Author's Chapter Notes:

Starting off with some exposition about how this world works, and a young woman playing with it


 

In the far distant future, long after mind uploading had become commonplace, the world server had no shortage of people. With a “real” population of 2 billion, and a virtual population of 100 billion, people had began to use those digital lives for entertainment. Out of the hundreds of small virtual planetoids, with access strictly regulated to protect the souls of those within, there was a special one that, every 24 hours, someone in the real world would be given access to. Able to be like god, and do almost everything they wish; broadcast as an 18+ stream that anyone in the real world can tune into for entertainment.

 

This was opt in of course. With those who decide to endure the chaos of the public planet for 120 years, permanently being granted special abilities like being able to fly, and adjust their appearance at will, starting the second they decide to go there. These abilities could of course, could be temporarily removed by whoever ‘god’ currently is for that day, along with pretty much everything else. With everything being restored at the end of every day, and traumatic memories of the events that unfolded being dampened by the simulation, people had little to lose by doing so, other than enduring a century of chaos

 

At midnight on August 29th, the sky blinked as usual. The inhabitants bracing themselves for the new day as the smiling face of a young woman fills the heavens. All the skyscrapers, settlements, and infrastructure that people had managed to construct amidst the daily chaos of the past millennium, being dwarfed as Aubrey, a 19 year old teenager, looks down at the planet on her phone’s screen. She had been lazily sitting in her bedroom, wearing a comfortable loose fitting basketball jersey and nothing else, when her phone lit up with the notification that she had won the draw

 

WOOOAH! I won!? No waaay :D”

 

Her voice washes over the world. Not uncomfortably loud, but emitting from everywhere. The 52 million inhabitants brace themselves as much as they can, but get thrown about chaotically as Aubrey’s finger taps the screen. Bringing the steady rotation of the planet to a sudden halt.

 

Boop!… this is sick! haha~”

 

People are thrown through walls, every above ground structure topples, and anything lighter than a freight train gets thrown for many miles. The orderly little planet appearing smeared to her from orbit thanks to her suddenly stopping it.

 

Oooops! Sorrryyyy, but I have to do this!~

 

She sarcastically says, with no consideration for what their experience may be as she starts spinning their world. Faster and faster, until it’s a spinning mass of brown on her screen. All of the vegetation, continents, and people being thrown from the surface, and orbiting in a rapidly forming ring around the planet which gets torn to pieces more and more with each spin. Being stripped nearly to its core, as Aubrey poses in front of her laptop’s camera. Holding her finger up to her phone screen, so that it looks like she’s balancing the world on her fingertip like a basketball. Taking a short recording, and posting it in a group chat so that her 6 friends can see it in the morning when they wake up.

 

But anyways…”

 

And with another tap of her finger, the world is restored to how it was when her day started. With even those who had lived on the planet for decades looking up at her in fear. As by far the worst gods were those who were careless just like she is

 

Can you guys hear me?.. Humm… how do I do that thoughts thing… ah! There we go~”

 

Aubrey turns to lay on her side, and rests her head on the pillow as she looks down at the world. With a mere tap of her finger, changing her voice from simply echoing across the planet as an all encompassing sound, to echoing through the thoughts of all who live on it. Making it hard for its inhabitants to focus on much of anything as her idle words get in the way of thinking

 

Testing testing!!! Hellooooo~”

 

Her young voice rings through their minds. Giggling as she spots one of the options that she had seen used so many times on the digital world, and puts it to use. Starting a forced survey where the honest answers are truthfully lifted from the memories of everyone:

 

‘Can you hear me?~ <3”

* Yes (100%)

* No (0%)

 

Cooooool! How about this, uhm….”

 

‘Do you think I’m cute?”

* Yes (81%)

* No (19%)

 

Wow. Like, that’s so rude! Everyone should think I’m cute! Stupid dummies~”

 

Aubrey easily selecting the millions of people who didn’t find her cute, and using them as guinea pigs to see what she’s capable of. Laughing as at first, she transforms them into plain white socks. Their souls being forced to experience what it feels like to be an inanimate object made of fabric. She then overwrites their non-essential memories, with a picture from her phone of her and her volleyball team. All of their upbringings and personality and precious moments being replaced with an image of 6 sweaty young women on a volleyball court (their old memories getting restored at the end of the day, along with everything else of course). And finally, she takes all those sock people, and randomly puts them on the feet of the remaining 81%. Unable to be taken off until she lets them.

 

Haha! That’ll teach them! This is like… so easy to use! Hey guyys~”

 

‘Should I take my shirt off?’

* Yes (91%)

* No (9%)

 

Hah! Bunch of pervs~ I don’t want the whole world out here to see my tits you know~”

 

‘Should I spin the world again?’

* Yes (2%)

* No (98%)

 

Humph! You don’t tell me what to do~”

 

Against everyone’s wishes, she then idly flicks the planet around on her screen. Crashing into the borders of the rectangle shaped quadrant of space, and getting smashed into a formless cloud of rubble in mere seconds, only to be restored instantly by her flicking the restore button

 

But like… I can’t believe I’m getting to see these controls for myself guys! There’s so much~

 

She says to the dazed planet. Rising from her bed with a cute yawn, and carrying her phone with her as she stops by the restroom. Plopping down on the toilet, and starting to piss with them still In hand. The sound of liquid hitting the side of the bowl echoing through everyone’s minds, as she flicks through the myriad of menus that are provided to play with the little world. The giant rectangle in space showing an intimidating visage of her looking down as she sits on the bowl

 

You knooow… it is awfully late! I wanna be awake so I can enjoy the rest of my day playing with you guys…”

 

She flushes the toilet. The sound of rushing water overwhelming their thoughts as they see her carrying them back to her room without washing her hands. The view out of the phone camera providing a window into her life as they see her unkept room with dirty clothes littering the floor, an old duffel bag sitting in the corner, and her laptop sitting there with a dumb video she was watching paused.

 

But I want to leave you guys with something! Today’s all about ME right?~”

 

She smirks, as she taps her finger again. Suddenly filling the air with music as she starts one of her playlists. Dooming the tiny world to a night of pop music and boy bands that softly play out of her phone’s speakers for her to fall asleep to. Her voice still penetrating their thoughts as she talks

 

Aw man, I love this song~”

 

She drowsily says, as she hits the volume button a couple of times. Just slightly louder for her, but magnitudes louder for them. Ripples forming in people’s water glasses everywhere as her music rhythmically shakes their entire planet

 

One more thing! You tiny losers should appreciate me while I sleep, so...~”

 

She types in 4 simple words to a dialog box. “I love Aubrey’s armpit”. Putting an overwhelming mask of love for her armpits over the minds of everyone. Still being ‘themselves’, but with a heartfelt love for her underarms eclipsing everything. Smiling at her handiwork, as she flicks off the phone screen, and places it on her nightstand. Dooming them to 8 hours of loud music and armpit love until she wakes up and says otherwise
