[Baldur's Gate 3] The Daily Life of Jergal's Chosen

*Short story, told in third person

My name is Evil Urge. I was reborn, on a mind flayer ship. In my previous life, I was...

...Who was I?

Obviously, I had amnesia. Let us mourn for one minute.

Anyway, thankfully Heaven had eyes and my time wasn't up. In this new life, I got a cursed twenty-sided die, a whole bunch of unlucky teammates from all corners of the world, and a kind mummy grandpa who was a generation removed from me.

The beautiful lady I met in a dream told me that if I wanted to survive, I had to join her in fighting the forces of evil and protecting world peace.

I didn't really understand what she was saying, but it was the New Year, and since I was already there, I might as well.

On our journey to save the world, I worked diligently and conscientiously. I fed the dozen or so people at camp by picking locks, breaking in, and getting everything for free, as well as scavenging. I also took an active role in everyone's career development plans (including the dog's, the mind flayer's online scams, and the classic tsundere cambion's), while looking after their mental health and offering therapy whenever needed.

It was a bit much to ask of anyone, since my Intelligence was only 8 after being reborn. But I still did a great job. I recommend Baldur's Gate give me this year's Best Leader award, because I deserve it.

Anyway, I led this highly unconventional adventuring party all the way to our final destination: Baldur's Gate.

And there, I met a raccoon spirit who claimed to be my ex-boyfriend.

That's where everything started going wrong.

Potential content warnings:

1. This is the legendary story of a heartthrob Evil Urge girl with an overflowing drive to succeed, single-handedly fighting off the love-struck male companions at camp (including unromanceable NPCs who were kidnapped and brought back to camp). You may see one-sided crushes aimed at this Bhaalspawn in any corner of the story.

But Evil Urge girl only has 8 Intelligence, so she can't understand them.

2. Evil Urge girl's brain has been thoroughly battered and is #really not very bright, though she can probably manage a little better than Minsc. But her shrimp-killing skills are guaranteed to be polished and reliable.

3. There isn't a single bit of serious plot. It's all fanservice for friends. If you can't handle it, go yell at her, not me. I'm just an enslaved content-producing machine.
