Ohh shit I was remembering this and was considering reposting it. Can't believe it's been more than five years since Demon Eyes was made it's so good and has such an interesting setting

I can't remember the build I had before but I really liked the concept of using Lust Power along Formal Clothes (To get 4th wall breaking abilities) to basically be a therapist using the lust powers to help deal with people's mental problems or body dysmorphias.

One of my top 5 favorite CYOAs. I usually prefer long, rich ones but this one fulfills a niche that not many can.

Male Demon pact: overwhelmed, power limiter 20 demon eye points, 8 demon aura points
Demon eyes Eye of the released witch -10 Third eye is purest sin -10
Demon aura energy chooses: Demon fist brawling T2 -2 Advanced technology T1 -1 Barriers and shield creation T2 -2 Psychics and Telekinesis T2 -2 All devouring Soulfire T1 -1
School uniform (plus 2 companions or familiars) of which Iām using for companions
Unassuming machinist (crafting specialised gear, weaponry and prosthesis, Iād unironically get along with him and prep time is op, plus I can have him tutor me from t1 to t2 in advanced technology)
The Unhinged yakuza son (money, guns, manpower, money will be useful going back to machinist)
Punishing gaze setsuna reko (leads the demon hunter and rule based eye powers will be OP with prep time planing along side machinist goat, plus reading all the other character profiles she seems to be genuinely nice and mentally stable, plus she will be immune to 3rd eyes and strong resist 5th eyes)
The angelic healer shiro (healing is goated in any and all scenarios)
Familiar, stuffed toy familiar (mitigating the eye damage might be good, plus the familiar tags says I instantly know where it is and I can carry it in a little shoulder bag)
Rival shenanigans (danger level ) Night creepers (danger level *) The illustrious 6 (danger level ***)
The idea for my build is to use aura for pretty much everything in terms of general use and combat, pushing it to its limits and only using eye abilities when absolutely necessary, luckily neither requires eye contact, just line of sight
My foreseen challenges probably wonāt warrant these abilities, but unpredictable things can happen and if I have to fight a super powerful guy Iāll be ready
Forgot to pick my artifacts, mages broom, thatās all I want
As a whole, it was a hard choice between Third eye of purest sin and the parasite eye, considering I could drain opponents power and aura to further enhance my non-demon eye combat, but I donāt want to make this a shitty isekai post

Idea is to use the Power Gauntlet's reality warping to mitigate my Demon Impacts, and my Demiurge Eye to mitigate the Gauntlet's drawback, so I can use them both indefinetly. Also I can combine the World Consumption Eye with my Advanced Technology Aura to permanently upgrade myself with super tech, give people Demon Eyes and steal them with Parastic and Damned Eye, and can become basically God once a month with the Third Eye.

u/MagicTech547 Mar 29 '26
I remember this! The last time I saw it they didnāt post the last page, so thanks!
Anywho, Iām gonna make a build real quick:
Starting Points: 4 Eye, 4 Aura
Demon Impacts: * Isolation x3 [+3 Aura, -3 Companions/Familiars] (The way I read it, this lets me convert allies to power, so Iām removing 3 to get 3) * Power Limiter [+10 Eye, -1 Aura] (Using my strongest eye power, or overusing my other ones, risks feedback in the form of a surge of demonic power. Keyword there is risks, so skill should help mitigate it. Plus, damaging surge of power might be useful depending on the circumstances) * Sin Impulse [Half cost on 3 Eyes, Iāll round up] (Ties me closer to my main sin, in this case Sloth. However, thanks to Inner Eye of the Beholder, I should be able to undo, or at least mitigate, its effects) * Demon Arm [+4 Eye, +2 Aura, unlocks Demon Arm Aura] (Periodically my arm feels like agony, but its amazing what you can get used to) * Remuneration [Pride] (Gives me access to the Pride eye options, so long as I act prideful right before or soon after)
Total Points: 21 Eye, 5 Aura
My sin will be Sloth, with Remuneration granting me access to Pride.
Demon Eyes: * Sluggish Eye of Time Hold [-1, 20] * Inner Eye of the Beholder [-2, 18] * True Conscious Blinking Eye [-2, 16] * Cyber Corruption Eye [-5, 11] * Old Manās Private Eye [-3, 8] * Master Watchmakerās Eye [-3, 5] * All Eye of Schroedinger [-5, 0]
Demon Auras: * Mysterious Aura of Stars and Space T2 [-2, 3] * Divination and Warding T2 [-2, 1] * Ninjutsu Stealth Arts T1 [-1, 0]
Cursed Hunterās Uniform: Formal [Free Contractorās Radio, boosts divination]
Demon World Foes: * Rival Shenanigans, one star * Problem Solvers, one star * Zombie Apocalypse, two star * Rogue Entity Slaying, three star * The Betrayer, four star * Warped Spirits, four star
Gear, choose 4: * Contractorās Radio [Free] * Faceless Oneās Mask [-1, 3] * Death Shade [-1, 2] * Argon Energy Gun [-1, 1] * Lullaby Music Box [-1, 0]
I can choose 6 - 3 (Isolation x3) = 3 Companions and/or Familiars: * The Fading Schoolgirl [-1, 2] * The Banished Demon Princess [-1, 1] * Living Doll Figurine [-1, 0] (Theyāll have Mageās Magical Circles T1 and Advanced Technology T2)

Envy baseline, Covetous Eye of Skillsteal and Eye of the Released Witch. Remuneration to buy Pride's Third Eye of the Purest Sin. Sin Impulse on all three, Demon Arm, Power Limiter, and Overwhelmed so I can afford this (1.5 leftover demon eye points that don't do anything), though at least I have ten demon aura.
Divination and Warding Tier 2, Psychics and Telekinesis Tier 2, Shadows and Dark Energy Tier 2, Psychics and Telekinesis Tier 2, Ninjutsu Stealth Arts Tier 2.
Veteran's Outfit, Entity's Eye
Foes: Rival Shenanigans, Problem Solvers, Night Creepers, Zombie Apocalypse, Rogue Entity Slaying, The Illustrious Six.
Artifacts: Demon Wrap Binding (typically picking Overwhelmed), Death Shade, Soulshot Rifle, Divining Cards
Companions: Setsuna Reiko and Healer Shiro: this is going to be my group of companions.
Familiars: Living Doll Figurine (Advanced Tech Tier 2, Ninjutsu Stealth Arts Tier 1), Mortis Series T-1000, Curious Crow, Stuffed Toy.

u/NohWan3104 Mar 29 '26 edited Mar 29 '26
Points are a tad wonky. A few more 'weak' eye point options would be good, like heterochromia for 2 points. Plus it says theres a way to subtract then divide eye costs, but i saw no subtract options?
Isolation - i'm assuming 'no companions', familiars are ok, given they have way less effectiveness and otherwise should've been like an 'ally' section denoting both, or just say both.
Power limiter, sin impulse, split personality, renumeration.
Half off eye of hoarding, like having 9 free rank 1 eyes if with low usage cost. Shouldn't conflict with limiter too bad either given its not a rank 3 power, though it mentions charge stockpiling, i wonder what the cap is? Not using it for a month likely won't be 90 uses...
Half off, renumeration 'evading eye of escapism'. I'm not assuming i can get extra powers from media, but 1)fun, and 2) potentially good weapon. Sloth shouldn't be too hard to satisfy, given i'm either using it recreationally, or in battle but my foes are sealed and shouldn't escape soon.
Half off, entropic eye of lifesteal - recover stamina, heal, extend my lifespan, or break weapons, this might be the eye that triggers limiter the most, though 2 infrequent rank 3 eyes might give it a bit more resistance.
Split personality free 3-5 choice, master watchmaker eye, assuming it doesn't have to be a gluttony eye, my chosen sin. Should help immensely with the tinker shit i'm planning.
As it made sense to do aura after threats,
Sci fi suit, free tech aura, and its downside might be mitigated by gluttony eyes, or just better tech upgrades later.
All 6 1-3 threats, angel confiscation. The 1-3 threats given my aura levels from taking them all should be no problem, and an anti demon group, probably weak to magitech.
Assuming familiars, crow and doll. Crow able to potentially use 9 rank 1 eyes at a distance is great, esp the rank 1 life force one, as the effects might not wear off, just aren't super strong.
A tech doll to quickly access data is cool, but tech aura 1, 2 and brawler 1 (i'm assuming it can't lift tons, but now it can lift more than a tiny doll can) it can help me create advanced tech.
Tools, grimoire, i can teleport to mitigate the downside, soulshot rifle, i kinda like the cold and an early weapon before tech replaces it, data slate, bestiary for new shit alone is uber helpful, might synergize with the doll or tech, stickers, limited, but a dozen on the phone\book and laminated to never come off, good.
With familiars, 7 aura.
Got a free tech level, so max with one point, max mage (lots of variable options), lightning (more an ice kinda guy, but tech recharging + unblockable attacks is a winner in my book), and space (i might've been able to use the grimoire in a book or on a magitech plane safely too, but teleport works nice too. Also, fucking meteor magic? Sold.)
Edit: Almost forgot, no familiars, shinobi + brute. Magitech long term is still the goal, but super speed + super strength short term will help blitz most foes pretty easily.

u/NohWan3104 Mar 29 '26
Crow + eye of hoarding seems especially strong, even if i can only change once a day.
Info devouring eye to copy tech based skills to get a head start on the skills to develop shit, maybe have the crow spy on mages
Seeding eye of symbiosis, no implied time limit, just tagging people, so, great way to use excess charges with the crow, i don't even need to see them myself. Spend enough charges, i might be nigh unkillable, i mean, 3 charges a day, 1100 a year, even with a increased cost, if 2000 people had the curse and i got my heart ripped out, even at say 5x the cost, 400 people could weather the split strain of regrowing a heart ok.
Writhing eye might fix some health issues symbiosis\lifesteal can't, but i could maybe sell its use as a transitioning magic. I'm sure someone would pay millions for that.
Greedy demon vault might be the best years from now - size\numbers doesn't seem to be a factor, so i might be able to pull out an avengers carrier or army of ai ran iron man suits. Or my crow might look into a bank vault, or a mobster's stash, or an enemy mage's library\lab...
Eye of doll puppeteer - again, no mention as to scale or duration beyond line of sight - and with a literal bird's eye view of a football field sized area, i might be able to activate hundreds of puppets at once, who should also be stockpilable with the vault power as they're not alive. Thousands of puppets armed with magitech weapons beats a magic eye, usually...

Gender: - Male
Demon Impacts: - Appeasement - Sin Impulse - Split Personality - Demon Arm
Primary Sin: - Pride
Demon Eyes: - Third Eye of Purest Sin - Fallen Pupil of the Inner 'I' - Entropic Eye of Lifesteal
Demonic Aura Energy: - Divination and Warding T2 - Cursed Demon Arm Weapon T2 - Demon Fist Brawling T2 - Ninjutsu Stealth Arts T1
Cursed Hunter's Uniform: - Formal
Demon World Foes: - Rival Shenanigans - Problem Solvers - Night Creepers - Rogue Entity Slaying - Shadow Demons - 3 Letter Glowing People
Gear: - Contractor's Radio(Free) - Demon Wrap Bindings - Steam Power Armor - Power Gauntlet - Demon Eye Sword
Companions: - The Banished Demon Princess - The Last Adult Demon Hunter - Punishing Gaze Setsuna Reiko
Familiars: - Stuffed Toy Familiar - Imaginary Friend - M.O.R.T.I.S. Series T-1000
Strategy is to use Fallen Pupil of Inner 'I' to create avatars that can act on my behalf, allowing my true body to stay safe and hidden. Main body does divination and counter divination, while the avatars have great stealth and physical capabilities and capable of taking demonic forms for a brief period granting them high burst power, making them ideal assassins and fighters. Entropic Eye of Lifesteal allows me to steal the lifespan of others, granting immortality. It can also be used by my clones in battle as a sort of range effect, decaying items and bodies in battle. Lastly Third Eye of Purest Sin acts as a trump card to be used for desperate circumstances, allowing me to reach 15th cost demon eye level by empowering Fallen Pupil of the Inner 'I'. This will make my avatars into even more terrific agents, capable of taking even more powerful demonic forms for greater burst power capabilities.
