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 .

The first floor of Lust's Labyrinth was filled to the brim with all sorts of deviancy and degeneracy. Thankfully, you are almost done with it.

Thank you anon, as he had said, I can't post pics so I had to rely on him to start the thread.

This new persona...it is like a new form of power growing inside you. Not gonna lie, It feels great. Will this even the odds a little against Lust?

"Remind me again: why can't you have more than one persona, Maq?" This question popped in your head.

" My-Our persona is bound to me. As for you, you can discard and acquire new ones. Only the son of twelve can accomplish such feat." She replied.

Oh yeah, the whole Maq-Mouten thing. She is unique too in a way. Before you could say anything, the ground began to melt beneath your feet. You were slowly starting to sink into the unknown.

"W-what is happening?"

"Ugh." Maq wasn't puzzled at all, instead, her brows were drawn together into a frown "You'll see."

______________________________

VELVET WORKSHOP

_______________________________

"TADA! " Huh, looks like White had cleaned the place, it looks like a proper workshop now with several heavy machinery clogged up with some sort of red crystals. No more trash heaps lying about

" I missed YOU!" Several rubbery hands sprouted from its chest they kept poking you both. Maq had none of that taur yanking that poor rabbit towards her for a searing slap.

" Don't ever do that again. Ever." She crossed her arms as the anthropomorphic shadow curled up into a ball bouncing away "I am SAD, I missed YOU and YOU."

>Look, Me and Maq are this close to finish that first floor so you better have a good reason for your shenanigans.
>Yeah, sorry about not paying a visit...
>She is right, you scared me. Thought you were lust or something
>Maq, Say sorry.

"SOUNDS COOL, I got something more Cooler? Cooly? EXTRA COOL! You got a new persona which means..." A miniature percussion band of him started drumming for suspense "GRINDING TIME!"

"Huh?"

"Ugh, Have you forgotten already?" Maq had none of it right now. She looked pretty exhausted too.

"Forgot WHAT?" Either you have serious short term memory issues or they are doing it on purpose.

TUTORIAL No.45
「 GRINDING PERSONAS」

-An integral part of purging sins is to have stronger personas. One of such means is to grind persona, merging two personas into one.
-The two grinded personas must have different moons, otherwise, the grinding will be a failure.
-The new persona gains the average LVL of the two other persona, inheriting one skill for each.
-For maximum optimization and better bonuses, match the grinded persona with the two moons in the current lunar convergence. Example: Persona 1 (keter) + persona 2 (satha) while under keter/satha moon= best possible outcome!

____________________

"WHAT? NO WAY MAN, I am NEVER gonna put MY persona to the grinder! NEVER!" You opposed the idea from the start.

At this very moment, Melchiades materialized in front you, he gave you a nod of approval pointing at this gritty machine. Not a single word from him as always. Damn, does it really have to be this way.

" FRIEND: Nooo worry! I will have ALL personas you got in the compendium! You want him again? You BUY him with makka!" White pulled out a list from his left ear....looks pretty empty to you. Wait, you spotted two names in the list....

-Melchiades [LVL 7] 53 Makka
-Tesdeon [LVL 6] 47 Makka
Current Moon is :HESED/ NETZA

>Alright...do it [GRIND Melchiades (BINAH) with Tesdeon (HOKH) + Select 2 moves for the new persona to inherit]
>Nah,nah,nah. Mel is my boy. He will be always with me.
>>
>>4485038
>>4485041
>>4485046
Heck
>>
>>4485046
>>Alright...do it [GRIND Melchiades (BINAH) with Tesdeon (HOKH) + Select 2 moves for the new persona to inherit]

Alright fellas, the only good move Tesdeon has is Charge, wich doubles phys for next attack. We still got that Rou shard so Rou doesn´t look very appealing right now. It´s either Kouha (holy damage) or our status cleansing thing.
>>
>>4485046
>>Alright...do it [GRIND Melchiades (BINAH) with Tesdeon (HOKH) + Select 2 moves for the new persona to inherit]

>Charge

>>
>>4485065

>>
>>4485067
>[Lucky Get!] Flagellate [2] [3] [30% hp, Remove All negative status effects from 1 ally, give them ++ defense for 3 turns]

Kinda feels like this is the right choice. Status effects are very unforgiving. Having the option to remove them at will is very important
>>
>>4485069
>>4485062
So my vote:
>Charge
>Flagellate
>>
>>4485070
Changing to this
>>
>>4485069
Wait I forgot. QM said that TIME cost was 2.
>>
>>4485065
>>4485070
>>4485073
no time cost, it was a typo from my end. It costs hp instead. So it should be:

>[Lucky Get!] Flagellate [2] [30% hp, Remove All negative status effects from 1 ally, give them ++ defense for 3 turns]
>>
>>4485046
>Nah,nah,nah. Mel is my boy. He will be always with me.
This seems like a trap by QM. Tesdeon's skills seem like garbage and don't have synergy at all with Mel. Neither moon aligns, and losing skills on Mel seems like way too high of a cost for what will possibly be a worse outcome.

"IN YOU GO!! HAHA BYE SQUISHY!" White was quite sadistic when he crammed your personas into the grinder. You almost looked the other way but your morbid curiosity got the best of you...

~A new Persona is born!~
「 I will be always watching...」
Koog-Malu [Wrathful eyes] [LEVEL 6 ] [KETER]

Background

-A fishing myth born in the eastern contient, Koog-Malu roughly translates to 'Eyes of the future' in orcish language. These supposed sightings of a group of disembodied eyes were an omen, whenever a fisherman sees it, he must not set sail in the open water ever again. These spirits are a manifestation for all drowned orcs warning those who might meet the same fate.

+++ Tecig

"Come again!" You wish you had his unending optimism. Maq was enthralled by a cutesy Kit mascot on some frozen shrimp packet, this girl is weird sometimes...you will meet her back in the dorm. Once you left his store, someone was waiting for you.

Kaz.

He was nothing like the well-behaved , self-confident elf you know. Even though Koris is half buried in snow, he wore a simple white shirt, drenched in sweat while his once long and smooth hair was a curly, matted mess. His right hand was slightly shaking as he held it firmly with his other hand. Words barely escaped his cold lips.

" Johann, we need to talk...privately."

>How did you find where I live?
>You look like shit...should I call the police? did someone rob you?
>[Take off your jacket, give it to him.]

"Johann, I need some of your paper currency-...!" Maq dropped her Kit shrimp packet upon seeing Kaz " Do... I know you?"

"What? No, I don't believe we have m-ArrrrrGGHH!" Just like that, he collapsed on the snow.

Tecig actually came out of the store since Maq technically didn't pay for the shrimp packet. "Wow, what is happening here?"

"Nothing S-sir," Kaz struggled to stand up "I apologize for any commotion that I might have caused. Here.." He regained some of his composure as he paid for the shrimp.

"You sure you don't want some help or a blanket?"

"I am exceptionally fine, sir. My fencing practice today was on the rough side. That is all."

"If you say so..."

____________________________________________________________

"Hey! Wanna hear a jok-" The Liarfish stopped moving once it saw Kaz following you inside the garage. Thank goodness. No more lousy fish puns.

"Mind tell me what the hell is going on?? " The suspense was killing you, he was looking progressively worse every time you saw him in the last couple of weeks.

"I want you to be perfectly... honest with me. Do you remember the first day we met each other? You went to the bathroom that day."

"Getting a lil creepy and/or stalkery, Kaz."

"Shut up and listen." He bared his teeth at you, quite a feat for someone so weak at the moment. "You mysteriously vanished in the stall as if the toilet swallowed you whole. I saw it, I saw the little moon sign you left... this damn curse. My head, my condition... it got worse because of what you have done to me."

"W-what? " Oh crapcrapcrapcrap " Dude, You are flipping out! Calm down!"
>>
>>4485351

"Am I? AM I? " He pushed you hard against the wall twisting your arm "Don't play coy with me. I endured my condition my whole life... these hallucinations are NOTHING like what I have experienced before. Tell me the truth, TELL ME! Did you or did you not vanish in the stall?

You can feel his strength waning, he can't hold you much longer...

>KAZ, Kaz, listen to me...you need HELP, Professional help!
>Get off my man! [Strength 1]
>I am not telling you shit!
>Wanna see some real shit? [USE BROKEN VEIL ON KAZ , USES LEFT: 1]

>>
>>4485353
>>Yes! Yes! It was real, allll of it! You are not crazy...I am sorry, I-i was careless [Starting the BIG explain] [write in for this choice only!]

>When I came to Cairth, I discovered this strange...,world . It’s a apocalyptic world full of dangerous creatures , and a bleeding moon. Me and a friend are trying to bring an end to that serial killer through that world. I’m sorry for hiding this from you.
>>
>>4485353
>Yes! Yes! It was real, allll of it! You are not crazy...I am sorry, I-i was careless [Starting the BIG explain] [write in for this choice only!]

>I'm going to be absolutely honest with you. Whether you believe me or not is up to you. There is a spiritual world that is tied to the moons and to moondust. I sometimes saw hallucination like visions of it when waking as well, but they have subsided since I got my moondust shot. When I disappeared in that stall, it was, and I stress you're not going to believe me, me entering that world. For lack of a better term. I could show it to you directly, but it is too great of a risk until we know each other better.
>Let me stress that telling others about this will result in them at best not believing you, and is reckless at worst. I am only telling you this because this has clearly brought you undue harm, and the honorable thing to do would be to explain this all...

I'm really not sure about this and would like input before we pull the trigger. This is a big deal, since it would mark the first time we've brought an "outsider" into the fold. And I'm not sure how Kaz will react, even though I really want to be frank with him...
>>
>>4485392
>>4485405

Kaz started to loosen up a bit right after " So, mental faculties are mostly intact. The many eyed moon staring at us from above as if we are some petty creature to it.... is it related to this spiritual apocalyptic world you speak of?"

"Kinda, It is a long story, like reaaaallly long."

"I...see... There are a couple of explanations to this affliction I am suffering from. One: The two of us are ravening madmen , I somehow got caught in your circle of insanity... a field experiment done by whoever."

"Come on man, Not like that!"

"Let me finish," He had it with you interrupting him "Two: The two of us had somehow experienced these fabled worlds outside of our dimension. A single word of this and we will never see the light of day, we will be lab rats for a band of jesters in white coats akin to those Lunis fellows."

This makes sense, creepy Luno-astrologists subjecting you to horrible experiments that will make the big pharma looks like an innocent kitten in comparison. You can see that."What now?"

"One way or another, you gained an access to this bizarre world you speak of. To cure my affliction, I must accompany you to shred any doubt in my mind. If our encounter had sparked it, it may be as well the cure that I sorely need.."

" I-i can't , It is too dangerous and..."

"Johann, look at my eyes. I am dying, these hallucinations are nibbling my mind. I hear whispers, I see shadows behind every corner. I am only getting worse... Perhaps you did not intentionally started all of this but you can end it. You can save me."

"..." For once, you didn't know what to say.

"You do not trust me enough? Fair point." He stole from those words your mouth " I had little trust in you when we first me but everyone is prone to change. Let me tell you a secret of mine: I was born without our special gland. I am a statistical impossibility."

>No way, Kaz.
>Why are you telling me this? You think I will suddenly change my mind or something? I can't do it. Sorry.
>Good for you, so what?
>Well shit, I heard all kind of moonshot doesn't work on elves like at all. How did you survived all these years? how are you not in a wheel chair or in an ICU or something?

" Understood." Strange, you expected him to be all fussy about the jacket buuut He is too weak to care for his pride. You opened the garage door, staying with him until he called a taxi. Are you a magnet for bad shit to happen to other people? Maq, Red, Kaz... who is next?

This was a very risky decision you just took but it was clearly your fault. You dragged Kaz into the whole Moonworlding because you weren't cautious enough. You promised yourself never to let this happen again.

The White Stag still wore those flip-flops outside despite the snow covering all of Koris. She didn't give a single damn while huffing and puffing her hookah. Horrace on the other hand was checking on the merchandise ; several spices had high demand this season apparently.

"Evening, Miss Stag."

"What do you want, boy? Can't you see I am busy?" More mango-scented in the air, It smelled kinda sweet actually.

"But...you are watching the street..."

"Exactly."

" He is not dead yet if that is what you are asking." You didn't bring up how cruel she was with him yesterday for obvious reasons. You still don't fully understand Miss Stag; She proclaims to be the protector of the weak and yet she almost let one of her own die a slow , painful death. Keep your mouth shut, Johann. This is how things work around here.

" Any job for me, Miss Stag?"

"No, get back to Yuny- you know what? I got something for you. Horace, We are leaving!"

"An old friend of mine, She was the first one to welcome me in this Gyaghole. Her diner got attacked by a group of elven supremacists a few days ago. The call themselves 'The Six Swords'. I ignored the little squirts for too long....it is time to deal with them once and for all."

Miss Stag laughed for a solid minute at you had just said "...ho...ho, boy, I brought you with me to wash the dishes."

"WHAT?!!"

"I have my share of testosterone-filled meat heads ready to pummel down anyone I point my finger at. Horace, Red and many more. "

"But you sai-"

"I said grow some meat on you first. You are representing me. I can't have a weak link in the mix."

What a bummer, well, It is what it is. Washing dishing should not be too too bad and it is a relatively safe job compared to other gang-related ones.

___________________________

"We are here." The diner was near Ella's apparently. The 'Turquoise Tortoise' it was called. You actually pass by it everyday when you take the bus. There were signs of vandalism all over the place ; shattered windows, racial slurs graffiti and much more. It was technically closed but it seems the owner opened it just for Miss Stag.

As for the diner itself, It had this old school aesthetic. Lots of memories on the walls were either torn apart or got sprayed over. This made you very,very angry. You can't imagine how the owner is feeling right now.

"Lady White, you should not have..." The human was on the verge of tears when she saw the dryad coming through her busted door.

"Ssssh now, Can those keep the lights on? I got more..." She pulled a fat stack of pons from her...ahem, curling it up inside the owner's hand. The White Stag wasn't prepared for an emotional hug from that woman. She didn't like it but she allowed it nonetheless.

"What are you waiting for, boy? Those dishes inside aren't gonna wash themselves."

Time to put on the apron, duty calls.

Wow, the sink is literally FULL of filthy dishes AND it is clogged too! Where is the previous guy working in the diner? There is no way she could have run this place on her own.

Welp, It is on you now. At this rate, you will be a master-all cleaner/janitor. It is kind of ironic; you are trying to save the world in the moonworld and now you are cleaning several days old dish stain. Marvelous.

~Amidst the filth, you Empyreal eye caught something of worth~

A....knife? It is so sharp with a wooden handle and a black blade.This is specifically made to cut through certain types of monster flesh. We are talking about giant monsters ala the ones you would find in The Gungob fast food menu. You are quite tempted to take it...could be recycled into a badass weapon or something in the Velvet workshop.

"Did he now? I should cut his tongue. Yours too. " She was irritated with your question.

"I am sorry, Miss Stag, didn't mean to-"

"Better hear it from me than from someone else..."

There are several Crime Bosses according to Miss Stag. Each district has roughly one or two crime boss in control. They are:

KORIS

-Miss Stag [The White Stag] [Drugs] : The 'Hero of Koris' . She tries to regulate drugs across Koris and to some extent Cairth as a whole shutting down other sprouting drug businesses. Despite her ruthlessness AND being a new comer, She is the protector of the weak, many come to her first instead of the police.

-Vartel [The Family/MASSU] [Smuggling, Loansharking, Blackmailing]: This smooth talking orc is self made man, forging a criminal empire of mostly orcs and other same-minded individuals. His 'code' of work makes him rather unique among others. He never plays dirty, always bound by his code gaining both respect and fear from everyone around him.

SANADA

Underdon [The Don] [Prostitution, Kidnapping, Organ harvesting, Child trafficking, Slavery] : The most disgusting and degenerate of all crime bosses. He basically owns all of the underground district unrivaled by the police, the judges or the council. If he want you, he WILL have you. There is no escape from his filthy hands. His Ivory Palace is a mining head quarters turned into a cesspool of deviancy where everything is allowed.

MIDEN

Ranzah [ The Wet] [ Fencing, Bribery, Forgery , Money Laundry, Blood Farming ] : This Arachni had a strange grip on Cairth's industrial district, also known as the 'Red Wave' among the people of Midden. She is an antiquarian by heart, hoarding dozens of artifacts in her cruise ship and home of operations 'The Aegis'. She actually considers her work as a hobby, nearly all of her gang are master forgers. Everyone eventually comes to her sooner or later . Finally, She believes in the right of her people to drink elfoid blood, as such, she runs the biggest Blood farming operation in the whole contient.

1/2
>>
GABIEL

The Korogarawa Family [ The Electric Alligators] [Illegal gambling, blood sport , Racketeering ] Much like Miss Stag, The Korogarawa Family are a bunch of Kits who came from the east firmly establishing their role in Gabiel as the bloody entertainers of Cairth. They don't get involved a lot in the current feud between the other two crime gangs in Gabiel. These elves get to be the middle man in a lot of inter-gang deals, however.

The Minixeth Family [The 77 Franchise] [ Eclipse-Web, Hacking , Illegal fetish quality production, Pontaur rigging] One of the three families in Gabiel, they are the definition of falling from grace, they used to own ALL of Gabiel AND Espara until more families and gangs started to pop up. Still, the younger generation is starting to branch out, seeking new avenues while trying to keep the business afloat. The Uzeberel family is their number one rival.

The Uzeberel Family [ The Uze] [ Pixie Farming, Illegal gambling, Racketeering, Drugs] A family of chemists and biologists turned into a criminal factory for potent pixie drugs. No one exactly knows how they triple or sometimes quadruple the potency. Their secret formula are sought by all sorts of mega corporations but they refused to sell out their brilliant ideas. Their other illegal business mainly fuel their chemical fascination with pixies. The White Stag is doing what she can to stop them but they always have a comeback. The Minixeth family is their number one rival.

ESPARA

The Phoenix 4.2 [ The Moonless Dawn] [ Cyber crime, Money siphoning ,Cyber Terrorism, Eclipse-Web ] The most mysterious gang of them all with so little information about them. Some say this is just a really advanced AI who got freed and started to commit terror attacks . They seem to take an intrest in hindering any research about Luno-Astrology. Their biggest crime was sabotaging the launch of unique rocket which could have theoretically made it to Satha and survived for 42 second.

HILEYEATH?

??? [???] Hileyeath is Cairth's Utopia. A paradise district for the elitist of elites. Even the White Stag doesn't know what is going on there. The right assumption here is that there are NO gangs in the best place in Cairth.

2/3
>>
OUTSKIRTS

Papa Eugen [ Silver Nomads] [Assassination. contract killing, arms trafficking] A bunch of free-road loving, old school bikers who have zero presence in Cairth itself. They are semi professional rag-tag groups of humans and orcs who only step into the city-state for a quick kill. A lot of them either wind getting arrested or killed but they somehow bounce back. One of them bastards managed to wound a Judge!

Uh-oh, looks like the higher ups in CPD are getting the boot. Of course the media is trying to sugar coat it portraying these assholes as 'Valiant heroes who served this city-state for years', yeah right.

Maq was waiting for you outside, she didn't look happy " Johann, We have a problem."

"What is it?" She pointed at Kaz who was checking his hand watch next to the sanctuary. He looked much, much better than yesterday.

"Oh, that? He is coming with us to the Moonworld." You replied casually.

"WHAT?" Maq almost lost it "What did you say to him?? ANSWER ME!"

I really hope we don´t Break the Veil on poor Kaz especially after we had that scene with Maq. I suggest we just enter the MW in front of him, so he can confirm he is not insane. Tell him that we will be out for around 8 hours.

>>4486966
Anyways, I though of an idea for the future Moonworld that might net us quite fruitful gains. You see when this Labyrinth collapses, it will take with it all the places, shadows and, most importantly, actors within. We have seen than a few actors, the non-skinless Mansluts, have a desire to survive (as shown by the fisherman) and congregate on Manslut Wharf.

We have seen that is both possible to exit the Labyrinth by people who are not us (the Director). We also have an ally that literally dropped us there through a wall (Paloa). I would say there is a very high chance Paloa might be able to open a passage for the actors to escape the Labyrinth. The actors are defined as self-aware byproducts of the labyrinth. This might or not mean they might be able to survive outside the Labyrinth, BUT fortunately for us, we know exactly a place that was hinted to was a Labyrinth in the past and had labyrinth-esque qualities: Ichw´s Rest.
>>
>>4487089
So have a growing population of rescued Moonworld actors in a safe place somewhere, mixed up from multiple dungeons and Labyrinths, plus a horde of looted supplies and salvaged shit from before we kill the bosses and collapse the Labyrinths? Reminds me of Colony 6 in Xenoblade, but maybe some other media too. Definittely an idea worth pursuing and bringing up in-character. If we're gonna do it we gotta do it fast though, before we take out Lust for good.

>>4487089
Now, what I would suggest:
1.Enter Moonwold (Darr-Damel) and spend TIME with Paloa to rank up our Celestial Bond. See if he thinks the plan I put forward here is possible or a product of a delirious mind
2. Go to the Manslut Wharf. Get to the highest point possible and start shouting at everyone for attention. Tell them the labyrinth is collapsing soon but we have a way to get them out and put them in Ichw´s Rest. We are gonna need payment, in equipment, Love Tokens or consumables though. Make sure someone warns the fisherman, he is a cool guy.
3. Get Paloa to open a tunnel or escort each Manslut out of the Labyrinth. If he asks for payment to power up the tunnel or play escort, give him a Beaded Makka from the Salty Siren. Frankly, I doubt we will ever get as big as a payout for that as something an entire village of actors could provide.

Then just go complete the Self pleasure or whatever. QM, when we complete a floor, does it get erased or does it disappear only when we destroy the Boss of the whole Labyrinth?
>>
>>4487099
nice dubs Yeah, we really need to put pull it as fast as possible. I put forward a how to do it here>>4487100
tl;dr: MW (Darr-damel), Rank up (Paloa), Go to Wharf, Negotiate with Mansluts (possibly spend Beaded Makka), go on with the Labyrinth
>>
>>4487100
I think the plan of trying to evacuate everyone on this particular floor of the labyrinth is definitely on the delirious mind side of things. We would burn a bunch of TIME, we have no way of knowing if that's how the Moonworld works, we aren't guaranteed to get any benefit, and it's all based on conjecture. It could theoretically work, but I believe it's too much of a longshot. I think we should really just focus on Kaz's situation and finishing the Lab, ideally at MAX if we can manage it.
>>
>>4487662
It is not about evacuating the lab. Just the Manslut Wharf and it would basically be Paloa doing it for us. We would just have to check with him if it is feasible, go to the Wharf and make the announcement.I believe most of the TIME would be spend going to the Wharf. Besides, think that we get there might net us TIME(Certain consumables, for example).
>>
>>4487100
when we destroy de boss, ALL OF LAB will get fooked
>>
>>4487668
I do want to visit Paloa first, but for the reason that it might be the best way to "ease" Kaz into Moonworld stuff. The scenario is overall very crazy for him, and going straight into a dungeon might fuck with his head past the breaking point. I guess we might as well ask Paloa about the evacuation plan. I think it's nuts, but no harm in asking so why not

"So? What is a life's worth in the whole grand scheme of things? Nothing! You are putting me and you at risk by trusting him."

"Don't be like that, Maq. What did you expect me to do, huh? Just stand there and watch him die?"

"YES. What a rabid mortal creature you are, running by impulse...so shortsighted and blatantly stupid! Didn't you ever think about telling me beforehand? Such an important decision you took without ME!" At this point, your argument was starting to have a small audience.

To avoid their eyes, you took Maq to a more secluded part of the garden so you both could continue your talk " You are making a fuss out of nothing. Let's just g-"

"NO, I am not going without while he is with us. It is either ME or HIM. Have fun, Johann."

>Okay, okay fine...Let me talk to him first. It is gonna be hard convincing him that the whole moonworld is just a prank on my end.
>You know what? Fucking fine. I don't need you anyways. I can take on lust by self AND I won't let him die because of you.

"No, I will never talk to this vermin. He is a-" She stopped right in her tracks when a familiar shadow loomed over you.

"As much as I would love you to continue...shouldn't it be wiser to resume this delightful conversation elsewhere?" Kaz was standing behind you with a warm smile and a certain fencing bag.

"..." Maq was reluctant at first but she chose to follow you to the garage.

_____________________

The Liarfish remained silent when it say Kaz for the second time. Immediately afterwards, Maq pinned the elf to the wall, pressing her elbow to his throat "WHO SENT YOU? Is it RUIN? Answer me or I will snap your scrawny neck!"

>[Wrestle her away from Kaz] [Strength 1]
>[Big explain 2.0: Ruin in Form]
No reason not to tell him about RiF. He knows about the major stuff (probably has seen visions of RiF type stuff) and is obviously aware of the dangers of letting the information out into the wider world. Maybe if we can get him to pledge to defeating RiF, that will get Maq to calm her shit for 2 seconds
>>
>>4487815
Yeah, but Maq was angry because we explained things to him WITHOUT checking out with her. Repeating that patter is gonna make her bail on us. Please, consider what lead to this situation and try to avoid it.

>>4487801

>(to Kaz) Go wait outside.

We REALLY need some alone time with Maq to explain.

"GET OFF ME!" Despite her protest, you wrestled her away from Kaz.

"This is highly unnecessary, I have a silver belt in E.M.A. I was merely holding back because she is your friend...and it is very uncouth of me to hit a girl back."

"Girl? GIRL?? I WILL SCALP YOUR HEAD AND CHOKE YOU WITH YOUR OWN SILKY HAIR!!"

"Maq, enough. Kaz, go wait outside." The situation was getting out of hand realll fast.

" No." was his reply, He took several steps forward, bowing " Forgive me for my actions. Your paranoia is rightfully justified ; venturing to another word is quite the secret. Please, allow me..."

He gently grabbed her hand for a kiss " I am Kazeyrl Von Eztavaib III, born with a fatal defect that was....amplified when our mutual friend had teleported to this world you are speaking of..."

"Oh...oh." The raging tempest inside Maq's mind had subsided in flash. Well, that was unexpected. One day, you will understand what ticks her mood swings.

" I believe you owe me a solid explanation about this world we are about to enter." He leaned against the wall waiting for the torrent of words.

"How do you feel?" You immediately asked Kaz.

" I dealt with worse nightmares and hallucinations in my head. This is but another mental battle I have to triumph over." It took him a while to readjust himself to this new environment. Thankfully, no shadows/Mcfuckface had jumped on you.

"So this is the rampant imagination of a depraved, insecure bastard... This cosmic-scale burden must be shared with me. How selfish I was to think about my own sake when you two are fighting for us all."

"Kaz, It is not that simple to awaken your persona. This isn't some kind of tournament , We face certain death every time we enter the Moonworld." You gave him a grave reminder.

"I must agree, you are here for to cure your ailment." Maq added " Besides, What kind of prowess can you offer? All I see a mortal with a handheld sack."

" Ah, this is where you are wrong. I assumed danger would be aplenty in this world, hence, I brought my rapier. These beasts or shadows...whatever you call them. They will bleed. To honour your fallen sister and the body of the girl robbed of her future, To quench your thirst for revenge, To put an end to this maniac and finally...to secure the existence of this our world: I will lend you strength, my wits and my sword, by my disgraced ancestors, you will have them!" He assumed a heroic pose for some reason.

"Yeah... he does that all the time. I sometimes don't get half of what he is talking ab-"

>Upright Devil
Tyranny. Temptation. Unfair obligation. Slavery. Ignoring the destructive consequences of your actions. Overwhelming worldly power. A sign to question one's motives. Greed. Materialism. Views your own or of another imposed upon you that restrict your independence. Addiction. HOWEVER! Upright Devil by nature means permanence, negative or otherwise. When it comes to a commitment or partnership or marriage, the Upright Devil means it will stand the test of time.

dont saw that anime, but it looks like our Elf here.

>>4488059
Yeah, The devil card is about "me". But "me" its important too.
>>
>>4488061
That said, "me" is about him. He must fill his needs, and if his needs is ours too, he will be a awesome conrade.

>>4488060
Read the manga. The fucking anime stops right before the introduction of the best character. It is basically what Evangelion was to mecha, but applied to the shonen genre

"I imagined this 'celestial bond' to be something akin to comradeship.."

"It is literal, alright. Our fates are bound together now, like it or not."

"I see. I believe I will awaken this persona you speak of every soon. Such 'trigger' won't be much of a problem."

"How so?" Maq was a bit skeptical about his confidence.

"You will see her in a few. She stood by me my whole life, Materializing her should be easy enough for me, hypothetically speaking."

"No way, Maq awakened hers when I was about to bite the dust." It is true.

"So reckless and unprofessional..." disdain was clearly drawn on his face " No, I will awaken her here and now."

Luno's Digest: Moondust , Part I [Luno-Astrology] [X] [X] [X], Book is finished!
+++ Study

SATHA: The Golden moon, the center of all Lunar worship. It is only exclusive to elves and as such, it was the first moon to be thoroughly studied. It is in a way, the founding moon of Luno-Astrology. The Striking feature of said moon is its golden rays of light which almost resemble the sun itself! Furthermore, it is the only moon which hasn't been in any recorded Sol-Lunar eclipse. HOWEVER, It CAN form an eclipse with OTHER moons. This rare phenomenon is called Vindivathel or Moon swallowed in gold. It is commonly referred as the golden eclipse.

Most Common Satha Moondust
Blissdust: All elves are washed over by a sense of happiness and jubilation , their gland might glow in the dark.

Rarest Satha Moondust
Ageldust: Literal gold rains down from the skies, crashes the economy every time. Most banks had the right to cultivate it straight from the skies via giant tanker-like planes.

Funsies: There is an actual river on Satha. It might be the source of Ageldust rather than the grounded moon itself!

I still think 10 TIME is a fair trade for what usually costs 1 ACTION Especially as we have extra time from having two party members. And again I think we should teacher her everyday social norms and etiquette so she is less likely to cause a scene or draw attention.

"Wanna talk about how aggressive you were with me and Kaz?"

"..." She looked the other way with a hint of regret on her face " You wronged me too, you know."

"I did and I am sorry for leaving you out of the equation. Maq, you have to control yourself. The real world isn't some slaughter grounds. You can't just do that. You know Miss Yuni, Elenna and me will do our damnest to get you out of trouble but in the end the three of us can't beat the law....what will happen if you went crazy on a police officer?"

" You don't understand, Johann. I-" In a fraction of a second, She drew her Katana "We'll talk later, We got company. I knew we shouldn't have lingered here for too long!"

-20 HP TO ALL COMBATANTS!

The ground behind you was swallowed in a swathe of darkness. This well of sizzling abyss was this close to melt off your face if you didn't move away.

"KAZ!" You cried, Did those stupid shadows get him? Was it Mcfuckface?

"Allow me," the scorched ground had drained the burning abyss mere moments later leaving only a sinister silhouette.

It was Kaz.

"A P-persona?!!! What the..?"

"T-this is impossible!" Even Maq stuttered "How could yo-"

"Asatath is a product of my imagination ever since I was a little child, She was everything to me. This was no real awakening...She was already there." Kaz drew his rapier, still dripping with the sizzling abyss " Perhaps you two should take a brief respite while I deal with these two miscreants?"

________________

KAZ

-A crit / sin damage dealer who heavily relies on exploiting weaknesses and controlling the battlefield, sapping the strength from both his allies and enemies in the process.
-MOST of his skills/spells uses his MAX HP instead of TIME or hp%. It is reset once you moon out.
-TIME can be used to regain some of his MAX HP back OUTSIDE of combat.
-DOMINANCE is gained each turn regardless of his action which can be used for unique attacks. It persists throughout the whole moonworld visit.
-DOMINANCE is however very dangerous, the more it is stacked, the weaker the party will get. This does not harm Kaz.

You found yourselves walking on fresh grass instead of flesh and concrete " Have we exited the degenerate's domain? " Kaz asked calmly.

"No, not yet. This is an undistorted manifestation of the labyrinth's owner. A cherished memory, It would be wise for us not to disturb it too much." Maq gave a brief explanation.

It was...oddly peaceful in this seemingly endless field of green. In the middle of it, a crumbled ruin barely Standing on its last stones. All manner of weapons were planted firmly around the structure, most of them were claimed by flowers and vines. Few were left unscathed by the elements.

The shrine itself was mostly empty on the inside. Only a headless marble statue of a child stood there against the test of time. It wore a sweet ass golden armour, that thing was painfully shiny to the point that you couldn't look at it for more than three seconds.

Something was written below its feet " Sometimes, Peace is purchased with swords and Violence is purchased with words. Cast your fangs or Cast your shell away .." the rest was unreadable.

"Is it me or does the statue lack a weapon? The left hand used to hold something. " Kaz made a remark.

There were like A LOT of weapons as previously mentioned, however, some stood out more than the others. Several had their names written on the ground strangely enough , they were:

The Moonbreaker: A golden sword with a glowing blue orb embedded inside it.

Prophet's Hand: A hook arm wrapped by holy texts

The Giantslayer: A spear made out of Obsidian, looks very heavy.

Hiltless: A sinister Katana , dark whispers seeps from it.

This >>4489511 but also resist the urge to clean up this mess.

P2 had Maya Amano, a fucking 6-year old girl in the body of a 23-year old Japanese gremlin who has extremely gropeable heart-tits, lives in a pig-sty apartment, subsists ONLY on ramen and canned crab meat, autistically carries around a dumb bunny toy her dead war photographer father gave her, and dies in the climax of a shitty trainwreck plot that makes barely any sense.
P3 had Nozomi Suemitsu, a fat gourmet guy who literally won't stop eating to save his life, feels bad about people always comparing him to his fraternal twin brother (who was the complete opposite of him yet still loved him, and eventually died of food poisoning) joined a dumb cult to make himself feel better, has a revelation that makes him decide to be his own person and not emulate his brother, and then goes on to become a successful food critic and author.
P4 has Ai Ebihara, an unstoppable unrepentant bitch that's shy and loving inside, attempts suicide upon being rejected by a guy she loves (which traumatized her before and made her the way she is, to be an ideal girl people will want to be with despite still being a bitch), realizes that all she wanted was attention and admiration, and that she was just in love with the idea of loving someone, abandons being a bitch and promises to respect others' views and learn about her flaws from them.
P5 has Yuuki Mishima, who DOES IT FOR FREE FOR THE PHANTOM THIEVES PHANSITE, but willingly changes his own heart and helps out in the final boss fight (or Floral Pants Man helps instead if you don't have him maxed), and is the boy most /v/ users probably are like.

"Hmmm, Childhood memories are often the brighest...the most innocent of all of our memories. We have a child's statue afterall. If I was a child...what weapon should I chose?"

"I agree with Kaz. Johann, I don't see anything related to the sea which makes this enigma harder than the previous ones. 'Peace is purchased with swords and Violence is purchased with words...Cast your fangs or Cast your shell away'. I see contradictions here ...hmmm."

>>4489584
Once you pulled the weapon, the peaceful green around you has turned into a desolate yellow; a desert by the sea "D-did I do something wrong?"

"I don't think so, remember our previous trials? It was harsher and more punishing than a mere desert." Maq assured you.

" I think I hear something over there..." Kaz pointed beyond the hills. You could hear it too; the clash of swords, the cries of the dead " It appears you have chosen 'violence' according to the statue's decree. " He reminded you.

You returned the sword to the headless statue. It grabbed the moonbreaker firmly, extending its free hand "What now?"

"An offering, It is a shrine, remember? Don't ruin our only chance." Kaz was rather blunt on this one but he is right....you gotta choose something.

The headless statue crushed your offers before turning into dust revealing your rather...meager reward. The rest of the shrine was gone with the now fetid wind as well.

+20 Makka

"What? What?" The look on Kaz's face was a mixture of frustration, disappointment and a hint of disdain. Hey, you got something out of it , why the long faces?

"Shall we resume our journey? No use crying over .... wasted opportunities."

19/79 TIME

You wanted to see if you can walk on one of those gravity-defying twirling streets " Come on guys, whats wrong with having some fun?"

"Cease your infantile thoughts. " Kaz was the first to cut you off " We have a degenerate to purge." Before you know it, the fleshly street started to slither in the skies taking you with it.

"Woah woah! Hang onto something!" You doubt they could hear you with all of these rapid ascends and descends in the air. It had finally decided to settle down in a relatively isolated area, away from the constant moans of lust.

"Where are we?" asked Maq, still a bit dizzy.

"Dunno, Kaz, go and take a look."

" I am not your hound. " He spat back in a flash.

"Okay seesh... let's see. AHA! There is something glowing over there." You pointed at...a worm? It wasn't like Mcfuckface tentacles.

The three of you walked over to this bizarre worm "Johann, This isn't a worm, this a red rope...a rather thick one."

"No, It is sweet delicious Makka." Maq corrected you both " I miss its succulent taste. Curse this vessel for forcing me to consume mundane food!"

"Ours no-wha-?" You went to grab it before finding your left food stepping on air!

"I got you." Kaz save you from certain death as you were about to fall in a large hole in the labyrinth.

"A facade? Why would Lust hide such hole?"

"This hole isn't made by the owner of this domain....we might have a possible intruder." Concluded the elf. As for the rope, it was actually tied to an anchor of sorts leading down below this large hole. You could neither see or hear nothing when you looked down.

"Let's get down there!"

"Yes, let's descend into a bottomless pit without any means of protection and/or light. Surely this will end well for you two. "

"Don't be such a bummer, Kaz."

"If you want to waste your life away so easily then please, be my guest."

"This rope should not go into waste. I suggest we take and recycle it in the velvet workshop. Someone will have to brave this spiky anchor." That thing looks like it will hurt if someone tries to untie the knot.

"Why not just cut it?" You asked.

" We don't want to alert every single shadow nearby of this bounty of Makka"

Nothing but blackness awaited you even after you maxed out the brightness. It is truly a bottomless pit according to Kaz. Can this be the working of an intruder like the director? Or this is may be just a part of the labyrinth?

You didn't feel anything down there when you give it a few cautious tugs. Good, You had a feeling this rope was some kind of a bait. Time to pull this bad boy.

+Spelunking Makka

It took a while to bring the rest of the rope back to the surface. The thing was so long that you thought it was endless! Once you fix the recycler, you will gain loads of Makka. You simply can not wait soon enough.

A crawling horde of mutilated actors were drawn to your location. At first, you thought this is because of your bounty but the truth was something else; the hole itself was what they are after. With nary a thought, the skinless actors threw themselves into the abyss with a meaty smile on their faces. This was worrying to say the least; Who or what could drive them to throw their lives like that?

Too bad the place became too crowded to do anything else, the hordes never ceased to stop flocking here. It is for the best to leave.

On your way to your destination, there was a huge lump of flesh sprouting in the middle of the street. This one was hollowed out actually, it served another purpose: A motel of sorts, ran by several seductive mistresses

"Hey there pretty boys~" one them winged devilesses winked at you " You must be tried from all that fighting and walking...why don't you have a rest here, We will make it worth your while~"

"Apologies madam, Our task is of utmost importance. We can not linger." Even in the Moonworld , Kaz remain as polite as ever.

"Are you sure? The things we can do to your young and firm bodies..." One of them licked Kaz's cheeks seductively.

"Out of our way, filthy shadow!" Maq drew her katana. Kaz managed to calm her down once more.

"Save your energy for actual threat. Johann, these creatures of the dark may offer something useful for us. However, if they showed any sign of deceit , we will cut them down. Alternatively, we could simply move onwards."

"Got it." You turned to the shadow "What you got?" Before she could say anything, another shadow approached the party.

"Darling, do you remember me? You showed mercy the other day. My, my, my...you have grown so fast. It is high time return the favor.."

"Satisfied?"

"Yeah, thanks!" As you were leaving, you heard them giggling behind your back.

______________________

"Are we in the wrong spot?" There was literally nothing in this area, no fleshy streets or inappropriate moans...just silence.

"The Mermaid had lied to us, She will pay...dearly."

"Has she? " Kaz had his doubts " Why would she lie to you two? Why this place specifically? I suggest we explore the area further before reaching a proper conclusion."

"W-wait! I already said that last time and you went all iffy on me, what gives???"

"Though this task should solely belong to our navigator, I used the word 'We' unlike you who specifically ordered me to 'take a look'. I don't take well to commands...especially to those which are below my way of thinking."

"Ouch. " You had zero rebuttal. Why is he so cruel? Ah right, Elves.

The three of you kept searching until you found a book, worn out from being read hundreds of times. The cover was missing though, instead, a white paper was glued on the front making a poor replacement for the missing cover. A chicken scratch of a doodle was apparently the 'art cover' of said book. It was a large elfoid eating ships near a half destroyed dock. No title on the book, stranger.

~Your Empryeal eyes had caught something worthy of being added in your sanctuary ~

" A Sanctuary Boon? Bingo.." You tried to take the book but it was rooted to the ground by a smaller tentacle of lust. This tentacle had a lot of pulsating veins. Was the tentacle feeding the book or vice versa?

You had a feeling you could snatch the book right of this relatively weak tentacle, Maq stopped you at the right second "What's wrong?"

"What if this is the place we are seeking? This may be a refuge for all male actors around here."

"This could be the case, yes. If this was a refuge for the male actor, it must have some sort of a password to protect it from Lust's agents." Kaz expressed his opinion.

"Nice one, team." You kept pondering about what to do with this book...You tried to open it but the pages were almost glued to each other. Damn.

Nothing happened. Well that was anticlimactic "Uuuh, anyone wanna give a try?"

"The Last Koen? " said Kaz, the book remained the same " What a shame. I believed someone with such a rich vocabulary would be interested in the tale of this legendary fisherman."

This book was not fond of wrong answers, It sank more in the ground. You best get it right next time!

___________________________

All of the blood and flesh were gone, replaced by an equally brutal scene. This wharf enshrouded by morning fog, littered with dozens of Manslut corpses. Some of their corpses were washed up on the shore along dead rotten fish. The Sea itself was cold, still and silent with a giant horned creature partially hidden by the fog in the horizon. Such a menacing figure couldn't have possibly caused these deaths; all the warehouses and the buildings are mostly intact. No, someone else is responsible for this carnage....

"Do you hear that?" The fog briefly hid an echoing sound. It was not your typical moans of pleasure....no, it was of pain and helplessness. The rattling sound of chains , the scything sound of leather against flesh slithered under those cries. This strange place also appears to have a stray path leading to the wilderness where the fog is the thickest.

Right at the end of the wharf, a small figure in a yellow raincoat was seemingly crying by itself. It was surrounded by several drawings and crayons. its tiny voice was muffled by this chorus of pain .

"Careful Johann, for it could be the true killer of these actors. I suggest we dispose of it while we have the element of surprise." Suggested Kaz, rapier at hand.

"Really Kaz? It is just a kid...possibly?"

"The dead can't talk so we must assume the worst." He briefly examined some of them " Stab wounds, all below the waist...this fits our 'innocent' figure's height. I stand by my previous statement. We ought to slay it right now."

"Something tells me that time is not on our side." Said Maq while staring at the giant in the horizon " We should act swiftly."

-The menacing figure across the sea watches in silence.

-The menacing figure took two steps forward, the sea is tainted with its foul black blood. You could almost see most of its body from here.

The three of you took very cautious steps toward this unknown figure " There is no need to sneak up on me... I know you are here."

The figure turned around revealing a headless child with several knifes embedded in its chest, old dried blood staining this once perfectly rain coat. It wore an absurdly large boot which almost reach its knees.

"I thought this was my safe place..." It looked to the horned giant briefly " It used to bring me comfort. The Big whale had other plans for me..."

The headless one started to pick up its drawings "My pockets are empty, My body is ravaged. My soul is broken. I only have one thing left in me..."

-The menacing figure advances slowly but surely toward the wharf, the sea is fully tainted with the giant's blood.

The headless child chuckled, nothing but agony and dismay were left in its non-existent throat" I *am* Lust . Lust is me, I am the one who bears the pain. Lust only inflicts it upon others. A never-ending cycle of pain. Lust doesn't want to talk to me, Lust wants to forget about me and so I stayed here but the big whale...the big whale always finds us."

Maq was doing her best not to slice the raincoat child for what it had done. Same with Kaz. Lust sat on the wooden platform neatly organizing its drawings.

-The Horned giant figure stomps its way towards the wharf. The glass is cracking, The wooden structures are shaking with every step.

" Because It can no longer contain it. All the pain and suffering belongs to me, yes...me. I am a failure. I can't even die right. There is no justice in the stars, in the sea, in the moon....there is only us and the big whale. The only things Lust understands is pain. No one in the world will change that."

"I understand pain too, young one." Maq took a step forward " I lost my master, my sister... I can sometime feel my vessel at night crying for what she had lost."

The child shook its tiny hood " You had tasted happiness, you had your friends, you had memories to cling to...We had none."

"..." The child didn't object when you took them from it. An...island? seven harpoons blocking the sun and a crude version of himself stabbing some horned creature with his sword... Feels somehow relevant.

"Your time is nearly over. Soon, this refuge...this memory will be gone but I will still be here, trapped and helpless as always. Run as far as you can or die. This door will lead you to safety." One of the shaking buildings had a door made out of pure light. This has to be the right one.

"Hmf, clever of you to chain us with words while this monstrosity finishes us off. Johann, We can-no , we *must* kill it. Lust will be weakened with its death."

"This is very possible but...I have my doubts. We shouldn't kill it." said Maq while eyeing the incoming danger.

"My best friend...My only guardian against the horror we endured. The times we had must end.. I am sorry it had to be this way."

The boiling black sea revealed only a gargantuan head of someone rotten, someone so wicked that It made lust look like a saint. In a blink of an eye, it tore apart the horned giant swallowing colossal chunks in single gulps. Nothing but death came out of its icy blue eyes.

"What do you mean? " Maq was a bit puzzled.

"Our future allies...and our foes should address us with a proper name. Might I suggest one?"

"The thought never crossed my mind but uuuuh , sure?"

"Moonlit Hunters. We hunt sins in this bizarre world. Purgers is a bit heavy on the tongue. Your thoughts, Maq?"

" I am afraid I am not as creative as you two...I only know how to kill. I appreciate asking me first." This was a clear jab at you.

You were getting more and more uncomfortable with each step towards your pink destination. You briefly checked on your newest party member...how is he exceptionally fine with all of this? You remember how freaked out you were the first time. It was a mess and a half back then. You might have to talk to him later about it.

" There were are. I couldn't expect less from a profligate." Kaz crossed his arms while inspecting the spotted round base of your target.

"A what now?"

"Never mind. I see no roads around or any sort of entrance to this...building. Maq, the second floor should be below us, correct?"

"Yes," She nodded "We have explored every single spot this floor had to offer. This has to be it."

"Then, I supposed we have to carve a path of our own." Kaz summoned his persona using his very own life force to strike the fleshly base of this erotic structure. At first, nothing appear to have changed but then this structure began to pulsate violently releasing three hollowed tentacles , they kept flailing in the air until each one of them engulfed the party. It was impossible to get out of their way in time.

"MAQ, KAZ, YOU OKAY?" You can't believe this is happening. Is this the only legit way down below? You should have committed a massacre instead.

"I am fine." A faint voice on your right . Maq.

"Johann, Listen to me carefully..." Another on your left. That's Kaz alright " Do not attempt to touch or interact with the tentacle's walls. I fear it may absorb you..."

"What are you talking abo-GWAAAHHH!!" The very walls of your sticky tunnel had hundreds of half melted actors groaning in near silence , twitching in agony...some had lost their arms while others had no head in the first place. Only the 'floor' was relatively safe with only several spot of goopy actors here and there.

"We will group up at the top, Stay strong everyone!Do not fall to these temptations..." said Maq as loud as possible.

"Got It! Do you guys smell something?" Your senses were starting to get dull. Those actors were starting to get more and more....appealing.

The weaklings around you took another more appropriate form for their sorry state. Torn, flayed, shredded, minced and sliced...the blood, the sweet blood...it warbles and chirp in glee. You began to pant heavily; such a burning desire to return to your former self, to fully unleash the demon inside you. This feeling...You were aroused by the mere sight of warm blood. It is clouding your thoughts.

Still, not everything was drenched in blood calling for your blade...this vessel had its own desires manifested before you. Yes, The Lyst was responsible for this. Objects you do not understand were at full display, they called for you... or rather your meek vessel. Was it hate or gratitude you were feeling for it? Did this wall of flesh sheltered you from the world of Johann or perhaps it confined your true self? That you can not decide.

You want to stay here forever, your blood lust may never be satiated but you have more frail victims to last for a lifetime.

"Abranova, guide me...my soul is torn, my mind is at disarray. Tell me what needs to be done for I am at lost."

「 Why, indulge yourself in pleasure. Though I should warn you , my bewildered maker ,about something important. The path to true balance is hard, almost unachievable. One part of you will assume control.... It matters little to me, I will still serve dutifully and faithfully. You can not keep this charade forever. 」

Her words speaks volumes ; your vessel might be weak in flesh but it can control you like the moment you laughed from the boon's poor sense of humour. You must be careful what to say or what to do....it will matter in the end. Johann must not know about this, the bloody idiot will most likely try to do something about it. Ruin must be destroyed first.

The ill-fated temptations grow weak as time passes, the blood is drying and the corpses are withering away. Choose if you must or chastise yourselves .

What is this? Why is your body shrinking? You are regressing into a little, shriveling child! Your garments had changed too to fit your smaller size. A dress with a red fruit of sorts.

" Maq, sweetie, go play with your toys. Mommy will be back soon."

"Okay, Mommy, Love you!" What are you saying? Who are you talking to? Why do you have no control over your feet? Grrrgh, this is infuriating!

A small round table, a feast ? No, not enough meat. You are pouring a hot liquid into several cups to your non exist- Mr. Rex , Mr. Bubbles and Miss LoveShine.

STOP! STOP! Leav-" How is your money work, Mr. Rex?"

"Very busy! I am working with Daddy, all day and night for you, Maqqie. Daddy only wants the best for his little princess. You barely touched your tart, are you alright?"

"RRRrrgh.." Your tongue was about to betray you once more " Mommy says too much sugar is bad. Miss Loveshine, Can you bring us another movie next time?"

"Of course dearie but remember: when Mommy says that word, what we do?"

" Close eyes and ears! Mommy knows best!" Please, make it stop... " Mr.Bubbles, Are you going to...M-Mr Bubbles? You are scaring me."

This doll was a thing of nightmares with its hollow eyes piercing your soul , your seat was getting wetter and warmer..did you just....?

"There isn't enough needles in the world to punish you for what you have done."

>N-no, please leave me alone!

"Y-yes, I am sorry daddy. I-i thought-"

"Don't cry, my sweet princess. We will get you another one. Mr. Bubbles and I are going to have a serious conversation about this."

"REALLY? THANK YOU DADDY, YOU ARE THE BEST!!"

How could your vessel drive pleasure from such a nightmare? It is over, you will never speak of this painful accident to anyone. The temptations were almost gone, you could forge a path upwards if that is your wish.

You dived headfirst, smearing your skin with that divine fragrance. You were made to spill blood, rivers under your feet. No vessel could alter your true natur-

"TAKE HER DOWN! "

"Hmm?" Something is tickling your back, aaaah, it was their useless projectiles. They never learn, just a row of fresh meat queuing nicely for the slaughter.

The smell of death and destruction, the skies are burning, their formidable stone towers are collapsing. The end is nigh....brought by your brothers and sisters.

"WE WILL BUY YOU SOME TIME , JUST GO!"

"DAMN IT! EVAC IN FIVE, ALL CIVILIANS, FOLLOW ME!"

Delightful, the fear...the hopelessness. A new pleasure beyond belief.. What should you do? Massacre that poor wall of meat or Pursue the Shepard and her herd?

"Evon, Are you spying on me again?" He was, no matter how many time he tries, you could still spot him. You ignored their petty fire and vaulted over a great distance to reach him.

"I will always be enthralled by your haunting beauty, Mouten." said your 'brother'. What a weakling he was, hiding behind a mask, He shouldn't have tangled with Eplis like so.

"Your affection has no place in our master's grand plan." Your brother charged his mortal-like weapon claiming every single head of your preys in a single shot. Stealing your kills?? The audacity!

"Coward, Striking from afar. I should put you out of your misery for what you had done, worm. "

"Then who would follow every step of yours? Who would worship the very ground you walk on? Sister, please accept this as an apology..."

"Your flattering words wil-Oh...oh" What a fine present it was, A mortal with a bloated belly. Paloa said this is where mortals begin their lives...curled up and helpless inside.

"Perhaps you are not as useless as I thought. " You grinned, drawing your katana " Our Master should not know about my...fascination."

"Would I ever betray you, sister? My leave, I take." Evon vanished in the air, seeking another spot in this ruined city.

As for you...oh ho ho! This one is squirming and crying like the mortal she is "P-p-please don't kill me! "

"Tell me, how do you make this 'life' inside your flesh and I might give you a quick death!" Oh, right. You forgot...those mortals are so inept, of course she would not understand your tongue. Hmph, you tried...

>Consume this life inside her flesh. Does it taste like Makka?
>Carefully start to flay her layer by layer. You want the real prize inside.
>Strap her to your chest, watch the reaction of other mortals.
>All that crying and sobbing...it sores your mood, slice her to bits and be done with it.

A life extinguished with a single stomp, what about the other one? You gently peeled this lifeless flesh only to reach the sacred chamber of life. This...this...is very intriguing. Two separate lives, one relying on the other for sustenance . This one was incomplete , chained to the carcass of its maker. You left it .... unharmed? Why would you spare such an insignificant creature? No matter, you must find other bloated bellies to study.

" Maaaaaaq, Kaaaazzzz, you there?" Holy Moon, you somehow managed to escape this tentacle rollercoaster, the things you have seen....you were sure you would wind up as another half melted actor . There was this elevator (more of a cage really) waiting for you in the top. How convenient.

Kaz was the first to show up, He pretty much was the same " Heyyy! How was it?"

"I would rather not talk about it."

>Come onnnn, you can tell me. It will be our secret.

"Nothing to apologize for; Lust was exploiting our primal instincts against us... I dare say we passed such trial with flying colours."

"Yeah, I am worried about Maq though." Just as you said so, Maq appear at the end the sticky tunnel.

"Maq! You okay?" She was beyond exhausted, almost collapsing on the floor. You caught her right away "What happened ?"

"If I may, Our friend had taken a path for two. Two pleasuring trials , two extreme personalities: A timid and a ferocious one. We can either rest a bit to let her recover or march onwards knowing she won't be fit to be our comrade in arms for a while."

"I...can still...fight."

"Clearly, Please do not put us as risk for the sake of your pride." Kaz looked sharp as he addressed you " What will it be?"

Maq needed that rest badly, there was no way you would continue onwards like that. While She was enjoying a good, well deserved shut-eye, Kaz started a small fire whipping out a guitar from basically no where . "Where the hell did you get that ?"

"I found it in my path, on some unfortunate absorbed actor..." He opted for playing in silence afterwards.

You chose not to ruin the moment. As the fire continued to crackle, you contemplated on your life and current events under the sad strings of the guitar. It was a good time to self-reflect...

+1 All social stats!

" I think I will keep this guitar, its previous owner certainly won't mind. We should go." His eyes were on Maq who had just woken up. She was still slightly dizzy, otherwise, Maq was completely fine and ready to go.

The elevator's door slowly creaked away as if it is acknowledging your presence "Alright guys, are you ready?"

" Of course. "

" Yes, I will slaughter anyone in our paths." That's our homicidal Maq.

The three of you could barely fit inside the rusty elevator, personal space was an issue here but not on openly complained about it. Thus began the descend into the darkness below.

+7% PROGRESSION
125% PROGRESSION MA-

"Where you think *YOU* are going?"

"WOOOAAAAAAAAAHHH, HOLD ON GUYS!"

A giant scaly hand grabbed the cage from down under snapping the elevator's chains and dragging you to the unknown.

______________________

"Owwww, my head.." It happened so fast, last thing you remember was the elevator crashing down because of that stupid...mermaid?

"Well, hello again my little fishies~" The salty mermaid was radically different than before, she looked like something out of the deep sea " Missed me? Lust is very, very angry....he wants you dead." The giant mermaid floated freely around you almost taunting you in this seemingly endless void.

"Oh yeah? We will-"

"Hush, Johann. We have a bigger problem." Kaz point at the Maq, unconscious and surrounded by shadows.

"YOU LEAVE HER ALONE ! Wh-what the...?"

"Fufu~ that's right. No personas for you to summon. I will enjoy swallowing your friend in one gulp. Why are you looking at me like that? "

"Madam, are you aware of the Zendoras Box you are about to open? Persona or not, you ill suffer." He threatened her politely.

"What are you going to do, pretty boy? Poke me to death? Hehehehe~ KILL THEM"

-The process is mostly the same with one exception : The Moonless persona acts as a party member provided that you have a vacant spot for them.
-Moonless Personas can't level up traditionally, can't be used in the grinder and can't be controlled.
-You can either set them free or betray them. Killing them will give you Makka

" Madam, must we continue such hostilities? Didn't my friend over there satiate your hunger? "

"Aren't you a smooth talker? " The giant mermaid giggled ill-concealing her amusement "You do not understand the situation you have put yourselves in...There is a deranged animal down there, I don't know how but you caused this. The real version of Lord Lust will wreak havoc in your silly, silly world."

" You still did not answer my question. Must we really fight on? If you were so keen on finishing us, you would have joined your brethren, Madam."

Kaz cornered her nicely " Alright you pretty boy ...you got me...all of this is part of a grand show, ARE.YOU.READY?" One by one, the lights were switched on, this 'void' was actually an arena of sorts with hundreds of spectators. All of them were cheering against you though.

-[MOONLESS] Kelpie [LVL 7] [90/90 HP] has joined your party!

"Bravoo, Bravoo... you really know how to stir a crowd ..NOT! " You were getting booed from all sides. They wanted to see blood getting spilled, Kaz did quite the opposite.

"The main event starts NOW. Let me tell you this...my friend over there is ITCHING to meet you. We had some foreman who was supposed to join the fight but I can't find him soooo...SAY HELLO TO YOUR DOOM "

A gate obscured in the darkness was opened unleashing a most unholy stench, almost good enough to knock you out. Almost.You heard the sound of metal tapping on the floor briefly before a large entity emerged from the shadows at insane speed....a chariot ?

「 LORD LUST, BEHOLD MY RIGID MAGNIFICENCE, FOR YOUR AROUSED SERVANT WILL RAIN WHITE VISCOUS DEATH UPON THESE FLACCID MANSLUTS 」

"Are you freaking kidding me right now?????!" A literal giant green....WOW. So this is the slimy thing the fisherman warned you about.

The Mermaid had a smug smile on her. This is totally unfair! Kaz is barely standing up right now, no way he would talk his way out of this situation.

"Well, this is different..." You was expected something more depraved the further you were inside this labyrinth. First of all, you were in some tropical island; the sand, the grass, the palm trees and the volcanic mountain...that is a good giveaway alright. The sea however wasn't visible from where you were standing. Secondly, the whole place felt too gloomy for some reason; the skies were grey and cloudy, the wind is bitter and cold, also, there were a LOT of trash littered around this sad paradise.

"What now?"

"We should find a way to get off this island. I highly doubt the exit point is here." said Maq, She wasted no time in scanning the area in the meantime.

You knocked first before getting inside, It was mostly the same procedure and testing , the only exception was this petri dish which was orange for some reason. It turned green when he put some of your saliva on it "What was that for?"

"None of your concern. " Yup, that is how it goes around here. Still, you asked him another question against your better judgement " I got this tonic from a dryad friend. He said it will cure me, should I use it?"

The elf frowned while doing his best not to call you a stupid K'lael "Any means of medication from an outside source will result in the termination of our contract. Can you tell me How do we research something that does not exist?"

"You are right, I am sorry." You are just gonna be a laughing stock in the academy for a while. Allll for the pons, Johann. It will be worth it.

"Besides, this street peddler had scammed your friend. At best this is some placebo, At worst, It may blind or even kill you. "

"No way man, you are just saying that because you work for the big guys." You too held yourself from saying something really idiotic that might have costed you a lot of pons.

"Am I?" He was deeply offended nonetheless "Bring me this 'Tonic' and I will analyze it personally 200 Pons will be deducted for this extra service."

- Sister Valady Malady-Begone

"Are you on drugs? I won't share the secrets of my corporation to some kid." You stepped on his nerves now for real " Let's assume for a second that I could do that for you. You are not smart enough to understand anything of our methodology. You must have a degree first..."

"Oh yeah, try me."

The man rolled his eyes taking a deep breath "In your case, The Alkaline Coxxi-vestrose has risen by 3% , what could cause such a rapid elation? What does it indicate? The Streppomagee bacteria has switched cycles from Glucom synthesis to another poorly studied circle. what is said circle? What is its implications in your case? Pesudo Comedol-necrosis is observed in the non-epithelial cells ...what is the best course of action? Tell me and I will triple your money right now."

>Uuuuh....
>You know what? fuck you AND fuck your contract. I am OUT.
>Ok, I don't get it. Just give my tonic back. I changed my mind.

Asking for a scientific paper about analyzing pharmaceuticals as a random high school student was a dumb idea. And selling Veishu's tonic to a megacorp for chump change feels like a dick move
>>
>>4499958
We’re not selling it, they’re analyzing it in exchange for 200 pons

"...our business is concluded here." Man, you really pissed him off. Good thing he didn't cancelled the contract. You needed that paper.

It was a long grueling day, you went straight to bed afterwards. Time to sleep.

Why is the sky all violet again? Is this Ruin's doing ? Nah, that is some moon dust, You never saw this one though. Miss Yuni quickly gathered everyone in the lounge "Good morning everyone, how are you feeling right now?"

"Miss Yuni, what is going on?"

"Party time? Woohoo!"

"Is this some kind of Moondust?"

"Children, This is Vennodust . You will experience strange lights today, they are mostly harmless but don't look it directly. It can cause some seizures."

Well, That is new. Huh, the skies changed colours to deep blue right away. Now you get the whole seizure part.

"We should venture in the Moonlands today, It would be easily influenced by this bizzare light." Maq whispered in your ear.

"Without Kaz?"

"We handled ourselves fine before. Give me a yes or a no."

>Ok, Time for a rave party [COMMIT]

Huh, you're right. We're basically giving them money so they can... check if it's poison or cut with something? As if Veishu would do that. I think it's an even worse idea, but it's in the past

" Good, I don't want to lag behind. "

"Right." Nothing is wrong with a bit of grinding some shadows to get stronger.

Oh wow, the academy is taking the whole voting thing very serious. Several teachers and seniors were standing near the main gate. The principal's secretary was there too. The entrance was basically clogged up with tons of students.

"Huh?" Someone was breathing heavily behind you, almost down your neck.

It was Lev.

" 394th, Angulation Seeta Miranii, 592-...No no no.." She muttered as she was swallowed by her near endless thoughts.

"Helllooo? Cairth to Lev?"

"Yes, Hello to every me as well."

"The hell are you saying?"

"I am sorry, I am sorry...I wished I could have stayed home, Vennodust is such a rare phenomenon."

-Luno's Digest: Moondust , Part I

"What is this? "

"Uuuh, your book? Technically, it belongs to the library. "

" I didn't gave you anything. Did you ... steal it? I won't judge you. Luno-Astrology can be too alluring sometimes."

"Are you freaking serious? You.Gave.It.To.Me." She has to be messing with you.

"Urrrghh..." She pulled out a sanitizer from her bag to clean her hands before checking her phone "Don't Look!"

"Alright, alright, sheesh." The only thing you saw was a long ass table she kept scrolling upwards.

"I did give you this book," She showed you the exact date and time. Your name was 'Long duck' Johann according to this table "...stealing a book for knowledge would have been more romanticizing. What did you think of it?"

>Why am I a 'Long Duck'?
>It is too hard, I have learning disabilities
>It is too easy, I am not a smooth brain, you know.
>I am legit interested in Luno-Astrology, Lev. That shit is insane!
>BORING!
>You won't believe this but this book had either saved lives or doomed them, time will tell.

"Uh-oh? Oh." Why is she blushing all out of the sudden?

"Did I say something wrong?"

"Nonoyes-no,NO!" She dropped her phone on the floor , all of her anxiousness with gone in a heartbeat replaced by a shriek of terror. The phone itself was totally fine, She had a small plastic box for the device "Another 5k lost..."

"What do you mean?"

"It is contaminated, the germs have made it inside. I must buy a new one."

>Don't be silly, here [Drop your phone on the ground and pick it up ]
>How many phones did you lost so far?
>Wow, elven problems are suuuure so baaaad.
>Want me to chip in?
>I can buy you a new one.
>Seriously????

Yeah Lev is weird

You think she would have just gotten a full case and screen cover for a tenth of the cost of the phone...

"Twenty five, Well, Twenty six. Urrgh.." As you were picking your jaw from the floor, She took the phone from its case and proceeded to drop it several times " ...Twenty eight, Twenty nine, Thirty! A good, healthy round number."

You were speechless, Assuming that she didn't '''''round'''' the previous count, thats 125k down the drain! To put it in comparison, You bought your dinky ass old phone for 700 pons!

" What is wrong?" She gave YOU a strange look " Are you afraid you might infect me with you current Juao-hyper Keratinized lingual Hostosies? It is not contagious so you wouldn't need to worry about my health. I do not fall easily to such rumours."

>What rumours?
>You are insane.
>[Leave before you burst a vein.]
>If you are so rich to buy a new phone ...then what the hell are you doing in this district? Gabiel or Espara are way better!
>[Quickly change the subject!]
>Yeah, We wouldn't want our chosen one to get the fifth blight.
>Can I have your phone?
>How did you know about my condition?

>>How did you know about my condition?

I want to hear her opinion on Jannie bro. It's also weird that she pays attention to the rumors the cooking class people are spreading about us
>>
>>4500322
Changing to this, Lev supporting Grubb would definitely sway some people

"The Janitor ? He shouldn't be near us like all other orcs."

"What?!" Last thing you would expect from her is to be blatantly racist.

"I told you Johann, numbers won't lie...orcs have the highest crime rates. They are statistically more likely to kill, rob and rape me than any other race by a large margin."

You blinked twice , still in shock "So in your little head, all orcs are a bunch of thieves and rapists, right?"

"No,no,no..." She shook her head " There are several orcs I respect: Ganda Dizzdibin, the Astral Poet, Jindoc Mozd the Crystal Archaeologist of Yerth and recently , Gonshak The cop who watches over me. I prefer not to interact with them at all."

You didn't have time to argue back with her as it was your turn to vote. The paper had two options: Grubb will stay in the academy and resume his work OR Grubb would be fired. Simple as that.

Time to vote.

>GRUBB WILL STAY
>GRUBB WILL BE FIRED
