Essence ofEasy Mode

By cliffc999 By drinking this Essence. your life becomes better all-around and free of real difficulty.

• You are now and forever living in Easy Mode, and doing virtually anything becomes just that easy for you. Even a trivial effort still returns good results, and actually getting serious would yield massive, ideal gains with little or no negative side effects.

• This applies to basically anything you could possibly learn, perceive, or do. Memorizing things is easy and your recall is truly perfect with no downsides. Learning new things will take you virtually no time at all to start outdoing veteran grandmasters in their own fields of endeavor. Million-to-one shots will be nailed in the bulls-eye, first time every time. Quickly figuring things out and making good plans is effortless so long as you have even remotely close to enough intel. Research projects will complete as fast as you can run the tests and collect the data, and you'll waste virtually no time chasing blind alleys. Becoming cinematically ripped and tough or having action-hero level recovery from injuries is trivially easy. Staying healthy and keeping your edge takes no effort at all. Talking to people is easy, and persuading or manipulating them is as easy as circumstances would possibly allow. You are immune to bad luck, and benefit from good luck in many subtle, almost invisible ways.

• Your instincts also operate in Easy Mode. Even when you don't have enough data to base a conclusion on, you'll still be able to live a good life and find a route to your goals just by relying on your gut feelings and intelligently reacting to what comes. This ability can both rival and allow you to counter even the most potent precognition.

• You have only one limitation, and that is possibility. While you can easily shred plausibility if you want to, you cannot outright break reality (at least, not just with this Essence alone). Hitting a bullseye shooting over your shoulder is merely very unlikely for a normal person, so you could still do it easily. But hitting a bullseye 5 km away with a mundane pistol is just not happening because the weapon can't ballistically reach that far for anyone no matter how awesomely they aim it. Likewise, defeating a giant in single combat could be easily accomplished by targeting his weak points while dodging his strikes, or similar methods, but wrestling the giant down by sheer strength or withstanding his blows without flinching would be less possible unless you were already physically boosted in some way.

• Because your life is now in Easy Mode, the fun will never be ruined for you. Your effortless accomplishment will never ruin your ability to enjoy things, death will never end your journey against your will, and in general you will be entirely immune to Bad Ends and self-destruction spirals of any kind. You won't be turned into a mindless pleasure-bot, you'll still have things you can enjoy more and enjoy less, but your general effortlessness at life will always be a genuine blessing and not a trap.

• At the time you first drink this Essence you will be cured of any and all physical ailments, psychological trauma, and other unwanted mental conditions, ailments, disabilities, etc. You will also receive a one-time appearance upgrade based on your wishes and idealized self-image, with the exact details of your build and "endowments" being up to you.

• As a special bonus, you receive full control over your fertility and other related buffs.

• This Essence immediately becomes part of your most inherent and innate nature upon first consuming it, and from that point on its benefits will permanently and irrevocably be with you at all times. Nothing can ever remove or dampen your Easy Mode in any way; curses, magic, Clarketech, even the will of ROB or equivalent beings, nothing.
