You want to catch up with Fei; last time you talked to her she was working on her Physical Jewel Moulding Technique, but thanks to you, she knew about some Beastman spies hiding in the Palace. She took control and found them. She supposedly holds them by her own, you're not sure on the King's feelings on this, but he hasn't stopped her.

You ask around, and are directed to a separate building you know well. The Prison, you ask the people at the entrance, and they tell you where she is: the deepest part of the prison, where she is holding the spies, 3 of them. You walk for a long while, until you find a door labelled "Spies! No Entry!", that sounds like her. You knock on the door, and it opens with a sharp creak. Fei only opens it a bit, you can see her face, but not the interior of the building.

"Hi Zou! Uh...I'm not sure you'll want to come in right now...welcome back anyway! How are you?"

"Uh good, but, I was responsible for the information about the spies, I think I should see them."

"S-sure, but please don't shout at me! I had no choice! They, uh, resisted!"

You can see three people, one has a pair of blue wings on her back, another looks completely human, female, but time will tell, the last looks almost human from this angle, except his ears of a horse. The winged one and the horse one are unconscious, but the human one is awake, you can tell with your Life Element, however, her eyes are closed. You can see minor injuries on all three. They are all chained to the wall, with Onyx suppressors on them, stretching to the almost human one you see a Waxy Jade spike is digging in somewhere, you see blood. You look back to Fei.

She is standing there with an almost embarrassed expression. You see the spike coming from her right hand.

"Who are they, and how are they?"

"Well, we have one Horseman, one Birdwoman, and one Snakewoman. They were snooping around in the spaces between the walls, all of them have the Flexibility attribute on their Physical Jewels, which explains a lot. I think they are fine! Ignore the...the spike, its precautionary!"

"You know how to torture people?"

"I-It's an essential part of being in the army. I haven't killed them, but I have got some information out of them. After martial law was implemented, they sent the information we gathered about the Moon-Beasts back home, and they also sent some information about you, back home. I don't want to kill them, but they keep giving me reasons to-"

The Snakewoman opens her eyes, slit pupils looking back at you, in that instant, she spits on Fei.

"Filthy cursed bitch!"

"Bluegh! You see! I don't want someone like Jessica or Sun-Di or Shain take over because they would just kill them and be over it, Jiang is a no for obvious reasons, but, I have been keeping them like this."

You look back at the Snakewoman, straight into her yellow-green eyes. She stares at you with animosity.

"What do you want, False Saint, a simple boy like you-guah!"

Fei kicks her in the stomach. The Spike reaching even further.

"That should shut you up! If you want to try asking some questions, go ahead, but, soon...I will be handing them to Jessica, for a proper dissection."

You see the Snakewoman is nonreactive to that statement, she must have come here thinking she would die then. Time to get tough.

"I am going to ask you some questions, if you do not answer, I have many ways of causing pain, you know about my Jewels, I think its time you learn what they truly mean."

"Gurrah! You. Are. A. Body. Guard. For. The. Princess!"

You stop the Lightning, that should be enough.

"Anything else?"

"That you have the Saint Element! It was important!"

"Right, is that why you called me false saint?"

"Someone like you, who sides with her cursed blood has no right to call themselves a Saint! Here you are, causing pain in others!"

"Your country is planning to go to war with us! I see no reason to spare you from torment. You could be planning an attack with the Moon-Beasts for all we know!"

"No! Those things are an abomination, they hate us as much as they hate you!"

"Really? They looked a lot like animals when I saw them, they could have used your people as a reference."

"Fuck. You. ARRGH!"

You see Fei moving the Jewel Spike around.

"How did you get into the castle, and why? You had to get through the Wastelands of all things"

"We walked. Then we used some disposable tools to hide ourselves."

"How was the Wasteland? Whatever it was like, I can show you worse."

"That's the attitude we hate about you humans. You always think of yourself as the top, the smartest, the most powerful! Our ancestors had to survive as the monsters themselves to get to where we are now!"

"Is that why you started to spy on us?"

"Maybe. You see the fruits of our efforts soon."

You think back to the information about the Moon-Pod you were told, that a force much larger would be landing, or attempting to land to attack Dershwa City very soon. They must be using that to make 2 fronts. This confirms that there are spies in the Sunrise army. Things to tell the King for sure.

"Well. I think I am done here. Good luck Fei."

You turn around to leave when you want to ask one more question.

"I was told by a reliable source that Beastmans were not supposed to have animal features, what happened to you?"

You see her grit her fangs.

"We are the true culmination of the Beastmans, we ignored our Beast heritage for so long, but no longer! We are but a small step to supremacy. May you suffer and die!"

Fei punches her and knocks her out.

Are they trying to turn themselves into monsters again? Things to think about.

"Zou? Sorry to rush you, but the King requested your appearance for this afternoon, so if you could leave them to me..."

"Sure, I'm done here."

You leave to go see the King.

You are told by the attendants to head to the Library again. The King is there, with a notebook in front of him. Unlike normal, he looks...tense.

"Hello, Zou, please come in. How was the trip?"

"Well. I spent most of the time resurrecting people who had died in the initial attack from the Moon-Slimes. However, I have learnt a lot more in that time."

"Go on, start with the Saint Element."

"I am able to make a small amount of Holy Power, which completely destroys beasts of the Evil Element. I can resurrect people if they are ashes, in parts, or full-bodied. I need something like a body to use the Skill. Greater Resurrection can work on major injuries and diseases. That's about it."

"Next, the Moon."

"They are weak to Water, and resistant to Lightning, they are metallic slimes, but can look like other things, the Commander looked like a human, he's dead now and the Pod they arrived in is scheduled to be destroyed. I killed the Commander. You should expect an attack on the City very soon. I am not sure of the size. However, the Beastmans are planning to attack at the same time, I learnt this from the spies held by the 1st Princess."

"Ah...what a shame, what were the species of animal?

"Horse, Bird and Snake, they appear to be radicals. They had animal features."

"I see. I think now is the time to ally with the Dragon, Lion, Wolf and Tiger tribes then. I thank you for this. Anything else?"

"Well. I have to ask before I tell you much more. Are you a time traveller?"

You see nothing change in his expression.

"In what sense?"

"How old are you? How many times have we had this conversation? How many times have you reset?"

"30. I will tell you more later, but, I do not know everything about the world. I do know where you might have received this information, do not worry. Your choices are not predetermined."

"About that. Jessica helped me to awaken as a Heavenly Jewel Master, I have the Strength attribute."

"Tch, well, at least you have become one. Sometimes you have multiple Physical attributes. I guess you are not as lucky as your other timelines."

You see his usual friendly face droop into something much more solemn.

"Were the Sunrisers and Her Highness as brutal as they always are?"

"Yes."

"Ignore them, we can deal with them when we can stop the attack from the Moon. I will succeed!"

"My King, have you stopped time recently?"

"Yes, training, I can stop time only for a few seconds, my Consolidated Equipment focuses on reversing time, even mine to a degree, so other uses of time are weaker. I need to train them for the final battle."

"I feel like we have a lot of enemies. How did you beat them in other timelines?"

1/?

"I can't tell you, or this timeline could be ruined, and I would have to reset. The Sunrisers are weak apart from the Queen, Miller is fine, I have told you about the Beast tribes. Only focus on the Moon, if you do not, everyone, including you, will die. They are supported by an alien with the Destruction Element, it is the very antithesis to the world, and it is unique to them. We must kill them, or all hope is lost."

"Yes sir. I have something that could help."

You draw out your Reaper's Scythe.

"Anything this touches, dies. It has activated and flew on its own though, so it isn't safe."

"Good idea, does it require a technique to use?"

"No. I think it just relies on your Strength."

"Well, you will have amazing Strength, and you will be better suited for Space travel, so keep it, just make sure to keep a hold of it."

"Yes, My King!"

"Anything else you want to tell me?"

"I was given a book on the Mutation of Life. I also appear to be able to make my Stored Skills more powerful with training, is that normal?"

"For you? Yes. Use and abuse it all you want. I have yet to see a version of you where you become too powerful, but be wary about destroying the world."

That's a bit ominous.

"How do you feel about Jiang beating me?"

"If you get your Consolidated Equipment, you will have a much better chance. I will prepare for the 2 front attack. Your next orders are to get that God Tier Consolidated Equipment, and prepare to join Jessica as part of the Space Force to do two things when the attack occurs."

"One, try and shoot down the Ships they will come in. Two, for those that survive, kill on site. I will be training my Element. I also have one last request. Do not tell anyone about my time travel, some of the monsters have figured it out, but if my family knew, they would feel nothing but disgust and fear. As in every other timeline, they are dead, the planet is taken over, and I left to start anew. Please."

"Of course. I promise."

"Dismissed!"

You leave, a much more worried man than before. 30? That means 29 times over, they have won. You need to prepare for the Destruction Element, and put everything into getting stronger."

You might want some experience with the Reaper's Scythe. So you take a small trip outside, and find a tree to kill. You hit it with the Scythe's blade, you see it die immediately, falling and crumbling to ashes.

You then try looking for something that can fight back. However, the only thing would be some monsters the Darkness department keep around for Stored Skill testing. You ask if you can kill one. Yep, but nothing too powerful.

You find something with a lot of endurance, and swing it two handed towards the monster, a turtle with the Earth Element, around the 2 Jewel stage.

You strike the shell. The Earth Turtle dies instantly, flesh rotting away until only a core is left.

You leave, your job done, and go back to your room. You get a call from Song Chad-Pah.

"Hey, buddy, we need to talk."

He sounds sad, anxious even.

"It happened a yesterday evening, but, I needed time to-to reflect. The Mama has passed away. Old age, the doctor said, her heart just gave out. One of the older kids told me in person, ran all the way to the academy."

Oh.

"I think I can-I can resurrect people! I'll come over right away!"

"I don't know, how does it work?"

"I mean, it makes people alive again, same as they were before."

"She's old, as soon as you awaken her, she is just going to die again. I don't think it's going to work that way. I-I don't think she'll want to come back either, she's had a good life."

"I see. What will we do next?"

"Well, the funeral is in a week, seven days, at the orphanage. I think one of the older women who works there is taking over the place. I have made arrangements to go with the academy. So if you can, try and come, martial law can't stop us from doing this."

You hear him sobbing up on the other side of the call.#

You think back to the attack. Very soon? That could be a week! You need to be here to fight, but she's the closest thing to your own mother!

>Arrange to attend the Funeral, with a tool from the Spatial department to teleport you back to your station if it comes under attack

"I'll come. I guess I'll see you there."

"Thank you. Goodbye."

He ends the call. You make another one to Dr Zhang Xi-Tze.

"Hello, would it be possible to make me a teleportation tool that returns me to a specific spot every time?"

"Uh yes, why do you ask?"

"In a week I am attending a funeral. I need a way to get back here quickly."

"Oh, I'm so sorry for your loss. Who is it?"

"The closest thing to a mother I have."

"Shit, well give me some time, and I can send something for you for tomorrow afternoon in your room. When is the funeral?"

"In a week."

"Wait, you mean like what the 4th Princess was saying-"

"Yep."

"Good to know. I'll have it done as soon as possible."

He ends the call. That's when you hear something you have hear before, the bells, the discolouration.

*DONG*

This time, you see the shadowy outline of an old man standing in front of you.

"Hello. I can be considered the closest thing you might consider to be the Dao."

What?"

"I want to tell you, that when you have reached the Zong Stage, your Saint Element can work to make people younger, more filled with life, there is hope for the Mama. Do not worry."

With that, he disappears. You need some sleep.

>You have run out of time!
>Sleep
>Start of the 69th day

With the Mama dead, the Dao itself talking to you, and everything yesterday, you know that you have several things to do, work with research, train Jiang, cultivate, Consolidated Equipment Master work. Asking if your Master can make a 9 piece for Song Chad-Pah. Too many things to do, too little time.

You manage to complete it by sheer luck. It glimmers gold.

"Hmmm, I think some more practice will be needed, but this is good too. Fine. I have a few options. Considering your Strength attribute we could do something with that, it would just increase your Strength to unimaginable heights, it is an old set, we found a version with 11 pieces, but we made another one for some completion. 12 pieces, The first ten multiply by an extra 2, such that of you had 10 pieces, your Strength would be multiplied by 20, 11 multiplies it by 3, and 12 multiplies it by 4, resulting in a total multiplier of 27. Take your base Strength at 12 Jewels and multiply by 27, that will be your maximum strength by the end, however, it uses a pair of Hammers and you use a Sword. it is called "Legacy of Strength: Handle on the World" set.

You could have one of my own creations called "Angel of Death God Tier Set" 12 pieces. It makes use of the fact the Saint Element can double any stat once or twice. With 1 piece your buffing will increase to 4 times, with 2 pieces 6 times, and so on for 12 pieces, resulting in a buff worth times 26 times at the 12th Jewel , it will also improve your Saint Element, making it stronger, and halving the cost of all Saint Element Skills, like the King's set for Time, and when you hit 10 pieces, it makes the Skill Resurrect automatic, you would never die by anything other than old age with it, and even that can be delayed with the Saint Element. I can consider it one of my greatest achievements, it uses a sword hilt that boosts holy power, making a Sword out of Holy Power that deals a ton of damage. A glowing laser Sword sounds cool right?

You could have a mixture I guess. With a 13 times multiplier of strength, the Holy Hilt, a times 13 to buffing at the 12th Jewel. I personally would not recommend this option, specialisation is the way to go."

>>3742498

This is useful for both combat and healing

>Instead of a rolling increase, each new piece will just double your Strength or buffing ability.

>Legacy of Strength, by twelve Jewels will result in 2^13 multiplier for Strength, it will just double.
>Angel of Death, by twelve Jewels will result in 2^12 increase to your buffing, meaning a total of 2^13 for your buffing in total.

Writing, I will try and fine a good image for it, but imagine a mixture of a Valkyrie and Angel armour, it will initially be pure white due to your Icy Jade, but as you get more Jewels, it will become Gold and White, representing your Saint Element.

Something to note, your Jewels will embed themselves in the armour. One Jewel in the Hilt, another in the breast plate, another on the Helmet. Where do you want the other 9 to go in the end? They can be in groups of three or separate. Just go for it.

>Angel of Death, posting 2 images, first has the glowing sword, except replace with a golden coloured one, second one has the gold colour, and the wings. Pretty fancy.

No fucking way, that is too complicated to set up a system for. I will however get you to choose how to progress when you hit 9 Jewels though, as the Divine Independence Technique only goes to 9 Jewels, but that will come later.

"Angel of Death set."

"Good to hear, I have made 6 pieces, but each Scroll is pretty heavy, so I am going to give you one at a time. Take this."

She hands you the "Scroll", it is more like a thick rainbow crystal tablet! It is completely solid, you look inside the crystal structure, and see angelic motifs and heavenly imagery carved inside the very crystal! Even with your Strength, it is difficult to carry.

"You see, as they get more complicated, you have to start drawing in 3-D. I won't force you to go that far. It is heavy because it is weighted down by ideas and thoughts and the divine will of a Heavenly God Master. Use it by inserting your Heavenly Energy, then bringing the tablet to your Physical Jewel. Try it out here for me. I'll go get something sturdy."

She walks off. You follow her instructions. You see the crystal melt into your Jewel, shrinking until you feel its imprint on your Jewel Itself! You summon it, for free, as is supposedly unique to God Tier sets. It is only a hilt, a Pure Black one, contrary to your Icy Jade, but you then move your Elemental Jewel from your left wrist into the Holy Hilt in the middle, and a shining gold blade made of Holy Power, glitters in front of you.

>Holy Blade deals damage according to how many Jewels you have, at the moment it deals 1d700 damage.
>Buffing is now a 4x effect, which can be used once with no consequences, and twice with a STA roll.

With that done, you de-summon it, reverting to one Icy Jade Jewel. Master comes back with a slab of metal. She has also brought with her a second God Tier Scroll, and a Spatial Ring.

"Summon the Sword! Hit it with that buffing!"

>Junior Brother Mo, you can go to sleep now, this will be the last update until tomorrow.

You summon your Holy Blade, insert your Jewel, making the blade of golden Holy Power appear from the black hilt. You swing down, and cut clean straight through the metal!

"Ahahaha! Now that's more like it!" Shao-Bao is looking excited, which looks a bit off as she is considerably old.

"Kuhum! Take these two. The Spatial Ring is indispensable, use it to store all of your stuff, and it weighs practically nothing. The second is the Scroll for the Breastplate, and second piece of Equipment! Enjoy!"

You leave, and now wear a black ring on your left index finger. You go back to your room, and store everything, it is now the afternoon. You have yet to use the Scroll for the Breastplate.

This is the last update until 6am BST tomorrow until 8am, this is because I may have to go see my Grandma for the day to help her with some stuff she cannot do on her own. If this is the case, I will post so, if it is not the quest will restart at 14:00 pm BST. Thank you all for playing! Congratulations on getting your Consolidated Equipment Set! Goodnight!

>Store your second piece of the Angel of Death set.

I appreciate your consideration, but I shall abuse my NEETdom and just wait until deep night for the guy over at Awakening Mirror to post an update. Good night, though!

>>Store your second piece of the Angel of Death set.

>>3742734
>Go see someone (Shian and Shara)
I forgot.

>>3742734
>Store the second piece.

Now in the safety of your own room, you can now get this over with. You take out the rainbow slab. Insert your Heavenly Energy, and bring the imprint into your second Icy Jade Jewel. You feel like the shape is a lot larger than the Holy Blade.

You summon both pieces of Consolidated Equipment, the hilt forming in your right hand, and the second one moving from the wrist, and to the chest. Where it expands and flattens out to an immpossibly large black Breastplate with another socket for your Elemental Jewel in the centre, where your heart could be.

You move both of your Jewels to there resoective sockets, you start seeing small gold decals coming from the socket, a similar gold to the Holy Power in the Holy Blade.

>Buffing with the set on is now ×8

Well. You now have an evening to train. Your orders from this point are to help with the Space Force and prepare for the upcoming attack.

You check in the post section and find a small package with both a note explaining what is inside but also how to use it. It is that teleportation device. Merely break the crystal and you will be brought back to the Elemental Research department.

>Help out Jiang

You would find Jiang in the ballistics division. So with everything you have tucked neatly away in your Spatial Ring, you walk there.

You find her and the 9 Jewel Nature Master looking over a map of the City. 8 points have been marked in red.

"Princess? Sir? Is there anything I can help with?"

Jiang looks up at you. A you can see she is a bit tired.

"Uhuh. The eight points are places I could be stationed in the event of an invasion. My current job is to explode any enemy ships I see and to help with setting up some mines for the ground invaders. However. Out of these points. I don't know which one I should go for. There's one where the Cursed Forest Hunters are. One next to the border with the Wastelands. One on the north where Miller is. One on the south where there is nothing to get through so an open area to attack and the other 4 are just somewhere inbetween the cardinal directions."

>To note, Dershwa City looks like a rough semi-circle. With the flat side on the west, where the Wastelands is.

The Upper Level Zong Stage Master voices his opinion. Saying that she should be aiming for the north, as the monsters from the Wastelands will ignore her in the even they use this attack as an opportunity, and she won't burn down the forest with an explosion. She will also be closer to the allies that will travel from Miller.

Jiang says that she wants to be as close to the battle as possible. Which would be the Wastelands to the west.

"Aliens would target our food, so the south."

"That makes sense. Alright. South it is."

With that done. You want to teach her some more Heavenly Energy Control. So you begin to describe how to move Elemental energy, but you don't knpw the pattern for fire. So you'll just have to wing it.

>Roll 1d100 best of three for teaching and Heavenly Energy Control. You get a +25 bonus. If only one person rolls, wait 5 minutes, then roll a 2d100 for me please.

She does really well. In fact, she is close yoa breakthrough! You decide to leave it and go to your room. You decide to not summon your Consolidated Equipment yet, you may as well save it for when the two of you fight next.

Writing. However. I need to eat some tea, so it will be ready for 19:00 pm BST.

>Go to the Space Force

With your new height of power. You think you should help prepare for the attack. You head over to the Space Force, and are asked to join one of the Elemental divisions for the defence.

Player Choice
>Spatial, where you will be manning a Spatial cannon and may be part of the counter attack force, people who will work as two man teams in small teleships to scout out the Moon and its estimated size in all the chaos, which will mean your role will be to redirect incoming Moon-Pods and other ships to people who can attack them or as stated above. You will learn the Fly skill, which will work for not only your own flight, but with any flying ship.
>Lightning division, you will man a Lightning attribute cannon, and will be shooting down any ships directly. Frying their circuits, even if they are resistant, it could do something.
>Life, healers to the injured, as you also have Wind, you will be on call for emergencies
>Water, you will man nearby Warships, which have been outfitted with Spatial technology using something akin to the telescope you have to fire long range Ice and Water, these creatures are weak to Water.
>Wind, information and message transfer between troops.

>>3744804
which of these units is in the most need of manpower? and which of these units puts us in a situation where the resurrection skill will be the most used? Need to make sure we are maximizing our effect on the war

i imagine either the life or spatial units are the ones in most need of Jewel Masters and Jessica is probably gonna lead the lightning corps if we manage to help the research department distill holy power well enough that she doesnt kill herself in despair when the month is out

>>3744804
>Life, healers to the injured, as you also have Wind, you will be on call for emergencies

>>3744809
I mean, they all have spaces for people. Life would be the best opportunity to use the Resurrect Skill. You would revive people in the battlefield and at base when you get the opportunity.

Jessica will be leading the Weapons department, which will focus on using new and recent technology in battle, some of which was tested on the expedition to the Wastelands.

>>3744804
>>Life, healers to the injured, as you also have Wind, you will be on call for emergencies
we are the only person in the entire city with the Resurrection skill, might as well make sure to use it a lot to reduce the burden, using HE buffing we should be able to ressurrect 14-15 people a day with the skiils current cost, we can then work up the Special upgrade for teh passive resurrection contingency and apply it to the princesses

>>3744832
oh wait focused regeneration, 14-15 people a section of the day

>>3744839
Using your Consolidated Equipment, 960*8=7680, Angel of Death set halves the cost of all Saint Element Skills= 153 people per session, however the number of dead will depend on your rolls during that period.

>Life

You make your choice, you reckon that being the only person with the ability to resurrect, and your new Angel of Death set. Your usefulness will skyrocket!

You are join the division, and are immediately told to report to the Doctors. They tell you that they need to teach you some first aid, and some more specialised techniques. This means some more medical study. They say that it is mandatory, and they want to decrease the number of deaths any way possible, so they want to train you not to rely on your Saint Element.

They bring you to a classroom with fake cadavers and many first aid kits. You are joined by about 20 others, all with the Life Element. You begin with first aid in an emergency.

>Roll 1d100+100 best of three or increasing Surgical Technique, which will apply for all medical uses. You will be taught to a maximum of Useful Level, which will teach you to use your Life Element in specific ways.

Rolled 33 (1d100)

>>3744857
>183
>Surgical Technique increases by 9!
>Basic Surgical Technique 20/20
>Skill UP to Useful Surgical Technique 0/100

By the end, you can use both normal equipment and the Life Element to perform first-aid.

You are then asked personally to then use your Resurrect Skill to help revive some of the people the old Jessica used in experiments. You are lead to what looks like a mass burial grave outside the Palace, or at least, it looks like it. The doctors tell you that you are still in the Palace, but you can see sky.

"You know, most of these people were Jewel Masters testing out Stored Skills, or acted as live test subjects for new equipment. The people with the skill job new what they were signing up for, the test subjects didn't. We have people on standby to help. Beneath us are about 2000 people give or take. That's how many were murdered by the 4th Princess. I hope we can get through them all."

You summon your Angel of Death set, the Blade glowing gold, and buff your Heavenly Energy.

You end up spending an entire afternoon resurrecting people. They are angry, disorientated, and will need therapy to recover. You on the other hand, receive a huge growth, not only does the Skill decrease in cost, you also learn right at the end that you can apply this to live people, to act upon their death, This will become handy soon.

With that done. You take your leave, and go back to your room, using Focused Regeneration to restore the Heavenly Energy you used. You wonder. If you gain control over your Heavenly Energy like Fei can, what could you be able to do?

You think back to how Jessica was acting when you came back from the island. If you don't do something, then she will do something to herself she may never come back from. You can bring the dead back to life, but insanity and depression is something else entirely. With that thought, you use Resurrect on yourself.

You hide as well as you can and find the medicinal part of the department. You don't want Jessica finding you if she's having one of her moments. You get there no problem.

"I was wondering, I have used my Saint Element to help her symptoms before, I want to know if I can help her further with a medicine based on my Saint Element."


"Certainly, we can try. We have been working on trying to learn the pattern of Saint Energy, so that we can use it in tools like any other Element, but it is tricky. The King's Time Element is the same. We think that it has something to do with how much one Element can do. Anyway follow me and we can run some tests for the pattern."

He takes you to a spherical room covered in Amethyst, Onyx and Opals. Supposedly you just have to release the Element into the surroundings, and it can get somewhere with it. However, the success seems to solely rely on luck.

When do we just randomly become an asshole as is tradition with cultivation novels?

>>3745946
I mean, it shouldn't be random, but there are ways to move forward to make the PC more cynical, most notable being reluctant to tell people things about what you did, with the excuse that you can't trust them. You could also start progressing towards the Sunriser way of thinking, however this would put you through self doubt and depression, as you would begin either to think of yourself as superior due to your Elements and your status as a Heavenly Jewel Master, and you would then get curb-stomped by someone stronger than you, or inferior due to your current cultivation, which would result in you feeling like your are useless. We can think about these things when we get there. Your personality is built partially on the Elements you chose. Just like Fei is a bit air headed, she embodies the wind. Jiang is roaring like a fire, Tsushuri believes herself to be above everyone due to her Divine Element, you will come to embody a saint as you get more powerful and versatile.

With the battle to be expected in a few days, you need to make sure one of your resident Heavenly Kings is in tip top shape, so you go back to the same place as yesterday evening, and ask them to calibrate the machine for you to try again. They agree, and this time you see that the Onyx in the walls of the Sphere has been changed to some Rainbow Moonstone, and there is a different arrangement of Amethyst. Where do they get all these precious jewels from anyway? They tell you that the Rainbow Moonstone will try to absorb the Saint Element, as it is compatible with it, which should get them focal points of where the pattern and structure become have their maximum and minimum displacement. You don't really get it, but you are glad that they at least told you some stuff about the process. You repeat what you did yesterday.

You need a break, you also want to go see someone you were worrying about since the last time you saw her. Shara. You think for a bit and assume that if anything, she would be under protection by Shian. So you look around for the Darkness department, which is unsurprisingly near the Stored Skill Palace.

"2nd Princess? This is Zou-Do-Shai?"

You walk around until you find only one door to the side, labelled "Darkness Department". This must be it. You knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

"Zou-Do-Shai."

"Come in."

You open the door to find Shian sitting at an empty desk, she has summoned one piece of her Consolidated Equipment, an extra arm which is being used like a punching arm. She dismisses it when she sees you.

"Sorry about that, just making sure it is you. Why have you come here? I'm not helping with Spatial Skills."

"I would like to see Shara."

"Oh right. Sure. I managed to get her out of the cell. However, I am personally responsible in protecting her, So I need to make sure anyone who comes close is someone she can trust. Follow me."

You look around, things are cold, dark, you can't see much light from windows or crystal lamps. You see Shian summon her entire Consolidated Equipment set, and you see all the limbs shift and mould into very specific tools, which you see her use to unlock something in the walls. An entire section disappears, revealing a normal room.

"Be aware that the room is filled with hidden microphones to record stuff she says about the Moon."

You walk inside.

"Zou? Is that you?"

You see Shara looking at something on her desk. She looks healthy, there are no chains. Her wings are free. She looks up at you, smiling.

"Hehe. What do you think?"

You look behind you and the wall has been made real again.

Writing. That's a lot. Confused of your use of doozy, some people use it to mean "easy", some people use it to mean "difficult", please clarify.

>>3747213
The "difficult", "complicated", "my body is changing and I'm blond now?" sort of doozy.

"Well...how has everyone been treating you anyway? It's been awhile."

"Better. I can't go outside, but if I talk to some of Shian's friends every week I can have all of this!"

She points to the various things in the room. A bathroom, a 1 person bed, a desk, something you think might be designed to show images screwed into the wall, a big rectangle, and some other things. It is slightly untidy. You don't see a cupboard for clothes. So she must make them herself. She is wearing a sheet that covers her body and not much else.

"What's the thing in the wall?"

She makes a smug face at you. She seems a lot more happy than last time.

"I can use it to see almost anything I want! I've been learning how my wings work, it's been really interesting. I can't use them at the moment , but I am sure that will change soon!"

"I have made myself a respectable reputation, is there anything you might like?"

"I mean, a way to get stronger would be nice. Apparently, If I get strong enough, I can become human, but Shian and her friends don't want that...some way to get Heavenly Energy would be the best way, but everyone keeps telling me no, saying that my power could be useful to you. Oh that's right! I learnt what it's called now! Saint! That's what I am! I just knew I can help people really well. People seem really scared of me for some reason. I'm glad my power has helped you at least."

"Yeah. That Wind Skill I..stored from you was used to defeat a Moon Commander."

"Oh they're small fry. What was he?"

"All the monsters that attacked where I was put were metallic slimes, they could shape-shift."

You see her expression change to one of confusion.

"That's not right. When I was there they were a minority...you didn't see anything else?"

"No, how was the Moon like? Things must be a lot different now."

"Well. It was a long time ago. I don't really know time all that well. A bird can only do so much. Longer than you've been alive at least. It was grey...the Sun hurt so we all lived underground, none of us needed to eat, so I never went hungry, but there was nothing to do but fight and kill each other, I didn't like that. There was this one guy trying to gain power called "Kreyzar", he was all red and stuff. He said that we shouldn't live here any longer and tried to kill those that disagreed. I kinda agreed, so I came here one day. It was nice for a while."

"I was told about something called the Destruction Element, does that ring any bells?"

"I don't know? Is it something like our Saint Element?"

"Kinda, but it will be used with the cannon."

"Oh yeah! That sounds about right for Kreyzar, he dug tunnels and stuff. Destroyed the ground and everything."

"Huh. With our Saint Element, does everyone in your species have it? My experience has been complicated. I can resurrect people, but my body is changing. I wasn't always this blond."

"Hmm I don't really know. I don't remember anything. I just knew I was a bird and I could fly and help people."

1/2

>>3747248
"Well. I'll keep you updated. I gave an egg from one of those slimes to someone, so we should have some answers soon."

"O-Ok. I'm just. I was watching something about birds on this place. Do you think that there are others like me? No-one else I met could do the things I can. Then now I hear that the red guy only has slimes, there was so much more. He could have done anything!"

"Don't worry about it. You're safe here."

"Huhuh! Shian promised me she would keep me safe. Your hair looks nice, so don't worry! Wings are nothing to be ashamed of!"

Well that's not exactly inspiring. You see her try and stretch her white wings out in a display.

"I'm sure I'll have fun with that. You mentioned that you have a third Skill for me last time, well it might take a little longer to get there. I still have two Jewels, but I am a Heavenly Jewel Master, so it will take a little longer, any spoilers?"

"No! Work hard and find out!"

"Sure. I'll come see you if there's any news alright?"

"Sure! I'll tell Shian to tell you if I want something."

"Got it." You knock on the same patch of wall, and leave the room. You see Shian looking at you with narrowed eyes. The wall appears behind you.

"Just so you know, she doesn't know about the attack in a few days. I don't want her to hear a peep afterwards, you got that?"

"Promise. How much of that did you already know about?"

"Most of it. Congrats on loosing to Jiang. If I see you grow wings I personally volunteer to cut them off. How's resurrection working out?"

"Good. Do you want a death protection contingency?"

"Uh what?"

"Shian might have something similar now that she doesn't have her power drained from her. If you die of something other that old age, you will be revived instantly."

"Sure. No funny business right? I know you need to touch someone to use that Skill." She rolls up her normally long sleeve.

As you are getting older, you are becoming more aware of these things, an namely that even though Shian is the second oldest, she is the most...developed out of the sisters. When you're done here you need to get out. She just hasn't learned to trust people like you. What does she think about Shara then? You know she has inclinations...things to think about later.

>Some restrictions: Must be 9 Stars or less, Must cost 100 HE or less, they must all focus on attacking or making affects, as they want Skills to kill the Moon-Slimes. So no defensive skills. Can be Ice related at 4 Stars and above, Ice Skills still count as Water Element.

>The Rank of Skill you get will decide its cost, with 9 Stars costing 5000 Gold, and 1 Stars costing 200 Gold. You need to make some choices.

>>3747377
>Hunter River Dragon: Create a long serpentine water dragon that catches multiple opponents inside its current, hitting them with the full length of its body, can be sustained with more HE to continue its hunting within the skills range
Basically an automated water attacking skill, the idea is to use the dragon and then jsut mantain the HE cost so it fights independent of us

>>3747377
>Mirror, Mirror, Rank 7 Water Skill, creates illusions using copies made of water, can attack the target or be used to evade an attack. Costs 60 HE. Can only copy objects or people present during it's use.

> Rain Arrows, Rank 8 Water Skill, manifests an high number of raindrops in front of the users, to be shot at faster-than-sound speed. The number of raindrops is based on HE consumption (1 Raindrop = 10 HE, min. 5 Raindrops per Skill usage). Can be used to attack small, medium, large, wide, and super-wide areas.

>>3747443
To explain further:
> Mirror, Mirror
It creates a copy made of water or ice of anything Zou can see; this limitation is because I doubt that Zou would be able to remember enough, for example, of Her Highness, to create a perfect copy of her to order her soldier around. Can be removed as Zou becomes more experienced with it (Rank Up).

>>3747441

>Hunter River Dragon, 7 Star Skill. For 70 HE per round. can be used to restrain 1-5 opponents inside its length, dealing 1d4000 damage per round to each person inside its body, can be avoided with a roll of above 4000 for END, FLX and COORD. When restrained, the victim cannot attack or run, only take or avoid the hit. 4000 Gold.

>>3747443
>>3747461

Lets change some things, the limitation will be loosened to mean something you know very well, we can discuss this further.

>Mirror, Mirror, 7 Star Water Skill, creates an illusion of something the user knows the appearance and size of, will be made of Water and where appropriate, Ice, costs 70 HE, the illusion can be made to attack for damage equivalent to the amount of excess HE the user inputs. Evolution in the quality and colour of illusions, sight through the apparition and other aspects like the possibility to have the illusion become solid enough to hold weapons. The illusion will be destroyed immediately upon contact by an enemy. 4000 Gold.

>Rain Arrows 6 Star Water Skill, manifests a number of raindrops in front of the user, to be shot at faster-than-sound speed. The number of raindrops is based on HE consumption (1 Raindrop = 10 HE), where each raindrop deals 1d400 damage. Can be used to attack small, medium, large, wide, and super-wide areas. Evolution in power of raindrops, and the potential for snipes. 3000 Gold.

>>3747484

>Northern Black Turtle's Jaws, Rank 9 Skill, costs 100 Heavenly Energy.
>Conjures forth a misty image of the Northern Black Turtle, which grabs nearby enemies in its jaws and bites down. Despite its immaterial appearance it is incredibly strong, but physical attacks simply pass through without causing harm. Will deal 1d7000 damage to one opponent. 5000 Gold

My changes, feel free to ask questions. By a rule, unless the Skill is 10 Stars or above, they must cost less than 100 HE, so that Elemental Jewel users can use them at the first Jewel level.

>>3747508
It's interesting that you changed so Rain Arrows can be used to snipe, because the "min. 5 Raindrops per usage" was exactly to avoid that, because it might overlap with other Skills. I actually envisioned the Skill as a wide area tactical bombardment attack, to be used in tandem with Flight.
I even had a variant in mind, which creates a massive Ice bullet to be dropped from orbit a la colony drop.

>>3747508
for the new version of the dragon, do we use the skill once and then the effect remains like with the rapier? can we recast the skill to trap new people in the same dragon? Also what is the HE cost?

>>3747520
Well, the min 5 raindrops per use thing sounded limiting, so I changed it. The wide area thing can still apply, this just gives you options if you encounter something that is weak to water in the wild, and you don't want to damage everything in its surroundings. Flight is achievable through many means, so go for it. It made sense to me. Evolution can develop this Skill into something like making Ice Meteor rain down.

>>3747521
70 HE per round, you would cast it for 70 HE and maintain it fpr 70 HE the next round, it will stay until it is dismissed, aiding to its relatively high Star Rank. You cannot recast it to catch new people in the same dragon. You can however cast a new dragon, but that means twice the upkeep in HE.

Well, voting and ideas will last until 19:40 pm BST, if a decision isn't made by then, I will be rolling for it.

am voting for the dragon, we currently lack restraining capabilities in general and even on 1v1 its damn good with its damage

You need something in the event you encounter a Moon-Slime on the ground, so you want to buy a Water Skill. You head right next door and look at the list. Almost all of them are attack Skills. You choose Rain Arrows. It is scale-able to any situation, and has multiple avenues of evolution.

You are joined by a small team of Darkness users in the ranges of 4-6 Jewels each and are lead to the tank of a very large Archer Fish, which apparently uses the Skill to deter any attackers, and to kill enemies who enter its territory.

You go close to the top, and the Darkness Element covers the entire thing from head to tail fin, paralysing it and stopping it from attacking. Time to go.

>>3747750
Well there is a lot more to learn and consider, like which front will you initially be stationed in the event the attack happens on a day not on the funeral. Protocol if you come under fire. Details which you need to know in order to work better. This army runs on Life Element users being there for them and always knowing what to do, you know first aid and can revive people.

>Go work with the Space Force: Life division.

You think Jessica may have a point. So you head on over to the same place as last time, and start to ask a few questions and details.

You will be stationed at the border to the Wastelands, normally only those with 4 Jewels at a minimum can go there for military deployment, but considering your Resurrect Skill, they think it important that you are there to help.

They also tell you that in the event of any attack that comes too close, you are to retreat. Do not fight. You will be entering the Wastelands, you will die. You are also introduced to the name of your General: "Shuan-Bo", an Upper Level Zong Stage Life, Water, and Nature user, an experienced doctor, and will be held responsible. Your direct superior during the attack is any one of the nurses or doctors on hand, followed by head command, who will give you information by use of Wind Skills. You will be given a Light based flare gun to use in case of an emergency you can't handle, or in the event you think you will die. Replies to commands from the Life division will not be prioritised.

It is to note, that the Hunters, namely the Central Hunters, will be joining the war efforts.

They tell you that more will be told to you, such as general procedure during war, and what to do, through the post. You are told to report to the mass graveyard again.

You go there, don your Angel of Death set, and proceed to go through another 153 people one by one.

>Apply Saint Buff to a stat upon contingency trigger
>We'll decide when we get there.

After doing that, you realise that not only does the Skill cost less, but you see a change in the colour, it becomes like a rainbow, shining bright. You look at the colour wheel, to see the cross surrounded by 13 Stars. You stare at it in disbelief. Skills only went to 12 Stars did they not? You think asking the King would be a good idea for the future.

You are dismissed by the doctors. They don't want to hang around a graveyard any longer, and they have nearly 200 people to re-home. So they tell you that if anything you should come back tomorrow. They give you 500 Gold for your continued services in helping the rest of these people, encouraging you that researching your Saint Element will help prevent future deaths, all though not all of them.

With your new additions, you think now is a good time to do your job. So you head off to the ballistics division, only to not find her there, and to see her instead a ways off in a private cultivation room. Apparently she broke through to the 9th Level a few days ago soon after your duel. Huh.

You knock on the door, and ask is she would like some Heavenly Energy Control teaching, and that before, you wanted to show her something. You don't see her bodyguards, they must be training.

"Hmm? Sure. Hey, Uh, I heard from...someone that you won't be here in the Palace in about 4 days; mind telling me why? I mean, there will be an attack any day now, and I want to be there to protect you when it happens. I can't really do that if you leave."

"Oh gosh I'm so sorry. I-I don't know what I would do without my mum. Can you revive her? Can I do anything?"

"No, I've been trying to distract myself with work and training, it doesn't feel real at the moment, and since she died from old age resurrecting her now won't do anything, I'll just make her suffer."

She gets up and hugs you for a bit. Head on your neck, as the two of you get older, you are slowly growing taller than her.

"Do you think I can come? I want to be there for you, always. It must be a long way from here, your old home."

"Yeah, but I got something to teleport me back in an emergency, so it should be OK. I have a best friend there too, so I won't be entirely alone, everyone there is my family, even gave them my old Cultivation Tools. So even if I can't help the Mama. I helped someone."

"Male or female?"

"Huh?"

"Your best friend."

"Male, he is training as an ambassador for the Dershwa Clan. Why do you ask?"

"No reason. Can I come? I want to see your family, you've seen mine."

You don't know how to feel about this, you haven't really gotten over the news, yet she wants to just straight out asked, her fire-like nature is really starting to show, flickering, she wasn't invited, but she is a member of the Royal Family. That could be good for Song. You would be glad to have that support, and there is time to ask for another teleportation tool if you are sneaky about it, you're not sure if her Father would consent.

"Yeah. Make sure to wear something appropriate, the place is kinda poor. I'll be coming in my uniform. I'll be leaving in the morning so just find me then okay?"

"OK. Is there anything else I need to be worried about?"

"I'll get you another teleportation tool under wraps. If people ask who you are. Tell the truth. Lairs are not liked and we know when to keep secrets. I didn't ask about food and stuff, but it'll be fine."

You need more time to think about what to bring, and what you'll do to remember her, but you don't like talking about it, not now at least. Time for a distraction.

"To make a more happy moment, let me show you something."

You let her go, and summon your two pieces of Consolidated Equipment, the black and gold hilt, followed by the breastplate, each with a Jewel.

"Woah! Uh I mean. Congratulations?"

She looks at the glowing gold Holy Sword, the Holy Power shimmering.

"What does it do?"

"Well, you know I can increase other people's stats with my Saint Element? This currently allows for an 8 times increase, instead of the 2."


"Wait, with only two pieces? I can get a 4 times multiplier with my Stamina burn, no way is that fair! That's it! I'm going to see Shao after this! Teach me!"

"Before that, hold out your arm. I need to do something."

"Hm?"

You use Resurrect, the rainbow glowing cross appearing on the palm, and you touch it to her arm. The Saint Element pours through her body. Strangely, you feel like the Skill almost reacts with something in the air, but that can't be right.

"There, if you end up in a sticky situation, that should help. Now back to work, with enough Heavenly Energy Control you might be able to burn excess Stamina naturally, so it should make it even more powerful."

"Hmph. All that power with one of the Great Elements has gone to your head!"

You see her holding her arm with her other hand, where you touched her with the Skill. After beating you, then breaking through, then realising you are still more powerful, she must feel pretty disheartened.

"Keep talking like that and I won't teach you anymore."

"Whatever Mr Angel, how's that blond hair working out for you?"

After talking to Shara, you realise that this could become a serious problem. Is it your age, your cultivation is too strong for your body to handle, and it just changed it to make it more compatible? The King doesn't seem to show any signs like this.

You put your foot down and tell her to start to meditate, and you help her establish the control over structure one needs to use their Element in fun ways.

>Roll 1d100+25 for teaching and Heavenly Energy Control training, best of three. You will also have the choice of stat to train from after this.

>Critical Failure! You make no progress, and Jiang makes very minimal progress!

You see her try, and you try and explain it, but nothing seems to work.

"Zou. I think the good news someone so graciously told me is affecting me. What next, you gonna buff my training skill or something?"

Now that's an idea.
