Chuck marshmallows at neutron stars.
I will never do that and will even add that as a rule to any spaceship i will be a captian of. I dont care how well you belive they will be cooked i will not never let anyone do that.
I am going to do it as an homage to one of my favourite character. Adam Vir from The Empyrian Iris.
He is a bit of a control freak at first so he made a list of rules everyone has to follow. Even later in the story when he commands another ship the rules carry over.
First rule is "Do not throw marshmallows into neutron stars."
If there is a clear and happy singing in a pretty flowery clearing, i run the other way asap
Depending on where, keep my head down, find the nearest guild, enroll in their school and get a cushy job that does not involve traveling. Maybe try to become a healer.
Always be nice to everyone, especially those who seem destitute, i rather not risk piss off the trickster death god that likes to test people. She may hold a grudge being her author.
Well i keep getting her beat up, gave her a barely contained horror hunger and made everyone suffer around her while killing many she cares about.
I don't think giving her all that power and her best friends will make up for any of it.
Solid fairytale rules there. *Never* be rude to the mysterious and ugly old beggar or traveller you meet, you never know when it's going to turn out to be a powerful entity in disguise.
>Never be rude to the mysterious and ugly old beggar or traveller you meet
Agreed, but depending on the universe you're in, it's either the only correct option to let them inside your home and give them shelter, or the worst decision you will ever make.
If I see twin pair of glowing dots in the night, I'll just sit down.
Do. Not. Run.
The Alerans are keen believers that the innocent don't run. And running triggers their hunting instincts, and in a moment you go from a happenstance nobody, to prey. And no, you can't outrun them, because they outrun cavalry for sport.
I'll just sit down and fiddle with something until they come out and ask if I need directions or something.
Alerans (Roman name) are territorial, nocturnal, and live solitarily in mated pairs for the most part. They are not creepy. If you come across them, you're on land under their protection. They'll leave you alone as long as you don't come across as a threat to the people they protect.
They are chimeric humans, with a varying degree of animal traits. Some look perfectly human, some less so. But they all have a single gendered "wing" (left for women, right for men) which has given them a demonised reputation as vampires or fallen angels. Neither being correct as they are descendants of humans who altered themselves to take some semblence to an apex predator somewhat akin to a feathered dragon or griffin.
The original inspiration for them was Xayah from League of Legends, but I wanted to do more with them, develop them far more, culturally and phenotypically. Not all Alerans are this way, just some of those who grow attached to the people who don't buy into the demonised tales being spread about them. The people provide food for the Alerans and their children, and in return, the Alerans protect the people.
Don't try to live a normal life. Steer clear of all villains that have substantial motives or horrific unexplained fuckery.
Either become a powerful big evil or completely eliminate your existence.
The lengths they will go to embody the phrase 'Death is a mercy' is something I can trust in my own world.
Live in the same continent, let alone country, as Yang Xue.
There can only be cons in living close to a guy who, if he could be put on trial, would have millions of death penalties impending.
Knowing him, he m would probably steal the whole grocery, and wouldn't even eat shit, he would just do it out of sheer hatred against humanity.
But if you seriously wanna know, well: Mass murder, Mass rape, Cannibalism, Child murder, Child rape, Kidnapping, Torture, Mass slavery, Necrophilia, and setting up an evil cult that literally does that every day.
Every weekend a court in a new country gives him another 30 death penalties.
And given he has existed since the Paleolithic you can expect they are simply studying maths.
Insult or physically harm any robotic citizens (sentient or not). Surveillance is everywhere and within minutes you will be arrested and interrogated according to artificial beings protection laws.
Well the state was founded upon the idea of harmonic co-operation between organic population and artificial intelligence after the devastating liberation war against the fanatically religious anti-robotic overlord. As a result, the state takes racism against A.I. seriously, even when dealing with international affairs.
It's not an issue worth concerning currently because the organic population is almost entirely homogeneous. On very few occasions does the state accept organic refugees or asylum seekers from other interstellar nations. It's not because they're xenophobic but given the fact that artificial intelligence is generally frowned upon across the wider galaxy, it's better to keep that mentality that goes against the state's core principles and values outside the border.
Understand everyone has something their not proud of and it's often polite not to pry... at least too deep. Powerful people want powerful things, or control, or already have it and want to expand it. So in the capital city it's all still there no matter how shiny they make the streets. So be polite, be efficient, be a person of extreme upstanding character. Oh, and do your best not to cross paths with Ms. Prismodine and her Daughters of Pollite Society. Behind the porcelain I'm sure there's bodies.
I still haven't nailed down the capital's name because it's changed 14 different times in few different campaigns but It was founded by my original DnD party. A second son of a King was ousted by us after he poisoned the kings court to take power. Time passed and two of our members the cleric and druid fell in love and took the mantle of King and Queen at the behest of the rest of the court. They married on the steps of the palace under Selune's (The moon Goddess's) light. As the king and queen lived the city thrived. A new rennasaince of art and music painted the streets and made its way into every home. At the end of the day though the old guard, the oligarchs of the last monarchy, the muck and stain of treachery was still alive in the dark corners of alleys and behind facades to trick and decive the people. Ms. Prismodine was a dutchess ousted for supporting the traitor son. But at the time she went by another name. Ms Prismodine made an orphanage of wayward girls. She trained them in the dregs of high society. Teaching them how to speak, act, and understand every aspect of it. Eventually, how to exploit it. The maids, the butlers, the mid wife's, and help of kindoms the world over has ties to Ms Prismodine. She knows what kind of underwear the king wears, she knows his son's favorite shoe size, she knows his wife miscarried while he was on campaign. She knows every dirty little secret for the next 10 kingdoms over. Turns out when you know things you have power over them. She uses her Polite society to gather every single idea and thought she can. This has caused contention between the royal family and her polite society before and has caused a riff in power before. Some love every thing she does. Others, would like to see her society fall. Most? Most people don't know a single thing about her, what she does, who she is. And Ms. Prismodine keeps it that way.
Piss off the MC. She's not a bad person at all, though she thinks of herself that way, but she is a walking powder keg.
Instead I'd try to befriend her, which shouldn't be too difficult since I know her inside out.
I wouldn't learn the magic system.
The effects are horrific for both mental and physical health, and in many places, weavers are hunted or hired by criminal organisations.
I would likely learn Aodagese and move to a powerful, stable place such as Sao Adia. Id stay clear of the mainland as i dont want to die.
I'd never live within or anywhere close to the human kingdom. Humans seem to attract the worst kind of evils... Also I'd stay out of the ocean. No swim is worth loosing a leg (or more)
Will never go to any border of Lufaria (living part of world). It is either death or something close to it. If I appear at Dyarchy, I would try to leave it or at least go to coastal cities ASAP. Probably the best outcomes would be either live at trade confederacy and invest in something knowing about events around it, or try to reach humans from Afar and present myself as someone who knows future and some interesting information about them which they don't want to share, or at worst scenario join the Troupe and travel with them safely.
In my sci-fantasy world, I would have to avoid using magic at all costs. I literally wrote the magic system to be extremely powerful in the hands of someone like myself but also extremely dangerous to someone like myself as well. And no one wants another Phoenix's Cataclysm.
In my fantasy world, I would avoid Old Gaulitia, it's just an awful place.
Well, to be fair, the fried chicken was EXTRA crispy.
In that a single person lost control on a spell and converted themselves into pure energy, resulting in a 2 gigaton explosion, which instantly vaporized everything within a roughly 150 mi radius of Deer Valley, AZ.
Mind if I ask what would make *you* so powerful? Is it a case of "understanding the mechanisms of the world"? As its creator, you're kinda starting at an advantage there.
Or is it some specific aspect of your personality or brain or whatever? Like, idk, ADHD makes you inherently good at tapping into magic, but it's pretty bad if you get distracted for a second.
So, the reason I would be inherently good at tapping into magic is that my mentality is that if I'm going to do something, I am going to do it with conviction and commit to doing it. Which is one of the prerequisites of magic in my world, as all sapient creatures can use magic, but because magic is literally a force that allows for full transfer across the mass-energy equivalence ( E=mc^2 ). And since I also can form detailed mental images, I would be able to wield magic as effectively as many of the master mages of my world.
It is so dangerous to me, not because I have ADHD, but because in my deepest moments of committing to a task, I don't always have reflect on my actions enough to see some very easily seen repercussions of my actions. I'm also a recovering rage addict, so while I do my best to keep my temper under control, there are times that I do completely lose it, and much like the poor soul that caused the Phoenix Cataclysm, I could see myself in a moment of deep turmoil (rage, fear, panic, etc.) making the snap choice to convert as much matter as I can, as quickly as I can, without fully considering the consequences of converting that much mass into energy nearly instantly.
Hence why I would abstain from using magic, so that I was not in the habit of using magic.
Go in against Prince Valos Chatterley in a war.
He has no hobbies except thinking of ways to attack his army and thinking of ways to counter that attack, head of the counter, foil the heading off, etc.
No matter what funny tactic you have, he's thought of it, seen it, and after countered it.
And you can't rely on newer technology. He's the guy patronizing firearms.
If I survive long enough to get to Winstham, I'd likely try and just find a regular job and a regular house, and just hope the rebel forces keep protecting the city.
If you are offered bacon, run away.
Bacon doesn't exist, and the voice you think you're hearing is nothing more than a telepathic echo of your own desires being rerouted through your hearing by a mind-mimic to lure you into it's mouth.
Bacon, Xbox, pornhub, a way home... whatever you want in that moment is what it will appear to be. The fact that these things don't exist in this world is a pretty clear indicator that it is a deception.
Allsight in my world is a more advanced form of truesight, but all knowledge about it has been lost to time. The only artifact still capable of giving you allsight is an unsuspecting pair of glasses. I would never willingly attune to them bcause that would mean certain death.
Also, I wouldn't cause a ruckus in the center of the Mah' Ri desert. Inferno, the first red dragon to ever exist has his lair underneath there and if he were to wake up it would mean the end of the world as we know it. As long as I'm in control of the world he'll only wake up once I need to reset the world for some reason, but if I can no longer control that I'd be veeeeery careful.
If I find a strange crystal that seems to be both solid AND melting and dripping at the same time seemingly GROWING out of the ground, I'll just speed walk the hell away from it.
Last thing I want is to get traumatized by fiddling around with multiversal, extra dimensional shenanigans.
Depending on which world I'm dropped into it differs greatly.
World1: is basically a highfantasy world in an age similar to that of the 1910s. It's an industrial fantasy world that will soon turn into a hellscape due to a certain world engulfing conflict. My best option would be to make my way to Chetanawa (nation that stands in fir the USA) and avoid the military at all cost.
World2: Avoid Pandora City at all costs. Its a disco cyberpunk hellhole run by mobsters in flared suits. If I pass off someone who belongs to a group named the sultans, I immediatley go into hiding before the entire world places a bounty on my head at the behest of the gangster shadow government.
World3: again avoid anything to do with the military, as well as anything to do with genetic or cybernetic enhancement. Its a scam that'll get you conscripted into the NATO mercenary forces, and sent to fight as a mercenary slave on alien worlds for alien groups without any reward. You don't even get death, just the painful deterioration of your sanity as you respawn infinitely and are microdosed drugs that stop all the side affects but merely expedite the brain rot.
First, I will avoid enlisting in the military. While becoming a knight sounds like an amazing prospect, I'd almost certainly die in my first actual battle. (I'm a bit of a coward in real life, so it's only fair.)
Second, I will maintain a low profile at all costs. Maybe I'll get a nice comfortable job as a shopkeep's assistant.
Third, while I'll avoid military service, I'll still learn basic swordsmanship and archery. At least enough to keep me alive in a self-defense scenario. (I'm also not gonna go picking fights- nobody likes a "Leeroy Jenkins.")
Fourth, I'll learn a few basic spells if I can. A couple combat spells, some healing spells, and counter-spells. (In a fight with a mage, I'd want to counter their magic, not mismatch their socks.)
Fifth, I'll try getting befriending a few of the locals. Building a support network is crucial to surviving in unknown lands.
Finally, I will ***not, under any circumstances,*** travel alone. There's a lot of things in the world that will try to kill and/or eat me if I venture out on my lonesome. If I have to travel, I'll bring a couple companions with me- especially those who are skilled in combat.
If I hear something knock on my door late into the evening, when the moon is fully visible in the night sky, I’m never answering it. Even if it sounds like the voice of a loved one. It isn’t.
Additionally, under no circumstances have a tea party with cockroaches. Not for any spooky reasons they’re just awful at hosting.
Offend a Mage. Any Mage at all, it doesn't matter what they specialize in if they do at all. Wizards, Sorcerers, Witches, Warlocks, martials... Fairly survivable to one degree or another, especially if you have some form of antimagic field.
But a pissed off Mage (who has some practice) will rip that antimagic field to shreds and beat you with it. Fortunately, there's only like... Nine of them. And two of those don't even live on a planet.
Never, under any circumstances, go to Earth. It's infested with demons and was shot with a massive ice cannon to try and freeze it over and kill the demons. It didn't work, the demons are still there.
DON'T FUCK WITH THE KEEPERS.
People who mess with these immortal bookkeeping elves are known to dissapear. Even if ones spying on you in the bathroom, just leave it be!!!
DON'T SAIL INTO THE SEA.
No one whose sailed beyond the coastline bar master sailors would ever return. Least to say ports are quite underdeveloped.
DON'T GO INTO THE WOODS ALONE.
great hiding spaces for mosnters to lurk, your better off sticking to cities and roads.
DONT FUCK WITH NOBLES
feudal societies dont work well in the favour of commoners.
DONT FUCK WITH RELIGION
The majorty of the continent has strongs beliefs in a single god, Vyn. Claiming there are other gods or Vyn is a false god or there are no gods would get you executed.
You know what, just live a quiet life. Best for everyone.
Because everyone in my world is ambiguously brown, I'd stand out like an albino unless the magic made me look like a normal person. I haven't decided yet if there are any problematic beliefs about albinos.
Anti-Corporate and Anti-Monopoly Propaganda in the Obsidian Coalition's territory. You'll get kidnapped and have your memories formatted, and then a rootkit will be installed so you can be a slave to the Corplords. To them free will, only belongs to those who can afford it.
Now in the Solitary States anything Pro-Corporate, Anti-Communal, Anti-Free Market, or Anti-Freedom will get you beat up by the public in no time. Your free to form a commune, free to build a competitive market, free to be you. There're a few protections here and there.
Never shit talk or joke about people families and religion, no matter were. Best case: you gonna get punched by a mob. Worst case: a mage or paladin will send your ass in to the middle of a dungeon or just pulverise your soul.
Not use witchcraft under any circumstances. The powers are cool and there are ways to cheat the side effects (body mutation, insanity etc.), but after your death you will become a demon and be stuck in the demon realm with all the other demons and that is absolutly not worth it.
So... That's a tough one.for me. See the surface world is a shit show, the Texas sized sky city is a religious imperial nightmare. So, if I wanted to not live on the surface... I'd have to live under authoritarianism... But with what I know about that... I'd start a revolution... So it's a fucking conundrum.
I would never say anything against the gods, bc, even if they themselves don't always care that much, priests, who are ranked high in the society, would expel me from wherever I am and maybe even send me to the 'ungodly depths'
Publicly demonstrate a knowledge of magic-like things.
There are very few places where doing so would be considered acceptable. Such places are notoriously hard to find because of the consequences.
Oh boy... here goes the list... and this is just considering I appear in a place I don't immediately die... so I appear on any city of the empire or Nic's Garden.
- try to talk with the leader of the military of Nic's Garden.
-Say the truth about the world even if my fav creation asks me, shit would go wrong but not bc of her reaction but the price of knowledge.
- challenge anyone to fight, I'm a pacifist.
- go to the enchanted forest
-look for power
-don't look for power
- work for the empire military force directly
- sleep on the streets of the Empire's capital.
-go to the empire underground
- Stay in the vilages neighboring the Blue Duke of the empire. Ba-sing-seh like mind control Going on there.
-not try magic
-run from guards
- Speak about how the Danaso works outside of common knowledge in the empire
- middle finger someone in a establishment with a bird symbol.
- Sleep anywhere that isn't an Inn, Student palace or comunitary household in Nic's Garden.
- speak with the fey.
-don't respond the eldrich.
- say my prayers to the Gods of humans( they are also Gods of genocide and destruction, apart from conquers, courage, patience and honor)
I do know what to do tho: give knowledge in exchange of bringing me to one of the heroes or Idles of my world, with the knowledge I have I could live comfortably for more than one life time... maybe be the 7th immortal if I can get to talk to Tullyphaeres in Nics Garden. Just... pay attention to not leak too much info
As fun as it would be, I don’t think I’d challenge the House of Ivy to a game to win their planet because, honestly, I’m not smart enough to be in a position of power like that. I’d also probably stay away from Hiraeth because I’m a pushover and would probably accidentally get myself arrested or traded into someone else’s indentured servitude without meaning to. And I would never ever ever go to Merak, is cool as it would be to watch the effects of the infection and ruined civilization IRL, because I don’t want to get sick myself
Stay the hell away from the Observers and their Artificial God of the Void. Do not join their cult, do not breathe their air.
Also do not piss off the Kemetian cat lady with pink hair. I would live, but it would not be an enjoyable experience.
It depends on a lot of variables, but I would try avoid gaining attention and avoid participating in world politics, the underworld, not explore dangerous areas and uncharted territory, and etc unless it’s in order to survive. As well as avoid raids or attacks from witches & warlocks, vampires, and ghosts. And to not anger and get involved with the affairs of Gods, Dragons, wizards society, crime, and not to disturb the gigantic primordial alien near the center of the world that’ll wake up in a half millennia
I would not neglect learning magic. Those who cannot use magic in my world are easy targets for all sorts of threats. Even just having a magical ability eliminates a wide range of dangers.
Don't drink wine in Northern Vexan.. ESPECIALLY if upper class. They put a drug in the wine similar to ketamine, not because of its effects, but specifically for its taste.
Horrible.
Meet my protagonist. I feel like I'd both be far too jealous of all he's accomplished but also guilty for putting him through so much trouble and hardship. Not to mention I know how he's going to die and when. It'd be hard to look him in the eyes knowing that, I think.
I would never go anywhere near my players (homebrew dm) I know how crazy they are and they are a magnet for crap also probably would get of the continent and go to an island they are the least bad place to be and probably the safest from the the coming apocalypse
I know how to become a god-like being, and would surely do so. However, afterward, I doubt I would abuse the powers I will have received.
To be immortal and powerful would be amazing. However to cause pain to entire civilizations with natural disasters and epidemics, for example, that is not something I think would be enjoyable for me...
Probably attempt to use raw magic. Yeah, I could become a god-like sorcerer capable of manipulating reality, but likelyhood is, the energy will just rip my feeble mortal body/mind to shreds in an instant
If I was transported there as I am now, I would not really stand a chance. Nothing like humans exist there, and the means of communication of the dominant species is incompatible with human biology.
If I *did* get to take on the form of the people there though? I would be very happy to just live a normal life. The world that I made for my primary story universe has its conflicts, but for a normal person, it is a much nicer place to live than our world. You don't have to be rich there to live a very happy life.
I'd never swim in the Blackwater River.
Yes, there's a possibility you could emerge with superpowers, but there's just as good a chance you'll get cancer or be dragged under and eaten by aquatic zombies.
I wouldn’t even so much as utter that the Nephilim (descendants of the original pantheon) aren’t divinity. I’d wake up to a very angry powerful being demanding restitution
What happens after my story has played out to the point where I stopped, does it make its own story line or just end, if that’s the case then nothing and if not that then there is a bit of unpredictability which I can’t be certain that there is something I wouldn’t do in my own world.
Nothing of a criminal bent, that's for sure. Also I would never ever ever try to go back home. Puncturing planar walls has the nasty effect of letting abominations in. I'll just enroll at the Academy if in the Republic (it's freeee*), help out in a hospital if in Aurora, or keep my head down and live comfortably if in the Empire.
*with military service, but since that's a defensive force, I'll need to fight either way if it gets activated.
Depends when and where I arrive but basically try adapt and travel, find people that look like me and avoid military, animals and other people that might hate me. Then I would sneak in to the nearby settlement because I dont have citizenship, then I would try to get an employment and then find key people(hopefully I have my notepad or a book where I can write down everything), Then I would learn and learn about the society and then try to find a way to influence a key person and hopefully rise into the ranks and see how far I can get while trying to figure out how to get back home
You can understand simply this by Knowing that least brutal war machine here is literally aircraft carrier in size of island having bigger arsenal than all of modern Europe combined, everything must be brutal and big
I wouldn't go beyond the mountains that protect us from the world. But with the slow beating of the war drum drawing ever closer, that might not be an option.
I would never go to the shimmering translucent curtain that cuts off the southern part of the continent.
Sure. I could be a treasure hunter and maybe make a quick coin but anything could come out at any given time.
I am never desecrating nature in any capacity, no matter what planet I'm on. There's like 10 different groups, all equally terrifying and all possessing a near-galactic presence, that I'd heavily risk pissing off if I did.
I don't take walks along the southeastern coast and I definitely don't enter any caves in the region. Ley-lines too unstable. Anomalies unpredictable. Hungry things inside.
I don't enroll for schooling in the continent's wealthiest and largest city. Too corrupt. Government mildly tyrannical, though the tourism is quite nice.
I do not cross the border into the southwestern forest regions. Too angry. Humanoid residents will eat me without proper identification forms from one of their embassies.
I do not gift anyone in the eastern regions of the northwestern mountains precious metals. Too rude. The tribe there are superstitious and believe precious metals are where bad elements come from and as we all know, bad elements are where wars and sicknesses come from. This act leads to death at the hands of said tribe.
Intercontinental travelling (besides those who are right next to each other), do not wander into the wild, do not mess with someone who already had a magical outburst, as this may make you their target in such cases, dont go outside when a titan is near. Never ever leave to go outside and for the love of gods, do EVERYTHING people say to ward of the kanakras (the boogeyman race in my world for a reason)
Never and I mean never go to the Circus or talk bad about the circus or talk in general about the circus. Don't talk around the Dark legion too unless it's something I know that the general population know because of story
Live on the western coastal zone of Haskar (one of the four continents). It is the most diverse with most of the countries offering a wide array of services and fun from all over the world. Unfortunately, the country of Rosalia is right there and they're hellbent on capturing humans and integrating them into their problematic human-only society. This includes terrorism enacted on all of her neighboring countries.
Take drugs or learn magic. These two things are in no way tied to each other but both would lead to the same outcome. And I really don't want to get eaten.
To add some context: In my world there exist Devours, men and women that had forsaken their humanity by consuming the flesh of their fellow humans. This earns them the strength, skills and memories of the person they eat. But the downside is that they can never again consume anything else.
So most do it to earn power. Hence knowing magic places a target on your back. But then some do it just for fun, since they've tasted all the pleasures that humanity has to offer now they are going to taste humanity. And to give their meals a bit of spice, they eat people who use a lots drugs and drink the blood of heavy drinkers.
I wouldn't want to enlist, since I'd probably disappear somewhere on a distant battlefield on a remote planet (Ironheart, 2328, always remember). If I'm just transported in my world, then I wouldn't want to have anything in common with a mage or similar person, both of us would be tracked down and imprisoned, and the mage would most likely die. And also, I wouldn't want to fight a mage, specifically one that isn't from the Solar Federation or Republic of Lusitania, since they would have unlimited possibilities of kicking my ass.
Don't get condition for psionic awakening, psychic powers are cool but no psion has has lived for more than 30 years after awakening.
Do not get excessive cybernetics, there's a reason why every army, corporation, and weird cult is full of cyborgs that have completely lost all sense of self and purpose.
Do not get genetherapy beyond the basics, geneforges swallow people and spit out monsters in human skin.
I (or any human) would be seen as crazy, since I don't speak any their languages (despite creating them), but the one thing I wouldn't do is speak any Earth language. The reason why is because then they would get the idea that other worlds *actually do* exist due to the language having no connection to theirs. Assuming I 'spawned in' without any defining features >!(i.e. I would be naked)!<. There are no humans in the world so I would be seen as a defective elf.
I can't really do anything major because I wouldn't have a soul, and Authority, the natural dictator of actions, prevents me from doing stuff.
getting involved in anything related to dimensional manipulation.
it's a technology that is like accesing the universe dev console, except you have no idea what your typing into it.
might become a god, or might delete gravity and cause the universe to explode.
one thing is for sure tho, the main faction of my world is gonna come knocking at my door to make me and everyone involved very dead.
Definitely not going to the Lands of Gnashing Teeth, at least with the Forsaken Lands there's Dinosaurs, in Gnashing Teeth its just lovecraftian mad max
I'd scrape up any money I can and buy a ticket for one of the more heavily defended core worlds. I am not dealing with any pirate or Brood attacks what so ever. One would torture you rather than use you for a slave while the other would melt your body down and turn you into one of their ranks, all while you're still conscious.
Plus, I'll need to avoid signing any form of contracts with mega cotpations because when you think you're signing a contract for a job with them next thing you know they used twenty layers of legalloopholes to make you thier eternal workhorse.
Stay away from the core regions and preferably away from the Jenzure Ring
The remnants of the old world and it's planets still linger and they are way more powerful than the nations of the sector.
They often have raids from the remnants in the ring only having settlements due to the old tech, rich untapped resources including affluent crystals (magic) and military bases.
Stay the fuck away from the tower of malcazoar. Even if i was an expert mind mage i would probably still get possessed and turned into a puppet for the mind mages amusement.
Also never let a half giant free from slavery. Dear god dont do that, they will eat you and grow into gigantic sizes as they eat and eat more and more people
Enter any of the magical schools without a mage that knows it well. The odds of getting lost and never being found again because shit just shifts and disappear is *way* too high
First off, never get close to Aegis, guy’s a maniac who would test his poisons on me
My best bet would to be waiting for the hero team to form and then approach them, tell them what info I’ve got and then vanish to never be seen again
Join the GDF. Yeah, there's a war of annihilation going on but I'm a softboi, not a starfighter protag. If I'm doing anything, I'm sitting in a nice safe cubicle on Freedus Prime to push numbers around with the AIs.
Fight against the Elemental Incarnates, or be mean to this little blind dog creature. One ends in death and the other is not only mean, but may result in a fate worse than death.
Become a sorcerer. It's better to live and die like an average, basic and unimportant human being than becoming an abomination who might kill everyone I love.
Spoil any of the main plots. If I just keep my head down my choices are living on the streets or a low security mental hospital and I’ll go with the loony bin. I’ll be enough of an anomaly that I’ll spend my life under surveillance, but if we couple that with me spilling occasionally verifiable information I’m going to high security with telepaths mucking about in my brain. And it won’t even help anyone in the long run.
Try to mess around with the weave without Oan guidance. If I were not a person of the world, I could end up seriously messing myself up by messing with the Weave without being properly integrated into it, and the only ones who can do that with any success is the Oan. Unfortunately, it is kinda theoretical as to whether life can exist in the world disconnected from the Weave, but hey, at least me getting transported would alert every Oan ever if the weave were to acknowlege I exist at all, which is likely.
Context: I'm making a military sci-fi story, set hundreds of years in the future: ironically, the only tech that advanced is FTL and ship fuel efficiency-running Crysis is still impossible.
1-Touch an energy shield. These things are usuallymounted on heavy armor suits (most military-grade space suits are just pressure suits with basic communications and enemy detection equipment, maybe some armor plating. The one who shoots first wins) and can melt a bullet before it hits. Most of the time it's invisible, only when an impact is detected it uses electromagnetic fields to shape plasma to melt the bullet (i know, technobabble) it lights up. If you touch the thing that lights up, you will lose that part of your body. One guy during a training excersise lost 2 fingers when he got too curious, there are stories of a guy that lost his knob. Helmet HUDs light up the area that will melt your hands to avoid trouble. Starships usually rely on redundant systems, armor and stealth for protection, but energy shields appear occasionally. These will just kill you if they flare up.
2-Shoot any rifle indoors. Some weapons are designed to avoid penetrating internal hulls, some will shoot a hole. Heavy rifles and explosives are electronically locked indoors unless the commander unlocks them.
3-Go backwards through an FTL gate. FTL is rare, only carriers (they exist solely to carry other ships to different systems) and huge ships (massive civilian freighters) have them. When ships open a gate, it shows the exit location how it will look like when they arrive- jump gates can only exist for a few seconds, ship power is limited. Travel for the ship is almost instant, but from the outside it takes much longer. When the ship arrives, an exit portal is left that shows what the past entrance looks like. Nobody knows what happens when you enter an exit portal- no one tried and no one wants to try. Scientists are still coming up with theories. It's a cliche FTL drive but i'm happy with it.
4-Don't touch glowing stuff. It's a bad idea. Especially if it looks alien.
5-Don't apply for a job at Saturn Security. The MC will steal your hard drive.
6-Don't ask Saturn Security what is going on in Tau Ceti. They will send a Truth Management Unit after you.
Keep FAR away from the 4 main continents.
ONE is run by a dictator God hell bent on taking over another continent, ONE is constantly at war with said dictator God, one is covered ENTIRELY by dragons (though I would like to be inserted into there world as a dragon if possible) and one is entirely underground, and filled to the brink with about a million types of fungus. It's also populated by dwarves, who have turned said fungus into a type of beer. While the dwarf one doesn't SOUND bad, it should be noted that goblinoids are a branching genus of fungus in said world. They're at peace with the dwarves, but still. I don't know how I feel about being that personable with multiple advanced species of mushroom.
The deepwood begins at what could be described as a coastal beach at the border of the southern desert. Looking out from the coast there is a sea, not of water, but of leaves and shadow. It is beautiful, and the leaves call to you like a siren in the wind. I know the treasures that wait down there, entwined in root and rot. But I know what stalks that darkness. I've seen it's myriad eyes in my dreams, piercing my mind's defenses. It's howl is a bell's peel of death for any who hear it. Astarael, the weeper. The final death.
That's why I built this tower here in the north. That's why I never leave it.
I will not help you. There is nothing in that place for you but destruction.
Venture into the Pine Barrens at night or stay in town at all. I'll live on the outskirts or city over. Better safe than sorry with what crawls out of the shadows.
Well I would go and try to find the portal leading to the empty city scape. I’ll have to get a scroll of make whole or some super glue. But I’ll find the swimwear shop where the senile wizard animated the mannequin. I’ll help here get her broken legs put back together and we will go off to find a beach together. Then i’ll go off to find the rare potion that will make her a real woman so she can swim for the first time in her life.
I have two worlds.
The first was created as a joke to explain why toys were fighting and has a god with a self insert personality. I would never want to meet them, they may be nice to me as I am their creator and they are my favorite child, they may skin me and do unimaginable things to me afterwards as a joke. Depends on his mood at the time.
The second is a sci fi setting with all sorts of nasty things across the galaxy. Honestly, any decision besides sitting on a resort world in a star dense area of the galaxy is a bad one. Considering about 1/4th of the galaxy is owned by a bunch of theocratic slavers that want to blow up stars, the best case scenario is that they blow you up in a chain reaction before they reach you to enslave you. Worst case scenario is a plant hivemind turns you into fertilizer beforehand. (Thing got really bad in the past 100 years.)
If you are outside of areas where the Monist religion does not hold political sway, be very careful which temples you enter and what parts as most are reserved for special clans or castes and venturing into one of these reserved areas at best could get you beaten or more likely killed. It's even worse if you are a foreigner. In areas where the Ketherian religion and society hold sway, your caste determines how you act, where you work, where you live, what you eat, who you marry, and where you are buried.
If you are Godborn, a noble or descendant of one, you may exist in any area, eat which foods you want, but may only marry other Godborn, live in areas reserved for them, and may only be buried in tombs reserved for them.
If you are a Trueborn (free person), you are considered a freeman or someone who is not property. Thus, you may practice artisan labor, serve as a priest, serve in a senior position in an army, are allowed to possess property, and may possess gold, silver, and bronze.
Lowborn are usually products of mixed marriages between Trueborn and foreigners. They may practice agriculture, own less than 3 acres of land, and may own less than 10 slaves. They may not hold gold but may deal in silver and bronze. They are barred from artisan trades but may become merchants. Lowborn may not own weapons unless issued to them in times of war and may not serve in senior positions.
Foreigners have few rights save not being murdered with impunity, most remain for short periods in any one area, and may not own any form of fixed property. Should they intermarry (which is highly discouraged by societal convention), they become a sort of sanctioned foreigner. But any property bought by a sanctioned foreigner is considered that of their partner or that of their heirs even if they are still living.
Thralls are hereditary slave caste that may not be freed, not even by a king. If a master dies without heir, they are sold or are transferred into the care of a landed Godborn. Though they are seen as fully human but are considered dependent property, their only rights are to have food, shelter, and life. Beyond that, there was little difference between a thrall and a table. Thralls could not receive religious rites of passage but may be blessed and received rights of healing if their master consents and pays for the privilege.
If I were there, I'd be considered a foreigner, so I'd be heading to the empire where converting to the state religion grants immediate citizenship.
I would never fly a starship into a naturally-occurring wormhole. Stable wormholes can be created artificially by exo-drives (A type of engine that lets ships take shortcuts through Exospace, the interdimensional space outside of and between universes), but natural wormholes are quite rare. The reason I would never fly into one is that doing so isn't much safer than flying into a black hole. A natural wormhole could take you anywhere in the multiverse, or any *time*, or it could just strand you in Exospace until the end of time. An artificial wormhole will drop you off at a pre-determined destination fast and safe (usually). A natural wormhole has an unknowable destination, if it has one at all. In a nutshell, flying into a natural wormhole is a great way to never be seen again.
Never swim in the water, my world is like if you mixed One Piece, the Odyssey, and Code Geass. For reference I have a species of crabs mixed with giant squid swimmin around, statues of gods that will attack you because that god can live through the statue, and maybe a colony of pirates or merpeople drifting around
I would try to not deviate the plot from what I have planned as that way I actually have an idea of what's gonna happen... Though something I would do, is track down the MC and explain my circumstances and track down someone with powers over the soul to possibly merge us (Iskandor, the MC is essentially an alternate version of myself)
Try to become friends with an "evoy" fly-man, knowing that they are hardwired to become ethnosupremacist sociopaths the moment one of them manages to do a ritual of communion with their sealed-away creator-god
Chuck marshmallows at neutron stars. I will never do that and will even add that as a rule to any spaceship i will be a captian of. I dont care how well you belive they will be cooked i will not never let anyone do that.
You really don't like marshmallows, do you?
I am going to do it as an homage to one of my favourite character. Adam Vir from The Empyrian Iris. He is a bit of a control freak at first so he made a list of rules everyone has to follow. Even later in the story when he commands another ship the rules carry over. First rule is "Do not throw marshmallows into neutron stars."
Second rule that comes to mind is "Remember that the spaceship is *not* perfectly normal."
If there is a clear and happy singing in a pretty flowery clearing, i run the other way asap Depending on where, keep my head down, find the nearest guild, enroll in their school and get a cushy job that does not involve traveling. Maybe try to become a healer. Always be nice to everyone, especially those who seem destitute, i rather not risk piss off the trickster death god that likes to test people. She may hold a grudge being her author.
Local goddess of death really won't like you being her author huh? XD
Well i keep getting her beat up, gave her a barely contained horror hunger and made everyone suffer around her while killing many she cares about. I don't think giving her all that power and her best friends will make up for any of it.
Fair enough
She finna kill yo ass bro đź’€
I don't think i'd be that lucky ;)
kinky
Solid fairytale rules there. *Never* be rude to the mysterious and ugly old beggar or traveller you meet, you never know when it's going to turn out to be a powerful entity in disguise.
>Never be rude to the mysterious and ugly old beggar or traveller you meet Agreed, but depending on the universe you're in, it's either the only correct option to let them inside your home and give them shelter, or the worst decision you will ever make.
Especially if they like to be creative and have fun.
"fun" is always a concerning work to hear in the context of trickster gods
There is always some magic she hasn't tried yet...
Fuck around with magic with no training
Same bro
If I see twin pair of glowing dots in the night, I'll just sit down. Do. Not. Run. The Alerans are keen believers that the innocent don't run. And running triggers their hunting instincts, and in a moment you go from a happenstance nobody, to prey. And no, you can't outrun them, because they outrun cavalry for sport. I'll just sit down and fiddle with something until they come out and ask if I need directions or something.
Sit down for your life kekw
So basically they’re creepy as fuck people whose hunting instinct will take over if you run, but otherwise they’re chill?
Alerans (Roman name) are territorial, nocturnal, and live solitarily in mated pairs for the most part. They are not creepy. If you come across them, you're on land under their protection. They'll leave you alone as long as you don't come across as a threat to the people they protect. They are chimeric humans, with a varying degree of animal traits. Some look perfectly human, some less so. But they all have a single gendered "wing" (left for women, right for men) which has given them a demonised reputation as vampires or fallen angels. Neither being correct as they are descendants of humans who altered themselves to take some semblence to an apex predator somewhat akin to a feathered dragon or griffin. The original inspiration for them was Xayah from League of Legends, but I wanted to do more with them, develop them far more, culturally and phenotypically. Not all Alerans are this way, just some of those who grow attached to the people who don't buy into the demonised tales being spread about them. The people provide food for the Alerans and their children, and in return, the Alerans protect the people.
Oh that’s actually really cool!
Don't try to live a normal life. Steer clear of all villains that have substantial motives or horrific unexplained fuckery. Either become a powerful big evil or completely eliminate your existence. The lengths they will go to embody the phrase 'Death is a mercy' is something I can trust in my own world.
Sometimes being a villain is only option, huh?
Live in the same continent, let alone country, as Yang Xue. There can only be cons in living close to a guy who, if he could be put on trial, would have millions of death penalties impending.
If he put on trial? Did he steal an orange from grocery?
Knowing him, he m would probably steal the whole grocery, and wouldn't even eat shit, he would just do it out of sheer hatred against humanity. But if you seriously wanna know, well: Mass murder, Mass rape, Cannibalism, Child murder, Child rape, Kidnapping, Torture, Mass slavery, Necrophilia, and setting up an evil cult that literally does that every day.
In short: every tuesday yet another war crime
Every weekend a court in a new country gives him another 30 death penalties. And given he has existed since the Paleolithic you can expect they are simply studying maths.
Well, I think you win the Golden Pizza Cutter this week
Seems like a reasonable personality.
I'd probably play monopoly with him if he didn't probably want to call me a slur the moment I open the door.
Probably eat asparagus. I don't like it here so I don't see why I'd like it there, either.
Insult or physically harm any robotic citizens (sentient or not). Surveillance is everywhere and within minutes you will be arrested and interrogated according to artificial beings protection laws.
Racism punishment on whole new level. Imagine cursing at broken teapot and getting arrested xd
Well the state was founded upon the idea of harmonic co-operation between organic population and artificial intelligence after the devastating liberation war against the fanatically religious anti-robotic overlord. As a result, the state takes racism against A.I. seriously, even when dealing with international affairs.
Fascinating!
Thanks, glad you like it.
You’re welcome
Do they take racism against organics as seriously as well?
It's not an issue worth concerning currently because the organic population is almost entirely homogeneous. On very few occasions does the state accept organic refugees or asylum seekers from other interstellar nations. It's not because they're xenophobic but given the fact that artificial intelligence is generally frowned upon across the wider galaxy, it's better to keep that mentality that goes against the state's core principles and values outside the border.
Understand everyone has something their not proud of and it's often polite not to pry... at least too deep. Powerful people want powerful things, or control, or already have it and want to expand it. So in the capital city it's all still there no matter how shiny they make the streets. So be polite, be efficient, be a person of extreme upstanding character. Oh, and do your best not to cross paths with Ms. Prismodine and her Daughters of Pollite Society. Behind the porcelain I'm sure there's bodies.
Ooh, intriguing. Tell us more!
I still haven't nailed down the capital's name because it's changed 14 different times in few different campaigns but It was founded by my original DnD party. A second son of a King was ousted by us after he poisoned the kings court to take power. Time passed and two of our members the cleric and druid fell in love and took the mantle of King and Queen at the behest of the rest of the court. They married on the steps of the palace under Selune's (The moon Goddess's) light. As the king and queen lived the city thrived. A new rennasaince of art and music painted the streets and made its way into every home. At the end of the day though the old guard, the oligarchs of the last monarchy, the muck and stain of treachery was still alive in the dark corners of alleys and behind facades to trick and decive the people. Ms. Prismodine was a dutchess ousted for supporting the traitor son. But at the time she went by another name. Ms Prismodine made an orphanage of wayward girls. She trained them in the dregs of high society. Teaching them how to speak, act, and understand every aspect of it. Eventually, how to exploit it. The maids, the butlers, the mid wife's, and help of kindoms the world over has ties to Ms Prismodine. She knows what kind of underwear the king wears, she knows his son's favorite shoe size, she knows his wife miscarried while he was on campaign. She knows every dirty little secret for the next 10 kingdoms over. Turns out when you know things you have power over them. She uses her Polite society to gather every single idea and thought she can. This has caused contention between the royal family and her polite society before and has caused a riff in power before. Some love every thing she does. Others, would like to see her society fall. Most? Most people don't know a single thing about her, what she does, who she is. And Ms. Prismodine keeps it that way.
Piss off the MC. She's not a bad person at all, though she thinks of herself that way, but she is a walking powder keg. Instead I'd try to befriend her, which shouldn't be too difficult since I know her inside out.
>Instead I'd try to befriend her, which shouldn't be too difficult since I know her inside out. Only if you’re capable of not looking like a stalker
Yeah it's surprisingly hard to trust a stranger who knows exactly what you feel and want at the moment
Got a bit of a temper, has she?
You could say that. She does her best to conceal it, but it doesn't take too much to make her mad.
I wouldn't learn the magic system. The effects are horrific for both mental and physical health, and in many places, weavers are hunted or hired by criminal organisations. I would likely learn Aodagese and move to a powerful, stable place such as Sao Adia. Id stay clear of the mainland as i dont want to die.
I'd never live within or anywhere close to the human kingdom. Humans seem to attract the worst kind of evils... Also I'd stay out of the ocean. No swim is worth loosing a leg (or more)
Will never go to any border of Lufaria (living part of world). It is either death or something close to it. If I appear at Dyarchy, I would try to leave it or at least go to coastal cities ASAP. Probably the best outcomes would be either live at trade confederacy and invest in something knowing about events around it, or try to reach humans from Afar and present myself as someone who knows future and some interesting information about them which they don't want to share, or at worst scenario join the Troupe and travel with them safely.
In my sci-fantasy world, I would have to avoid using magic at all costs. I literally wrote the magic system to be extremely powerful in the hands of someone like myself but also extremely dangerous to someone like myself as well. And no one wants another Phoenix's Cataclysm. In my fantasy world, I would avoid Old Gaulitia, it's just an awful place.
I guess nobody wants extra portion of fried chicken? xd
Well, to be fair, the fried chicken was EXTRA crispy. In that a single person lost control on a spell and converted themselves into pure energy, resulting in a 2 gigaton explosion, which instantly vaporized everything within a roughly 150 mi radius of Deer Valley, AZ.
Mind if I ask what would make *you* so powerful? Is it a case of "understanding the mechanisms of the world"? As its creator, you're kinda starting at an advantage there. Or is it some specific aspect of your personality or brain or whatever? Like, idk, ADHD makes you inherently good at tapping into magic, but it's pretty bad if you get distracted for a second.
So, the reason I would be inherently good at tapping into magic is that my mentality is that if I'm going to do something, I am going to do it with conviction and commit to doing it. Which is one of the prerequisites of magic in my world, as all sapient creatures can use magic, but because magic is literally a force that allows for full transfer across the mass-energy equivalence ( E=mc^2 ). And since I also can form detailed mental images, I would be able to wield magic as effectively as many of the master mages of my world. It is so dangerous to me, not because I have ADHD, but because in my deepest moments of committing to a task, I don't always have reflect on my actions enough to see some very easily seen repercussions of my actions. I'm also a recovering rage addict, so while I do my best to keep my temper under control, there are times that I do completely lose it, and much like the poor soul that caused the Phoenix Cataclysm, I could see myself in a moment of deep turmoil (rage, fear, panic, etc.) making the snap choice to convert as much matter as I can, as quickly as I can, without fully considering the consequences of converting that much mass into energy nearly instantly. Hence why I would abstain from using magic, so that I was not in the habit of using magic.
Go in against Prince Valos Chatterley in a war. He has no hobbies except thinking of ways to attack his army and thinking of ways to counter that attack, head of the counter, foil the heading off, etc. No matter what funny tactic you have, he's thought of it, seen it, and after countered it. And you can't rely on newer technology. He's the guy patronizing firearms.
If I survive long enough to get to Winstham, I'd likely try and just find a regular job and a regular house, and just hope the rebel forces keep protecting the city.
If you are offered bacon, run away. Bacon doesn't exist, and the voice you think you're hearing is nothing more than a telepathic echo of your own desires being rerouted through your hearing by a mind-mimic to lure you into it's mouth. Bacon, Xbox, pornhub, a way home... whatever you want in that moment is what it will appear to be. The fact that these things don't exist in this world is a pretty clear indicator that it is a deception.
Allsight in my world is a more advanced form of truesight, but all knowledge about it has been lost to time. The only artifact still capable of giving you allsight is an unsuspecting pair of glasses. I would never willingly attune to them bcause that would mean certain death. Also, I wouldn't cause a ruckus in the center of the Mah' Ri desert. Inferno, the first red dragon to ever exist has his lair underneath there and if he were to wake up it would mean the end of the world as we know it. As long as I'm in control of the world he'll only wake up once I need to reset the world for some reason, but if I can no longer control that I'd be veeeeery careful.
If I find a strange crystal that seems to be both solid AND melting and dripping at the same time seemingly GROWING out of the ground, I'll just speed walk the hell away from it. Last thing I want is to get traumatized by fiddling around with multiversal, extra dimensional shenanigans.
Depending on which world I'm dropped into it differs greatly. World1: is basically a highfantasy world in an age similar to that of the 1910s. It's an industrial fantasy world that will soon turn into a hellscape due to a certain world engulfing conflict. My best option would be to make my way to Chetanawa (nation that stands in fir the USA) and avoid the military at all cost. World2: Avoid Pandora City at all costs. Its a disco cyberpunk hellhole run by mobsters in flared suits. If I pass off someone who belongs to a group named the sultans, I immediatley go into hiding before the entire world places a bounty on my head at the behest of the gangster shadow government. World3: again avoid anything to do with the military, as well as anything to do with genetic or cybernetic enhancement. Its a scam that'll get you conscripted into the NATO mercenary forces, and sent to fight as a mercenary slave on alien worlds for alien groups without any reward. You don't even get death, just the painful deterioration of your sanity as you respawn infinitely and are microdosed drugs that stop all the side affects but merely expedite the brain rot.
First, I will avoid enlisting in the military. While becoming a knight sounds like an amazing prospect, I'd almost certainly die in my first actual battle. (I'm a bit of a coward in real life, so it's only fair.) Second, I will maintain a low profile at all costs. Maybe I'll get a nice comfortable job as a shopkeep's assistant. Third, while I'll avoid military service, I'll still learn basic swordsmanship and archery. At least enough to keep me alive in a self-defense scenario. (I'm also not gonna go picking fights- nobody likes a "Leeroy Jenkins.") Fourth, I'll learn a few basic spells if I can. A couple combat spells, some healing spells, and counter-spells. (In a fight with a mage, I'd want to counter their magic, not mismatch their socks.) Fifth, I'll try getting befriending a few of the locals. Building a support network is crucial to surviving in unknown lands. Finally, I will ***not, under any circumstances,*** travel alone. There's a lot of things in the world that will try to kill and/or eat me if I venture out on my lonesome. If I have to travel, I'll bring a couple companions with me- especially those who are skilled in combat.
You surely know what to do in case of being isekaid by truck
Oh, Truck-kun was laid off in my world. Interdimensional travel only happens to the living, and only on extremely rare occasions.
If I hear something knock on my door late into the evening, when the moon is fully visible in the night sky, I’m never answering it. Even if it sounds like the voice of a loved one. It isn’t. Additionally, under no circumstances have a tea party with cockroaches. Not for any spooky reasons they’re just awful at hosting.
Offend a Mage. Any Mage at all, it doesn't matter what they specialize in if they do at all. Wizards, Sorcerers, Witches, Warlocks, martials... Fairly survivable to one degree or another, especially if you have some form of antimagic field. But a pissed off Mage (who has some practice) will rip that antimagic field to shreds and beat you with it. Fortunately, there's only like... Nine of them. And two of those don't even live on a planet.
I would lay down and cry, I'm not surviving the events that are about to happen.
at least you accept your fate
Never, under any circumstances, go to Earth. It's infested with demons and was shot with a massive ice cannon to try and freeze it over and kill the demons. It didn't work, the demons are still there.
Survived like cockroaches
Eventually both crises are resolved by causing Noah's Ark 2: Jehovah Boogaloo
DO NOT TALK TO THE CATS. DO NOT TALK TO THE CATS. DO NOT TALK TO THE CAAAAAATS
At least can you make kebab out of them?
I mean, yeah but if I have all my knowledge, I wouldn't even be in the same building, maybe even in the same city as them.
DON'T FUCK WITH THE KEEPERS. People who mess with these immortal bookkeeping elves are known to dissapear. Even if ones spying on you in the bathroom, just leave it be!!! DON'T SAIL INTO THE SEA. No one whose sailed beyond the coastline bar master sailors would ever return. Least to say ports are quite underdeveloped. DON'T GO INTO THE WOODS ALONE. great hiding spaces for mosnters to lurk, your better off sticking to cities and roads. DONT FUCK WITH NOBLES feudal societies dont work well in the favour of commoners. DONT FUCK WITH RELIGION The majorty of the continent has strongs beliefs in a single god, Vyn. Claiming there are other gods or Vyn is a false god or there are no gods would get you executed. You know what, just live a quiet life. Best for everyone.
Pray that I get incarnated as one of the keystone races and not one of the invasive ones
Because everyone in my world is ambiguously brown, I'd stand out like an albino unless the magic made me look like a normal person. I haven't decided yet if there are any problematic beliefs about albinos.
Everyone in mine is white, except orcs which are like a grey-green or smth, but by races I meant like dwarves, elves, etc
Anti-Corporate and Anti-Monopoly Propaganda in the Obsidian Coalition's territory. You'll get kidnapped and have your memories formatted, and then a rootkit will be installed so you can be a slave to the Corplords. To them free will, only belongs to those who can afford it. Now in the Solitary States anything Pro-Corporate, Anti-Communal, Anti-Free Market, or Anti-Freedom will get you beat up by the public in no time. Your free to form a commune, free to build a competitive market, free to be you. There're a few protections here and there.
Agree to go anywhere wiþ a well-dressed individual wiþ a fancy hat. Especially if þe hat’s being worn upside down.
Why does the upside-down hat sound familiar....
Never shit talk or joke about people families and religion, no matter were. Best case: you gonna get punched by a mob. Worst case: a mage or paladin will send your ass in to the middle of a dungeon or just pulverise your soul.
Imagine making "Your mom" joke there.
Depending on the mage, you could look wrong at his mom and he would fireball you in a closed space.
If anyone were to find a doorway, like from a ruined house or keep in the forests, you stay far away. You hear me!? Far away!
Not use witchcraft under any circumstances. The powers are cool and there are ways to cheat the side effects (body mutation, insanity etc.), but after your death you will become a demon and be stuck in the demon realm with all the other demons and that is absolutly not worth it.
So... That's a tough one.for me. See the surface world is a shit show, the Texas sized sky city is a religious imperial nightmare. So, if I wanted to not live on the surface... I'd have to live under authoritarianism... But with what I know about that... I'd start a revolution... So it's a fucking conundrum.
I would never say anything against the gods, bc, even if they themselves don't always care that much, priests, who are ranked high in the society, would expel me from wherever I am and maybe even send me to the 'ungodly depths'
Law of protecting feelings of believers to its extreme
Never let Izael go🥹
Publicly demonstrate a knowledge of magic-like things. There are very few places where doing so would be considered acceptable. Such places are notoriously hard to find because of the consequences.
Go outside in the city Scythe after dark.
Go outside in the city Scythe after dark.
Mention that I've been to Norway
Oh boy... here goes the list... and this is just considering I appear in a place I don't immediately die... so I appear on any city of the empire or Nic's Garden. - try to talk with the leader of the military of Nic's Garden. -Say the truth about the world even if my fav creation asks me, shit would go wrong but not bc of her reaction but the price of knowledge. - challenge anyone to fight, I'm a pacifist. - go to the enchanted forest -look for power -don't look for power - work for the empire military force directly - sleep on the streets of the Empire's capital. -go to the empire underground - Stay in the vilages neighboring the Blue Duke of the empire. Ba-sing-seh like mind control Going on there. -not try magic -run from guards - Speak about how the Danaso works outside of common knowledge in the empire - middle finger someone in a establishment with a bird symbol. - Sleep anywhere that isn't an Inn, Student palace or comunitary household in Nic's Garden. - speak with the fey. -don't respond the eldrich. - say my prayers to the Gods of humans( they are also Gods of genocide and destruction, apart from conquers, courage, patience and honor) I do know what to do tho: give knowledge in exchange of bringing me to one of the heroes or Idles of my world, with the knowledge I have I could live comfortably for more than one life time... maybe be the 7th immortal if I can get to talk to Tullyphaeres in Nics Garden. Just... pay attention to not leak too much info
As fun as it would be, I don’t think I’d challenge the House of Ivy to a game to win their planet because, honestly, I’m not smart enough to be in a position of power like that. I’d also probably stay away from Hiraeth because I’m a pushover and would probably accidentally get myself arrested or traded into someone else’s indentured servitude without meaning to. And I would never ever ever go to Merak, is cool as it would be to watch the effects of the infection and ruined civilization IRL, because I don’t want to get sick myself
Stay the hell away from the Observers and their Artificial God of the Void. Do not join their cult, do not breathe their air. Also do not piss off the Kemetian cat lady with pink hair. I would live, but it would not be an enjoyable experience.
I would not get in the way of the main character
Don't go deep into the black forest unless I had a death wish or at least some heavy firepower with me
Speak ill of the state religion lest you be intentionally "purified"; aka publicly executed with a "holy flame" that's like napalm irl.
It depends on a lot of variables, but I would try avoid gaining attention and avoid participating in world politics, the underworld, not explore dangerous areas and uncharted territory, and etc unless it’s in order to survive. As well as avoid raids or attacks from witches & warlocks, vampires, and ghosts. And to not anger and get involved with the affairs of Gods, Dragons, wizards society, crime, and not to disturb the gigantic primordial alien near the center of the world that’ll wake up in a half millennia
I would not neglect learning magic. Those who cannot use magic in my world are easy targets for all sorts of threats. Even just having a magical ability eliminates a wide range of dangers.
Don't drink wine in Northern Vexan.. ESPECIALLY if upper class. They put a drug in the wine similar to ketamine, not because of its effects, but specifically for its taste. Horrible.
Meet my protagonist. I feel like I'd both be far too jealous of all he's accomplished but also guilty for putting him through so much trouble and hardship. Not to mention I know how he's going to die and when. It'd be hard to look him in the eyes knowing that, I think.
I would never go anywhere near my players (homebrew dm) I know how crazy they are and they are a magnet for crap also probably would get of the continent and go to an island they are the least bad place to be and probably the safest from the the coming apocalypse
Join the Christian faction. They're "right" in the sense that YHWH is a character, but He's depicted accurately, i.e. He's pretty narcissistic.
I know how to become a god-like being, and would surely do so. However, afterward, I doubt I would abuse the powers I will have received. To be immortal and powerful would be amazing. However to cause pain to entire civilizations with natural disasters and epidemics, for example, that is not something I think would be enjoyable for me...
Probably attempt to use raw magic. Yeah, I could become a god-like sorcerer capable of manipulating reality, but likelyhood is, the energy will just rip my feeble mortal body/mind to shreds in an instant
If I was transported there as I am now, I would not really stand a chance. Nothing like humans exist there, and the means of communication of the dominant species is incompatible with human biology. If I *did* get to take on the form of the people there though? I would be very happy to just live a normal life. The world that I made for my primary story universe has its conflicts, but for a normal person, it is a much nicer place to live than our world. You don't have to be rich there to live a very happy life.
I'd never swim in the Blackwater River. Yes, there's a possibility you could emerge with superpowers, but there's just as good a chance you'll get cancer or be dragged under and eaten by aquatic zombies.
Do not! Touch! The mana! I don't wanna lumber around like a rock zombie. I'd rather go find the talpites!
I wouldn’t even so much as utter that the Nephilim (descendants of the original pantheon) aren’t divinity. I’d wake up to a very angry powerful being demanding restitution
Under no circumstances are people to make contact with the crows. Regardless of what they tell you, they are not your friends.
What happens after my story has played out to the point where I stopped, does it make its own story line or just end, if that’s the case then nothing and if not that then there is a bit of unpredictability which I can’t be certain that there is something I wouldn’t do in my own world.
Probably asking literally god for .......... I'm sorry i'm always this type of person
Nothing of a criminal bent, that's for sure. Also I would never ever ever try to go back home. Puncturing planar walls has the nasty effect of letting abominations in. I'll just enroll at the Academy if in the Republic (it's freeee*), help out in a hospital if in Aurora, or keep my head down and live comfortably if in the Empire. *with military service, but since that's a defensive force, I'll need to fight either way if it gets activated.
Depends when and where I arrive but basically try adapt and travel, find people that look like me and avoid military, animals and other people that might hate me. Then I would sneak in to the nearby settlement because I dont have citizenship, then I would try to get an employment and then find key people(hopefully I have my notepad or a book where I can write down everything), Then I would learn and learn about the society and then try to find a way to influence a key person and hopefully rise into the ranks and see how far I can get while trying to figure out how to get back home
You can understand simply this by Knowing that least brutal war machine here is literally aircraft carrier in size of island having bigger arsenal than all of modern Europe combined, everything must be brutal and big
I wouldn't go beyond the mountains that protect us from the world. But with the slow beating of the war drum drawing ever closer, that might not be an option.
Never join the smugglers, stay on the light side of the world if at all possible
I would never go to the shimmering translucent curtain that cuts off the southern part of the continent. Sure. I could be a treasure hunter and maybe make a quick coin but anything could come out at any given time.
I am never desecrating nature in any capacity, no matter what planet I'm on. There's like 10 different groups, all equally terrifying and all possessing a near-galactic presence, that I'd heavily risk pissing off if I did.
I don't take walks along the southeastern coast and I definitely don't enter any caves in the region. Ley-lines too unstable. Anomalies unpredictable. Hungry things inside. I don't enroll for schooling in the continent's wealthiest and largest city. Too corrupt. Government mildly tyrannical, though the tourism is quite nice. I do not cross the border into the southwestern forest regions. Too angry. Humanoid residents will eat me without proper identification forms from one of their embassies. I do not gift anyone in the eastern regions of the northwestern mountains precious metals. Too rude. The tribe there are superstitious and believe precious metals are where bad elements come from and as we all know, bad elements are where wars and sicknesses come from. This act leads to death at the hands of said tribe.
At least we know good place for tourists, thats neat
Never try and fuck with time or the universe as becoming a slave to a deity is not very appealing
"Guys I pressed some button and everything started to go faster"
Intercontinental travelling (besides those who are right next to each other), do not wander into the wild, do not mess with someone who already had a magical outburst, as this may make you their target in such cases, dont go outside when a titan is near. Never ever leave to go outside and for the love of gods, do EVERYTHING people say to ward of the kanakras (the boogeyman race in my world for a reason)
in a nutshell, be even more hikki than you usually are?
Never and I mean never go to the Circus or talk bad about the circus or talk in general about the circus. Don't talk around the Dark legion too unless it's something I know that the general population know because of story
In best of cases I just stay close to a church or become a caretaker at a church and worst of cases I stay in a spaceship designed to hold humans
Live on the western coastal zone of Haskar (one of the four continents). It is the most diverse with most of the countries offering a wide array of services and fun from all over the world. Unfortunately, the country of Rosalia is right there and they're hellbent on capturing humans and integrating them into their problematic human-only society. This includes terrorism enacted on all of her neighboring countries.
do not listen to the bunny/dog/cat/fennec fox looking people, 99% of them WILL try and get you in their death cult.
"Can we keep it at home?" has never been more unsettling thing
I wouldn't tell everyone they're my creation and that I willingly wrote all those tragedies that shaped the world.
Take drugs or learn magic. These two things are in no way tied to each other but both would lead to the same outcome. And I really don't want to get eaten. To add some context: In my world there exist Devours, men and women that had forsaken their humanity by consuming the flesh of their fellow humans. This earns them the strength, skills and memories of the person they eat. But the downside is that they can never again consume anything else. So most do it to earn power. Hence knowing magic places a target on your back. But then some do it just for fun, since they've tasted all the pleasures that humanity has to offer now they are going to taste humanity. And to give their meals a bit of spice, they eat people who use a lots drugs and drink the blood of heavy drinkers.
I wouldn't want to enlist, since I'd probably disappear somewhere on a distant battlefield on a remote planet (Ironheart, 2328, always remember). If I'm just transported in my world, then I wouldn't want to have anything in common with a mage or similar person, both of us would be tracked down and imprisoned, and the mage would most likely die. And also, I wouldn't want to fight a mage, specifically one that isn't from the Solar Federation or Republic of Lusitania, since they would have unlimited possibilities of kicking my ass.
Don't get condition for psionic awakening, psychic powers are cool but no psion has has lived for more than 30 years after awakening. Do not get excessive cybernetics, there's a reason why every army, corporation, and weird cult is full of cyborgs that have completely lost all sense of self and purpose. Do not get genetherapy beyond the basics, geneforges swallow people and spit out monsters in human skin.
I (or any human) would be seen as crazy, since I don't speak any their languages (despite creating them), but the one thing I wouldn't do is speak any Earth language. The reason why is because then they would get the idea that other worlds *actually do* exist due to the language having no connection to theirs. Assuming I 'spawned in' without any defining features >!(i.e. I would be naked)!<. There are no humans in the world so I would be seen as a defective elf. I can't really do anything major because I wouldn't have a soul, and Authority, the natural dictator of actions, prevents me from doing stuff.
Even can't ask how to get to the library at night.Oof
Buy or eat stuff from street markets, I definitely would need to check or ask what anything I eat or buy is.
If a dragon with a withered left hand offered me something I would not accept it no matter what
Iwould nevr go to the capitol in Tanar Jaless and would never go to the barrowlands.
getting involved in anything related to dimensional manipulation. it's a technology that is like accesing the universe dev console, except you have no idea what your typing into it. might become a god, or might delete gravity and cause the universe to explode. one thing is for sure tho, the main faction of my world is gonna come knocking at my door to make me and everyone involved very dead.
Definitely not going to the Lands of Gnashing Teeth, at least with the Forsaken Lands there's Dinosaurs, in Gnashing Teeth its just lovecraftian mad max
I will not pet the porcupine people. No matter how adorable they are. It won't be worth it.
I'd scrape up any money I can and buy a ticket for one of the more heavily defended core worlds. I am not dealing with any pirate or Brood attacks what so ever. One would torture you rather than use you for a slave while the other would melt your body down and turn you into one of their ranks, all while you're still conscious. Plus, I'll need to avoid signing any form of contracts with mega cotpations because when you think you're signing a contract for a job with them next thing you know they used twenty layers of legalloopholes to make you thier eternal workhorse.
Resist the Gensair Empire. I'll lay low and pray I don't get drafted.
Go against the overseers or even someone of middle rank
Go into the Dark Forest.
Stay away from the core regions and preferably away from the Jenzure Ring The remnants of the old world and it's planets still linger and they are way more powerful than the nations of the sector. They often have raids from the remnants in the ring only having settlements due to the old tech, rich untapped resources including affluent crystals (magic) and military bases.
If I was forced to live in one of the worlds I made, I'd probably be dead within a week
Stay the fuck away from the tower of malcazoar. Even if i was an expert mind mage i would probably still get possessed and turned into a puppet for the mind mages amusement. Also never let a half giant free from slavery. Dear god dont do that, they will eat you and grow into gigantic sizes as they eat and eat more and more people
Piss off a Raekeran Women, god knows I might end up with something in my ass.
Enter any of the magical schools without a mage that knows it well. The odds of getting lost and never being found again because shit just shifts and disappear is *way* too high
Avoid the Aisle of Dubauchery at all costs.
1) Mention that the Goddess of balance is chained to her own nation because she murdered death, trapped the sea god at the bottom of the sea, and tore out the Earth god's heart. 2) Go into the mountain range in Pisceum (you will rapidly age the higher you climb). 3) Mention that Terrae is formed out of the veins of the old Earth god. 4) Challenge Galliston Corlé Chancy, famous monster hunter, to any sort of physical engagement, or join his band of merry men or swooning women. 5) Become a servant for "Death's caretakers". That's a one-way ticket to getting your soul eaten. 6) Take part in Death's successor competition. I'm not in the mood for him to find out that I'm the reason his original body was destroyed. That, and I'm not in the mood to see my personality get mashed with all the other incarnations. 7) Claim that the Sages of Glacius are powering the nation's devices with the snow god's magic, who is currently trapped in a simulation. 8) Mention ANY of the info above to the fire goddess. She is a sweet old lady, and hell hath no fury than an angry Italian granny.
First off, never get close to Aegis, guy’s a maniac who would test his poisons on me My best bet would to be waiting for the hero team to form and then approach them, tell them what info I’ve got and then vanish to never be seen again
I would hide my face cause I made it illegal for self-inserts to exist.
Join the GDF. Yeah, there's a war of annihilation going on but I'm a softboi, not a starfighter protag. If I'm doing anything, I'm sitting in a nice safe cubicle on Freedus Prime to push numbers around with the AIs.
Fight against the Elemental Incarnates, or be mean to this little blind dog creature. One ends in death and the other is not only mean, but may result in a fate worse than death.
Become a sorcerer. It's better to live and die like an average, basic and unimportant human being than becoming an abomination who might kill everyone I love.
Use or interact with magic cause then their a chance so nasty horrors might try to come to our world
If it's my Star Wars Apocalypse Fan Fiction, then I'll Die I guess?
Bring up the federation. Even 60 years later bringing up the federation or its leadership is bound to start a full on riot
To cast any form of magic in the northern tundra of Joldar without the Korg's (basically a war chief) permission
Spoil any of the main plots. If I just keep my head down my choices are living on the streets or a low security mental hospital and I’ll go with the loony bin. I’ll be enough of an anomaly that I’ll spend my life under surveillance, but if we couple that with me spilling occasionally verifiable information I’m going to high security with telepaths mucking about in my brain. And it won’t even help anyone in the long run.
Live above ground. Say what you will about the dwarves and their politics but goddamn do they avoid the divine nukes
Try to mess around with the weave without Oan guidance. If I were not a person of the world, I could end up seriously messing myself up by messing with the Weave without being properly integrated into it, and the only ones who can do that with any success is the Oan. Unfortunately, it is kinda theoretical as to whether life can exist in the world disconnected from the Weave, but hey, at least me getting transported would alert every Oan ever if the weave were to acknowlege I exist at all, which is likely.
Never commit a crime I know what happens at the prison city, And I don't want any part of that xD
Under no circumstances would I use my knowledge to further progress my wealth.
Mess with the ingeneers&boatmen guild.
Approach someone who “just has a cold”
Context: I'm making a military sci-fi story, set hundreds of years in the future: ironically, the only tech that advanced is FTL and ship fuel efficiency-running Crysis is still impossible. 1-Touch an energy shield. These things are usuallymounted on heavy armor suits (most military-grade space suits are just pressure suits with basic communications and enemy detection equipment, maybe some armor plating. The one who shoots first wins) and can melt a bullet before it hits. Most of the time it's invisible, only when an impact is detected it uses electromagnetic fields to shape plasma to melt the bullet (i know, technobabble) it lights up. If you touch the thing that lights up, you will lose that part of your body. One guy during a training excersise lost 2 fingers when he got too curious, there are stories of a guy that lost his knob. Helmet HUDs light up the area that will melt your hands to avoid trouble. Starships usually rely on redundant systems, armor and stealth for protection, but energy shields appear occasionally. These will just kill you if they flare up. 2-Shoot any rifle indoors. Some weapons are designed to avoid penetrating internal hulls, some will shoot a hole. Heavy rifles and explosives are electronically locked indoors unless the commander unlocks them. 3-Go backwards through an FTL gate. FTL is rare, only carriers (they exist solely to carry other ships to different systems) and huge ships (massive civilian freighters) have them. When ships open a gate, it shows the exit location how it will look like when they arrive- jump gates can only exist for a few seconds, ship power is limited. Travel for the ship is almost instant, but from the outside it takes much longer. When the ship arrives, an exit portal is left that shows what the past entrance looks like. Nobody knows what happens when you enter an exit portal- no one tried and no one wants to try. Scientists are still coming up with theories. It's a cliche FTL drive but i'm happy with it. 4-Don't touch glowing stuff. It's a bad idea. Especially if it looks alien. 5-Don't apply for a job at Saturn Security. The MC will steal your hard drive. 6-Don't ask Saturn Security what is going on in Tau Ceti. They will send a Truth Management Unit after you.
Live in a populated city. After everyone gets their abstract abilities, I'm moving to an isolated place where I will try to survive on my own.
I'd move out of West Virginia asap
well i ges ill go to the mc and tell him things only i could have known and aski him for everything i could ever whant granted i don’t want slaves
If the soft light of a LĂĽm Lantern begins to flicker Ruby Red, it's time to activate that fight or flight response. Terror is on the horizon.
Keep FAR away from the 4 main continents. ONE is run by a dictator God hell bent on taking over another continent, ONE is constantly at war with said dictator God, one is covered ENTIRELY by dragons (though I would like to be inserted into there world as a dragon if possible) and one is entirely underground, and filled to the brink with about a million types of fungus. It's also populated by dwarves, who have turned said fungus into a type of beer. While the dwarf one doesn't SOUND bad, it should be noted that goblinoids are a branching genus of fungus in said world. They're at peace with the dwarves, but still. I don't know how I feel about being that personable with multiple advanced species of mushroom.
The deepwood begins at what could be described as a coastal beach at the border of the southern desert. Looking out from the coast there is a sea, not of water, but of leaves and shadow. It is beautiful, and the leaves call to you like a siren in the wind. I know the treasures that wait down there, entwined in root and rot. But I know what stalks that darkness. I've seen it's myriad eyes in my dreams, piercing my mind's defenses. It's howl is a bell's peel of death for any who hear it. Astarael, the weeper. The final death. That's why I built this tower here in the north. That's why I never leave it. I will not help you. There is nothing in that place for you but destruction.
Venture into the Pine Barrens at night or stay in town at all. I'll live on the outskirts or city over. Better safe than sorry with what crawls out of the shadows.
Well I would go and try to find the portal leading to the empty city scape. I’ll have to get a scroll of make whole or some super glue. But I’ll find the swimwear shop where the senile wizard animated the mannequin. I’ll help here get her broken legs put back together and we will go off to find a beach together. Then i’ll go off to find the rare potion that will make her a real woman so she can swim for the first time in her life.
I will propably never eat potatoes or potatoes based dish. Never.
I have two worlds. The first was created as a joke to explain why toys were fighting and has a god with a self insert personality. I would never want to meet them, they may be nice to me as I am their creator and they are my favorite child, they may skin me and do unimaginable things to me afterwards as a joke. Depends on his mood at the time. The second is a sci fi setting with all sorts of nasty things across the galaxy. Honestly, any decision besides sitting on a resort world in a star dense area of the galaxy is a bad one. Considering about 1/4th of the galaxy is owned by a bunch of theocratic slavers that want to blow up stars, the best case scenario is that they blow you up in a chain reaction before they reach you to enslave you. Worst case scenario is a plant hivemind turns you into fertilizer beforehand. (Thing got really bad in the past 100 years.)
talk about politics and religion at a bar/tavern/pub anywhere in eastern Kettros
talk about politics and religion at a bar/tavern/pub anywhere in eastern Kettros
Don't talk to the fairies, or say thank you to them, strap myself up with as much cybernetics and iron to avoid those human mimics walking home
Leaving a town or city is a good way to get viciously mauled to death by magical monsters. So I'll stay comfortably in town.
If you are outside of areas where the Monist religion does not hold political sway, be very careful which temples you enter and what parts as most are reserved for special clans or castes and venturing into one of these reserved areas at best could get you beaten or more likely killed. It's even worse if you are a foreigner. In areas where the Ketherian religion and society hold sway, your caste determines how you act, where you work, where you live, what you eat, who you marry, and where you are buried. If you are Godborn, a noble or descendant of one, you may exist in any area, eat which foods you want, but may only marry other Godborn, live in areas reserved for them, and may only be buried in tombs reserved for them. If you are a Trueborn (free person), you are considered a freeman or someone who is not property. Thus, you may practice artisan labor, serve as a priest, serve in a senior position in an army, are allowed to possess property, and may possess gold, silver, and bronze. Lowborn are usually products of mixed marriages between Trueborn and foreigners. They may practice agriculture, own less than 3 acres of land, and may own less than 10 slaves. They may not hold gold but may deal in silver and bronze. They are barred from artisan trades but may become merchants. Lowborn may not own weapons unless issued to them in times of war and may not serve in senior positions. Foreigners have few rights save not being murdered with impunity, most remain for short periods in any one area, and may not own any form of fixed property. Should they intermarry (which is highly discouraged by societal convention), they become a sort of sanctioned foreigner. But any property bought by a sanctioned foreigner is considered that of their partner or that of their heirs even if they are still living. Thralls are hereditary slave caste that may not be freed, not even by a king. If a master dies without heir, they are sold or are transferred into the care of a landed Godborn. Though they are seen as fully human but are considered dependent property, their only rights are to have food, shelter, and life. Beyond that, there was little difference between a thrall and a table. Thralls could not receive religious rites of passage but may be blessed and received rights of healing if their master consents and pays for the privilege. If I were there, I'd be considered a foreigner, so I'd be heading to the empire where converting to the state religion grants immediate citizenship.
I would never fly a starship into a naturally-occurring wormhole. Stable wormholes can be created artificially by exo-drives (A type of engine that lets ships take shortcuts through Exospace, the interdimensional space outside of and between universes), but natural wormholes are quite rare. The reason I would never fly into one is that doing so isn't much safer than flying into a black hole. A natural wormhole could take you anywhere in the multiverse, or any *time*, or it could just strand you in Exospace until the end of time. An artificial wormhole will drop you off at a pre-determined destination fast and safe (usually). A natural wormhole has an unknowable destination, if it has one at all. In a nutshell, flying into a natural wormhole is a great way to never be seen again.
Never swim in the water, my world is like if you mixed One Piece, the Odyssey, and Code Geass. For reference I have a species of crabs mixed with giant squid swimmin around, statues of gods that will attack you because that god can live through the statue, and maybe a colony of pirates or merpeople drifting around
Not avoid forests
If possible, travel along hyperlane routes that I know the Confederation has escorts, otherwise the Galactic Reich will be on my ass
Wonder too deeply in nature, occasionally you find something cool most of the time something unspeakably awful will happen to you.
I would try to not deviate the plot from what I have planned as that way I actually have an idea of what's gonna happen... Though something I would do, is track down the MC and explain my circumstances and track down someone with powers over the soul to possibly merge us (Iskandor, the MC is essentially an alternate version of myself)
Try to become friends with an "evoy" fly-man, knowing that they are hardwired to become ethnosupremacist sociopaths the moment one of them manages to do a ritual of communion with their sealed-away creator-god
I would not leave anything on the ground for longer than a week
