Chapter 2 - Cheat?
This is going to take forever to do!!
But I don''t have forever; I have at most a decade.
Okay, now that I say this, I think I''m losing track of time.
But seriously, hundreds of planets, hundreds of different solar objects, and anomalies. A decade is simply just not enough time to review and compare environments.
"Hmm, what if," I mutter to myself. I look up and yell, "Hey Ring, can you help me."
[How May I Help Reincarnator]
"Can you make a constraint and a couple of tables, please?"
[. . . Possible Reincarnator]
And so, a dozen or more of the previous screens now appear with different options and functions like statistics and font size.
"This will do, thank you!!"
[Your welcome Reincarnator]
A little later, about an hour, as far as I can tell, The Ring gave me the time to "Finish the reincarnation."
[9-years/11-months/3-weeks/2-days/5:52:43:12]
It appears like I''ve been sleeping in that shell for about 5 days, a waste, but I can''t do anything about it. My table is ready, but now I need a constant to find the best spot.
"Ring, you can remind me of the variables I have control over."
[Yes Reincarnator
- World
- Location
- Race
-Divine blessing (Options)
]
See this, this is a trap. In reading this logically, you start with the world, right? Wrong!! The right way is to start from the bottom up.
I don''t know why they wrote it like that; what I do know is that it was a waste of "my" time.
"Show me all the Divine blessings."

This list is shorter than Worlds by a few magnitudes, with just 12 options, and proves to be the real starting point. Fire-Water, Air-Earth, Wood-Metal, Mind-Body, Space-Time. Seems they come in pairs.
"Any downsides for taking two different elements instead of a pair"
[Pair Growth is Faster as Each Time One Grows the Other Grows as Well]
[Different Elements Give Mixed Element, the downside is you need to grow three elements instead of the hypothetical one]
I already made up my ''mind'' i wanted the mind element, and mixed elements seem to have more potential so . . .
"Then Mind and . ." Before I can finish my sentence, another screen appears.

Air, Water, Earth? "No, wait what''s Defend Soul?"
[A Combination of MIND and EARTH gives the following benefits:
Protection from Higher Powers "Soul Grab, Soul Search, Soul extinguish, Soul Fire," and more.
Has minor effects on Fear, Madness, And Depression.
Used By: Undead, Faye, Eldrich, Paladins, and other minor races.
]
The fact that my soul can be attacked is almost enough to make me stress about buying Defend Soul, but " Can I get other blessings later."
[Possible Reincarnator, Prerequisites:
<ul>
<li>Race Class: Monster, Beast, Elemental, Construct, Divine, Infernal.</li>
<li>Pass Affinity Test of 50 or Greater.</li>
<li>Alternatively, Evolve With an Element Aligned Core.</li>
</ul>

Hmm, should I become a different race?
Should I become a monster?
"What are the benefits of being a human," the only way forward is with a good graph and conviction.
[Humans Gain the Following:
<ul>
<li>Weapon Mastery, Tool Mastery, Armor Mastery, . . . Agriculture Mastery.</li>
<li>Normal Life Span, Life span Growth is Low.</li>
<li>Level growth is equal to 2^(y-x)+y=Exp.(y-enemy level ,x-your level)</li>
<li>Body Specs are in the Low to Mid-High Tier.</li>
</ul>
"What are the benefits of being a Monster," now for the competition.
[Monsters Gain the Following:
<ul>
<li>Body Enchantments, Magic Enhancements, Mind Enhancements . . . Libido Enhancements.</li>
<li>Long Life Span, Life Span Growth is Indefinite.</li>
<li>Level growth is equal to (x + y)^2=Exp.(y-enemy level ,x-your level)</li>
<li>Body Specs are in the High to Legendary Tier.</li>
<li>All Exp Gain is From Death Combat.</li>
</ul>
"Benefits, ben-ne-fits," I sing as I do my graph.
Monster is the best starting point. The human race might look good, but if you read between the lines, experience gain drops to a snail''s pace, and life expectancy is a big issue, especially for humans.
The monster restriction is "All experience gain comes from deadly combat." This means that if I wanted to do hypothetical farming, I would have to be attacked to level. Not that bad when your life span and Indefinite. The Unknown is calling and being a monster is part of it.
"Ring I want to be a Monster."
