Notice:
Before beginning, I haven't written in over a year. Life's been busy and I don't have the time to spend on live.fiction for hours on end. (first time posting a story on qst even tho I lurk on other quests here)
Secondly, I will be using chatgpt sparingly, mainly for power creation, item creation, side character creation, event starts, and creature creation. I will write everything else with no generated text. You have my word as an author.
Thirdly, we will be using a 2d100 system for our MC, who will be male. Depending on the rolls in the quest, this could improve for various talents.
Lastly, let's have some fun.


>Hello world of system sol-5<
>Having advanced close enough to a class 1 world, it is time to choose a deity for your world<
>Cell’s have awakened, life energy is unlocked, dungeons are being generated<
>Historical Artifacts have gained power. Trials have been created<
>Legacies are gaining power<
>Animals are awakening<
>Nukes have been disabled<
>Let fortune favor you, my descendants<


So no shit there you were shitting your brains out on the toilet of a tacobell before the world went to more shit then this year's burning man.
Feeling something in you unlock, power you could touch deep within you.

1d2 1 = City Slicker 2 = Farmer (rolled 1)

You are Noah Caldwell second year of high school. Completely average in all but grades being in the D’s. Not even passing but really the teachers' hearts aren’t in to improve. Especially in Portland, where it feels the only safe place is home.

Why did I have to listen to Mitch? I could be in my nice comfy home getting an eternal frown from his mother then having to deal with his ‘date’.

Mitch his good buddy of a perfectly average high schooler and him were kindred spirits. He was a bit smarter than Noah getting C’s. Yet Noah was the muscle having to once drop a tweaker trying to rob them on the way home.

(Rolled Dice for the duo date. As expected you are the third wheel. I’m sorry. 50 Mitch, 29 Girl 1, 61 Girl 2)

Acquired traits:
Budding athlete: +5 to rolls of the physical nature.
Dullard: -5 to rolls of the mental nature.
Young potential(Temp): Seek strength through adversity.

The only saving grace at least they cleaned the bathroom. If only his date was as clean. Slut of Lasting Hills Highschool Lema Birchwood. He bit his lip and stared daggers at his friend Mitch who was ignoring him.

‘It’ll be a nice blind date Noah.’ He said, ‘Please do me a solid. I think I got a real shot at Rosa. And the girl I’m hooking you up isn’t THAT bad.’

She wasn’t the worst, but… She was a crazy bitch, honestly it was a surprise she wasn’t expelled from school after smashing a girl's face into the locker repeatedly. For a simple comment on her activities in a bathroom with a senior.

Were the rumors true? Did she sleep with him? Who knows. But the name Bitch Wood Stuck.

Highschool was like that. One day you were on the top of the world, the next you were in the dump wondering where it went wrong. It was getting rough in there, with Lema staring out at the window ignoring him swirling her coffee.

She seemed bored with him and Mitch with Rosa carrying the conversation for the most part. Yet that was the least of his problems with the announcement that shook his soul. He wanted to study this feeling however he heard screams outside and a car crash.

Things were already deteriorating and he knew he had to do something.

What do you do?

>Stay put Try to understand this energy. DC ??? Bo2
>Your friend needs you, go to him. (fight or stealth challenge if picked state which option you want)
>Search for a weapon. (Luck or intelligence roll. Write-in’s help)
>Run away, friend be damned. (No combat)
>Write-in

Also regardless give me 2d100 for bloodline chance. DC 80

I was doing some rolls for the side characters, and Mitch rolled a bloodline. I've generated a few choices.
We have historical figures mythicized for the cool factor, such as Geronimo (the Apache Leader), John Henry, and Buffalo Bill Cody, who will each have their own abilities.

Mythical Figures such as god figures or characters such as Sun Wukong or Merlin.

Or original bloodlines Dustborn Titan what I can spin up and work with.

Pick 1 of 3 choices and then I'll place some choices down.

Alright, it appears that Alexander the Great has won. Locking, two things I'm 2 tried so when I wake up I shall post.

Second of all, I got bored, so I've created another quest. On fiction.live with the same idea. This only happened because A. Bored and b. I can offload a lot of my thinking on various things and just write using ChatGPT.
So things shall change a bit.

You guys are getting bo3 now on account of longer turns. Second, I'm going to pace your turns to match theirs, so they will be doing day by day, and here you'd get a week.

You will be playing within the same world. Now I haven't told them so keep it hush hush as long as you can.

While I sleep choose three stats to improve and one trait for choosing to start you at taco bell.

Strength - This covers tests of strength such as lifting a car or pulling back a bow and hammers.

Dexterity - This covers tests of flexibility and footing along with wielding swords, spears, knive, etc.

Agility - This covers tests of dodging or movement.

Endurance - This covers tests of how long you can run, get hit, or stay awake.

Wisdom - Covers worldly knowledge, heart demons, understanding, and willpower.

Intelligence - Solving puzzles, figuring things out, reading texts.

Charm - How good of a smooth talker you are.

Cunning - Tricking, crafting, ingenuity, and planning

Fortune - Points you get out of jail free card awarded by me, the QM.

Even from the screams and shouts, Noah sat on the toilet. Seemingly in a funk as he felt the energy flow through himself.

Feeling like he was fading, he entered a trance as the stall walls fell away into a majestic plain of wheat. Standing up amazed, he looked back only to see that even the toilet was gone. Trying to find the words for the friends that stretched into the horizon, a hand clasped his shoulders.

Noth tried to look at the man; however, the sun blinded his features.

"Isn't the sight amazing? I fought for so long to take all the lands under the gods, take the known world by horse and sword. Only to end up poisoned before my time." The larger then man laughed before drinking from a leather pouch smelling of strong wine.

Noah was so confused, he had to ask the man, "Who are you? Where am I?"

The man put down the pouch on his belt, then took a thinking pose, "Hmm, indeed, where are we? I've wondered a great detail where that could be. I died, I know I died is a fact. So would this be the afterlife, Elysium? I figured I'd have a seat at the gods' tables. Who has conquered more then me?

Perhaps I've been simply sleeping in the blood of my descendants. Aristotle would know; the man knew so much, yet said he had more to learn. None of that matters; what matters is that I know you are my descendant. And have little time to speak."

The sun fades from the man's face, fiery red hair, large oxen colored eyes, and skin bronzed from was revealed.

"I am Alexander the Great, and I bestow upon you the knowledge to grow in strength. Do what I couldn't do, Noah, take the world."

He pressed a finger towards Noah's head, and information burst inside.

As information flooded Noth's brain, his body was already moving on. Grabbing the ceramic lid and kicking down the door.

The door explodes off the hinges, smashing into the mirror, sending shards scattering around. Hearing the shouts and screams, Noah wasted no time bashing down the stall door, sending the solid wood door flying.

Entering the bathroom hall, Noa,h if he were awake, would be horrified as rats the size of small dogs were feasting on a poor waiter's legs.

In the short time he was inside the bathroom, they had already eaten the poor man's feet and hands! In quick movement, Noth smashed one of the rats into chunky sausa. Drenching the other rat in blood.

Who then jumped and tried to rip Noth's throat out. But the spirit of Alexandor laughed, grabbing the rat mid-air by the neck. Before snapping its neck, popping its eyeballs out as the light faded from them.

Another rat then appeared, riding one of the waitresses, screaming her head off as the rat attacked her back, trying to get her neck.

Without hesitation, Noah's body threw the rat corpse with such force that it hit the rat. It exploded in the gore, drenching the crying girl in rat blood.

And so forth, the ghost of Alexander MOVED. Kicking, punching the rats that were coming out of the kitchen in large numbers until the tide turned away in fear back into the dark holes they belong.

It was done, and only then did Noah awake. To the words of his friend Mitch, standing on the table, protecting the two girls with a chair. Bloody but alive.

"Bro, what the fuck was that?"
