• A Dystopian/ Utopian Choose Your own Adventure
  Story by Thomas Baldwin

2

• You awake in a cold green liquid. Your head comes
  out of the vile liquid and you gasp for air. You
  are in a room that is ridden with destruction.
  Blood is caked on the walls, broken glass covers
  the floor, and a scientist lays dead on the
  floor. You see a corridor at the end of the room.
  You can go right or left. The sign on the right
  says, Enter for absolute power. The one on the
  left says, Enter for absolute virtue. which way
  do you go?
• Virtue Power

3

• You choose virtue. You walk into a large rotunda
  with an enormous cog suspended from the ceiling.
  A face forms on the cog and it speaks to you in a
  low but welcoming voice. Welcome Hero, I am the
  Master Cog. This world is barren and the
  inhabitants live in fear of the Dark Slush. I am
  immobile, so I cannot defeat him, but you can.
  Right now, you can either rescue a group of
  prisoners from Dark Slush's prison, or lead an
  attack on one of his camps.
• Save the Prisoners Attack the Camp

4

• You chose power. You enter into a large room with
  a pit in the center. A strange black liquid
  froths about in the pit. You approach it, and it
  begins speaking to you. Welcome Hero, I am the
  Dark Slush. This world is desolate and useless. I
  wish to bring life back into it through any means
  necessary. I am immobile, so I can't do anything,
  but you can. You can either find me an ancient
  scripture, or destroy a nearby idol.
• Steal the Scriptures Destroy the Idol

5

• You go to the prison and find that Dark Slush's
  robotic sentries have rusted over, and are
  useless. Rescuing the prisoners is a walk in the
  park. However, on the way out, you see three
  robots on the ground struggling. They tell you,
  Help us Hero, we were beaten by the Dark Slush's
  minions and left here to die long ago. If you
  help us survive, we can help you in your quest to
  defeat Dark Slush.
• Recruit Robots Leave Robots

6

• You go into the enemy camp and find that you have
  strange powers. You have the ability to conjure
  lightning from your palms. Using this, you
  annihilate the camp, but you find one problem,
  you find that you are smitten with one of the
  camp's beautiful women.
• Burn everything!!! Spare the one woman

7

• You walk down a trail for a while until you come
  across a scroll buried in the ground. You dig it
  up, for this is the scripture that the Dark Slush
  wanted. Just then, a strange man appears in front
  of you. He explains that he is a hallucination
  brought to you by Dark Slush and says that he
  needs you to give him the scriptures.
• Kill him! Give him the scriptures

8

• You walk down a path for a while to find a clan
  of hedgehogs worshiping an idol with a diamond in
  it. You mimic a bear call, and the hedgehogs
  scurry off. Using your lightning conjuring
  abilities, you destroy the idol, leaving the
  diamond on the ground. You hear the Dark Slush's
  voice, Touch the diamond Hero, and we will bring
  life to this world...
• Okay No

9

• You pick up a nearby oil can and rejuvenate the
  robots. They give you a big hug. Thank you for
  saving us. Now, if you want to cripple Dark
  Slush, you shall follow this path. It will lead
  you to his main life source, and if it is
  destroyed, he will be forever silenced! Hurry
  Hero, this path is only open for so long!
• Go down the path Don't trust the robots

10

• You leave the robots behind. Good choice, they
  didn't seem trustworthy. Or did they? Well, it's
  too late now, the prison crumbles and the robots
  are taken down with it. Now, you see that these
  people are famished. You see that there are two
  restaurants. One serves burgers, the other serves
  poisonous explosive death urchins.
• Let's eat burgers Let's eat death urchins

11

• You won't fall for that temptress's appealing
  features. You destroy the whole camp and you
  don't look back. Congrats. What are you going to
  do next?
• I'd better return to the Master Cog
• I'm going to DisneyWorld!

12

• You just can't find the darkness in your heart to
  kill this beautiful woman. She thanks you and
  tells you that she was actually a prisoner in the
  camp. She shows her gratitude by offering you a
  bag of gold coins.
• Take the coins Reject the coins

13

• You use your lightning conjuring abilities to
  burn that man to a crisp. It turns out that that
  actually was Dark Slush, and he did not like you
  doing that. You hear his voice that says, I
  didn't like that very much. You'd better
  apologize or I'll make your life a living Hell!
• Apologize Go off on your own journey

14

• You hand over the scriptures. That guy wasn't
  lying, he was Dark Slush. You then hear Dark
  Slush's voice. Thank you Hero, these scriptures
  will unite us as one. I lost my body long ago,
  and I now require a vessel if I am to replenish
  this dirt hole of a world. Prepare for fusion.
• Embrace your master RUN!!!!!!!!!!

15

• You decide not to touch the diamond. You hear
  Dark Slush's voice urging you to reconsider. He
  overpowers you, and he forces you to touch the
  diamond. A hole in the earth opens and the world
  around you begins collapsing. You traitor! Dark
  Slush says. You dare try to resist me?! Well,
  now I am releasing the creature of the dark, and
  you can't stop me!
• Try to stop him Go get some doughnuts

16

• You touch the diamond and a hole opens in the
  earth. You hear Dark Slush's voice, Excellent
  work Hero, now we have released the beast of the
  dark. Fuse with it, and through me, you will
  create the perfect utopia from this hellhole of a
  world.
• Fuse with the beast Nah, Ive got a better
  idea

17

• Congratulations! The robots were telling the
  truth. The path leads you straight to Dark
  Slush's life source. It turns out to be a magical
  well, which you are able to destroy in a jiffy.
  You and the people rejoice and with the help of
  the Master Cog you repopulate the world with
  abundant life and beauty. Your story will go down
  into history for the rest of eternity. Try Again?

18

• The robots were telling the truth! The path
  closes and such an oppurtunity will never appear
  in your lifetime. Years later the path will open
  again and another leader will lead his forces
  down the path to destroy Dark Slush's life
  source. A new world is formed and that leader
  will be regarded as a timeless hero, but you will
  always remain unknown and unrecognized in the
  annals of history. Try Again?

19

• Your troops go over and order plenty of burgers.
  What you dont know is that the meat in these
  burgers is raw. You and your army is stricken
  with horrible tapeworms that kill all of you. Now
  all life is truly wiped out, and the Earth slowly
  decays over a span of centuries. Try Again?

20

• You and your army order all the death urchins. It
  turns out that when you roast death urchins, they
  lose their deadly poison. The urchins are
  delicious and you and your army has the strength
  to defeat Dark Slush and rebuild the Earth. Try
  Again?

21

• The Master Cog is so proud of your work that he
  erects a statue of you. But not just any statue
  of you this statue can breathe fire. Using this
  amazing statue, you are able to defeat Dark Slush
  and rebuild the world. Try Again?

22

• You go to DisneyWorld only to find that
  everything was destroyed years ago. You fall to
  your knees and cry out to the heavens. Then you
  see that you arent alone in this place. The
  people that were in the cartoon costumes have
  survived for centuries and are hungry for flesh.
  You are torn apart by the creatures, and they
  then wreak havoc on what little life remains on
  Earth. Try Again?

23

• You kindly turn down her generous offer and
  instead recruit her as part of your army against
  Dark Slush. She declines and instead jumps off a
  cliff. You stand there wondering why on Earth she
  did that. You are so confused that you actually
  die of confusion. Without you alive to defeat
  Dark Slush, the world slowly decays over a span
  of centuries. Try Again?

24

• You accept her gold and she joins you and your
  army. Unfortunately, the woman happened to be a
  gypsy. That gold she gave you was cursed. You and
  your army (under the leadership of the Master
  Cog) try to defeat Dark Slush many times, but
  consistently fail due to the cursed gold forever
  and ever for all eternity. Try Again?

25

• You decide to just walk away from the situation
  and go solo for a while. On your many journeys
  across the barren Earth, Dark Slush will always
  be in your head, taking over your body on
  occasion, and giving you nightmares until you
  die. Luckily, your death also cripples Dark Slush
  severely and in due time, Dark Slush will fade
  from existence, allowing the few people living on
  the Earth to be free from his evil. Try Again?

26

• You politely apologize to Dark Slush and he
  forgives you. In fact, your apology was so good
  that Dark Slush is moved to tears that somebody
  cares about him. The power of love actually
  causes him to fade away. With nothing left to do,
  you the Hero set off to explore the vast
  wasteland that was once the Earth. Try Again?

27

• You bolt out of there, but it is useless. Dark
  Slush manages to enter your mind. However, you
  are able to battle with him in your mind. You
  refuse to let dark Slush use you as a puppet, so
  for the rest of eternity, you and Dark Slush
  battle in your subconscious while the world
  around you decays. Try Again?

28

• Dark Slush enters into your body and everything
  goes black. You fool! Dark Slush takes over your
  body completely and uses it as a vessel to attack
  the defenseless populace. Sooner or later, you
  die and Dark Slush dies with you. With the world
  completely lifeless, it decays over a span of
  centuries. Try Again?

29

• You think wonder how you can stop the beast. You
  only have so much time, so you think fast and
  jump into the hole in the earth. You see the face
  of the beast as it comes at you. You summon up
  all your lightning to blind the beast. The
  abomination falls back into the hole and takes
  you with it. The battle was so epic that half of
  the world is destroyed. Try Again?

30

• You are sad to find out that there are no
  remaining doughnut shops on Earth. The beast is
  then released unto the world and in a mindless
  frenzy, it obliterates you along with half of the
  Earth. Try Again?

31

• No, you tell Dark Slush. I have a better
  idea. The beast is released and you use your
  lightning to blind it. Then you mount yourself on
  the beast and ride it all across the world. You
  go back to Dark Slush and kill him. Then you and
  the beast fly off into the sunset to wreak havoc
  on the world. Then you laugh maniacally. Try
  Again?

32

• The beast is released and you open your arms as
  it dives into your body. The power transfigures
  you into a disgusting blob-like creature. Dark
  Slush then enters into your brain and takes over
  your body. He uses you as a puppet to destroy the
  Earth and the universe. After its all done, the
  universe we once knew is a yawning void of
  nothingness. Try Again?
