This is Charlie.
Isn't Charlie cute?
Charlie is from the source.
Charlie is good.
Charlie has a natural curiosity, they were born to be a traveler.
Charlie is here to experience.
They can't do much on their own - they need a body in order to experience things
Do you want to be a boy or a girl?
“Boy”
Boy, was he in over his head.
"Damn, this is hard.. experience hurts."
In just about an hour, Charlie meets another body, "Hello!" Charlie says to the other body, "Are you from the source too?"
Charlie is dead.
Charlie sits back on their chair, perplexed, and without hesitation returns to the world. Charlie is now a girl.
Charlie finds the man and says, "Hello! What happened?"
"Hey, you're cute, want to be my friend?", the man says
"Yeah! What is your name?" Charlie says.
"I'm satan, nice to meet you"
"Nice to meet you satan, why did you kill that man, satan?"
"Because I was bored"
"Oh"
"I have to go feed my cat ttyl"
Charlie goes on her way, she learns about swimming.
Charlie drowns.
Isn't Charlie cute?
Charlie is persistent, she loves living.
She gets bitten by snakes, contracts worms, gets ran over by a wild bull, mauled by a bear, but she never gives up.
She returns every time, and every time Charlie gains more experience and her soul grows bigger.
"With this experience, I can go further!" she proudly proclaims, looking at the sky.
One day, Charlie stumbles upon another body, "Hello! Are you going to kill me?" Charlie says.
"What? Why would I kill you?" The some-body replies.
"Isn't that what you're supposed to do here?"
The other body laughs, "Only if you want! But I don't avise it"
"Why?"
"Because it will cost you your soul"
"My soul?"
"Yes, you idiot, your soul. The thing you were before you chose a gender? The ball of light?"
Charlie is confused, she never even paid mind to that occurrence. "What is a soul?" she asks curiously, for it is her nature.
"A soul is a cumulation of all your experiences, it is the only thing you take from world to world. What kind of soul you are shaped into is dictated by the choices you make here. If you are too naughty, your soul becomes too weak to control its body and you become a no-body."
"Oh, that sounds really like a lot" Charlie says, a little stressed, as all she wants to do it get her first slingshot. "Thanks for the advice I guess, do you know how to make a slingshot?" she asks.
"Check the wiki you fucking n00b"
"Ok"
Charlie goes on her way and manages to build herself a little house, a farm, and befriends other bodies in the area.
"Friendship is fun!" she says.
She spends a long grueling summer and fall preparing her crops, catching fish, and finding curiosities to grow her body.
She looks at her settlement with glee, "I did this, I worked hard and I am ready for whatever comes, I am strong" Charlie announces to her friends.
She decides that night to rest longer to celebrate the coming winter where she wont have to work as hard.
The next day, Charlie finds her settlement trashed. All her fish tossed rotting on the floor, her barrels destroyed, her hides taken.
"Why?" Charlie asks, for it is in her nature.
And for the first time, a new feeling. Grief.
And so that night, for the first time, she grieves.
And the next day, for the first time, a new feeling. Vengeance.
Charlie tracks the scents, she spots her neighbors feasting joyously celebrating her hard work.
And at that moment, for the first time, a new feeling. Hatred.
"WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS? DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD I WORKED FOR ALL THAT FISH?? WHY DIDNT YOU JUST ASK?" she yells.
Their laugh increases - her hatred visibly fueling them. The no-bodies grow stronger with every tear.
Charlie stumbles back, helpless and sad, into her ruined camp when suddenly a flake of snow drops on her cheek. It is too late to go on.
She walks into a bear.
Charlie is dead.
Their laughs grow louder.
Charlie spends months at home processing what happened. Grief. Vengeance. Hatred. "I will not fail again, I will learn" they say.
They return and notice the ball of light that was once big and strong has become a little smaller. "It is no problem, just a setback"
Charlie is born again, this time seeking retribution.
She remembers where they live.
She is smart this time.
She is full of experience.
Charlie befriends other bodies.
She learns how to use enslave no-bodies to speed up her progress.
She grows strong.
One cold night
Charlie slaughters the no-bodies who laughed at her.
She, for the very first time, tastes blood.
Her heart is racing.
She destroys their base.
Wrangles their chickens.
Slaughers their cattle.
Tears the no-bodie's skulls from their corpses.
Charlie consumes Vengeance.
"We are heroes" Charlie and her companions proclaim.
"This feels good", she goes on, "in fact, if this feels so good, why stop here?"
Charlie and her friends set off to conquer the world, pillaging villages, doing what was once done to her. Her hatred grows ever thirsty.
A voice says, "More".
Time goes by and Charlie’s behavior becomes more hateful and erratic; she begins to post toxic comments on the forum whenever the opportunity shows.
Her best disguise was humor.
Her companions were being drained by the venom, they could no longer stand Charlie's behavior; they grew tired of her.
One cold night,
Her companions trap her in her home.
Charlie is dead.
“We are heroes”, they proclaimed.
"I can't trust anyone. They're all evil! I hate everyone!", Charlie raged.
"Yes, you can’t trust anyone, look at how lowly they are and how mighty you have become. Show them how great and funny you are in the forums, prove that they are beneath you. Remember to always think of a clever joke to dismantle them”, a voice says.
Charlie, more vigilant ever, returns swiftly to the world, not even noticing that their soul had faded from sight. What gender do you-
“Boy lolololol”
Overflowing with experience, her curiosity diminished. Charlie franticly clicked day and night, working hard to become a strong body.
“This is how I become a some-body”, said the no-body.
One day in his grind, he stumbles upon a some-body.
"Hello!" said the some-body to Charlie, "Are you from the source too?"
Charlie kills the some-body and flings them in a river.
Charlie continues about when a female some-body approaches.
"Hello!" the some-body says, "What happened?"
"Hey, you're cute, want to be my friend?" Charlie says.
"Yeah! What is your name?" the some-body says.
"I'm Char-Lie, nice to meet you"
"Nice to meet you Char-Lie, why did you kill that man, Char-Lie?"
"Because I was bored"
"Oh"
"I have to go feed my cat ttyl"
