for a period of time that can range from a few days to a full month depending on the world.
● Fate itself conspire to make your life 'interesting' and throw hot women at your way, this can be a blessing or a curse.

General Build/Jump Notes
Holy shit, this ended up becoming WAY longer than I thought it'd be. On the one hand that makes me quite happy. On the other hand a LOT of thoughts are revealed here lmao.
I don't really know how to begin this slate of build notes. So I guess I'll start by expanding on the author notes of chapter 16 and give you a sort of behind the scenes look at how I think about stories.
I mentioned, at least in the QQ version of chapter 16 (this does get published to multiple places, namely Reddit & QQ), that originally the Adult Essence jump was gonna be a part of multiple different ideas for build/jump #2. That IS true. There's also an alternative version of this story that was focused entirely on the Etherscape setting mixed with the essence of the ultimate chad, starring essentially a suped up Nova who was the end-all be-all of chads. So the Adult Essence Jump, or at least something in it, was always gonna be a part of what this story ended up becoming.
I REALLY wanted Lalo to go to World of Lewd Elves or World of Lewd Fantasy, and I definitely still have those jumps on the list of jumps Lalo could realistically go too. After a while I started thinking of what would give Lalo the nicest mix of things and the broadest range of stuff he could do. I realized that Generic Bard was a better fit for Lalo after Monster School, partway through the beginning of chapter 15 and so I went and changed the… world-setting for this jump. When I do mixes like this I usually have a jump that more strongly affects setting things, and the other jump's effects on the setting, exempting drawbacks (which always have a healthy effect on the setting) will be minimal. In Jump #1 the weaker, setting-wise, jump was the magic essence jump, in jump #2 that was OoCS Beholders, and in Lucas's chain (the A New Chain story), for example, Lucas' third jump blended Generic Bar/Tavern Owner with Generic Merchant, and Generic Bar/Tavern Owner was the jump that had minimal effects on the setting. Generic Bard is the key world-shaper jump in this particular set, though there'll probably be some level of essence stuff.
And now we're here. Lalo has taken his first steps towards becoming a desire entity. This was something that Lalo inner-monologued about during intimate moments a decent amount while in Generic Monster School but a desire entity is a powerful creature that grows through sex, lust, love, and that kind of thing, from the Troyverse. This is NOT an official classification but something analogous to it IS part of the Troyverse canon because in the Grand Adonis CYOA it's mentioned that there is an order of prudes who hate beings who grow stronger through sex and all that stuff and try to stop them when they can (they are called the League of the Pure Hearted, and they are the inspiration for my "Order of haters" type drawbacks in the Troyverse transformation CYOA jumps). Multiple kinds of ascendants can do this, Grand Venuses do this, the Grand Adonis does this, and a bunch of other powerful beings from the Troyverse do this. Lalo is not conceptual when it comes to sex, but it's now a POWERFUL tool in his toolkit.
I've written about the adult essences the jump of the same name offers, including the one Lalo didn't take: the essence of the monster fucker, in this Reddit post. Worth noting: that post only talks about the BASE essences, and does not include what it'd be like having these essences as a jumper (especially one with OTHER essences). The ultimate chad is, in the long term, far and away the most powerful of these three essences, and is also probably the single biggest direct buff to Lalo that he's gotten this entire chain (it is incredibly powerful, it sounds like I'm exaggerating but this essence, among other things, gives you a new power every time you fuck someone new, lets you feed people with your sexual fluids, and has a passive seduction effect that stops being passive if you decide you want to have sex with someone, it's a LOT of different, solid powers rolled into one package), though the hentai orc is no fucking joke.
I did go out of my way to not do what I did for the Magic Essence jump which was to take a range of drawbacks and get a TON of stuff. Instead I took the minimal drawbacks I needed for what I absolutely wanted Lalo to have, and I decided to forgo getting all three essences. This is, in case its not super obvious yet, a chain where I'm allowing the jumper to visit many more jumps by me than I'd normally allow a real jumper with builds and point consideration to visit in shorter succession, but I am cognizant of the fact that plenty of my jumps tend to be beefy and so I want my baby, partial self-insert to be able to reap the benefits of my labor but I also want them to visit other settings and get cool stuff, and be challenged by cool stuff, from other settings. Finding the right balance has been an interesting experience haha.
I wanted to be patient and to not jump into getting the jumps I really wanted to snag right away which is a risk when you're writing a story and your muse is known, infamously, to be fickle. But I've waited and waited and now I can enjoy the fruits of patience a lot more happily, and also safely, than if I rushed into getting this jump.
There's some cool stuff in the perks and items that Lalo picked up BEYOND the essences themselves. I'll go ahead and mention Lalo's first money item, and his first house item, both of which are sick. The chad house item is a rocking mansion staffed by sexy people of your preferred gender, and the money item is a cool million dollars a year which translates to almost 100,000 a month (83.333K for the curious) with some neat properties if you invest the money. The hentai orc items are both pretty good as well, the more expensive of them is a banner that buffs your allies and nails your foes with any auric abilities you possess and the freebie item is a set of armor and a weapon keyed to your orcishness. The armor shapeshifts to always protect you somewhat and the weapon can deal as much harm as you want, even allowing you to do something like stab someone in the head and have them just be knocked out.
The perks here are nice. Adult Conveniences, which is a freebie, is a porn biology perk. One potentially very important bit for Lalo since he has a living alt-form now and is no longer JUST an undead guy who really looks alive, is that AC actually does offer one bit that none of the essences do: you can use sex to replace food, drink, and sleep. Some Troyverse places offer ways to do this, with the most famous example I can remember off the top of my head probably being Mars and the Zenith Human base physiology as the Memory of Satiety freebie base power lets you replace food, drink, and sleep with sex (and that's an amusing coincidence, because I was not thinking about that when I made the perk). Most forms of Troyverse immortality do just say you don't have to worry about stuff like that (though not all do, the earthly transformations tend to give you reasons to have sex as part of their immortality packages with the Incubus one saying that if you don't have sex daily you age every day you don't fuck, though you can still get back to your prime so long as you have sex enough times to essentially reset that clock, if I remember correctly).
We're gonna speed run some stuff now. The orc perks, in order of costs (from cheapest to most expensive): make you stronger and enhance your rate of becoming stronger when you train, make sex with you actually, literally restorative (so you can use it to train), gives you the power to share orchishness and/or youth and vigor with people (if you wanna add to your tribe), and the final perk here makes your attacks and other abilities way more effective against people of your preferred gender(s) as well as significantly reduces the effectiveness of their abilities against you and this effect gets worse the more attracted to you and the more aroused they are. All of these perks do extra stuff, but that last one is surprisingly brutal (it's inspired by some NSFW works having stuff where people attracted to orcs are weaker in battle against them). The chad perks, repeating what we did before: makes your relationships immune to the law and scrutinizing gazes so long as everyone consents and is an adult, generally just buffs your harem stuff, generally and significantly buffs charisma (even with people you're not attracted to), and finishes with you being a true chad in the leadership sense. Again all of these perks do more than that, but I wanted to give you an idea of what was going on. The orc perkline is much more about direct power and the chad perkline focuses on relationships and charisma. One of the hidden gems here is the perk that makes sex with you restorative, as perks that allow sex to heal OTHER PEOPLE aren't actually all that common in jumpchains. I can think of one, and I can think of several perks that make sex heal YOU, but a perk that allows you to help others by having sex with them is pretty out there.
Generic Bard. I've talked about Generic Bard before, because it's an Edrogrimshell class jump, and in much the same capacity as I'm a Troyverse and Essence Meta fan I'm an Edro fan. I breakdown the jump in this post from two years ago for anyone curious. There's some… HEAVY synergy with Lalo's whole deal here.
Okay so, items. Traveling Stage: an absolute MUST buy for me, I LOVE Edro's traveling items, I get all of them, guaranteed. Traveling Stage is a fun one, and if we do more Edro generic class jumps you should expect to see me buy traveling items. Muse is neat, and is also the most fun of the remaining items here as its cool to have a little spirit homie that can make you more creative, empathetic, and provides the more active buffs the Muse does. The rest of the items are freebies, A Place in the World is an anti-drop-in item that removes SOME of the negatives of being a drop-in by giving you a basic (at the tier Lalo has it) history, SOME knowledge of the setting, and removes the more dangerous drawbacks of being a drop-in like having no identification. An instrument is just an instrument, Lalo gets some basic stuff to help with his voice.
Lalo got a NICE slate of some heavy duty perks here. It did take smacking Lalo in the face with drawbacks, which is annoying, but Lalo is leaving this jump with a shocking set of additions to his toolkit. Some of the most shocking standouts to be added to our bois arsenal here include Chameleon: a fantastic perk for jumpers who want to do a range of different things even varying up their jobs monthly or weekly, our boy is now a psychometric (someone who can see an object's history with a touch), and Lalo can learn myths and stuff and draw power from them. Generic Bard has a secret function for a lot of early jumpers with three handy perks: Dabbler, Fine-Tuning, and Harmony, three perks that modify powers and their relationships. Dabbler is a passive training perk (these perks are insane, always grab one of these at SOME point in your chain unless you are doing some super themed chain), Fine-Tuning is an ability uncapper (it removes upper limits from your perks and powers), and Harmony protects you from your own powers as well as allows mutually exclusive powers to be used in tandem.
Fun Synergies & Conclusion
Lalo has a curiously beefy build now. This isn't THAT powerful, but we're starting to build something greater than the sum of its parts.
Lalo has two areas where he's HEAD and SHOULDERS above where lands elsewhere. In terms of charisma and magic Lalo is really fucking strong in comparison to everything else. He is extremely good at making friends, attracting partners, and now his sexuality is a weapon in and of itself, a full-fledged supernatural part of who he is. Lalo's magic saw surprisingly little direct buffs as a result of his perks and items, but it strongly shores up areas where he remains lacking. The utility of Lalo's magic, especially the array of status effects that this fucking monster can unleash thanks to Beholder stuff, is a nice way of keeping us from having to overly rely on raw physical stuff in a fight. The ability to wield both orc stats and beholder magic is one of the scary bits that comes with jumping as jumping involves the blending of abilities and settings.
Physically the Hentai Orc essence has given him his first taste of real-deal super strength and super speed. He was beyond peak-human before thanks to essences and the Hunter perk, but with this he's basically a baby superhero, and he has a fully automatic healing factor now albeit not one of the scary fast ones. In terms of direct stat buffs granted by perks and origins this is where Lalo got the biggest increase.
Lalo is now a D&D style skill monkey/Utility Party Member. This is the funniest upgrade our boy has gotten, as between Chameleon, Story Collector, Improvisation, and Chorus, even before someone examines stuff from Generic Monster School, and the charisma perks of the Ultimate Chad, or just the fun little bits of the three 100 point perks Lalo picked up in Generic Bard, Lalo has a strikingly intense ability to pick up skills. Lalo can now pretty easily find a way to slide his ass into any adventuring group/party. Funnily enough while Lalo lacks direct music and dance magic, he is just a really good performer thanks to both actual training he underwent in generic monster school and also a collection of perks that give him the ability to become a better performer even when he's not performing, by repairing instruments or even slotting in a music skill into dabbler and just letting it passively improve, which then gets shared to all other music stuff.
And all of this versatility of skills gets stronger when someone remembers that Lalo has a learning booster (which is now both not static and passively trainable), and he has the ability to just ask to get into a group if he's willing to spend a usage of his one and done "Just once" ace in the hole charisma power. It is just… Damn, man, like a lot of this would lose a significant amount of its umph if Lalo didn't go to past jumps and put in the work but because he's diligently honed stuff like magic, practiced charisma, learned to work with others, but because he did now we're seeing the vision.
There are still areas where the vision isn't fully complete yet. We started science stuff in Generic Monster School and it has yet to really make itself known in a big way (which is funny because science stuff has some of the biggest potential for completely upending settings), and Lalo has gained outright psychic abilities in Generic Bard with psychometry and an explicit danger sense courtesy of two 300 point perks. But what Lalo has gained is just… It's just next level. I'm AMPED for this next stage.
As far as like… REALLY specific stuff, there's powerful synergy between something like Hymns of the Ancient, the An Apple A Day perk, and the Chad abilities of knowing how to seduce anyone you want to seduce and getting powers by having sex with people. There's also a pleasant synergy between Hymns of the Ancient and Fine Tuning which is a perk that lets you train ANYTHING even stuff like blessings. Lalo's first blessing is essentially a consumable resource with targeted functions that is limited in supply and requires deliberate actions on Lalo's part to get more of.
Jumper: Enemy of their preferred gender makes Lalo's array of status condition inflicting magic REALLY mean to use against women. It would take a woman with immunity to a status condition to be able to shrug off the stuff, or someone who hasn't seen Lalo might be able to get sniped by a given ray and resist it, maybe. Honestly J:EOTPG is a wild perk overall, and in my speed run I earlier I left out some of what it does, but it's just a powerhouse.
I really like this build. I think it's very cool, particularly when meshed with Lalo has already gained and put in the work for. We're gonna have a lot of fun seeing how all of the stuff Lalo has collected gets to come together.
