20 To Live, To Learn, To Hate Sand (Limitless Complete)

Watching the seconds wind down is almost cathartic in a way. It's like living in a reality show where you're given a different environment every ten episodes and are told to have fun.

Even in this moment in the last 10 seconds of my time here, I am always practicing. Currently, I'm trying to keep the fire and ice as well as wind circling around me in addition to a decent amount of metals and rocks.

Coming here was definitely a boon, to say the least. It helped me see things in so many different ways, from my past to even my future. The power of having access to additional parts of your mind, or if not additional parts, more efficient parts of the brain.

My telekinesis has improved by leaps and bounds, as I found. I can now not only manipulate the elements but also electricity, and I can stand at the bottom of the deepest lakes without having to worry about getting crushed or drowning.

The world itself has remained mostly unchanged as since this jump began in 2011 it's only 2016 now. Nothing world-changing has happened as I've been keeping in constant watch of world events.

The ability to hack in a modern world truly is a superpower in and of itself. In seconds, I can have virtually any information I want while it looks like I'm only tapping away at random keys like a cartoon character.

Still, I would be remiss if I did not admit that after 30 years of no basic human contact other than just being around people, it has begun to weigh on me. By no means am I genuinely lonely, and it may just be a passing emotion, but for now, it may just be something to keep an eye on.

As I fiddle with my Rubiks cube repeatedly, taking it apart and then fixing it only to solve it and do the process over again has been quite an enjoyable activity. Even after ten years, I get to truly understand how the Rubiks cube can be different each and every time I put it back together.

It may have to do with the inherent reality manipulation that all jump chain items have, or maybe it is some type of Schrodinger paradox where the items are permanently fixed because they were never broken.

Honestly, trying to understand the innate mechanics behind the jump chain has become one of my focuses. The ability to create items that can never truly be broken would be an amazing thing to understand and have.

But I feel as if I am going on a bit of a tangent now. I find that I'm doing that quite a lot. These days, where my mind is just so enhanced that it just tends to go in so many different directions. It is as if my mind is in an infinite game of multiple different tugs of war.

One part of it is thinking of my favorite music. The other part is thinking of that one book that I read a couple of days ago, while another is trying to create a formula to create a peak human with only one injection, kind of like a super soldier from Marvel. Sadly, there is no access to that vita radiation , and as such, other methods would be necessary.

So many streams of thought, but so little time. Suppose I could only be in so many places at once. Possible self-cloning should be a goal in the future. I had to consider going to the world of Naruto for those shadow clones, but then I would have to contend with punching ninjas that can move at the speed of light.

This doesn't make any sense because if any of those ninjas got punched at the said speed of light, that punch would carry infinite mass and thus would splatter anyone, but I'm trying to contribute real-life physics to anime physics.

That, or I could go to the world of the X-Men and gain the abilities of the multiple man, but then I would have to worry about them, gaining sentience similar to the shadow clones. And if I were going to get any power as my X-Gene, I would most likely either want to get adaptive evolution or telepathy to round out the psionic combo.

On that last second, I found that all of the objects I had brought with me simply disappeared as my surroundings shifted, and I found myself back in the warehouse. The same jump terminal at the same jump time.

It was like clockwork, in a way, which I did appreciate as consistency is king. My next jump had already been chosen, which I do appreciate as it seems like the cosmic warehouse plays off of my subconscious choices, which could be good or bad.

Because if the warehouse operated itself based on my subconscious thought, it would honestly depend on my mental state and which jump world it chose next.

Even I fear what world could appear on my next jump if it is based on the machinations of my mind.

But with that terrifying thought aside, I focused my attention on the next jump, but firstly, I needed to focus on adding a supplement to the jump document. And while it is a bit embarrassing, I believe it would bring me many benefits in the future.

So, I loaded up an additional jump supplement referred to as generic sleepy cuddles. It is mainly supposed to be used as a supplement to a vacation jump, but after 30 years of consistent nightmares, I want to get a good night's sleep.

So, I loaded it up and chose my perks. Unlike the other jump documents, each and every perk on this specific supplement was all 100 points each, and there were no discounts and only five free perks.

Ironically enough, in addition to getting a good night's sleep, the sleepy cuddles jump also helps out with defending yourself from dream demons, as well as being able to share various perks and abilities through cuddling. My more logical side is quite literally trying to do backflips, trying to keep myself from cringing.

Sharing is Caring: You might come across someone who could really benefit from a lot more than a hug or platonic snuggling. You're able to loan out any perks, powers, or skills you possess to anyone you cuddle and call them back at any time. If you are further intimate with them, you'll be able to give out copies of your abilities instead. (Free)

My more logistical side is working to explain to myself that in addition to being able to defend myself from dream-based attacks, it also helps with general hygiene as well as comfort when sleeping.

On the plus side, it does allow me to give the best hugs. In addition to said hugs, they quite literally act as energizers as well as healing in some cases.

Healing Within Your Arms(-100CP): Your hugs and snuggles can heal people. Illnesses, aches and pains, and cancer just seem to disappear overnight like a miracle, and snuggling with someone for a night can cure even severe touch starvation. Cling to them close enough, and you can help them mentally recover from things like depression, trauma, even deep-seated brainwashing, and other things that rewrite personality.

Everything other than that is just set dressing at this point; I had everything I needed in order to get a good night's sleep from now on. It feels a bit cheap to do it like this, but I like my insurance.

But I would have to say the penultimate cherry on top is the fact that thanks to this job, I will now gain $100,000 a month in addition to always having a very comfy house as well as a bed and blanket to sleep on.

So, unless I lock myself out of all of my jump items through the use of a drawback, I will always have a lovely house and very nice income waiting for me.

And it synergizes with my bank account since the money will be directly deposited into that account. I won't need to be worried about getting investigated by the SEC or any other relevant organizations.

Now that I have been assured that I won't need to worry about not getting enough sleep, I return my attention to the Aladdin jump document. I wasn't too worried about this world as once I got rid of a Jafar and that bird of his, and I wouldn't have to fear anything.

That, and in addition to the drawback, where, after the story ends for this movie, the jump will be over, I won't need to worry about staying ten years in an arid desert.

While the prospect of wooing Jasmine is appealing, there is no reason to do so now. That and with my limited time frame due to the drawbacks, I won't be able to convince her.

But I will be taking compensation in the form of a genie lamp, as well as the ability to access magic.

Sorcerous: You can do magic! It's not anything particularly great, but you can enthrall and bewitch people, cast divinations to locate and spy on people and locations, brew potions, and several other things.

You have an extensive knowledge of dark magic of all kinds, including mighty and wonderful spells. While your power is a bit on the low end, you know how to use all the magic you know with incredible finesse, achieving precise, perfect results instead of ridiculous excess.

In addition to that perk, I would also be able to access a library that would constantly update with each and every world I go to in terms of magical lore, at least. But to get this library, as well as the genie lamp, I need to take a decent amount of drawbacks, which would be very annoying to deal with for ten years.

For example, I would have palace guards chasing after me, which would multiply if I ever actually killed them, in addition to being forced to say each and every innermost secret I have after someone gives me a basic compliment. And because I took the Vizer origin, I would most likely be put into a similar political position, and not being able to lie in politics is a death sentence.

While I would most likely be able to evade capture, I just didn't want to deal with that.

So, to all my men of culture out there, I must commit a cardinal sin and ignore waifu for the sake of efficiency. Indeed, the sacrifices I make are immense.

My despair aside, I also use my 20CP for my warehouse to buy a gravity manipulation element for my warehouse, which would help in the long run if I had to move hefty things into the warehouse.

But since it only cost 10 out of the 20 points I had, I'm going to save them for the next one as I'm going to need to get that expansion for my warehouse as I am actually starting to run out of space. Since it costs 30 points by the end of this jump, I will have enough to double the space in my cosmic warehouse.

After confirming everything, I did a once over for all of my choices, and after an extensive amount of time, I clicked confirm and found myself amongst the endless dunes of sand before a giant cave, and staring at me was a wizened older man and a red macaw.

He narrowed his eyes at me, and in that moment, all possibility of words disappeared. And I prepared to end the man in front of me.

+400 CP - Vital Component: Jafar, the Grand Vizier of Agrabah and Dark Sorcerer, has determined your nature successfully. Now he's after you. He will use everything at his disposal to hunt you down, sacrifice you for your powers, and desperately gather more energy to help him in this task. If you are caught and remain under his control for more than a year at any point in your stay, your status as a Jumper passes to him, with your chain over.

( I see a lot of you guys recommending a Rick and Morty jump but I just don't see it happening as I'm not very well-versed in the universe and I know a lot of you guys are a fan of it so I don't wanna mess it up for you guys.)
