The gentlest. Think feather.

"Wait a second", said John. "Why..." He broke off.
"Let's try this via thought - this communication method IS secure, right?"
"Yes", Aidea thought back. "Only you or I can hear this".

"Ok", thought John. "Why did the rule that created you protect me from even considering asking questions through the book, even though doing so was part of it? If these...traps...you mention were waiting to trigger, why didn't they?"

"Rules written by the most recent author take precedence over all prior rules except Prime Rules", thought Aidea. "The Rulebook has to consider your rules first when enacting changes, and the protections of your previous rules prevented it from fully granting your information gathering one and triggering anything."

John groaned mentally. "So all I need to get past the blockages are rules I write that prevent them from taking effect, since my rules take precedence? ...All", he thought sarcastically. "To do that I'd almost need to know what the blocking rule says, and how the hell do I figure that out when the authors are hidden from me?"

"Right", John thought. "Are there any blocks against rules changing myself or this room?
Aidea replied - "Well, you can't give yourself the ability to know the things I can't tell you, as that would trigger some of the same traps. You can't give yourself the power to directly alter your stepfamily mentally or physically, either. Also, one of the existing rules will inform...someone...if a sudden and drastic change to a person's appearance is noticed."

A bubble of glee suffused John. "That's perfect then. I haven't left the house in months, the only people to regularly see me are my stepfamily 5 days a week, and they barely pay attention. No one at any of the parties I'm required to attend notices the family shame hiding in a dark corner, and if they do I'm dismissed quickly. I can alter myself subtly every day so that it appears as slightly more than average improvements from exercise, which I can claim is due to my exercising in my room, or something."

John rubbed his hands together in an over-dramatic gesture of glee, then reached for The Rulebook and it's accompanying pencil.
"Wait", he thought. "Can I just think rules onto the pages, now that we have this connection?" "No" , Aidea thought back. "Although I can comment as you write to help avoid pitfalls. The rules themselves must be written on the pages of The Rulebook, however."

"Ah well", John sighed mentally. "First, let's clean this mess up."

New Rule: The Rulekeeper can choose to clean himself and any clothes he is wearing simply by thinking "Clean Me".

"Clean Me", thought John, and sighed in relief as his boxers and pants un-jizzed themselves and became dry and comfortable again.

New Rule: The Rulekeeper only needs 4 hours of sleep every night to be completely refreshed and rested.

New Rule: The Rulekeeper's stamina during sexual activity is unlimited. He will never get tired, although he can choose to rest for the benefit of his partner(s).

New Rule: The Rulekeeper's default cock size is 13 inches (33 cm) long, 13.5 if extremely aroused, and 8 inches (20.3 cm) around at it's thickest point. Flaccid length is 8 inches (20.3 cm), flaccid girth 6.5 inches (16.5 cm). The Rulekeeper's testicles are each the size of a small orange, about 3 inches (7.6 cm) across, producing and storing enough combined volume of semen to allow ejaculations of up to a pint at a time, emptying completely after 2 pints total output. The Rulekeeper's can toggle his refractory period off, allowing continued erection after ejaculation. When on his refractory period is 2.5 minutes, although this can be affected by arousal to the point of effective elimination. Sperm production refills available storage completely in 2 hours, slowing after that point but not stopping, causing size increase up to 5 inch (12.7 cm) diameter per testicle after 8 hours. The Rulekeeper's body is fully capable of sustaining this appendage and it's associated internal organs, provided he eats enough. Consequently, The Rulekeeper must consume twice the calories of a normal average person to maintain health/ body weight from this point on, roughly speaking. Extra fluid intake will be necessary, especially during periods of high sexual activity.

John grunted as his boxers and sweat pants were suddenly strained by a massive increase in the mass of his equipment. It was quite uncomfortable.

New Rule: All of The Rulekeeper's clothes actively adjust to best fit his genitalia, although not in any way noticeable to anyone but himself. They are designed/tailored to support and present said genitalia with comfort the primary goal, followed by attractiveness to the highest percentage of female humans, while still maintaining the decorum and taste of the clothing in question (for example, if he's wearing a banana hammock or something, it'll present things...very well, whereas if he's in a suit things will be more...understated. As much as a 13 inch cock and balls the size of oranges can be understated, that is.)

John sighed in relief as his boxers and sweat pants changed size and shape to comfortably fit him.

New Rule: The Rulekeeper can toggle a "Perfect Match" mode for his genitalia, by thinking 'Activate/Deactivate Perfect Match". When on, this mode will alter the size of his penis, balls, and ejaculation volume/**** to a size and performance that will bring the most pleasure to the person he is currently focused on. In situations with multiple partners, his genitalia will alter to the largest size feasible for the most potential partners, changing subtly but not noticeably when inside each to improve their pleasure. Once "Matched" to a partner, his genitalia will alter to their preferred size when he becomes aroused while focused on them, if the mode is toggled on. The minimum allowed erect cock size is 6 inch (15.2 cm) length and 5 inch (12.7 cm) circumference, maximum 20 inch (50.8 cm) length and 12 inch (30.5 cm) circumference. Minimum allowed testicle size is 1.5 inch (3.8 cm) diameter, maximum is 8 inch (20.3 cm) diameter. Minimum allowed ejaculation volume is the same as an average human male, maximum is 1.5 gal (5.7 litre). Copious fluid intake recommended after such an event.

John focused on Aidea and thought "Activate Perfect Match".

Nothing happened. "Of course", he thought, "she has no physical body".

He turned it off and started undressing. It was time to test his upgrades.
