I Do Not Want To Do This	comment	The second Web Serial Novel by The Tales of Paul Twister creator Anthony Peers, I Do Not Want To Do This is the story of a new college graduate who just landed his dream job, starting out at the new office in a new town and trying to get used to the work and the culture there... except that it's a magical, game-inspired world, with casual references to Final Fantasy, PokÃ©mon, and especially Dungeons & Dragons popping up everywhere.It's "the Sixth Age," a time in which a technology referred to as "Ã¦therics" has enabled their world to build a modern society. People drive mana-powered cars, browse the Ã¦thernet with rune tablets, and the old tales of heroes and quests are considered to be a relic of the past.Brad Webb just got a job at Dyralight, Inc, (where "the big guy" at the top is apparently a powerful dragon named Dyralist,) and he has no time for fanciful ancient tales of heroes and other such geekery. When coworkers ask him how he would respond to a hypothetical Call to Adventure, he says that the modern Age is so much better than the standard of living that went along with heroic times, and he would simply turn it down and leave the past in the past; he has modern concerns to deal with, like building a career.Of course, with the author of Paul Twister at the helm, you just know he's not going to get his wish on that point...

I Do Not Want To Do This / int_129074bf	type	Sliding Scale of Free Will vs. Fate
I Do Not Want To Do This / int_129074bf	comment	Sliding Scale of Free Will vs. Fate: Gareth denies that the two concepts are in conflict, claiming that the choices a person makes with their own free will shape their character, which ends up determining what they will or will not do in certain situations, which is the essence of fate. He says that the only difference between "free will" and "destiny" is the passage of time.

I Do Not Want To Do This / int_1e7c47ab	comment	Stealth Pun: The local MeÃ¾asite congregation is led by a very old-school preacher who speaks out forcefully against the Evil ways of the world. Members of the congregation seem entirely unfazed at manifestations of divine power among them that outsiders might find creepy. And it sponsors congregation members to serve abroad as Paladins, whose key stat in D&D is traditionally Charisma. Though the term is never used, it seems Brad has stumbled upon a charismatic church.

College grads tend to be level 3 or 4, with 5 considered to be a great achievement attained by a lifetime of training. One of the most powerful men in the world is "believed to be" level 9, and Brad considers ancient tales of heroes regularly hitting double-digits and even epic levels to be exaggerated myths that are probably based around some grain of historical truth somewhere.

Joanna is not particularly beautiful, but is cursed with a succubus aura that makes any man who gets too close to her think she's the hottest thing ever and start desiring her. Worse still, it works on her as well, attracting her indiscriminately to any and every guy around. This leaves her shy and withdrawn, unable to get close to anyone she might build a relationship with for fear of losing control.

I Do Not Want To Do This / int_8e20979	comment	Wham Episode: In "Escapee," Brad meets an angelic warrior trying to clear a dungeon, betrays and kills the angel to keep him from thoughtlessly destroying his home with an earthquake, then meets a man who the angel was presumably trying to rescue, who's been trapped in the dungeon for a very long time. He recognizes this man as the god MeÃ¾as, but the prisoner has never heard of MeÃ¾as and claims to be a general from a war that may or may not have been the Chaos War of the distant past, except the story he tells of the war is very different from the one Brad's familiar with. In "Missing Person," Gareth, who is unaware that MeÃ¾as exists, pronounces MeÃ¾as's blessing upon Brad, then seems unaware that he has done so immediately afterwards. Later that day, Felicity tells Brad she doesn't think he's still only level 3 anymore. Unable to meet societal demands he was not aware of, Gareth vanishes into the town without a trace, leaving Brad and Felicity unable to find him again. In "Throne Resolved," the Transformationists' plot to force a tied vote comes to fruition, leading to a full-on magical battle erupting in the Council of High Lords, which just barely gets started before the fighting destroys the camera providing the video feed, leaving the rest of the outcome unknown.

I Do Not Want To Do This / int_9c6ba43a	comment	Values Dissonance: invoked In-universe example in "Philosophical Perspectives," where Brad discusses the modern belief that tolerance of other Alignments is crucially important to modern society, while Gareth, who is not from the Sixth Age, expresses incredulity at the idea that anyone could possibly think it's a good idea to show tolerance to Evil. Turns out that a lot of the trouble stems from the fact that they have differing definitions of Good and Evil, which Gareth attributes to Evil having somehow secretly taken over the Empire and used its influence to mess with the definitions people use. Brad disagrees, claiming it is simply due to an evolving understanding as Social Science Marches On.

I Do Not Want To Do This / int_9d9a875f	comment	Character Alignment: invoked One of several traits that Dyralight does not discriminate in hiring on the basis of. Brad apparently is a member of a Good church, but doesn't attend particularly often because at college that was a good way to draw ridicule and negative attention. The Transformationists are said to be a Chaotic political faction/party, minor but theoretically large enough to act as kingmakers. Brad's ex, Vivian, was Evil, and neither of them seemed to have had a problem with dating each other in these modern, tolerant times. Much of the chapter "Philosophical Perspectives" is dedicated to a debate between Brad and a man from an earlier Age about whether or not Evil (and to a lesser degree, Chaos) should be considered a legitimate part of civilized society.

I Do Not Want To Do This / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
I Do Not Want To Do This / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: As expected from Anthony Peers, the story's full of them. In ancient tales, summoners would call forth their creatures with the words "I choose you." The Dancers live on a distant island and have horns on their foreheads which grants them summoner powers. Sounds a lot like the Madain tribe. Casual conversation frequently uses "twenty" in many places where we would say "ten," because it's a D&D-inspired world. Several points appear to be inspired specifically by Critical Role, including the title. Rather than Sunday, the usual time for church worship services to be held is Thursday night, and references some of the series' more infamous lines, such as "life needs things to live" and "time is a weird soup," pop up in various places. The concept of Thaxil's Tower, a philosophical construct describing how some necessities are more fundamental than others and dealing with them enables people to work on higher, more aspirational goals, is strongly reminiscent of the real-world concept of Maslow's Hierarchy. The Transformationists' abuse of the rules of parliamentary procedure to force a tied vote right where it would do the most harm is strongly reminiscent of Hel's actions at the Godsmoot. Transformationists (a Chaotic political faction) hold to the belief that all that is necessary to break even the most Lawful of people is "one truly bad day." Sounds a lot like another agent of chaos.
