I came back to my senses and found myself in a farm field. It looked like a soybean field. It looked like? Why did it look like? I should know this automatically. I pulled up my Personal Interface and checked my information

Soul Abilities

Note: Soul Abilities are Always Active

Soul Abilities

“Perfect Memory” - Like Photographic Memory except for all five senses with an automatic recall of desired information.

“Pansophical” – Skills that are known to you or known by you are performed as if you have achieved the level category of “Rare” as defined in whatever Reality, Cosmos, Universe, or Dimension you find yourself in.

“Temporally Inviolate” – As a manifest soul shard, your soul is still sacrosanct. Your soul shard cannot be destroyed. Any action taken to affect you through time manipulation has no effect on your soul, though it may affect the material manifestation that your shard resides in. When the timeline of your current local stabilizes your soul will remain at its current local, from which you can reform and continue along in the timeline you are in. If your physical body is destroyed you may choose to return to your Prime Soul, The soul the shard was created from. This process is almost instantaneous. You are not subject to Grand Father Paradoxes or harmful magic that utilized the manipulation of time. NOTE: As a manifested copy of your original self, your soul cannot be shredded or locked in a temporal bubble to prevent it from returning to your Prime Soul. Your soul shard may return to your Prime Soul at any time.

“Chaos Forged” - Your soul had been inundated with Chaos and forged your soul to withstand all forms of chaos. During this process, your will has held your core identity together and permanently changed your soul. You may enter and exit any environment flooded with Chaos 100% resistant to any further changes. As a manifested soul shard you may not change or modify abilities as your Prime Soul can, though, modifications to abilities and additions may still occur. When your soul shard is reintegrated into your Prime Soul any changes may be absorbed or discarded as the Prime Soul desires

“Chaos Tempered – In addition to being Chaos Forged your Soul Space has been tempered and quenched by Primal Chaos. Your Soul has been scoured clean of artificial limitations imposed by The System. This grants no additional access to the various interfaces that are available below the System level but does erase any requirements for Soul Progression based on Cosmic Occurrence. Continued exposure to Primal Chaos may produce additional soul Abilities. NOTE: Manifestations are limited to the rules and laws of the Cosmos entered. Once entered being Chaos Tempered allows your soul shard to bypass any restrictions.

“Adaptable” - Chaos has modified your body so that you may adapt to any environment. From Absolute Zero to the Gravity well of a Singularity your body can and will adapt to all environmental conditions. This includes the ability to survive in those environments. Example: the ability to breathe underwater if necessary. This Adaptability is limited to your soul only. Projections or duplicates that you control also gain this adaptability.

“Willed-Movement” - As a being of Chaos, you have the ability to move through Chaos as you desire at any rate you desire. As Chaos is present in all aspects of reality, your will allows you to move as you desire. This is a sub-ability of the Fundamental Ability “Adaptable” and is available to all projections and copies.

“Incessant”- Should your physical body be destroyed your soul remains and will reform your body immediately. This is a by-product of your chaotic and nanitic composition as well as a benefit of your Karmic Luck. You are immortal. Note Manifestations cannot reform if every nanite is destroyed or self-destructs. At that time the soul shard returns to its Prime Soul

“Resistant” No Change - You are 50% resistant to all Primal Magic and natural manifestations of those magics. Additionally, you are 100% resistant to all magic from the following spheres of power; "Chaos, Time, Space, and Gravity, and 50% resistant to Holy and Demonic Magic

“Open to new Ideas”- The changes to your body have severed any clerical link to the divine you had. Reality is vast, there might come a time in the future when aligning yourself to the divine or joining their ranks and becoming subservient to one or more may be required. The limitation of never serving a divine has been removed.

“Convergence” - The very nature of your Soul draws Chaotic Energy and converts it as you desire. In any Reality, you have access to and can utilize any magical energy normally. Additionally, your Mana Regeneration is increased by Willpower + Endurance per minute. You have chosen to Manifest into the Cosmos you are now in. Manifesting into a Cosmos leaves your Soul behind and only brings a shard of your soul. You have your mind and memories but are limited by the level you chose to manifest as and your body’s natural limitation. You may find yourself less powerful than you are normally accustomed to. While in the Cosmos as a Manifestation you cannot contact your Prime Soul. Upon your Manifestations death, your soul shard will return to your Prime Soul. This is instantaneous and all memories, experience, and karmic luck are gained unless the fragment is destroyed. (NOTE: The Soul Ability Chaos Tempered allows you to Cross Over or Manifest into any Cosmos which would normally not allow this type of entry. You may still not be Born in a Cosmos that does not allow reincarnation for souls above the basic level.)

“Spellweaver” - You neither memorize nor permanently add spells using spell slots. Instead, you may weave magic into any form of your desire so long as you have the skill and mana to do so. NOTE: You are still limited by normal mana costs to cast spells.

“Soul Storage” – If this ability is available, as a manifestation you have access to a limited soul storage. This storage area is not accessible by your Prime Soul. Unlike your normal Soul Storage, there is a size constraint to this storage area. The area is equal in size to your Endurance x Willpower x Level. Items placed into or taken out of the space appear or disappear to the hand touching them. This space can be represented by slots if you prefer. Manifestations may be created with soul storage but upon the manifestation’s destruction, all items in the manifestation’s soul storage are deposited into the chaos realm of that Cosmos.

“Affluent” - As needed you may produce or create any type of physical money in any reality you visit. In realities where you have integrated yourself into the global markets, digital currency is always available to you.

“Allegiance” – You are now a power in the Inter-multi-universal arena. As such other beings can submit to your will. Allegiance is shown by paying a tithe of 10% of your Karmic Luck after each Cosmic Occurrence. Karmic Luck is Hard locked after each Occurrence. If an Allegiance is declared the tithe only counts for that specific Cosmic Occurrence. Previously earned Karmic luck is not counted.

Allegiance allows those that have dedicated themselves to you to request assistance or boons from you. Also, Allegiance allows those that have allied with you to choose abilities known or possessed by you or any others that have joined your pantheon.

“Prophet” - Converted from the True Prophet ability to the Soul Ability: Prophet – The mysteries of life and death are not mysteries to you. You know there is something after death and something even beyond that. You will always be able to remember your previous life and speak of it to others. Death is no longer something to be feared but a doorway you may walk through knowing that you will be able to make your way back

Oh? Was the only thought that crossed my mind as I read my personal information. My super intelligent, almost omniscient self hadn’t bothered to think about the fact that starting at level 1 meant that my stats would be a lot lower than normal. Also, my luck score and Karmic Luck being so low might make things a bit harder for me, or this manifestation of me. He, I, hadn’t thought that through. Then again, my last memory was activating the command to create a shit ton of manifestations. My memories ended there. On the bright side, I still had a perfect memory. The only problem that I could see right now is that my mental prowess was reduced. I might be able to augment that with the nanites that were part of me but I’d made a conscious decision not to spread my influence out this time around and only catalog each Cosmos.

The next thing I did was check to see if I was earning experience because of my soul ability Convergence. That was a big no. This cosmos had magic though because I could access my interface. I tried to pull up a map function which failed. Next, I visualized a spell that would create a holographic map that I could view to give me an idea of where I was and a prompt popped up.

Which range would you like to cast the spell Map at; 1 mile for 10 mana, 2 miles for 20 mana, 3 miles for 40 mana, or 4 miles for 80 mana? (Note: Mana is insufficient to cast Map spell at any greater range at this time.)

I decided on 4 miles and a holographic map appeared in front of me that I could zoom in and zoom out of. With my mana regeneration at 4 per second, my mana would be full again in 20 seconds. I reviewed the map zoomed in and then out and realized I was standing in a field southwest of a city to my northwest. There was a road off to my west and another road that went east/west south of me. In my perfect memory, I had every single road placement and city placement on the face of planet Earth and a few alien ones as well. As I tried to figure out if I was on an Earth similar to my original Earth I noted that it still took my mind a few more seconds to sift through everything that I was used to. The city layout and road placements all looked right to what my memory was comparing them to. After a few more seconds I estimated that I was about 50 west of Omaha Nebraska near David City, just east of Highway 15 and north of Highway 92 in a farm field within the United States. Was this still the United States? The map seemed to match my memory so that was a good sign.

As I was standing there looking around I heard a buzzing sound coming from my west and realized that 3 small dots were flying low over the ground toward me. Three small drones came up to me, spread into a triangle formation with me at the center, then circled me as I felt myself being scanned.

The drones stopped circling and one hovered five feet in front of me while the other two hovered behind me at my four and eight o’clock positions. I was perfectly triangulated between them as a speaker in the drone in front of me asked, “Citizen, you are not registered with the department of homeland security as being assigned to this location. How did you get here and what is your purpose?”

“Hello, I don’t know exactly how I arrived here…”

“Falsehood detected, capture for interrogation,” the one behind me said, drawing my attention to look at it as I heard a “Pfft” and felt a sting in my neck.

“Nanite countermeasures detected…” was all I heard as the three drones pulsed and fell to the ground. Too late I realized that all three had released an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) which stunned my nanites long enough for the sedative to take hold and drop me into unconsciousness.
