Marvel: CYOA

Jay had always thought his name was a joke. "Victory" in Sanskrit - his mother's hopeful choice for a son she believed would conquer the world. Instead, at twenty-five, Jay felt like he was drowning in the fluorescent-lit hell of Metropolitan General Hospital, working as a nurse practitioner in the emergency department.

It was 11:47 PM on a Tuesday, and Jay was mechanically updating patient charts, his mind elsewhere. Another sixteen-hour shift, another day of watching people at their worst moments while he felt dead inside. The attending physicians treated him like furniture, patients screamed at him for things beyond his control, and the hospital administration squeezed every ounce of productivity from his soul while paying him barely enough to service his student loans.

This wasn't the life he'd imagined. Hell, this wasn't living at all it was just existing, going through the motions of a life someone else had planned for him. His mother called every week, her voice bright with questions about when he'd find a nice girl, when he'd buy a house, when he'd give her grandchildren. The same script, the same expectations, the same suffocating path everyone assumed he'd follow.

Jay stared at the computer screen, cursor blinking in the notes field, and wondered what it would feel like to just... disappear. Not die, exactly, but vanish from this predetermined life and start over somewhere else, as someone else. Someone free to make their own choices.

The layout felt weirdly familiar. Like a half-remembered dream or a Reddit thread he'd read during a night shift. Those "what would you do if you could start over" posts that always made him scroll faster, pretending he wasn't mentally cataloging every escape fantasy.

The trauma alert shattered his daydream. Multi-vehicle accident on I-95, multiple casualties inbound. Jay sighed and pushed back from the computer. More broken bodies to catalog, more families to give devastating news to, more evidence that life was just a series of random tragedies punctuated by brief moments of false hope.

The first ambulance brought a screaming teenager with a compound fracture. Jay went through the motions - triage assessment, vitals, prep for the trauma team. His hands worked automatically while his mind wandered to a fantasy where he was somewhere tropical, no pager, no schedules, no one expecting anything from him except what he chose to give.

The second ambulance carried an elderly man in cardiac arrest. Jay watched the trauma team work for forty-seven minutes before calling it. Another family destroyed, another reminder of how fragile and meaningless everything really was. At least the old man was free now - free from pain, free from expectations, free from disappointing anyone ever again.

"Where's the third bus?" Dr. Martinez called out. "Dispatch said they were two minutes behind."

That's when they heard it - the screech of tires, followed by the sickening crash of metal meeting metal. Through the hospital's glass doors, Jay could see the intersection outside. An ambulance, lights flashing, had been T-boned by a drunk driver who'd blown through the red light.

For a moment, Jay just stood there. He was tired. Bone-deep, soul-crushingly tired of caring about things that didn't matter, of following protocols that served the hospital more than the patients, of being a cog in a machine that ground people up and spit them out. What was the point of running out there? More casualties, more paperwork, more of the same endless cycle.

But then he thought about the EMTs in that ambulance - people probably as trapped and miserable as he was, just trying to get through another shift. Maybe they had families waiting at home, maybe they still believed their work mattered. Maybe they deserved a chance to find their own freedom, even if he'd given up on finding his.

Besides, what did he have to lose? His crushing debt? His soul-killing job? His predetermined life that felt more like a prison sentence?

Jay ran toward the crash, and for the first time in months, he felt something like clarity. This was it - his moment to break free from the script, to do something that wasn't expected or required or part of someone else's plan for his life.

He was halfway across the intersection when the ambulance's oxygen tank exploded.

Jay's last thought wasn't about heroism or sacrifice - it was about how ironic it was that dying might be the freest he'd ever felt.

When consciousness returned, Jay found himself in what looked like the afterlife's customer service department. Everything was pristine white except for a single desk with two chairs, one occupied by someone who looked remarkably like a middle manager with infinite patience.

"Well, hello there!" the figure said cheerfully. "I'm XYZ - not my real name, obviously. My actual designation is about forty-seven syllables long and includes sounds that would make your vocal cords file a restraining order. ROB - that's my boss, the Random Omnipotent Being - suggested I pick something simple. I went with XYZ because I'm always the last stop before someone's next adventure begins."

Jay blinked slowly. "I'm dead."

"Very much so! Oxygen tank explosion. Quick and painless, if that helps. You were running to help the ambulance crew, by the way - they all survived if you are worried about them." XYZ shuffled through some paperwork. "Interesting case, yours. Most people in your situation focus on the heroic aspect. You seemed more focused on... escaping?"

Jay laughed, a sound devoid of humor. "Escaping, helping - what's the difference? Either way, I'm out of that life."

"Ah, but that's exactly why you're here!" XYZ's eyes lit up. "Your case caught ROB's attention because of that desire for freedom. A young man named 'victory' who felt utterly defeated by the constraints of his predetermined life, yet still chose to break free in his final moment. ROB was quite moved."

"Moved enough to do what?"

XYZ leaned forward conspiratorially. "To offer you something extraordinarily rare: a genuine second chance. Not just at life, but at living. True freedom to choose your own path, define your own destiny, become whoever you want to be."

Despite his cynicism, Jay felt a spark of interest. "What's the catch?"

"No catch, just choices. ROB is offering you entry into a new world through what he calls a CYOA system - Choose Your Own Adventure. Think of it as cosmic character creation, where every choice is yours to make." XYZ produced an advanced tablet from thin air. "This particular system was designed by someone called Valmar, and ROB was quite impressed with their work."

The tablet's screen displayed several world options, but one glowed brighter than the others: [MCU Plus - A world of unlimited potential, where power equals freedom and heroes forge their own destinies.]

"The Marvel universe?" Jay's eyebrows rose.

"Not just any version - one where all properties coexist. A world where someone with your intelligence and... creative interpretation of rules... could carve out their own kingdom of personal freedom." XYZ slid the tablet across. "Think about it, Jay. No student loans. No soul-crushing job. No predetermined path. Just you, unlimited potential, and the power to live exactly as you choose."

Jay picked up the device, feeling its weight.

"I could really do anything?"

"Within the bounds of your choices, absolutely. Want to be a hero? Your choice. Want to be something else entirely? Also, your choice. Want to build a personal paradise and tell the world to leave you alone? Completely your choice." XYZ's smile was knowing. "The only person who gets to decide how you live this new life is you."

Jay thought about his mother, probably still planning his life from what felt like trillions of miles away, still expecting him to follow the script she'd written in her head. The thought should have made him sad, but instead, he felt... relief. She'd never have to be disappointed by his choices again.

"Will I remember this life?"

"That depends on what you choose," XYZ said gently. "Some paths preserve memory; others offer different gifts. But the core of who you are - that desire for absolute freedom, that refusal to be trapped by others' expectations - that stays with you."

Jay looked at the categories on screen: INSERTION, DRAWBACKS, PERKS, POWERS. Each one represented a choice that would be entirely his own, with no one to please but himself.

"You know what the best part is?" XYZ added. "Whatever you choose, whatever you become, you'll never have to explain yourself to anyone ever again. True freedom means never having to justify your choices to people who don't understand them."

For the first time in years, Jay smiled - really smiled. "When do I start?"

XYZ leaned back with satisfaction. "Take your time. Eternity isn't going anywhere. And remember - this is your chance to finally live completely free. Make it count."

Jay pressed 'BEGIN' without hesitation.

The interface came alive with possibilities. At the top, a message appeared:

[Welcome to your new life, Jay. In this world, victory isn't about meeting expectations - it's about exceeding your own. Your choices will determine not just your power, but your freedom. Choose selfishly. Choose boldly. Choose for yourself.

The only person you need to satisfy is you.]

As Jay began scrolling through options with genuine excitement for the first time in years, XYZ leaned back with satisfaction. This one was going to be interesting. After all, the most dangerous kind of person was someone who had nothing left to lose and everything to gain.

The game and Jay's new life were about to begin.

Jay stared at the glowing tablet, feeling something he hadn't experienced in years - genuine excitement about making choices for his own future. The interface was sleek and intuitive, with categories that expanded smoothly as he touched them. At the top right corner, a counter displayed: [Points Available: 0]

"Zero points to start?" Jay asked, looking at XYZ with confusion.

"That's right," XYZ confirmed with a smile. "ROB believes in earning your power, not getting it handed to you. You'll need to make some tough choices to gain the points necessary for abilities and advantages."

Jay nodded, understanding the game now. He tapped on [INSERTION] to start building his new existence.

The category expanded to show two options:

[Drop-In (Gain: +2 Points)] - You'll be inserted into the world without any background, history, or family.

[Insert] - You will come into awareness in the world at your chosen age. You will have family, background, and history which will, where applicable, incorporate your chosen talents.

Jay didn't hesitate. Having a family meant having people who could be used against him, obligations he didn't choose, and expectations he'd have to meet. He'd spent his entire previous life being weighed down by other people's plans for him.

"Complete freedom," he said, selecting [Drop-In]. The counter updated: [Points Available: 2]

XYZ raised an eyebrow. "Interesting choice. Most people prefer to have some kind of support network."

"Support networks come with strings attached," Jay replied, scrolling down to the next section. "I've had enough of people thinking they know what's best for me."

Jay immediately tapped [POWERS] with a note saying he can only take one power. This was what he'd been waiting for - the abilities that would define his new existence.

The list that appeared made his heart race:

[Power Thief (Cost: 10 Points)] - You can drain the powers of those you make physical contact with. Brief contact will allow you to use a weaker version of their power and leave them exhausted. Should you drain them completely you will take their power from them and gain a copy for yourself. There is a limit to how many powers your body can hold, depending on the strain of the ability and your own capabilities, but any stored power can be passed to another. Others for whom you grant power can only hold two unique powers before their bodies start giving out from the strain.

[Babylon (Cost: 4 Points)] - Can create mid-air portals around yourself that can launch volleys of melee weapons of your envisioned shape and size. The amount of force and power instilled in these weapons scales depending on the user's own overall power. These weapons will fade away minutes after launch.

[Hyper Regeneration (Cost: 6 Points)] - Your healing factor is further amplified. You'll now recover from all but the most severe injuries in mere moments, and severed limbs will slowly regenerate in a matter of days. You are effectively immortal unless you are reduced to ash or less than an arm's worth of solid biomass.

[Omni-Kinesis (Cost: 15 Points)] - In a radius of 100 meters around you, with nothing but your will alone, you are capable of shaping the physical world. Moving objects, generating and manipulating all forms of energy or matter, or even creating constructs of everything the physical world has to offer.

[Timestop (Cost: 10 Points)] - Your power has the ability to suspend the subjective sense of time of anyone within 30 feet of you. Those under its effect are frozen in place for the duration of its activation.

[Kinetic Absorption (Cost: 7 Points)] - Your body can absorb up to 95% of kinetic force to stockpile for your own attacks. Your natural durability is not enhanced, but due to the nature of your power, most attackers will struggle to harm you.

[Vibration (Cost: 5 Points)] - You can control and generate vibrational forces on objects you make contact with or in condensed and focused directional waves.

[Gravity (Cost: 8 Points)] - You can control the gravity within a space of thirty feet around you up to twenty times or even nullify its effect.

[Avatar (Cost: 12 Points)] - You can not only bend all four of the elements, but you can also Energybend. With training, you can give and take away, bending to others.

He saw Babylon, the power to summon phantom weapons from thin air - a brawler's power, flashy but limited. He saw Hyper Regeneration, a near-immortality that promised survival. Survival was for the victims. He was done being a victim. He saw Omni-Kinesis, the raw, godlike ability to reshape reality in a hundred-meter bubble around him. The fifteen-point cost was staggering, but more than that, the limited range felt like a golden cage with him needing years of mastery to even begin to do the basic stuff people in Marvel do on a casual basis. He saw Avatar, the mastery of four elements, powerful and iconic, but still a defined, limited set.

His gaze passed over Kinetic Absorption, Gravity manipulation, and Timestop. All were incredible, game-changing abilities that could make a man a king. But Jay didn't want any of them cause of their control over a single concept with no scope of broadening their applications

Jay's eyes immediately locked onto [Power Thief]. His mind raced with possibilities. "It's like All For One from My Hero Academia," he whispered, "or Rogue from X-Men, but way better because I can actually control it."

The more he thought about it, the more perfect it seemed. Why limit himself to one ability when he could eventually collect dozens? In a world with Spider-Man, Storm, Iron Man, and countless other powered individuals, this was like having access to an unlimited arsenal.

"This is it," he said with certainty. "Why be stuck with one power when I can have them all?"

Without hesitation, Jay selected [Power Thief]. The counter immediately went red: [Points Available: -8]

"Bold choice," XYZ observed. "You've gone into debt for power. Very ambitious."

Jay grinned. "Some investments are worth going into debt for. This one's going to pay dividends.

Jay cracked his knuckles and dove into the [PERKS] section like a kid in a candy store. After twenty-five years of playing by other people's rules, the idea of customizing his own superpowers felt downright intoxicating. Sure, he was already -8 points in the hole from his drawback shopping spree, but honestly? That just made it more exciting.

"Alright, let's see what toys are on the shelf," he grinned, scrolling through the options.

[Power Protection (Cost: -2)] - Your powers can no longer be nullified, shut down, or otherwise kept from you.

[Mind Shield (Cost: -2)] - Your mind is now protected from all forms of mental attacks such as telepathy, mind control, or reading. You can choose to lower this protection should you so desire.

[DNA Lock (Cost: -2)] - Any DNA you leave behind, such as skin, hair, or blood samples, will now no longer be valid. Any trace of your DNA that leaves your body ceases to be useful for anyone meaning to study it. Great for avoiding cloning issues.

[Charisma (Cost: -2)] - You'll have an innate knack for making friends and swaying people to your side. Even your enemies are likely to gain some respect towards you.

[Power Training (Cost: -3)] - You now have a wealth of knowledge and experience associated with training and utilizing your powers and abilities. Even when you first awaken your powers, you'll be familiar with them as if you've been using them for years.

[Inventive (Cost: -2)] - You are creative and inventive when it comes to crafting various little tools and gadgets to aid your endeavors. You're especially good at working up last-minute solutions when encountering problems and obstacles.

[Presentation (Cost: -3)] - What truly makes a super stand out amongst their contemporaries isn't just about what power they have or how strong they are. Presentation plays a huge part for anyone who wants to truly be Super, to be larger than life and enthrall a crowd. The world itself will seemingly work in your favor just to aid in this, with cameras catching your best angles, light reflecting perfectly for dramatic flair.

[Adaptive Power (Cost: -5)] - Your powers are now more diverse in their usage. You can adapt your powers to work in unique methods beyond their initial scope, within thematic limits. Think laser vision that can curve trajectories instead of just shooting straight.

[Heightened Potential (Cost: -2)] - Your chosen powers have twice the potential strength. They won't start twice as powerful, but you have considerably more room to grow with training and effort.

[Fortune's Favor (Cost: -2)] - You are unnaturally lucky. While misfortune can still happen, you're more likely to get last-minute rescues or stumble upon valuable opportunities.

[Comic Nerd (Cost: -5)] - Something peculiar happened with your arrival. You hijacked someone else's reincarnation, some otaku who spent their life reading comics and watching anime. Their knowledge synchronized with yours briefly. While most of what they knew is useless trivia, they knew THIS world inside and out. You now have all the lore knowledge about the Marvel setting, even obscure stuff only hardcore fans would know.

Jay rubbed his hands together like he was about to crack the world's most entertaining safe. Being in debt just made this feel more like a real gamble - the kind where you either walk away a legend or crash spectacularly.

[Comic Nerd (Cost: -5)] - No hesitation. Jay slammed that button.

"This is like having cheat codes for this reality," he laughed. "I'll know who's gonna break bad, who's secretly a god, and what random junk in some SHIELD warehouse turns into a world-ender. Half the battle's just knowing what's coming."

'This isn't just useful, it's like having the strategy guide for the most dangerous game ever made.'

[Balance: -13 Points]

[Mind Shield (Cost: -2)] - Another instant pick.

"Emma Frost could turn me into her personal puppet." With a giddy laugh, he took it, feeling like he was hanging a giant "NO BOSSES ALLOWED" sign on his brain and declaring it officially under new management: his own.

[Balance: -15 Points]

[Power Protection (Cost: -2)] - Essential insurance policy.

"Government power dampeners, Sentinels, that Leech kid who shuts down mutant abilities, half their playbook is 'turn off the superhuman and arrest them.' If they can't switch me off, they can't stop me."

[Balance: -17 Points]

[DNA Lock (Cost: -2)] - Practical paranoia.

Jay took it instantly.

"I've read enough X-Men to know what happens when guys like Mister Sinister or the Jackal get a blood sample," he thought. "Next thing you know, you're fighting your evil twin in a sewer."

No clones. No unauthorized science experiments. His DNA dies with him, or stays with him.

[Balance: -19 Points]

[Adaptive Power (Cost: -5)] - The game-changer.

"This is what separates the pros from the amateurs," Jay said, his excitement building. "Most powered people think in straight lines. Fire powers? Throw fireballs. Super strength? Punch harder. This lets me get creative, turn any ability into a whole toolkit of applications."

The example about laser vision controlling trajectory got his imagination racing. Whatever powers he'll steal, they'd evolve with him, adapting to meet any challenge.

[Balance: -24 Points]

[Heightened Potential (Cost: -2)] - Future-proofing at its finest.

"Double growth potential means high ceiling. In a world where threats range from street thugs to Omega-level threats, unlimited scaling is basically mandatory."

[Balance: -26 Points]

Jay skimmed past the perks he wanted, ones that would've made things smoother, but this build wasn't about comfort.

Charisma (-2) Useful, but redundant. His powers and presence would already draw attention. Better to be respected for results, not supernatural charm.

Power Training (-3) Too expensive. With Adaptive Power and Heightened Potential already locked in, growth would come naturally. The struggle would teach him more than shortcuts anyway.

Inventive (-2) Tempting for sure. But with the powers he had in mind, he wouldn't need gadgets, he'd be the weapon. Let Tony Stark build toys.

Presentation (-3) He actually liked this idea; style mattered in the superhero game. But forcing it felt cheap.

Fortune's Favor (-2) Actually appealing, who wouldn't want better luck? But at -26 points already, every choice had to be mission-critical. Comic Nerd gave him foresight, which beat luck anyway. Better to see problems coming than hope to stumble out of them.

"Twenty-six points in the red," Jay announced with the satisfaction of someone who'd just placed the bet of a lifetime. "But look what I built - perfect information, bulletproof defenses, and growth potential."

XYZ looked like he was watching someone juggle chainsaws. "This is quite the deficit. You're betting everything on whatever drawbacks you pick next."

"Damn right I am," Jay grinned. " I need to be free, powerful, and unstoppable. Every perk I picked serves that goal."

He leaned back, feeling that familiar rush he used to get from video games when he'd min-max a character build to perfection. Now came the difficult part, choosing the debt that would make all this debt go away.

Jay stared at his current balance -26 points, and instead of feeling worried, he felt that familiar gaming rush.

"Time to balance the books," he grinned, opening the [DRAWBACKS] section. "Here's hoping I didn't bite off more than I can survive chewing."

[Heavy Eater (Gain: +3)] - Maybe it's a side-effect of your power or something else, but you have a larger appetite than most. You will need to consume at least thrice as much as normal to feel satiated.

[Govt. Attention (Gain: +2)] - A government agency has taken a keen interest in you. They are intent on capturing and studying your power, and are not above using underhanded tactics.

[Challengers (Gain: +4)] - After your debut, there will be more and more individuals coming out to challenge you with hopes of being the one to defeat you. Most won't be a match for you, but they'll be an annoying hindrance.

[Hunted (Gain: +4)] - After your debut, a hunter from beyond the stars will take notice of you. This alien has the skill, strength and technology to pose a threat. It will hunt you for sport in remote locations, but its honor won't allow it to cheat.

[Unmasked (Gain: +4)] - At some point after your debut, your true face and identity become exposed not just to government agencies but to the public at large.

[Rivalry (Gain: +6)] - You have a group of powered individuals that have teamed up specifically to defeat you. While individually they may not pose much threat, as a team they'll be a frequent headache.

[Blank Slate (Gain: +5)] - You forget everything you know about the world setting. You can remember general terms like it being about superheroes and villains, but beyond that, nothing(Incompatible with Comic book nerd perk).

[Inhuman (Gain: +3)] - Your power has left you with a distinctively inhuman appearance. You're unnatural and inhuman looking, not just human with makeup or horns.

[Arcane (Gain: +5)] - You're born without the ability to utilize magic. No amount of study or effort will change that.

[Not-Plot Armor (Gain: +2)] - It's difficult to control your urge to monologue when you have the upper hand. The longer you delay, the more likely good fortune shines on your target.

[Montage (Gain: +2)] - When you first arrive, you only have access to a quarter of your full potential. Within five years you'll gradually gain full power, but can speed this up with training.

[No Kill Rule (Gain: +2)] - You must not kill. Regardless of how dangerous someone is, you feel adamantly opposed to murder.

[Weakness (Gain: +2)] - You possess a natural innate weakness that either harms you or leaves you vulnerable. Has to be something feasible for others to exploit.

[Extremists (Gain: +2)] - After your debut, you'll be targeted by radical extremists. Not individually powerful, but their fanatical hatred can be troublesome.

[Clone Imposter (Gain: +2)] - Sometime after your debut, some mad scientist will create a clone of you with similar powers but less control. {Incompatible with DNA Lock}

Jay's Problem Shopping Spree

Jay cracked his knuckles and dove in like he was building the most challenging boss fight ever designed.

[Heavy Eater (+3)] - "This is basically a non-issue. I've always been able to put away food anyway. Plus, with the kind of powers I'm planning? I'll probably burn through calories like the Flash after a time-travel sprint."

[Current Balance: -23 Points]

[Unmasked (+4)] - Jay hesitated for a moment. "This one's... actually kind of scary. But honestly? Tony Stark had the right idea ' I am Iron Man' on live TV. No double life, no lying to people I care about. If I'm going to do this, I'm doing it completely."

He couldn't have freedom while hiding behind a mask anyway.

[Current Balance: -19 Points]

[Challengers (+4)] - "Every wannabe villain with new powers will come gunning for me," Jay muttered, reluctantly clicking it. "It's like painting a target on my back and announcing 'free shots.' But that also means I'll have more powers to steal and increase my arsenal."

The constant interruptions would be annoying, but the reward would be worth it.

[Current Balance: -15 Points]

[Hunted (+4)] - This one made Jay pause longer. "An alien hunter tracking me across the galaxy for sport? That's... just a Yautja who's decided I'm trophy-worthy." He took a breath. "Alright I can prepare for this…. I think."

[Current Balance: -11 Points]

[Rivalry (+6)] - Jay's enthusiasm dimmed slightly. "A dedicated team whose entire existence revolves around defeating me."

He clicked it reluctantly. He needed the points, and every legend needed worthy enemies.

[Current Balance: -5 Points]

[Arcane (+5)] - "This one hurts," Jay admitted. "Magic is an entire branch of power I'm permanently cutting myself off from. In a world where Doctor Strange can reshape reality with hand gestures, I'm voluntarily handicapping myself." He stared at the option. "But magic users answer to cosmic entities, follow ancient rules, get their power from borrowing dimensional energy. Cut off from magic, I'll be completely self-made - no mystical laws to navigate."

It was a steep price for independence, but he needed the points and the freedom.

[Current Balance: 0 Points]

Strategic Restraint

Jay looked at his current balanced at 0 points, and felt a deep satisfaction. He'd managed to build exactly what he wanted without going into debt.

"Zero points," he mused with satisfaction. "Perfect balance. I've got enough challenges to keep things interesting without being completely reckless."

XYZ was staring at him like he was watching someone juggle live grenades. "You just chose some of the most challenging drawbacks available, and you're... enjoying this?"

Jay leaned back, less triumphant now, more thoughtful.
"It's not like I want any of this. Constant challengers, a team of enemies, a damn alien hunter stalking me across the stars…" He exhaled slowly.
"But I can't afford to play small. If I'm going to survive, I need pressure, something to push me to steal better powers, adapt faster, stay sharp."
He glanced at the perk sheet. "Comic Nerd gives me the map. I'll know who to avoid, who to watch, and who to target when the time's right. If I prepare, really prepare, I can tailor what I steal to counter them."
He looked up, jaw set. "If they're coming anyway… I might as well turn them into milestones."

"And cutting yourself off from magic in a world where the Sorcerer Supreme exists?"

"Magic is dependency," Jay said firmly. "Strange gets his power from external sources, serves cosmic entities, and follows ancient rules. I'll be answerable to no one. While he's bound by mystical law and mystical politics, I'll be absolutely free."

XYZ shook his head in apparent disbelief. "In twenty thousand years of doing this job, I've never seen someone choose challenges specifically to be free. It's contradicting, actually."

"That's because most people are afraid of actually living," Jay replied. "I spent twenty-five years playing it safe and being miserable. Now I get to choose my problems, and I'm choosing ones that'll make me stronger, happy, and completely free."

The foundation was set, the challenges were locked in, and the books were perfectly balanced.
