You are Johann Fol, a human student who had recently lost his foster dad and was 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. It is up to you to purge lust out of Cairth as part of your agreement with a malicious entity, Ruin in Form.

Your rescue mission was a success. Maq's sister was not only Lust's slave but also his source of power allowing him to stop time in the real world. Lust had a darker surprise waiting for you in the real world, one that might involve Maq's friend.

"How about fatso, then? because , boy, you are having some fine curves. Ummhmm~"

"I am definitely NOT... Urgh." You scowled before mooning out; She won't stop calling you stupid name. Whatever, you got more important things to worry about...

______________________

AFTERNOON
______________________

The three of you sure as hell won't step out of the sanctuary looking like that. You took turns changing back to normal behind a pile of boxes. Meanwhile, your phone was buzzing like crazy. You unlocked it only to see a whopping 41 missed call from Miss Yuni. Uh oh.

Maq was the first to rush out of the garage, already racing towards the dorm, her heart was about to burst from the mere idea of losing Elenna like that.

"MAQUINE, JOHANN. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? " Miss Yuni was a wreck, There was nothing but fear and terror inside her bloodshot eyes as your guardian was waiting for your return. She clutched to her chest in pure agony quickly popping one of her 'spices' right away. Several students outside were crying rivers of tears, all were in shock.

"Go...inside, please..." Maq had already bolted inside wasting no time to check on your guardian , it was just you and Kaz gave you a small nudge " Let's go inside, Maq needs us right now."

While he was in the right, you couldn't just leave Miss Yuni like that, You feel partially responsible for what is happening. What to do?

>Stay with Miss Yuni for the time being. She is not feeling well.
>Head inside with Kaz.

++ Sympathize [RANK UP! 3/10]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v61paNzFcgQ

Soon enough, Kaz had followed Maq's footsteps leaving you two alone. Miss Yuni didn't acknowledge your presence as if you were an intangible spectre. She kept mumbling to herself instead " Why... why am I such a failure? Why,why, why..."

"Miss Yuni..." for once, you didn't know what to say. Whatever happened while you were in the Moonworld had shaken her to the very core.

Your guardian had ran out of words, her half-parted lips were dry and frozen, her hands were shivering, the void had consumed her spitting out a husk of a woman. She could only stare blankly at the silent skies, fully unaware of the great many-eyed evil lurking above.

< There is but a speck of light shinning within her, soon to be extinguished.>

You should have gone with Kaz, seeing Miss Yuni like that is soul-crushing. She could do nothing to stop Lust... this is your job. The lingering silence was unbearable, your mind had whipped you into action: either say or do something, anything that bears semblance of comfort and consolidation. You can't allow Miss Yuni to lose part of herself today.

>Turn your back on her, Maq demands your full attention.

+++++ Sympathize

If words had failed you both, perhaps you can resort to something more intimate. You wrapped your arms around her shattered body without a single word.

Tears were gushing down her eyes. Her emotionally starved soul needed her fill of compassion and love. Your warmth had spread to her cold, bitter body, the surge of unspoken emotions could lit you both on fire.

"T-thank you..." a whisper escaped her lips " I must be strong... for you and everyone counting on me. I can't let you down."

"We are here for you, Miss Yuni." you were so engrossed with your guardian that you failed to notice the droves of students right behind you.

Bogza, Kaz, Mestaph and....

....Elenna and Maq holding hands tightly.

You let out a sigh of relief, She is alive! For a second, you thought Lust was not talking taur...but where is Veishu? He can't be the victim, right?

"I-i would like to pour everything in the donation box for Hielett's funeral...once the CPD are done with the investigation." You have heard this name before a couple of times, She is one of Elenna's friends. Though you rarely talked to her, her death had skewered your heart. Why did that piece of shit do it? Why?

None had objected to Miss Yuni's proposal. In a sense, she was part of this family. Everyone wholeheartedly agreed to this bright idea, in fact, some were already stuffing the donation box with more pons.

" Madam Yuni, Would you mind me staying here for the night? " Kaz politely asked. Huh, weird.

"Y-yes, Did you tell your parents? I wouldn't want them to get worried about you."

"I already told my father. Do you want me to call him?" Kaz pulled out his phone but Miss Yuni said it wasn't necessary. No way she would let him go out in the streets with the serial killer is still at large anyways.

It was high time for you to know what exactly happened, you and the gang glued yourself to the television waiting for a fully detailed report. The following words had changed the very course of your lives yet again...

1/2
>>
>>4707933
>>4707943

"...the school girl serial killer had spread terror in Cairth once again. Today, Three students from Garsis Academy had fallen victim to the most wanted person in the city state.

It is still unknown how did they committed this unspeakable crime in broad daylight or how did they entered the academy's practice building. The staff members are under investigation in hopes to find any proper explanation to today's carnage.

The victims, whose names will be not disclosed, were in the locker room when the serial killer had made their unprecedented move. They didn't write the next targeted district this time, instead, they wrote the following:

You can't catch me , MOONLIT HUNTERS. THIS IS ON YOU!

CPD provided no further details about the crime scene or those 'Moonlit Hunters'. The- "

"...!"

"w-What the...?"

"..."

Just like that, Cairth and everyone you knew became aware of your existence, at least in name. Maq was choking on these words while Kaz hid his emotions better. The three of you had left the lounge without a fuss, you need discuss this taur right now.

Except, no one is saying anything.

>Pretty sure we are doomed. It was nice knowing you guys...
>We are famous! Yay!
>G-guys, it is no biggie. It can't be illegal if it is otherworldly, right?
>As long as we keep our head down, we will be in the clear. No more freaky Kaz accident, sanctuary or bust.
>You just had to give our team a name, Kaz. Good job. Thanks to you, the police will be on our ass.
>[Leave the talking to bigger brains out there]
>Write in!
>>
>>4708080
>>Write in!
>It wasn't our fault. He was going to kill them either way, he just wants us to break.

At least, that's what I think. Either that or just passing the buck to Lust

" No, he changed his pattern out of spite. It saddens me to admit that we are partially responsible for their d-" A fit of cough had possessed Kaz, interrupting him mid-sentence.

"You alright, Kaz?"

"I am fine, " his pride barred him from showing
any weakness " We have but one chance tomorrow to end it once and for all. "

You nodded in agreement, Lust was left unchecked for too long. He'll pay for what he had done. Maq was on the same page too surprisingly, You thought she would stick to her non-lethal plan but she threw it out of the window.

Miss Yuni won't let anyone go outside today for obvious reasons. You will have to rely on your current healing items, alternatively, you can trade with that stone merchant; he got a lot of goodies. It is a shame that you won't get to fully explore the second floor. You will have to say bye-bye to all of that cool loot . Oh well.

Maq had spent the rest of the night with Elenna while you and Kaz stayed in the lounge following the situation in hopes for any vital updates. Sadly, all the news channels kept regurgitating the same old taur. The principal was under heavy fire from this debacle, you have zero idea how he will get out of this mess.

It was time for a well earned sleep, you were heading to your pod when Kaz asked an important question : Where should he go for a shuteye?

>I dunno, ask Miss Yuni?
>You can crash in my pod, beats sleeping on the couch, eh?
>The lounge had plenty of spots, make sure to get some blankets first, it gets pretty cold in the morning.

"Oh? That won't be necessary."

"Kaz, my man, I can't let you sleep on the couch. Nah-uh."

"Very well, thank you." Your persistence had won him over. You opened your pod before cleaning the place a bit for him. Yeah, it has been a little messy in the last few days.

"..." Kaz watched you with judgmental eyes. He kept his snarky remarks in check; the elf was too exhausted for that shit.

" Good night, Johann."

" Nighty night."

As expected, the academy was closed to further conduct the investigation. They tried to frame it on Grubb but the janitor was on the other side of the academy when it happened. Typical.

Bogza didn't like having Kaz around, you could see it in his eyes. Well, he won't stay here for long. In another timeline, you would have been elbow deep in that Gyag's chest cavity with Kaz for your biology assignment today but Lust had other plans for you . That Gyag is sure lucky; he will get to live for one more week.

You went for another Choco-bobo, each bite you took reminded you of the green ghost calling you 'fatso', you are NOT fat. She is just exaggerating, right?

Kaz, after Miss Yuni's permission, was the eye of a culinary storm, preparing a breakfast fit for high kings. You don't know what exactly he is brewing over just yet. The girls were fawning over this outta-nowhere chef, Kaz ignored them in the meanwhile focusing on his wonder-breakfast instead.

Veishu still hadn't returned to the dorm. Where is he? Most importantly, Why is Miss Yuni totally okay with this? She said she still wouldn't let anyone leave the street. The elf is already busy planning the funeral arrangement and dealing with the police at the same time. She wouldn't want anyone to stray far and wide from the dorm.

You called the masked dryad more than once but the result was still the same. Only Miss Yuni could explain what is going on with this guy.

" Veishu is helping the police with the investigation. You don't need to worry about him."

"What? Oh.." A flashback of the dryad in the courtyard struck your mind, he did remain in the academy while everyone was out " Is he a key witness? Why haven't we heard anything about it in the news?"

"Not exactly, He briefly told me about a 'painful vision' he experienced just before the murder. First Seeds like him are prophetic but their foresight are wildly unpredictable. "

A Whirlwind of questions had taken you by surprise. What sort of vision did he see exactly? did he see the true identity of Lust? The Moonlit hunters?? Oh boy.

Kaz had finished his regal breakfast in the mean time. It was an omelette of sorts with some milk and a lot of herbs. You kinda wished you didn't wolf down your usual breakfast so fast. Oh well. Everyone seem to like his dish, is there anything Kaz *can't* do?

Your fellow Moonlit hunters are ready for the final fight, you just have to give the word.

"Hey, hey Wanna hear a joke? Why can't bob form a healthy relationship? because he is afraid of...wait for it: INTIMA-SEA!! GET IT? HAHAHAHAAAAHAHA!!!"

"No one is laughing, you SUCK."

"No, YOU suck!" As the two headed liarfish started to slap itself, something dropped under your feet

You returned back to the hive ship once more, Lust tendrils had left its mark of the vessel. You doubt the ship could bombard ever again with its hull damaged like that.

" Johann, Maq..." Kaz called you over with a grim look on his face.

" What's up? "

" I think I might have terrible news." he pulled out his phone " Do you recall the mysterious picture of an elf we found in the Loveboat?"

"Yeah, what of her?"

"She is none the other than Lunaferyeth von Maladath." He showed you a picture of the same girl in some kind of a temple?

" I... uh still don't get it." You scratched your head in confusion.

"Lunaferyeth is the daughter of one the council members, furthermore, she was to succeed the current Moon priestess of the Holy Lune. A death of that caliber would explain the Lockdown we had earlier this month."

"Very intriguing but overall useless to our cause." Maq added, her eyes peeled for any potential danger.

" I disagree. The priestess-to-be is by far Lust's highest profile victim. We could put this information into good use."

"We lack any real solid evidence to present to the real world. Contacting the police is ill-advised, I would recommend seeking... hmmm."

He kept thinking about until he reached a conclusion " I am afraid I might have spoken too soon. Pardon me." Very strange of him to backpedal like this but it is understandable, you too are out of ideas...well, the good ones at least. Got plenty of bad ones in the basket.

You can trace the main problem back to a single question: How? How can a bunch of kids living in Korris possibly know about her death? Nah, It won't fly.

"What? what?" Your fellow hunters gave you *that* look "That's a good idea, yeah?"

" It'll work. You'll see." You turned your attention to the stone merchant afterwards; might as well browse his stuff.

We have the Garu, Zio and Self Destruct Shards. I vote we nom them for our Popesona to have some kind of spell variance.

Much like the stone merchant, the prices won't budge. The simple man had no mental capacity for haggling. Welp.

"Are you guys ready?"

"Yes."

"Lust shall fall."

You used the slab to gain enough favor with the gods of the sea. The very sea itself was split wide open revealing a fleshy passage to the last floor of this labyrinth. There were no powerful shadows waiting for you like last time. It was... anticlimactic to some extent. Hey, you are not complaining.

"Is that...?" The sea bed was littered with hundreds if not thousands of child-like corpses. All were equally bloated, You could hear whimpers and moans of pain from down under. Their swelled up lips were closed shut and yet the voices grew more and more...

Memories. Horrific memories of his childhood drowned in abuse, flashing images of suffering projected by these silent carcasses. Everlasting scars that had turned Lust into the monster that he is.

Despite your immense hatred to this bastard, you could relate to his pain though your abuse paled in comparison.

"Focus, Johann." Kaz's stern words had brought back to reality. "It is too late to show any sympathy to this rabid thing."

"Gotcha." you gave him a thumbs up "Hey, where did you get that guitar?"

Kaz simply shrugged, It just appeared out of nowhere. Well, It is a long way to the passage anyways. You could either stare down at Mini-Lust's corpses or you could enjoy some solemn music instead.

The Hiveship couldn't take you any further, you saluted the captain for her services. You wouldn't have made it without her. She put on a half-smiled before flying away. If only you could take the hive ship with you down below...

LABYRINTH OF LUST [Owner: ???]
FLOOR III 3/3 [ HEART ROOM ]

"Whoa..." So this is the heart room, you never thought it would be so...peaceful? No,no, a dead whale riddled with harpoons in the middle of a dried up sea isn't peaceful at all.

The maw of the dead whale is strangely inviting, the primordial shadow had to be-

"Waaaitt a sec," something just dawned on you " Are we fighting Lust as in the orc your sis mentioned or his shadow version or whatever? I am confused."

" We would have fought his primordial shadow if my sister didn't grant him such power. The real version of Lust would have been entirely clueless about its shadow, This Labyrinth is rather unique." She was doing her best to answer your question but it took her a couple of tries thanks to your thick skull.

"Aaaah, I get it now, no slaps required. I lowkey miss them."

"Do you want me to slap you?"

"T-that won't be necessary." You laughed nervously.

"Let's not waste any time." Kaz reminded you of your grim mission ahead. He took the first steps towards the dead whale.

1/2
>>
The dead whale suddenly began to twitch only to open its maw, quite a welcome. You and the gang tread carefully on its gigantic tongue, it felt like you are stepping on half-liquefied gyags with each step.

Thump
Thump
Thump

The heartbeats were almost too much for you, it reminded you of your own heart room. You were helpless back then but not anymore...

" IT'S OVER LUST! COME OUT YOU COWARD!!" You yelled at the top of your lungs.

"What are you doing??"

" Letting this asshole kn-oh shit!" The tongue had rolled backwards sending you deeper into the unknown.

_________________________

"Owww." Both Maq and Kaz landed on your ass. Just where in the moon are you now?

A tropical paradise, untouched by elves. You couldn't help but to stare at the crystal clear water. Oooh, little fishies! The skies were clear, the sun was just right. It was perfect. Too perfect.

"You just had to ruin everything, eh ?" A fat orc wearing a fishing hat and a very bright unbuttoned shirt struggled to get up from his plastic chair. He rested a long fishing rod on his right shoulder while his left hand had some kind of a wiggling bait.

I-is that Lust???

You couldn't tell where did his chin(s) started and ended. His eyes were entombed by folds of fat from all sides. How he could actually see anything was beyond you " I don't suppose you're here for fishing?"

"Are you kidding me? We're here to END you, asshole!" The way this fat and ugly orc speaks is pissing you off to no end. Two of the three orcs you have met who could speak 'normal' are bad guys to the core.

"And why would you do that? Didn't you want to '''''stop''' me? You did that by stealing my slave. Hell, I can't return to Cairth anymore. I am stuck here."

"W-what?" You blinked twice.

" Ayep. I can barely keep this place together, when I couldn't turn into a big ass harpoon of death, I came back here for some peace and quiet."

The orc gazed at the silent skies got a spell before continuing " I lived a miserable, poor life. I had so much anger and rage, it...it turned me blind. It was like I am in the backseat watching myself kill and rape. I became the very thing I feared my entire life: The big whale. "

"He is luring you into a false sense of security," Kaz brandished his weapon " Don't fall for his lies."

"Your death will be anything but swift." Maq was mere seconds away from bursting in tears. You are glad she is keeping her emotions in check. She too drew her Katana.

The orc reached for his ice cold beer , chugging half of it in record time " And what will my death achieve? Nothing. It won't bring back the dead. You kids are playing a dangerous game, I almost feel sorry for exposing you like that. Go back to school and stay off the streets... I won't harm anyone ever again. You made sure of that."

>>4717529

It was clear that your party was out for blood. Both of them were eagerly waiting for your signal. Lust had green flesh stick on a chariot guarding the first floor. Why didn't have another at the end of the previous floor? Perhaps there is a hint of truth in his words.

There is a conflict brewing inside you; the orc standing in front of you is like a whole different person. Pretty sure you and Kaz could beat his ass without any magic or personas...just plain ol' punches and kicks.

You remember that fateful day when you defined your own version of justice. By your definition, you should kill him right here and now even if he is a helpless blob of fat anxiously anticipating another heart stroke. And yet, you hesitate, something is keeping your hands away from pulling your trigger.

What should you do?

>He is all yours [ Look the other way, you can't bring yourself to do kill him.]

Why the sudden change of heart? Why call us out with the death of the schoolgirls

Before anything else, let's get some answers
>>
>>4717570
" A little payback for what you have done to me. If I can't finish you off, someone will...and it won't be a small fry like me."

"Oh yeah? Like who?"

"Beats me." He casually replied, sipping the last of his beer. Your comrades won't tolerate you stalling like that any further. You must make a choice, whatever it may be.


>He is all yours [ Look the other way, you can't bring yourself to do kill him.]
>You are wrong. My friend over there said once that the dead demand justice...he is damn right [Draw your weapon]
>You think you'll just walk away from what you have done? I have failed the girl standing in front of you once. I want you to remember her name before I am done with you. Her name is Maquine De Fauin [Draw your weapon]

>Ruin in Form did the right thing when he sent us to deal with scum like you. You are a disease upon our society, It is up to the Moonlit Hunter to purge your very existence. [Draw your weapon]
>Do you feel any guilt ? any remorse you piece of taur?
>Write in!
>>
>>4717594
>Spit on the ground
>(Draw your rapier and put the point over Lust heart)
>No matter what happened to you, you had no excuse to steal the future from those girls. But the families of the victims, Miss Yuni...they deserve closure. Give your name, adress, way to acess it and the location of any records and details that might link you with your crimes. Diaries, whatever. I don't fucking care.
>I will send them anonymously to the press so people can know the streets are safe now. It's the fucking least you can do.
>Give me enough and we...we will let you rot in here for the rest of your life. No matter how much you don't deserve it. The alive take preference over the dead.
>Otherwise...(push the point of your rapier into skin, enough to draw a bit of blood)

I feel this might be the best option. We can get inside his house, get any deatails and send them anonymously to the press so people know that the streets are safe and who and why did all this shit. I don't think Johann is ready to kiill in cold blood, especially someone who isn't defending himself and this way all the relatives and friends of the people who died can have some sort of explanation.
>>
>>4718082
Revenge for the dead is overruled for caring for those alive and all that.
>>
>>4718082

It's good enough atleast. If Maq or Kaz don't like it, let's hope we can make a good argument
>>
>>4718082
>>4718082
>>4718085

" Do you expect me to trust you? After all of what you have done me? Heh, Just look at your friends."

On your right, Kaz was fuming with anger " What in the moon are you blabbering about you ingrate? are you going to betray your very own words, Johann? This deviant has no right to live and breathe, we are beyond your insistent travesties!"

Maq had also voiced her displeasure " Ruin had but a simple task for you: Purge Lust. As much as I despise the murderer of my sister, the idea of letting him go without punishment is maddening."

~The Devil Celestial Bond is in peril!~

So much discord among your friends. You stand at a crossroad, Should you follow your instincts or your words? This might as well be the last straw between you and Kaz who was dragged into the Moonworld business because of you. He has been more than helpful this whole time, are you willing to turn your back on him especially for an irremediable old fuck like Lust? You are walking on very thin ice, it is for the best to choose your next words very carefully....


>Come on guys, we are leaving. Let him rot in his crumbling labyrinth.
>Then we will drag you to the CPD ourselves , you fat piece of shit. [Subdue Lust with Kaz]
>He is all yours [ Look the other way, you can't bring yourself to do kill him.]
>You are wrong. My friend over there said once that the dead demand justice...he is damn right [Draw your weapon]
>You think you'll just walk away from what you have done? I have failed the girl standing in front of you once. I want you to remember her name before I am done with you. Her name is Maquine De Fauin [Draw your weapon]

>>4718371
>>Then we will drag you to the CPD ourselves , you fat piece of shit. [Subdue Lust with Kaz]
>The elves will torture and kill him for what he did. He's not getting free ever again
>>
>>4718371
>>4718379

Honestly, he had the option to give us what we wanted. I'd rather kill him right here adn right here, but the families and friends need to know the killer is done with.
>>
>>4718379

Hopefully RiF will accept this instead of us just killing him I mean the elves are definitely gonna make him wish he was dead, then kill him.

>>4718611
----- Kaz
" Your Cowardice disgusts me..." his eyes were oozing with disdain "...but fine, have it you way. Should he resists, you know what I'll do."

The elf rolled his sleeve ready for a quick knockout when the orc turned his back on you with little care in his mind " Have fun with these monster, girls. I am gonna catch me a big fish."

The ground was torn asunder as several shadows blocked the way. Why do they look so...familiar?

A centaur carrying a broken mast.

A bloated orc covered in seawead.

An floating elf crucified on an anchor.

A mushy ball of elfoid corpses inside a fishnet.

The four of them look gave with murderous intent.

Okay, here is my idea for the rest of the fight. With some luck, it will net us the battle. The only objective that matters is the Right hand of Lust, since we cannot get evicted from Boss battles.

Our best bet to end the fight is to not let the big guy have another turn in the rest of the battle. My suggestion is to have Kaz heal us while we crowd control the big guy to death.

My ide is that Johann goes first round for a Rou, then Moonless signature, then another ROU and then Normal Signature then Rou then a final Normal Signature.

It should give us the battle, provided we don't fail more than a single time, since the big guy needs one turn to prepare his attack.

While SUMMARY EXECUTION looks cool, it is just +++ attack, for the cost of one Dominance, with a single dude with a single weapon type. Even taking into account charge up, there are consumables that work better than that. The value is more on the low Dominance cost than anything.

Counter howerver, seems like a great passive to have at all times.

"What...happened? Did we win?" The last thing you recall was that huge mast turning you into a pancake.

"Seems like so." Maq was still recovering from her sand nap,

"Yeah, wait, where is Kaz?" You rubbed your eyes to dispel your blurry vision only to find the last standing Hunter confronting Lust once and for all.

"Kaz, Wait..." Your heart was burning like a furance and yet your body couldn't deliver.

You were too weak reach them in time.

Just as you were this close to Kaz, He suddenly turned towards you revealing a withering husk of an orc behind him. The man who was responsible for the death and suffering of many innocent girl is now drowning in his own blood, his sliced throat will drain life out his body soon enough.

"It is done." Crimson blood trickled from the tip of his blade. Not a single grain of remorse or compassion was in his soulless, weary eyes. A hint of a satisfaction was drawn on his face, it was too weak to fully manifest thanks to the immense exhaustion weighing him down.

" The dead shall rest , justice has been served. Lust is mo more.." He took several steps towards you for one last whisper " The burden is all mine... you too can rest, my friend."

The Labyrinth was plagued with violent tremors, everything around you was getting split apart. The end drew near...

>WHY? WHY???! DIDN'T I TELL YOU NOT TO KILL HIM? WHY DIDN'T YOU LISTEN?

"I did what was right and most importantly: what was just. You are too selfish to act on your own." He was calm as ice against your volatile burst of anger.

"Selfish, the fuck you mean selfish?"

"You are too afraid to taint your morality and ideals for the sake of others. Too afraid to allow guilt to haunt you for the rest of your life. You are selfish."

You instinctively threw a punch at the red haired elf who took it like a champ, refusing dodge your fists of fury. Why did he do that? He is in clear pain after dealing with Lust's shadows.

"Stop it you two! " Maq had pulled you away from Kaz " What is done is done you bloody idiots."

Your anger was starting to simmer down when you notice a strange aura surrounding Lust's corpse...what in the moon are those hands??!

The Mysterious hands slowly dragged him into the unknown leaving you with a labyrinth on the verge of collapsing.

"We need to get outta here! Hang on, everyone!"

"There is no need for an apology. " He gave you a pat on the shoulder " We must focus on more dire issues instead...who took Lust's corpse away from us?"

"There can be only one responsible for this."

"Ruin." You answered his question "Gotta be him."

" I am getting more and more intrigued by this malicious entity. My desire to converse with him is very immense."

"Eh, He is nothing spec-whoa..." The world outside was not only frozen in time but also one of the Ruin's many eyes was emitting a blue beam of light *somewhere* in Cairth.

「 Your wish has been granted, young hunter.」Oh boy, here we go again.

「 Congratulations, you have successfully purged Lust, one of the seven sins festering this pitiful cycle. As promised, No harm shall befall on one of your acquaintance. Your actions is already starting to shape the two worlds you are bound to. 」

「 It was the will of the moons, I have little intrest in the carcass of a vile sinner..」

"Speaking of which, why are these assholes popping right now ? I bet the revolution had tons of them laying about. Is there someone or something behind their appearance?"

The myriad of eyes were mildly annoyed of your questions and yet Ruin gave you a straightforward answer

「 As the veil between the two worlds continues to grow thin, more sins will cause havoc and chaos hurling your cycle to its judgement day..」Come to think of it, Lust did gain his power because of the veil. The real question is when are they gonna appear again?

The world had returned to its normalcy soon after...actually, no. Everyone was losing their minds because of that freaking moonbeam. You could hear Lev all the way from her mini-observatory. You can't tell whether Lev is having a heart attack or screeching from joy like a kid in a toy shop. A collection of her tome-sized books had fallen from the roof landing a few feet away from the gang....why are they in several vacuum sealed bags again? Oh, right. Little Miss Perfect happens to be afraid of germs. Weirdo.

" I best be off. My time with you will upset my family, they are not used to my recent ...escapades. Try not to draw any more suspicion to our cause."

"Take care, we will be in touch." Just like that, the elf of the hour was gone leaving you with one huge list in mind. Yep, you got a chock-full of things to do. Later, you just wanna drop dead in your bed ; you are too tired to go anywhere at the moment.

-Outside: Lev is raving about something like a madwoman in her mini observatory, unaware of the fate of her books.
-Outside: Nearly everyone is staring at the moon and its projection. They know something that you don't.
-Outside: Veishu is finally home! Well kind of, why is he surrounded by men in black suits? who is he talking to inside that car?

"Hold on Maq, gonna return those books in a sec." Those babies right there are worth thousands of pons at the very least. You felt compelled to return them to their original owner despite how.... eccentric she is.

Damn, that shit is *heavy*. You struggled to grab them in one go. Part of you wanted to open the vacuum sealed bag to carry them in small batches but you didn't want her rain of fire and brimstone.

"Are you freaking kidding me?" Just how egotistical this girl is to have her OWN elevator ??? Thankfully, the building had another elevator for lowly peasants such as yourself. At least you know her apartment is in the last floor.

"Great." More absurdities blocking your way. A containment booth to get rid of those nasty,nasty germs. Your patience was running out as endured all the spraying and hissing from the machine.

The last straw was her door which looked like something out of a vault or a secret lab. There were of course three million cameras pointed at you from every single angle and a huge ass list for specific 'combinations' you should press or rather play on this pesudo-piano , an overly complicated substitute for a simple door bell.

The 'piano keys' were categorized according to your relation with Lev, whether she was expecting you or not, the purpose of your visit, day or night time and how urgent do you want to meet her.

"Ugggghhhh!" Finding the right combination is taking FOREVER. The worst thing by far is having to restart if you press the wrong key, why, WHY?

Time to get extra creative, too bad you don't know shit about playing on the piano or any musical instrument really. Your half ass-ed attempt to play one of your earliest childhood memories was more than a failure when you heard this pre recorded message " You um- you have pressed the wrong combination. Sadly I am not unavailable to fully analyze the reasons behind your failed attempt. You have one more try before I will assume you are a burglar , a rapist or a corporate spy. I will have you know that my research is well protected! A police officer will apprehend you in about a minute of or so. So um, try again! Or don't I hate visitors. They are so unpredictable, like that one time..."

And just like that, you were forced to work through this stupid taur under her white noise. Your magnum opus wasn't too too bad, you actually liked the sound of your protean piece of art.

"There, come on man, my hands are killing me." you had enough for a single day, just a few more second and you'll-

"Oh, hi um hello!"

"Leviarine?" She looked like she is fresh out of the Love boat; messy hair, rosy cheeks, flustered face, soaking wet... PJs?

It was one of those slightly oversized Pajamas (for Lev anyways) with animal hoodie. What in the moon is that animal anyways? purple eyes, golden tiara droopy eyes, greyish skin, two really long whiskers... is that tail really necessary ?

"J..Jatham? Jonson?" The elf's mind was scattered all over the place.

"Johann 'Long Duck' Fol."

"Riiight, correct, yes. Lost and L-I mean Found and Los-" She took a deep breath to regain her focus "Lost and Found. What did I lose this time?"

"Bunch of Books, They dropped from the roof, I think."

"Ooooh, right, right. ' Behind the convergence : Sibyls , Birthrights and revelations'. It is a signed collection by the one and only : Jindoc Mozd. It's about...never mind." the light in her face was gone right away. Her Enthusiasm for Luno-Astrology is too much for everyone.

On paper, what you were doing was super bad for you; a human dragging an unconscious elf away from the security cameras but you didn't think it through as always.

Lev was surprisingly light but not enough for you to carry her, you need more upper body strength for that. Once she was in a more secure position, you quickly combed through her hair looking for any trickle of blood or any dangerous bump. Nothing.

Your heart was thumping in your ears the whole time; her golden hair was pure silk in disguise with a very pleasant smell to it. You were having mixed feelings about this: are you doing the right or the wrong thing ? It feels so wrong like an orc slave having his way with his elven master's daughter. Johann, you are over-exaggerating things, your time in Lust's Labyrinth had distorted your mind a little.... not everything has to be oversexua-

"Wha..?" You literally jumped away the moment she was awake. The elf was still dizzy, still unsure about what had just happened.

"P-please don't press the panic button, you literally flopped on the floor after mentioning the Vee-Virth, gah! Some big word. I swear I only checked your head for any trauma, that's it!"

"..!" Lev inspected her hair for a couple of seconds , her current drowsiness had morphed into a mixture of fear and disgust.

"I know it looks bad but I had to make sure tha-"

"No,nonnoonoonooooNOONOOONOONONNOOOOOO!!!!!!" She did indeed begin to hyperventilate and panic , tears carving rivers on her rosy cheeks. Her frantic hands was scrambling for anything to cover herself with as if she was naked or something.

Lev just kept on panicking and crying for a good spell until her tears ran out, she hid her face behind the long ass whiskers of her PJ.

"Y...you are going to do it. You will spread the word..." Finally, some coherent sentence.

"Wait, what?" Your were clueless " What are you trying to say?"

"Don't play stupid," She continued to sniffle, refusing to look at you in the eye "You will humiliate me and there is nothing I can do about it, legally speaking."

"I still don't get it..."

" My specifically tailored Ose-Osu comf-wear. An elf IZ rating of 184 wearing something from her favorite kids show like a... a damn immature child! The girls at the academy, the press, everyone who wants to talk ill of me. They will have what they want because I was so , so *dense* . I was so excited for the Veirthasamath that I forgot to change my clothes. "

"..." You were too shocked to reply. Just a few seconds ago, you thought you were done for. This is a whole different outcome you could never predict.

"Go on, laugh at me. Laugh at the 3rd smartest elf in Cairth. Get it out of your system. I am used to it by now...."

Lev continued to weep, more tears soaking her whiskers as she was accepting her fate. Damn, that girl is wreck for literally nothing. You were starting to feel bad for her already.

>Honestly, this is a very stupid thing to cry over. I thought you were gonna accuse me of rape or something.

+++++ Sympathize

"R-really?" a glimmer of hope was shinning in her eyes.

"Yep. There are plenty of assholes in the world, not me though. "

"I am sorry but are you sure your show of sympathy doesn't have an ulterior motive? "

"Nope. Obviously, I don't know anything about you but I feel like you are having it rough...it is not easy being you, I reckon."

The elf finally stood up, wiping off her tears " Thank you, I wish I could repay you for your kindnes-oh, I know! Elves are the best candidates to tutor Humans after other humans by 16%. We could study any subject you are struggling with tonight, I can postpone my Lunar research for the moment.... or do you wish for another form of compensation? The academy will have more homework for us during the festivities."

"Aww man, really?" Part of you wanted to tell her to talk normal but elves can't help it; they must talk all fancy-wancy. You are indeed falling behind in your studies. Then again, you could ask for pons or show her the huge book you found in the moonworld.... is this a good idea?

+++++ Study [Rank up!]

The golden haired elf had led you to one of her study rooms, this one was for her academic studies only. It was painfully sterile in both figurative and literal sense with soundproof walls , two chairs and a single table. That's it.

"I have already finished our simple curriculum twice, I suggest going for this chapter."

"Whoa there, are we jumping chapters?" You didn't like this.

"Yes, the order of these chapters is plain wrong, study this one and the next one will be much easier to digest."

"If you say so." She knows what she is doing unlike you.

This chapter was focusing on the impact of Moon worship on elven civilizations. One of its topics were about The mysterious Moon Priestesses.

Very little is known about them in the first place. They are Moon-weds, virgins who could somehow communicate with Satha. Each Moon priestess from different city-states had their own unique way of communications which is kept in secret. Technically speaking, any virgin of any race could be a Moon-wed (not to Satha but to their respective moon) but the special glands of the elves play a significant role in interpreting the 'words' of Satha. It is however unknown whether the other moons are capable of speech or not. Non-elven races had different religions which had led them astray from Moon worship dulling their senses in the process for the most part. Perhaps the other moons are indeed talking but no one is able to understand them.

The words of Satha are not prophetic like the visions experienced by the dryadic first seeds. It is more of a set of commands and laws for elvenkind which had eventually led to elven supremacy throughout history. However, Many members of the Holy Lune claims that Satha is simply a natural force with no allegiance. There has been several instances where catastrophic moondust from Satha had almost wiped out Cairth. A benevolent entity wouldn't have done so to his most devouted followers. The succession process is long and tedious taking decades and even centuries if Satha didn't utter the name of the chosen one.

Lev was on a whole new level compared to your teacher. She could easily ditch the whole research thing for a badass teacher. you doubt you will ever forgot what she had taught you.

"Something wrong?" your face became pale the moment you recalled the brutal death of the would-be Moon priestess.

>Nothing, please continue

The other question in the above post too
>>
>>4730963

"No, it has been always elves."

"Aww.." Even if there was some non-elven candidates, the holy lune would have probably snuffed them out in a flash.

You had to more spicy questions, thankfully, Lev was an expert on the subject "The candidates are chosen according to : One, their ability to ingest various types of Moondust which is highly lethal to everyone even to elves with 'normal' glands...if they survived, they will be known as Mekelenyl or Sibyl assuming a smaller role in our temples."

" So they are basically snorting moon drugs?"

"NO!"

"Just kidding, please continue." Shouldn't have pulled her tail like that.

"Two, the wedding ceremony itself. Have you visited our Grave of sibyls?"

"What's that?" you raised any eyebrow,

"It is a series of underground caves where the wedding ceremony would commence. Each city state have their own version of it. All the sibyls willing to become the next moon priestess are plunged into utter darkness with nothing but their bare flesh for three days before the next convergence."

"And then what?" She got you hooked.

"They are to survive until Satha reappears once more without food or water, their faith is their only sustenance. the ordeal could last from 1 to 6 weeks. There must be only a single surviving sibyl ... it is not uncommon for several sibyls to survive the same process. When it happens, the wedding ceremony must be repeated again and again. Many simply abandon their dreams after wasting years of their lives in the darkest corners of Cairth" It was strange not to see any of this written in your textbook. You doubt this is common knowledge in the first place.

"Ahhh, so that's why it can take literal decade. I bet they just save time and do the wedding thing while the current priestess is alive, right?"

"Correct." She nodded "The only exception to this rule is the holy Sibyl-light. It is a glorious sight to see like Lady Lunaferyeth. Any ingested Moondust will give her a divine glow, a majestic otherworldly aura sealing the deal. No Wedding ceremony is needed."

"Y-yeah, C-cool." You laughed nervously.

"As for your last question: The custodians ensure that the moon priestess are on the right path. Only they have the authority to kill the Moon priestess. They are born and raised in our temples, never allowed to leave. They are incorruptible and answer to no one, not even the high king himself back when."

"I think I *might* have heard about those guys. Is it true that are the last surviving members of an extinct race?"

Lev shrugged " No one knows, their last sighting was 1032 years ago. They have been described as 'mind reading winged elves with four eyes'. Bunch of nonsense. "

"Sleep...." You finished the chapter right before midnight. She was willing to go for another chapter but you were done for today. It was amazing to see her as energetic as she was a few hours ago. No food or drinks though.

"Night Lev, thanks for your help."

" Night you too-erm, goodnight."

You didn't bother with a proper dinner. It is bed time for you. The great burden of Lust was replaced with another, that weight of his death is already weighing you down. Damn it , Kaz, why did you have to do it?

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"Shit." This wasn't your average dream you were experiencing right now. Shapeless Baroness? Shapeless Baroness! Finally, you can utter her stupid ass name. Why now?

The same endless void from before had consumed the previous dreamscape, everything was painfully white until the rotten corruption of the one and only began to fester unhindered . Soon enough, you were surrounded by a fleshly hellscape with too many oozing appendages and gaping orifices ready to swallow you whole.

"There you are, my sweet fleshly window. Oh, how do I missed your cute, innocent face."

"W-what do you want?" You were on the defensive. She can't kill you, You are her window. Yes, She can't. You kept reminding yourself.

" Oooh, have you forgotten already? I told you I would improvise. See, my window has a little bit of a crack in it. This only happen when it grows in power . In three...two... one..."

" Do you think you are in control, my sweet window? This is just the beginning, The little crack will spread and grow each time you gain more power. It will be subtle at first, you won't feel a thing. Then, I will devour you..."

"...piece by piece."
You could smell her putrid breath as she was a hair's length away from you, her eyes glittering with child-like joy.

" You can't scream for help, no one can hear you, I have made sure of that. We could continue this charade for as long as you like... or you could surrender to me. I told you I only desire vengeance upon the betrayer. Your cycle will be spared and you can be its god, I don't care what you will do wit it. It is a win-win situation for both of us. "

Here you are, standing between an eternal conflict between Ruin in Form and HER, the core of the goddess of chaos who absorbed guys and girls like you in a fusion of body and soul called 'Marriage.' Without any external help, you don't stand any chance against such a malicious entity. Should you really abandon Ruin for her sake? She might be weak as of right now but that will change with more purged sins.

The so called 'crack' in the window was no more, your dream had returned to its rightful owner away from her shackles. Time to think of something nice... or someone...

" Wow, those Moon Hunter guys are cool!"

"It is Moonlit Hunter, you big dumb dumb...and no, they are not. Vigilantes have no place in our society."

"Are you freaking kidding me? The MOON itself had revealed the corpse of the serial killer. The MOON!"

"Meh, whatever, I am just glad it is over. We can't have another sub dark nomad roaming in the street..."

It is official, nearly everyone is talking about how awesome your group is , the Moonlit hunter, as a divine instrument of justice. The CPD are in complete disarray after the big reveal. Apparently, Lust was a fisherman orc (no surprise here) living in his boathouse in Miden. The police had found several 'trophies' stashed in freezer. Maybe getting absorbed by the HNNNNG, the HHNNNNNNNNNNNGGG. Right, it is still there.

However, there were others who were skeptical about the whole thing. You heard some wild conspiracies : from royalists to other city-states responsible for the moon beam. The most wacky one by far was Judge Cidgeth , the guy is good and all but he had no part in your Moonlit hunter business.

You left all of this gossip and went to the kitchen for another fatty dose of Choco-Bobo. Mmmm, yes, more unhealthy food. It does taste so good though...

Miss Yuni had already left to oversee the whole funeral process. There was a small note by the fridge for anyone who wanted to attend the funeral. It would be held at Silverheart cemetery shrine. One quick internet search later, you found its location. The Silverheart cemetery was the best thing miss Yuni could afford; the other alternative is the pesudo-mass graves for the poor and the homeless in Sanada.

The whole trip to the outskirts will cost you 80 pons and several hours sadly . some of your teachers will be attending it as well. Alternatively, you could be an ass and skip the whole thing. You got rid of Lust, that is all that matters.

Neither Maq nor Elenna were to be found in the dorm, just where are those two?

Your mind began to wander far away as you gazed through the bus' window. Why is the world so bleak? The snow was almost grey in your eyes , It was too depressing... could you have stopped Lust in time? Are you responsible for the deaths of many? So many questions began to haunt your soul.

"What the...?" You felt like your very essence is sinking deeper into your body as the world was melting away in goopy mess.

< Your Empyreal eye has found a memory from beyond >

Blurry faces, Blurry fates. Pain, so much pain. Helplessness overwhelms the night? A Black tomb in motion, surrounded by unwanted flesh and lead.

A poor sapling, tangled in the infinite web of the cosmos, now facing a perilous choice. Betrayal or Silence? He can not attain such duality.

Yet, He does not walk it alone. Gold in soul, Gold in heart. Steadfast, Braveheart, Just. Half and Half also thrown into a conflict of a smaller scale but equally important. Guidance, Love, A mother's will. Half and Half will stand tall.

The Light piercing the silent night had brought a revelation upon the coward, the feeble. He is but a single man, how could he challenge the traditions of old? His fate remains murky even under golden wings.

Could the marble throne be toppled? Shattered by a laurel of white lilies? Or perhaps a hunter will be reborn from his ashen body... Celestials be damned.

Regardless. He will need resolve to endue the upcoming trials and tribulations...

Your resolve.

Dunna about the other man. Lust doesn't fit. But Cidgeth is a half elf (half and half) and the mask of the judges is gilded in gold. Also, the thing about using lilies to topple the marble throne fits the pacifist character of the Judge.

Is Celestials another name for the moons, snail? No idea about the "hunter reborn from his ashen body"

It is nearly impossible to fully interpret this strange memory. Practice makes perfect, right? Maybe with more memories experienced, you will get the hang of it eventually.

The urban jungle of Cairth was gone, replaced with open fields painted with white. Moons above, things are getting depressing out here fast.

You could almost spot the shrine in the horizon, it was somewhat similar to the one you used to go in Yerth but way smaller with zero iconography; the elves of your city state sure loved their statues and paintings. Here comes your next stop....

_________________________________

You didn't see any of your friends outside which means one of three things: You had arrived too early or too late...or they didn't arrive at all. Very worrisome. However, you did catch the glimpse of one of your teacher getting inside the shrine.

"Satha's Blessing upon you..." You were greeted by a sibyl in white at the main gate, well, if you can call it that; a shoddy chunk of metal held together by wishful thinking. Same can be said about the shrine and the poor excuse of a fence surrounding the cemetery. In fact, the whole place was falling apart with one exception: The graves themselves and the five pillars. Damn, the cemetery needs some renovations as soon as possible.

Yerth had a healthy mix of men and women in all of their temples and shrines unlike the holy Lune who relies on women only for their day-to-day religious duties. You were unsure whether to call her 'Sister' or not. You are not *that* religious so things might get a bit icky.

>Y-you too.
>Not here for Satha, Just need to pay respects to someone.

You gave her a simple nod before moving on, like all Sibyls , she was an elf and wore heavy hooded white robe for that complete pious look. They true their best to separate themselves from the modern world but not to a fanatical degree like custodians or would-be moon priestess.

You briefly cast a glance upon the five pillars afterwards, all of them were adorned with different ice-resistant flowers like the one in your academy, there was something about helping the deceased to move on...gah, you can't remember taur. Too late to ask her now.

The shrine itself was surprisingly spacious with four glass doors for each side. The Skylight was buried in snow casting an ominous shadow on the pool of Moondust-infused water the middle , the pool itself had a platform only reachable via potentially slippery stepping stones.

Perhaps the saddest thing was the current attendance of the funeral ; the shrine could easily hold 50 people or more and yet the place was half empty. Hielett was probably just like you, orphaned with no one to care for her. Is being forgotten a fate worse than death? the idea itself made you shudder.

Huh, no curved pews? Standing like that sure feels odd. Why does the floor have one, two, three, four... and five different colours? It has to do with the pillars outside. Damn it. You already know that the first three rows are for elves but which side are you going to pick? Talking inside the shrine is generally something to avoid , it is not the end of the world but it is really distasteful. Sibyls would also be furious with someone whipping out their phone even for something as innocent as an internet search.

You could always go outside to ask but you might miss the start of the ceremony; you know elves and their customs, no short version. That's what you get for skipping chapters with Lev, nah, that chapter probably had nothing to do with funerals.

You had no time to waste, just ask and dip out as fast as you can. Luckily for you, you found a sibyl right away... bumping right into her.

"Fu-I mean, Are you okay, sister?" Uh oh, you tongue slipped. She didn't mind though, thank goodness.

"Yes, I am fine. Watch you-"

"Huh? Woah!" Aaand your feet slipped too when you took a few steps away from her landing awkwardly on your back.

"Here, let me help you..." It was at this time when your eyes met and boy, you were actually stunned by her oddly serene beauty: Long hair white as snow, creamy and soft skin and petite lips to top it off. Her greyish eyes however were beyond captivating like a precious pearl in the bottom of the sea. Only the moons could sculpt such a heavenly figure.

She is truly perfect.

"Take my hand." While you were lost in her eyes, she had extended her hand for you. From where you were standing, all the whiteness around you had blended together leaving you with a breathtaking face drawing you closer.

You are blushing again, aren't you? Worst thing is: The elf didn't look down up you or something, she truly wanted to help you.

Should you take her hand? Your fatass might take her down with you. You will literally die of embarrassment if she landed on top of you like those cheesy romance flicks. Then again, this might be your only chance to hold her hands....are you really that desperate?

Denying a sibyl's help is also an asshole-ish move AND it will bring bad luck to everyone around you for three days if you are to believe this stuff. That guy who kept yapping about curses in your dorm would probably strangle you if he knew about this.

>>4740998
>>4741003

"T-thanks." Such warmth radiating from her fingertips, she also had quite a grip as well. Can it get any worse?

"Why were you so eager to leave the shrine? The ceremony is yet to start."

" I... realized I don't know anything about funerals and stuff. I didn't wanna cause a scene asking the Sibyls inside, soooo can you help me out?" It wasn't the best way to put it but it will do.

"Gladly, May I know your name?"

"Fol, Err J-Johann Fol." Stop stuttering like a retard. You are embarrassing yourself!

" I am Sister Oenthya. Satha's willing, I will answer all of your questions." she arched a gentle smile, guiding you towards a bench.

" I mean no disrespect sister but can we go with the shorter version? I feel like you and I are gonna miss the whole ceremony."

"We won't." She had such confidence in her words " Satha has led you to me, It is my duty to answer his divine call."

Well, that came out of nowhere. Looks like you are gonna miss it alright "Cool, So what is this funeral about? "

"The spirits of the dead must return to their creator. We simply lend them enough willpower for a safer passage to Satha's embrace." She began her explanations " Several rituals must be performed by the spirit's relatives, its kin and its friends of different kin in that order. It is a shame that our deceased leave her mortal shell in such... brutal fashion."

"At least the moon showed the way to the killer, right?"

There was something on the tip of her tongue that she chose to swallow instead, the sibyl continued ignoring your last comment " We plea to different aspects of Satha, they are: The Wise, The Amicable, The Talented, The Brave and The Kind. It is up to you to choose which aspect do you want to plea to."

"Wasn't there a sixth one? " Now, you are starting to remember.

"Yes and No, The Charitable is indeed recognized in some parts across the world but It has nothing to do with his holy presence..." Quite a touchy subject right there " It is elf-made as a mean to accumulate wealth from the faithful. The Holy Lune does not recognize such blatant heresies anymore."

" Our Last Low King, a thousand curse upon his soul, had meddled with our holy order , exploiting the followers of Satha. He imprisoned our dear custodians, killed many of our sisters who didn't align with his way of thinking. " Heh, so much for 'no corruption' in the Holy Lune. You knew Lev was taurshitting you.

"Can't wait to see his mummified fatass down in the pit."

"It is a wondrous sight, yes, " your snarky remark had washed away any anger she previously had " As I was saying , You must plea to a certain aspect of Satha. The Mooncaller sibyl should relay your pleas in the shrine then you will proceed to enact your pleas near the pillars. You should choose carefully."

"Got it." Sister Oneytha proceed to give further explanations for stuff you are too late to perform thanks to her. They go as follows:

The Brave: Lift a small yet heavy effigy of the deceased

The Kind: Shed several tears in the chalice of sorrows.

The Amiable : Converse with the deceased for one last time.

The Wise: Leave an insightful quote in the Everbook of departure

The Talented : Maintain a certain posture to pay respects to the deceased.

The Charitable?: Technically, It doesn't exist anymore but the attendees could buy Burial Gifts in exchange for a sibyl to plea on their stead if the attendee can't participte in the ritual for one reason or another. This DOES NOT count as a donation since all the gifts are crafted by the sibyl. Furthermore, all the pons will go back to the shrine without any greedy asshat on the top slurping it.

While some of this pleas are no-brainers, the snow-haired elf insisted upon choosing the plea which defines you the most; picking the easiest one just because it is easy will invoke Satha's ire upon you or whatever...you are not really buying all of that but you nodded along.

"What will it be?" The Sister was waiting for your answer.

>I knew this was a waste of time , later [LEAVE, save 1 TIME]
>I'll pick one alright but I am not telling you, sorry [specify]
>Dunno, which one should I pick, Sister?
>Does it matter? The ceremony had already started...probably. Thanks for nothing.
>I'll go with the Brave. I'll carry that weight.
>Wise, I am extremely mature for my age, You-I mean, Satha will see.
>The Kind. It has to be it.
>The Amicable, I really didn't get the chance to speak with her. It is now or never, sister.
>I am prettttty nimble, Talented is only the real choice here for me.
>The Charitable? We have been here for quite a while , better than nothing [Skip the shrine ceremony]

"I sense great grief within you. Yes, I do believe your pleas will be heard quite well. Come, It is time to start the ceremony."

"Start?"

"Forgive me, I failed to mention that I am the Mooncaller... " Your eyes widened; did she really waste like 15 minutes talking with you instead of performing her duties? Why?

Whatever, the two of you headed back to the shrine. You thought the ceremony would start right away but The Mooncaller had other plans...

________

The shrine apparently had a small changing room tucked near one of its corners, the elf re-emerged out of it in a beautiful
white dress accompanied by a wooden staff. Everyone had already chosen a coloured tile to stand on. The white tiles belonged to the Kind aspect of Satha, you were in fact the only guy standing there. Your choice had earned you a couple of stares but you don't care... this is where you will stand, no one is gonna change your mind.

Sister Oneytha took several graceful steps towards the platform in the middle. You began to blush a little when you saw her bare back, now it definitely not the time for that. Miss Yuni was in your row actually taking the lead. She wore one of those funeral veil hats but it did little to hide her gorge of tear. Miss Khakigg and Mr. Kaff (who managed to sneak his thermal cup into the shrine) were here as well.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YfuEQj053U

The elf was calling to Satha in a seraphic chant , pouring all of her heart into her sacred duty. This went on for half an hour of so until other sibyls had brought a large effigy made out of wood, hay and flowers slowly dropping it in the pool. If the body was intact, they wouldn't have gone for this effigy instead. You don't know how but the effigy was attracting small glimmering particles in the water almost forming a greenish blue halo around the object.

Another half hour had passed under her most beautiful chants. She is singing something in ye old elven language but you can't figure it out just yet. The wooden staff wasn't her for show; The Mooncaller was leaning on it from time to time. You can't imagine singing/ calling for a literal divine for an hour non stop. Hell, just standing there doing nothing is making YOUR legs feel kinda wobbly. Thankfully, The doors were opened after that one hour mark , several attendees had already left to perform the appropriate ritual at one of the five pillars..

Only a handful remained inside the shrine....are they waiting for the Mooncaller to finish? Or is it the other way around? What are you going to do?

>Wait, this is quite a religious experience, plus, her voice is great.

One by one, the attendees were starting to leave and yet you stayed where you were. You didn't realize that you are the only guy left until, much, much later. You are past two hours for sure.

Sister Oneytha didn't falter, her throat was getting sore but she continued calling Satha. Are you doing this wrong? Maybe you should leave, you are aching to sit down AND you are basically torturing the poor sibyl at this point. It would be super rude to interrupt the Mooncaller with a question, still, beats standing like that forever. Too bad there ain't any sibyls around anymore.

" No, We...we are done." She was spitting jagged rocks by the time she stopped singing " May Satha forgive your ignorance and impudence..."

" sorry?" Your words were ignored as she went back to the changing room. You have a feeling that Satha isn't as kind and merciful as people think he is.

-Enemies will 100% CRIT [both phys and spells] for the next combat

Hm? Does the Mooncaller have a CRT TV inside that room or something? That static noise is awfully loud. Whatever, you are leaving. Where is this Yenv guy when you need him?

You left the shrine heading towards the pillar of the kind, you are actually kinda pissed off right now. Not in the mood for tears, damn it, you just had to be impatient.

You looked around, the cemetery had none but sibyls and the dead; the attendees must have finished their rituals way before you. Now, it is only you and the chalice which was half full .

Tears, tears, tears.... you can't bring them out right now. What can you do in such a bad situation? Faking out tears was a pesudo-profession for you as a kid ; you crocodile tears saved your ass in a couple of situations. How about going for another pillar? No one is around to judge you...well, except Satha himself. A good alternative is to leave since you are too hotheaded to perform the ritual correctly.

You can't blame yourself for misinterpreting the ceremony, it is *her* fault, not yours! She didn't bother to tell you this tidbit of info, yeah, you shouldn't be mad at yourself. Screw that funeral AND their moon god. You have already paid your respects by beating Lust.

Despite your best efforts, you were still unable to shed a single tear.

"Fuck," you kicked the snow in frustration before noticing a sibyl coming your way. Yep, it is getting awkward.

"Would you like to purchase a burial gift?" The 'good' sister said it is a valid option but you are not exactly coughing pons left and right.

>I...I actually cried, y-yeah. [Lie]

"This way." The metal shack which housed the burial gifts was barely lit with a flickering lamp straight out of a exorcism movie. The sister stationed in this quasi-darkness was quite miserable, can't blame her for that; the cemetery is literally falling apart and the city-state would rather waste her pons somewhere else.

The sibyl muttered something before bringing you the painting, it was medium sized, enough to hang it in your sanctuary without any problem. Hauling it back home will be a bitch though.

For better or worse, your job here is done. You left the cemetery, hoping that you won't step into this place ever again.

Ahh, Home sweeet home. You just want to sit back and relax in the lounge for the rest of the day. It has been , really, really a tiresome day. Since you basically have pocket change, you realllly should find some work. You got two good avenues so far: Miss Stag and Juilan but you feel those two are not enough especially with your upcoming expenses. Ideally, you should look for new jobs in your academy or in the newspaper...searching on the internet is not as reliable.

-Outside : The orc hobo continues being an ass to everyone passing through
-Garden: Veishu had dozed off while watering the flowers
-Kitchen: Someone is yapping about the 'Gurgao Hao' Challenge, whatever this is.

VELVET WORKSHOP
______________________

" White? Hello?" The place was too quiet from someone as hyperactive as him.

"SSSSSSSUUUUUUUURPRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSE!!!!"

"GAH!" That sneaky rabbit had two air horn scaring the ever loving shit out of you " Whats with the confetti ?"

"You beat a SIN! WooHOO!" He curled up into a rubber ball bouncing all over the place "That means bondy thing is now stronger between us!"

"Really?" Huh, your eye confirms it, neat.

RANK UP [WHITE]

RANK II [ CUBICAL INFINITY]
Unlocks the prismatic trials.

RANK III [???]
???

"What's that?" White had a small metallic cube between his paws which kept changing pattern and texture every few seconds.

" Fighty fight cube, sooo cool but dangerous. Ahem-" You found White standing ( he had several versions of himself below him) behind a podium made out of junk looking all academic , ready to give you a proper explanation.

TUTORIAL NO.50
「 PRISMATIC TRIALS」

-A series of challenges created by Mouten's Former master specifically for the son of twelve and his company.

- 99 Challenges , First challenge has level one enemy and so on. Each 5th and 10th challenge has either a mini-boss or a boss you have previously encounter with a twist. Both of said unique challenges will have modifiers to them making the fight even harder.

-Entry Fee is : Max party member level x 100 Makka

-Shadows fought in the prismatic trials don't drop XP or Makka and the can't be recruited. No health or TIME is gained between stages (0 TIME is not an issue). Defeat will expel everyone back to the workshop.

-However, there are two types of rewards gained; First one is gained by beating the 5th and the 10th fight, the other one is cumulative; the party will gain a combo meter with each victory like so : x1.1, x 1.2, x 1.3...etc. When retreating , they will gain said reward. Some rewards are exclusive to the prismatic trials,

-One must know when to continue and when to quit; if the party was defeated, it will lose ALL of its combo meter and will have start it all over again from the last trial they had won.

"That's cool, I guess? Does it really need makka though?"

"Yeah," He nodded, his clones among the podium were gone in a flash "FRIEND, You want to stay? to play? "

"Actually, I wanted to exchange some makka.." You can tell he wasn't too happy about it.

"Alone is SAD, My toys don't like to TALK but they are FLUFFY." You don't know whether you should be creeped out or proud by them.

Your toy was...you guessed it: Fat, that or you seeing things. Mouten's toy was literally on fire but neither White nor his toy seem to mind. Kaz's toy was weird; it had horns and a pitchfork for some reason.

"He is the devil. Devils are evil and PITCHFORKS." The rabbit in a tux gave you a pout while crossing his arms.

"I wouldn't exactly call him evil but I feel you, He needs some tweaking here and there." No more killing, no matter how bad the sinner is. White shook his head refusing any word of yours, he'll come around eventually.

"FRIEND or Should I say: HOONTER! The mortals of your world are talking about you, their words can and will change both worlds. So BE CAREFUL."

"Got it. " You didn't really got the chance to follow the news, you really should do that to see the reaction of the public and the CPD.

"bye-bye!" He kept waving so fat that his skill fell off his arm in just a few seconds.

"I am OKAY!" You really ought to talk with Maq about his mental state, it is raising some concerns for sure.

_________________________

The masked dryad was having a quick nap on top of his watering can, it doesn't look comfortable like at all.

"Hey man, wake up, it is cold out her-"

"GAH! " Veishu bolted out of the bench spilling water all over the ground. You startled him so much that one of his white flowers sprouting between his jet black hair had instantly wilted out and died. It was about to fall out at any second.

"Please, don't do that again. I am.... under a lot of stress lately." The first seed took a deep breath, trying to calm down a tad. You wanted to talk to him about Lust and his involvement with the CPD but maybe now is not the time. Then again, He might know something that might endanger the Moonlit hunters. Hmmm....

>Hey man, wanna chill out in the dorm? You look like you have been to the moon or something.
>I was worried about you, never trusted the blues .... not in my Yerth and certainly not in here. What did they want with you anyways?
>I dunno about you but when I am bummed out, I eat like a Gyag. Let's order something...
>Oof, the flowers ain't looking good. Need an extra pair of green thumbs around? Thumbs? Thumb? Uuuuh...

"I guess so," He was too polite to say no even though he really didn't want to, you could see it in his eyes. The dryad wanted to be left alone but this is never a good and healthy choice to make ; you could easily count the days and the weeks you had no one to talk to.... worst days of your life.

Luckily for both of you, no one was hogging the TV which means you have *the* power to wield the most destructive weapon in modern times:

The remote.

Ah yes, the crazy people from the other side of the globe committing to the word Zany with a capital Z. Right now , they were running a show called 'Snail on my heart, Graduate!'

The subtitles were both too slow and too inaccurate , however, you were starting to get the gist of it: An elf wearing a really skimpy school uniform was waiting at the finish line of a running tracks with five contestants on all fours wearing what seemed to be a heavy shell. Their arms and legs were slightly tied up only allowing them crawl their way to victory. The orange goo scattered all over the track should make things easier for those would-be gastropods.

The producers of the show were really putting a lot of effort in sound effects and cutesy animations. As for the snails, all of them were elves with the exception of a really fat orc who had the biggest shell. A strange premise ,yes, butc you are enjoying it.

You can't say the same for Veishu, He looked away whenever there was a pantyshot of the 'school girl' or something like that.

This channel had an endless chain of political analysts, historians, researches and Luno-Astrologists trying to make head or tail of your little group.

"Nileth is stirring some trouble in our soil, this light show is part of a much grander scheme." Oh hey, it is that fat elven politician again.

"I think my bus passed on Nileth when I first arrived here. Is there bad blood between the two city states?"

"Yes," The dryad nodded " The two kingdoms were always at war even under the high king's banner. There are several territorial disputes with them, both land and Maritime disputes."

"Shoulda paid more attention to Miss Rusvi hehe..." Something, something Flag Agreement. Basically, Cairth nearly turned Nileth into a land-locked city-state out of spite (and taking a cut over any sea imports/exports) while Nileth took a chunk of land which happened to be rich in precious metals and oil. Of course, Cairth didn't know that back then.

"What do you think about this agreement?"

>Meh, Don't care.
>Elves backstabbing elvers, more news at 11
>Honestly, everyone should return the territory they acquired or whatever.
>I , for one, would welcome our Nilethian overlords
> I say, they invade the shit out of them and steal our oil back!

+++ Socialize

" Yes, It is the right thing to do. " A bit idealistic from his side, greed had already clouded their minds.

You gained more insight about the great web of politics surrounding Cairth thanks to both Veishu and the fat politician. The onslaught of words and clashing opinions had caused an unwanted headache, Oh well.

While you didn't manage to cheer up your dryad friend, you distracted him long enough with political talk. That high five will have to wait for another time.

You said your goodnights before heading to your pod. You will need all the energy for tomorrow.
