The ambiance in my room was dim, illuminated solely by the radiant glow of my laptop screen. Logging into my Gmail account, I was taken aback by an unexpected email from an individual named Richard Oliver Brown. He inquired whether I would be interested in crafting a character through a Worm CYOA, complete with a point-randomized distributor that ranged from 10 to 1000. How intriguing.
Though my tenure on spacebattles and sufficient velocity had been relatively short, spanning only a few months, I was well-versed in the world Richard was inviting me into.
CYOA—an acronym for "Choose Your Own Adventure," could manifest in various forms, spanning from original creations to fanfiction narratives. Since stumbling upon this realm of storytelling, my fascination had grown, particularly with Wildbow"s Worm series.
As I delved into the CYOA Richard sent me, I cracked my neck and began the meticulous task of calculating numbers, weighing the pros and cons.

A sudden interruption from the interface jolted me. "HELLO, YOU STILL HAVE SOME POINTS LEFT. WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE OUR NEW ITEM SHOP?"
A new feature? Why not?

"IS THIS ALL? Y/N"
"Yes."
"VERY WELL THEN, THANK YOU FOR THE PURCHASE."
After perusing the final lines of text, I powered down my laptop and settled into bed. As my head sank into the pillows, my last conscious thought was, "I got pretty lucky with the points I won from the randomizer."
