Name: Resonant Choice / Quantum Nexus of Infinite Probabilistic Multiversal Aeonic Continuum Convergence Algorithm for Absolute Chrono-Singular Fate Determination / space house
Type: Meta-Existential Level / Choice Manipulation / Reality-Altering
Description:
Resonant Choice allows Ryan to select possibilities in the world, events, or outcomes, making the chosen paths real while the unchosen paths vanish.
Manifestation / Expression:
The world transforms into Ryan's old home, but everything feels alien and unreal.
The sky is distorted, floating as if in deep space, with a black hole looming close by.
Ryan expects to be sucked in, but he can breathe normally, as if physics no longer restricts him.
The feeling is a combination of ordinary reality + impossible physics + multiverse overlay.
Visuals:
On a desk sits Ryan's old computer.
A sticky note reads: "Don't forget to submit your work via email."
When Ryan opens it, he sees a job application email template.
Strange instructions appear alongside the form:
"Please answer the questions carefully. Select 2 out of 3 options to define reality."
The form functions as the interface for all Resonant Choices, keeping it familiar and absurdly bureaucratic at the same time.
The job application motif remains consistent throughout all cycles, making even cosmic-level choices feel like filling out HR paperwork.
Range:
Affects everything within Ryan's influence, from local objects to multiversal scale depending on choice.
Duration:
Instant to permanent. Choices are applied immediately but may ripple indefinitely across the world and multiverse.
Cooldown:
Every 7 days since Ryan arrived in Veythralis.
One choice per cycle.
Permanent and irreversible results.
Usage Requirements:
Must select 2 out of 3 options.
Extreme choices may require physical and mental exhaustion, representing the strain of bending reality.
If Ryan does not choose:
He remains in a home-like safe zone with food and supplies automatically replenished.
Items he consumes disappear and reappear automatically in the fridge or storage.
Time does not flow normally; Ryan does not feel hunger or age.
His physical appearance stays the same as when he first arrived in the other world.
Strengths:
Precise control over events and reality within chosen parameters.
Compatible with Safe From powers (e.g., Safe from Wounds, Safe from War).
Can manipulate perception, memory, and even the structure of the universe itself.
Weaknesses:
Permanent consequences: unchosen paths are lost forever.
Extreme mental strain from ethical/moral decisions.
Limited against Tier 8-level enemies.
Unpredictable multiverse effects.
Cannot undo previous choices.
Notable Relations:
Fits Ryan's INTJ personality and obsession with controlling outcomes.
Tied to his human desire to master all possibilities.
Connects with story themes: choice, consequence, creation, morality, and absurdity of bureaucracy in a cosmic scale.
Example Use:
Ryan wakes up after 7 days. On his computer sits a job application form, with 3 options:
Safe from War
Safe from Legendary Beasts
Safe from Wounds
He selects Safe from Legendary Beasts and Safe from Wounds, leaving "Safe from War" unchosen.
Result:
Legendary beasts cannot harm him, and he heals from serious injuries.
The unchosen option "Safe from War" disappears: conflict continues, and Jonas must die to protect Ryan.
If Ryan does not choose:
He remains in the safe home zone with automatically replenished food and supplies.
Time does not pass; no hunger, no aging, and his appearance stays the same.
No main story progress occurs until he eventually chooses.
