Chapter 4 by Wulffclan Wulffclan

"So what next?"

Let's build!

"Now we find out what to do with you." Ashward said with a mischievous grin. "First off: the setting. Where do you want to go? High Fantasy with magic and dragons, Low Fantasy knights and kings with a pinch of magic, Modern Day superhero, Post Apocalyptic, Cyberpunk, Space Adventure or a mix of a few. Or do you have something specific in mind? Infinity is a huge place. if you have an idea, it probably already exists."

"Well, if I get to be as overpowered as you're implying I'd HAVE to go with High Fantasy. The possibilities are just too tempting. Umm, speaking of tempting, what's the rating on this?"

Ashward's mischievous grin grows even wider. "AAAAWWWW yeah! that's what I like to hear! Anything goes, my man! What's the point of being all powerful if you can't **** all that power?"

"Wait, I can just be an overlord who crushes the world beneath his heel?" I sound a bit taken aback by that.

"If that's what you want, but I gotta warn you, it's already been done. Like, the guy who fell asleep in the video game, he LITERALLY called himself UberLord. And AGAIN! Chose an avatar that can't even fuck if he wanted too! Honestly, THAT was the most compelling part of the story for me. Trust me, don't go down that path."

"Ok," I take a deep breath, "So let's go with a Human Male. They do fuck, right?"

Ashward chuckles, "Just about anything that moves."

"Great! On that note, are Demi-Humans on the table? Like Beastfolk, Elves, Orcs and such?"

"It's your world, we're just along for the ride."

"Do I get to choose my own backstory? Like, will you drop 37 year old Greg Miller in the middle of this world and say "Have at it.", or do I get to pick stuff like my age, my upbringing, hell, my body type?"

"Sky's the limit, buddy." he smiles looking up.

"Then in THAT case," I take a deep breath, "I'd like to wake up on my 18th birthday, the fourth son (sixth child) of a noble. Well off enough that I can pursue any career I want, but not so important as to play a vital role in the world as a whole. Maybe a Barons son. I don't really see a need to remember much of my past life. I may want to have memories of things like technology, medicine, TOILETS! I mean maybe we can change my memory of this conversation so that I know I'm Blessed By The Gods, but not on a live stream for their personal amusement? Or like a flash of genius that leads to things like indoor plumbing or aspirin?"

"We can work something out." he says. "Next up, your abilities. What do you plan to do in this new world, and what do you need to do it? You've already got the Noble thing going for you, so money won't be a problem, but you still need the skills to pay the bills."

"Wait! Better idea, I think I want to stay me. How about one of those worlds where monsters are food? Can you do that?"

Ashward cocks an eyebrow. "Uh, sure. I think we have some of those."

"Ok, drop me off there."

In the words of Dee Snyder: WHADDA YOU WANNA DO WITH YOUR LIFE?

More fun
