# Deal's Worth Part 06 of 22 (1,855 words) 4. The 48 hours before the most recent biological death. This fixes the species-norm manner of seeing and hearing. Which Path Follows a Death • 'Good' outweighs 'bad': the person chooses Option 1, 2, or 3. • Neither outweighs the other: Option 1 applies automatically. • 'Bad' outweighs 'good': Physical Form 3 and an evil twin encounter. • Death while pregnant: Section 0026 applies instead. What the Options Do • Option 1 returns the person to Physical Form 1 in a fully healthy copy of their body, with their magical properties unchanged. • Option 2 does the same, but lets the person keep, replace, or discard magical properties, and, for those who have thought while moving for 149,022+ hours, choose their visible form. • Option 3 is not a return to life. It is the only way to become Physical Form 2, a realm of maintained health from which a resident may later request Options 1 or 2. The Forms • Physical Form 1: ordinary living existence. • Spirit/soul form: the state of every person while dead. • Physical Form 2: residents who chose Option 3. • Physical Form 3: those whose 'bad' outweighed their 'good', and their evil twins. • Physical Form 4: doppelgangers, whenever not in spirit/soul form. How a Wish-Granter Comes to Exist Option 3 → Physical Form 2 → Wish-Granter Duty Standby (only for those who have thought while moving for 149,022+ hours) → summoned → temporary Physical Form 1 wish-granter → back to Physical Form 2 after 264 hours or 3 granted wishes, whichever comes first. Because only Physical Form 2 residents can be on standby, every wish-granter is someone who chose Option 3. A summoned wish-granter appears in their living body, fully healthy, with the magical properties they had right before their most recent biological death plus 234,000 levels. Leaving Physical Form 3 • Way 1 (kill the evil twin) or Way 2 (win one of its games): the person chooses Option 1 or 2, defaulting to Option 1. • Way 3 (3,333,333 hours pass): Option 1 applies automatically, but all prior magical properties are replaced by up to 5 new, initially weak ones. • Way 4 (language barrier): Option 1 applies automatically after 44 minutes. After Ways 1 and 2, the regenerated body remains wounded from the encounter. Throughout Eric's One's-Still-Existing-After-Own-Death System, spirit/soul form is the only state that is not alive. Physical Forms 1, 2, 3, and 4 are all living forms, and all share the same biology. Whenever a person leaves spirit/soul form by becoming any physical form, that person is alive again, in and through that new form. Being alive again therefore does not always mean being back in Physical Form 1: • A Physical Form 2 resident is alive. • A person in Physical Form 3, facing an evil twin, is alive. • A wish-granter is alive, both whenever while summoned as Physical Form 1 and whenever while Physical Form 2. • A doppelganger is alive whenever it exists as Physical Form 4. Which physical form a person lives in next depends on the path their death leads to. Being alive in Physical Form 2 or 3 does not change which span is weighed for 'good' and 'bad': that remains the most recent Physical Form 1 life, except for a wish-granter who dies while serving. A person is dead only from the moment of death until they become a physical form again. For Option 3 and for Physical Form 3, that happens immediately. For Options 1 and 2, the person remains in spirit/soul form while choosing and while their body copy regenerates. While a person is dead, the only existence able to detect, hear, or communicate with them is their own doppelganger, which is itself in spirit/soul form for exactly as long as that person remains dead. No existence in any physical form can see, hear, touch, or communicate with the dead, and no wish can grant interaction with a spirit/soul. Anyone a person speaks with in Physical Form 1, 2, 3, or 4, including a wish-granter, a Physical Form 2 resident, or an evil twin, is someone who is alive.) “From now on, these permanent “universe laws/rules” override all that conflicts with such: 1. Conscious thinking existences never cease existing after biological death 2. A dead conscious thinking existence’s ‘good’ = all observable good observably/obviously done by that dead conscious thinking existence from the start of their most recent physical form 1 life until the soonest physical form 1 biological death after that start 3. A dead thinking existence’s ‘bad’ = all observable unjust/callous doings observably “done by that dead conscious thinking existence “obviously due to” unjust/callous intent/desire” from the start of their most recent physical form 1 life until the soonest physical form 1 biological death after that start 4. Mental “memories, thoughts, and imaginings” never count as a dead conscious thinking existence’s ‘good’ and/or ‘bad’ 5. “Super overriding all/overrides that conflict with such: “”Per conscious thinking existence, a conscious thinking existence” (except each cursed object) died/dies 3-4 milliseconds after their first controlling an “Eric's Universe”-native avatar, then instantly is “alive as a physical form 1 existence” again” when it comes to that particular death experience” 6. Per conscious thinking existence, a conscious thinking existence becomes/”transitions to spirit/soul form whenever “all of their biological sustenance processes" are inactive; without given options while as spirit/soul form, that conscious thinking existence instantly undergoes Option 2 in Eric’s One's-Still-Existing-After-Own-Death System 7. Any conscious thinking existence that/who has ever fallen asleep, dreamed, woken up, thought, perceived, felt emotions, and/or observed—once they’ve done any of these—permanently retains that ability across all forms they ever exist as except whenever ”magically “removed or modified” via ““what is able to be granted” “granted via ”a wish granted by a wish-granter”””” 8. Any conscious thinking existence that/who has ever seen and/or heard retains such “ability or abilities” permanently across all forms, but the manner of sensing remains locked to their species norm as it was 48 hours before their most recent biological death—except whenever ”magically “removed or modified” via ““what is able to be granted” “granted via ”a wish granted by a wish-granter”””” 9. When any existence becomes/”transitions to” an alternate form, they retain full memory function as it was immediately before such form change/transition—no memory loss occurs. 10. Physical Form 1 and spirit/soul form are able to occupy same space simultaneously 11. “Physical Forms 1, 2, 3, and 4” have identical audio/sound/biology operation”” “Section 0025: “From now on, these permanent “universe laws/rules” extra super override all that conflicts with such: “Any magical portal leading to whereabouts is an exception to the impossibility of magical spying. 'A magical wish effect is magically able to magically transmit visual and/or auditory information, including as a live transmission through electronic communication systems" but only “non-mental and external to the mind” and “only via ”what is granted via ”a wish granted by a wish-granter”” but such wish effect is not able to (still) be in effect 24.1 hours after granted”. 'Without exception, magic is able to make an existence's audible speech be perfectly clearly audibly pronounced and conveyed but such magical clarity is able to be obtained via only “'wish granted by wish-granter', 'a crystal's magical aura that has that magic and entails one's being able to be in radius-effect of that aura long enough to obtain that magic for oneself' and/or 'from magic acquired from “own first magic set during own first 80 seconds of one's own first ever existing as Physical Form 1”'”'. Whenever any conscious thinking existence dies (biological death or cessation of sustenance processes), they instantly become spirit/soul form until they (the deceased conscious thinking existence) are physically “non-dead as a physical form 1 existence” again. Only they and their spirit/soul form doppelganger can detect/observe each other and their surroundings. The doppelganger visibly appears as a color-inverted version of the deceased but differs in name, colors, voice, equipment, attire, familiarity, preferences, style, memory, movements, potential, “mental/mind activity”, stamina, desire, level, power, energy, intentions, aggression, competitiveness, determination, commitment, dedication, experience, feelings, thinking, emotions, behavior, and personality—it’s not mimicry/mirroring. The deceased conscious thinking existence appears uninjured, wearing intact attire from their last non-dead physical form 1 moment. The doppelganger is never an evil twin from Eric’s One's-Still-Existing-After-Own-Death System. While the deceased conscious thinking existence is dead, the doppelganger is automatically magically teleported to remain within half the deceased conscious thinking existence's full body-length distance) whenever the deceased conscious thinking existence is magically teleported. Both are spirit/soul form existences while deceased conscious thinking existence is dead and both are not able to feel non-abstract pain while deceased conscious thinking existence is dead. They communicate via automatically magically translated communication. While the deceased conscious thinking existence is dead, “only the deceased conscious thinking existence is able to detect/observe/hear the doppelganger—no other existence is able to detect/observe/hear the doppelganger, and only the doppelganger is able to detect/observe/hear the deceased conscious thinking existence—no other existence is able to detect/observe/hear the deceased conscious thinking existence”. Both the deceased conscious thinking existence and doppelganger are able to detect/observe/hear each other’s physical surroundings. They exclusively are able to detect/observe/hear each other and exclusively are able to “communicate to/with each other”. The doppelganger continuously accompanies the deceased conscious thinking existence for the entire duration the deceased conscious thinking existence remains dead. The deceased conscious thinking existence is able to move only as if in a vacuum of space, starting 7ft from where they died. While the deceased conscious thinking existence is dead, the doppelganger presents Eric’s One's-Still-Existing-After-Own-Death System “options 1, 2, and 3” within 30 minutes (defaulting to “”option 2 as being selected” in Eric’s One's-Still-Existing-After-Own-Death System” if no choice is made). To choose an option, the deceased conscious thinking existence must communicate their definite decision to the doppelganger within 30 minutes. Upon communicating this decision, the deceased conscious thinking existence immediately magically undergoes what that option entails. Whenever the doppelganger is not in spirit/soul form, the doppelganger is able to observe all observable physical events happening/occurring in Eric’s universe and the doppelganger knows psychology principles but is never able to detect any other's “”mind/mental/brain activity”, “brains' neural networks”, and/or “any “feeling, emotion, desire, and/or intention” of those others”. “Whenever the deceased conscious thinking existence becomes spirit/soul form, the doppelganger also becomes spirit/soul form until the deceased conscious thinking existence is a non-dead physical form 1 existence again. Whenever the deceased conscious thinking existence is a non-dead physical form 1 existence again, the doppelganger becomes a physical form 4 existence again and is teleported to a physical form 4 location/place. Except whenever spirit/soul form, doppelgangers exist as physical Form 4 existences—physical form 4 location/place has magic, planets, “”locations/places that have “magical portals that only connect to physical form 4 locations/places”, TV, video games, creative arts supplies, entertainment, and “creative resources”” where doppelgangers can interact””. No wish-granting objects exist at/in physical form 4. Per doppelganger, a doppelganger is magically auto-teleported to safety whenever they are in immediate danger and automatically magically respawn if they die. the term “doppelganger” is simply only “a nickname for their kind” whenever that term refers to them.”””
