[CHAPTER END]

Yah. A bit short, I know. But this is just the prelude, remember.

At any rate, this gives me an opportunity to A: Go to sleep, and B: Explain some stuff.

In this quest I intend to give you guys a large amount of control over the development of the world. But to prevent things getting out of hand, you'll require certain essences to create certain objects. Without essences, our as-of-yet-unnamed protagonist will be unable to create anything more than simple, inanimate objects (Like rocks). Essences can be gained via interacting with already made objects, such as smashing a rock to produce Destruction essence, which could then be used to make a star. However, keep in mind that you can't simply smash rocks forever, as each repetition of an action will gain less and less essence, till the amount gained is negligible.

Creation of our Universe will begin next chapter. Feel free to think up whatever you like for then.

>>171798
Since I might not have a chance later I will suggest here now.

Start by creating two megaplanet sized rocks and smash those together at near light speed for a massive bang and hopefully a large amount of destructive essensce. Use that to create several stars with life potential, it's class F that's best for terrestial life right?

>>171800
our sun is a class G so i would think those would be best.

>>171801
G class it is then. Wasn't sure which class dear old Sol is.

He/she/it has remembered his/her/its goal.

Obtain Mountain Dew to replenish Reserves.

Then cast Magic Missile on the Darkness.

Also I have a theory. Is Vision Man a Weaver? Are we Weaving a new world?

>>171984

That last image was more of a joke panel than anything actually contributing to the quest. :P

But as for Weavers, I'd have to say he isn't one. I'm certainly basing this quest heavily off WeaverQuest, but I think I'm blatantly ripping off enough from there as it is. :P

Besides, it wouldn't fit with the plot/backstory I've got planned out.

>>172088
another way to get tons of destruction is to make a rock that is so massive that it a micron away from collapsing into a black hole, then throw a pebble at it.

I think the Fact that there is No sound Here apart from my own thoughts is what makes Me Think so Loudly.

The sound is oddly Comforting.

make a super massive rock, so big that it's own gravity almost turns it into a black hole. then throw a pebble at it to force it to undergo total collapse. if that doesn't get you a billion points of destruction then i don't know what will.

Create several rocks. If the rule of gravity works here, the rocks will slowly drift into each other over time and form a body. Enough rocks with heavy elements and eventually you get a sun. Big bang is not really necessary as it only scatter rocks.

Or we can go the extremely inefficent method of converting energy to matter...

Making a black hole would take ages. And since I'd have to be right next to it to make it...

The colliding rocks thing could work, however.

not really, juts make a single rock whose size puts it just barely under the Schwarzschild radius. then back up like a light year and throw a pebble at it.

Make fire!

That could work, if I knew what the Schwhatzamajigger radius was. Besides, the larger the rock, the longer it takes to create. Something my size can be made in just a few seconds, but to make something significantly larger would take some time.

Then again, its not like I have anything else to do.

At the moment, all I have is Basic Essence, limiting my choices somewhat, but I have an infinite supply at my disposal.

if you can't make it due to it being radio active then just use Caesium, it still makes a fuck huge explosion when put in water.

also, due to diminishing returns we need to make sure the first time we do something is ridiculously massive.

not bang, scrape it.

>>172481
Well, you could make shucking motions, striking the flint against the steel at oblique angles in the same direction repititiously to create a spark....


OR since you can create matter, just creat some matter that is already hot as hell (should feel more squirmy to you on account to heightened energy state) and apply it to something flammable, another thing you can make (Perhaps a lake of oil to provide light for the whole of creation? A vast bubbling sea of primordial oil, perpetually burning at the base of existence, providing light from below.

Smoke gets pooled on top of biggest rock, start making a soot planet, plant stuff in soot, tadah, evolution takes over.

Just to make sure, you've got air, right? Because you are going to need air.

>>172487
oh yeah, oxygen. need a fuck ton of that stuff.

>>172488

I'm not sure, but I think there is air here. And... I do not wish to be blown up. Is there any way to light this thing from a distance?

Lighting it from a distance would require telekinetic abilities. Or a handy rock tool to manipulate them from a safe distance.

A tool, you say? So... How would that work?

Large, light, simple rocks that make little circles at the end to hold the flint and steel, then with handles on the other end for you. It'd be clumsy and difficult to use, but it's all I got.

Sorry for double post, just wanted to add this.

If you think it'd be too heavy, you could always make them hollow.

>>172506
>>172507
So... Something like this? Weight isn't too much of an issue, due to the lack of gravity here. And we won't have to worry about the flint and steel being held firmly, because I can form the rock around them, if I concentrate. But that still leaves some problems.

The longer I make the rock-tongs, the safer I am, but the harder it will be to move the tongs, and make them scrape against each other. We need to either invent something to help me maneuver them, or get the perfect balance of length and not-burning-and-screaming-and-pain.

Could make yourself unflamable rock armor. This is something I never considered before. Probably still best to be further away, you'd need eyeholes to see what you're doing, and eyes burn.

But yeah, that's pretty much my idea right there.

So, protective armor, and a balance of safety and control, I think would work well. I could probably come up with something else given enough time, but I would need to draw it. And my drawing skills are pretty limited.

[End Chapter]

...Light it from a distance? You could ignite a small piece of sulfur and then toss that at the big piece.

Sulfur. You're burning sulfur. I hope you don't have a nose.

Anyway, back up a significant distance from the sulfur, make a long rock, and small spheres of pure phosphorous. Phosphorus burns very hot and does not tend to explode, so you can light those spheres with your flint and steel, then use your rock bat to knock the burning spheres towards the sulfur rock, taking pot shots until you hit it.

You also might want to figure out how to make some solid oxygen and solid nitrogen. They should sublimate quickly (and become very cold!). You may not need to breathe, but concentrations of oxygen and nitrogen will let you regulate how hot and fast a flame burns. More oxygen = hotter, faster. More nitrogen = slower, cooler.

Hey you know what's even easier to explode?

URANIUM

Just clamp down on it and...

Ahah, really? Thanks! I didn't think it was all that good for my first attempt.

Anyway, I heard a few of your mutterings earlier, but wasn't really paying attention... Umm...

>>172520
This... Is a good idea. Would the sulfur burn out before it hits, though?

I like the part where I am far away from the boom.

>>172556
I don't have a nose. I can still smell, though. I suppose you'd call me gaseous?

Phosphorous, eh? Sounds good to me. But then we have the moving-tongs-around difficulty still.

Could I combine those ideas, maybe?

As for the nitrogen/oxygen thing, well, its an explosion. Doesn't really need controlling. Though I think that knowledge could come in handy later.

Well, our options appear to be either throw fiery balls of death, or throw nuclear balls of death.

What should I do?

>>172856
Ohhh, we could also just plain make a fuse. A long stick of something attached to the thing we want to blow up. Light the far end and run away.

The best fuse is a string laced with gunpowder or alcohol or some other accelerant. However you're a bit limited in material types...

How about a long piece of iron or other simple non-flammable material, with a light coating of sulfur crystals?

That's probably energy. As in power. As in electricity.

>>184393

Uhhh... What? Cheeseburger?

Come to think of it, I can't remember the last time I ate. I'm pretty hungry...

And... A house? Eh, maybe. Basic Essence is pretty easy to work with, but making something hollow is hard. 2D is easy, but 3D tends to come out as a block or blob. I'd have to design interlocking pieces or something...

>>184459

Hell yes they should. If I manage to figure out how to make life before I starve to death, I'm totally going to be lord of all existance, and my stony visage shall gaze upon the mere mortals below, forever a reminder to them of my might!

...Ok, I got a little carried away there.

>>184844
Wait... what DO you eat? Try creating a tiny rock and swallowing it. Then tell me if you feel sick.

well, let's see. you got a star, and a planet. is the planet molten in the center? that's important. next add a shit-ton of water all over it and make the terrain uneven so you got continents and oceans. finally need an atmosphere. do you want carbon based, nitrogen based, or if you want to be fancy, silicon based. this determines what gas mix would be best.

>>184844

I'm... not entirely sure if the core is molten. When I set it up, it was orbiting at a bit of an odd angle, and a few cracks and volcanoes appeared. But I threw a few asteroids at it, and that seemed to fix it up. Also, it was really cool to watch. Heheh.

As for water... I can't make it with Basic Essence. Which is odd, because what I can remember of life before the void definitely had some old guy telling us what water was made of. And it wasn't that complex.

Basic Essence must be just for rocks.

This is how much I have. How much should I use for our little test run? And what should I do with it?

>>185115

From the looks of the symbol, it's probably electricity. Try putting the mystery essence into one iron rock, and putting another iron rock close to the first one.

You can make water pretty easy with basic essence. Just make some Hydrogen rocks and some Oxygen rocks, like you did with Sulfur, and when they boil away ignite the mixed gases. It'll make a huge explosive fwoop, and what's leftover is water!

Making life, however, is... not very easy. I hope you don't eat hamburgers because if so you're going to be awfully hungry for the next 5 billion years.

That's really weird, considering water has a lot simpler molecular structure than rock.

I have no idea how to do water with what you have, though...

>>185127

>>185205
Okiedokey. I'm getting better with basic now. Look! No hands! I just need to sort of push with my mind, and it appears.

So, am I going with the two-iron-rock plan, or should I just chuck that mystery essence at this and see what happens?

>>185216
I think 1% is enough of an investment to see if it does anything on its own.

or can you use less then that? like 0.000001% or something?

Told you.

mystery essence = life.

btw how did you lit the sun? is it a huge sulphur thing?

can you make ice crystals? failing that, oxygen and hydrogen should be a common find in coal and acids. burn them together and you may get water.

a very dirty, non drinkable water.

Okay, try some of that mystery stuff on the big planet.

>>185387

Coal what.

Coal is waaaaaay more complex than water. I was thinking basic could only do solid elements, like sulfur, iron, oxygen and hydrogen. Hydrogen should be the easiest of all in fact. In fact, I bet that rage sun over there is pretty much pure hydrogen, crushed into ignition by the gravity of your rage.

At any rate, cheeseburger woo!

You might wanna save that "organicicizing" essence for making stuff that reproduces itself... like a cheeseburger tree.

You people are silly.

It's Cheeseburger Essence/Food Essence, not Life Essence. Look, the symbol even looks like a Cheeseburger now that you know what you're looking for in it.

Alright, Slater, cast Cheeseburger on the planet and we'll never be hungry again!

You may not have heard me too well through the munching, but I don't think that it's Cheeseburger Essence. On the grounds that essences simply do not work like that.

>>188933
Mmmm, well, both the planet and the sun are fairly dense, made of iron and... burning... stuff... respectively. The statue is mostly just rock, however. I'd have to either figure out a way to make it more dense, or make a new moon entirely from scratch.

Well you don't wanna mess with your sun or planet, try compacting your statue, making it smaller?

maybe that odd one is transform? you were hungrey so you were thinking about food when you used it on the rock. try turning your statue into pure lead. or gold if you want to be fancy.

yes, and think of it looking the same but made of solid gold.

that would be too much of a waste.

do it thinking in the primordial soup right after setting water on the planet.

>>189766
Hmm. We made Mystery and Destruction from blowing up that big chunk of sulfur right?

I wonder if it was because we combined two different types of materials and then did something with them? As in, with the fuse and stuff.

Make a whole lot of random types of rocks and mush them together then set them on fire or something!

no no no. we will do ultra chemistry by putting a solid block of oxygen and a solid block of hydrogen on the planet. it will then turn to a gas in the light of the sun and combine into water.

You have a little... cheeseburger on the side of your mouth. I'd say go with making atmosphere for you planet. If you can manage it.

Hmm. Seems pretty likely. Random rock-firing time, then?

Mystery Essence is Mystery Essence. It is whatever you need it to be. Perfect explanation, no?

[End Of Chapter]

GAME OVER MAN, GAME OVER

You didn't need anything, so the Requirement Essence made you need medical help, so it can be required.

[I have no imagination. Roll a d100, first roll is used. Roll a d(however many options there are, +1 for any options you wish to suggest). Again, first roll is used.

Note: Species is picked randomly from the orginal races of Slater's homeworld. Objects may result in the creation of artifacts, which can do interesting things. Timer for Quest change is in updates. GUI, feel free to submit your own, otherwise I'll just see what I can make. System change means changing from the current D20 based system.Ignore n= in overlap, typo.]

[Reason for this: I haven't slept in two days and can't brain. Although I have the majority of theplot planned -before- Slater ended up in the void, have little after this point.

Go ahead and break my quest. :D]

rolled 74 = 74

>Go ahead and break my quest. :D

I think I love you a little bit...

C'mon random world wacky antics...

>>194552
[74! Falls in the range of Misc/Other. Roll a d2 to decide which option gets done, or suggest another and roll a d3.

And I love you too. :3]

rolled 3 = 3

---

[Wow totally didn't notice that update you need to draw a picture >_>]

Suggesting quest change!

rolled 1 = 1

---

>>195745
What, the entire quest? That seems extreme.

Here let me just roll a d2.

[Uh. You kinda... rolled a d3 there. When there's two choices. Also, I'll post with pictures from now on. :P]

>>195753
[Actually, I was kinda hoping for a quest change. Had something planned for it. Anyway, looks like its System Change.]

[We're currently running off a d20 based system. As part of the system change effect, you may...

Add "Knowledge": This will allow the spending of 50% of a non-basic essence in order to recieve a information page about it, outlining its capabilities, possible sources, and allowing the essence's use with Essence-compatible artifacts which may be found. Knowledge pages on subjects such as how abilities affect things, different races, and history may also be unlocked via spending 20% of each currently attained essence, though some may be restricted depending on Slater's Memory percentage.

Reroll: Redistribute Slater's ability points as you see fit. You will have 30 points. It costs 1 point per attribute up to 14, 2 points for 15-16, 3 for 17-18, and 4 for 19-20. No attribute may be below 8, but 0-8 costs no points. Note that these 30 points mean whatever you choose, Slater is likely to have more points in every attribute than he currently does. (As right now he's only used 18 points.)

Feats: Anyone familiar with the newer versions of the d20 system should know what these are. Think up a feat, if it's reasonable, it's added to Slater. (Something like "Strong mind: Slater's sanity is no longer decreasing while in the void, and he takes half penalty from sanity degrading effects.") Note that durations are measured in updates and chapters, rather than rounds, turns, days, etc.

Spell Bar: Slater gains a quickbar at the bottom of the screen. Essence actions may be placed or removed from the bar at any time, though they take one update to be useable. These actions require only half the essence usually required, and need no preparation time.

COMPLETE SYSTEM OVERHAUL: Suggest your own system! Pretty self explanitory, really.

Note that should this concequence board reappear in the future, effects may interact. Eg, you could take SpellBar now, and then get a "Spells from spellbar cost 10% less essence after cost is halved" feat.]

Feat - Self-Determination

Slater becomes immune to compulsions.

Or

Feat - Memory Lock

Slater's memory stays intact through processes that would degrade it.

>>196709
Feats... how about "Efficient Construction: Slater uses 25% less Essence."?

If not that, I like that "Strong mind: Slater's sanity is no longer decreasing while in the void, and he takes half penalty from sanity degrading effects." thing.

OKAY THEN GREAT CAN WE HAVE NEXT CHAPTER
