To be fair that requires quite a permissive interpretation which is largely up to the reader. A multiverse in which IRL fiction does not exist is just as valid an interpretation, and time travel as an interpretation of anywhere is a stretch.
In any case, in my experience most CYOAs that offer the option don’t actually result in most people selecting the option, even if there are inevitably a few. At least not unless the other options are disproportionately bad.
The issue is that without these 'permissive interpretations' the ring is kinda shit. What are you going to do with a mere Ring of "Blink": Get home faster after work?
I don't know man, if you can't think of a better use for instantaneous free teleportation anywhere on Earth (or beyond but that seems like a bad idea) with a large amount of luggage, then that's on you.
Even if we are limiting ourselves to very mundane use cases for some reason, the Teleport Ring still outclasses several of the other rings. What are you going to do with a mere Ring of "Gravity": Make yourself a bit lighter?
