OWP-0015 - They Wrote This
/Protagonist
So where’s my book, if it wasn’t on the boss guy?
The Book
(The book sits firmly in Steve’s inventory, making no attempt to signal it’s location, for it is a book)
Protagonist
Oh, here it is, firmly in Steve’s inventory.
Protagonist
Oh hey, you said you had Digital Dummy or something? That mean you’re good with computers?
You
1. Digital Dignitary. It means I can’t read round clocks.
2. Digital Dignitary. Yes, it means I’m good with computers.
3. Digital Dignitary. It means I’m good with my fingers.
4. Digital Dignitary. It means I can do math but only less than ten.
Protagonist
F*ck yesss finally! What do you make of this?
The Book
(The Book soars through the air into your waiting arms, much like a book thrown would, as it is a book)
Esecutore
You, of course, open the book to a page marked with a Stickied Note.
The Book
Chapter 6: Example Project: Katachi Yaiba
Introduction
Now that you’ve learned the basics of how modding works, it’s time to put what you’ve learned together and create an actual useful item for the game: Katachi Yaiba. The Reality Blade.
Begin by creating a new project…
Esecutore
You are shocked by what you are reading- you turn to the page with the book’s title, and a card falls out.
Protagonist
I don’t know if you know who the Eternals were. A race of super-beings from beyond our existence. They wrote this book as a way to, I don’t know, teach other Eternals how to make changes to our existence. The example given is how to make a new Eternal Weapon. I need that weapon. If you can figure this out I’ll be.. not grateful, because that would mean I owe you something and f*ck that, but happier?
Eternal Programming Manual
.. the next thing you will need to do is paste these six code excerpts into your new project …
Protagonist
Does it say what you need to do to make it? Translate it into like, actual actionable instructions? I’ve been looking for someone to be able to read this.

Esecutore
Although written from a higher perspective than you can comprehend, the instructions clearly refer to things that exist inside the world: a mysterious reality-bending material known as Code Excerpts, and a great temple to the Eternals underneath the ruins of Kildracks.
You
1. Yes, it says that you need to find Six Code Excerpts and take them deep under the ruins of Kildracks, and I’m telling you this because I trust that your hands is a safe place for such a weapon for some reason.
2. Yes, it says that you need to find Six Code Excerpts and take them deep under the ruins of Kildracks, and I’m telling you this because it’s the polite thing to do.
3. Yes, it says that you need to find Six Code Excerpts and take them deep under the ruins of Kildracks, and I have no idea why I should be telling you this.
4. Yes, it says that you need to find Six Code Excerpts and take them deep under the ruins of Kildracks, and I’m telling you this because if I don’t this story isn’t going anywhere.
Protagonist
Of course you trust me, I’m the Protagonist.
You
1. I’ve been meaning to ask you about that. See, the thing is..
2. So is this some sort of Watson-Holmes situation or what?
3. [Stay Silent]
4. [Lie 100%] Yup that’s probably it, I have nothing else to say on the matter.
