Essence

Essence of Setting Insertion

● You may have a one-way trip to a story/universe/setting of your choice (including variations, fanfiction, doujin, captions, and the like). This may happen in any of the ways below.

○ Drop-In: You may be dropped into the setting as you are, at whatever time and place you want.

○ Character Insertion: You may insert yourself into a character from the story/setting at any point in their life, merging with and becoming (one with) them.

You gain all their memories, abilities, skills, emotional attachments/connections, etc. and can distinguish between your two sets of memories without any difficulty.

This is a seamless integration. You may instead enter the story/setting inserted (as per above) into a dead character from it (basically resurrecting them/yourself) or into a character from a different story/setting (in either case, you may choose at what time and place you appear in, but it must be after their death for resurrected characters).

○ Retroactive Insertion: You may choose to gain a history and memories in the chosen world (potentially merging with a local counterpart). You may have whatever background you like and feel makes sense for the setting (or let it be random).

○ Reincarnation: You may choose to reincarnate in the chosen world. You may have whatever background you like and feel makes sense for the setting (or let it be random). You may also decide what sex you will be (defaulting to your current one) and either to keep your memories/powers/etc. from the beginning or to have them sealed until a specific age or condition of your choosing.

○ Replacement: You may replace an existing character and take their place in the story. How this manifests is up to you (maybe you got isekaid/summoned instead of the chosen character, maybe you literally overwrite the chosen character with yourself, etc.).

● If you use Character Insertion, you may choose to simply have the chosen character's body with none of their personality or emotional attachments/connections instead of merging with them.

● You may combine the Reincarnation option with Character Insertion into a character native to the story/setting to make that character your reincarnation.

● You (and the character you inserted yourself into, if applicable) get a one-time restoration to full health, removing all injuries, illness, and other health problems you may have.

● Optionally, if you use the Drop-In or Retroactive Insertion options, you may gain a free change to your age.

● Optionally, if you insert yourself into a being that doesn't have a humanoid form, you gain one based on the original form. Any details are up to you.

● Optionally, you may choose to forget all meta-knowledge you may have about the chosen story/setting.

● If you use the Drop In option, you may optionally appear in the chosen setting transformed into a entity or lifeform from that setting, such as a Pokémon in Pokémon or a Red Dragon in Dungeons and Dragons.

Essence of the Self

Drinking this transforms you into your ideal self, as defined by your own wishes and desires, without feeling like you became too overpowered.

● At the time you consume this Essence you immediately win the genetic lottery, increasing all your stats, hereby defined as Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma, and Luck, to peak racial maximum, and will not deteriorate from that state whether through old age or disuse.

● Any physical and mental health problems or defects currently plaguing you will be removed, with any new instances of such prevented from occurring.

● Your diligence and willpower is boosted, making you more driven and motivated, as it purges excessive indolence and procrastination. That is to say while you still value relaxing and chilling out, you wouldn't put something off if it's important.

● You gain a retroactive perfect memory with instant recall, unlimited storage, tamper-proofing, perfect indexing, and protection from any form of harmful memory. For some reason, you are able to improve yourself thrice as fast.

● You become perfectly capable of using powers, abilities, techniques, etc. without any adverse effects. This ranges from not suffering from Taint-buildup as an Aberrant Nova, able to swim as a Devil Fruit user, or being immune to the Great Curse as a regular Exalt. This includes usage of mutually contradictory abilities, so you can also eat multiple Devil Fruits, or drink more than one Cauldron Vial, without dying or horribly mutating.

● You are completely immune to any attempt to forcefully change, control, or manipulate your very being against your will in any fashion no matter what method is attempted or used. This also includes supernatural persuasion, memetic or eldritch effects, and reality warping shenanigans. The only things that can negatively affect you are direct brute force and threats to those you care for. Take note. You. Are. Not. Invulnerable.

● Any powers and internal power supplies you possess cannot be drained, suppressed, weakened, stolen, copied, altered, controlled, or otherwise manipulated against your will.

● You will never end up worse off than when you started, as this Elixir will protect you from the negative aspects of your own subconsciousness.

Essence of the Harem Protagonist

● There is something about you that can attract anyone, even strange alien beings beyond the comprehension of mortals and gods alike. What it is that attracts these individuals will vary from person to person but there will always at least be something that will pique their interest. Their interest can easily blossom into fondness, a desire for friendship, or even genuine love if given some time to interact with you in some way whether it be in person or through hearing about you.

● Are quite a bit tougher, enough that you could survive the rather destructive results of typical harem shenanigans. You will never suffer crippling or lethal wounds from any of those in your harem.

● You will passively draw towards you individuals that have significant power, importance in their world plot wise or some other reason, grand destinies, and this such as that.

Toggleable.

● Granted infinite stamina and vitality, you are a quite able lover, able to please a mind boggling amount of people into bliss.

● Any individuals that become part of your harem will be more willing to put aside differences and grievances to work towards your happiness and their own if circumstances permit. The feelings and loyalty they have for you will remain eternally strong unless you do something terrible to change that.

● Fate, Destiny, and coincidence will bend, twist, warp, and maneuver to keep those in your harem yours. That doesn't mean they are bound to you forever if they honestly want to move on, just that things like individuals with mind control abilities, infernal lust powers, or a dirty monster tries to claim them these attempts at taking them will fail quite spectacularly. You can sense any who try to claim what is yours and who they are.
