The air is heavy with the stench of death. The soil is warm with freshly spilled blood, your blood. Your eyes, your ears...all blank. Your body feels so distant and broken with mere twitches here and there. You can only taste your failure. What a horrible mess you have gotten yourself and others into. Your right arm still lingers above, like a hapless sprout waiting for salvation that will never come. Why are you still trying to reach for the blood-soaked skies?This is your unmarked grave, Lie in it. You deserve it.

You doomed us all.

Thanks to the anon who posted this for me. Just a quick note: I am not the OP and sadly I can't post images.

Hello everyone, this is a not!persona quest based on one of my previous quests. I was torn between either SMT'ing it instead but I think this is more streamlined for quests.

As usual, I will have my spin on it so it isn't 100% copy-paste.

Here is a link for the discord I have made for this quest, you can join if you want to stay updated and such : https://discord.gg/M7ApXwZ

Another dream, all of that Moon dust in the air is messing with your mind. What time is it? 10:30?

It is close to midnight actually, you took a peek outside through the window. So this is Cairth , huh? Your new life starts here, for better or worse.

The bus was practically empty by the time you reached the station. You didn't have a lot of luggage on you since you were poor as dirt...your foster dad tried his best to provide a decent life for you. Now, He's-

"You gonn' move sometime? Gott' end my shift, you know" the gruffly voice of the Greenpatch Orc driver brought you back to reality. It's that Moon Dust again. At the very least, your academy should cover up the whole procedure. This is going to be a pain...

Not wanting to argue with him,You left silently. It was a long trip from home; you kept hopping from one bus to another. The driver blasted off the moment you took what little belongings you had. So much for a warm wel-

"Shitty K'lael! Phewt!" You were sucker-punched to the ground by someone bigger and stronger than you. An adult? You can't tell. Everything was blurry as you were too dizzy from this cheap blow.

"Check the pockets..." It wasn't just one guy, at least three or four guys stomping around you like some kind of a sick ritual dance. Their hands were stripping you clean.

" Enjoying your stay? Humans and other lesser races don't belong here, _____" He must have read your ID card. Your name....what is your name?

>Johann Fol [Male]
>Josephine Vol [Female]

They could spend all night beating you up but they will NEVER EVER get their hands on that one thing you had. You immediately sprang back to life clutching to....

You had this old relic for five years now. It was perhaps the first time someone showed you a hint of kindness after hopping from one foster care to another. You won't just hand it over to Mr. bumfuck and friends.

Your determination however wasn't enough to keep them from stealing your phone. Once they got it, they started to kick you down. Wasn't the first it happened, won't be the last.

'Just take it' you told yourself as you curled up like a little maggot. This is nothing compared to what you had to endure in your early childhood.

"Take that!"

"Fucking Mudskin.."

"Alright!"

"Knock his te...ou..."

Their words began to drift away from your mind. No, you aren't blacking out just yet. This feels...different. Like a lucid dream that keeps looping.

"...!" Your peripheral vision caught one of the two moons...bleeding? Is the moon dust really taking its toll on your mind? It only lasted for a split second.

"Hey! HEY!" As Your body was getting numb from all the beating, You heard someone coming closer. Two of them in fact, One started to give chase to bumfuck and his buddies while the other checked on you.

" Hey kid, You 'ight?" An orc police officer? now that's rare. Elves across all city states are usually pretty picky about these kind of delicate jobs.

" 'ere, 'ere." You leaned on his shoulder to stand up.

"They stole my phone." You can't loose it, you just can't.

"don' worry, my partner will bring it back."

Minutes later, His elven partner arrived panting and empty handed " They...got away."

" yo' serious?"

" You want me to chase four suspects in the middle of the night? Let's just call a day."

The elven officer didn't pretend to care, pointing his slender finger at you " YOU let them gang on you? The pride of Cairth won't be around every corner to save you. Gonshak, we are leaving."

"Leavin'?" He took off his red tinted glasses, eyes burning with anger "What abou-"

"I am not going to spend the rest of the night filling a full report on something trivial as this." He turned his attention to you " You are past curfew, Human. Show me your S.S.C."

Ah yes, Social status cards. The elven way of controlling other races "They stole it for me."

"I have been in the field for twice your age. You think I will fall for it?" Suddenly you found yourself getting handcuffed.

" 'old on. You have time to arrest him but you ain't go time to file a report?! You jus' saw him gettin' mugged!"

The elf made sure the cuffs were tight " Got something to say? Say it, Gonshak. You job is on the line you know. All it takes is a single talk with the chief and you'll be back living in the Sanda again."

You can tell that he orc was restraining himself from saying or doing something really stupid.

You know damn well when to keep your mouth shut. Always bend your knees to the system, doesn't take a genius to figure that out.

"Huh? It...raining?" a drizzling pitter-patter from above. Is that...blood?! This is too real. No way the moon dust in the air could scramble your brains like that.

Your eyes darted to the silent skies. Nothing, it was the moon who kept trickling blood "The moon! I-it's bleeding! It is raining blood!"

"What yo' talkin' bout?" Officer Gonshak was confused, totally unaware of what is going on. Same with his cocky partner.

"Under drug influence too? I'll add this to the charges."

"PLEASE LOOK, THE FUCKING MOON IS-" You couldn't finish your words, the very own world was in a state of limbo. You couldn't move a muscle as the moon kept pouring torrents of blood until everything was red.

1/2
>>
>>4228955
All the slouching sea of red was gone, replaced with some sort of a hellish wasteland. The skies are red without any moon or sun. Is this Cairth?

Impossible, you are dead. That gotta be it. You had a solid kick to head and started spazzing out in real life. This hell and the cops coming to save you are the byproduct of your half-head brain. This is the only explanation possible to pretty much everything around.

But why is hell a bunch of ruined buildings clogged up with gravity-defying blood? This is too scary. You can't comprehend what is going on.

Whispers, you started to hear a lot of them around each corner. Shimmering red eyes glowed in the shadows.

You dashed like a madman, wary of the gleaming eyes chasing from a distance. Just when you thought that you are in the clear, a wicked mirage of floating eyes stopped you right in your tracks. This....thing kept starting at you as if it is amused by your presence.

You on the other hand kept crawling away, your sweaty palms trying to reach for anything to defend yourself with. It is either fight or flight with that weird hell spawn.

Floating eyes? Yeah right. You are out of here.

Except more swarms came out of their hidey-holes ready to kill you. A swarm somehow concentrated a fiery beam at your chest. The searing pain caused you to collapse on the ground. You could practically see your charred bones. Every breath you take is filled with agony.

"You won't die here. Not yet."

Out of nowhere , a skeletal-cyborg demon with a simple 'FUCK' on its forehead sliced the myriad of eyes with its flashy katana. It dropped something sticky on you which healed you instantaneously.

"Get up, prove to me that you are worth saving, human."

You grabbed the rapier, It felt awfully light. You can't fully describe it but there was a strange power inside it.

TUTORIAL No.1
「SKILL WEAPONS」
-Skill weapons are one of the weakest set of weapons in term of damage output
-They have high crit rate and they increase your dodge chance as well
-Upon landing a crit, you will automatically dodge the next attack except from Moonless attacks.
______________

"This is great." You took stabbed the air with vengeance to warm up but before you know it, they attacked you first.

>Wrathful eyes A used red beam, causing X damage!
>Wrathful eyes B used red beam, you DODGED it

You clutched your chest expecting them to pierce your chest....but there wasn't even a scratch on you. Why do you feel nothing?

"The rules of the MOON WORLD are different from yours, you will grow accustomed to it in time. Now finish them off!" said The FUCK cyborg.

"Oh, I will see you soon then."

"Wait! I have so many questi-" The same limbo enveloped this world, the waves of red had reformed everything back to its normal form.

You were still handcuffed but this time you were on pinned on the ground. It was the ORC who was cuffing you "The 'ell you think you were doin' kid? A white weapon? You really wan' kill your future?"

"What whit- oh fuck..." the rapier was right there next to you. The elven prick was searching the rest of your luggage. How could this have happened?

"Yo' what?" the officers were having none of your made up taurshit. Just before getting in the car, you saw a purple skinned elf with silver long hair literally galloping towards the officers.

Is this your new guardian? She spent nearly half an hour going back and forth with the policemen until the Gonshak uncuffed you.

"Never 'igured you fer a fencer. Too scrawny for that." He scratched his chin, still highly suspicious of you.

"Aren't rapiers a little less pointy in contests ?" Ah fuck, the elven officer is onto you. Elves love their fencing.

Your recent warm up combined with hundreds of hours of televised fencing (didn't really had much of a choice back then) were crucial in faking your fencing career in front of them.

"Lacking elven grace, as expected."

"Is he good to go, officer?" asked the woman.

"Hmmm...." The elven police officer was thinking of someway to fuck with you "He must join the fencing E.A and win against an S-ranked elven student by this semester. Then , I will drop charges."

"Come on, H-"

"Those are my terms, " He pulled his transmitter close to his mouth as his grin grew from one ear to another "I am one word away..."

"Yes, officer. I will make sure the match is recorded." Looks like you are in the deep. Shit.

"One more things, I want you two to go to the Police station tomorrow. Can't have a human without an ID and a S.S.C. Bring pons for the fine. You should take responsibility of his shortcomings"

"And? You got a lot on your plate buddy so...." He came closer to your ear "...don't fuck with us."

"..." The orc officer didn't say anything. Only a sigh has escaped his mouth as he rode away with his partner leaving you and your guardian all one.

"I am so so sooo sorry." Someone is being genuine for once "They told me you would arrive tomorrow. I knew something was wrong!"

She showed your the message on her phone, checks out. Heh, they wrote your name wrong. Wait....some of these descriptions are also wrong.

que? you mean the discord thing? i am not fond of discord either but it is the most convenient place to ask for someone to post images for me since i can't do it myself.
My other alternatives are:
-Posting on qtg begging for some random anon to do it for me. Pretty sure i will both keep eating post and annoy the hell out of other anons there
-just posting the link as it is here which might be labeled as spam and is also pretty lame.

You never met your real parents so you don't know exactly where did you get your hair/eye colour from. Personally, You like to think that you inherited your dad's messy brown hair and your mom's emerald eyes.

Your guardian cleared her throat, both of you had a lot to say. She started first "I am your guardian, Miss Yuniscxa." You had no idea how to pronounce the last part.

" Yuni works too. I run a small Dorm for ...special and bright kids like you!" She sugar coated it; obviously she meant something else. the whole situation was unsalvageable from both sides. Her eyes were already all over your new bruises.... bruises? Oh yeah, you got beaten to hell and back [literally]. They are not hurting you though....

"Why did the elf police man tried to screw me even though he saw me getting beat ?" You asked bluntly.

"Cairth has centuries worth of bad blood and hatred between elves and other races." That wasn't new, you have been in Nileth. It wasn't THAT bad.

"Our city-state is very different." She stated " There are some laws that...." She was running out of nice words at this point "You'll face a lot of bad close-minded men and women like him backed by the law or a seat of power. Don't try to stand up against them..

You will lose."

That last bit was more of bitter tone in it. She too was helpless; her kindness does little to alleviate the supposed rampant racism in this city state.

"What are we going to do with the whole cards and stuff?" They will do everything to squeeze every last bit of pon on you with their ridiculous fines.

" My pon situation is really tight these days." she looked the other way, quite ashamed from her statement " I intended to throw a little party for you and the Dorm for the new year and all..."

Her eyes were alight with determination " but I won't let anyone harm the future of any child under my supervision. You'll be safe. I promise you."

Calling off a whole party just for you? Shit, you going to be under a lot of heat if someone finds out. It doesn't feel right being a burden like that right away.

"Now how did you get that rapier past the checkpoints? " That was a good question that you didn't have an answer for; you were searched thrice on the bus alone. They take security very seriously.

"I-Nngh.." You saw it again, a single moon bleeding in the skies for a few seconds before returning to normal. This one really hurts, you could feel a sharp pain in your head.

"John, are you okay??"

"Huh?" Miss Yuni glanced up at the skies "Looks normal to me...oh, is it the Moon dust? Are you sensitive to it? Did you take your shots?"

You shook your head, she doesn't see it like the police officers "Let's go home."

_________

Your guardian had a small crappy car which took her a few minutes to get it running. The engine kept hissing and purring and the back seat was almost non existent. Yep, She isn't swimming in pons...that or she had other more pressing priorities than fixing her car/buying a new one.

The streets were mostly empty at 2 AM, you saw a healthy mix of overflowing garbage and rats nibbling through their filthy treasures. Old crumbling buildings watched over you silently as you passed by them.

"This is our home district: Koris. Named after...a..human! Isn't that great?" Something in your get tells you that the elves had their reason for naming this rundown district Koris.

Miss Yuni kept flickering the radio trying to turn it on. Ah, Some news.

"-is our monthly F'teethiem. Make sure to grab any delicious elven snack folks. We got seventeen orcs , two humans AND a centaur all sentenced to-"

"I-I am in the mood for some music. Ooh, Soft Arachni rock.." The elf almost unscrewed the loose dial when switched the channel

The elf began to tap on the steering wheel before lowering the volume " Its.... a televised public execution for dangerous non-elven criminals. All elves enact their 'state-wide council' rights by..."

She fell silent for a second, her words were trapped in her throat for a while "...voting for a preferred method of execution."

"Oh, I-i.." you caught her off guard with your question " I like Radio World, the channel we are already on. It broadcasts all colours of music. I am sick to death of classical elven..."

"Me too." It was perhaps one of the few post-revolutionary cultural remnants of forgotten age were all the elves were ruled by a high king. Still, some city-states ban classical music all together saying it is too 'Royalist'.

_________

"There we are, Tenfaro street, home sweet home!" You were amazed by the contrast between the dorm and the rest of the surrounding buildings. So that is where she spends her pons on; A stylish, modern walled off building with a small garden.

"Woah..." you didn't know what to say. This was amazing.

"A friend of mine in Nileth helped me to design this place. It used to be a pixie drug den, can you imagine?"

Everyone was asleep at this time so you two had to tip toe inside with your light luggage. The building consisted of three floors, first one was had the kitchen, lounge, storage room while the second was the girls dorm with the last floor belonging to the boys.

"This is your pod." She had to be efficient with every bit of space she had to accommodate so many students "What do you think?"

"Glad to hear, See that button?" she pointed at a black button a the corner of your pod " Intercom, Don't hesitate to call me, alright? I'll take the rapier, we don't anyone to get hurt."

"Got it. " You couldn't argue with her. At least you still got your sweet 20 pons. You said your good nights before unpacking what little you had in the luggage. Man, what a day.

Time to sleep

Oh, It is just a sea of blood aaaad you are drifting off on your bed. Ruined skyscrapers stood as long forgotten pillars. No ominous moon in sight.

She smirked " I didn't do anything, you yearned for the moonworld. Your mind did all the work. A good sign for what is to come."

"This is too confusing..." suddenly , something bumped your bed "W-what is that?"

" A weak shadow, a ravenous one too. You smell mighty delicious ..." She licked her lips "Too precious to kill right away. Unless you prove yourself to be a failure...then I will have no use for you."

You rapier immediately materialized before you "What the.."

"The Moonworld saw you with that rapier before, it doesn't care about other laws imposed by your world."

"Goodness, you are a thick-skulled idiot. Here comes the bite..."

"What bit-"

> Terror Horse from the deep attacks, causing 4 damage [16/20]

" Our target practice is too shy to come , why don't you flush it out?"

"With what, wishful thinking?"

The Cybergirl rolled her eyes " Yes,Your weapon, believe in it and it will carve a path to victory for you."

This sounded like total taur but for some reason, your weapon has imbued you with more power. You felt like you could chop that sea of blood in half.

"Not bad." She took a graceful leap to a wall of debris nearby "Follow me..."

It was difficult to hop from your bed to safety without splashing your clothes in thick blood. The Cybergirl stood above a dilapidated temple almost fully sunken in the muddy soil.

"You are showing great potential."

"Is that a compliment?"

"Don't get too cocky." She readjusted her katana " I can still kill you, eyes closed and hands tied."

You gulped, she means it probably with her feet tied too " Your physical training is almost done. One session left and you will be rewarded..."

The temple began to sink further in the ground "It is time to leave...Hm?"

Way up in the horizon, you saw a colossal structure rising from the ground plunging the barren land in endless dust.

You felt a tight grip around your waist as the dust storm was bound to swallow you. The next moment, you find yourself on top of radio tower carried by the cyberdemon like a rag doll. The dusty winds would have shredded you for sure.

"You are not still accustomed to crossing between worlds. Everything you do in one world will affect the other. Now go..."

...the strange shift that happened. First it was the elven cop who cuffed you but when you came back, it was the orc. Did you caused the blood sea to flow?

"Can I ask some questions now?"

"Hmph, You are running out of time. " She considered her option "One question only."

"Who are you an-"

"I used to a special shadow born from the mind of a powerful entity. Yes, I used to be mindless and dangerous. Like my other sisters, I killed countless people in my original form. I was....following my instincts." she didn't have a grain of remorse in her words.

"My current master has rendered me Moonless, He stripped me of my original powers and used me to find the likes of you."

"Likes of me?"

" 'The ones who will save us from ruin' were his words. " She looked down below, the wind was starting to calm down a little " He died not too long ago and I am still bound to serve him and in turn prevent ruin to claim your world. "

"This is getting way too apocalyptic for my taste. You are telling that i am some kind of a chosen one? Pffft."

"Your opinion doesn't matter. You die, I will find another worthy of the MOON ARCANA."

"AW FOK!" Someone forcibly opened the pod's door. An mixedpatched Orc with blue and green skin and strong upper body wearing an awful flashy T shirt. He was roughly your age "Yo Okk???"

"Hey man, what the F-" Then you noticed it. Thick black blood leaking from your right side.

" Sur', LAZA YUN, LAZA YUN..." Laza means blubbery/fat lady in orcish, an honorary title believe it or not. "Lean o' me."

Miss Yuni rushed upstairs, She almost had a heart attack seeing you all bloody. In a flash, she removed your shirt after grabbing a first aid kit only to find nothing. No bite from an underwater horse.

This....looks bad. You never saw here so angry, so furious. Not at you per se. She gathered EVERYONE who were equally puzzled as you are "Children, these are very hard times for both you and myself so I will demand nothing NOTHING but honesty....did someone pull a prank on Johann? I trust each and every one of you, I won't punish you so speak freely..."


Naturally, no one knew anything. There were no cameras anywhere in the dorm to confirm or to deny her suspicion. Your Guardian took a deep breath apologizing to the rest of the student.

"I am sorry I doubted you all. From the moment he arrived in our state, this young man had only face injustice by none other than our police force! I am sure many of you can relate." Surprisingly, the grudge against the police force was there alright between the students.

"Change of plans: We will start that party tonight!" Well this came out of nowhere.

"For real?"

"Come on Miss Yuna, keep your pons."

"BEST.MOM.EVER."

"Hell yeah! PARTY PARTY!"

"AWWWW YEEAH!"

There were mixed reactions, most of the students were overjoyed with this but some were concerned abut the Pon situation.

After taking a quick shower , Miss Yuna wanted to speak with you and the Orc.

"Here," She had a load of pons for you "The police did this to you, This is unacceptable. I'll handle the paperwork, Bogza can show you the way around the district. You two have fun..."

"But uuuh, I am buzy Laza Yun. You know...."

"Ahhh, I remember. Can you have fun alone, Johann?"

"I..."

"Oh,oh. there is a massage parlor down the street, that Dyrad makes wonders with her oils and fingers. You can buy some spices for me too."

>Just give me the pon and we are done.

"What's wrong?"

"I can't let you out. You will get in trouble without your ID and S.S.C. I am sorry, I tend to be carried away sometimes." She explained.

Welp, you won't go anywhere today, not until Miss Yuni deals with the police shenanigans. What was the name of this place again? Gladefall Dorm, Tenfaro street. Got it. Checking out your new home might be a good idea since you are stuck here and all.

TUTORIAL No.7
「TIME」
-You can perform 1-3 actions per day
-Certain smaller actions like reading a newspaper won't take the full evening for an example.
-You can go beyond 3 actions [like pulling an all-nighter to study] but you will start the following day with lesser actions AND your stats will be lowered in both worlds, you will be much weaker in combat.
-To avoid confusion the word [ACTION] will be written next to the choice which will consume your time
- Going to the MOONWORLD on your own Counts as 2 action. It must be done either in the morning or after school
- Your time in the MOONWORLD is limited, so use it wisely!

_________________

Your stomach growled in protest; all that shadow ass kicking from yesterday made you starving. Going to the kitchen it is.

It was huge, repurposed to have several students cooking at the same time. Modern appliances as well, huh? It is clear that your guardian is putting her heart and soul in providing the best living condition she could afford. Several fridges were stacked next to each other with...names on them. The electricity bill must be soaring , damn. Ah, so there is where you are supposed to store your foodstuff.

Aaaand your shelf is empty. Who would have thought.

"First day, huh?" The guy who owned the shelf above yours grabbed his cereal box "Check the common fridge, might find some leftovers."

"Thanks." The common fridge was the largest of them all with double doors and lots of shelves with a sizable freezer.

TUTORIAL No.8
「HUNGER」
-You must eat at least twice per day to avoid unwanted penalties in both worlds/
-You can: buy ready-made meals or ingredients to cook for yourself later or rely on Miss Yuni's random meals.
-Cooking mostly consumes an ACTION and rely on both Skill and Study
-Food consumed in the MOONWORLD will grant you an additional bonus like +1 Strength for an example. Results may vary.
-Miss Yuni's meals are either leftovers and a special meal. Special meals grants you bonuses in the normal world only. Your guardian has a greater chance to cook a special meal if she is in a great mood.

Damn, the fridge is almost picked clean. You found some leftovers at the very last shelf. Miss Yuni got her hand full with little time for cooking...that or everyone got the good stuff first. After heating it up, you had your meh breakfast outside.

It was amazing how the city state looked so different from up here; the dorm was built on a small hill. you can see in the horizon walled up districts with their soaring skyscrapers almost mocking what little infrastructure this poor district has.

Nileth had a similar district mainly for the non-elves but it felt much better. You don't know why you keep comparing two wholly different city states with each other. The seeds of revolution within every city state has sprouted its own set of laws, unchallenged by any higher authority.

The garden had a few beds of beautiful flowers with a twirly stone path in the middle. It looked really peaceful. An untouched paradise.

Right in the middle was a...sandbox? What is with this black sand and those white pebbles inside?

"Oh hello," A gentle voice called you from behind.

A Dryad.

Wooden horns, flowers and even fungus growing in their hair, bark skin (sometimes) and exceptionally long lifespan...that's a dryad for you. They are kind of uncommon to see in public. The elves are best buds with them then again who isn't? It is said that there is no bad dryad. All races love them. No exceptions.

This one was wildly different from what you have imagined; for one, He was too...small? He was way shorter than you which almost never happened with his kind. His horns were on the contrary way too long for someone at his age, He could easily stab someone with those bad boys. His jet black hair was short and kinda oily with a natural laurel of white lilies. He had a weird wooden mask obscuring everything but his red eyes. Finally, he wore a white formal shirt under his black vest and black jeans. What's up with his doom and gloom?

"Hi. What's up?"

"I would politely ask you not to pick any of these flowers." You finally noticed a small basket of gardening tools by his side and a couple of vacant spots in each bed. Someone must have picked them off.

>Why would I do that?

"Huh?" He was taken back by your question as if you said something outlandish or bizarre "Well, It is only me and Miss Yuniscxa who take care of them. She is busy so...."

"You want me to help you out?" you took the hint.

The dryad nodded , already wearing his gloves "I'll do the dirty work while you handle me my tools, maybe water the other side. That sort of thing..."

"Careful, this soil is special..."

「Mt. Galilu Star Soil」

Despite being considered to be one of the most fertile soils in the world , It is never used in grand-scale production at all. The Allmother dryad Galilu (Who is essentially now a 'mountain' of petrified wood) blessed/cursed the soil to only yield products if it is treated with love and care. It is almost exclusively used by other Dryads who already have a deep connection with nature.

Flowers are best candidate here with a unique aroma unattainable by other means. Fruits and vegetables will have this unique earthly taste to them, only palatable by other dryads.

+++ Sympathize [??? left for next level up]
+ Study [??? left for next level up]

It was a very slow process, the dryad checked every single flower, you swore you heard whispers behind his freakish mask. Still, it was a relaxing experience.

You really didn't do much though, pretty such you were there for his convince so he wouldn't have to take his gloves on and off every five minutes.

"Thank you, " said the Dryad as he dusted off his vest " I am Veishu. Too busy with the flowers to introduce myself earlier, such an idiot."

"Err, I am Johann. The police sure loves me." He winced slightly as You shook his hand, did you squeeze his hand too much?

"I never had problems with them, although..." He had something to say at the tip of his tongue "Never mind, Allow me..."

Veishu gently picked a yellow flower for you " A small payment for your work. The Starworn flower is a symbol of overcoming struggle. I think it is perfect for you." Your eyes widened; you already earned some gazes while you were working with him. Should you...?

-You gained an aromatic Starworn Flower

"Sooo, is this some kind of a custom?" you had to ask.

"Hmm? No, no. I wanted to give you something in return. Humans love that, no?"

"I guess? Not just humans. Everyone does that."

The Dryad might have smiled under his mask "Yes. Do you have the Khat-Mhat app on your phone?"

"It was stolen , police didn't do shit." Fuck, that one hurt the most.

"Sorry to hear that."

"What's that app anyways?" you never heard of it.

"A chat app, very popular in Cairth. " Maybe you should install it, assuming that you will ever see your old phone.

"So you are going to tell me what is all about that black sandbox?" you were curious about this as well.

"It is a celestial meditation spot." he replied "Unlike most races who are influenced by the moons or the sun in their religion. We ...simply follow the stars and their brilliance."

"Everything and nothing. It varies from one person to another."

" Can I use it?"

"Sure, go for it. Anyone can reach Vakhashru." Now you remember what he is talking about. This Dryad 'enlightenment' is weird in concept stating that the whole universe exists in each and every soul with the stars being a link to the inner and out universe. Crazy stuff.

Your guardian has returned with her old car FULL of boxes. It party time baby!

Everyone was all hyped up, already setting the lounge for a huge celebration. Of course, your guardian had little time to speak with you privately about what happened in the police station. You'll have to wait until later this night.

"Ngnn..." It is that pain again stabbing you in the stomach, you went to the bathroom to wash when you found a sticker of a crescent moon oozing blood.

This time however, you COULD walk away. At least, that is what your gut is telling you. Should you though? The Moonworld will leave you exhausted, you won't be able to party with the rest if you went that-a-way.

Are you ok with pissing off a katana wielding cyberdemon?

She can wait. It's party time!

What's that beautiful smell? Thick, heart attack-inducing Orcish pizza? You'll be bloated after this!

「Gungob Monster Pizza」
+ damage/defense against Moonless Shadows

The Gungob food chains are all about normalizing monster meat which they did a pretty damn good job at it.

Colossal creatures slaughtered in mega structures, Exotic deadly creatures chopped up and fried...the ambitious Gungob doesn't care. As long as it tastes good , it must belongs to the grinder.

This particular pizza is more of a pie oozing with purple meat and strange spiky vegetables. The signature 'Gobeye' stares right back at you. It tastes like shit but that is the point.
________________

Miss Yuni didn't forget about the Dryads in the dorm who couldn't eat any meat. She brought them a special Ashen meals. One of the student even brought up his own video console for a mini tournament.

"Hows ma bleedin huma?" That orc from earlier gave you a strong pat on the back. You didn't get any chance to reply as he kept checking on other students.

Your first fight was with Eiela , she didn't stood a chance. That gave you quite the boost to you ego.

Your next fight was with that taurshit Hitbit who sniped you in the first three seconds of the match.

"SONOFA..." This was very unsportsman-like. Of course it was a smug elf who one shotted you.

++ Skill [??? left for the next level up]

Damn, It was the name that influenced your choice. That shrimp was a high ceiling character, you should have settled for a more defensive character.

You are still salty from the loss. Should you sit down and watch who will win?

It all boiled down to Hitbit VS Babooe surprisingly enough.

" Show him who's the boss!"

" Get him!"

"Vengeance for ONE SHOT JOHANN!"

They were cheering for the elf's opponent. You thought this was an underdog situation...

Oh boy, you were wrong.

The elf's opponent was a brown-haired human girl with large glasses who looked a bit older than you. Unlike you who charged right away, she took her time to whittle down hitbit's 10/10 stats. Next up, she went for hit and run tactics as the elf shrimp got weaker.

Babooe's speed shined here. At the end of the match, she was basically toying with the hitbit as he was too slow to catch up with Babooe. She finally finished it off in one strike.

"GG." She extended her hand but the salt on that elf was real, He went straight for his pod leaving his pride on the floor.

"Need any help?"

"Oh, Johann. Shouldn't you go to bed?"

"Come on, Miss Yuni. It is the least I can do.." Slowly but surely, the two of you removed all the empty boxes and cups. Lots of trash to be hauled outside too.

"Hooof, what a day." Your guardian slouched over the main couch, she practically sank under those comfy cushions "Those nasty police men won't bother you anymore. Here..."

+ ID card
+ S.S.C

"Wait...my social status was 0-C, why is it 0-F????" You are literally at the bottom of the social ladder. Only above convicts and other undesirables.

"My hands were tied. That was the best I could do." She must have been like you in the police station: powerless, unable to stand against this social injustice.

"T-there is hope! Many of your teacher in the academy are in a position to recommend you. Three recommendations and you will reach 0-E in no time!"

Miss Yuni sighed, she didn't have a straight answer to this millennia old question. It is not just humans, all other races are considered K'lael which literally means lesser /incomplete/unfinished races. In their mind, they are the 'superior' race chosen by the twelve moons to inherit the world. They probably had a fancy word for it that you are unaware of.

While other races were either driven extinct (in early history) or pacified by their high and mighty forces and ideals. Humans and orcs were always a wild thorn on their side. Unbreakable will and spirit for centuries to no end. Maybe that's why these two races are hated the most.

Still, with the glorious revolution breaking their mighty regal reign into independent city states, they had to 'modernize' their line of thought. Instead of K'lael being treated as slaves across their previous kingdoms, they now have 'rights' implemented in this humiliating social cards. Most elves now say that they are trying to 'guide' lesser races to their version of paradise.

What a load of Taur, to this day, some city states still practice slavery. They are using subtly in keeping their subjects under control. You are never going to fall for that. If anything, your life under their control taught you one thing: Hate.

Hate.

"Wha..." An abandoned bus which stretches for eternity? That's new.

"Attention all passengers: Please offer your happiness and dreams to us. Thank you for your cooperation." The speaker above your head was starting to become more and more distorted. Where is Mouten by the way?"

"Sorry for bailing on you like that." Your words echoed into the unknown. Is she trying to punish you?

"Attention all passengers: Please offer your ms toyourcoeration. Attemton paass passs OFFER plea-BZZZZZZZZZZZZT"

A horrifying claw burst out of the speaker, it almost peeled off your face in one swipe. From this tiny hole, a terrifying shadow with loose bloody flaps dangling from its back half-emerged. It had one pure intention: tearing you to shreds.

At this moment, the rest of the speakers broadcasted a mysterious voice which felt like dozens of men and women talking at the same time "You do not belong here. This Moonless fate, It is beyond yours...It will only bring pain and suffering to your world."

You were suddenly more concerned with that voice than the sharp-clawed shadow in front of you " Mercy I shall offer once. Let the beast strike you...you will return to your world unscathed and free from this cruel burden cast upon you. You will forget this world...you.will.be.free."

"Hmph, no match for me..." She sheathed her katana with style.

"Than-" you immediately took one hell of a kick to the belly "H-hey! What the hell?!"

"That's for ignoring my call AND for creating this small LABYRINTH."

You tried to get up but your kept clutching to your belly "Owww,w-what are you talking about?"

"The veil between our worlds grow thinner with each day. As ruin approaches, Wishes, twisted pain, desires, regret, guilt and other emotions...they all manifest here. Powerful beings can manifest what we call Labyrinth where newer shadows are born."

"I'll keep kicking you down until you take this seriously. What kind of urgency prevented you to come to me?"

"A...party?" Yep, you saw that kick coming miles away.

"You idiot! Ruin will claim us all if we don't act seriously!" Her fingers were itching to reach for her Katana.

The cybergirl helped you to get on your feet "We will continue this outside..."

After kicking the door open, you found yourself in a trippy landscape; webs of buses burrowing the ground and the skies. A wall of red eyed elves watches you behind a black fog.

"I-is this my labyrinth ?"

"Yes, a burst of emotion must have triggered it." You know exactly what happened. The whole S.S.C downgrade left you furious before going to bed.

"I don't like this place. Let's get out of here."

"We can't."

"What?" you raised an eyebrow. You can't imagine getting stuck here with these creeps.

"Why do you think it is called a labyrinth ? Once we are in, we can't get out. It must be leveled to the ground. My sister will give you the rundown..."

Oh yeah, she said she had many sisters. " Your physical training is more or less completed. With what I have seen, I can say you deserve the arcana...don't make me regret my decision."

"I want you to have this."

"What's that?" She gave you a small glowing shard which disappeared the moment you took it.

"It is an ability shard. I can't let you wander the moonworld without some form of protection."

"...Cuff him up."

"Check the pockets..."

"They stole my phone."

Various ramblings continue to echo through this labyrinth. You clutched to your head, leaning on a broken wall "I can't believe this is all me."

"You are too tired . We will make something out of later. Return to your world and come back whenever you are ready."

"But didn't you just said-" You felt it again, damn it, you keep forgetting that your time here is limited. Maybe only you can get out of here. You'll have to ask her later about this.

「Prepare for the new semester」
「Return to the Moonworld for your next magical training session」
______________________________

For the first time, nothing bad happened when you returned to your world. That's nice for a change. Still, the whole dreaming yourself into the Moonworld is very taxing. You should only go for it in the morning.

"Aww man, the common's empty."

"Give it a few days, Miss Yuni will stock it up." Well shit, no leftovers for you. Are you going to ditch breakfast?

>Ditch it, you are a rebel who defies social norms.
>beg around for someone to share their meal with you
>Go to the convenience store
>As sleazy as this may be, check on Veishu. He maybe willing to split his breakfast with you.

>As sleazy as this may be, check on Veishu. He maybe willing to split his breakfast with you.

>>4235979
You tried to look for the masked dryad but you couldn't find him. he couldn't have possibly left this early.

"Has anyone seen Veishu?"

"He is eatin' in his podda." an orc answered your question "Wordda advice new guy: Don't mess wit' him; he's kinda special, religious special thin' . Can't show his face."

"Thanks." Ahhh so that is why he is wearing that silly mask, you thought he had a medical condition or something. Makes sense for him to eat alone.

Welp, here goes your breakfast. Freeloading won't get you so far, you have to buy some food for yourself at some point.

Minutes later, Miss Yuni had gathered everyone outside for something important.

"Good morning , How was the party?"

"So cool!"

"Man, I am still stuffed."

"That is wonderful to hear, I hope you all enjoyed it because...." Uh-oh, here comes the bad news "...the council had just sent me an e-mail regarding our housing laws."

Every city state has its council (mostly elves with one or two token non-elf), the revolution taught them that a single individual can't have so much unchallenged power for himself. The council is no better; hand picked to further the agenda of certain groups, corrupt to the core... doesn't take a genius to figure it out.

"Starting from this month, I am obliged to increase the 'rent' from 1 pon to 800 pons... They wouldn't let me use this pon to improve the dorm."

"Whaaaa...?"

"You can't be serious!"

"This is crazy!"

A single pon? Your guardian was trying to cheat the system for your sake but looks like they got caught up with this. Damn greedy bastards.

That wasn't all " Most of you are aware of my financial status, It pains to ask for more pons but if you got some to spare, you can put it in this." Is that a donation box? You are not sure about this idea.

"I swear, every single pon will make our home better. It is either that or I'll have to take loans to sustain your lifestyles."

No, no, no...Elven Banks are literally the worst. Specially designed to exploit the hell out of you. Loans are basically a life-long debt chained around your neck.

TUTORIAL No.13
「DONATION BOX」
-At any time, you can donate X pons to better the dorm. Miss Yuni will purchase new appliances, revamp certain parts of the dorm...etc
-Doing so will increase your Sympathize [more pons=more symp.] and your ???
-You can check how much pons has been donate as well as a milestone for the next upgrade.

The students around you had mixed opinions about this "Morning, Johann."

The Dryad finally showed up "What did I miss?"

"..." He fell silent, opting to listen to Miss Yuni instead.

"...you will need at least a proper uniform and your study books. Juilan's is a clothes shop near the memorial. As for the books, I don't recommend going for Espara Grand Library...most of you can't enter this district. You'll have to settle with used books in-" The last bit barely came out of her mouth "-Alexad and Miet. they have a special student program if you don't have the pons for it."

"Isn't that old book store in Sanada?"

"This place is scary! I don't want to go there!"

"The smell alone makes grateful that I am not living with them."

Wow, everyone is riled up . What's so bad about this Sanda?

"There is a lot of you and my car is small...." She is not wrong. No way she could load it up with tons of book for everyone. It will be a tedious back and forth car ride for everyone involved.

Going with her sure beats public transport but you will probably have to wait a LOT between each trip. There is no guarantee that you'll go to both places at the same time.

Alternatively, you can go there without her help. Public transports will cost you but you will be able to round them up in one go. Skipping books on first day can be forgiven but uniforms? yeah right, good luck with that. This should be your top priority.

Wow, just wow. A single bus ticket is free for elves, 5 for dryads and 20 for humans and orcs. Centaurs and Arachni pay a whopping 60 due to their sizes, Talk about fairness.

At least you got to get a feeling of the Korbis district. It was still a shithole even under daylight; the rats still infest every corner. The first question that popped in your head was why there are elves here in the shittiest part of town? I mean, there can't be any place worse than this. right?

"....was found dead in her apartment. Our initial reports indicates that she... peeled off her face and carved out her chest cavity t. No signs foul play has been found so far..." reported the news anchor before switching to the weather forecast.

No one cared, their eyes were glued to their phones and books. You were the only one who was troubled by this; if this wasn't a murder then what could drive someone to kill themselves like that?

You left the bus right at the memorial. It was an avant-garde styled bronze statue of an elf wrestling with a crowned serpent with many heads, you are pretty sure this was dedicated for the victims of the revolution.

Juilan's shop should be right at the corner. There it is, sandwiched between two bakeries?It looked very old fashioned from outside with decorative pillars and what not.

"AND STAY OUT!" A human with a briefcase almost knocked you over as he was escaping the scene.

Here it goes, you entered the shop expecting the world. The interior had a very loyalist design with lot of antiques. Now how in the hell is this shop still standing? doubly so with a *human* owner???

Fashion was this guy's middle name; stylish brown hair cut, lots of golden piercings, bright blue and yellow [loyalist colours] clothes which are both adhering to a theme of nobility AND being trendy at the same time. He was holding a pair of scissors very aggressively as if he was about to throw them between your eyes.

"What do you want?" His voice betrays his look in a flash; way too soft. "Sorry darling, no bloody auditions for today. Come back later."

"Oookay, can I-"

" Johann."

"We're the Jay boys, WOOT WOOT!" He raised his fist in the air "I will be right back."

The man disappeared in the back room. You heard a lot of shuffling back there, he returned with three sets of uniforms; grey and dark red uniform, huh? Looks fine.

"Pick your poison." You had to pick one of the following:

Seesh, You barely got any pons on you. Your head was spinning. Everything was getting blurry around you...

A fit of cough confirmed that this is the workings of the Moondust not the Moonworld. You really need that shot ASAP.

"I'LL FAKKIN KILL HER, I'LL DO'T" Right at the memorial, An orc was holding an elven police officer as a hostage. Somehow, he managed to disarm and take her handgun. He was surrounded by fully geared police men really to blast his brains out.

"MOVE."

"GO.HOME." Other officers were trying to contain the situation from the pedestrian's side who were either recording it with their phones or simply watching what's happening. If only you had your phone.

It was getting late, your S.S.C doesn't allow you to go anywhere at night. Fuck...that means no bookstore, it is not like you have the pons to buy anything.

The F'teethiem was broadcasted live right now, most of the students were gathered around the TV. The orc hostage situation is a small fry compared to this popularity-driven execution.

"Sure, You can have mine. Its too spicy for me anyways." Don't count on their generosity, your luck will run out.

「Hellfire Kasishemi」
-30% hp, ++++ Attack

One of the infamous noodle bowls from the far east, Hellfire Kasishemi has over 20 spices. It is titular Kasishemi is a blue pepper horn almost forming a ring, it is called the 'One time meal' for a pretty good reason. On of the first really step into spicy suffering.


_____________

Oh god, your eyes , your everything is burning! No matter how many cups of water you drink, your throat is on fire. You didn't even eat the blue pepper!

"What's the matta? Bleedin Humie can't take up the heat?" you brought this on yourself by eating in the lounge.

Two choices: Chicken out, save your digestive tract from a blueish inferno OR eat the damn thing in front of everyone to assert dominance/have a really bad day tomorrow.

You REALLY shouldn't have done that. It all went downhill from here especially with you eating it one go. It was a gastric massacre, you kept coughing your lungs out for more than an hour. It was an episode of never ending pain.

Still, your stunt had proved that you ain't chickening out from danger. Too bad the rest of the students had their eyes glued to the TV instead.

You couldn't sleep, the pain was just overwhelming. Perhaps too much? You couldn't leave your pod, any slight move and your guts starts screaming.

You heard a knock on your pod "H-hey are you okay?"

"No..." You mumbled, still suffering in bed.

"I am SO sorry!" The girl who gave you the hellfire exclaimed "I checked the other package I bought and....I think it might have expired?"

"WHAT?" That explains a lot.

"I didn't know, okay? I kept ignoring it in the fridge, you saw me, I was about to eat it!"

Your are just unlucky, it could have been her suffering from the shits "I can''t move..."

"Don't know if you got food poisoning but here..." She gave you a couple of pills " This might calm your down a bit, you look very, very sick. You sure you want to go to the academy?"

"I *have* to, its own first day."

"We got a really good nurse, she saved my life last year! Terrible allergy, bad memories. She can fix you up." Well, that's good news for a change but your pain is too excruciating right now,

"R-right."

A few moments later, your guardian had arrived. She looked very, very pissed " How can you be so reckless?!"

"Didn't want to chicken out, oww..."

"High fever, abdominal pain, sweating..."She pulled out her phone "You are not going anywhere."

You were powerless to refuse. The elf had made a lot of calls; the nearby pharmacist, the convenience store but the one that lasted the most was the academy.

She verbally ate whoever was on the other side. You still didn't know what they were arguing about.

After a healthy dose of medications and actual non expired food, you were miles better than before. Your belly still hurts but it was more of a dull pain. You were stapled to the bed, If you went out there, your guardian will eat you alive. No one had arrived just yet, man you are missing a LOT.

"I never doubt the White stag, come on."

__________________

A few minutes later, you and Miss Yuni went to the White Stag which didn't look like a massage parlor at all from outside; just loads of spices in equally colourful sacs with a counter manned by a buffed up orc. That guy was ripped, what is he doing here selling spices?

You entered inside to a long narrow hallway leading to a reception room where a dryad was waiting for you. This dryad had long branching horns without a single flower, her hair was white and broken at the end in a fuzzy mess while her skin was pale and sickly. No masks, just a red eye and cold lips sipping from her mango-scented hookah while reading the news paper...on the floor.

" Miss Stag, I am very grateful for this. Thank you."

" YunYun, please" She had a distinctive raspy voice, probably from all of what she was smoking " You, with me."

" I will wait here, you two have fun." The dryad took you by the hand into a separate massage room. It had what you would expect : a shelf filled with all manners of ointments, two long massage beds and a TV.

"Take off your clothes, boy." She lit up a cig while tapping her foot. Her tone and demeanor was making you uncomfortable; she had this predatory aura around her.

"Occupied."

"That's cool, I can wai-"

"I don't have time for this. Take off your clothes." She was getting impatient.

Here it goes, the dryad showed no reaction as you were down to your underwear "Lay on your back."

The massage bed itself was kind of stiff, not what you were expecting. You really want your guardian to be around. She'll know if this White Stag did anything funny.

"Now relax..." You were all tensed up with your eyes fixed on her slender hands. Then, every single trouble in your mind has melted away...

It wasn't just the dull pain that was gone, her hands were a miracle on their own; she knew where to gently press and where to twist. A master masseur.

Your fifteen minutes of bliss were over before you know it " How do you feel? " She lit another cig.

>Like a new man

"Yeah, yeah...Thank Yunyun for that."

"I will." The dryad flicked her cig to the trash can. You got dressed and where about to leave when she stopped you grabbing you by the wrist. Her grip was surprisingly tough.

"Hold on , boy" She put something light in your pocket " Tell Yunyun I brought her the spices she wanted. Top of the line Dranian Roots."

"Sure." You had no idea what that was, Miss Yuni wanted you to get those spices in the first place back when she gave you the pons. You returned to your guardian bearing these special spices, her face brightened; they must be really hard to get. It doesn't come as much of a surprise that Elven corporations monopolizes all forms of industry. Another trick up their sleeves.

________________

Finally, everyone had returned to the dorm, They were all exhausted. No exceptions.

"Is Johann Fol here?" A centaur police officer was asking for you specifically. Centaurs are so huge in size, they often suffers from a lot of accessibility issues everywhere. Miss Yuni spoke with him first for a few minutes. When the coast was clear, She allowed him to talk to you.

"Gonshak says hi." The centaur pulled out an evidence bag with your phone and your wallet inside it "The wallet was...empty when he had apprehended the suspects."

You wouldn't rule out the fact that the cops took your pons. Still, this is huge; you got your precious phone back in one piece AND you got your S.S.C card. Wait, does that mean...?

" In case of emergency call 355. Gonshak wanted to give you his number. " He readjusted his visor " Our records says you still haven't done our Brand identification. You got two weeks."

+ Gonshak Contact.

"What *is* it?" No reply, the centaur was done with you. You'll ask Miss Yuni about this later.

You need someone to give you a recap of what happened today, who will it be?

You found the masked dryad at his pod surrounded by his books already studying, he got out of his pod to greet you " Evening, Yohann, how is your stomach? Elenna told me that she gave you expired food by accident."

"I got guts of steel, no biggie. " That was a horrible lie, sometimes, you impulsively lie like that " What did I miss?"

" Not much, lots of speeches. That's it."

"For real?!" You don't know who was unlucky today you or them. " Did they bore you to death?"

"I wouldn't say that. I found them to be very inspirational especially the principal's" That guy is out of his mind.

"What else?"

"Our academy has Leviarine herself! She made quite the speech today."

"I am out of the loop, who is she?"

"The youngest elven member of Project Lunis who researches the strong abnormalities around our twelve moons, She is in your class too!"

"Grow up, please." He was annoyed by your question " She is one of the most brilliant minds of Cairth and she is only 17!"

"My question still stands."

"...yes." The Dryad rolled his eyes "Hm? You found your phone?" It was peeking out of your pocket. Nice find.

"Yeah, one of the cops brought it here with my empty wallet. Can you give me a link to that app?"

"Sure," One thing good about this city state was its free internet and calls for everyone (technically, non elves had a generous limit per day but still)

After installing the app which had a greyish googly eyed ball for mascot , you added him to your contacts. It squeaked a chirpy sound when you clicked on it. Cute.

"Why did you spent all day in the academy?"

"Safety reasons, Two orcs were involved in two separate hostage situations." The media was too busy with their fucking killshow.

The masked Dryad gave you a quick rundown on the subjects for this semester, they were:

-Elven Language
-Elven History
-Elven poetry
-Botany
-Biology
-Luno-Astrology
-Home economics
- 2 E.A

"Tomorrow is the partnering day. I am not in your class but...I think I can be your partner in Botany since our classes join together in the same session." Well that came out of no where. Your time with him in the garden wasn't too bad but do you really want to partner up with him? Maybe your class is full of hot girls who are dying to be your partner....right?

"O-oh..." He left you hanging out of confusion " I am sorry, Should I touch your hand?"

"Yeah, It is a human gesture." Elves tend to avoid unwanted contacts. You'll barely get a hand shake out of an elf. In turn, other races are affected by this elven mindset unless they are in close community or in one those rare free cities under the control of a nearby city state. Orcs don't give a damn about what elves do though; they hug , kiss and fist bump like there is no tomorrow,

"Like this?" He gently tapped on the palm of your hand. Shit this is getting way to awkward...

The dryad took a deep breath before pouring his heart and soul into a bone shattering wave that has sent you to slap city! Not really though, It was pretty lame and weak. You had a feeling that he was being so considerate " We'll make a great team, you have my promise."

That's the end of that. It was a long day, you went to your pod after saying your goodnights. Time to sleep.

Speed over consistent quality is something I would be hesitant to approve of, but I like /tg/ speeds. Plus, there's something about the spic ESL writing that I find charming and genuine. Sure the errors and lack of details trigger my autism, but if I make myself overlook it all it becomes kinda nice. As long as you keep the quest's pacing nice and steady, and don't fall into the pitfall that mainline Persona falls into (after you clear whatever thing you got like Tartarus segments, dungeon clears, palace clears, whatever) you have all the empty time to wait until the next story thing happens at the set date. The sort of spin on that I would expect in a quest, the kind of thing SMT might realistically do if games had that much raw narrative flexibility, would be to have other pressing things fill the void once the big plot thing is cleared up for a time. Like another character's situation becoming dire, stumbling into some very odd side content that picks up relevance very quickly, etc. See, that's one of the biggest things I love about quests: Flexibility.

This is technically a slice of chicken on a stick. They why it is treated as a mouth watering candy?

Because an elf and his orc wife kept feeding their chicken those highly addictive Choco seeds to try to make their chicken more fertile/ Ironically their skin and flesh had a heay brown pigmentation afterwards and the meat was criminally sweet...too criminal in fact that the odd couple started a new franchise based on this happy accident. All of their chickens die naturally from heart diseases at the ripe age of four months.

" Yugza! I neve' partner witf an elf, nevah!"

"Yeah, you think they'll mess with you because. of how you speak?" Elves HATE the so called Vielvath'nsa or gutter/sewerspeak. It is a general term for all heavy-accented human language for non-elves. Human tongue is widespread throughout the world, it is very easy to learn and to understand, even the mighty elves have adapted to it. You are lucky you are not in some taurshit purist city-state were only elven is allowed. Seeing an orc speaking 'normal' is *very* uncanny.

"Let'em try, I'll bash their teef in." Someone is bold, perhaps too bold for his own good.

You ate the choco stick for breakfast, it was delicious and very sweet melting your mouth in mere seconds. Your heart starts pumping a little extra to deal with that bad boy. Will eating it in the Moonworld will have a different effect on you?

Garsis Academy
________________________________

The academy had a conveniently placed bus station across the street. It looked very old with two giant bronze Griffin statues. It had three large buildings and a spacious courtyard with really old stone walls? three watch towers? Just what this place used to be?

Anyways, The courtyard had several teachers organizing the whole partnering thing. 1st, 2nd and 3rd year students formed small circles while they were waiting for their class to be called. Bogza told you that your class was 2-C, you got him and that smarty Leviarine . The rest is unknown to you.

You couldn't see where that elf was but that blob of students gave her away; EVERYONE was trying to partner with her. Squeezing yourself there to meet her is nearly impossible.

Most of the elven students had their new books and uniforms, of course they began to make fun of those who are too poor for that shit.

"Whaddya say?!" Uh-oh, Bogza was picking a fight with an elf. Maybe it was the other way.

"I said learn more about personal space, muckskin. You look contagious."

The elf and his cronies said something behind your back in elvish. Whatever. Not gonna ruin your day for these assholes.

First up, your class was joined with 2-B. While cross-class patterning was encouraged, it wasn't mandatory.

"Good morning students, I am Mr. Strovosky Divanokich your Luno-Astrogology Teacher. Religion and Astral Sciences are one of the same since the dawn of history. I expect nothing but hard work from your end."

He sounded very strict, no-nonsense kind of guy, white hair, sharp cyan eyes, a black suit...that guy means business. Everyone was smothering Leviarine with requests, they're looking for an easy way out with her.

You'll have to be quick about choosing a partner. Obviously, not everyone will just stand there and wait for your holiness to ask them. You'll get a chance or two a best with each subject. Diversifying is important; sticking with one or two partners for all subject is bad for business.

「STUDY PARTNER」
-Most students excel in at least one subject
-Partnering with a student in the same subject they excel at while grant you a bonus in both your study actions and in the exams
-Partnering with the same student over multiple subject will increase your C.B with them [assuming they had a potential one with you]
>Ask Bogza if he wants to be your study partner
>Ask Veishu if he wants to be your study partner
>Ask Leviarine if she wants to be your study partner [ 5 study, 5 strength, 5 socialize!]

It took them a while to sort through both classes, Miss star student didn't choose anyone. She was forced to partner with a smug elf who got her when the teacher randomly teamed up undecided students with each other. That means you MIGHT have a slim chance with her later on.

".... Johann Fol, Naviesh K'trtra." It was your turn.

"Naviesh? Naviesh K'trta." No one was here.

Mr. Strovosky rubbed his forehead in frustration " Skipping second day...disgraceful. "

"She might be sick or something." you were on your first too. It is not that far fetched of an assumption.

"Wait.." Your teacher checked his list " She's a pixie. Can you deal with their volatile kind?" His voice became sharper, his eyes turned into heated slits as if her very name ignited a bad memory in his mind.


>What's wrong with pixies , sir?
>Nononono, I can't handle those guys. I want someone else
>Can't be worse than , you-know-who, right?
>Write in

" They are walking psychedelic time bombs." the very thought of them had him frown in anger " dozens of emotionally-controlled chemicals stored in their wings, face-slits and fingers. One single burst of emotion and they'll release those damn chemicals...mindless joy, murderous rage, animal-like sexual desires and even suicide. Those 'people' can cause that and more. Not to mention the underground pixie dust drug traffic, they are a disease to ANY society."

That's quite a stance against them. You haven't met them before but you had read something about a pixie-related incident in Nileth which killed about 500 people in a creepy mass-suicide.

"I am sorry, I shouldn't have said that. Very unprofessional of me." He returned to his previous tone " I'll have to speak with the principal about this. We need stricter measures to prevent any unwanted incident. Do you still want to be her partner?"

>No way in hell

___________________________

Next up was Biology, your teacher was sullen eyes and strong facial features with long blonde hair, he was sipping from a large thermal cup as he was checking the list. Very laid back altitude. Didn't all of their elven ancestral had a really freakish look? protruded facial bones and very long eye brows. Yeah, yeah, you remember seeing that in the history channel.

Your teacher didn't introduce himself, he just keeps sipping his coffee. Weird but okay. The class you were grouped with was 2-A. All of it were elves, sheesh. You really don't want one of these guys as a partner...well except for Miss special over there.

Time to choose a new partner.

"What do you want? " he wasn't supercilious per se but he still had this aura of lingering elven superiority around him.

"Can you be my partner? You didn't choose anyone , right?"

"Why should I?" His emerald eyes demanded some kind of proof from your end.

It felt awkward to do it without an actual rapier in hand but you did it anyways. Your time in the Moonworld had honed what little technique you had.

"Not bad. Which school are you training under? " Now you have piqued his intrest " Vivaldel? Don Sharqa? Western Habaash? "

"Uuuh... " You had no idea who is he talking about.

"Freeform?" You nodded "You have a hint of rare elegance in your moves. Nothing compared to my skill. No offense, of course."

" Look, An elven police officer put me up to beat an S-Ranked elven student in a fencing match and I need a training dummy." you just said it out loud.

"Rather a blunt way to put it." He wasn't phased by your choice of words " That man is truly cruel to pin you against the great four of our academy. "

"Great four?"

"Yes, Me , my sworn eight legged rival Qansous and the Regialeth Twins." Oh shit, an Arachni fencer? How does this work out?

" I'll help you to train up and dethrone dear Qansous. In return, I'll be your partner in biology. My father is a great biologist himself and he passed his passion to his youngest son. Does this sounds fair?"

" I am Kazeyrl Von Eztavaib III, you can call Kaz instead." He shook your hands with a grip of steel.

"Johann Fol."

" Just so you know, our deal is strictly professional. My politeness does not equate to me trying to be friendly towards you or anyone. I strive only for success, understood?" That's an elf for you...and you thought he would be different.

___________________

The biology teacher had a human name: Gabriel. This was really bizarre; elves takes naming very seriously. Anyways, he was very chill with you and Kaz. Very nice teacher.

It took you a while to find the bathrooms, you should have asked first instead of wandering about in the wrong building. It has been only only a single day and you can smell the familiar stench of piss. Typical. You doodled a quick moon on the bathroom stall. You are good to go.

You found yourself sitting on a golden bench with a ray of light showering you with warmth and tranquility. The area under the light had lush green grass, though you couldn't see them, you heard birds chirping in glee. The world around was still the same; supernatural bus snaking around in and out , elves obscured in a dark fog. The usual.


Once you stood up, the bench was claimed by pulsating veins rotten to the core. The grass was gone as well.

"Ugh, Another mortal, destined to fail." In the red skies, A topless shadow with conveniently obscuring long hair and a golden moon mask spoke. She covered her waist and legs with brown rags " My sister is so naive. Poor girl, trying to chase the dead dream of our master. "

I'm surprised with the emphasis on blood and moons in this quest so far that Water isn't an element. Blight being an element alone is... interesting. Causes the status "Leaded", like lead poisoning? Wind causing "Sickled", like sickle-cell anemia... but also sickle as in crescent moons? "Peeled" alone is an odd sort of status name, though it does fit literal radiation.

What do you guys think so far? Personally I think we should try to break the mold of "Persona protag starts with Fire or Elec", though there might be reasons for doing so anyway like those statuses.

"Cool, thanks. What's your name by the way?"

The shadow sighed, irritated by tone " Elpis. Now go, Hm? that flower.."

"What fl-gyaaah!" The dryad's Starworn flower was...glitching out? It kept shifting into many, many undefined objects. "Whatdoidowhatdoido???"

"Keep it, you'll find a good use for it later." Without any warning, Elpis had forced you to return back to the real world.

____________________

"Shit!" You bumped right into the stall's door. Luckily for you, no one was around. No blood either on you. Good. You still had a LOT of questions for the shadow sister but every damn time your time is cut short.

Anyways, you returned back to the courtyard just in time for Botany. Your class was grouped with 2-D. A lumbering giant of a dryad was your teacher, all of his skin turned to bark and his green beard reached his waist. Damn, he must be at least a couple centuries old.

" Hello...children...I am...professor.. Kosingsough, I..." Words barely came out of his wooden mouth. He had this fatherly aura around him. Oh man, he will probably put everyone to sleep at this rate.

You have already promised Veishu to be his partner. A promise is a promise ,right?

"Hey ,Veishu!" The masked dryad was in the middle of small circle of his kind. He looks so meek and small compared to them.

"You, John , c'mere." The largest of the bunched called you over. The three of them belonged to the other class " He's in our group. Find someone else for a partner."

"Yeah," the tallest of the trio stepped in with his fungus on his head swaying left and right "Beat it. He's a Verannshu-Magarti, He belongs with us."

The only girl in this group brushed her lushful green hair while checking her phone " Plenty of dumb orcs to choose from in our class so like go away or whatever."

"I-its okay, Johann. I will help you in the dorm with any botany homework." His eyes were glued to the ground, unable to meet yours or theirs.

"Do you want me to cave in your face?" The one with the gnarly horns and ripped body grabbed you by the sweater nearly lifting you from the ground.

"Tekvshku, please!" Veishu squealed, he wanted to physically intervene but he just couldn't.

"Muscling your way on merely our second day? I thought your group was all about peace and tranquility." You heard a familiar behind you.

"This is *not* your problem, Kaz. We're trying to protect our Verannshu-Magarti. "

"Oh? Protect him from what? bad human influence?" The elf had none of that shit " Veishu Nandrake, Was it? "

"Y-yes." The masked dryad replied.

"Religious figure or not, Veishu can make choices for himself. Neither you nor Johann can force him to do anything."

"But-"

"Please," His hawky eyes stopped them right in their tracks " We shouldn't escalate this further or do you want our venerable teachers to watch you trying to beat this human ?"

"Grrgh..." He let go of you, walking away with his friends in utter defeat.

"You shouldn't tangle with any dryad you see in our academy. Most of them are nothing short of religious fanatics." He whispered in your ears.

" I can't lose my asset so early. " He gave you a playful wink. Deep down, you knew he wasn't joking. You ARE an asset to him, nothing more.

When that was done, you and Veishu went to your botany teacher. The elder dryad was quite happy to see one of his kind partnering up with a human saying that dryads should break free of their isolationist mindset.

_____________________

Last but not least, Elven subjects [Language, history and poetry ] are grouped together so you would have to choose a partner for ALL of them from your class. Their teachers were with the principal at an important meeting.

Time to choose.

>Ask Bogza if he wants to be your study partner
>Ask Leviarine if she wants to be your study partner [ 5 study, 5 strength, 5 socialize!]

"Hey man, wanna be my partner?" he might not be the perfect candaite for anything elven but his friendliness will make up for it.

"I was botta ask you the 'ame!" he fist bumped you " Elf dis elf 'hat. why do we learn this shit??" Because our elven overlords wants to replace our identity with theirs, that's why. Of course, you wouldn't dare and say that out loud.

Home economics didn't have partners for some reason. Its teacher was also absent it seems. There were only two things left to wrap up this day: The two E.A or Academy sponsored working ads.

First up was E.A or Extra curriculum activities. They are in no particular order:

-Art
-Chess
-Fencing
-E.M.A [Elven Martial arts]
-Photography
-International Cooking
- Student newspaper
- Ollad [Elven Ball sport]
-Cheerleading [For girls only]
- Drama

You have to select 2 E.A with a third one in case there is no available spot for you.

Lets go balls deep in on all hobbies that might hone our combat skills for the Dreamworld/Contest. Even if Elves are irritating assholes, being skilled at E.M.A will help us kick their ass if need be.

Or at least not get our asses kicked.

You had to take Fencing , what follows though? that was up to you.

Cooking and Drama felt up your alley. All of those elven theatrics on TV had left you with a budding love for the stage. As for cooking, well, It is almost a necessity in your student life so might as well.

The only thing left in this slog of a day was the working ads, sponsored by your academy. Some were gated behind some qualification while others had none.

Working under an old orc janitor, huh? Well, At least you are getting paid for it. You can't imagine working your ass off cleaning shit and piss for free. You applied for the janitorial work, almost all of the elves ignored the part-time job. It has to be their pride; all of these jobs can be humiliating to them.

"Yo' Jonz! Wanna go back togetha?" No one called you 'Jonz' before. Eh, you are not offended by it; orcs loves to eat up their words afterall.

You rode the bus with him. Time to go home.

Everyone and their mother kept talking about that 'cool' judge sparing this one guy. You felt out of the loop.

"Who is this judge?" you had to ask at this point.

"Oh, you don't know? Are you new here or you don't pay attention to our internal politics?" That elf lady sitting next to you. was almost offended by your ignorance.

"He'z new , Laza." replied Bogza on your behalf.

"Urgh," She was offended even more by your orc friend " I'll put it in simple words so you can understand: The Council is the brains of this city state, while the Judges are the hands that..."

"...execute their orders without question. Judge Cidgeth is trying to appeal to the public, A horrible stunt in my opinion."

"Why?"

"He's young and foolish. You should be proud of him; the first half-elf to be titled a judge. He used his authority to defy the council, like in the old revolution days." So the public is more concerned about the implication of the act rather than the act itself.

"Sit down." Her room was pretty modest, half of it was dedicated to a pesudo-office with piles of bills and other sorts of Dorm-related paperwork. Your guardian was drinking some medicinal tea by the smell of it.

She tried to crack a smile but it vanished right away. You sat down on a wooden chair with a single arm, the other one was broken "What's wrong?"

"I..I went to the police station again with high hopes to revert your social status back to C. They didn't acc-no, they didn't want to. They lied straight to my face."

You almost forgot about this "Its my fault, If only we waited a day or two. Now you will suffer because of me. I keep failing you over and over.."

"They are not exclusive to your academy, You can find them elsewhere in any respectable establishment. It's another elven privilege." She went silent for a moment, quickly changing the subject " There is something else I wanted to talk you about..."

After taking a long sip, Miss Yuni opened one of her drawers pulling out a small plastic bag with a lot of pon in it " How much pon did you have before you were mugged?"

Before even leaving your pod, you could hear the scything winds from outside howling and rocking the roof. It is a good thing that you are getting your shot today, otherwise, you could wind up hallucinating on the streets. Only the elves are immune to Moon dust, damn.

Shit, You only got 3 pons and you don't have any food! Breakfast can be skipped but you must have at least 20 pons for your bus ticket! What are you going to do?

Walking all the way to your academy is plausible. In fact, walking saves you some time in several congested spots but it is a loooong walk like really, really, long. You are more likely to miss the first or the second class. This current weather isn't friendly either.

"...an official statement was released from the council yesterday. They express their 'Disappointment' from Judge Cidgeth's 'inappropriate' decisions. Nevertheless, they urges all citizens to stand united with the judges and the council for a better future."

"Wonder what else this judge will do?"

"The council is growing soft..."

"Cidgeth is a bae!"

Class: Luno-Astrology
___________

Your class was in the first building, second floor. While it was old compared to the second building, the statues and walls of the academy outdated them both. Since you are too poor for books, you'll be at the mercy of your teachers.

The desks in your class were arranged according to the race with elves taking the first few rows. That is totally fine with you; back seats are more of your thing anyways. No sign of that pixie, have you screwed yourself over by choosing her? Time will tell.

That buff dryad (who wasn't with the trio of yesterday) was eyeing Veishu was reading what you assumed to be some religious texts. The book on his desk looked pretty ornate for a school book. Meanwhile, That elven girl with a camera kept buzzing around in the class asking other students some questions, She had to sit down when you are teacher had arrived just in time. You felt singled out with every single student class having their books.

"Moondust, What do we know about them?" He had no time to re-introduce himself. He went straight to the point " You, The one in the back with messy brown hair, Johann.."

Shit, You are still fresh in his memory with all of that pixie talk " What is this strange phenomenon?"

"Your answer is insulting. You oversimplify things." That didn't sit well with him " Moon dust is the byproduct of our weekly lunar convergence where our two existing moons are dimensionally displaced by two other moons. This process, though still wildly unknown, grinds a little of all four moons related to the current convergence. Said dust get filtered in our atmosphere...sometimes It gets through which causes Moondust. "

"Whattza 'bout hallucinations?" Asked Bogza.

" Inhaling extra-dimensional particles is said to cause such effects. Feverish hallucinations about parallel universes similar to ours. We still don't have a solid proof of such worlds" Your teacher paused to drink some water " Elves have developed a special gland at the base of the neck which absorbs and neutralize all of these particles which suggests that their ancestors have been exposed to this phenomenon enough to adapt against it. "

Your teacher went on and on about these particles. It was hard to keep up with him. No homework or some boring essay to write. That's great.

The class ended just in time for break time. Just before you could leave the classroom, the elf with a camera blocked your path. Several students were behind you as well. She had short and fluffy black hair (unusual for elves) and a nice pair of fashionable yellow-tinted glasses.

"Quick question! What do you think of the Juuudge guy? He's half human who pardoned a human!"

"Who cares about politics! This is about my article! H-hey wait!" You were long gone at this point. Elves never stop getting full of themselves. No one got time for that.

BREAK
________________

With that said and done, you had to look for the infirmary. Who thought it was a good idea to put it in the third floor?? You only got 30 minutes until break time is over, luckily for you, there was only one orc in line.

" Nexxxt!" Uh-oh, that crackling voice... it could only mean one thing. You didn't wait long for the orc to finish his moon shot, he did come out grunting and cursing though...

"Neexkt!" Yep, your suspicion was true. An Arachni for a nurse; upper half is elfoid [with the exception of their freaky complex mouth structure and their eight eyes.] , lower half is a spider.

She was relatively small in size compared to her giant-like kin, long white lab coat, a dazzling amount of necklaces , a loose pink T-shirt and a lot of make-up. Sh had her silver hair swept over on one side while the other was almost full-shaven. Her spider half was black with a straight red line in the middle .

"Namkhe?"

"Johann Fol." She searched for your name in a long list. You couldn't help but to sweat a bit from anxiety.

"Haaave you been brakhnded?"

>Yes
>No
>Can just we skip this part?

>>4243146

"No, everkhy nonnn elf must bee branded. Sign here..." She gave you a what looked like a contract with lots of terms and conditions.

From what you understand, this is the whole 'brand identification' the centaur policeman mentioned. Whether you wanted it or not, you have to do it within two weeks.

The term branded is more of misnomer, It is more of digital tattoo drawn on any part of your body [except for your rear and genitals] for identification purposes. This tattoo can only be removed if you reached more recognizable social status. Getting branded will allow you to choose from:

-Getting free meals in the cafeteria
OR
-Getting free public transport [2 times per day]

If you chose to get branded on your forehead, your social status will increase by one level as well. The nurse had the tools for the job, you have to make your choice.

>Choose a site in your body for the brand identification tattoo AND choose your free privilege.

"Staaand stikhll." The sting didn't hurt at first but then you felt a very sharp pain in your wrist.

"Ow, What the hell??" It was almost sizzling, you took a quick peek at your wrist excepting a gashing wound or something.

Nothing of that sort, just a single elven word, maybe? It was ye olde elven so no way in hell you could read this.

"Done, noooow for your Moon shot." The Arachni readied a syringe with a blueish liquid, you looked the other way as she injected this bad boy in you.

"There we are...." Her eight eyes suddenly widened, all fixated on a small bubble of blood oozing from the injected site , She took a long whiff " That... smkhell...very, very unusual for a human. Are you on human-fly druggggs?"

"Pixie? Nope. I am clean."

She sniffed the air once more " Very, very unusual..." Her long fangs were suddenly drawn out, dripping their infamous nectar-like saliva.

"I-I am soooorry." She snapped out of it "Would you mind, donakhting a sample?"

" It issss probably nothkhing but..." She seemed to be conflicted for a moment " I'll tell you the results this weeek. Don't worry, we don't drkhink long of short-ear blood anymore. Only stakhle animal blood..."

You forgot about this issue. All of the Arachni...they only feed on blood. A good chunk of their race is still hidden and unreachable in the deepest cave systems underground, completely uncivilized, feral and bloodthirsty.

She took a sample of your blood real quick injecting them back in smaller glass vials. At least she gave a bottle of apple juice in return. You doubt this was worth it but whatever.

Time to live the life of a janitor.

His room was found in one of those stone watch towers. That's quite an upgrade from a measly shed or a wardrobe in the stairwell. You could see him from afar dragging his tools outside. The more you come closer, the bigger he gets...

Holy shit, the guy is massive! Like one of those big-boned wrestlers, he wore an stained grey suit which barely hid his muscles. Hell, he looked healthier than you! His skin was almost pale....all orcs lose their flashy pigmentations when the become grow older. No hair, just a shiny bald head and a nasty scar running across his face diagonally.

"What are you looking at?" You were staring this whole time, furthermore, he speaks....normal?

" Yeah, right 'work'. Just beat it kid, one of the teachers was messing with me 'O Grubb you are soo old! You should retire!' Old my ass. She put that stupid ad behind my back." his mocking tone didn't stray afar from his original gravelly voice.

You felt like you are in the middle of an ongoing feud. " Here, here's 50 pons. Now fuck off and let me do my work. No one works in MY castle."

You stood your ground with a simple "No."

"What are you, some kind of a smartass? You kids have no respect for anyone. Although..." He stroke his chin "I've never seen any of you punks willing to get their hands dirty."

" I am doing it for the pon."

"Well, you ain't getting shit." He bared his yellow teeth " Prove to me that you are worthy of tending MY castle first. Not giving you the keys of my castle either..."

The orc shoved his cleaning cart right at you, almost knocking you out "Here's a jumpsuit, might be a little too baggy but I don't give a shit. You got a single hour. Now get."

Welp, better get to it.

You could fit two of you in that Jumpsuit, you won't soil your clothes at least. You started scrubbing surfaces thinking it would be easy...

It wasn't.

The Moondust would form these weird clumps after contacting water making it just a little bit extra harder for you. There was A LOT of unscrubbed surfaces, no way you would clean them all in time.

You put pedal to the medal at last ten minutes but you were three benches short "Fuck...huh?"

++Strength [??? for new level up]

You saw a couple lying on the bench opposite to yours, one of them appears to be dead? Your moon shot hadn't kick in, it seems. "TIMES UP!"

"Gah!" Grubb came out of no where " You are missing one, two, three benches!"

"Give me a break."

"MY castle ain't got time for lazy sacks of taur. Hmm..." He inspected the bench behind you "Squeaky clean...not bad. What should I make of this?"

" Who doesn't? Disrator oil destroys it."

"Really?" There was a bottle of this special fungal oil in the cleaning cart but you didn't pick it up opting for other cleaning products instead.

"Yeah, come back tomorrow... or don't. Doesn't matter to me." Well, well, looks like you got the approval of that old orc. Shame about working for free though.

-Play chess [with someone], to increase your study and learn new chess moves
-Watch TV, for with variable end results
-Play video games, to increase your skill

Lights off, a least a dozen were gathered around the TV "Sssh, sssh... here it comes."

" SILENT BILL " the movie starts by crying out its title with the sound of bones snapping in the background. A human hiccnec ghost is haunting a group of elven teenagers in an abandoned town swallowed by a foggy swamp. Who will LIVE? Who will DIE? the answer remains unclear.

There was a lot of shitty drama between the cast, the girls were gobbling that shit up while the rest of the boys were waiting for those action set pieces.

The first half was pretty lame until the survivors decides to summon the ghost of the swamp to kill bill. Surprise , surprise, the ghost turned on everyone, NOW it became legit horror. Everyone was clutching to their seats passing popcorn from one side to another [You first pesudo-meal for the day!] It chance to provide *some* moral support for the girls. This could either go sideways: Some compliment...or a nasty elbow to your gut.

You were getting spooked out yourself as well, should you just go to bed?

"Eeeep!" the girl next to you blow your drum ears as the mother of jumpscares popped out near the end. With nowhere to hide her head, she resorted to sink her face the fluffy pillow he was holding. The movie ended with a god awful cliffhanger . Perfect bait for a sequel.

Lo and behold, there was an ad for SILENT BILL 2 this weekend with a special promotional code for FREE TICKETS*

!ANEMIC!

"Why am i here...so hungry." A powerful slap knocked you out of the golden bench.

"I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" Your speck of anger faded away as you saw Mouten covered in blood and fleshy bits panting heavily. Her Katana had a trail of black thick blood behind her. Your labyrinth became more swampy courtesy of Silent Bill.

"You jerk! What do you think you are doing with spawning so many powerful shadows!"

"Relax, sister. It was not his fault. " Eplis added helping you to stand up, her golden mask shinning ever so brightly " He didn't even assume his moonless form let alone awaken his persona...."

" No thanks to you." She spat blood on a one-eyed toad which hopped away afterwards. "This Labyrinth is growing more and more unstable every day. I doubt we have enough time to fully train you."

"Indeed, I sense a great disturbance in your heart room. It..." the ground started to shake violently; the serpentine bus in the skies was sucked into the ground by immense force leaving only small scraps here and there and a giant hole in the ground.

"Heart room? I don't understand."

"Later," Mouten shushed you " Listen to what my sister has to say."

"Thank you, As concluded in our previous lesson, there is another way around attack immunity: Moons."

"Moons?" you were confused.

"Each shadow and mortal are born under one of twelve moons. You can exploit said weakness if you had a persona of its opposite moon. Shouldn't be much of a problem since you are AND aren't born UNDER EVERY SINGLE MOON."

"HUH? What IS a persona???"

"This idiot..." Mouten was this close of slapping you again " A persona is a moon shadow under your direct control. A part of you....Eplis, take it from here."


TUTORIAL No.20
「MOON WEAKNESS」
-There are 12 moons which affect the affinities of shadows, they are:

-Binah-> Weak to Keter
-Keter-> Weak to Hokh
-Hokh-> Weak to Hesed
-Hesed-> Weak to Netza
-Netza-> Weak to Yesod
-Yesod-> Weak to Hodd
-Hodd-> Weak to Gevur
-Gevur-> Weak to Binah
-Malkh-> Weak to Da'at
-Da'at-> Weak to Tif'er
-Thami-> Weak to Malkh
-Satha-> Weak to ALL*

The pure elven moon Satha is only weak to all if attacked twice from two different personas .

- The attack [Doesnt matter if it is magical or phys] will be treated as WEAK, ignoring all resist, drain...etc

1/2
>>
>>4245342

"Okay, I kinda get this part, what is this 'Moonless' form?"

"It is quite the opposite really, A shadow without a moon is no longer mindless like us but with a shred of their former power" Mouten stated.

"A mortal born without a moon is another story..." Eplis started to explain.

TUTORIAL No.21
「PERSONA AND MOONLESS FORM」
-Bearer of the moon arcana has a rare power to possess two powerful forms:

PERSONA FORM
-Assume the stats (except health), strengths and weaknesses of your persona
-Weak moonless attacks, normal everything else

MOONLESS FORM
-CANT USE PERSONAS IN THIS FORM
-No moon affinity, No attribute weaknesses, resists ALL attacks
-Your OWN stats will affect your health, damage...etc.
-Unique Moonless attacks, moonless attack are more powerful but very weak non-moonless spells/abilities
-CONSUMES TIME PER TURN, makes you more prone to status ailments.

You hurt yourself pretty bad from all that needless shouting...but, you felt a tad stronger in a weird way.

"...." you couldn't utter a single word after your wailing for power.

"Mortals are truly peculiar creatures." Eplis came really close to your face before taking off her mask.

You couldn't see anything; blinding rays of light radiated from her face. You could only feel her warmth lips gently kissing your forehead.

"There...may your budding powers bring an end to ruin."

2: Allows you to detect and to form celestial bonds with others
_______________

+Deck of Arcana

~ Moon-Faced Muse and Swordbound Husk are starting to glow ~

"What's this?" an ethereal deck of cards had sunk inside your chest.

"Your only method of forming bonds with those who are intertwined with your fate. Arrgh..."

"Eplis?" The golden sister clutched to her head.

"Something...is wrong. There should be only a single persona of each arcana to be bound to you but...there are several? This can't be possible."

TUTORIAL No.22
「FORMING CELESTIAL BONDS」
-Several arcana has two or more possible candidates. You can only choose one.
-This choice is irreversible unless that person is dead or if you had severed this bond with them so choose very carefully.
- This choice won't be available until you have developed a natural relation with them.

That's aimed too low.
Aim higher, let's try to fuck the moon.
>>
>>4245633
That thought crossed my mind, but I have a feeling that there's another Magician Arcana we can bind to that'd be better. If we really want to, we could CB to Eplis later, I think. Now that I think about it, there may be another Strength Arcana out there, but whatever, I already voted

>>4245508
>not a typo
So Tiphereth moons hit Da'at as weakness but have no weakness themselves? And Thaumiel moons are weak to Malkuth moons but hit nothing with a weakness-exploiting attack?
>>
>>4245635
But we are MOONLESS dude. Moon dust allergies, the works. The logical end result is "kill the moon, fuck and knock up the sun" lmao. Either way, SOMEBODY this quest needs to have Johann's children before it ends.

"Heh..." It was the first time you saw her crack a smile, more of a smirk really but still.

"maybe I can finally get to ask questions on what’s going on? what is this heart room? Ruin? Labyrinth? tell me something."

The ground shook more, vengeful shadows started to crawl their way back to the surface " Not now! We'll explain everything next time."

"Yes," Eplis was calmer than her hot-headed sister readying erecting pillars of light to obliterate the incoming shadows " Leave these shadows to us, we will clear the way to the heart room . Come tomorrow. Awakened persona or not, We'll finish this together."

!HUNGRY!

You seriously can't believe yon only ate fricking popcorn yesterday. You must take care of yourself more. The first thing you are going to do with your pon is to buy some actual food. No detours.

What are you going to eat for breakfast?

Fuck begging and fuck food poisoning. We'll just go on a water fast, I guess. I've heard it's healthy to go without eating once in a while, so what's the worst that'll happen?

Oh God, why does it have to be so hard to get a decent fucking meal. I blame those fucking knife ears

Good, some leftovers. You wolf it down in three minutes. Bad idea...

"Slow down man." a human student has brought you a glass of water as you kept coughing your heart out; something was stuck in your throat.

"T-t-thanks..." You almost choked yourself to death back there. Time to get dressed.

"I was wondering, Do you have time for...some study-along? I see you don't have your books." Your backpack was pretty light " Botany, perhaps? I'd likr to be slightly ahead of class."

"Got it." You gave him a thumbs up.

Biology
______________

Some elven students of your class were already doodling on the pixie's empty desk. 'Drug skank' 'Shortie' 'Dustie-Wustie' 'Lizzzp' were some of what was written on her desk with equally crude drawings.

"Alright kids...daddy's home." Your biology teacher had finally arrived with bloodshot eyes and his thermal mug of coffee.

Everyone went silent waiting for your teacher to say something. He just keep drinking his coffee with an 'ahaa' between each sip.

"Let me make myself clear..." Thank goodness he broke this awful silence "...your guy has a severe case of narcolepsy, sooo caffeine make 35% of my blood. Only Joking."

He stood up for a lazy stretch in which he gave up on halfway through " I am no where caffeinated as your beautiful elven history teacher. She drinks twice as much as me. No Nacro on her side...Point is, I am very, very chill Teach. Don't think of this as some boring class, think of it as a...a..."

The elf couldn't find the word for it " ANYWAYS, My name is too long and boring so why don't you make some cool name for me while I caffeinate ?"

>[Suggest a name for your biology teacher] [Specify]
>Mr Coffee?
>Mr White?

Those bastards haven't even met her and they are already bombardomg her desk. You can wipe this off during you janitor work if Grubb gives you an ok. It was no surprise that several students went for Caffeine or similar versions "Ehhh, too long. Doess Kaff with a Cee not a Kay sounds alright to you?"

No one had any objections " Very good, let us start our first lesson. Centaurs, half elfoid upper half and very muscular or slender quadrupedal lower half with a very sharp sword-like tail..." You can't imagine what kind of creature that lower half belongs to, closest thing that comes to mind was goats or cows.

"We got any centaur student hiding somewhere? no? good. The word 'Taur' is very popular among your generation...can anyone guess why?"

>Stay silent
>Give Mr. Kaff the right answer [study 1!]
>Take a guess!

"No,no,no. T'eflasavel, anyone else?" You haven't heard this word in a long time. It literally meant 'reincarnate in a better body' , a verbal pat on the back for an attempt to do something.

"Aaaah, the star of our academy wants to answer this question..." Leviarine raised her hand, she was dying to get picked by your teacher. She didn't only have the brains but also the looks; golden shimmering hair, sky blue eyes, small pink lips, creamy skin...she had it all.

" In the Pre-Gathonisic era, the centaur people adapted a nomad style in both the grand steppe of..." She was a fricking gattling gun of rapid fired words.

"Woah, woah, slow down Miss Lev, Can I call you Lev ?"

"Yes, sir."

"Can you skip straight to the biological bits? History is fascinating and all but we don't have time for a 30 minute essay."

"Yes,sir. " She cleared her throat " The centaurs are the only race with six stomachs. The digestion process takes about six to eight weeks where 90% of the digested food is fully absorbed. Y'uxik-Tuk is the Centaur term for ....defecation. It means...Hill of blackness or darkness."

"That's right! Centaur's popo is reaaally stinky" He made quotation marks with his fingers "It is putrid enough to knock out any elfoid in a matter of seconds. That's why you kids refer anything bad or nasty as 'Taur' or 'Taurshit'."

Several elf students started to clap for the Lunis girl. Eh, She didn't say anything special or smart...you could have said the same but you didn't feel like it.

>Clap for the chosen one
>Clap vigorously for Lev. Inflate her ego.
>Don't. She is nothing.
>>
>>4247345
>Clap vigorously for Lev. Inflate her ego.
Can we slow clap?
>>
>>4247345
>Don't. She is nothing.
>>
>>4247345
>Clap for the chosen one
She got the answer right, it's only fair.
>>
>>4247345
>Don't. She is nothing.
Nah. Not her.
>>
>>4247345
>Don't. She is nothing.
Clapping for somebody getting a right answer? What are we, Americans in a kinoplex?
>>
>>4247404
>>4247398
>>4247365
>>4247364

Nope, elves don't deserve any praise.. It is not like they'll lose a limb without your praise. However, Miss Chosen was blushing a little from all that unnecessary clapping.

Mr. Kaff gave you a glimpse about the biological wonders of Centaur anatomy; two beating hearts. Almost no organs in the upper part and much , much more. Your brain felt like a sponge in these 30 minutes.

You couldn't find the library at all until you had to ask for it "Underground, don't mess with the librarian. He'll slap you with his stick."

Underground? Through that old door? What is this, a dungeon?

Aaand it was indeed a dungeon or an armory at least; swords and shields decorated its stone walls, trophies of various monster creatures on several pedestals...and a fucking ornate skeleton resting on a throne encased in a glass display????

"Zzzzzzhhh, you stepz iz too loud." You took one a single step before a male pixie almost collided with you. He had a very long tick ready to slap the shit out of you.

Pixies are very, very ....distinct. They lived in isolation for thousands of years alone and so they differ a lot from your traditional elfoid race; for one, they have wings which is locked by a special case to prevent any burst of chemicals. Their eyes are pitch black and ovoid, curving inwards. Finally, They have these small face slits and several pigmented dots all over their skin, both changes according to their volatile emotions.

Finally, they are the shortest elfoid race, this adult male for an example could barely reach your chest....their woman tend to be slightly larger however with more prominent wings and face slits.

"Firzt Vizit?" He kept hovering around you impatiently.

"Zign, thiz..." In a flash, he flew to his lavish desk to bring you some paper with a lot of terms and conditions related to this 'city-state protected cultural site'.

You, being a 17 year old without an ounce of patience, skimmed through it quickly. The gist of it is any sort of vandalism will make pay a huge fine [100k pons] and you will be detained for several months as well. This rule also applied to elves, they are not above the law on this one.

You agreed to this terms and conditions, signing it in no time "No zudden noizez. Come to my dezk firzt for anything related to the bookz."

"DONT TOUCH!" The pixie's stick cut through the air almost startled you "Many bookz are for zhow only. No touch."

"I thought was a library, not a museum. "

"Come with me " He led you to a near empty set of shelves " Thiz iz for you...pay 1000 ponz for a higher memeberzhip in the library."

"Son of a..." you muttered, there were still a fine collection of books here but a paywall for the rest? really? Damn elven scummy practices. Obviously, most of the good free stuff were already borrowed so you would have to revisit the library later for them.

You could borrow one of the following:

- The Traitors of Cairth [Elven History] [-] [-] [-] [-]
A book about several non-elves who betrayed the trust of Cairth throughout the history, makes you smart

- Ashen Gardening: The Dryad's secret [Misc] [-] [-] [-]
A book about several dryad techniques used in ashen soils. Makes you more compassionate.

- The Gentle Knife, Part I [Misc] [-] [-]
A modern book about several Urban legends in Cairth . Steels your guts.

- Captivating Cairth under unusual lens! [Photography] [-] [-]
A decade old magazine talking about some famous photography-worthy sites in Koris and...Sanda?

"...Why?" He squinted his eyes almost slicing you in half with suspicion.

"Some pricks drew all over my partner's desk. So what if she is pixie? Does she deserve to be treated like shit?"

"P-pixie?" He lost his grim composure for a second " Uuuuugh...."

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing. " He pulled out his extra jumpsuit, throwing it right at your face " You are coming with me, kid. Still can't trust you in my castle..."

The Academy was really unsettling without its bustling students and teachers walking these empty hallways. Grubb had a big key chain on his waist , some of the dangling keys were *really* old and rusty. You wonder what kind of doors are these doors for.

"I'll be watching your ass. Don't try anything funny."

For a janitor, a single classroom is one hell of a doozy. It is up to you to decide how thorough you want to be. More work means more time consumed.

It wasn't perfect by a long shot but your classroom was all cleaned up at the first glance. You struggled a lot with the desk for a good reason.

"Permanent marker huh? Stupid kids." The orc groaned " Try this..." He gave you a orange bottle.

"Titrabad concentrated...urine? Are you serious?? What even is a Titrabad??"

"Hey, If It works, It works. We don't get to be picky in our line of job." He shrugged it off.

"Oookay..." This urine had a very sweet aroma, Vanilla like. It worked like a charm.

"Here's your pay, don't be stupid and spend it on one place..."

EVENING
_____________

The Dorm was awfully silent at this time of the day, most of the pod were closed shut. That is because they are outside working you big dummy!

You stared at the current two moons of the skies: Hodd and Da'at. They felt too....ominous for some reason.

-Lounge: A surprise visit, Miss Stag chats with Miss Yuni
-Kitchen: Several students are preparing a large meal.
-Pods: You hear a faint cry inside one of the pods
-Garden: Veishu is mediating while sweating profusely.

"Welcome to Alute! where the price is ALWAYS right!" The elven clerk was way too enthusiastic, probably his boss is forcing him to be all cheerful. He was wearing a Borskha hat? yeah, that's the one with large ear flaps. He looked quite young actually, in his late 20s for sure. Hmmm, a brown haired elf? That's quite rare.

The store itself was nothing special, too small and crammed with like two aisles. That;s it.

"What can I get you?"

"i dunno, anything on sale?"

"Sure! Here is our special offers!"

「Xzon-Zxon TV Dinner meal」
Removes COLD-BLOODED, +10% hp
A tastless meal done by the Medical Goliath Xzon-Zxon. This semi-goop contains all the necessary nutrients for a non-Centaur/Arachni adult male with several experimental (but approved) artificial flavors. There is a number on the back in case of certain desirable side effects with a promise for a good pay if one would agree to be their test subject.

"THANKS! Do come again!" A cheery elf is almost unnatural.

"...Our society is slowly plummeting into a moral tremor. Public executions? rampant discrimination? This...stagnation is what is keeping our fair city state chained in the past! Together, we must discard these differences!" The small cracked TV next to the clerk showed Judge Cidgeth in a conference with his golden mask surrounded by dozens of hungry reporters.

"Pffft, that guy is waaay too ambitious. He can't do anything by himself....not with the other Judges and Council around anyways.." said the clerk while bagging your stuff. "What do you think?"

He was too casual about it. You don't think he is being intentionally racist against you.

" Cool. Well, I am rooting for him too. Any change is a good one." That kind of contradicted his first statement but whatever.

"W-wait up! Woooaaah!" He tripped over his shoe lace as you were leaving the store.

"I am okay, I am okay..." he dusted his shirt "You're living across the street, right? In that dorm?"

"Why are you asking?" it is a stupid idea to talk that freely to strangers, however, the clerk guy would totally spot you coming in or out someday. No use lying to him.

" My business is...plummeting realll fast." He owns the store? Is he really that cheerful on his own? "I got a good spot but everyone buys their dailies at Ella's...I am so screwed. "

The pointed at a large billboard depicting a pixie with an uncanny plastic mask. Ella's is a grand chain of mega-markets with really attractive girls for cashiers, employees....etc. That is their selling point aside from their near endless supplies, they are literally everywhere.

"I was thinking of a small campaign to boost my sales a little. Spread the word across the neighborhood." He struggled to pull out a small flyer .

"And you are missing a flyer distributor..." came the natural conclusion.

"Yes! I can't leave my store, so why don't you tell your friends about me? It is an easy job; a thousand flyer , three days..."

" You are literally saving my business, thank you!" That guy was overexaggerating way too much " Did I mention my name somewhere in our convo? no?"

"Nope."

"Right, right. I am Tecig and yes it is *that* Tecig. You are too young to know this ref. My dad had didn't follow the herd and name my something elvish. I am a comic relief character who gets-" He stopped himself before things would get more embarrassing for him "Just...eh, call me Tecig? Tee if you wanna be all Hip, yo!"

"Goodnight, Mr. Tecig." You couldn't;t bear any of his cringe. He's a good guy but he didn't know when to stop.

______________

More students were just returning from their part-time job. Perfect timing for some Alute advertising.

-Lounge: Miss Stag has left the dorm
-Kitchen: Bogza is having some technical problems with the meal he is cooking
-Lounge: Some students are talking about the one who was crying.

"Should we call Miss Yuni about this? She left just a few minutes befor-" Elenna, the girl who accidentally poisoned you, was biting her nails.

"So what if a girl gets bullied by those stupid elves ? I got bullied too, look at me now." said a tomboyish girl who didn't give a damn.

" You know Maq, She is like a small flower. She went out there by herself after crying her heart out! Koris is very dangerous at night! " She finally noticed you around "Johann, was it? Have you seen her outside?"

She showed you a pic of her and that student on her phone. Hold on, That was the same girl who hugged her pillow during Silent Bill!

"Can't say I have."

"I am too worried about her. Please, do something!"

"Who's 'at?" You heard the police siren in the background.

"It's me, Johann. The guy who got robbed and beaten in the bus station."

"I 'memeber you. You 'kay, kid?"

"I am fine but..." You gave him a quick rundown about Maq.

" 'oger. I'll keep me 'yes peeled. " Well, you did your part. It's probably nothing , yeah. There are a lot of police patrols in night, some even were full riot gear on daily basis. If Maq is in trouble, they'll save her.

" What do you think of the Koris Grand Lottery?" A talk show with some politician you know nothing about.

"It is a waste of time for both sides. Why offer a couple of our minorities a full week in Hileyeath? the upper paradise?" A fat elf was a sight to behold. It is not uncommon for dirty politicians to grow rolls of fat from all the pons they are siphoning up their ass.

The other politician, also an elf , retorted " To give them a taste of what they can become if their S.C is high enough."

"Lies, the council wants a cheap way to gain millions of pons." The fat one pulled out a stack of papers from his briefcase " Here is the statistics of the 'winners' of all the grand lottery: 23% committed suicide within 2 years of winning, 19% were killed , targeted by other jealous minorities. Does this look like a good motivation to you?"

The more this discussion went on, the more you sided with the fat politician who inherently looked corrupt but his words proved otherwise. Appearances CAN be deceiving.

This verbal exchange had gave you a small glimpse of the inner workings of politics.

+++ Socialize [???]

After finishing your filling but awuful meal, you went to your pod for a goodnight sleep. You opened the slide door....

Only to found a spindly hand of shadows, patiently waiting for you with its roots sprouting from the small moon carving you drew a few days earlier.

You woke up somewhere underground? You can't tell, everything is all blurry. What is your head wet? Is that...Blood?

"RRRRRRRRRRRAAAGGGGGHHH!!!"

"WE SHALL AVENGE OUR MASTER!!"

"IT IS NOT OVER YET!!!"

「Pitiful fools... don't you understand? Fate can not be overturned, not by man, not by god. I am absolute...I am all.」

"SHUT UP SHUT UP, SHUTUUUUUUUUPPPPP!!!!"

Two silhouettes were shining amidst the overwhelming darkness. Are those...?

"Ngngh..." You couldn't stand up, why are you so weak, so useless? What is this? You feel a weak presence behind you...

Your vision became clearer as you became closer and closer to thumping sound, It was...a lump of flesh, a fetus with a beating heart for a body with multiple useless limbs flailing about.

It was you.

It was...part of you or maybe it was the other around. Yes, It was calling for you.

「I gave you a chance to live a blissful life of ignorance and yet you forfeit your sole chance of happiness... 」The booming voice called you, it was the same one back in the Bus.

" Johann, you finally showed up..." This is Eplis, the moonless shadow who...

"JOHANN! YOU IDIOT.RUN! THIS IS BEYOND YOU!" This is...Mouten. Yes, the moonless shadow who...who...

「Your instrument of triumph is nothing but a failure. He has abandoned you in your most dire times for mere mortal gains...He shall be your downfall, as it was written...」

"GAAAH!" The child was hapless against the shadow hand which absorbed it into this sinister wall of eyes. You clutched to your chest as if something was ripped out of it, this unbearable pain made you twist and turn like a pathetic worm.

「Your fate is mine, son of twelve, son of none. I will rain an eternal suffering upon you for defying me. Starting with ...」

A web of black tendrils encased both the Moonless shadows with a giant sword from the abyss dangling between them.

「By your command, One shall Live, One shall die...choose lest I end them both.」

"He is toying with you...run, run and never look back." Mouten barely had any strength left in her.

"Don't let our deaths be in vain, flee, flight for another day... my light will...GUIDE YOU!" Eplis briefly escaped the evil clutches of this entity cutting off her arm to spread endless rays of light. It wasn't enough enough to harm it but it did reinvigorate you enough for you to run to this newly created portal.

"No..."

「Then I-」

"I am sick of this...All of my life, I have been under someone's thumb. Always oppressed, Always kept down by society and their taurshit rules..."

"..." You looked up the Moonless sisters , eyes burning with determination " I won't play your by your stupid rules. I don't care if you are some all-seeing, all knowing god.. I.WON'T.RUN.I WON'T.SUBMIT."

「Resistance is futile, your fate is sealed, predetermined...those...broken toys tried and failed on your behalf..Do you think you stand a chance against my might?」

" Predetermined fate? Give me a break.." Your rapier had materialized on your left hand. Your soul is burning.

「You dare to defy me? I am progress...I am inevitable... You can not escape your fate.」

"Can't escape? If that's the case...THEN I REJECT MY GOD DAMN FATE!!!"

"Rnnghh..." Your heart was chained from so, sooo long, it desires be shackled! it desires freedom!

「 Insolent Whelp, I have foreseen everyth...hm?」

"RRRNNGH!!!!! RRRRAAAGGHHHH" Your right fingers twist and turn into sharp white claw ready to rip your heart out!

Your own beating heart within the palm of your hand, what a beautiful sight " MELCHIADES, TO ME! "

「「 Alas, Freedom. 」」 Your heart gave birth to a saintly figure in gold and white. His face is torn by treachery and his ideals poison his unruly foes.

>>4251150
+1, we should focus on Husk’s tendril then she can hopefully help us get Muse
>>
>>4251140
If we inflict HOT-BLOODED & LEADED on a single target, can they actually do anything with their turns? One only allows attacks and the other only allows spells
>>
While we’re in this fight. I’m gonna exposit a bit on our Persona!

Melchiades, also known as Miltiades, was the 32nd Pope. He brought into law the Edict of Milan, ending Christian persecution in the Roman Empire.

"MOUTEN!" You grabbed her just in time, She was at death's door coughing blood at very breath.

"I...I...can't believe you have done it. You have...awakened...your.."

"Sssssh, It is alright." It wasn't , her body was mangled beyond repair. You couldn't think about this right now.

The Myriad of eyes laughed manically in unison 「 No matter how hard you try to deviate from fate, what is written will happen...」

The world itself was at this entity's whim collapsing on you like a giant trap. 「 Begone from this world and the next... 」

Endless waves of abyssal hands were moments away of tearing you apart, you braced for impact when a dome of light formed a barrier around you.

It was Eplis.

In a last ditch effort, Eplis spent what little energy she had left to provide a clear path to the golden portal, only her near-lifeless face and several fingers were sticking out from her shadowy tomb.

"Johann...I was wrong..I was wrong to abandon hope. I...believe in you.."

"EPLIS!" You tried to cross the barrier but it wouldn't let you.

"My only regret...is not being able to witness your..full potential. I beg you , save my sister...save us from ruin..."

>I CAN STILL FIGHT, DAMN IT
>I will...

>>4251425
>I CAN STILL FIGHT, DAMN IT
WE HAD TO DELAY MOONWORLD FOR MONEY AND FOOD
WE HAD TO TRY WHAT WE COULD TO FRE MOUTEN
NOT OUR FAULT MEGI MOONLESS DAMAGE WAS THE KEY
COULD WE HAVE SAVED BOTH FASTER IF WE KNEW WE HAD FREE ALMIGHTY SPELL IN MOONLESS FORM???
FUUUUUUUUUUUCK
>>
>>4251425
>I can still fight damn it
>>
>>4251465
I think we had to reduce the tendrils to half HP as the tendril only released after getting to 25 HP from the blight DOT. I doubt there was a way to save both since this QM has a brutal streak and this thing was hyped to be some fucked up shit

"Plea...s..e...sav-" That was the last of the Moon-faced Muse. There was nothing you could do for her.

+ Golden Makka

"Huh?" You found a small gold orb between your sharp claw. No time to think about this shit.

Mouten was deceivingly heavy as you carried her on your back. Unconcious, She was still clutching to her Katana the whole time.

"Fuckfuckfuckfuck...." The golden barrier's cracks grew more the further you ran for the portal, It was shattered the moment you were a few steps away from safety. You jumped into the unknown at the nick of time.

"..."

_________________

"Owww..." You landed ass-first in somewhere dark. What's that smell?

Ah yes, good ol' piss and shit combo with the pungent smell of garbage. You are in a dark alley, somewhere is Koris.

"HISSSS" A street cat barred its fang when it saw you.

"Shoo, kitty, shoo!" It wasn't actually hissing at you, It was hissing at what was behind you.

An oozing mass of flesh and teeth bigger than a dog with many maws and hooks. It seems to be grasping for air?

>[RUN]
>[KICK IT]
>M-mouten?
>Write in!
>>
>>4251526
>M-mouten?
>>
>>4251526
>M-mouten?
So this is what happens when a demon crosses over...

>>M-mouten?
>>
>>4251526
>M-mouten?
>>
>>4251535
>>4251544
>>4251547

This mass kept shrinking in size, almost sizzling on the piss-stained concrete. It doesn't seem to be hostile, Is this really Mouten?

"Who's 'ere? 'ands up!" A cone of light was primed at you , accompanied with a familiar voice.

You raised your hands to the sky, hoping that they won't see the fleshly abomination behind you. Two police officers were carefully approaching you....

Gonshak and his elven partner.

" 'asy Puferel , Itz that kid." The orc lowered his gun.

"Well. well, well...look what we have here, someone violating his S.C boundaries. Now, What shall I do with you?"

"I am *so* done with you-"

"Hez lookin for that 'irl. Maquine De Fauin. Rulez or not, I would do da same." The orc gave you a red-tinted glare , He wants you to shut the fuck up for the next few seconds.

"So you're the one who is keeping us at night? I missed a perfect Ollad match because of your shitty report. I'll make sure your criminal record get all swollen up." Puferel actually spat on your face .

"E-eplis?" a faint sound emerged from the nearby dumpster.

"Whoz there? Identify yourself!" Both officers were on full alert.

The dumpster lid slowly opened, revealing a petit human girl with short black hair and pale eyes. Her clothes were all ruffled up...

Maq???

Both officers were confused and conflicted " I am gunn need a good explanation of WOT IZ GOIN ON 'ERE?" The orc suddenly went mad, you looked very, very bad in this situation right now.

>I just found her, I swear!
>I did nothing! noting!
>Maq, say something...
>Mouten, say something...
>[Keep your mouth shut]
>Write in

"You 'found' her in that particular dumpster? I don't think so, K'lael." In a flash, He choke-slammed you on the ground "You're under arrest for ...who gives a fuck. I am ending your little future right here and now."

"Officers, May I have a word?"

You couldn't see who called them while being handcuffed and forced to remain in a very uncomfortable position. This conversation didn't last very long, couple of minutes at best.

The next thing you know, the same elven officer is releasing "You'll make another stupid mistake...when you do, I'll be there."

Both officers have left leaving you with a very confused Maq? and one Miss Stag.

"Count yourself lucky, boy. You were at the wrong place but at the right time...."

>How did you make them go away like that?!
>Thank you Miss stag.
>What do you mean?
>Write in
>>
>>4251586
>Mouten, say something...
It's her, she mentioned "Eplis".

Fug, not even an hour in the mortal realm and she's in trouble. Wish I read the room sooner.
>>
>>4251626
>Thank you Miss stag
>>
Maq's probably dead.
>>
>>4251666
>Mouten is actually Maquine De Fauin, a cute human girl bullied by elves real hard at school, who hugged a body pillow and cried watching SILENT BILL, and lives at our dorm this whole time
>Courtyard: Some elven girls of your year are bullying a first year human girl
>Pods: You hear a faint cry inside one of the pods
>"Eeeep!" the girl next to you blow your drum ears as the mother of jumpscares popped out near the end. With nowhere to hide her head, she resorted to sink her face the fluffy pillow she was holding.
ALL EVENTS WE DODGED JUST LIKE THAT, BROS! But then who was Eplis? Also if we do go for Mouten/Moq as the chosen waifu of the quest, it would be very hard to fuck her in the dorms, with the pods barely having any privacy, and with very little room for two people to fuck in. At least reviving Eplis, if doable with the item she gave us, would be nice - but if she revives in Moonworld again somehow, is she a fucking fleshblob permanently in the real world? Could moon magic help???

"Yeah, yeah..go to your dorm already. Don't keep my YunYun waiting. " she almost slithered her tongue in your right ear while whispering "I would go for any kinky adventures faaar away from the White Stag if you were you."

"I wasn't-" You were out of everything at this point. 'Maq' was just sitting there staring at the skies vacuously.

"Is she on drugs?" The dryad lit a cig in the middle of the night. A quick 'yes' slipped from your mouth; there is no way you could make up some taurshit excuse in this state.

"Kids these days...come on girl." The moment she touched 'Maq', The human drew a non existent Katana to slice off the dryad's head.

" DIE, HORNED Ssshadow...I...i....AAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAA AAA A A A A AAAAAAAAaaaaaaa..aaa...a..." The Human kept screeching after she came to realize everything around her starting with her 'new' body. She eventually passed out from overwhelming shock.

"That's some strong stuff." The Dryad was unphased by her screams "psychosis, hallucinations, detaching from reality...I am going to ask you two lovebird to come my massage parlor when she's more stable for some questions. I don't take no for an answer..."

She carried the human on her back " What? You want to carry her?"

"N-no." With that said, the two of you went back to the Dorm.

Post thread discussion goes here!

Thank you so much for playing . sorry for the long tutorial section but it had to be done. New thread will be in 1-2 days with a lot of pastebins.

You got any feedback? post it here! Let me know what do you think of the quest so far.

Thank you and have a great night!
>>
Extremely good first thread. I suggest using more fitting songs where appropriate and not all from SMT or Persona games (ex. Fate/Stay Night), a certain country store in the city selling humble botany supplies run by 2 orcs that is named something and was FORMERLY somebody else's if you know what I mean, doing what mainline Persona is too up their asses to do like have Social Links ACTUALLY affect the plot and more, a lot more inter-party interactions unlike Persona 5 and more like Persona 3 and 2 (a.k.a. the BEST Persona games), combo or fusion spells or skills a la Digital Devil Saga and Persona 3, and please PLEASE don't have a Marie/Alex/Kasumi kind of shoehorned Mary Sue sort of shitty worthless character.
>>
>>4251699
Nice thread, but maybe you could let us roll some dice when we dont meet the requirements for a skill check, its good that you want this to be as close to a persona game but we dont have a new game+ to see what happens if we are gated because of stats, lets put for example that you change the rules and you make that you only succed on a high role when you dont have the stats, thats good, if we go for that and roll poorly we get punished, but we decide to take the gamble, as its now some uppity elf could spit on us and we cant even see him eye to eye because we are short of one more point in streght to grow balls. Overall i like the dystopia setting
>>
>>4251838
but anon, i am allergic to rolls..
>>4251761
i am honestly very bad at choosing moosic. Don't worry, I won't shove any character up your throat. No waifu pandering too, if anything, I will be treated as a side content.
>>
>>4252405
How do you determine the outcome of random events if not by rolling? I mean, you have crits and evasion and other random mechanics, so there must be something going on behind the scenes.

Also, I stand with S.N.E.E.D. anon >>4251761 despite having no idea if it would be appropriate for Persona (never played) or not. I refuse to let the memes remain dreams
>>
>>4252533
You are right, I do some off-thread calculations but i don't want dice to be in the quest. It makes things easier and more convenient on my side , we already got our multi-layered mechanics. no need to complicate thing further.
>>
>>4252539
Some feedback on these hidden calcs would still be nice. Just an indication that they happen and where would make things seem less arbitrary.
>>
any foinal feedback? stating a new thread tomorrow
>>4253145
eh, we'll see.
