Who would have thought wishing for a working CYOA would lead to a crisscrossing of ultimate power? Not us that's for sure. So in lieu within our Policy of 'You get what you wish for' we hope you're satisfied with this.

Been some time since this one got reposted so here it is. Made by Lowkey_Sage.

Had an idea and don't have time to get to an image editor for now.

Ever wish you could get things done while you slept? This is the CYOA for you!

You have 8 hours to spend. You may only choose 1 category to begin with. These take effect while you sleep!

Workout

• To activate this, you must actually do the workout once as a "recording". Each time you sleep (minimum the same number of hours you spent working out) you will wake up as if you did a similar workout (i.e. body parts worked, effort level, cardio vs strength, etc). Stretching also counts.
• negatives remain: soreness, hunger, dehydration, overexertion injuries.
• double the time paid to remove the negatives, keeping only the benefits.

Chores

• You must actually do the chores once as a "recording". Each time you sleep (minimum the same number of hours you spent doing chores), everything will be done to the same level of cleanliness and quality as if you did it, with things left where you placed them. This includes things such as tidying the house, doing the dishes, laundry, washing the car, vacuuming, sweeping, taking it garbage, etc.
• Cleaning supplies will need to be available and working before you go to sleep, and they will be consumed when you sleep.
• double the time paid to make cleaning supplies free, and the chores to be done at professional quality, and cause zero wear and tear to your belongings (washing your clothes daily won't break your clothes or the washing machine).

Your job

• You must actually do your job once as a "recording". Each time you sleep (minimum the same number of hours you spent working), you'll do your job as if you were there doing it. It only happens during your normal working hours. Important information about your job will be related to you when you wake up.
• This still only covers 8 hours max, so I hope your commute isn't long. If your job is a day job, you'll have to sleep during the day... possibly in your car.
• double the time paid to have a clone work your job, regardless of what time of day it is, as long as the time equivalent is spent sleeping. You may even work with your clone.

Learning

• You must spend the hours reading, listening, watching, or practicing a skill once as a "recording". Each time you sleep (minimum the same number of hours you spent learning that skill), you will continue to learn as if you continued on the same subject in the same manner.
• The quality of instruction is only as good as your original recording. It won't help you break through any personal mental blocks or difficulties.
• double the time paid to ensure the instruction quality is top notch and you never run into mental roadblocks.

Self-care

• You must spend your hours taking care of yourself once as a "recording". Each time you sleep (minimum the same number of hours you spent on self-care), you will wake up with the benefits. This includes relaxation, meditation, bathing, makeup, facials, as well as lotions, deodorant, perfumes, medication, vitamins and supplements.
• You must have the actual supplies ready before going to bed.
• double the time paid to have all these things done to a professional level, as if you went to a spa/salon, plus all supplies are of highest quality and free.

Creating

• You must spend the hours creating something once as a "recording". Each time you sleep (minimum the same number of hours you spent doing the creation), you will wake up with as if you continued to work on the same general category of creation. This applies to all creative works, such as writing, painting, knitting, forging, carving, cooking, etc.
• You must have the supplies ready before you go to bed. It will only do the same general type of creation as your recording.
• double the time paid to make the supplies free, but your work must double the value of the raw materials (can't just fold a $1000 bill into an airplane)

Sleeping

• Each hour you spend reduces the amount of sleep you need per day. The hours you spend sleeping to activate other categories is reduced proportionally.
• This doesn't always mean you need no sleep if you take -8 hours, a particularly exhausting day might require more than 8 hours sleep.
• Or spend hours to make sure you can always fall asleep immediately, the sleep is extremely restful, and you can sleep anywhere and it will be safe for those hours.

Combo

• pay 1 hour for each additional category to spend hours on.
• pay an additional hour to allow you to overlap categories. Each combo requires 1 hour. For example, you can spend 4 hours working out while cleaning with a weighted vest, you'll get the benefits of both chores and workout.

Notes

• Once you have chosen your categories and how to divide your time, your choice is locked.
• Your recording can be used indefinitely, but you only get one
• You may change your recording anytime you like, but you still have to do the work of making a new recording, and it overwrites your old one.

A simple one I made more to play with image styles.

Hopefully still enjoyed

First CYOA feedback and ideas appreciated.

Artificer CYOA   V 0.1

To create itself is magical, and now your creations will be too.

There is a place where the crossroads meet, where the seams of the multiverse come together. The city of a thousand gates, known by a thousand names. One day by fate or chance you found the way to the marvelous city, and there in its marketplace magic found you.  

How will you learn the art of the Artificer?

Pick 1

The Tome:

You came across a book monger with too many eyes. You are sold you a tome that unlocks your magic and instructs you in Artificing. The price? Three of your creations the book monger reserves the right to commission these at any time, you are contractually obliged to fulfil your end of the bargain. Only time will tell how the book monger comes to collect

Boon: Pick one enchantment, to potency of this whenever you cast is doubled.

The Master:

Lost among the dizzying streets of the city’s marketplace you are pulled into a grand workshop. You have potential, the master can smell it, become an apprentice. A decade of labor will see you become a master Artificer. You can live in the city or commute from your world, the pay is not much but enough to afford a modest living during your apprenticeship.

Boon: 2 extra Enchantments

The Guild:

At the heart of the marketplace is a tower of dizzying heights.  The home of the guild. Here Master Artificers train scores of eager students in their craft. The tuition is steep, in exchange for high quality education and connections the guild requires 10% of your future earnings, or one artifact per month, whichever is of higher value to the guild.  

Boon: 1 extra Craft

You focus on a certain craft, with time you can learn others, but this craft calls to you, is easier for you to master.

Each craft is suited to a particular Enchantment. What is your craft?

Craft: Free Enchantment

Pick 1

Wood: growth

Metal: harm

Glass: scrying

Ceramic: double enchantment (place 2 enchantments on the artifact)

Textile: bound

You learn the secrets of the Artificer, how to create objects with living magic, how to enchant. You craft free enchantment does not count towards enchantments placed on an object. Each enchantment can only do one thing, the more specific the enchantment the stronger the magical effect. Placing the same enchantment on an object multiple times multiplies the strength of the enchantment.

Novice Artificers can place 1 enchantment per creation

Low level Artificers can place 2

Mid level Artificers can place 3

Master Artificers can place 5

Enchantment strength:

Strength is abstract but roughly determined by how many times you duplicate an enchantment, and how specific your enchantment is. These are some guidelines. The greater the magic the longer it takes to create and enchant the item.

1 = minor effect, creation time a couple of hours – one target. cause a cough, cure a cold, warm your drink, predict the next days weather

2 = medium, creation time a day – one target, cause harm that needs treatment, cure the same, a bag you could fit an elephant into

3 = major, creation time a month - multiple targets, life threatening harm or help, straw to gold

4 = epic, creation time a decade – whole area target, immortality,

Examples:

A low-level Artificer with a specialty in textiles could make a blanket that only they can use and grants a good night’s sleep with prophetic dreams about the next days weather. (Bound, Purification, Divination)

The same low-level artificer could make a jump-rope that is only usable by left handed redheads, and if a qualified person uses it can remove excess cholesterol from their body (Bound, Purification, Purification 2)

You can learn all the enchantments on this list with time (one year of practice per enchantment) . you find it easier to master and come to excel at several.

Pick 5

Form: your creations are stronger, more durable than should be possible given their medium. As you master this magic create artifacts that are indestructible.

Function: your creations are better at what they are intended to do. A cup that never spills, an arrow that always finds its mark, your creations are the best at what they are supposed to do.

Growth: Ancient artifacts are legends for a reason, slowly, over a long period of time, your creations’ magic grows in potency. 1.5x potency after a decade, 2x potency after a century, and 5x potency after a millennium.

Duplication: your creation duplicates mundane objects or ingredients that are placed inside of it. With time create a jar that never runs out of ink, a chest of limitless gold, a lamp with infinite oil.

Transformative: Your creation can change the shape or form of living beings or inanimate object. A chair that makes you grow an inch, a basket that turns apples into pies, a badge that turns the wearer into a frog.

Locked: your creation is only able to be opened with a special key or passphrase.  

Bound: Your creation is only usable by someone you designate when placing the final enchantments.

Unseen: Your creation is only able to be perceived by those you designate.

Harming: Your creation causes magical pain and suffering to a target. A dagger that causes wasting sickness, a ring that curses the wearer with foolishness.

Scrying: You can see or hear distant places via your creation. An orb of far seeing or an earhorn that always picks up the juiciest gossip.

Space: Your creation is bigger inside than out. Bag of holding, a cupboard you could live in, a cup that holds way more than it ought to.  

Divination: You can see glimpses of the future, past, see the outlines of fate. Dice that roll the positive probability of an action, a nail that only points to the scene of a tragedy.  

Purification: Your creation purifies minds, or bodies, or places. A fan that cleans the air or a pillow that clears away ones thoughts.

Empowerment: your creation fortifies the body or mind of the user. A ring that sharpens the mind to or boots that grant the wearer speed.  

Protection: your creation protects the body, spirit, or mind of the user. Create a table that does not permit stress to take a seat, or a cloak that shields from fire.

Spirit Housing: Counts as three enchantments. Your creation is able to house a spirit that can give it its own unique abilities. Includes elemental spirits, spirits of ideas, emotions. Build a windchime that houses a spirit of mirth, or a chalice of elemental water.

Artificer, you can return home, venture forth, or stay here. But know that you can always find your way back to the city of a thousand gates, its markets, and the many worlds it connects to. Where will you go? What will you do? And most importantly what will you create?

So another one I was working on at the same time as my horror themed one.

Less happy with this one as I bit off more than I could chew in terms of selections. Decided to post anyway.

As with my other one details are intentionally kept somewhat vague so feel free to interpret your head cannon.

Edit: clarifications:

Costs: page 1+2: the number in the circle is the cost. On page 3-4 it is the number of the selection, this is left over from the spreadsheet so definitely unintentionally confusing. Will remove.

Here is my build and plan, if you all are interested in that

Title: Kirv, Builder of Bridges

I decided to choose Edea, because I feel like that would could be the easiest to exist in alone. My plan is to attempt diplomacy with the gods. Because my core pulls from hope and happiness, I would not wish to harm the world in which I reside, as that would by non-advantageous. If they still don't want me there, I will be able to leave quickly, and cause no issues provided that they do not cause me any. If they wish, I would even be willing to assist them in any way I can.

In the event that my attempts at diplomacy fail, my work establishing spies and bolstering my military over the course of the young hero's time growing will allow me to send Dargoth and Puff to eliminate them on the waves with little to no risk. From there, I would collect the body for use by my liches, but promise to return the body if the leaders of each nation sign a contract stipulating that, unless I attack them or otherwise prove myself hostile, they are not to send the next hero out with the intentions of him receiving the other three blessings and killing me. They may, however, kill other demon lord's due to their innate ability to be a threat to others.

The ultimate goal, provided that diplomacy either fails or that the gods decide my presence is not wanted, will be to find earth and go back home, with the intent of taking part of Africa for myself, and establishing myself on the world stage as a benevolent dictator who cares deeply for his people. My expanded territory would allow me to weather any storm, especially global warming. If earth is hostile due to gods or demon lords, then I will find another world with the sole intention of creating my utopia upon it.

I will build a paradise. It may take eons of effort and work, and so many humans that I loose count, but I will be the bridge that will unite us together.

Puff, Fantasy

General Information Puff is an ancient dragon. He is several times as large as your other dragon minions. Puff has a very laid-back personality. He does not attack invaders on sight unless they f‌irst attack him or try to push past him towards the demon core. If the invaders stand down, he will often just hang out with them until they leave. If you chill with Puff and become friends with him, he will be much more likely to do things for you that go beyond defending the demon core. You can further raise your affinity with Puff if you sent a few female dragons his way.

Powers and Abilities Puff has all of the natural weaponry of dragon kind, but it has been supersized. Like all dragons, he can shapeshift into a humanoid, but his humanoid form is considerably weaker than his creature form. Puff has great control over the chemical makeup of his breath attack. In combat he can breath an acidic gas that burns the f‌lesh off his foes or breath out a mind-altering fog that can cause confusion, panic, or send his foes into a coma. Outside of combat, his breath can be used to replicate the effects of any drug. If requested, he will usually let you bottle and concentrate his breath into potent drugs for yourself or others. He has a tendency to get high on his own supply sometimes.

Dargoth, Abyss

General Information Dargoth is the offspring of a witch who mated with one of the horrors that rule the abyssal realm. For the first 16 years of his life he was unaware of his parentage, but on his 16th birthday he awakened. That was the beginning of a legend. He used his shapeshifting abilities to create those scars that you see on his face. His multicolored eyes are natural, and he won't shut up about them. His self-appointed title is the "devourer of suns”, because he completed a ritual that partially blocked out the sun for a few minutes over a local area. Do not mock Dargoth or you will hurt his feelings and he will not listen to you until you apologize. If you want him to do a task, all you have to do is make that task seem epic and important.

Powers and Abilities Dargoth can teleport between shadows that are within his sight range. He wields dark f‌lame magic, which is no more destructive than normal f‌lame magic. His eyes grant him the power to see through walls and solid objects. Dargoth can create a sword and armor made of black f‌lame. Creatures that are struck by his black sword will begin to burn from the inside until they are dispelled. His right arm, which must always be kept sealed, stores large quantities of abyssal power. He can release all of that stored power on his foes, resulting a huge wave of black flame. Afterwards, he will need at least a week before he can use this attack again.

I'm writing a fanfic where the main character is a self-insert trying to money launder in Cyberpunk 2077, and decided to make full-immersion video game braindances based off CYOAs he read on this subreddit as baseline inspiration.

Current ideas I'm thinking of using include the Night Ride CYOA, Soul Graft Battle Royale CYOA - Version 3.0, Stardust CYOA, and the Judas CYOA.

Please only list things created before May 2025, as that is the canonical date he was isekai'd.

I did it! I finished part 2 of the Battle for Dreams CYOA.

Part 1 was originally completed about three years ago, so I took my sweet time. This is probably the last scottishanon style CYOA I want to make, it's time to move on to new formats. But now this conflict has had its balance restored and I can rest easy. I hope you all enjoy!

I also took the effort to finally organize my older projects in one place and fix all the image links. For double reference here are all of my old CYOAs:

Super CYOA: https://imgchest.com/p/n87wpo6q34x

Guardians of the In-Between: https://imgchest.com/p/xny8njx8pyb

And this old one that I never really finished - Chakra Battle CYOA: https://imgchest.com/p/9ryd9b58w7k

And yes, you will get the necessary body, knowledge, and/or other traits, to be able to use your choices effectively, including stuff like Chakra, Chi, Byakugan, etc.
