You are Johann Fol , a human student who had recently lost his foster dad and forced to transfer to Garsis academy in the elven city state of Cairth under the protection of a new guardian: Miss Yuni in Gladefall Dorm, Tenfaro street.

Under some strange circumstances, you happened upon a mysterious parallel world known as the Moonworld filled with strange creatures known as shadows thriving in a hellish post-apocalyptic. landscape

In this world, you have met with two sisters: Eplis and Mouten who started to train you an a bizarre realm within the Moonworld which is a Labyrinth . While Eplis thought you are another disappointment, Mouten had high hopes of you of become 'The one who will save us from ruin' .

Alas, the entity Mouten spoke about had invaded your labyrinth. After awakening your own persona in defiance against Ruin in form, you only managed to free Mouten as Eplis sacrificed herself for you two to escape.

After returning to the real world, You stumbled upon Maq, the human student who left your dorm while under great emotional stress, in a dark alley in a dumpster. The first world she uttered the Moonless shadow, Eplis.

Could Maq be Mouten? You are not entirely sure. She passed out shortly afterwards, now she is on the dryad's back who saved you from the cops: Miss Stag who took a special intrest in both of you.

First for cumming in OPs mouth!

thank you OP. For those who don't know, I can't post images so I asked this anon to post the thread for me.

Half of the students were still awake by the time you returned to the dorm, they were as worried as Miss Yuni for Maq especially her best friend, Elenna.

"Maquine!" Your guardian's heart was shattered on the floor when she saw the human behind Miss Stag's back.

"Easy, easy, give her some room." No one really cared about you at this moment. It was all about her. Rightfully so.

>Just go to your pod, they will take care of her, [END DAY]
>You can't just leave Maq/Mouten alone, who knows what will happen next!
>Ask Miss Yuni to take care of you first, you are pretty beat up too.

Sleeping your problems away is out of the question. If Mouten is really inside Maq, she would need a lot of help... in everything really. She knows nothing of your world, leaving her to rediscover everything by herself could be very,very dangerous for all parties evolved.

Miss Stag had a brief chat with Miss Yuni while your heart was pounding this whole time; Is she going to tell your guardian about your supposed 'kinky relationship'? or 'drugs'?

It was well past midnight, everyone but you, Miss Yuni and Elenna went to sleep. Elenna insisted on staying next Maq in Miss Yuni's bed room. In the lounge, You found yourself more or less verbally pinned against a very grim Miss Yuni. She was angry, frustrated , sad and disappointed at the same time.

"I want to hear your side of the story." cold words trailed from her frigid lips.

>You, you wouldn't get it....
>I couldn't rely on the police to find her. I had to go out there to find her myself
>Is this my 'thank you for saving Maquine'? because It sure doesn't look like it.

"Johann, You keep getting into trouble. I can't save you every single time, what happens if the White stag wasn't here for you?"

"Boned to the T." That elven prick Puferel was gunning for you and his partner couldn't do taur about it.

"I didn't want to say this so early but...nevermind." It was almost at the tip of her tongue " Miss Stag told me about what happened...I didn't know you could pass out from running."

>Y-yeah, That happened...

"It is not your fault." She patted you on the shoulder "I'll have to speak with the principal about this."

That went a lot smoother than you would have expected " Goodnight Johann...and thank you."

You barely slept for a few hours when you heard some shouting coming from Miss Yuni's room.

"I DON'T KNOW YOU, S-STAY AWAY OR I'LL CUT YOU IN HALF."

"Maq, please!" Elenna cried as her right cheek was slapped to oblivion " What is wrong with you?!"

Everyone was gathered near Miss Yuni's room where Maq had barricaded it with several pieces of furniture . The elf, Elenna was crying from both the searing pain AND Maq's weird behavior.

"She must have fell on her head or something..."

"*This* is Maq? What did the new kid do to her?"

"Do you think he drug her?"

"Where is Miss Yuni?"

"Can you give us some space?" Having a small crowd behind your back doesn't help.

"Please, Everyone..." Elenna encouraged other to leave "please make sure she is okay. She slapped me when i tried to talk to her.."

"Will do." You nodded. The first thing you did was knocking on the door whispering "Mouten it is me...Johann."

"Johann?" her voice calmed down a little "Who are these shadows?"

"They are not...they are allies. Can you please let me in?"

A few moments later, you heard the sound of furniture moving before a certain click; the door was unlocked.

Maq snatched you from outside the room with unseen strength before locking the door a moment later. She appeared to be very neurotic as she kept walking in circles, almost burning through the carpet.

"Is this some twisted part of your labyrinth? where is my katana? Why am i stuck this, frail, useless body? Answer me , NOW!"

You were slapped to the floor " Do I Like it?YOU IDIOT! We, shadows, are the twisted mental products of mortals and other entities. We can't exist on our own in your world! We'll..."

Maq's paused for a second , eyes swelling up with tears "Eplis...why, why did you do it?"

"Do What?" You ignored your burning cheek "What did she do?"

"My body was a mangled mess, beyond salvation. I had no chance of survival even after your rescue. Her portal to your world wasn't a mistake. She..." Maq struggled , words barely coming out "...sent me here on purpose so I can...so I-i can..."

>...possess a cold body. The girl you are inside...Maquine. She was dead from the start.

Even if she did kill the poor girl there's no cause to put that on her, she didn't do anything wrong.

" My-Her coffin was riddled with filth. Is that part of your world's tradition?"

"No...I think she was killed. Someone killed her and throw her body in the dumpster." You felt so apathetic talking about Maq in this manner. Is this really your fault?

" It feels...wrong to puppet this corpse." Her voice softened a little " I was born to be a murder machine, I killed and killed until there was no one left. Then my master has set me to the right path. He had undone my true nature... He made me understand the inner machinations of your mortal kind. This feeling burning inside me, is it guilt?"

" You are just getting used to this new body." You had nothing better to say.

"..." Maq stared at her small hands " This is the new me. I have to accept this form." She looked at you with her sharp eyes " The Master of this place , Missyuni , She must be aware of the fate of her underling."

>DO NOT. You will screw us over.

" So it is a secret then? I won't tell anyone."

"Phew.. now get dressed, we are getting late for the academy."

"A Cademy? I sense a challenge in this word. Is this a giant shadow? A labyrinth? I am eager to kill it, this feeble body needs a lot of practice."

"Shit..." You muttered. She literally knows nothing. Is it even safe for her to interact with anyone in her current state? To complicate things, Maq is a year younger than you so you can't keep an eye on her in the academy.

"Fine, But we must return to the Moonworld soon enough."

It was difficult to find certain terms for Maq to understand. You told her to avoid any unnecessary contact with other students just in case, she should stick to her pod until you return from the academy. Keyword here is should.

Elven Poetry
___________________________

Surprise, surprise. The pixie is still absent AND her desk is full of racial slurs AGAIN. You took a deep sigh, this is a losing battle. She'll just have to grow a thicker skin and live with it.

"SPOO!!" Journalist-in-Making shouted loudly in your ears, snickering at your response "Gotcha, didn't i"

"What do you want? I told you to go away." Your ears was still ringing.

"Oh, you mean the judge thing? Pfft, Old news. My eyes is on a bigger fish...or should I say Grub? Grubb? Orc names are sooo blocky. No elegance at all. Hmph."

The class hasn't started just yet. this gave her the perfect opportunity to verbally hunt you down " Do you know that you are the only one who....help him? I can't imagine how poor you are!"

You rolled your eyes allowing her to continue "So here's the deal. 50 pons and you will tell me how bad,scary and rotten he is because.." She lowered her voice "...after my article is published, you will wish you have stayed a whole city-state away from this creep."

The elf instinctively lowered her yellow tinted glasses , already writing down a quick note about something the guys at the back had just said " If want to be ...ugh...'boring' and give me some 'good' gossip of him then I'll pay you 20 pons. It'll make for a 'tragic creep, misunderstood by society' back up article. "

>Two words: Fuck. Off.

"You are being *very* rude to me. A good journalist never gives up, you know." She closed her notebook " You had one chance of fame , you blew it. Enjoy being poor!"

Finally, She left you alone just in time for your poetry teacher to enter the class. She was a red eyed elf (no surprise there) in a black business suit with side-swept blonde hair. What is this? Is that a red prosthetic hand? Very High-tech design by the looks of it. No wonder she is pissed off, that face hasn't smiled in years.

<All class, stand up.> What the? Is she speaking elvish?

Confused, Everyone did so < I am Miss Tharanael, your poetry teacher. Let me make myself clear for my non-elven students: You are all parasites.>

You did your best to ignore the ongoing discussion and started to read the so called traitors of Cairth.

The first traitor was none other than your persona, Melchiades. 'Religious Treachery' 'Blasphemy' 'inciting violence' they called it.

Considered by many humans to be a saintly figure, Melchiades defied the Lunar-focused religion imposed by the elves going for a whole new religion. Melchiades believed in a single entity who created everything and all, he called it Yenvoyoh or Yenv. The low king of Cairth had branded him a heretic before his arrest, however, instead of outright executing him, the low king had other sinister plans stored for him.

The Low King released the man in a shocking turn of events, allowing him to freely practice his new religion on one condition: Melchiades must peel off the skin of his face with a special carving knife laced with concoction of poisons and other caustic agents. The low king thought that this heretic wouldn't last a day but oh he was so wrong....

Through a miracle or the sheer determination of Melchiades , the human persevered for a full month, gaining more and more followers without tending to his grievous wounds. Enraged, the elven low king order his execution and any human who follows this blasphemy. Yenvian practices is still forbidden across all city-states with only few clinging to their religion in secrecy.

You REALLY should buy your books. You got some money for it. The question is: Should you return to the dorm to look for Maq or should you go with Kaz instead?

Both Grubb and Maq could wait. You promised the red haired elf to spend time with him.

" There you are, I thought you were occupied with other matters." The elf was waiting for you at the main gate "Speaking of personal experience , nearly 4/5 of the humans broke their promises to me. Lack of commitment seems to be a rather alarming trend among your race. "

"Yes, It allows me to judge different people justly without baseless emotions and such. Your heart can lie to you but numbers can't. You should try it sometime."

"Nooo, thank you." So that is how he sees it.

"Tell me Johann, What is your preferred method of transportation? If you desire, we should use Rail-First underground station, they have been operational in our district for quite a while."

" Rail-What?"

"An elven only underground train transportation connecting all of our districts together. My S.S.C is high enough for both of us." The elf was polite enough to offer you several options to reach that park.

>Let's just stick to the bus.

It took you about an hour to reach the park. Kaz looked more or less the same while you looked like a roasted pork.

"Huff....Huff...how did you...?"

"A well balanced diet. 1 hour of daily jog for 10 years straight....and some good genetics."

New Location Discovered

「Palisade Park」 [100 pon ticket price for non elves, open everyday except Saturday]

Originally a mass burial site for the families of loyalist supporters, The city-state has buried most of its bloody past under layers of concentrate. It is considered to be one of the best project done for the Koris district. With many acres of trees, grass and flower and a small lake, the park attracts hundreds of visitors each day.

The main gate itself was magnificent; an amalgamated arch of molten guns and cannons with several skeletal remains thrown in the mix. This horrifying arch had several copper wings claimed by flourishing vines signifying a better future.

"Shall we enter?"

"Jay boy! What a surprise! Oooh Helllllo~ Cairth! We're here live on the ground reporting two scrumptious boys soaked in their ...sweat. That is the way I like it!" said someone behind you in a yellow and royal blue track suit.

"Johann, Do you know him?" Kaz tried to remain as polite as possible.

" A pleasure." Kaz reluctantly shook hands with him.

"Allll mine~ " Juilan seems to be enjoying that hand shake may more than he should.

"Your body is sooo...firm and tense." He kept eyeing your fencer partner " A pretty boy like you is perrrrfect for that audition I had in mind. Darling, I am seeing some great potential with that fabulous body of yours...are you interested in some modeling work?"

" Modeling is hardly in my circles of interests. I appreciate your...flattering words but I have to decline." Kaz was hiding his disgust under a friendly face.

"Awwww, sucks!" Juilan sighed, his eyes were set upon you instead, he was considering asking you as well but something was holding his tongue.

>We done here? We want to start our fencing training

"Oooh~ fencing!" He giggled like a little girl "don't poke yourselves too ...hard~"

"What?" Both of you gave him a blank stare "Off to my jogging, see you soon, darlings!"

_______________________________

The park was simply huge , stretching as far as the eyes can see. Just how many loyalists were buried six feet under? hundreds? thousands? Did they kill women and children too? The grand revolution was the bloodiest conflict in the history of ever, you can't rule this fact out.

Kaz had led you a to an open field, it was divided further into several small arenas with chalk. They are too small for Ollad, this has to be for fencing. The field had a small changing room next to it.

It had just dawned upon you that you don't have your rapier OR the proper clothes for fencing. Luckily for you, Kaz got you covered " I believe this might suits you."

He gave you a white outfit while he wore a dark purple one with a golden outline. Yours felt extremely comfortable , It also smelt really nice "Is that ...daffodil?"

"Correct, My mother used to perfume her suit with daffodil fragrance oil for good luck. Now, Shall we warm up with or fake rapier or real ones? I have both."

" Be realistic, Johann. You will never land a hit on me." His words were full unparalleled confidence " Though, I appreciate your concern for me. Catch."

You caught a dull-pointed rapier mid-air. These particular rapiers are called drill if you remember correctly " For starters, I would like to 'learn' more of your freeform style.."

"What are you doing?"

"Switching hands." He held his rapier in his right hand " Handicapping myself, otherwise, I might get a bit too hot headed in the middle of the session... you don't want to return home with tiny bruises all over your chest, correct?"

It is up to you how do you want to do this.

"Hmph, I have seen worse." Kaz was unimpressed with your swift moves as you kept bobbing left and right try to bait him.

"I have seen enough..." in a flash. he stabbed your thrice in your chest with such ferocity that you took a few steps back before tripping over the ground.

+++ skill [??? to next level]

You landed ass first thankfully. Your chest was however still burning, even with all that padding of your suit.

"Are you alright?" The elf lent a hand for you to stand up.

"I am sorry, I-ARRGH!" Suddenly, He clutched to his head, almost collapsing on the ground.

" What was that?"

" I don't know, I am glad it is gone. This was an intense work out for the both of us. " Kaz helped you to get up.

Your stomach had to growl at this particular moment; you didn't eat anything so far this day " You must be famished after our vigorous match...why don't we eat somewhere? I know just the place."

"It is called hungry. What do you keep saying those words?"

"Because I can. I find certain words below me. So, what will it be?"

EVENING
_______________________________

You arrived back to the dorm expecting the worse from Mouten/Maq. According to other students, she:

-kept knocking on the tv for a full hour, asking it questions and eventually getting mad at it.
-Want to strangle the showerhead, took a bath with her clothes on
-kept chanting weird words all day long
-briefly went outside, came back with three cats, she was about to slaughter them for food with a kitchen knife.

They are chalking it under some hyper reaction against the moon dust but it is clear: you MUST stay with her for several days at least until she gets accustomed to your world. Miss Yuni had arranged the Arachni nurse to come here to give her a special moon shot.

You still got the flyer ad thing to do.

"Hey Maq, how it is-"

Yep. Another slap to the face.

" How DARE you? You left me surrounded by vile shadows. They want to slit my throat the moment I let my guard down!"

"Maq, There are no shadows in my world. Didn't you tell me your kind can't exist on their own here?"

"They are still shadows in my eyes you bloody idiot! Your world is uncanny and chaotic! Why does everyone wear this weak leathery armour? It is USELESS to protect my weak fleshy vessel. Find me a better one, NOW!" She was doing it, She was actually trying (and slightly failing) to take her shirt.

"Dominance?" You started to soften her up a bit, eventually explaining the idea of clothes to her. She was practically naked in the Moonworld.

"Fine, I will keep wearing this pathetic Tee shirt. There is something else I wanted to talk you about...Johann?"

"Can you give me...Five minutes tops? I'll be right back." You just had to eat something at this point. The TV dinner will do.

One dinner later, You returned back to Maq who was talking to Miss Yuni. "Moon shot? Are you bringing an executioner to our sanctuary , Mistress ? "

"Mistress? That's new. No, no! Oh, poor you. You must be very confused. No one will hurt you. You will be safe. I promise you..."

"What are yo- get off me you...you..." Maq was petrified in place when Miss Yuni gave her a motherly hug. She couldn't fully interpret what was going on.

"Everything will be alright. Don't you worry..." Maq just stood there for a couple of seconds without blinking as your guardian kissed her on the forehead before walking away.

"Maq? Maaaq? Hellllloooo."

"Yes, yes I am here. Your Mistress is...is..grhh." She shook her head " I want to go back to the Moonworld, I can't do it myself."

"You can't?"

"Yes, I think I might have lost most of my powers in this worthless body. I might retain my form once we are back."

You spent the whole evening trying to deconstruct her initial mindset. A whole new vocabulary for her to learn. This whole verbal bombardment was poorly executed from your side, only few words stuck with her.

"So she is a caretaker?"

"Not a caretaker...Miss Yuni, Guardian.."

Books can wait, Maq *needs* you right now. You kept preparing here for what is coming.

"An ....Elixir? My mind is sane. I don't need it."

"Just go with the flow, Maq. " That was the best explanation you had to come up with.

Miss Yuni wanted to speak with you away from Maq "Thank you for staying here with us, Johann. She is becoming very ...friendly towards you. Do you think this is part from the hallucinations she is experiencing ?"

"No idea, I know I gotta stick with her though." If only she knew...

It wasn't long before the Arachni had arrived on one hell of a motorbike. It was more of a modified small car, It still looked badass. This must have costed her a lot; A driving license for a Centaur/Arachni is a legit nightmare. It might cost even more than the car/bike itself!

" Miss Yuniscxa..." The nurse looked vastly different with chokers instead of necklaces and heavy black make up "...Where is our likhttle student? I don't want to be late for my bakhand."

"B-band?" Even Miss Yuni is surprise "Soft rock?"

"Yekhs, Among other genres...hey.." She finally noticed you "Give me your phkhone number or your Khat-Mhat . The test reskhults..."

You exchanged contacts with her before heading inside. The moment Maq saw Khakigg, she was absolutely terrified from her "GO AWAY, I DONT WANT YOU HERE!"

"Maq, Please calm down. Miss Khakigg is trying to help you." said Miss Yuni.

Maq , on the other hand , was in literal tears. The nurse didn't even unpack her stuff just yet.

The nurse is a professional, She should be able to handle this.

"DON'T COME ANY CLOSER! JOHANN, JOHANN!"

"Hang in there!" Miss Khakigg cornered her before opening her monstrous maw releasing some sort of yellowish vapours.

"Jo..joh..."

+Maq

"What are you-"

"Relax, Miss Yuniscxa, My natkhural sedatives are approved by our health department." Just like that, Maq had loosened up. This evolutionary advantage was for sedating their preys to make the whole blood sucking process... less messy than usual.

After a quick examination, Miss Khakigg had injected her with this special Moon shot syringe. The fluid inside was light grey unlike the blueish one you took.

"She will stay in thkhis deep sleep state for one to twkho days. This is norkhmal. Do you need anything else? "

"Oh, no,no. Thank you , Miss Khakigg. You have done so much for us already."

"Part of the jokhb. Goodbye." With that said, The Arachni packed her stuff and left. You could still hear the roaring sound of her bike all the way across the street.

"That movie SUCKED."

"Silent Bill 2? More like Boring No-Kill 2!"

"Can't believe i wasted THREE hours on that taur."

And the reviews were in. Looks like the movie had flopped real hard. Good thing you didn't waste your time with it.

There was something different about the garden that you couldn't put your hands on. The masked dryad was sitting by himself on a small bench almost daydreaming.

" Sup." You casually greeted him.

"Oh, erm, hello." The Dryad blinked twice as he muffled his yawn. " I wanted to speak with you about , well, my recent mediation."

"The Vaku-something or whatever?"

"No, That's-" He wanted to correct you but he had a more pressing matter to address " I saw you twice, in my celestial spot and my dreams...it is a sign."

" I saw ...." He hesitated to continue "...I saw your death."

"The hell?" that came out of nowhere.

"You were crushed by a massive black wave held together by invisible strings from above. Johann, you are in terrible danger. My visions never lie. It is my duty as the Verannshu-Magarti to warn who needs to be saved."

"Yes, I am what you can call a first seed."

"I have heard this name before..." Yeah, It was all over the news a few years ago.

" The great ancestors of the dryads are called Allmothers, very few are still fertile to this day. I am one of the offspring of Allmother Vakahihan. All First seeds are touched by the stars. In a way, we can see the future."

"Is Miss Allmother your mom?" you asked.

"Yes...and no.." He was in conflict "All of our dead are buried under the Allmother. You can say that I am the son of my all dryads. Johann, can I ask you something?"

"Shoot."

"Can you mediate with me? I want to reaffirm my visions."

"Thank you. Now listen up..." The masked dryad gave you a brief instructions on how to meditate. The gist of is to simply close your eye and let the world melt away into nothingness.

This.was. boring. You didn't see or hear ANYTHING inside your mind or whatever but hey, It made Veishu happy "Did you see anything?"

"No, I don't know if this is a good sign or not." He replied " D-did I waste your time?"

"Not at all. " A white lie is a good one.

Ah yes, Alexad and Miet book store in the infamous Sanada or Sanda district. The worst of the worst. You uh don't know exactly how to go there.

You could ask Miss Yuni to drive you there but this will take a lot of time. Alternatively, you could just for directions and go there yourself...question is: Is it safe?

There is one last sleazy option: Call/text someone you know and coax them to give you a ride. Do you know someone like that though?

You still don't get it, Johann. We are not friends. Please, Let us remain professional in our relationship; unnecessary attachments often ruins healthy relationships. I would advise you to conclude your business quickly in Sanda...an orc girl nearly our age has been brutally raped and killed. Yesterday. <

The first bus you took had stopped in a heavily armed police checkpoint leading to a road tunnel. Everyone was forced to transfer to a new empty bus on the other side after some thorough inspection by the police. You felt like crossing some disputed borders with all these measures. The dryad policewoman kept hammering you with questions while scanning the shit out of you.

"He's clean. Next."

The new bus you got into was something out of a Deranged Makz movie; all the windows were heavily reinforced with steel plates with two policemen armed with a shotty ready to blast anyone in a blink. The policeman at the front was standing next to....a gas mask dispenser? the hell?

"Firzt Vizit to Zanda ?" asked the wingless pixie with a...bold choice of clothes sitting next to you " You look like a zatourn out of a zhaft."

You didn't know what she meant. The pixie made you feel a bit queasy.

" Uppzer touriztz, pheh. Herez my advice, ztay on the zurface...you'll get eaten alive down there."

Uppser? Okay. The tunnel (which had some concerning cracks all over by the by) kept sloping downwards, The few flickering lights showed decades-old advertisements for.... a mining facility?

"Woah..." through the small slits in the window, you saw a whole new life bustling right under Koris. Densely packed shithole with buildings almost reaching the concrete ceiling above. It was like an undercity with clouds of...black...smoke...

You couldn't breathe the moment you were officially in Sanda. One of the police officers stomped towards your with a mask "Stupid Softlung, where is your brand identification?"

He scanned it briefly before handling you a new one " It expires after a single day. You can buy more at any police station or any medial supplies store. This one is for free." Several passengers had already put on their masks while others weren't bothered by this unbreathable air at all.

One final thing you noticed was how few elves are here in Sanda, at least from your first glance which is quite the opposite on the surface.

"Whatever. " He returned to the dispenser bearing his previous no-nonsense expression.

" Take the first right then walk to that red building..." said the bus driver. Looks like this is your stop.

Everything was stonewashed and miserable around you, the people of Sanda looked....wrong somehow; maybe it is the pollution choking their lives out or this district-wide poverty eating them bit by bit. At any rate, Koris is a blooming paradise in comparison.

"Hey kid, wanna a pick-me-up?"

" Uppser, uppser, got free masks right about this corner. Step right up."

" You and me , Softie, One Downtrshaft for 40 pons. Come on~"

Everyone was trying to snag a bite out of you. If there is a next time, you won't go there by yourself ever again. Ah there it is, the book store. You are there in one piec-

Hold on, Is that Miss Stag down the street? What is she doing here??

"Miss Stag!"

"Oh, it is you..." She wasn't as enthusiastic as you were " What are you doing here, boy?"

"Still haven't bought my books." You pointed at the book store "Too poor to buy new books so here I am."

"Uh-huh." She kept looking around" Hows your girlfriend? You two didn't forget about our little meeting, right? I can pay Yunyun a visit and tell her everything in one good afternoon.."

"You want me to buy a book for you?" You were confused.

"No, no, I already have it. It is part of a collection : The Soupern Isles Spices XII. I keep forgetting to pay them back. Just...don't mention my name, Only the book. "

"You sure...uh, That's a stack and a half." You were sweating bullets; your chances of getting shivved just got higher.

"It's a rare book. The old couple will double the price if they knew it was me."

"O-okay...see you later, Miss Stag."
______________________________

You zipped through the street as quickly as possible, your heart kept pounding hard than a car engine even when you were inside the bookstore. That place was huuuge, like a big ass depot with hundreds of books for sale. Lots of them were in several discount bins, few books were actually in shelves. You can't imagine what is it like in the underground vault.


The store itself had a few customers browsing about and a fucking policewoman. Seriously? Is someone really going to rob books? That is obscene. Though to be fair, the two humans running the store were very, very old.

You went to the counter and pressed one of those classic service call bells "How can I help you, dearie? " Miet slowly made her way towards you, She and her husband were having lunch in the back.

"W-whaa.." Her hand started to tremble dropping her pen on the floor "W-who sent you?"

"Ma'am , are you alright?" The policewoman had her hand on her hostler.

"I-i am alright. My back is acting up again." Miet was waiting for your reply.

" You're from Garsis? That mask gives you away. Real men come out of Halvek." If you had to guess, that is the academy of this district.

The Old lady pointed at the nearest discount pin which had what you wanted in separate bags " Pick one."

You had a feeling that she won't let you inspect the books first, not after your first impression. All the plastic bags looked similar so It was a matter of luck to get a decent set of books.

" I'll take.... this one. How much?"

"300 pons."

Damn it! Luckily for you, You got enough pons to buy them AND to get back to the dorm....with only 2 pons. Back to being poor again.

"Why they're reporting this crap? Orc rape and kill anything with a hole, water is it wet. Get it over already!" said one angry elf in your fourth bus for the day.

"The media is looking for anything to report..." replied another " Have you seen Sanda? place is a fucking zoo. You..." The second guy noticed your mask on top of your plastic bag "What is it like down there?"

"That's the truth right there. The council keep the scum down there because they are a bunch of greedy sons of bitches. Mining this, Mining that! I am sick of that shit." That guy had a really negative stance against the people of Sanda and how the council handles the bottom of the social status system. You gained some insight from his endless ranting about cheap labor and other exploitative schemes in the worst district of Cairth.

"You can do it, Johann. H-High five to victory.."

Everyone was gathered around the TV as you two were ready to duke it out. Veisha was cheering for you as well as some students who wanted an underdog to win for a change.

"I am going to pick the weakest shrimp of them all just so you can have a chance. Best of Three."

She picked Eiela the reaper. Is it really that bottom tier? Your choice matters here so choose carefully!

You went with the wall this time, his defense was the highest but damn he sucks ass at everything. Watching this match was like watching two geezers trying to gum each other to death; The reaper could barely scratch the wall while the wall was too slow to catch up with the reaper.

Your brown haired opponent had the patience of a saint, switching tactics mid-round. You have to decide whether you should lose on purpose in the first round to learn more of her playstyle or you should do your damnest to beat her ass.

If you let her win first round, that'll make the second (and hopefully the third) much more harder due to the reaper's ability. However, losing your first round might let her guard down since she would be underestimating your true power. Winning is great but it might bite you in the ass later on.

You ignored everything and gave it all you got. This was the ultimate nibble-down with you gaining a considerable advantage thanks to your tanking potential...

...but eventually you lost the first round. She just kept switching her tactics and you couldn't keep up with her. The second round didn't last long with her OP reaper. You lost under the one minute mark. Fuck.

The eyes fixed their burning gaze upon you「I am but an instrument for a perfect world. There must be no compromises. But...the irredeemable fate of this cycle can be postponed.」

"What do you mean?"

「I am willing to strike a bargain with you, son of none. Purge the festering sins consuming this lawless place and I shall leave your cycle unscathed and return to slumber.」

"..." Despite your bravado, Your heart was skipping a few beats.

「Lust shall be your first sin to purge. A soul blackened by desire roams freely, it will commit more and more heinous acts unless you stop it 」The eyes focused on Maq instead, could it be? Could her killer and the orc's be the one and the same?

"What If i don't want to follow your shitty rules, huh?"

「Then, I shall claim a soul intertwined to your fate in the 30th of days. Your consent is irrelevant.」

2:???

Just like that, The world has returned to normal...to some extent; the two moons are still having a single bright eye watching over everyone. No one seems to notice anything.

No one but Maq.

"Johann, I...I heard everything. You are ..." She looked depressed " I understand your need to get stronger...but...with the one who murdered Eplis? The *real* Maq too? Am I nothing to you?"

>There are bigger stakes out there, Maq.

"He murdered my master and my sister...I can't forgive him but I'll trust your judgement." Her cold hands grabbed yours. " Please promise me that you won't be persuaded from the right path. He who brings ruin must be stopped."

"You got that." That is a promise you WILL fulfill.

" Misrt-Miss Yuni said that I have a week of free time. I won't go to your house of scholars according to some paper she had. We should go to the Moonworld... I know where to start our search. I'll explain more about our Labyrinth and Moonworld later."

Yep, She keeps delaying that one bit you were waiting for. Fine, fine, you will wait.

-Pod: Maq explores her ' parchments of knowledge'

You need money and food, there is only one place to go: Alute.

"Welcome to Alute! where the price is ALWAYS ri-oh heyyy.." Tecig had finished restocking the freezer before addressing you "That Horned turkey the last customer bought was one week away from expiring! Lucky me, huh?"

"I guess, soooo...."


"Ahhh right, Work...Hold on , let me just..." He kept rummaging below the counter. "there! . Your braaand new apron. Tadaaa!"

First of all, It wasn't new like at all, it had several tiny cuts here and there. This apron had a literal plastic sign of his shop duct taped on the front "What are you waiting for?"

The second traitor was Okilion. 'Knowledge Hiding' 'Hindering War effort' 'Kingslayer' They called it.

The first contact between elves and pixies was very bloody to say the least. It was almost impossible to reason with those xenophobic isolationists. Conflict was always the end result. The burst of suicidal/rage inducing and other chemical always made the pixies the victors of any short lived battle. That was until the Low king of Cairth has captured on of the brightest mindset of the pixies at the time: Okilion.

The elves dangled the life of his wingless daughter in front of him forcing the scholar to work against his own people for the safety of his people. Okilion had no choice but to agree.

In a matter of months, the ongoing conflict between the pixies and the elves though several fronts was coming to an end. His every people are either killed or enslaved by his inventions.

The Low king himself was to knight the pixie as a first non-elf to join the Variefath Uelan , the order of the six swords but alas, Okilion knew the horrible crime done by the elf's young prince...He had deflowered and killed his daughter in a drunken night. The Low king tried to hide the truth but it was too late.

Consumed by guilt and sin, The pixie had destroyed everything related to his research beforehand, leaving nothing but ash. The Low king splashed molten iron (which was part of the ceremony.) at his face. Okilion's blast of chemicals was power enough that EVERYONE within the royal palace had perished in agony.

Is that...Leviarine ???? The hell is she doing here?

Her perfect golden hair was slightly frazzled hiding most of her face, you almost couldn't recognize Miss perfect.

She still looked a like a beauty.

A confused one, The elf had a very long shopping list. Her eyes kept darting to what was on sale ignoring you two in the meantime.

"..." She was absorbed by her long ass list muttering to herself "This will do..."

"Excuse me, can you bring me these items? I want the ones in red in three bags, the ones in blue in a small bag, the ones in purple in..." She kept going on and on and on without rest or pity.

"Johann...did you write that down? I'm lost."

"I got it, can I..?" You wanted to take a closer look at her list when you accidentally brushed against her hand.

"DONT.TOUCH.ME!!!!!!" She screamed like a banshee coiling in disgust before hyper-ventilating like crazy. This was NOTHING like that princess in your class. The Chosen one whipped out a sanitizer and a tissue from her pocket as she was on the verge of tears.

"Haphephobia, Mysophobia. Fear of any skin contact, Fear of germs." Her wallet had on of those medical cards licensed by a certified doctor. "I-I am trying to overcome my phobias but...It's no use. I am fine, thank you."

You brought everything she wanted for the counter, you let Tecig do the cashiering "That's 1000 Pons."

"I know." Her wallet had exactly the right amount of pons. " Can you lift them for me? Your upper body str-" She stopped herself, almost biting her tongue.

You looked at your elven boss, he gave you a shrug with a half eaten " I dunno."

So many bags, It wasn't about the weight ; They were too uncomfortable to lift at the same time. You expected her to make you walk all the way to her fancy limo or something like that at the end of the street but nope, you were dead wrong.

She directed you to the building opposite to the Dorm.

"I haven't seen you here before." You wanted to confirm your suspicion first.

"Yes, I have just moved here today. These exact coordinates are excellent for my lunar research. The Xo Megalith Waves sync perfectly with my Extra-Ludethian graphs. Though, the real *real* perfect match is...." She stood several steps backwards eventually standing in the middle of the street "....right here."

"E.Y.E? You mean Estok Yesod Effect? It hasn't been recorded in 9 Yesod Lunar Convergence. I have sent my purposed hypothesis on how to lessen its serious gravitational effects on our extremities. Our legs will be OK." You do know what she is talking about. Tonndust, you experienced it once. Lasted three whole weeks even after the moon was gone.

"..."

"What? No! I-"

The Elf pulled out three pair of gloves, already wearing them "You can drop my bags now. Thank you for your service."

"I am NOT making fun of you. Don't be like that." Your words echoed in the empty street "Besides, I can't leave you alone in the middle of the night."

"I don't want to do this but..." Leviarine held her crescent shaped necklace gently " This is a panic button. The policeman parking outside will come running at press of a button. Go away, I want to be left alone..."

As usual, you were sandwiched in the bus trying your best not to bump into the old lady next to you. Sheesh, no one wants to offer their seats to her. Talk about manners...

"Outta way, kid." A large burly orc twice your size squeezed himself between you and the old lady. He then proceeded to slip his stubby fingers in her hand bag. No one seemed to notice.

In a tenth of a second, the orc was pushing his way to the exit after elbowing your nose. The bus driver, who was also an orc, had none of that shit; he pulled the brakes before smacking
him with a short baton.

You were still fuzzy after that elbow hit but you noticed two things right away:

Your nose was bleeding and....that orc had a knife on him. Other passengers were keeping their distance from this potentially lethal brawl.

The bus driver was barely keeping the knife away from his face when you smacked the taur out of that guy with your eternal backpack. It wasn't enough to knock the living daylights out of the thief but it DID make him drop the knife stunning him briefly.

That smack gave the bus driver enough chance to overwhelm the orc until the police had eventually arrived. Everyone was just..watching. What's wrong with these people?

The third cop to arrive on the scene was that centaur cop who came to your dorm. He briefly returned to his modified police car to bring his first aid kit. While the rest of his blue buddies were handcuffing that asshole, he was checking on you " You can't just keep your nose out of trouble , can you?"

>I am fine [Wipe the blood out of your nose]

"Heh." The centaur cracked a smile behind his helmet "There. We'll take it from here." He patched you up in no time "I'll come to your dorm today for the report tonight. Now go." Damn, looks like you are not going anything this evening. Better hurry to Garsis.

Just before taking another bus, that old lady insisted on giving you a reward. You kept telling her that this was the right thing to do but her mind was set.

MORNING
_____________________________


Right at the main gate, A bunch of students were forming a quasi-blockade "Garsis weekly! Buy our newspaper while it lasts!"

"Support our newspaper, get the latest news right here!"

" Are we in danger? Read alll about it in our newspaper. Written by yours truly: Gwinyr Vicquell ! "

So that is her name, Gwinyr. Journalist-in-making blocked your path for the second time "30 Pons, pay up."

"Are you insane? Are the pages made out of gold or something?"

"What?!" She was deeply offended by your question " You should *support* us, duh! We work our asses of to provide you the best of the best. Don't poor your way out of this one!"

You did look slightly more badass with your recent injury, not to gloat or anything but it felt good having others talking about you. They'll do more once that report is finished.

+++ Socialize

Little Miss perfect's desk was like a mini-library with every single inch covered by books, for a split second, she made any contact with you before hiding her face under her books.

Did you go too rough on her? Despite her wavering her panic button yesterday, you felt like she...well, she wanted to be left alone. Maybe she isn't your average uppity know-it-all elf. You should apologize to her sometime.

This small interaction was caught by the other elven students who were entirely ignored by Leviarine so far. This is not good.

You looked to the empty desk of your absent partner...nothing new here except a whole new fresh painting. Silver and shiny without any offensive doodles. Not for long anyways; one of the elven pricks had a permanent marker ready to do his thing.

You quickly snatched it before throwing it out of the window with a good old shit eating grin "Problem?"

The elf didn't get the chance to retaliate as Mr. Kosingsough slowly made it to the class. He yawned for three minutes straight "Good...morning....students....Today, we...will..."

He took literally forever to get to the main point. An introduction to several unique soil types " How do you...get the ....maximum yield out...of... Allmother Galilu's soil?"

Leviarine was already raising her hands while Veishu was on the fence about it; he kept raising and lowering his hand.

Eh, You don't care about what is going on. Instead, You plunged into the abyssal depths that is the library. There was literally no one but you, bogza and the always-pissed-off pixie librarian.

" Wuzzap, Jonz?" The Librarian wasn't happy with the orc's loud voice " Zzzzzzzzzzhhhhhh!"

The main headline was: THE SICKENING BETRAYAL OF 900 STUDENTS. It was written by none other than Gwinyr Vicquell herself.

The first couple of paragraphs were some flowery taurshit about Garsis and the importance of a proper education, blah, blah...

Then the heavy ordnance started to bombard the lengthy article with the real history behind Grubb. He was a famous boxer known as 'Miracle Punch Grubb' who had actual gold skin [a very rare orc mutation] who crump stomped anyone in his boxing career until the day he accidentally killed his elven opponent with a single punch in the finals of some tournament.

He spent ten years in prison for Involuntary elfslaughter (he had a pretty damn good lawyer and the judge was a fan of his) where he became a dedicated toymaker who survived 36 attacks from various prison gangs, elf supermacists and more. When he served his time, he couldn't find any decent job due to his record and so he settled in for a janitor in Garsis.

The real sickening accident happened 25 years ago where counter-pixie laws were still lax. A pixie student was in a heated argument with the principal when she had entered a frenzied like state in front of the principal, his daughters who came to visit him , 3 teachers and 12 students nearby.

This student was about to release surge of chemical in a burst of emotions when Grubb grabbed her by force so he could move her away from everyone. Her constant struggle combined with the orc's sudden movement caused him to snap her neck instead killing her instantly.

The principal saved this child-killer pouring all of his resources to make Grub a free orc instead of joining another F'teethiem. Everyone involved went to with principal story : An 'accident' happened, the pixie student fell from the stairs and broke her neck. Only through meticulous research was the truth revealed. Sadly, The police couldn't be bothered with such a old case and the student didn't have any living relatives.

That is the truth of Grubb. The ruthless orc killer who should be behind bars.

...

...

You asked yourself: What do you make of all of this?

>...

>he didn’t know his own strength made mistakes and killed two people by accident both happening a ong time ago, this shouldn’t affect how you see him now.

>>
>>4268606
>>...There’s a difference between killing someone, and accidentally getting someone killed. We know the difference, because like it or not, it’s our fault Eplis is dead. Grubb is not a killer, just someone that tries his hardest, despite things going wrong.
>>
>>4268628

>Grub is one of the nicest people we know. He even went out of his way to help us clean our pixie partners desk.
>>
>>4268606
>how dare she? Grub made mistakes sure. But he's more then atoned for them. A privileged little taurshit elf like this journalist is never going to realize the discrimination and hardships people like us and grub face just for not being born an elf.

No, You refuse to believe her lies. These deaths were not intentional, especially the second one which actually saved lives. He is a good man at heart who would never harm anyone. That is the truth.

The recent memory of Eplis struck the back of your head like a mallet. You too are responsible for her death...does this makes you a killer too? No. Shit happens, you just got to know how to deal with it.

This feeling....like with that flower...

~The true nature of this item is yet to be revealed~

AFTER SCHOOL
____________________

You have no idea what happened with the principal and the horde of misguided students and teachers . For once, you are standing with an elf on that one. He had every right to protect Grubb from the law. They wouldn't understand, to them, he is just another criminal , another patchskin to throw in prison.

It is all fucked up. Everyone is talking about it all because of one disgusting elf hounding for fame and glory through the misery of others.

"Bunch of tryhards." She wasn't impressed with your choice of music genre. "Lets go, don't wanna be late for my own stream."

_______________________

Mestaph was lucky enough to find a seat while you stood up with the rest like usual "You have never been in this part of town, right?"

"Yeah." The area in Koris was very different from the old crumbling buildings you see everyday. Flashy stores and shops built across the river with a very stark highway bridge leading to nowhere.


New Location Discovered

「Underbridge」

Home of many shops businesses suited for minors and adults , Start your shopping spree here!

The commercial heart of Koris was originally demolished to make way for an inter-district highway complex system when said project was abandoned in favor of the Rail-First program, that and the ground wasn't suitable for a proper foundation. Slowly, various businesses became to reclaim this area once more turning the unfinished highway into a mega-complex shopping center. The commercial heart of Koris was reborn.

"Bad guy?"

"Yep." You nodded.

"Totally deserved." She checked her phone "10 mins for stream, lets hurry."

You could have avoided all of this if you have some laptop in the dorm where you could mod from there instead of going all the way here. Oh well. Anyways, You followed her inside the giant unexplored belly of the underbridge. So many people left and right, it wasn't much of a surprise to see so many policemen here; shoplifting is bound to be a daily occurrence.

Finally, you reached your the cafe. Its aggressive design was made for the so called 'pro gamers' with a whole lot of video game-related themed covering every single inch of the Cafe; you saw a replica of the Litcher's Zewihander, the iconic dagger and chains of the Princess of Versia and the charred suit of worn by the HOOM Slayer among other items. That looks expensive, the owner must be raking pons to afford all of that decor.

"That parry!"

"Sub 20 HYPE!"

"WR Come oooon!"

The cafe was very busy right now with almost everyone watching a current speedrun of someone named ShadowSops on a wide screen, that guy had an excellent pace so far according to the timer on the left side of the screen.

Mestaph went straight for the counter with a mixture of anger and disgust drawn on her face " Is my room ready, N?"

"Sure is, M." The owner of the cafe was a skinny centaur in with a lot of tattoos and piercings. Her dyed hair was painfully purple with several strikes of green here and there. Literally everything she wore was pop-culture related "Is that your new baby mod? Go easy on him. Too green."

" My room's Keycard, N." Mestaph was clearly pissed right now, She snatched a white keycard out of the centaur's hand before dragging you upstairs to one of many soundproof rooms with a high end PC.

"What streaming platform are you using?"

" Rararoul, Obvs." She opened several new tabs linking you to her streaming channel " The UI is streamlined, commands is on the left. Any questions?"

Your available commands were: TIMEOUT, SLOW DOWN , BAN, HOTSPOT.

"My hair? Eh, it is fine."

"It is not. Have you seen the other girls?" that was a bit too blunt.

" My resistance to girl gossip is 100%. Don't need the plus charisma modifiers." The side talk briefly distracted her from the main problem here "So you are not mad? No Ts?"

"No Taur here, for real. It was a new experience for me. Just how in the hell did they dox me so fast though?'

"They got some serious hackers in their team. Your monitor had a Cam."

You almost laughed at this idea " The hacker Known as Shadowkids strikes again! Oh nooo."

" I am not jk. Their 'community' is based on fear mongering. They have no love for games, they only care about Pons and more pons....that's why I left."

The two of you went downstairs, things were getting quieter down there; just a bunch of kids your age playing on their handheld consoles and enjoying a variety of drinks.

"Hows the run?" The Centaur running the cafe asked Mestaph.

"Sucks, N. Sucks duotio. Oh right, Johann, this is Miss Noir." She introduced you to her.

The dorm had two police cars and a van with the N.S.G.O logo on it . Wasn't this the politics channel you tuned in the other day?

Three policemen were talking to Miss Yuni outside by the time you got there. They obviously wanted to talk with you but there was a TV reporter on the scene who wanted a piece of you for a different reason...or at least that is what your gut is telling you. That elf lady is the exact grown up replica of Gwinyr. Damn.

"This will only a take a minute." It was the reporter who snatched you first, you would imagine that the police would wait for no one but they did nothing; in fact, the three of them were collectively oogling her long slender legs and her tigh-

"All set!" her human cameraman was preparing for the shot "In 4..3..2..1..aaand..."

"What could have been another fatal orc accident in transit has been swiftly ended when a young student from Garsis academy had intervened before the police would arrive on scene. Good evening, folks, this is Forthyr Vicquell reporting live with our young man, Johann Fol."

"H-hi" You waved at the camera for some reason with a stupid smile on your face.

"Tell me in your own words, Johann, what happened exactly?"

" Our Fair city-state could use more bright and brave souls like you. That's all folks, W-" The ear bud on her right kept buzzing, someone just flooded a whole sea of words in that ear bud in mere seconds.

"BREAKING NEWS." The Cameraman ignored you completely focusing on the reporter " An elven student, 15, was found...oh moon, decapitated and gutted in Gabiel district. Stay tuned for more live updates about this potential serial killer."

Oh fuck. A third one already? What should you do ?

You spent the rest of the evening with the three police officers. They didn't care that much about the incident itself; their eyes were on the orc's previous affiliation with a street gang.

"The Mag Boyz...you know nothing about them?"

"No idea." Your honesty disappointed them.

"Be on the lookout for any suspicious patc-orc who wants to offer you a '''job'''. The Mag Boyz are targeting kids of your academy for their drug trafficking. Don't fall for their shit."

"Got it, sir."

______________________________

The first thing you did afterwards was looking for Maq, She was 'practicing' with the kitchen's knives slicing air like a true cyberdemon "Have you heard?"

"Yes, The glass box told me. We need to go to the Moonworld at the first sign of dawn." Maq sheathed her knife her pants.

"I got school so wh-"

"No you are not. There is a ceremonial day in the next sun cycle called Road to Revolution day. You should be without any scholarly burden . This is not negotiable ."

Goopy says: You got 2 Unread Msgs O.o!

After having a leftover breakfast, you went to Maq straight away who was talking to TV once more. You could hear the roaring celebrations and parades from outside. Sucks.

"Morning."

"I know that, Too loud, this ceremonial day." Right, you still need to work on her everything "Where is your moon portal?"

"It is uuuh, in my pod? There is one in the academy."

Slapped. Twice "IDIOT! Such a secret emblem should be HIDDEN! What if Miss Yuni touch it?"

"Relaaax, you said only i can do the portal thing." You were starting to develop a thicker skin from all those slaps.

"I demand a new portal somewhere hidden from prying eyes. Private, only accessible to us. Our very own Sanctuary."

Miss Yuni is utilizing every single inch of the Dorm. There was no where truly private in any of the three floors. Someone can and will see you vanishing in thin air if you do it here.

"Satisfied? Can we-"

"No. We shall consult the gentle lover of this Human: Elenna." Oh no, this cant be good.

The elf was dressed in orange and purple , the opposite colours of royalist or the 'rebellious colours'. ready to have fun outside when Maq grabbed her by the arm "Great lover: Guide us to privacy and seclusion."

"W-whaat~?" The elf was blushing like mad.

>Not us, H-her! She uh, want to study alone!

"What is wrong with studying here?"

"Aid me, gentle lover."

"S-stop saying that!" Elenna was about to explode, She just couldn't handle it and left without saying a word.

"Good Job."

"If she is not an underling and she is very close to Maq then she *is* a lover." You could only sigh in response.

"Look, lets just do it this time in my pod then we will worry about your sanctuary. deal?"

She nodded in defeat. Moon time.

You found yourself in a familiar hellscape over viewing your own labyrinth. Ruin in Form has claimed it for its own. A sea of shadowy hands pours out of your labyrinth, ready to snatch anyone who comes close. Still, You felt an immense power growing inside of you; at any moment, you could either summon your persona or pull out your heart to assume your moonless form.

"DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN ITTTTT!!!!!!" Mouten or you should say Maq was still....well, Maq. "I AM STILL STICK IN THIS USELESS PITIFUL FORM. DAMN IT ALL, DAMN IT AAALLL!!!!!!"

"Maq.." She looked down at the puddle of rotten blood on the ground " Back when the fanged healer came to administer the elixir....that irrational fear. It wasn't mine."

"What do you mean?"

"I have killed far more gruesome shadows than the eight-legged healer. My-Her thoughts paralyzed my body. Maq *was* afraid, not me."

"So you are saying you have a bit of Maq inside your head?" You are no expert in body possessing side-effects but that was first your first guess.

"Some of her memories, fears and loathings...they are still inside. Somewhere." Maq stood up clenching her fists "Enough self pity, I know where are we going: My master's tomb. Now, hold me tightly."

"Ngh..good..good.." She winced in pain "Now close your eyes and think of a place that exists between dream and reality..Mind and matter...What do you see?"

You saw visions of somewhere abandoned, an unfinished soul trapped inside for eternity with a twisted smile on its face. You saw...you saw...

>...
>>
>That the person's grin is agonized, a cry for help. They grieve for what they lost. The place is abandoned because others abandoned it, KNOWING they were there. Is there escape? Is there relief, reprieve, solace? Maybe there is...?
>>
>>4272767
>A man with a long nose, like that of a tengu a wide smile. An abandoned room red the color not of blood, but of velvet. The mans grin is one of renewed hope. The first champion in so long to grace his hidden sanctuary of velvet.
>>
>>4272777
>>4272781

Whatever your vision was, it was affecting the world around you reconstructing and deconstructing it before your eyes. This wasn't like going back and forth through some moon portal. It felt like some kind of a out-of-body experience.

"M-mouten?" Her body resisting this process solely by grabbing onto you. You were like some ethereal anchor. Now, you don't feel so bad in squeezing her too hard.

_____________________________

VELVET ???

______________________________

"Where are we?" This new place was ...creepy. Just piles and piles of junk obscured by blue fog in a large round hall? You can't see shit, so dark.

"Welcome to the Velvet Room...that is what my master would have said. " She pulled a flashlight out of her pocket " Help me find White. He is ... you will know it when you see him."

"Is White your master?" what a strange and plain name.

"Yes...and no. He is a part of him. There he is!" She pointed her light at a rusty old ...rabbit doll? in a tux? with shackles? It hard a VERY creepy smile that will haunt you in your dreams.

"Now what? The hell..." A golden orb came out of you, It kept floating above the door.

"This...this is what is left of Eplis. All powerful shadows have Makka, our true essence. This is her last gift to you and me."

The creepy rabbit doll twitched the moment the orb touched it " White is like no one else. Not a shadow, not a mortal...He is a hollow vessel who needs immense Makka to reawakened after an eternity of maddening loneliness. Once the Makka is gone, any trace left of sister is gone with it too..."

"Yes, We find another similar Makka of a higher shadows..." She wanted this so bad but she couldn't say it with clear conscience "...we are too weak and to hunt powerful shadows we don't have much time."

"Shit, don't make me choose." The First sons came to mind , could their Makka be powerful enough?

"I can't. It is up to you , though..|..I believe Maq's body can develop its own persona."

"For real?"

"She is a mortal. We are born from your thoughts." Her eyes were fixed on the lifeless doll " White had learned so much from my master, I think he could bring Eplis back to life as a persona bound to me...or.."

"Or what?"

"He could render the human me moonless again. It is the only way i could fight alongside you." Words alone were full of pain. You couldn't imagine what the procedure would be like.

Regardless, You must choose.

>Reawaken White with Golden Makka, Eplis will be forever gone.
>DONT Reawaken White with Golden Makka, Find another powerful Makka instead

AND

>Maq will have Eplis as a persona [Must find another Makka for White first]
>Maq will be rendered Moonless [Any of the two above choices]
>Maq will develop her OWN persona [Any of the two above choices]
>>
this is a BIG decision so choose carefully!
>>
>>4272880
>DONT Reawaken White with Golden Makka, Find another powerful Makka instead
>Maq will develop her OWN persona [Any of the two above choices]

These are our best options for a good outcome. It'd be wrong to rob maq of life if her soul is still inside that body with mouten

"Is this your final choice?"

"Hell YEAH!" You fist-pumped the air for some reason "Gotta ask you a quickie: Where you serious about me smelling all delicious and stuff?"

"What? Oh...oh..." Her face went pink as she remembered your first encounter with the Terror Horse from the deep "Yes, the power within you smelled like a whole new flavor of Makka. I was barely holding myself from..."

>Eating me?

"..." She revved her hand before landing a colossal slap on your right cheek sending you flying over to the next pile of junk

"ENOUGH with the slapping! " all of your previous thick skin was gone.

"I will stop when you stop being A BLOODY IDIOT. "

"Owww, you have some real anger issu- whats that?" you pulled what seems to be a ...bell with two cute rabbit ears.

"Poor White, He couldn't escape when our master was killed...he must have spend all of his Makka trying to be useful for the next Son of none." Mouten did tell you that there were others before you, looks like none had made it to this point. "This bell is useful as a weapon, would you like to use it?"

"No, I am afraid I am too weak to heed its powers." Well that sucks "I will be your navigator for the time being. I know my world better than you. "

" Right. You didn't tell me, how are we going purge lust?"

" We'll have to find their labyrinth first. A sick person like them WILL have a labyrinth somewhere, they are unaware of its existence unlike you. Allow me to explain..."

「 LABYRINTH I」
-The veil between the two worlds grow thinner with each day. As ruin approaches, Wishes, twisted pain, desires, regret, guilt and other emotions...they all manifest as labyrinths. Powerful beings can manifest Labyrinths where newer shadows are born
-Each Labyrinth is consisted of a certain amount of floors with the lowest one being the heart room
-The heart room is the core of any labyrinth, it contains the primordial shadow.
-The primordial shadow is a unique shadow born from the Labyrinth's owner. Once it is defeated or killed, the labyrinth shall crumble into nothingness.
-Any Labyrinth can affect the real world and vice versa, certain events can also affect any labyrinth.

" Your Labyrinth is a special one; Ruin in Form had taken control of it. In a way, it *is* your primordial shadow after consuming your underdeveloped one."

"What happens if we destroyed it?" you had this question on your mind for a while.

"I don't know, I haven't done it before."

"Seriously? Guess we will have to find out." Maq was waiting for more questions.

You returned back the Moonworld but...something felt very, very wrong. Instead of the hellish wasteland you are accustomed to, you found yourself under the scorching gaze of a blue moon in an endless red desert.

"Ow ow ow owww!" Your feet were practically sizzling " Where the hell are we???"

"The Darr-Ramel. My brother isn't fond of visitors. He shapes the land around him into something most inhospitable." That sounds like a labyrinth right there but it is probably not.

"Yeah, no shit. Oh cool, A respite point..."

"Johann, wait! Don't-" You ignored Maq as you felt compelled to touch something! Ooooh , there are LOTS of goodies out in this moonlit desert!

"Awww maaaan." You went through all of this for a single pon.

"Bloody idiot, Charging like that will get you killed!" Maq wasn't faring any better, she too was drenched in sweat.

"Have you *seen* my wallet? It is my duty to feed it more delicious pons."

"I was about to say that I know who to draw his attention before you waltzed off like that." She wouldn't bother with a slap under the blistering moon " There should be several statues half buried in the sands, they will show us the path."

"What is a dick?" hooo boy, you decided to drop it before it gets more awkward.

After trudging through more sand, you finally reached that half-buried statue. It was of a mouthless black elfoid in a red cowled robe with a brilliant long scarf flying high in the skies. You squinted your eyes to the horizon, there were several of these statues. Going through all of them will be one hell of a journey.

"Careful, some of them may be an illusion." Maq gave you a fair warning.

The answer was very, very simple. You would have to follow the flying red scarves while ignoring the rest of the statues. That was your first theory anyways.

Treasures started to appear more and more the further you marched in this scorched land. While you were more than temped to open them all, you barely have enough energy to continue your march. All of that scraf-chasing has led you to a special statue in white and gold.

"Is that it?" You are going to be pissed if you wasted all of your breath on nothing.

"Yes, allow me." Maq only had to touch the last statue to break the illusion...well, break is the wrong word here, it is more of a change of scenery.

It was an icy peak over viewing a series of craggy mountains with some steadfast trees on the mountain side. Illusion or not, this place looked like one of those dryad scared mountains, no one is allowed but nature.

"Melchiades?" Your persona assumed a defensive stance upon spotting a strange figure....a shadow with a lantern and a staff with a disembodied hand and a featureless face with an orb of light right at the center. It didn't have a body per se. Silver wrappings made up his the rest of his body.

"Relax, child. I mean you no harm."

>No harm my ass! We were getting barbecued by your shitty illusion!
>Maq, is this your bro?
>Who are you?

You unsummoned your persona, you don't want to start shit right at the get go. " Are you Paloa?"

"Yes, I haven't heard that name in a long time." He turned around, facing Maq "Curious, why do wear mortal flesh, Sister? "

"Eplis is dead, killed by ruin, so am I if it wasn't for him. Brother, please, we need your aid." Her tone changed completely when she talked to him.

" I have no intrest in saving anyone. You should do the same, why do you insist on serving your 'master' ? the one who violated us? tore us apart? You should seek inner peace in what little time you have left in this cycle. Ruin in Form is but a force of nature, he is neither good nor evil. Stopping him will cause great ...imbalance for momentarily gain. You endeavor is useless. "

>The hell man? Your sis just died and you are talking shit about 'imbalance'???
>You WILL help us, whether you liked it or not.
>I didn't sweat my ass off so you would be all philosophical on me and shit.

"Is that so?" He asked, a bit skeptical.

"Yeah, This is personal. The killer must pay."

"I see no good coming out of it but...fine." Wow, well that was easy " But first, would you please indulge me for a moment?"

"Uh, sure?"

"I want you to form a bond with me, A celestial bond. You will be equally rewarded for it."

>But...my Empyreal eye doesn't sense anything from your end.
>No thanks bro

"Your true powers haven't been fully developed. Rest assured, my fate is intertwined with yours." True, true. That makes sense, If he is Mouten's brother then there is no harm with forming a bond with him.

"What is this reward?" you were curious.

"A Makka. Isn't that what you want?"

"How did you-"

"Sister, please do not underestimate my powers. If I could reshape these lands with my thoughts alone, tracking your progress is hardly a feat. Before I was another slave by the velvet man, I too was a mindless beast. This Makka is one of my many bloody trophies...it should help you to revive your master's vestige."

He could see your troubled expression " Worry not, I shall help you regardless of accepting my offer or not."

"A very wise choice." The silver shadow tapped once on the ground with his staff revealing a familiar bench.

After resting on the bench for a bit, you felt reinvigorated albeit thirsty from all that walking. You asked the silver shadow about his other services he is providing.

"For a modest fee, I can explore areas in the Moonlands that might pique your intrest. Another friendly shadow? A fearsome one instead? or perhaps some valuables? The Moonlands are rich with all."

"Why do I have to pay pons?" you barely had any in the first place.

"I demand Makka for sustenance. Your mortal currency does not amuse me."

「 Makka」

-Makka is the essence of shadows found throughout the Moonworld.
-It has various uses but it is mainly used as a currency
____________________

"Waaaiiit a minutes, How come the three shadows we killed didn't drop the Makka thing?" you pointed your finger of suspicion at Maq.

"You couldn't see or harvest them...and I might have slurped them. What? A shadow has to eat!" She went on the defensive.

"I believe you wanted me to locate a certain labyrinth?" Paloa went back to the main subject.

"Yup, where is it?" You were eager to find out.

"That, I do not know. Not yet."

"You are messing with me, right?" you can't believe this guy.

The Silver Shadow proceeded to swing his lantern left and right " I will need a name of its owner to locate it immediately, If that is not possible, I would require more information about the owner. If all fails, you could feed me more Makka to ease my search."

What do you know about the killer? the more you know, the less Makka it would cost to reveal the rest.

>...
>>
>>4276451
*a minute
>>
>>4276528
Well we know that this labyrinth is the labyrinth of lust at the very least so the person must be very horny, also we know they have a thing for killing and dismembering their victim who so far all happen to be of school age.

>>4276673
What he said
>>
>>4276528
This >>4276673
Also keep in mind that Maq was put into a dumpster conveniently nearby, and Johann didn't see much evidence in the alleyway, or at least wasn't looking for it in the tense moments after escaping Ruin in Form. Perhaps the perpetrator is an opportunist killer, in addition to the rest of his M.O.? Perhaps he intentionally targets those in lackluster or worse-off places of living?
>An elven student, 15, was found...oh moon, decapitated and gutted in Gabiel district.
Is the Gabiel district one of those? Or is it actually well-off? This could help narrow it down. Elves are usually rich and the "master race" though? Maybe that girl in question lived there in that area due to lack of money, or other uncertain conditions?
>An elven student
>Maq is human
Seems the perp doesn't care what race it might be either. This gives us more insight into the filthy degenerate too.

"hmmm, I would still need 843 More Makka to uncover its true location."

"What?! Come on man, Just let us in this time. Lives are at stake here!"

" He can't." Maq replied instead "We'll need more information from your world to lower the Makka cost.... or his name."

"Consuming the special Makka is an option but I recommend against doing so. They are special for a reason." The silver shadow added.

"Shit." You muttered "And I was hoping I would kicked some ass."

VELVET ???

You returned back to the unlit tomb of Maq's master to reawaken the rabbit doll from its slumber.

"Anything I should be wary of?"

"I don't think so. White might be...a little eccentric."

"Oookay, here we go..."

-Thorned Makka

This spiteful orb was fully absorbed by the husk. In a flash, a powerful force was knocked both of you away as the piles of junk formed an impermeable whirlwind . A single burning eye glowed brightly in the midst of this chaos.

"I AM ALLLLLLLLLLLIVEEEEEEEE!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" Everything went back to normal, the two of you avoided this rain of junk as White kept hopping all over the place with an unsettling grin from ear to ear. Blue lights from above started to dispel the darkness revealing....some kind of a workshop?

"HI, I am WHITE! " The doll dropped head first next to you "WHO are YOU?"

The rabbit doll yawned loudly " Look at this MESS. I should start to clean up reaaaal soon. Master wouldn't, MASTER WOULDN'T, MASTER WOULDN'T-"

He kept repeating these words as he appeared to physically in pain trying not to smile. He failed miserably at that " I am OKAY. WHITE is always OKAY, Ready to help. I need MUSIC. HHHNNNNNNNG HNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG."

Somehow, White has spawned several shadowy doppelgangers of him, each tiny spawn has made a makeshift musical instrument from the sea of junk forming a musical band for their master's pleasure.

TUTORIAL No.34

「 FUSING PERSONAS」

-The Velvet's workshop grinder can fuse two personas into a more powerful one.
-It will work ONLY if the two personas belong to DIFFERENT moons. Two personas of the same moon can't be fused.
-The grinder can't fuse any moonless shadow.
-You can purchase already registered personas from white for fusing.

"HI, I am WHITE, Who are YOU?" This question wasn't for you.

"Maq-I mean, Mouten. Don't you recognize me?"

"NO, I See only a weak human tr-"

"YOU LITTLE!" Here comes the slap. White was blasted away from its sheer force. His little replicas formed an inflatable rescue mat for him to land on.

"MOUTEN! I MISSED YOU! Where is EPLIS?"

"..." Both of you remained silent.

"Is SHE dead? OKAY." The rabbit kept smiling. " I help you EXTRA hard. What do YOU need?"

"I can NOT. I think?" One of his little spawns scratched white's head. "I can recycle her or turn her in a cool PERSONA. You like PERSONA, no?"

So there is no way to truly save her. Still, you won't lose hope "Okay, You said that you need 2 personas in order to use the Grinder. How do we get more personas?"

"TALK to them, SILLY!" White hopped on your back " You are born under 12 moons, shadow got the HOTS for you. Remind them that THEY ARE A PART OF YOUUUU."

That didn't make any sense but it never hurts to try to talk to these bloodthirsty shadows.

What is it with that chill all of the sudden? You toes were about to fall off. That is what you get from living in the wrong side of the world. Winter in February...pffft. You *really* ought to get new winter clothes. Juilan comes to mind...but you might get some in a flea market in the dreadful Sanda

Shiiit, you have to return that book by tomorrow ,2/13, unless you want that pixie librarian hounding your ass. Now where could your future sanctuary be?

After having a goop of a breakfast, you were ready to hop on a bus to the academy. There were two on your way: the first one was empty while the other one was sardine mode.

Bogza rode the deenz bus, he looked very gloomy. Is this about that hobo from yesterday?

You caught in bus just in time, almost slipped there for a second but It was worth it . Everyone was talking about that Judge Vanasgreth who is still butt-blasted about Cidgeth.

" Hey Bogza, what's up?"

"Hey, about that ponz you be borrowed for da bus, can I have it back?"

"Why?"

"Ponza is real tight on me end."

You got 73 pons

"Yah, Yah. Itsa cool, Jonz."

Elven History
_____________

No pixie student, as usual. Her desk was however squeaky clean. There is no way they didn't try to doodle on it...is this some sort of janitorial magic? Grubb, He didn't deserve this. You didn't see him so far in the academ-

"Aaaaaah, There you are! " And you thought Gwinyr would leave you alone, The elf was awfully cheerful " The orc head basher, BOOM! Oh great hero, Shall you speak of your wondrous tales? This will only a take a minute."

You heard that exact same sentence somewhere from an equally sleazy mouth.

"Herooo, Helloooo? My next article needs you." She bopped her pen on your head. Unbeknownst to her, your rage was bubbling up past its threshold. You were about to do something really bad.

>[Repress your anger] [Strength 2]
>[Slap her FOUR times more powerful than Maq's]
>You STUPID BITCH, You STUPID FUCKING BITCH

"W-woah what?" She dropped her yellow tinted as you slapped your desk before standing up, eyes burning with pure rage.

"You just loooove to ruin lives, Don't you? GRUBB.DID.NOTHING.WRONG!" You fired up body was on auto-pilot when you took several menacing steps towards her.

Little Miss Journo kept backing up with fear drawn on her face "B-but He murde-"

"SHUT UP!" You roared, cornering her on the far side of the class "Grubb is an honest hard working man. Why don't you look at the LIVES he saved during your research? but NOOOOOO article comes first, success comes first, FUCK EVERYTHING!"

At this point, All the elven students were rushing towards you, ready to beat the shit out of you. One actually was about to smack you from behind when someone blocked it for you.

Bogza.

"Chill Jonz, Chill. Outta ouwah WAY!" The orc shoved the elven student away " You Elz likea gang up on us , well I ain't givin ya de chance!"

It was 2 versus 10 at the very least. Your mind was still clouded by all the pent up anger coursing through your vein.

>BRING IT

You let her go; you don't want her to get physically involved in this. And thus began the beatdown but not without you landing a quick sucker punch making it 2 versus 9.

Bogza, like most orcs, had very high pain tolerance. He tanked many hits before showing any signs of weakness. You , on the other hand, went down pretty quickly after a flurry of punches and kicks.

"STOP kicking them!" You heard the voice of a girl in the middle of all the kicks.

~...!~

"Oh Jeez, not in my first class...." You were saved by your elven history teacher who arrived very late for her class, She broke up the fight while slurping from a huge thermal mug. So that is the teacher Mr. Kaff was talking about.

She looked like she is straight out of bed wearing a wardrobe and a half, no make up or anything . You take that back , she did had a hair bun but it was messy as hell, almost a last minute decision before leaving home. Silver hair and dark skin in a pretty uncommon combination for a human, add to that fiery red eyes that are exhausted to hell and back ...yeah, that is pretty rare.

She covered her mouth while yawning " I am so not in the mood for troublemakers in my class. What is going on here?"

"Miss Rusvi, He was going to *rape* her with his p-orc friend. We had to defend her honor." The guy who you sucker punched spat right back at you.

Your human teacher gulped more coffee, clearly not buying his story. " Is that true...what is your name?"

" It is Gwinyr and No, Johann shouted at me, calling me names. That's it" Some fucking truth, finally.

"Look, I'll cut you some slack since I am running out of coffee. Everyone involved: You write a 20 page extensive essay with your partner on Early Human-Elven interaction in the Pre-Gathonisic era as a punishment or you can make your and my life harder by choosing afterschool detention."

"Detention!" Bogza went for the 'easier' option right away.

>Detention!

>>4280288
>>4280295

After some convincing, You both agreed to stick with the essay instead. All the elves chose detention for some reason. Maybe out of spite? You don't know. She gave you a single week to write this essay, this should be enough.

Miss Rusvi spent the rest of the class introducing the subject at hand. It was kind of ironic to have a human teacher for elven history but whatever. Aw man, this essay will be a pain in the ass; you don't have the best partner out there.

Map is cool too, you wonder what is it for though. You started to read the third chapter of the book.

The third Traitor was Lelishriel. 'The Charred Harlot 'The betrayer of Kin' 'The Fallen Priestess' they called it.

Considered by many as the true first traitor, her tale had a healthy mix of truth and myth with no accurate accounts on what really happened. During the pre-monarchical days of Cairth, the elven tribes was ruled by their religious figures. Priestesses of the moon, Moon-weds who could read the fate of many with their connection to the Satha moon.

She was the first of very few elven clans who wasn't hostile to arrival of human wanderers who survived the catastrophic destruction their sunken isles in the far north. In fact, She sheltered many humans in within her lands proclaiming that the Moon Satha gave her a holy order to protect the humans. That didn't go well with the other clans who had suffered from constant orc raids while Cairth itself was unscathed from the patchskin.

Her final mistake was to bed with a human she adored declaring that both elves and humans should live in harmony. All Moon-Weds were virgins, they belonged to Satha only. She was branded a traitor by both her clansmen and other tribes. Her lover as well as all of the human refuges were slaughtered, their corpses were used as kindling for the grand stake specifically built for the moon priestess.

Legend tells that as she burned instead of screaming in pain her voice sang out a serene melody until she no longer drew breath. The souls of other humans were her risen from the death a spirits of vengeance leveling Cairth to the ground. Others say that Satha wouldn't let its bride die so easily, It gifted her the power to manipulate fire to hurl it back at these blasphemers.

Cairth was indeed destroyed in a great fire after her death . The most plausible cause here was that the fire went out of control. Some Luno-astrologists suggested a rare flammable Moondust from Satha which destroyed Cairth instead. Regardless, Her legacy lives on today in the form of scandalous poems of forbidden lust and rebellion against the elven norm by the now-extinct Ryukaa Elves and their outlandish poem school. Almost all of their horrible secrets are buried in secrets archives away from public eyes.

That was a wild ride and a half, she is technically the first human sympathizer. Shame about how she died like that. Your hatred of elves continues to grow.

The fourth and last traitor of Cairth is AllMother Yousren. ' The radioactive terror' 'the Wicked Landstar' ' The Judge Slayer'

The Green Sea was avoided like the plague
since the early history of Cairth. This strange sea north of Cairth's coast was the final destination of many prisoners sentenced to death throughout the centuries. Recent advancements in science and technology has revealed that the Green Sea is highly radioactive thanks to a hidden island filled to with precious Farium, Dosorium, Vanisium and other rare radioactive material. Not only that but apparently a single Allmother dryad was worshiped by several mutated plants and animals all this time.

This great mystery remains unanswered. How did this happen? How did this Allmother survive in this irradiated island? Nevertheless, the city state was interested in mining these valuable resources.

The first contact was incredibly hard to achieve, The radiation was strangely contained if not controlled by the dryad herself. Any machine would drop dead within range as well. It was only through excruciating effort did the council managed to convince Allmother Vakahihan to 'visit' the island.

It took 20 weeks for Allmother Vakahihan to deroot from her ancient grove (She only did it thrice in her lifetime. Most Allmothers can't move in the first place.) despite a LOT of dryad protests which had put more pressure on the council and Cairth. Another 38 Weeks for Vakahihan to actually reach the island with the first and most beloved Judge: Judge Zefariseth.

The radiation did in fact cease upon their arrival. The two Allmothers had a lengthy conversations spanning several days in fact. It is not known what the judge had said to provoke her but the Allmother killed him instantly releasing a blast wave of radiation that haunted Cairth for nearly 5 decades with hundreds of deaths and mutations.

Strangely enough, The radiation didn't damage any dryad in any shape or form. The council, wouldn't dare to retaliate; Her death would turn every single dryad against them. Instead, they opted for the construction of a giant dome of lead around the entirety of the green sea.

In the recent years, Cairth had finally allowed dryad pilgrims to visit Yousren turning this prison into a tourist religious site.

Since you are so loaded with cash, why don't you give some back to Miss Yuni? The donation box isn't really flowing with pons. Alternatively, you could save it for your potential sanctuary which you still haven't made any progress about it so far.

There is also the matter of the killer, Who could help you with that? you need a lot of info on that on.

-Outside: The orc hobo is annoying every single student coming back to the dorm

You sneaked by to Maq's pod so you won't awake the girls still sleeping, hers was open. Could she be downstairs in the lounge?

You went to the lounge where you found Maq watching TV all night long by the looks of her eyes. She kept yawning while hugging her pillow "MAQ! MAQ! MAQ!"

"Aaaaah! What??" She almost fell from the couch.

You were louder than the hobo. Uh-oh, that glare in her eyes...

"W-wait! Don't slap me, I got it. Our sanctuary will be a storage unit. No one will bother us there."

"I am listening..." Maq lowered her assault slap weapon.

"There is a bit of a problem. Our Sanctuary costs money and what I have isn't enough. How much do you have?" You explained the concept of pons to her before so that shouldn't be too hard.

" The strange paper with faces of pointy people? I-she had them a leather holder. The numbers say stacks of five."

>Sweet! Give them to me, I'll buy us a sanctuary after school. [promise to repay/split with her y/n?]

>>4282309
>I want SOME of them. Renting is better [promise to repay/split with her y/n?]
We're still poor and can't afford to invest in an owned unit I think. We still have a bunch of shit we need money for, especially the 800 for dorm rent.

Of course we promise to repay afterwards.
>>
>>4282332
Sure renting is better in a short while but buying it would save us from paying another hefty sum each month.
>>
>>4282345
You may be right, since we don't know the prices or rates or anything. I'm just thinking that buying versus renting is the sort of thing that can take a good while to pay off (over a year at least). I'm presuming units aren't cheap enough to be able to pay off with cash all at once, so we'd have to take out a loan (with shit rates by our SCC) and make monthly payments anyway. I'm also presuming that money today is worth way more than money in the future, since our ability to make pons via Moonworld will get much better. Again, it all depends on the specific numbers and how things work in this setting.
>>
>>4282366
Yeah you are right about that. I presumed we could sell the thing off without paying for it in full and get the rest of the cash we need. Let's just get the money from her and we'll figure things out when we see just how much these things cost.

+Sanctuary pons?

"Here. My food supplies are running in this ice box you call fridge but the sanctuary is more important." Oh yeah, Maq didn't go anywhere outside. Going with her somewhere should be part of the rehab process.

" I'll call you when...shit." She doesn't know how to use her phone, this also should be on your rehab list "Stay tight, I'll handle this."

" If an elf wants to kill this judge. He *will* do it." The conversation went south really fast after that in the bus with the elf kept yapping about the revolution and how the elves are capable of colonizing the moons and other crazy shit. You did learn something about the revolution; the death of the last low king of Cairth.

New Location Discovered

「The Needle Pit of Gabiel 」FREE ADMISSION

Also known as the pit of tears, The revolutionaries would drop a single needle in that pit for every act of injustice and for every soul taken by the loyalists. When Cairth was liberated from its monarchic tyranny, the revolutionaries throw the low king (who was exceptionally obese) in the pit where he died a slow , painful death by thousands of needles. His remains are still found down below.

While your point still stands, you should apologize to her. It is the right thing to do, whether you like it or not.

The whole class was horrified by the maniac with a large stick stomping his way inside. A middle aged square-faced elf with a rather short stature and a burning temper. He wore a really old fashioned checkered suit in this cold weather without giving a damn.

<My name is Mr Gonalith and I am your new teacher from hell.> He slammed the desk with stick <I don't care if you are an elf, a human, an orc or even a monkey. I will VLAM you all until you learn elven proper. Do you understand? >

The class nodded, unsure what to say to this mad man <My rules are simple: Any single mistake will make me VLAM the whole class UNLESS someone decides to be the Vlamenteer of the class, Only he or she will suffer from the ignorance of others. Any Vlamenteers?>

" It's fine, You were right. Making that head line was all I cared for." She finished the last of her white chocolate.

"Really?" You raised your eyebrows; you thought she would get all uppity on you.

" What I did was unethical." She took a deep breath " You were my wake up call, I guess."

"You throw Grubb under the bus." You reminded her.

" I know, I want to make it up for him but the damage is already done. The principal will have both students and teachers vote on whether Grubb should remain in the academy or not next week. They'll fire him after my article..."

AFTER SCHOOL

You went straight to M.A.S.S.U. , One of the few successful orc companies throughout the city states. This one specializes in portable mass storage units AND shipping containers. Their shipping branch is by the sea obviously. white the area itself was smaller than the neighboring Ella's mega-market, it felt like a vertical maze of steel frameworks clustering all of the units together.

Their main office was in a massive shipping container decked out with four air conditioners. It was a weird choice but it didn't matter.

"Whattya want?" a buff orc was standing by the container's door. His skin was hot red with plenty of scars.

"I want to buy...or rent a storage unit." You really don't know their prices.

"Wait a five." And so you waited, until someone opened the large door from inside.

Miss Stag.

Well, She had a centaur with a very sharp bladed tail in full display without its usual covering imposed by the police. The dryad looked *very* pissed off so much so that her facial skin could crack at any moment. For a second, she laid her eyes on you but she darted it away the next moment as if she doesn't recognize you.

Well, If she ignored you on purpose, you should do the same. Did you just entered a shipping container or a small villa? The place was absolutely lavish from inside. You got huge flat screens, ACs (which are turned off due to the weather) and three heater plus a lot of decorations and mementos from all over the world.

Right in the very center was a massive office for an equally hulk of an orc. He wasn't fat at all, in fact, you could see his muscles bulging from his custom-tailored red suit and the set of boxing trophies he had behind him. His skin was almost chrome with a small hint of blue. Despite all of this, the giant was dwarfed by all the pillars of paperwork spilling over the floor.

"Ah, Johann, Welcome to Maktu Agra Shipping and Storage Unit company. Why don't you take a seat?" He looked like a judge looking down up you from his elevated position. His voice was very deep, his friendly attitude felt strange for a man of his size.

This chair was very, very uncomfortable. It was like as if someone with two left hands nailed some plank left-overs together and called it a day.

" I always love to see aspiring youth come to me . You have no idea how this fills my heart with child-like joy. " He spoke more like a human rather an orc "Do you know why I like Koris, Johann?"

"The weather?" you had no clue.

"Opportunities , dear Johann. Wonderful Opportunities. You can find them a literally every single corner using this." He tapped on the side of his head " This might come rather off from someone with my physique but to hell with the standards of our elven overlords! Anyone can have both the brains and the brawns to be successful."

The orc sank in his sea of black leather whom he called a chair " Now tell me, How can I help KPD's little helper?"

>I want a storage unit.
>What were you doing with Miss Stag?
>I am not helping the police, some elven prick got me by the balls.
>Nothing, Can I go now?

" Oh, you know, Grown up things. She is a very talented and fierce woman , I like her. Her massage is to die for!" He had a hearty laugh " A man of my size can't squeeze through her small door, my back is stiff as a ...no, you are too young to know this champ."

He pulled out a large plastic bottle of water from his side drinking almost half of it in one go " You made me very curious , Johann. To what extend do you know Miss Stag?"

"She gave me a message that one time and-" Your tongue almost coiled backwards on its own.

"Aaand What? Come on, Johann. Come on, We are best buddies. Well, not yet but I have this funny feeling we will be in the future. There are no secrets between best buds, right?"

He’d probably understand whatever this is, probably wasn’t the best idea to bring up miss stag

yeah, I can't see shit. So we are stopping here for now. Thank you for playing!

We are starting a new thread next time.
POST THREAD DISCUSSION GOES HERE

This one seems to be the most innocuous, since Yuni entrusted us with the task.

What do you think of the quest so far? Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

>>4284354
huh, i didn't think of that but there is some heavy similarities between the two
ffxii best ff

>>4284638
A lot of fun. Only real complaint is consistent spelling/grammar errors.

>>4283921
>She made me deliver some spices to my guardian
>By the way, I couldn't help but notice those boxing trophies. Would you happen to know of a certain Grubb right? He's a former boxer....


>>4283951
I just wanted to know more about what was going on with her. This is a Public Storage, not a police HQ!

Yeah, I'm retarded. Whatever I vote for, it's safe to go for the opposite.
>>
>>4284764
that is a given.
I swear I only detect these errors after I post
>>
>>4285143
Is their a specific time that you update
>>
>>4285697
oh we are not starting today or tomorrow. i am just prepping for the next thread.
also no, i try to start 6 PM to 1 AM burger time but i often start a bit later.

>>4284638
So far I'm loving it although I can't come in every session since my time zone makes it impossible.
By the way aren't browsers supposed to underline misspelled words? I don't really mind them since I don't notice most of them until you point it out but I can see them being a nuisance.
