by M.T. Foxtrot You are a rotting husk, overflowing with power. Make a 10-year plan, invest in the stock market, wake up early, CEO mindset. Quit your job, start your own business. Gamble at the casino, sell exotic animals, bet on sports, steal, increase wealth by all means necessary. Insider trade, order hits on competitors to plummet their stocks. Not there yet. Keep going, buy out other companies to increase wealth ten-fold. Feed the machine, grease the gears with blood, continue growing wealth. Rise the corporate ladder, hire underlings to do the dirty work for you. Sever your divine link, eradicate your hope. Get your first million, buy a house near heaven, have your landlord killed to steal his security deposits. The locals don’t accept you, a mouse of pain, a mouse of shame. Disregard them, keep growing your wallet. Turn the law into a tax to be paid to break. Hoard like a dragon, never distribute your assets. Remove the consequence of death to prevent someone taking your place, life at $500. You still aren’t at the top. Keep your CEO mindset. Go to war with your competitors, assimilate everything under you that you can. Advance military technology faster and faster, start an arms race. Schedule a procedure to ingrain DEATH into yourself. Obtain access to the Archon Grid, tear Abraxas from its holy throne and take its place. You’re nearly there, just a little more. Grasp the transactional flow in the palm of your hand, become the most powerful person in the world. Take the world, an onion, and begin peeling. N to the nth degree, teeth with teeth with teeth. Take a bite. Take the peels when you finish at the end of time, squeeze them until all the fluid drips down your arm, and reform the onion in your image. Re-establish the consequence of death, traverse the grid of life, start over at the beginning. This time you will do it faster. Repeat the process until eternity is over, then you will truly have the soul of an emperor, and achieve all your goals. Maximum Efficiency Soulby M.T. Foxtrot
