Carthienes von Isekai: Jumpchain++
"Break it, you want me to break it?" I looked up at the self-proclaimed 'Nomu Acedia' after glancing over the options, "Damn right I'll break it. I'll take the 'Balanced', and start with Bliss."
"And where would you go?" Acedia stated listlessly.
"Jumpchain, Creative mode One point Three." I felt a slight smirk forming, "With the Mail Order House Rule in play; and let me discuss other possible House Rules with my Jump Chan before beginning."
"Easily done," Acedia sighed, "And the rest?"
"Speaking of Jump Chan, bring in Leftina and Rightia to administer that role. They aren't to retain their Jump Chan powers outside of their role, but should be fully able to administer to my chain – loyal Jump Chans are so hard to find, after all."
"Indeed, their other assets will help I suppose."
"Yes, have them backed by Jump-fiat." I instructed, "The personal changes, add them to my Body Mod, the rest can be a warehouse attachment or imported into the worlds as appropriate. For the third item, I'll take the Book of Creation as a backup. The art skills would be interesting, and I may find it easier to draw something than to find the right import option."
"A truly 'Balanced' build," Acedia nodded apathetically, "Your build is granted..."
"Wait just a minute, I haven't added by bonus yet!" Acedia stared blankly, "Thank you. According to the change log I get 2..."
"You read the change logs?" Acedia inquired absently.
"Always read the logs, you find the most pleasant gems there," I replied, pointing to the page, "Add the local guidebook from Magic Snort Snort, attuned to the current jump. And the Infinite Money from But she's 3000 years old! - fiat backed, both of them."
"Of course," Acedia sighed, "Your build is granted, enjoy them."
A moment later I was staring at the bare concrete walls of an empty warehouse, a single grand door on one wall. From that door a pair of near skyclad maids emerged. I recognised them from their picture, right down to the little collars they wore. Between them they bore what I instinctively recognised as the Book of Creation – the sketchbook on the right and the pencils on the left. A much better use of their trays than originally depicted, I felt.
"Master, I am Rightia," the pencil bearer declared in a sultry tone as she dropped to one knee on the concrete floor.
"I am Leftina, Master," her twin stammered, before likewise sinking and presenting her burden.
"And together we are your Jump Chan!" they declared in practised unison.
"Your ever-loving maids who will do anything for you, Master..." Rightia added.
"Anything, Master." Leftina added, a hint of desperation in her tone.
"I think we have some matters to discuss about the Jump Chain, don't we?" I sighed, "And stand up. That floor can't be good on your knees."
"For Master we will bear any torment," Rightia chirped as she sprung up, "You will torment us, please?"
"As Master wills," Leftina muttered
"House Rules!" I snapped at them.
"Of course, Master; anything Master." Rightia pointed at the wall behind me. A screen had formed in the blank concrete, showing lists of rules and their descriptions.
"We have already implemented Creative Mode and Mail Order." Leftina informed me, "What else do you desire, Master?"
"Companion limits spring to mind," I replied, my eyes on the screen, "Only having 8 available at any one time is going to get old fast."
"Easily fixed!" Rightia bounced behind me as the list reordered.
"Hmm. Ignore companion limits entirely, perhaps not." I muttered to myself, "Though any limit will begin to wear eventually... Ah what the hell, add The Entourage rule to override the default limit on active companions. Also, Canon Companion so I can purchase any character for 400cp, and Companion Option so I can design OCs for jumps that don't have them."
"At once, Master." Leftina bowed deep as the screen updated.
"Hmm. Fortress of the Jumper is a little vague, but provides the best defences. Add that as my Warehouse with the Shipyard Rule for exoatmospheric craft. Same problems, but the capacity helps."
"Done!" Rightia chimed.
"Add Further Information is Not Available Here, to protect my chain knowledge against accidents, and Flexible Schedule rule to shift my entry point slightly."
"Yes, Master."
"Finally, The Fanon Canon toggle, because some settings deserve the change; and Resolve and Leave rule, so we don't have to wait through too much downtime unless I want to."
"Done and Done!" the options on the screen where highlighted and flashed.
"Are you content, Master?" Leftina asked as her sister bounced.
"Yes," I turned to face them with a nod, "Start the chain."
"As Your Jumpchan, Master, We Will Comply." the two spoke as one with joined hands, their power echoing in their voices and through the empty room, which shifted slightly in response.
"Where will we Jump first, Master?" Rightia bounced distractingly in front of me, "Are we going somewhere fun?"
"How might we serve you?" Leftina added, her head low.
"First thing's first." I smiled for the first time in what had felt like a long time, "I need to tour my new realm, get a feel for the place – and my new maids."
"Are you going to torment us?" Rightia eagerly begged.
"Rightia..." Leftina moaned in desperate anticipation.
"Be good," I admonished, "And perhaps we'll see just how much torment you can take."
"Yay!" Rightia bounced off towards one of the new doors.
"As Master wills." Leftina bowed deeply before moving to explain the doors.
