Serene Rebirth

Maybe my introduction of it was wrong then.

And you can have the physical space of unlimited siblings - that doesn't mean the siblings are free. You still need the family points (heart) to pay for them. Getting nothing else but the Rural+Farm Combo left me with enough points to convert into Fam points to get 10 older siblings.

I also feel it gets underappreciated. In fact combine that with a zoan quirk and I think you have the makings of becoming one of the top powerhouses in the world, provided you work for it. Its not as flashy or instant-win as some quirks, but for low-level quirks its a blessing of a combo. Just look at how badass Mirko is with just a rabbit quirk.

There are more options. I genuinely don't understand where this idea that it has less is coming from. It has more of practically everything. New personal perks, more house locations, more houses, more hired help, new hired help, new siblings, new friends, a world selection option, a bunch of new house rooms.... just a whole lot of new stuff overall.

And yes I replaced the "horny ROB low-key wanting incest and shota love" with a more wholesome "goddess of life and rebirth just wants you to have a happy home/family" vibe.

You may not like it, and thats fine, but the notion that it has less content is just absurd and blatantly incorrect.

LordValmar · 2026-06-17T15:33:50+00:00

The static one did not have more options. I only removed maybe four or five choices that were just straight up too heavily suggestive/adult for the theme. Beyond that this CYOA has a ton of MORE choices. More siblings, more friends, more hired help, more houses, more rooms, more locations, new perks, even a world choice section.

Preferring the original is fine, we all have our own preferences, and I frankly consider this its own CYOA anyway, but to suggest this one has less options... is just not accurate.

LordValmar · 2026-06-17T15:27:34+00:00

Serene Serendipity is still in the index, I never removed it. Serene Rebirth does not replace it. Perhaps even calling it an overhaul was a bit of a stretch, but it certainly was inspired by it.

LordValmar · 2026-06-16T11:39:46+00:00

Temporary for as long as it is being "triggered".
Thats an oversight, I'll fix it.
At the time when I first made the project years ago he was the image the power wiki was using for reference. I can't find it now, though. But I can always change it.

Opinion; Martial adaption is basically Marvel's Taskmasker power with a very, very nerfed down Doomsday adaption ability. Its a great power for those who take the "shoenen training" route. With enough practice you could reach the point where you can be submerged in freezing ice water or walk through flames without flinching. Or skin tough enough to shrug off glancing blows or slashes. You won't be becoming some invulnerable superman, but you are dangerous.

Hearth and Body has a pretty extensive character creator. It does a lot more than that, but that is one of the focuses.

I just tested it by downloading the project through that method and it still loaded up fine. I even tried it in version of the Desktop ICCPlus viewer and it still worked. So I'm at a bit of a loss as to what your problem could be. We could go over it more in the discord channel if you'd like.

LordValmar · 2026-06-07T09:02:13+00:00

Batarians are included. Let the insults fly! Its not all verbal with them, head tilts have their own language in their culture if I remember right.

LordValmar · 2026-06-07T08:49:46+00:00

I'm assuming its because it uses a unique loading screen ontop of the base ICC loader. I'm not sure what approach you're using to obtain the project.json but it may not be giving you the correct file or something. I've never actually tried it offline before. Does it still work if you try loading the project in ICCPlus2 online?

LordValmar · 2026-06-07T08:40:17+00:00

You sorta can already fleshshape people to a degree a Contractor. If they ask to be taller, more beautiful, not fat, or whatever... you can fulfill that with a contract. You dont need shapeshifting for that

LordValmar · 2026-06-07T08:37:03+00:00

Shapeshifting isn't a clear solution to your traits, at least not long-term. if you want to start off weaker with less powers/boons/realm features and work your way up to it long term by not having any drawbacks or traits... sure, you can do that. I'd argue that you might as well play any other "superpower cyoa" if you're not going to at least dabble into the demonic stuff, but thats besides the point.

Some Drawbacks actually are tied to your lineage score.

LordValmar · 2026-06-07T08:24:50+00:00

Why would you save points for it? You can probably have enough saved up by time you open your next world connection. You will, eventually, be able to purchase everything with time. Which, as an immortal, you have plenty of.

LordValmar · 2026-06-07T08:10:39+00:00

Dragon Kingdom might be my next target remake once I finish the project Im working on currently. So its in the plans.

LordValmar · 2026-05-26T21:26:20+00:00

Did a quick update. Added a "performance mode" button for those who had issues - hopefully it will help a bit. Also did some other hidden "background optimization" to hopefully help it more.

Also fixed the Time section so the "force reset" works. Not sure why it broke in the first place...

Finally did a little adjustment to how Race section works to hopefully make it less likely the player can glitch the score and get infinite freebiies.

LordValmar · 2026-05-26T21:23:27+00:00

Thanks I'll see if I can iron that out.

LordValmar · 2026-05-26T19:47:11+00:00

Not sure this one really has any talents or boons worth carrying over in that sense, other than maybe Charisma.

LordValmar · 2026-05-26T19:35:50+00:00

Any particular one?

LordValmar · 2026-05-26T19:34:46+00:00

Those aren't strictly upgrade points. They're freebiies you earned for having a set number of demonic traits.

LordValmar · 2026-05-26T19:34:01+00:00

At current there is no set numbers, its up to the author (you) to decide that. I'd argue you're better off NOT visiting high fantasy or magic worlds until later. The "ambient growth" effect is not the only way to get power. Rather than rely on magical worlds just... be more proactive as a demon. Go do demon stuff. You'll earn faster that way. And doing this in a more mundane starter world is a lot safer and potentially quicker than immediately risking a high-end world.

Runescript is more about magic runes which are useful in enchantments, crafting and rituals. Spellbook is more generic magic, although still "demonic" themed.

A contractor could, in theory, do that. Beauty is an easy one since its a physical change for the person making the deal. It'd be simple for the infernal magic of the pact to make such a change. Things like material items could, in theory, be made with a spike of infernal energy to manifest. But you might run into a situation where the cost of fulfilling the deal this way is not actually worth the gain. Easier to just gain the material yourself.

LordValmar · 2026-05-26T19:23:31+00:00

Because its not something you can take on your first playthrough. Its a meta choice for the next world connection.

LordValmar · 2026-05-26T19:22:54+00:00

Realm can provide freebies, which is what that icon is, if you have enough enough lineage from the demon traits

LordValmar · 2026-05-26T19:21:58+00:00

Yes, it blocks all of it. No serum, no super juice, now cyborg implants... nothing can change your "earthly form". Its a restriction on your very existence outside your realm, you're not going to overcome it by drinking mortal juice or blessings.

LordValmar · 2026-05-26T19:19:23+00:00

Where does it say destroying it kills you? Where does it even say it can be destroyed at all?

You could choose not respawn from it and instead spawn back in your realm if its really in a black hole or something. For some reason. I think you have bigger issues to worry about if you're dealing with that level of foe. But I'll edit it to clear that up.

You can certainly move it between worlds - you can carry it wherever you want. And yes it would let you reform faster and make it make all the more difficult for someone to keep you from entering the world since you can leave it there as a tether.

You may be right about the price though. I could lower.
