Chapter 17 - Chaos ensues (1)

Why do I get the odd feeling, that many of those bugs were caused by me?. Well regardless, I have to focus on the important information. If I survive, the server restart against all odds, I have to be aware of the religious nutjobs, trying their hardest to kill monsters and please the church.

And here I thought that it would be easy as pie after my metamorphosis finally finishes. But that's life, no point wasting my time lamenting about it. Otherwise, I might as well get a shovel and dig my own grave now. Though that would prove quite difficult to accomplish because I am not able to move a single muscle even now.

So the possible sources of my demise are Monsters, Players, Waterfalls. The good news is, that most likely I will not meet too many Players on one spot, because they don't want to share their hard earned points. Furthermore, even though they have hinted at my general location, they referred to this cave as a place for children and these creatures here are not worth any points at all. This is all based on the assumption, that the cocoon I am currently inside of was not built somewhere else.

Apparently, the system can't even recognize what I am in the first place. At the beginning I was just a player due to the influence of the Observer, now they refer to me as a named NPC. A mixture out of my former soul and a body that is just pure data. How does that even work out in the first place?

Ah fuck it, I should focus on the important stuff first, before answering those kinds of questions. The only preparations I can take at the moment are either based on a lot of uncertainties and all possible scenarios depend on too many circumstances. So in order to maximize my chances of survival, I have to exploit my connection to the that Holy-Tube.

Even though I can't create my own video and spread rumours that way, I still can influence the others be exploiting the newfound public image of "Call me Daddy", most people are not used to the impersonation that I was used to in my old world. So I will act like an insider and drop several hints about good ways to get some points. I still can exploit the craze about the Fanclub surrounding myself.

So my goals are

1) Survive at all cost, by minimizing the risk of encountering stuff that can kill me in my current form

2) Find a path that enables my survival without fighting and getting tortured by religious nutjobs every day.

3) Have other plans, if everything fails and I know my current luck.

4) Find a way to get stronger

5) Get to know, why I am here in the first place.

6) Dictate my own Fate

So let us start the operation, I creatively tilted "Chaos ensues", at first I clicked on the newest video, of Call Me Daddy tilted "The search for Boytoy continues", yeah I don't like my new nickname one bit. In his videos, he checked on fan theories what happened to me after they left me as bait. The most popular one was that I just despawned because I was just some sort of advertisement. But the developers denied that rumour. So let them rile themselves up, I posted several comments stating many plausible options.

The rumors I spread were the following. The crazy bitch took me back because she wants to make me her personal plaything because in her eyes others are not worthy enough to hurt me.

I was hidden somewhere dangerous to motivate people to start exploring the dangerous world.

I sunk at the ocean floor, to prevent players from wasting too much time on just a small part of the world. Killing me would also, give a great boost of points because I am a special NPC.

This should be enough to ensure a craze for my own person while spewing distrust between them. Adding to it, they will likely spread out even further in order to find me now. If they take the bait, my current spot will be one of the safest.

So now that they have a goal, I will spice things a bit up. By clicking on the video with the patch notes, I will tell some big insider information "just for the special beta testers".

" Dear Hunters, representing the Church, I have to clarify something regarding the training. This game is endorsed by us, to train our power given by the Gods and to hone our skills for the future. Therefore we do not want you to rely on others to get strong. No, we want you, to prove yourselves worthy of spreading gods name. Only the strongest and most faithful will be allowed to have this honor.

In order to prove your worthiness and superiority, we enabled the option to steal points by killing each other. In order to become a Chosen Child of God, you must learn that there are no friends if you act in Gods Name.

We wish you a good hunt.

This should be enough to at least induce some confusion. Most likely they will not be dumb enough, to just believe what a random person will write under a video, but at least I can try.

Even if the future is looking bleak, I still have to uphold a tradition that is very dear to me. Going back to my "Call Me daddy2" persona, I have to give my special attention, to a poor little lamb. He seems to be missing my affection. So I will just cheer him up and motivate him a tiny bit.

" You don't even have to try, I will prove that only I am worthy of carrying the Daddy name. You are nothing more than a mere copycat. So don't even try to search for that Boytoy, even he would kick your ass. Those bonus points are mine. I challenge everyone there is, but still, you will not beat me. Try your best, fail like the rest.

Sincerely your future Number 1
