MEERRRRYYYY SLIGHTLY LATE CHRISTMAS!

Honestly meant to do this yesterday, but I got caught up in Kirby Star Allies. It's finished now, and soon so will this! MY STORIES SHALL NEVER TRULY DIE!

Now, let's get on with it, ne?

Spoiler: La Plan

MONDAY: Choose 2 Worth of Action Points Below
[Insert] Respond to Konatsu and Mifune
[X] Try to Train Something (Costs 2 Action)
-[X] Ring of the 9 Dragons. Split in 2. Split on Physically active and Mentally active. Heavily rejected by Koga. Instead, you get to play vidya games. Through random selection, it will be...

Let's get going.

"Zzzzzz-HURK!-zzzzz..." Was the sound you blearily heard yourself make as you found yourself coming awake in front of your computer.

Ah Jesus, how tired WERE you last night, you couldn't help but think, carefully peeling yourself from the leather upholstery you had gotten so comfy on.

"Well, whatever the case, I definitely needed that. Feels like I slept for a month..." You muttered to yourself, stopping only for a moment to give a spine cracking stretch and yawn, as well as to rub back your now flat at the back hair back into some kind of semi mess.

"Haaa, well, let's take another look before anything else...kind of just a blank." Was all you said before popping right back down, enjoying the minor groove you had left from your long stay before, but it wasn't like you were staying long...again.

Okay, from your previous tabs and emails, you could see... you sent the replies to Konatsu and Mifune, looked up some soundtracks for a new release for one of your favorite game series, which you would have to buy in both Japanese and the English release later, started working on a new design for a bot based on a weird crab you found out about from a Google trail of random clicks, and downloaded...70 new games from Coal Burner?

"Huh, most of these look like random garbage bought by half awake at 3 AM Jack, but a few of these look pretty good!" You enthused for a moment as you scrolled through your newfound options.

At least now you knew what you were doing today!

*ONE HOUR LATER*

"Well that was garbage." You groused as you nearly flung your controller to the opposite side of the couch.

What the hell was with some of these things? It'd be one thing if they were just in development or anything, you could get that as a programmer, but these things were marked as full as will be, and were just... hot messes was the only near polite term you could think for such shoddy products being used for money.

"Ah...let's just try the next one...Hollow Knight, eh? Sure, let's see how long this holds..." You noted to yourself, having finished deleting the previous game, and viewing the loading screen for the next.

*THREE HOURS LATER*

"FUCKIN WATCHER KNIGHTS! SCREW THIS PLACE!" You raged at the bullshit before you, watching your masks get wiped out with each out of sync bounce.

*FOUR HOURS LATER*

"NOOOOO, MIAAAAA!" You blubbered as you hastily left the mines, vowing to never go that way again.

*FIVE HOURS LATER*

"I AM THE FOOL!" You roared as you shot up from the coach, slightly sweaty controller held high above your head as you basked in triumph.

*NINE HOURS LATER*

"AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" You didn't care how load you were screaming at the screen, you were about to kill the Absolute Radiance with only one Mask remaining.

Closer...closer...Now!

"WWWWAAAARRG!"

"Woe! Thou Speck! To achieve victory, even with..."

"I DID IT! YES! YESSS! FUCK YOU, I'M THE GODMASTER NOW! YES! HAAAHAHAHAHAHA!" You began to cackle madly as you crashed down onto your couch, completely exhausted from the ordeal of the boss fight, but soooo fucking satisfied at the moment.

"Well worth every cent, damn. Studio Cherry, you're about to get yourself a few million of whatever the fuck you want, if it means more things like this." You wheezed, coming down from your laughing fit and desperately needing food and water now.

You'd follow through later, first came living needs, then throwing money at things can be done.

* ONE BIG GULP OF SHASTA AND THREE HOT POCKETS LATER*

'Woo! Needed that... only 6 in the afternoon though... fuck, how early did I get up? Alright, let's try one more than call it a day. Moderation and all that after all...'

"Ooh, got this one for free from that subscription... Yakuza Zero eh? Must be a set up for something later. Let's see if they get there.." You mulled over as you saw the loading screen, displaying two extremely detailed character models.

"Hmm, this should be pretty cool..."

*SEVEN HOURS LATER*

"Hello Chicken. Your name will be... Nugget."

"PPPPHHHFFFF-Ha, HAHAHAHA! What the fuck even is this game! NUGGET IS PAID 300,000 YEN A MONTH! BAHAHAHAHA!" You just continued to laugh at the sheer turns this game took. Screw those earlier games you got, these two were worth the shite!

Yeah, you made the right choice for today, settling back to grind your real estate empire, while also taking some notes, cause god damn you actually knew some rich people like them you thought this could be useful to use against.

END OF DAY

GAINS:

Early Plans for Disguise Bot: This Bot works best in urban wild environments, using discarded bricks, trash, and flora to form its body. At least, that's the general idea. To bring to working order, spend specific time-slots on it, as you would with regular Jack-Bot creation.

A Platinum Trophy for your profile and a sense of fulfillment so few things can truly give without killing something with your bare hands. For the next two weeks, you'll feel more confident in Skill or Tactical decisions, and thus less likely to doubt yourself. This will not be on the Stat page, because it will only perk if specific situations arise.

An Understanding into how to come from Nothing: By Kicking the shit out of millionaires until you can fight billionaires, and buying out a Japanese city with massive stacks of cash. With enough liquid capital gained, you can now try and buy out some property! *Price will very depending on relationship with current owner, as well as sheer amount of capital being offered.*

END OF GAINS

Today was a great day for me, and I hope everyone else is having a fantastic week as well. Merry Christmas everyone, and Happy New Year if I don't write another update for this before then!
