You refused their help, why should you? They had left you for in the middle of nowhere after meddling with your flesh. You did not trust them. In return, a sense of serenity had washed over you. You closed your eyes for a moment enjoying the imaginary embrace of a mother you could no longer recall. This peaceful moment had ended when you the voices had returned...

'Hmm, We have foreseen such stubbornness. We would have helped a lost soul with knowledge, supplies and such but our courier has other plans." Said the Cadver captain with clear disdain in his voice 'No matter, your body will obey us, Ogata out.'


Silence. Dreadful silence. The voices in your head had stopped their chatter and yet you could still feel their watchful gaze behind every step you took eastward. Yes, to the east.... this was where your body wanted to go, you couldn't even consider taking another direction as if something invisible was drawing you to it. The more you marched on, the more your stomach would growl in protest. A vicious hunger had beset your body, you l could neither see nor hear straight on your way to ancient ruins. The spires of steel and stone were mostly leveled to the ground, at least one could seek shelter away the blistering suns.


"No...not like this..." You heard the echoes of someone deep within a dilapidated building half sunken in sand. Was it curiosity that had drawn you to the source of these cries or something more sinister?

"Aaah! A human! P-please don't eat me!" The moment you saw a one winged Pixie [ Fairy, Neutral] , your mouth was already drooling. You didn't care whether her right side was disfigured and maimed by a dark spell or not...you wanted her flesh. Your body had reacted to your hunger... shadowy talons, dislocated jaw, sickle like fangs, long slithering tongue... where you still a human at this point? Your prey couldn't even walk let alone fly from danger. What would you do?

>Consume the pixie , add more demon flesh to your belly. Feast on the meek.
>Resist your urge and suffer for your selflessness
>Be practical, ask for something else to spare the little morsel.

>>6047825

"I-is this enough?" The Pixie in pain had fluttered her sole wing for a small cloud of glittery dust revealing a secret stash just out of her reach.

You found one medicine , one smoke bomb and one divine tear

"L-lady Gwyneve will empower your soul with this divine tear. Her fountains of miracles are scattered everywhere. Now leave me alone..." The Pixie wasn't lying, you sensed great power from this tear. Did it exist from the sorrow state of this world?

>You are a man of your word, leave the pixie to her fate.
>Show pity on the lowly demon, administer the medicine.
>Devour the clueless fool, your hunger controls you not the other way around.

You lost one medicine

After reverting to your original form, you had crushed the green medcine pellet and rubbed power all over her body. She was going to protest but the rejuvenation effect of the medicine had left her speechless for a few seconds.

" You... saved me? Why? Your kin sees us as food.Always has been the case since the godless eclipse . Ohhh, I should be grateful about it." The fairy was as good as new thanks to you.

"I mean you can try and eat it, it wouldn't do much though in your gut." She shrugged from your question " You got demon or demon-imbued human meat . I heard some wackos trying to make synthetic meat. Good luck with that , I say."

The two of you were so absorbed in matters or life and death that you failed register your lack of clothes. Luckily for you, the blushing Pixie had guided to a room filled with skeletons in teal suits, they were picked clean by demons centuries ago. You found their horned golden helmets with glaring red eyes to be quite fashionable and durable. The question was: which one would you take?

You had chosen a physical role. Swinging an ever sharp blade and aiming with a pistol had felt natural to you.


"Looking good, what is your name? " Before you could answer, the world was spinning around you, your chest felt heavy and your vision was getting blurry.

"Hey,hey,hey, are you okay?"

THUD

.

O

.


"D-don't scare me like that! Stupid human..." When you woke up, you found yourself on a comfy mattress from the old world. The demon whom you saved was feeding you glowing eyes, they were squishy and surprisingly tasty.

Bonne nuit!

" What are those? Umasut Grapes , weaker demon can't really hunt for themselves so they forage these grape from the soil, they belong to a pretty docile and big demon, he doesn't mind missing a few eyes, they will grow back."

You thanked her for her kindness. You must continue your strange journey to the east. You were surprised to see her blocking your path with her tiny body.

"Where do you think you are going, dumb human? You will get yourself killed out there. You need me just as I need you.. to kill the demon who did this to me..."

Pixie joined your party.

"So what's your story, huh?" You told Pixie everything by a small campfire.

" Yeah, I can tell something was special about you from your scent. I dunno what kind of demon you were fused with but it sure smells tasty! N-not that I can eat you or anything. You are too big for lil Pixie!" Pouted your demonic companion. You had to ask her about the state of the world to fill the blanks in your mind, she had to following to say.

"You know, Angels and demons duking it out in the world of humans. Some big shot decides that enough is enough and turns all humans into real monsters through the godless eclipse i told you about. You guys ate *everyone* almost wiping both sides out... some humans ate too much eventually turning to either angels or demons balancing it out. There are few of you and plenty of us now. That's what you get, nasty humans!"

Her words did make sense, your sudden transformation was a proof of what she had said. Was there any pure human left in this world?

"East, huh? Wellll, let me give you some pointers first." You learned valuable information which were:

-This place was called Akinu Luxury complex (???) , a place where humans would squander their wealth on lavish items.
-A gang known as The Jawbones had recently captured a tasty blind human, their motives were unclear.
-this following was a rough sketch of the area:

The fountain in question was an untouched slice of paradise in a desolate world, made out of pure and surronded by lush vegetation. The reason it wasn't sullied by demons was the protective barrier around it that had let you and Pixie pass through it.

SPLASH

YAAAWWNNN

Suddenly, the fountain had revealed the woman slumbering under the surface: a golden giantess with a fish tail for a lower half and long flaxen hair conveniently covering her voluptuous breasts.

"Are you the one with the divine tear?" Lady Gwyneve continued stretching for a few minutes "Surrender it to me and I shall teach you miracles so I turn back to...sleep..."

You had unlocked Unseen potential
You had unlocked an innate passive for Pixie ( Fairy's luck): Slightly increases the chance of finding restorative items in the outworld.

Like dropping a coin in wishing well, you too had dropped the divine tear in her open mouth after she had gently cupped you in her hands. One wrong slip and you might followed the same path, better be more careful next time. As promised, she had bestowed a miracle on you via her holy melody. Yes, you became slightly more powerful than before.

"Mmmm, astoundingly delicious! Be on your way, little human. Buh-byee~" Just like that, Lady Gwyneve took a deep dive into the fountain leaving both you and Pixie all wet... not a bad thing actually considering the hellish weather around you.

"Look, look!" You stumbled upon a most peculiar sight twenty minutes later... a Slime [Foul, Chaos] being dangerously close to the edge of a broken bridge where a pit of black fire raged on down below.

"Me uSleSS, WeAk aND UslEss. STInky DeMoN FLeSh TOo..."

"H-he is gonna jump! What to do?"

Without hesitation, you had unloaded your pistol on the demon leaving a green and disgusting puddle on the ground. Neither the Slime nor Pixie had seen it coming.

You had found two (one plus one) medicine and twenty Macca amidst its remains

" I guess I can't blame you. No one will probably miss this guy. Can we move on? The stench is making me sick." Your companion sounded weird while holding her nose like so.

The way forward was through a tall building leaning on another one. You were forced to take the stairs to the sixteenth floor with Pixie leading the way.

"O-Oh, let’s turn back. There is really nothing here...no,no, don'tcome any closer-" Said your demonic friend, she was lying to you for your own good because of the eight Pixies across the hallway, they were preoccupied with tearing through a woman in an iron mask like rats inside her carcass. Their bloodied visage was a farcry of the supposed innocence and cuteness of a Pixie. In the end of the day, they were still demons.

"Let’s head back, I don't see anything coming out of-"

crrreeak

"MEAT.."

"HIS ROD IS MIINEE" The Pixies drenched in gore and viscera noticed you because of one unfortunate step you took backwards. This was going to be ugly should you decide to run your blade through them.

A smoke bomb was the perfect cover for your hasty escape. You would have been more confident if you had more demons by your side.

"We are getting close to the Jawbones territory, we should be careful." Your fairy friend didn't really need to remind you; all the skeletons and bone chimes dangling from metal poles were sufficient to let you know. You were curious about the whereabouts of their victims.

" Oh, there is a human village to the west ran by a demon believe it or not. They mostly keep to themselves."

Your conversation was suddenly interrupted by a Mokoi [ Night, Neutral] who attempted to startle both of you by fancing furiously.

" HEY! This was NOT funny!" Pixie almost had a miniature heart attack "How come you aren't trying to eat us or anything?"

"Sorrrry, I thought it be cool to show you my moves. Am I cool, Mister?"

Mokoi's passive (Neutralizer) : Cancels the effect of one Chaos/Law aligned Buffer demon in combat

"Welcome to the team, Mokoi!" Pixie gave him a warm welcome.

"Would you look at that! So shiny!" The three of you had found a rusty fishing ship loaded with all sorts of treasure in a giant net dangling from its back crane. You had no idea how something of that size would wind up in the middle of a luxury complex, better not to question it. All of that fat loot was suspiciously unguarded. What should you do-

Rrriinggg

'Hey, it is me, Sayora. Just letting you know that Tobika is *really* pissed off right now, she is itching for a fight. You are basically inviting her to beat you and your demon buddies senseless. Please don't make it harder on both of us. You *need* a navigator. Plain and simple.'

"Helloooo? Why are you spacing out?" Pixie kept waving at you. She and Mokoi were waiting for you to make your next move.

>Ignore the ship, this was clearly a bait

>Make Mokoi enter the ship alone as a 'scout'

"What are you doing in my home?" A Mermaid [Femme, Chaos] was as surprised as you were "Leave , I don't wish to end more lives with my voice..."

" Then why are you leaving all of this treasure outside? You are begging for someone to steal it!" Pixie had a point.

"It is tribute for Amphitrite , the goddess of the sea who will unleash a deluge on this land cleansing it from humans preying on our flesh. She will return to save us, I know it."

>Draw your blade, you are having seafood for lunch [Unclear outcome]

Victory!

You collected twenty demon flesh and thirty Macca from the fallen


" May..Amphirite aveng-" You pulled out your blade from her gut for a quick decapitation instructing Mokoi to chase after the rolling head down the stairs for you had no intention to waste any ounce of demon flesh.

You had found two fire shards, two hundred Macca, three divine tears , one chakara drop and one bead

Her offering was definitely worth fighting for. You did squint your eyes when you noticed that your pocket was a bit lighter.

" Why are you looking at me like that? Mokoi was going to die if I didn't use that Medicine! My magic? I don't have an infinite wellspring of healing spells, you know. We can run out of stamina pretty fast. I am a Pixie not Mara or Thor for crying out loud!"

>Commend her for looking after a fellow demon
>No item usage in battle. Ever.
>Use items to be at tip-top shape after combat
>Don't waste items on trivial encounters

You too were winded after this battle. Perhaps there was someone or something that could reinvigorate you and your party in an instant.

"Look Mister, an arcade!" The sushi demon had pointed at a mostly intact establishment with the lights on. It was powered by...ghosts unaware of their demise.

"We call this a holy fracture , a strong angel had sacrificed himself to protect a small area from the Godless eclipse. The only thing he did was keeping their souls in a endless loop." shrugged Pixie, she was more interested in scouring handbags for beauty products.

"Yay! This is fun!" Despite not having any opposable thumbs or fingers, Mokoi was actually pretty good in a game called Fatal Fight involving women in swimsuit brutalizing each other. You lost fair and square after getting suplexed too many times.

"Thanks, Mister!"

Mokoi became Debuffer+1

"Ishtar's juicy tits! Am i seeing this right? Got any demon flesh on you, pal? Eating sand feels like shit." You had found an emicated Petra [ Haunt, Chaos] in the middle of the road. He looked like he could die at any given moment.

"Ew,ewww,eww.. cover that thing! So disgusting!" Pixie hid behind you so she wouldn't see more of the naked demon.

" Uuuh, sure. Couple of days ago, the Jawbones got their hands on some chick. Not your average human meatbag, I tell ya. Something is special about her. Oh and get stocked on goodie-two-shoes light shit. There, now give me the good shit, like five slabs of flesh!"

"Is the the bus stop? Look pretty normal to me." This too was your opinion until you sat down. Through a ripple in the skies, came a mangled abomination of a winged black horse and a white bus. Legs will poking out of the windows, stretched skin sizzling with electricity and festering flesh dangling from the sides. This thing had landed with a disgusting squelch. The bus' door had opened for a hooded figure to come out.

"And so, my services are needed once again. I am Josephine, pleased to meet you." The mysterious woman had extended her hand to you... if one could call it that " Don't be shy, Devourer of demons. . This visitor from another time bears no ill intent towards you. Shake my hand."

Once your hand had touched an ever-shifting mass of tendrils and flesh. You soul were projected out of your body for a fraction of a section. Not even your fellow demons had noticed anything strange with her handshake.

"Ah, you are carrying a precious cargo within you. Yes, very succulent indeed. I could add it to my own. No, I can not rob you of your destiny. Pardon my most impure thoughts."

" This lady is giving me the creeps! Let's get outta here!" Pixie had every reason to be unsettled by this Josephine.

"And miss out on my valuable services? A grim mistake." Her chuckle was akin to three demons trying to crawl out of her throat "I am an interdimensional merchant and bus driver...among other thing-"

"Missed me, dipshit?" The one who hurled a mercury javelin oozing with blight was Tobika , she was already drenched in demon blood. She looked like a ripped savage forced to wear a black jumpsuit with a four eyed emblem under her hefty chest. She pulled another Javelin from a hand inside throat pinning Joesphine against her bus.

"Someone just had to be preeettyyy fucking stupid today. I will skewer and devour your stupid friends one by one, meat. Say no to us again and I will defile your petty little corpse. Don't worry about the delivery, we will fuse it with someone with an actual fucking brain this time. Will you fucking submit? "


>Retreat, you don't have a deathwish
>Submit to avoid bloodshed
>Fight against Tobika [Lethal outcom-

" One fused with an endless stream of demons can not die so easily." The seemingly dead Joesphine had freed herself from the Javelin choosing to stand by your side.

Joesphine [???, ???, ???+99 role] had joined your party

The merchant had lifted a finger causing blood to burst out of every orifice of your foe. Her shrieks of pain would have pierced your ear drums had you been a bit closer.

"Her fate is yours, Devourer of demons. Will you feast on her dying body? The flesh within hungers for a power long stripped from it.Or are you willing to show mercy to your enemies regardless of their transgressions?" a faint touch from Joesphine had given you the power to mend any wound once and yet your left half was transforming to that thing that almost devoured Pixie. Human flesh...soaked with powers of yore, it was almost irresistible.

You approached the twitching woman on the ground, the arm in her throat had gone limp, still holding a Javlien that was meant for you.

I don't think she'd be a good fit for any of our demons - but maybe if we keep her body we'll find one to fuse her into? I feel like eating her would make us into something like her...

You had fully surrendered to your inner desires by lunging forward and sinking your wicked fangs into her neck to tear chunks of delectable flesh in murderous glee.

The transformed monster that was yourself had pull out her arms out of their sockets. Meat was not enough for you, you snapped the bone for its sweet marrow adding more flavour to your morbid feast. You didn't stop there, the meat on her chest was ripped clean off as you were prying off her rib cage with your talons. There, all the delicious organs waiting to be claimed by your maw.

The heart, the spleen, the liver... you had slurped everything up leaving a desecrated husk in a pool of blood. As for the head, you pulled it out with your bare hands chucking it in your mouth. You chewed on and on until you had a thick paste of red balloning up for your cheeks. Perhaps the tastiest part of her was the silver worm that had a hand at its end, a parasite demon maybe? It didn't matter, you loved its slimy texture.

You had gained a new skill for all possible roles: Silver Deluge
You had grown more powerful

It was official. You had turned on those who thought of you as a mule and yet you felt compelled to deliver the meat within you to its destination eastwards. Your little act of violence didn't really shock your friends. It was how things worked around here.

"Marvellous work. You have taken one step towards greatness. Now, back to the matter at hand... My shop works differently, you simply ask for three items of high, medium, low priority in any quantity and I shall check if I have them in stock. First item in a new area is always for free. Shall we do business? Please do note that I dislike idle chatter and needless questions."

You exchanged all of your macca for one medicine and one Chakara drop

You were given a divine tear as a promotional gift

"Are my prices too steep for you? Good luck trying to find an honest merchant. That golden sow might have the means to make our exchange a bit more fair. ," You were a bit miffed over losing your precious macca over two items then again, that divine tear must be quite pricey so it balanced things out.

"Satisfied? Good luck with your messy endeavours." Just like that, Joesphine entered her winged bus and disappeared into a crack in the skies. She was certainly a very mysterious woman, you should keep an eye on her.

Before you could decide where to go next, a sinkhole of flesh and dull teeth had swallowed the three and your friends spewing you out in an empty field where more of these living holes kept belching out bones and dead demons.

"I did it-ho! First De-heemon local teheeporter. You are the first survivors, ho!" A Jack-o'-Lantern [Fairy-Neutral] had waved at you innocently.

"We have cuts all over because you, pumpkinhead!" Pixie was pissed from the little guy.

"Soo-hee...how about you take a qui-heez to test your demon knowledge, ho? Answer all questions hee and I will give a su-hoper prize! Here, read this!" He gave you a pamphlet written crayons. It had the following on it:

"What about the third question?' Pixie was curious.

"That will be the Fiend race... Matador, White rider, Trumpeter, Mother Hee-rlot... they are all spooky! Better luck next time, ho!"

You gained one hundred Macca

With that said, The Halloween decoration vanished in a puff of smoke along with his worm friends.

"Miss Pixie, can you heal me?"

"Ehhh, I dunno. The worm had roughed us up, it will be up to our guy to decide."

"..." The closer your party would get to where Pixie wanted you to go, the more sullen she would become. When you asked her if she was okay, the fairy would deflect your question or avoid it entirely. Something wasn't right with her.

"Greetings, human." An Angel [Divine, Law] had swooped down from the skies with a glowing box in her hands " Would you mind donating anything to the Catherdral of Virtues ? We help those in need to see the light."

"We... are here." Your Pixie had resisted the urge to fly away from this place, a lot of Pixies were dumped in a single pile. Their rotten corpses had all shared the same gaping wound


"Well, well, if it isn't our runaway demon sleeve..." An Incubus [Night, Chaos] with an unusual large... stinger had flied out of a den of degeneracy down below " I know you couldn't resist my lil incubus. Heh~"

"You.." Pixie had clenched her fist, tears trailing from her petit cheek "You will pay for what you have down to me and my sister!"

"Oooh, I am scared." He shifted his attention to you "You are that human wanting a piece of the Jawbones, right? I ain't got no beef with you so think about for a sec... are you really wanna mess with me and the boys for some sloppy seconds? Help me clip her wings and I will give ya something realll special I stole from the Jawbones."

Victory!

You collected one hundred demon flesh and ninety Macca from the fallen


"RRRAAAGHHH!!! TAKE THIS AND THIS!!" After violently snapping his stinger, she buried it in one eye socket after another until she was bathed in his blood.

You told her that it was over, she could rest easy. For her, it was a hollow victory... a victory that had claimed Mokoi's life. Was her petty vengeance truly worth it?

Mokoi's remains could have been chopped down for more demon flesh but you didn't have it in you to do so. Instead, you buried him close to where the two of you had played on the arcade machine.

" Ehhh, I don't know that much about human gizmos." Admitted Pixie when asked about the possible whereabouts of a video player. At any rate, you had returned to the golden fountain and Lady Gwyneve.


YAWNNN

"Back for more? More divine tears for me and more miracles for you... a fair exchange, no?"

"What happened here?" Pixie was bewildered by this recent carnage of what used to be a small neighbourhood made from six streets intersecting each other. Someone or something had ran through an unknown number of slimes and black oozes splattering them all over the place with some varying degrees compared to each other. The demon viscera on the third street had painted everything green up to the nineth floor. Meanwhile, the second street looked somewhat normal except for demon guts pooling up on the pavement. The same could not be said for the first street, it was mired only to the third floor or so.

"Errr, There might be a pattern here but we shouldn't really take the risk unless we wanna wind up like these guys, better leave this place..." Suggested your sole companion.

Your naked eye could barely catch the glimpse of an afterimage of someone on all fours whizzing by dozens of times per second.

SLAM

The moment you stepped in this street, you saw an old hag grinning before going full speed ahead, she almost ran through you had it not been for your quick reflexes. Instead of getting turned into human paste, you were sent flying into an apartment on the second floor where a Cait Sith [Beast, Neutral] was cowering in fear.

" M-meoorww, that turbo Granny went ka-zaza! I go with you, human. No questions asked."

Caith Sith [Critter Role] ( Passive Feline Finesse : Gain extra fixed Macca after each fight based on your previous combat encounters) had joined your party!

Pixie had used a bead on you.

" Grrr, look at you! You almost died! Stupid human." Pixie had scolded you like a mother before the three of you would bolt it out of there.

Your eighth sense had clutched your chest, you might perish here...

"What the...?" The dried up lake had been repurposed into a racing track with one contestant galloping none stop until he had seen you and the others. It was an unholy fusion of a bicorn and a unicorn gone very,very, wrong....eight legs, patchy white and purple fur, two heads melting into one bulbous mass and three horns knotted together. His eyes in particular hosted a plethora of endless colours.

"This doesn't look good." Pillars of smoke could be seen in the horizon. Instead of ruined buildings and lots and lots of sand, you were standing at the entrance of a sprawling industrial park with bleak designs that were covered by brilliant paintings of demons. The entrance had a crude warning of sorts that required the three of you to interpret.

"Meeroow, whoever lives here doesn't want any strangers knocking on their door." Caith Seth frowned.

"That is correct, my Feline demon." A mysterious figure had swooped in, a robed man with a familiar iron mask. Yes, it was worn by that women who was eaten by a swarm of Pixies " Cease your hostilities, I come in peace... and with a proposal."

You were cautious of this faceless man like the rest of your party, he didn't seem to be alarmed by your aggressive stance " My name is Verdou, I aim to see an end to the conflict in the threelands for... personal reasons. Help me and I shall do the same."

Before you would commit to anything, you asked about the current situation in the Threelands.

" Three demons with their little tribes are at each other’s throats for centuries. Outsiders are mostly killed on sight. They want to deal with their squabble first before interacting with the outside world, crazy bunch. " when asked about what he could actually do for you , the man had a hearty chuckle " My pockets are loaded with Macca, firend. For the low, low price of two thousand Macca, I will provide a navigator for you. Don't have the Macca? Take a loan from yours truly, only five percent Intrest. The Threelands are ripe with ancient loot, I am certain you could pay me back in full after some busywork. Otherwise, enjoy fumbling about and wasting your precious resources, ha!"


>Take a loan and hire a navigator
>Refuse, blindly walk into unknown territory (pick direction)
>Attack Verdou
>Leave Rosimato's Threelands for now (pick direction)
>Write in?

Ah fuck, this is what we get for our petty revenge
>>6057544
>Take a loan and hire a navigator
2100 macca, surely we can make that

>>6057725

"A fine investment, that." Clapped the rich masked man " Here take this, Invera is all yours. I will be waiting by the exit for my Macca." He gave you a normal looking copper ring before vanishing in thin air. Once you put on the ring, an ethereal woman enshrouded by green mist had manifested out of the ring.

" Greetings, master. I am Invera, I shall aid you in this hostile world." Her soothing voice had a hint of sadness to it "I will give you the lay of the land..."

You learned plenty from your ghastly navigator. You organized your thoughts one by one which were:

-Three tribes were : The Abysseaters led by Baphomet, The Colourless Shades led by Anahita and The Purifiers led by Dis.
-All three tribes are distrustful of outsiders, will attack on sight If they saw a demon of an opposing ideology so it would for the best to either go solo or have demon allies of the same alignment.
-Blocked nodes require a special key either looted from a powerful tribesmen or unlocked by an allied tribesmen
-Once you became hostile with any tribesman, the entire tribe would try to kill you.
-Your goal is to either kill two of three boss nodes in the area or find a way to unify the three tribes.
-You could leave your demons at the exit if you want to go solo

>Ask Invera a question

"What am I?" the woman was befuddled by your question "I am a Navigator, forever cursed to guide lost souls. My soul was bound to this ring on the day of the godless eclipse when I first died. It is my anchor... true death awaits Navigator upon the destructionof their anchor. ." You didn't question her any further moving on to the south where you had found yourself in a maze of ruined warehouses with a certain tribal flourish to them. You felt somehow vulnerable around here for any corner could have an ambush waiting for you.

What should you do?


Choose one
>Exhaust yourself and Caith Sith while trying to crack open several sealed containers left unpried by the locals
>Have Pixie forage for possible Umasut grapes
>Have Caith Sith sniff out risk-free treasures that might be buried or hidden in hard-to-reach crevices.
>Allow Invera to sit down and focus. Your Navigator had a long way to fully reveal the map.
>Move on, you don't like it here
>Sit down and chat with one of your party members (who?)

" Meorrw, I smell something!" The puss-in-boots had led you to a dead end. You were about to dismiss him and his golden nose until he had unearthed something shiny from a pile of trash.

You had found One hundred and fifty Macca and an antique coin

" What’s this? Doesn't look edible." Your Pixie sniffed the strange coin, It did feel slightly important though. You had decided to keep it in your pocket for the time being.

"Do you think we should mess around here a bit more or leave?" It was a good question from Cait Sith.

"Master, the war zone is highly volatile, its location could change at any given moment. "

" A bus stop, here?" Your fairy companion was just as confused as you were. This one was actually a chalk drawing with tribal interpretation of Joesphine's twisted steed. It projected glowing light when you had approached eventually calling out the woman from another world.

"We meet again. I see you have yourself a new navigator. A feeble one not worthy of your time. Tell me, girl. Do you seek true death?" /b]

"Yes....no, I must serve my Master." Invera shook her head. She was ashamed of airing her suicidal thoughts like so.

" Give me her anchor, Devourer of Demons. I shall grant her peace and in return, I shall birth you a new powerful demon. ." A ever-shifting hand had extended before you waiting for that ring. You mentioned your inability to transverse the land properly without her help.

"Oh? The one called Leshen had caught a navigator, you can return and save her...if her anchor wasn't destroyed. Too lazy to go back there? I suppose I can be your navigator in the meantime. Know that I will not protect you or your allies from the cold grasp of death..."

>Give her the ring (take powerful demon or temporary powerful navigator instead?)
>Do not.

AND

" Thank you, Master. Alas, I can rest..." Nodded the green ghost when you had offered her anchor to Josephine. Once she had absorbed the ring inside the palm of her hands, Invera was gone with the wind. No trace of her was left in this world.

"Your reward, Devourer of Demons. Please, avert your eyes from my gate of damnation lest you go mad." The pulsating mass of flesh that was the bus driver had turned around as she would disrobe slowly. Her back was a churning sea of demons, all were screaming in utter silence. The manifestion of horror beyond your comprehension would spread her legs on the ground. You had adhered to her word of caution refusing to stare at anything else other than her back.

Your demons had cowered behind you the moment they heard the sound of flopping flesh and broken bones accompanied by guttural wails. When she said that she would give birth to a new demon in exchange for the ring, you never thought that she was literally going to do it. Regardless, a demon did crawl out of her warmth... one that did not belong to this world either.

"Let's bathe in the blood of our enemies. Don't deny me the pleasure, partner." Your Doppelganger [Otherworldly, Chaos, Physical role+4] had stared at you intently before splitting his head in half for a slimy long tongue and a pair of jagged teeth to appear amidst its rotten flesh " No place for me... you wound meee, my tamer self. Hungrryyyyy."

"M-meorrow, this is not good!"

"Let's get out of here! This thing wants to chomp our heads clean off!" Pixie was shivering behind your back.

"Make a choice or I will shall return your rotten replica to my flesh." After covering herself, Joesphine said those words in a frustrated manner.

>Go with the original plan, Fuse the two demons together
>Leave this abomination. You would endure hardship with your demons instead.
>Feed your Doppelganger one or more of your demons

"What?! No! DON'T DO THIS TO ME!!!!"

"MMMMEEEOORRRRWW!!!!" Two fleshy tentacles had sprouted from Joesphine's chest dragging the two demons into her mishmash of a body. Once again, you heard the sound of flesh and sinew getting stripped away from shattered bones until a more uniform mass could be seen in her midsection.

"Their new form shall serve you well..." Someone covered in black goo was crawling out her throat... your new demon.


"Hey you! Don't make me scream, okay?" A Mandrake [Yoma, Law, Magic role] had greeted you innocently, she was unaware of what become of her original counterparts.

"Aaahh, more space for me. Lead the way, partner." You Doppelganger had smacked your rear playfully earning him at puzzled look " What? Aren't partners supposed to act like this? Aaaah, I get. Do you want to be accompanied by a woman instead ? I care little about my shape as long as I spread carnage and death wherever I go."

>"Yes, please!"
>"No, you are a comrade and a partner to me."
>"Do whatever you want, It wouldn't matter, you are yet another demon to be fused down the line..."

And

"Meh, suit yourself. I tend to be pretty aggressive so let's go and find someone to kill." shrugged your Doppleganger.

"Get inside, everyone. Don't stick your...anything in any hole inside. My steed will chomp it clean off." You felt like you were stepping inside the rancid bowels of a rotten carcass. It was time to go.

Don't know how to say this but I am extremely busy even for my daily 10-30 mins session. I don't want to flake but at the same time I literally don't have time for any of my hobbies because of my work and real life. What do you guys think? Technically speaking, I can go for an update once every three to five days but that will most definitely kill the pace. I am at loss here.

>>6064590
i don't really have trouble following quests that slow, and I can't really advice you on anything except do what you are comfortable with, and if you gotta leave to do your business than that's what you do. the board will still be here when you are ready
