Multiverse Stories (Multicross: DC, DXD, Marvel, ETC,)

Essence of the Involate Self

Drinking this essence confers you the blessing of inviolability of the body, mind, and soul:

You now no longer need to eat, drink, breathe, produce human waste, or sleep, and are immune to the harmful effects of radiation alongside extreme environments ranging from the bottom of the ocean to the vacuum of space.

Total immunity to all forms of poison, sickness, or disease, mundane or otherwise. Any existing ailments of physical, mental, or spiritual nature that plagues you will be completely cured upon drinking this essence.

You are biologically immortal and utterly tireless, possessing unlimited stamina - you will be be aged/reverted to your physical prime, but no longer age further.

Infinite willpower to keep going through any amount of hardship; even bloody and broken you will not stop, and you will forevermore be protected from the effects of despair, boredom, ennui, etc., that will make living forever a pain in the ass.

Your freedom is also inviolate, protecting you from being imprisoned, incapacitated, trapped, bound, sealed, etc. against your will, automatically freeing you from such situations and teleporting you to the nearest safe location.

You are completely immune to any attempt to forcefully change, control, or manipulate your body, mind, and soul against your will in any fashion no matter what method is attempted or used. Those that use supernaturally boosted persuasion are equally stymied, being forced to rely on simple mundane arguments against you as anything beyond that flatly fails to work. You are also immune to memetic effects or the maddening effects of eldritch beings or phenomena.

Your soul cannot be targeted as a vector of attack - the only thing you are still vulnerable to will be actual physical violence, if such things can cause damage to you.

No Oracles or any other form of precognition can account for you, ever. Any predictions that are made will be made without taking you in account, and if seeking you out directly, all they get is static. In addition, you are not bound by fate anymore; your destiny is only what you make of it. This extends to the point that people and events that are deemed unstoppable or even unkillable, just because they are destined to, can be killed by you permanently.

You are also immune to reality warping shenanigans, such as being caught in time paradoxes, time stops, not existing due to someone killing your mother when she's pregnant with you, etc. - your very existence is inviolate.

Note: You can still be injured or killed through direct physical damage, if such things are capable of damaging you; all this Essence does is preventing your body, mind, and soul from being affected by other forces without your consent.

Essence of the Generic Isekai Protag

by cliffc999 (Gives him forge access)

This pastel-colored Essence seems to be very familiar as if you've seen it somewhere before. Also, for some reason, it smells faintly like truck exhaust.

Whether you dropped in, reincarnated into a "local", were summoned, or whatever else, you will still have a young, healthy, and athletic body that is highly resistant to common diseases with an appearance that is somehow just how you've always wanted to look, within the genetic limitations of your race. You may be any common race, not just human.

You will be able to maintain your mental focus and think clearly even despite potential stressors such as being stranded in an entirely new world, being forever separated from all your friends and loved ones, being forced to fight for your life, or being responsible for saving the world. This will also help you quickly learn and adapt to your new life, allowing you to master new skills, abilities, customs, etc., as easily as a very young child would pick up language skills.

Regardless of your appearance, you will possess a blandly inoffensive charm and generic appeal that's so broad that it seems like people just can't help but like you. Unless they are explicitly your enemy, bear a significant grudge against your race/faction/etc., or are just the type to hate everybody, anyone you meet will have an initial favorable disposition to you and will likely be open to a lasting friendship if you put in the effort. Even some of the latter types might be brought over to liking you depending on time and circumstances.

Even without your putting any effort into it you are still prime waifu bait. If you wish you can easily attract one or multiple romantic partners that you find attractive and be able to keep them all satisfied and at least tolerant of each other with relative ease. You will also have perfect fertility control and other minor, related buffs.

As an outsider, things that everybody else has been overlooking all along just seem that obvious to you. You can think outside the box, you can readily spot flaws or oversights in local cultures, strategies, tactics, etc., and you can point these flaws out to other people and unless they were already set against you they'll probably listen.

You will, of course, be granted the plot armor that is due you as the protagonist. Things will generally go your way and opportunities tend to fall into your lap as you need them. Unless you deliberately seek them out, your life will follow a progressive escalation structure where you will not encounter challenges or foes until you have 'levelled up' enough that you have a feasible chance to win against them. And even if you are defeated then nothing short of deliberate self-sacrifice or suicidal idiocy will actually get you killed as opposed to just beaten.

Finally, you will get a singular cheat ability of your choice as an apology gift for your sudden case of isekai. Whether that be some type of Dark Wolf Shiro-worthy Gamer system, instinctive mastery of magic plus unlimited mana, half the stats of the most powerful creature in the world, being a super powerful race such as Kryptonian, Primarch, etc., Spiral power, or whatever else, you will receive a thematic power (or narrow powerset) that makes you the most important person in the story. You may not take anything that would start you as a peer of the ROB who sent you here.
