RULES FOR this work's NARRATIVE MANIPULATION.
Now, oh boy, I know some of y'all won't like this but here goes.
I can make it go two ways. Complete Reality Manipulator from scratch, but there won't be much story to write about.
The other one is this which I felt is more suitable for this fic. His abilities have set rules and it can be omnipotent depending on the situation.
I'll be nerfing him for logical and Illogical sake.
First,
- Anyone unimportant to a story (or world) can be completely manipulated on an omnipotent level.
- However, it must not affect the main world storyline directly; otherwise, his powers and Fate will clash, potentially resulting in World-Ending scenarios.
Now... What are world-ending scenarios?
- Azathoth and his eldritch gods suddenly descend.
- A supernatural apocalypse suddenly descends.
- Humanity goes extinct.
- Calamity archetypes descend. Four Horsemen and four calamity types.
Second,
- The Narrative Manipulator can still interfere with the main story. But they must first diminish the main characters' influence on the world before full access to world manipulation.
- The above must be done until the main character can no longer influence the world.
- However, the world wouldn't sit down and watch this happen. "Fate" and it's subsequent lines are the enemies of the Narrative Manipulator.
Third,
- The Narrative Manipulator can manipulate their narrative. That is, they can greatly alter themselves, not to extreme limits, but to the upper limits of the world.
- If the strongest being is only planetary, the Narrative Manipulator cannot make themselves universal. Their power is dependent on the world they inhabit.
- If they want to manipulate their narratives to give themselves power, they cannot simply write, "oh, I'm the strongest". The world would simply not allow it. It must follow set procedures.
Unless the world progress has been halted, changed or destroyed, they are only limited to a certain amount of power they can give themselves.
- and lastly, Free but limited access to manipulating logic (which can break the above rules, but kindly expect the world to fight back).
That is, they can make the impossible possible, but they are limited in how much of the impossible they can make possible.
