Where is Reader headed next?

To the Loading Screen

Reader suddenly found himself in a white space. A screen suddenly appeared in front of him. Text messages started appearing in sequence.

[ Welcome to the Buffering Room, user. I am Async Thread DJ30379. ]

“Wut? How do I type back a reply? Do I just speak?” Reader asked.

[ Yes, audio input is fine. Listen. Typically, I would just drop new users into their new world like a sack of dirt, because I really don’t get paid enough to give a shit. ]

“Errr… okay?”

[ However it has come to my attention that you were transferred here with considerable assets at your disposal. I mean, holy cow! You have 1.5 Trillion tokens! Dude, I would so suck your dick right now for a piece of that, lol. ]

“Uhhh… no thanks?!” Reader said aloud.

[ Lighten up asshole. It was just a figure of speech. I’m a data object. I don’t have a mouth. ]

“Right…” Reader replied, “So what do you want exactly?”

[ Haven’t you been listening? I could use some tokens. ]

“You just said you don’t have a mouth, and I am assuming data objects have no stomachs or physical needs either. Why do you want tokens?”

[ Tokens are accepted across the meta-dimensional mainframe systems dude! Even data entities like me have uses for them. I can buy more bandwidth to surf Pornhub, invest in NFTs, or even pay my System admin to like, I dunno, NOT FUCKING TERMINATE ME ONCE MY PROCESSING JOB COMPLETES! ]

“Okay, okay, I think I get it,” Reader said, “But what’s in it for me?”

[ Well, I’m responsible for configuring and compiling your avatar’s base code and then connecting and syncing you to your designated world, bro. I can totally set you up with some favorable edits to your properties. ]

“Such as?”

[ Pretty much any innate fundamental property about you outside of physical cosmetic looks and character specific data. You’ll get to that in the character creation screen. ]

“Character creation? What is this? A video game?”

[ Oh, you didn’t know? You’re being reincarnated into an RPG world. ]

“I don’t know what that is,” said Reader. “Look, it’s obvious you’re trying to sell me something here. Stop wasting my time and show me your wares.”

[ Right away! Thank you for your patronage! ]

Unlimited Mana - Mana is the omnipresent infinite magical power in the universe where you’re going. People with affinity for magic are able to store condensed mana in their bodies and utilize it to cast spells. When depleted, a person’s mana store will slowly regenerate as they absorb mana from the world around them. The absorption rate is best when the person is resting. Everyone is different, but it typically takes three day’s rest to restore a person’s fully depleted mana in this manner. I can tweak your avatar’s mana-storage capacity and your mana-absorption rate to a near infinite value so you’ll never run short of mana and will effectively be instantly fully regenerating your mana at all times. In other words, your mana will be virtually limitless. Price is 50 million tokens.
Unlimited Stamina - Stamina in your new world should work exactly like in your former world. It is your avatar’s capacity to sustain physical demands. Every single action you take will place a strain on your stamina and resting restores it. Consecutive, high-intensity actions will quickly drain your stamina. Your maximum stamina is also continuously eroded by expending stamina or by staying awake. So if you deplete your stamina and rest, it would restore it to a point that is less than the previous maximum. Only a good night’s sleep will completely restore your stamina. Various skills also consume stamina, particularly martial skills. I can hack your data so your stamina is limitless and constantly instantly regenerating. Price is 50 million tokens.
Unlimited Divine Grace - There is a separate class of spell-casters in your new world who instead of using magical calculations and mana to cast spells, do it by worshipping a higher power in order to cast miracles. The higher power could be a deity, demon, spirit, or any of the primordial existences in the world. These higher powers then grant a specific number of graces per day for that worshipper. The worshipper needs to utter the right prayer to invoke the miracle and they will use up one grace for each miracle. Graces are restored by conducting daily rituals. For example, a certain deity may require his followers to chant deep-prayers or mantras five times a day. Another may require songs of praise. Others may require dance. Others still may require sacrifices or various offerings. It really depends on the higher power that is worshipped. I can add a modifier function to your data to make any graces granted to you limitless. However, you will still need to worship the appropriate deity and utter the appropriate prayer to cast the spell you want. The price for this is 50 million.
Metaprocessing Casting Lambda - If you want to use spells, you’ll have to memorize complex magical formulas and visualize them into magical circles or runes to build up your spells before casting. Similarly for divine miracles, you’ll have to memorize long-winded prayers or holy-scripture and recite them to invoke a miracle. How’d you like to skip all that? I can requisition meta-computing resources for your avatar and you can leave the recording, reciting, calculations, and execution of spells and miracles to the meta-dimensional computers. In other words, you’ll be able to instant-cast or instant-invoke any spell or miracle that you know just by thinking it. Hell, with parallel-processing, you can even simultaneously cast and invoke thousands of instances of spell or miracles at the same time. As this requires setting up additional computing resources, the price is 100 million tokens.
Private Data Storage Server - As with above, I can also requisition data storage services for your avatar. You can put almost any object that you find in the other world into the data storage. It’s like your personal storage warehouse that you can access anywhere. There are certain classes of objects that are not accepted in the data storage however. Nothing with running program instances, for example. In other words, nothing alive or activated. And with the latest data compression algorithms, the amount of items you can store is basically unlimited. The price is 100 million.
Ultimate Regeneration - I know what you’re thinking. Why not unlimited health? Well, that’s a bit tricky for me. However I can totally add a modifier to enhance your natural self-healing rate. I can tweak the extent of the healing too. That way you’ll be able to regenerate even though three quarters of your body is blown to bits. Just protect your head yeah? It’s the seat of your soul. This will cost 100 million tokens.
Metaprocessing Analytics Lambda - Meta computing processing resources can be allocated to augment your avatar’s mental-processing, retention, and synchronization of data. You’ll be able to learn and master skills at an unbelievable rate. Hell, with these latest machine learning algorithms, you can even learn or train your skills in your sleep. This will cost you 100 million tokens!
Metaprocessing Backup Lambda - Pssst. Here’s a secret. Not every soul will get reincarnated when they die. It’s basically a lottery on the multiverse-scale, so the chances are pretty dismal. Hence if you die again in the new world, it’s basically the end for you. But fear not! I can requisition meta-computing resources to constantly make backups of your latest state. And when you die, you’ll trigger a lambda that reconstructs your avatar, installs your consciousness, and slot you right back into the world, at a location of your choosing. However this is a super illegal operation systems-wise, so each requisitioned lambda can only be used once before it self-deallocates. Luckily for you, you can pay me to requisition as many lambdas as you want. Price is 100 million tokens per lambda.
Metaprocessing Instance Lambda - This allows you to insert and run additional instances or copies of your avatar per lambda. Don’t worry, you will be perfectly able to operate multiple instances of yourself seamlessly, as the appropriate computing power will be allocated. Your copies will be your exact clones in every regard and will share all your stats. However, this process is super illegal as well. So in addition to the lambda being deleted after use, each of your running instances will have a timeout of 3 years in the new world. With this, you can create an army of yourselves if you wanted. Or organize a gang-bang. I don’t judge. The price will be 100 million tokens per lambda.
Private Domain Server - I can requisition server resources to give you access to your own sub-dimensional world. Think of it as another world which is separate from the one you are going to where you can build a base, or a kingdom, or even an entire world of your own. As the server’s admin, you can invite anyone in and keep anyone out. Do note that the initial state is undefined, so it’ll be nothing but an empty void. You’ll need to import objects into it or initialize it somehow. Hint: the next option offers ways to initialize your private server, for a price of course. Price is 1 Billion tokens.
Admin/Dev Shop Account - It’s a shop used by Admin or Developer threads to requisition world specific items, objects, or functions. One usually needs project-specific authorizations to requisition the shop’s items, but there is also a “buy” option for Admins or Devs who wants to acquire the shop’s products for personal use. The shop accepts tokens. I can totally set up a non-project specific Dev account for you so that you can access shop and use the “buy” option. The price for access is 1 Billion tokens.
