In the chaotic multiverse, lost stories abound as events occur across infinite timelines and possibilities. The realm is infinite, with infinite variabilities, making it a fascinating and intriguing concept to explore. Share your ideas in the comments without hesitation, and I will consider turning them into either snippets or short stories. Expect one every couple of days.
Essence of the Playboy Genius
By drinking this Essence, you will receive a number of boons.
You are incredibly, impossibly intelligent.
Casual comprehension and manipulation of arbitrarily large, complex and strange numbers, figures and concepts is trivial to you.
You are capable of comprehending any subject matter or material in an instant and you will never forget anything unless you choose to do so.
You are in a constant state of inspiration and will always have ideas about how to improve things, even beyond the limits of possibility. This can be things from manufacturing lines to electronics and biology or even the laws of physics themselves.
Extremely charismatic on the level of whipping up strangers into a frenzy with a few choice words and easily gaining die hard loyal supporters with little effort.
You benefit from relaxed or even completely altered physics where sex is concerned. Improbable insertions, cervical orgasms, erogenous zones where there were none before, ludicrous cum, selective fertility/virility, non-existent STDs, etc. Whatever you want and can justify to yourself will fall under here.
You won't ever get bored of sex or burn yourself out from too much of a good thing.
You are incredibly attractive and your body is an almost horrifying instrument of sexual prowess. You have delicious, stimulating and almost addictive fluids, a pleasant and arousing scent, a voice that will make your paramours weak in the knees and more.
Your talents in the bedroom are outright supernatural, as is your stamina and endurance. You could ruin your partners forever, though you will always feel satisfied when you decide to stop, and can reduce a frigid ice queen to a drooling mess with just your body. Actually applying your incredible skill will see far greater results.
Additionally, the tremendous power of your mind allows you to actually warp reality. In the beginning this will manifest as simple unrefined telekinesis, but will improve with time and usage until you can manipulate matter, energy and fundamental forces by will alone.
The range of this ability will never grow beyond a hundred meters, but your fine control, power and finesse can improve without limit, with similar limitless applications.
You have the ability to control whether your designs are easily reproducible or completely blackboxed, or anything in between. You can also make it so that some can understand and study your tech while others cannot. You can both give and take away the ability to understand your tech should you want to, and this can be done anytime.
None of your technology can be successfully corrupted or subverted by another force unless you build or modify it to possess such a weakness.
Essence of The Eternal (original by Wanderer)
This Essence looks like your favorite beverage and tastes truly delicious.
You are eternal and invincible on a metaphysical level. You exist beyond space, time, causality and are immune to harm from all sources, even those of a metaphysical, abstract or conceptual nature. You cannot be killed, nor can you die or be destroyed, by any means at all.
You possess eternal agency, being impossible to bind, entrap or ensnare. Your will and sense of self cannot be altered or manipulated. Your will cannot be compromised by any kind of direct or indirect manipulation, restraint, influence, temptation or irrationality of any kind. Even should all of existence be compromised, you will continue to exist in spite of this. If you choose, you may choose to become unaware of yourself and the passage of time until existence resumes once more.
As an eternal being, you have absolute freedom from all Authorities and Wills, your self is absolutely inviolate. You are the only version of yourself that exists or ever will exist. You are completely immune to all esoteric effects such as time paradoxes, reality manipulation or revision, existence erasure or similar things.
You suffer no negative side effects as a result of your eternal life. Things like boredom, apathy, depression and mental instability caused by immortality will not affect you. Should you choose so, you may pass on from this life to an afterlife of your choosing and you may return back to life at any time you choose. You may choose to be reincarnated into a life tailored to your preferences. The specifics of this life are up to you.
You are eternally in your prime. You do not age, your body and mind are in perfect condition and your memory is limitless and records everything perfectly. You will never have any issues remembering or recalling information.
Any of your powers, skills, and abilities can never be drained, reduced, copied, cloned, or otherwise limited in any form or fashion unless you will it so.
This Essence cannot be altered, manipulated, copied or replicated, nor can it be removed, negated, nullified or erased by any force. Even those who possess limitless reality warping power or true omnipotence cannot disrupt this Essence.
Any Essences or powers you acquire that are similar to this Essence seamlessly combine with this one.
Essence of the Blank
By taking this essence, you gain but one benefit:
Your potential becomes limitless. You can learn any discipline or skill set, even if you aren't capable of it, without forgetting it and practicing it into mastery, no matter how much you learn. Any abilities you have from other Essences will increase where possible and develop in ways beyond their initial purposes.
Essence of the Ability Copier
By drinking of this Essence, you've gained the power to steal abilities from others!
You can steal and use abilities from anyone, no matter how unique or metaphysically tied to those people the powers are.
You will never suffer any ill effects from using these powers, either. Or, more accurately, lasting ill effects. You can use the Mangekyo Sharingan without fear of going blind, but it'll still hurt like hell, and tire you out rather quickly.
You can "forget" abilities if you so wish, causing you to no longer be able to use them. If you want to use those abilities again, you'll have to hunt down the original user.
The original user of the ability retains full use and skill with their ability.
The exact mechanics of this are left up to the user. It can be anything from requiring a touch to just needing to look at the target.
You gain a sizable store of any energy that these abilities require, and it regenerates over time.
(This essence plays right into essence of the blank as it will allow him to use other abilities in this universe. And he can only copy the powers of a couple of people a year.)
(Feel free to recommend one more essence to be used, but try not to make it too overpowered.)
