Earth Aleph is closer to us, but still fictional to be fair. They still have capes for instance, they're just much smaller in number and usually far weaker than Earth Bet capes.

Lucas' justification for sacrificing Earth Aleph (that's us, yeah?) to get empowered...that we did shit all to help Earth Bet out...really have to wonder if there was/is effort being made, but it's like First World nations donating to Third World nations stricken with drought or a flood or a disease: corrupt officials or warlords stealing the aid for their own needs and leaving the dregs for their people to fight over.

Is the entity just straight up Kirby?

Now, what are the powers and the being?

So he's Maxwell Lord in Wonder Woman 1984? Or am I misunderstanding the powers? Not sure about this yet, but it is only the first chapter
Cambrian
Definitely going to be some signs of him losing his humanity~
Mr Useless 03
Will u make him a little bit Eldritch? Like mb after enough "deals" he become less human (pale skin , super Black eyes ) or just animals fearing him xD
Cambrian
Well, best of luck. Its been 13 years since I read Worm and I never bothered to read Ward, so dunno how much reading the source material will really help with reading TGC and this story lmfao I went AU with both so I could ignore canon and do whatever I wanted tbh

I'm going to read the Worm and Ward books before I read your TGC story and this story. Wish me luck.

Here's hoping that Lucas eventually making deals where he takes a character's powers in exchange if a favor. I don't think people like Dinah, Noelle or Marissa will complain about losing their power, if it gets ves them what they want in exchange. Considering none of those three like their powers. Maybe eventually trade Queen Administrator from Taylor in exchange of reviving Annette.

look good so far. I'm looking forward to more :) Also, fun power to have, depending on how you work the scaling. is it that he can make anything happen, depending on what is offered in return? so he would be sort of the middle man, and the power does everything?

I do enjoy dealmaker type stories, so looking forward to this!
