Perk and Skill Fusions/Synergies:
Shadow Monarch's Crown(Immaculate Conception+Mark of Submission+Demon King's Heart+Hero's Soul+Elemental Infusions{Shadow, Life, Death})
Can perform a shadow-based necromancy to raise incorporeal shadows of the dead as soldiers that can be stored within your own shadow and summoned as needed. These shadows grow stronger as you do, but can never grow above you in terms of strength. The number of shadows you can store are dependent upon your own strength, and can only try to raise a single specific shadow three times. If all three attempts fail, then the Shadow will enter the void and be no longer applicable for extraction.
Soul Knight(Knight Class+Assassin Class+Elements{Shadow, Life,Death})
The synergy between Life and Death Elements as well as the Knight and Assassin classes have fused into the creation of a completely new unique subclass. This subclass allows one to effectively become a shadow warrior capable of freely manipulating the boundary between Life and Death. All attacks, spells, and skills have become naturally attuned to the Shadow Element. Stealth now grants intangibility and can wear heavy armor without a sound. All attacks can bypass a small portion of defenses by infusing them with magic.
Fount of Vitality(Humanity+Warm+Mark of Submission+Elemental Infusion{Life}+Carnation Conquest+Breeding Add-on+Regeneration+Infinite Stamina+ Beacon of Hope)
The synergy between these skills and perks have created a toggle-able Passive/Active skill that creates an aura of Vitality and life force centered around yourself. This aura as a Passive skill makes you a fount of life itself, granting a bonus to your regeneration while completely erasing your refractory period, allowing you to keep going in a marathon of sex without problem for as long as you wish. As an Active skill, you radiate an aura of healing and life, healing the living while harming the Undead except for yourself and those created or sired by you. Allies are also strengthened and their stamina and health restored and buffed while within your aura's range of effect.
Grand Executioner(Knight+Assassin+God's Blow+Elemental Infusion{Death})
This skill is a lesser form of God's Blow born as a result of a fusion of the synergies between the Knight's physical might, the Assassin's lethal precision, and the Death Element interacting with God's Blow. Now the skill is both stronger and weaker in its applications. In exchange for reducing its mana cost and weakening its buff effects, this skill can now be used so long as you have mana to use it, dealing damage equal to the mana used to power it in exchange for spending all the mana currently available to you from your mana pool. Its buffs are similarly weakened by completely giving up the defense boost in exchange for doubling the attack boost of God's Blow. A strike designed to reap the lives of foes but reducing your defenses during the strike as a trade off.
Vampiric Strike(Knight+God's Blow+Elemental Infusion{Shadow, Life})
A skill born from the synergy of the Knight class's physical might and the Shadow and Life Elements creating a specialized and lesser form of God's Blow. This strike allows you to heal yourself by draining the life force from your enemies, restoring the damage you suffered equal to the damage you dealt. The more you strike while this skill is active, the more you heal yourself from damage.
Temporal Reaver(Timefruit Juice+Status AIlments+Knight+Assassin Class+ Elemental Infusion{Shadow}+God's Blow)
This unique hidden class/skill is born as a result of the synergistic fusion of the time-based effects of the Timefruit Juice, the Status Ailments powers' ability to inflict status-altering conditions, and the Knight and Assassin classes natures as melee fighters favoring blades. The contribution of the Shadow Element tied them all together to create a unique subclass/subskill that renders death itself by inflicting time slowing effects upon opponents for a brief duration. As a class, it effectively replaces Assassin as a unique variant of it, granting the same boosts with a few extra skills and spells. As a skill, it utilizes bladed weaponry as a medium to cast spells and inflict status effects. At higher levels, this class/skill can even halt enemies in their track for a short burst around yourself, allowing you to inflict massive damage in a very short amount of time, so long as they are within the skill's effective range for the time-based status effect to take place. At the class's highest levels, you can even speed up allied forces, by manipulating the flow of time to part around them like with the Timefruit Juice power when using it yourself. However, the power itself all draws upon the same pool of accumulated time. Whether you speed up or slow down, yourself or others, it relies on the current pool you have. It can grow stronger as you level the class, but once you use up its pool of accrued time, it will take a full day of not using it to refill back to full.
...well...looks like I finally met my end once and for all. I survived being hacked and stabbed countless times, getting shot over twenty damned times, poisoned by chemical weapons and enemies thinking it would be clever to sic their lethally venomous pets on me, ran over by a dozen different cars by just as many drivers, impaled five different times by five different foes, and even got blown up by bombs about half a dozen times. I survived each and every time, and yet the thing that did me in was my own body finally giving out on me after having turned against me.
I died of stage four terminal cancer. The man known as the 'Revenant', the equalizer who just could not and did not know how to even properly die, made even the Punisher look like an amateur in comparison. Left a literal and metaphorical mountain of criminal corpses and oceans of blood in my wake. Yet what finally did me in when no one else could was my own body attacking itself while all attempts at chemo therapy failed to do shit but make my condition even worse.
Imagine, the infamous vigilante and mass murderer, the man criminals practically pissed their pants while shitting themselves in sheer terror at the sheer mention of me coming after their asses for their sins, dying from something as mundane as a terminal illness. At the very least, I left an impression when I pulled my last act as Revenant.
My best friend, a retired legendary assassin ironically enough, needed help after being forced out of retirement for the fourth goddamned time. You'd think when the legendary 'Baba Yaga' himself chooses to retire, people would know to leave him the fuck alone the first damned time.
Apparently, people are just that stupid. As my grandmother used to say before she died of old age, 'stupid is what stupid does, and stupid rubs off'. As advanced as medicine became, unfortunately there is still no cure for fixing stupid.
Anyway, this last run was my final time giving old John Wick a helping hand while I still could. Oh, he was fucking pissed when he found out I was dying and chose to help him out instead of getting treatment despite my time being very limited. I simply told him I was terminal, and treatments already failed. I asked various doctors for their prognosis. My favorite one gave me six months left to live...nine months before my last run with John.
I was a dead man walking who could drop dead at any second and nobody would know when. Not even me. So in the end, he acquiesced to my refusal to seek medical help and allowed me to help in his last final attempt to enter retirement peacefully once and for all. Ironically enough, we managed to get his payback against the dumbasses just a few days before my body finally gave out.
I even set up a Dead man switch for a particular video message that got sent to the seedy underbelly of society addressed for every cop, police force, and government agency in the world as well as every crime lord, mafiaso, and gangster currently of import in its underworld.
The contents?
A dying message from Revenant himself to the criminal underworld and law enforcement.
The general summary of my message?
Leave John Wick the fucking hell alone, and Baba Yaga won't come back out of retirement a FIFTH time. And this time he won't have me to hold him back and restrain his usual antics I kept in check with my presence keeping him grounded and from using certain...methods...
If any of them don't take the hint after such a blunt statement from a dead man walking, then humanity fucking deserves to die off for its collective stupidity.
I was not exactly a good person. I was no saint, but I wasn't a sinner either. I had standards and a personal code of honor I refused to bend for anything in pursuit of my ideals whilst following my own life philosophy. My entire family had been murdered, one by one, over the course of my life, from childhood on, and yet not a single one of their killers ever faced justice for their crimes until I MADE them after losing all patience and tracking them down to take revenge with my own two hands.
To some morally gray civilians, I was a vigilante who did what I had to do to get some criminals to face the punishments they'd evaded for far too long as the cops either took bribes to look the other way or were too 'by-the-book' to get anything concrete enough to put them behind bars for their crimes against the innocent to begin with.
For the lawful civilians who had yet to lose faith in the broken justice system, I was a mass murderer and deranged psychopath who took matters I had no business meddling with into my own two hands, despite the fact that Martin Luther King Jr. even said it himself. 'Justice too long served is justice denied'. If they didn't want me taking matters into my own hands, then they should have got shit done right the first damned time.
To the criminals I hunted, I was their Boogeyman and worst fucking nightmare made real.
To the cops I evaded like a damned wraith, I was either a ghost frustrating them with my elusiveness or an outright demon they prayed would not come after them next, depending on if they were clean or dirty.
Regardless, I at least settled my affairs, tied up loose ends, and made damned sure people would know that though I was gone, those I fought alongside and protected were not ignored. Justice was delivered for a time, even if it took the form of vigilante justice. Vengeance is merely the oldest form of justice, after all.
I always did wonder what waited for me after death once I finally croaked. As I said, I was no saint but I also was no sinner either. Were the Buddhists right, and there being a reincarnation into a new life based on your own karmic balance? Or were the various religions with a Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory right, and you soul would go wherever most suited your actions in life?
Well now I've got my answer and it is NONE OF THE FUCKING ABOVE!!! What utter bullshit!
Like I said, I wasn't exactly a good person who did some....morally questionable... things which would automatically disqualify me from ever entering Paradise. So if there was a Heaven, it most certainly would have shut its pearly gates in my face harder than a blue-balled overly hormonal teenager overdosing on a lethal amount of aphrodisiacs and male performance enhancing drugs in a room full of sex-addicted nymphomaniacs relapsing from a six-month dry spell.
Conversely if I ended up in Hell for some of the shit I pulled, I'd expected to find fire and brimstone when I came to upon taking my final breathe, instead of this utter empty void I find myself in...is this Purgatory perchance? Somehow, I doubt that. If this was actually Limbo, it was utterly boring and madness inducing for any normal sane person, though I wasn't exactly normal...or sane....at least not completely.
Now as I'm floating through what looks like a pitch-black void, I can't see anything. Can't hear anything. Can't even fucking feel anything either. I literally cannot experience shit. Sensory deprivation might make anyone else go insane, but for me, it's strangely comforting.
Suddenly, I felt a pull, and began to hear what sounded like a voice, turning my attention to the source in an attempt to make it out better-SUNNUVABITCH!!! That fucking hur-
"Do not avert your gaze, mortal...We have seen your desires, your dark fantasies. And we have judged them worthy..."
...oh? Grimacing a bit, I grumbled at the pain I felt within my fucking SOUL at whatever they did to draw my notice as I paid attention to that last part. It was clearly the voice of a woman, giving off a clearly dark and mature tone of voice, but the wording she used...
Worthy of what exactly?
"You need but say a word, mortal, and you will be made our champion to bring the treacherous Light to heel...You will become a monstrosity without equal, to despoil their cities, rape their women, and defile their saints..."
A monstrosity, huh? Despoiling their cities I'm not exactly against, given some of the shit the supposed 'good guys of the Light' have been known to pull. But 'raping their women' and 'defiling their saints'? That I frowned a bit at, but something about the wording got my interest despite my loathing disdain for rape. The 'treacherous Light', eh? So new world, new life, same old shit then? I'm listening...
"All this and more shall be given..."
Feeling the need to hear more, I suddenly feel my incorporeal ass getting yeeted in the direction of the presence that first drew my attention from the void I found myself wandering upon death. What the fu-
"Ayo, got 'im!"
-ck! ...seriously getting tired of this shit...
"Ignore my sister, please. Serial masturbation has left her brain-damaged."
Wait-whut? That can actually happen?
"Kek, you fell for Mel's lies, anon."
...huh?
"Do not address me by that name! And I've said no lies."
"That 'will become a monstrosity without equal' is not placed after we give anon the God juice, but after he grinds like a chink."
I blinked(as much as a disembodied soul can) at that. That better not have been a racist remark, considering some of my best allies were Asian. Choose your wording with more care, girl. She gave a sheepish glance my way as I glared at the accidental racist comment. before the other continued their argument.
"I had but a few moments to deliver the offer, some information was bound to inevitably be lost."
...huh? I felt a smirk of nostalgic amusement at their antics. Reminds me of the twin little sisters I used to have...hope they got a better place to go than I did upon death. Getting stuck in a fucking void was NOT my idea of fun...
"Liar, liar, pants on fire!"
...yep. Just like my younger kin, back in simpler times during the innocence of childhood. That's family for you. The more we fight, the closer we tend to be...
"You insufferable...! Deep breaths, Melanoche, deep breaths. Let me illustrate the situation to you, our champion. The world of Ruyanei has ever been the place of struggle between the Light and Dark-"
"Anime JRPG fantasy world where the monsters were about to win, but then the glowing cocksuckers of Light cheated, and made every hero OP, so now we're cheating too!"
I listened to their discussion a bit longer, though several points made themselves clear to me from the listening I got from them, though I took it with a grain of salt until I get there myself upon hearing what they have to offer me. Then they bring up a bunch of screens before me and Holy Shit! I see several of the things here and feel the need to think carefully. Though I cannot talk yet, these two clearly can at least understand what I'm wanting to convey from my soul to help explain things to me. They even made the screen something I can read. Very accommodating. Finishing my plans, I start with my build...
Picking my choices, I chose the Powerful core choice. I was always a guy who relied on physical power and skill to get myself through countless situations. This'll just make it a bit easier to do so.
After finishing my musings, I decide to go with a hybrid race of an Undead and an Erosarkic, with the plan of having a Tyrant or even Nemesis-like body from the Resident Evil franchise. Say what you will about Tyrant, Nemesis, or even Mr. X, but they were built like a fucking brick-shit house and could take a beating that would kill anyone else and simply got back up to deal even more pain back to whatever poor bastard got grabbed by them. And that's without the continued evolution born as a result of mutating in response to different weapons trying and failing to put them down the first time. And this is before the porn parodies had some monster porn starring them railing the female cast members from Resident Evil. Suffice to say, I have some ideas for what I'll be doing for fun.
As for size? Huge. I was always bigger than most kids my own age, but I was a gentle giant...until I finally lost my shit and patience after burying my last living connection to my old life. As for the downsides, not really much different from before. Bigger target? I was a goddamned human siege engine of a living battering ram, not a fucking meat shield. Can't sneak? Then all those criminals and dirty cops I ghosted for crossing my bottom line must've been *dumb, blind, *and deaf\ as shit to not have noticed me coming before I struck. Plus, those Tyrants were big bastards. Enough said. I was also a big guy, too, before the cancer fucked my shit up real good. So this might be a little bigger than my former prime, but shouldn't be too bad getting used to it. Maybe about five or six inches to a foot taller than I used to be. I was a near 7-foot giant before I died. This'll be just a bit taller if my math is right.
As for my new dick, I chose the complete package with all three add-ons. The breeding add-on will ensure I have children this time, something I never had the time or chance for in my previous life. Plus the synergy between it and the Carnatian Conquest perk will certainly make certain I'll have plenty to make up for the lack of fun I had. The Mindbreak add-on was to make sure the girl at least enjoys it. It feels like the least scummy uses of the three choices. As for the Ryona add-on...that was for the synergy between the Erosarkic and Undead races and the bone spines and tentacles. I don't actually plan to use them on any of my women, save for maybe the normal aphrodisiacs, tit growing, lactation, and sensitivity ones. The pain toxin, flesh melting toxin, and bone spines will be used exclusively for combat.
Melanoche seemed intrigued by my reasoning while Carnachias found it a practical use yet fun idea in one go after explaining it to them. Suffice to say, both Goddesses were very much impressed by my forethought and thinking.
For my monster Powers, thanks to the cheats and choices I picked, I got three. The Timefruit juice, Status Ailments, and Elemental Infusion powers. The first two were pretty self-explanatory. Time is just plain busted as something to manipulate in any manner. Taking multiple moves in a single turn? That can be either a boon or a bane depending on if you or your enemy are the ones using it. As for Status Ailments, the ability to completely no-sell them while inflicting them upon enemies? Yes please.
For the third one I picked, Elemental Infusion, I selected three elements after careful thinking and even asked the two sisters before me for confirmation. As for what those choices were? I picked Life, Death, and Shadow Elements.
Life element would have perfect synergy with Erosarkic half of my race while Death element would produce the same effect as the Undead half of my hybrid race. Using Life element would allow me to heal myself without needing to worry about the dangers of healing magic hurting my Undead half, and allow me to flesh sculpt my body or that of others, making it a versatile element for its practical uses. I won't even need the Priest class to heal with it, either. It could even allow me to manipulate the fertility rates and modify the bodies of myself or others in a favorable direction, evolving similar to the way the T-virus naturally did in Resident Evil, only I'd be able to control what changes occur and could even reverse then if I felt the need to.
Meanwhile the Death element would give me the ability to manipulate the bodies of the dead, allowing me to perform a form of necromancy without needing to take the Priest class to do so. It would also be useful in restoring my Undead half should I ever get damaged beyond my ability to heal myself normally. I could even take the parts of the dead to assimilate it into myself using the Life element to integrate their physical traits into myself, grafting their better parts to replace the ones that are too damaged to heal or restore.
The third element I picked was where I got clarification from the sisters. Shadow element. The element between Light and Dark. The symbolic element of connections that is also considered synonymous with Ether or Void. For a morally gray guy like me, it was the perfect compliment to both halves of my race to link them together. The possibilities with this one, while none too impressive at first, had massive potential. As the element between Light and Darkness, it would give me the strengths of both while negating their weaknesses. And if I can exploit its symbolic nature as the element of connections, also known by its other name as Ether...
Melanoche was further impressed with a heated look in her eyes rubbing her thighs together at my planning while Carnachias felt like I was going to be a fun one to watch. Girl literally began to masturbate right in front of me while I was making my build now, while a lecherous grin split her face like a loon. I had to deliberately force myself to continue the build to avoid the distraction. Didn't even have a body yet to enjoy such a sight with. It was merely torture for my ephemeral ass right now.
As for my classes, I picked both the Knight and Assassin classes. The Knight would give me the perfect physical strength and defense needed to go mano a mano with my foes, while also supporting any allies I create or manage to find by my side. Assassin was obvious. It would make perfect use of my Ryona add-ons' toxins and bone spines for combat applications. That, and it was familiar territory for me. I would often ghost my opponents to thin their numbers as much as possible before being forced into an open confrontation with them. So both were familiar territory for me. As for the Sorcerer or Barbarian classes, those were the easiest for me to unlock later. Using my Elemental Infusions or Status Ailments would unlock Sorcerer while fighting enemies who've earned themselves a hate-filled grudge from me would more than likely gain me the Barbarian class down the line. It'll depend on which one unlocks first.
Once I got to the cheats, I picked, much to Melanoche and Carnachia's intrigued amusement, FOUR of them. They actually laughed at that. Well Carnachias did a full belly-laugh. Melanoche simply gave a deeply amused chuckle while smirking at my brazen audacity. I was told to pick one, and I did. I extended a tendril of my soul, then split it into four to select four cheats at the same time, thus I made a single choice by selecting four at the exact same time. My blatant loophole abuse certainly got their favor there. After all, I technically didn't break the rules, yet exploited a loophole in them to get them all.
Melanoche actually wanted to use this excuse the next time she was forced to pick a single choice in the future with her fellow Gods. Carnachias wanted to do the same the next time she could only pick one kink from a list she was given in the future. I silently nodded in response. Glad to be of service.
The four I picked were the Pro Gamer HUD, Demon King's Heart, Hero's Soul, and the Hybridization cheats. The second, third, and fourth ones were due to the increased potential they'd give me as well as expand my options. The Heart, Soul, and Hybrid options would expand what I could and could not use on top of the stat boosts they'd give me. And this is on top of the EXP boost from the Heart and Soul both. The HUD was simply to make getting EXP and keeping track of my growth much easier. That and depending on how it works, I might even be able to see enemies who are trying to be sneaky before they can even notice me if they don't have the cheat themselves, and will catch them in the act if they do have it too.
After confirming and locking in my choices, I felt a surge of power to fill my soul as my perception seemed to shift as I grew in height. Still didn't have a body yet, but the general shape was starting to form now. I began to look down to view the Sisters as they look up at me and begin wrapping things up for now. They showed me the current intel on the various Saintesses and Holy Fuck! What utter bullshit is this?! No wonder the Sisters called the Light treacherous and cheaters. These builds are completely broken. Nerf this shit dammit. The balance has been completely thrown out of whack here. Those dumbasses practically took the rules of balance, broke it over their knees, and treated them like mere suggestions rather than the laws they were meant to be...
...if the Dark disrupted the balance, and they freely admitted this from the get-go, then the Light completely destroyed it near completely with these stupidly broken stats. Seeing just how unfair this utter bullshit is, it's no wonder the Sisters decided to cheat too just as badly. But at least the Sisters can claim that they're trying to restore equilibrium. Until I speak with someone from the Light I'll be holding my opinions for now, but I get the feeling I'm gonna be pissed when I finally do, somehow.
Going over the list of these targets of interest, I read and fully intend to thoroughly commit the info to memory. Knowledge is power, and to quote Tsun Zhu, 'Know the enemy, know yourself, and you shall face no peril even in a hundred battles'.
First of the Saintesses is none other than a literal Saintess. As in, a holy woman from a legit church dedicated to a literal God with a capital 'G'. Her turf's gonna be a headache to fight her on, given the home field advantage she'd have, and that's without the possible hundreds of not thousands of clerics, paladins, and holy knights of her church's militant arm at her back. So in the event I face her in battle, lure her away from the church and onto a battlefield of my choosing. Preferably one I prepped beforehand to use against her. There's also the tidbit of her capabilities and her past. Obscenely high affinity for the Light Element and complete immunity to it. A voice capable of insta-killing any Undead or Dark-based creatures that are magically weaker than herself. Complete immunity to all abnormal status conditions. Oh, and to top it off, she can cast powerful healing and buffs upon both herself and her allies.
The only flip side on her dossier that can potentially be exploited is some psychological warfare by using her past as a child prostitute against her and calling her 'Ria', since it's related to her trauma as such...like Hell would I exploit that unless I absolutely have no other choice in the matter. If anything, I feel the overwhelming urge to find those sick bastards and hunt them down myself, if they're still alive. And if they're fellow monsters? Well, I think the Light might appreciate their deaths and the Sisters will understand why you are never to cross a monster's bottom line. At the very least, becoming her first Dark race friend would help to fix this problem in a manner that should help satisfy the Sisters if I do this right without needlessly pissing off and provoking a reactive response from the Light that winds up rocking the boat too dangerously close to capsizing again.
Next up was a literal Amazon Queen with tits bigger than her own fucking head...and she's actually got a couple inches on my new height based on the intel shown here. The 'Invincible Woman' and the one who unified all the barbarian tribes under her banner through her martial strength alone. 'Strong enough to hurl mountains'(this is not a very clear description, but I am just going to assume they aren't talking about small ones here, just to be safe), complete immunity to physical damage, 90% resistance to all magic damage, obscene regeneration that could literally let her come back from the very brink of death to full health in just a second(which is absolutely stupidly broken and leaving me questioning how the hell is she even still human), oh, and as the final cherry on top, she can incarnate spirits of the land to force them to fight on her behalf in battle.
Calling that busted is an absolute understatement. This woman has basically made herself as close to fucking immortal as you can get without actually being unkillable. The only useful tidbit of information here is the fact she's a completely serious woman who's such a veteran of the fun police she can't even confess to her crush...yet is completely unaware of the fact he is already taken...unless polygamy is allowed and common here, she's bound for a crushing heartbreak and I feel the strong urge to find this dick and punch him for playing with this immortal woman's heart in such a fashion. It's definitely not a pleasant thought, but sadly exploiting this 'weakness' is my only shot of dealing with this one. Though this asshole better have a good reason for not tapping that and going for someone else while stringing her along so cruelly.
Then third on the list, there's the literal walking magical nuke factory. The Arch-Imago Citrinas. The Greatest Magician Alive. The emphasis on capitalizing those words is intentional and deliberate on my part. Complete affinity for using and casting every existing element of magic. Offensive spells that actually surpass nukes(if that can be believed, but I'm just going to operate on the assumption it is for safety's sake. Better to overestimate someone than underestimate them and get torn a new asshole for your troubles). The utterly broken ability to completely bypass all elemental immunities(never mind resistances, since if she can bypass immunity, then resistance is plain not worth mentioning. At all.). Can create powerful golems ex-nihilo on the spot(that'll be fun to deal with...not). And for the cherry on top of this particular walking magic disaster sundae, she can even make all manner of potions and poisons capable of even affecting and bypassing any status immunities you have(that's gonna suck ass royally if she makes a fucking poison gas bomb able to light my ass on fire with continuous Light and Fire damage with no way to cure the affliction on my part, then I be fucked and not in the fun way).
The only saving grace here is apparently she's Autistic. That means she just does not get human social interactions. At all. She has absolutely zero attachments or understanding of humanity in the slightest. Not even to her fellow Saintesses. Apparently the journey was supposed to help fix this, but their boost in power completely ruined this personal growth from happening as it should have. The fact she is willing to do anything for knowledge or new experiences means she's paradoxically both the most dangerous yet the safest of all the Saintesses to encounter. The fact she's a virgin who's never had a close male friend before makes me want to help her out with this one. Is that wise? Probably not. Could I die? Most likely. Will I try anyway? I'd smash dat ass.
The next one is none other than the 'Hero'. Tomoko Sakurai...she's a fucking isekai'd cheat heroine reincarnated here by the Light. As if all the previous ones weren't already a high enough hurdle, she can use everything the prior ones mentioned could, but better(I'm just going to assume the descriptions of their capabilities are not exaggerations and operate under the belief they might even be stronger than described at this point. Suffice to say, this is utter bullshit). The fact that Melanoche even clearly stated that she was surprised her very soul didn't collapse in on itself and implode from the sheer amount of cheats she's got shoved into her is pretty damn telling on just how fucked up this situation is. And this is before she dropped the bombshell that she can resurrect herself three times before dying for good.
...just what the fuck was the Light even thinking, pulling something this stupidly overpowered and completely trashing the balance like they had done. The fact that she was a suicidal NEET prior to reincarnating into this world makes this both easier and difficult for plans on dealing with her. On the one hand, being a bit of an otaku and game nerd myself would allow me the means to get her to open up a bit in a manner that doesn't outright end in conflict or violence. On the other hand, the fact she's apparently completely dependent mentally and emotionally on her identity of a hero protecting humans from monsters and her only friends are her fellow Saintesses is...very concerning. In more ways than one. Just what in the ever-living fuck was the Light thinking, simply handing out obscene amounts of power like this to these girls while completely stunting their mental and emotional growth and development in the process?! Did they not consider the consequences of their actions or decisions? I'm certainly starting stronger than most others, but at least it's a reasonable starting point. Then there's the class levels for these girls.
The lowest class level for any of them was 40...for just ONE of their classes. Yes, 'classes'. Plural. And they all had at least three, with the others being an even higher level. Their lowest level of their highest class was Level 90, with the highest being Level 99. And then there's the Hero's classes which were all Level 99. And she had FOUR of them. If this is accurate(and I'm acting under the assumption that it is until proven otherwise), then the Light is about to have me personally tear 'em a new asshole when I finally get the chance speak with the ones responsible for this clusterfuck of a political shitstorm. But until then, this is going to suck ass either way when I eventually cross their paths.
The final one on the list made me suddenly feel a strong and overwhelming urge to rut, despite the fact I didn't have a body yet. Maybe because she's only wearing a cape and a thong and nothing else. Maybe it's because of the sheer sexual stimulus of the picture in question(Carnachias clearly is trying to get me all worked up...and it's working, dammit). Or maybe it's just something about her specifically that just attracts me to her. But something about her is drawing me in like none of the others have done. Like an instinct deep within my essence, my core, my still forming body. She was apparently the weakest of the heroes, ironically enough, yet is actually a boss tier monster. She's also the only one among them who didn't seem to have a class at all. Her name? Runa Ruya, the current Dark Dragon King...and apparently the daughter of the former Demon King who betrayed her father. When Melanoche told me she didn't care how or for what reason and to kill her for her betrayal, I simply pointed something out she might have overlooked.
Runa Ruya has no classes or levels. That could be explained by her race, but then why did she have her race listed as 'Dark Dragon King' while the others didn't have a race listed? Shouldn't that technically be her class, not her race specifically? She also supposedly betrayed her father, and was thus 'redeemed' in the eyes of the Light, yet makes no mention of the 'how' she was redeemed. I brought this up and mentioned something was not adding up here. Unless her father was a right bastard who had so badly fucked up royally every which way he could and then some in raising her, there's no way she just decided to outright betray her father out of nowhere. Not without some blatantly obvious warning signs that should have let him know before it happened. Yet there wasn't any.
She's adding two and two and somehow getting five. There's something not adding up here. We're missing a crucial piece of context here, and until I know what's what, I'll put off killing her for as long as possible. Melanoche wasn't exactly pleased, but she understood what I was getting at.
"Now anon for the fun part. Visualize the general form of what you wish your new body will look like. The specifics can be left up to your earlier choices in building your body." Carnachias spoke with clear glee-filled interest in her heated gaze at these words.
"Focus on the basic overall broad strokes, the specifics can be left to the racial traits you chose." Melanoche spoke up to continue the process and finalize the transformation.
Nodding to the Sisters, I began to focus as I imagined the form I desired. I pictured a form similar to Mr. X in base build from Resident Evil, but with Nemesis' tentacles sprouting from the back and wrists. and his ingrained weapon proficiency. I also imagined bone claws like Wolverine's capable of growing from between my knuckles as well as my feet similar to X-23 did. I pictured my manhood as a bumpy swell of prehensile tentacles bundled and wrapped around the knotted base of a pair of my primary 15-inch long and 4-inch thick bitch-breakers as its default shape. Each one had fleshy barbs like a cat's along the shaft, a knot at the base of each, before the swollen base where they split from my crotch where my tentacle dicks were sheathed at the base.
They also retracted into a sheath to keep them from getting in the way when not in use, similar to some reptile species. My testicles were also four grapefruit-sized orbs dangling low within the thick leathery bag of my scrotum between my tree-trunk-sized thighs. The thickened skin would help protect them while each was internally connected to all my tentacle cocks and my shafts. The skin was quadrupled in thickness all across my body, with a durability akin to a rough leather hide.
My new body had an Adonis-like musculature. Like a marble statue that was literally carved by Gods. My skin formed thick and leathery, yet smooth and blemish-free aside from the minor slits in the hide where my tentacles, bone claws, and bone spikes and spines come out and retracted from across my body. As I was imagining my face, Carnachias made a comment.
"Oh, and Anon? Try not to think about troll faces or Pepes while forming your new body!"
I very nearly did just that as I felt the infamous smile forming on my face before catching myself and stopping before it settled. I then gave her a nonplussed look, making my annoyance known very clearly to her.
"Gotcha! Admit it Anon, it was pretty funny!"
...okay yeah, it kinda was. I had to chuckle a bit at that admission. I might have done the same in her position. Finishing up the general formation of my new body, I began to start having my vision fade into nothing as the Sisters finished up their little explanations with some parting words before I finally left.
"Now the assignment we give you before you leave...to enjoy your new life and follow your desires. While we'd like and prefer you to bring victory to the Dark and defeat the Light, we won't force it." Melanoche spoke with a kindly smile as Carnachias continued.
"Yeah Anon. It's your life, enjoy it to the fullest. Not everybody gets a second chance like this, so make the most of it." Carnachias' unusually serious comment made it clear she wasn't all bad. Driven and motivated primarily by lust and desire? Certainly. Constantly seeking out pleasure for her own amusement? Definitely. But outright evil? Hell naw, I know Evil and Darkness are not synonymous better than anybody, given my former life.
That's...surprisingly generous of them, too. While I don't know for sure whether or not they're being completely straight with me, at the very least this is a point in their favor from my perspective. Carnachias then chose right there to continue by ruining the moment with her two-cents by returning to her usual depraved mischief...
"Uhm, Mel. don't you think he's going to need some extra enticement to deal with those OP as fuck bitches?"
"I intended to bestow upon him immortality and the ability to step between the planes were he to succeed."
"Uh, yeah, no. He can get that just by walking out of here and drinking from the fountain. Hahaha, I've got it."
...wait, seriously? There's a fountain here? I don't see it anywhere...
"Anon, what do you think of my sister? Because if you win, I'll give you her hand in marriage. Wait, no, that's worthless. I'll give you her as a slave."
I frowned mentally at that. Looking at Melanoche, she's not unattractive. If anything, she's a (literal)Dark Beauty befitting her status as a Goddess of Monsters and the Mother of the Night. Though her body is on the more petite side compared to her sister, she has her own charm. Her slim build gives her an ephemeral appeal, like a frail flower untouched by all, yet hiding a danger behind that same frail form. Like a Nightshade. Beautifully frail flower, yet lethally poisonous to any fool enough to mess with it unprepared. Her thin body, showing a grace and maturity typical to a Yamato Nadeshiko from my former life, topped by an alluringly youthful face with a head of dark, nearly black purple locks down to her hips. I could definitely see her as a top candidate for potential waifu material. But a slave....
Meanwhile Carnachias is literal sex on heels. Her body is clearly defined by her domain as a Goddess of Lust and Desire. Thick thighs, wide child-bearing hips, a badonkadonk that just begs to be slapped and railed upon a massive bitch-breaking monster cock, a slim yet toned belly, huge and fat honking tits, and a face that constantly gives off a 'come-fuck-me-silly' look seemingly by default topped by a head of pale off-white platinum locks that go down to her shoulders.
"Wha-no. I refuse."
"*Coughs*40k year old virgin thinking her opinion matters*coughs*Kek"
"CEASE YOUR IMPLICATIONS!"
...whut? No really. Whut? How the hell has nobody tapped that yet? I felt a strong, instinctive compulsion to correct this grave injustice one day as a personal goal. As a matter of fact, Carnachias little incentive actually made me have an even better idea...
"Anyway, good luck Anon. Have fun raping wherever you go! See ya. I'll prep sis for your cock."
"Do not ignore me!"
Before I left, I just looked at both the Sisters and decided to add fuel to the fire between them as I got a bold idea in my head as these two sisters grew on me a bit and decided to shoot my shot while I still could.
"Counter-offer, Carny. I'll take both you and Mel as my women when I win and father children with you both."
That got them both to freeze, as both Sisters blushed at my forwardness and declaration of intent to claim and impregnate them both. Melanoche in restrained desire and numb disbelief while Carnachias grinned in excitement like the cat that got the entire pet shop full of canaries.
"Deal, Anon!"
"Wait-"
I finally left their place as both my vision and hearing faded to nothing at Melanoche's panicked wide-eyed response to Carnachia's immediate laughter-filled acceptance of my desired reward from the Sisters should I complete their assignment as their champion, smirking to myself as I prepared myself for where I'll end up...
Oh SUNNUVABITCH!!! Again?!
...only instead of finding myself in a new world, I find myself in yet another void. This time blindingly bright. And in front of me appears what looks to be a petite-bodied angel with a pair of bright jade -green twin-tied loose pony-tails flowing behind her head swaying with the non-existent breeze. Orange eyes locked with mine as she simply widened them in growing horror. This angel seems girly as hell. A beauty that few women could reach, even with the most thorough of plastic surgeries.
"Awawawawawa! I didn't manage to stop them! You shouldn't have listened to the voices in the dark in the first place!"
This angel then began her spiel about how 'the Dark was Evil' and that I must 'return to the Light'. The hypocritical bitch even spoke of how she she planned to make me 'turn against the Dark' and 'save the world instead of conquering it as I was tasked', practically demanding and ordering me too, as if it was expected I would just mindlessly agree as though I had no free will or thoughts of my own. Bitch even offered me bribes to 'convince me to change sides'. I just gave this angel a rather dismissive look of utter disdain.
Hello Pot. Name's Kettle. You're black.
Apparently she didn't like my response as she started to make a self-righteous rant about how 'Dark was Bad' and 'Light is Good'. How arrogantly short-sided and hypocritically inaccurate. Her assumptions of reality were not endearing me much to the Light, nor were they doing her any favors. She even said her name was Ariel, the Lion of Heaven and Lord of Air. I thought back to, recalled, and mentioned the Disney princess by that name, but apparently Ariel took offense.
"FUCK YOU! I'M A MAN! I LIKE GIRLS!!!"
...press 'x' to doubt.
I completely broke that damned 'x' button from how hard I smashed it in response to her claims.
I just gave her a look of disbelief. A man? I call bullshit on that. She's way too girly to ever pass herself off as a man. I thought angels couldn't lie or would fall from grace if they did. Or was that just a myth from my old world? Ariel did not take a very kind response to my thoughts on the matter, but still tried to blatantly bribe me with other powers in an attempt to make me a 'good person' and 'return to the Light'.
I rolled my eyes at her for that one. I have heard such hypocrisy countless times from self-righteous individuals more times than I care to count back during my early vigilante days. Vainglorious fools and short-sighted morons, the lot of them. Their 'justice' more often than not actually did more harm than good to the innocents. At the very least, I'll humor her to see what's available.
Holy. Fucking. Shit.
Some of these are just less powerful versions of some of the Dark powers and perks. But others...I automatically notice somethings among both the Race and Divine Miracles section of these 'bribes'. Among the Spirit race option, it mentioned the possibility of a 'third neutral faction', yet Ariel dismissed it as falsehood. I called bullshit on that being 'just a rumor' as Ariel tried to make it out to be. As for the Divine Miracle Mark of Submission...I suddenly felt a sudden suspicion within my mind when I saw it. I felt something rising here, and it ain't the Shield Hero. According to Ariel, it was supposed to take the form of a 'mark on the shoulders of the target', and was used by angels for 'those of the Dark who they feel can be redeemed'. But due to my monster nature, it seems to have been turned into a lewd womb tattoo instead.
That specific choice of wording made me recall Runa Ruya, the 'Redeemed'. She 'betrayed her father' after having been 'redeemed', aiding the Saintesses in defeating her own FATHER, the former Demon King. She wears a cape with a high collar and low back, covering her shoulders, entire back, ass, neck, and part of her face from view. I immediately began scowling internally while maintaining a neutral look on my face in front of Ariel, yet she didn't seem to notice my internal monologue or the chain of deductive logic currently running through my mind.
How the fuck is that supposed to be a Light-side power? It's basically slavery. A mark of forced enslavement, stripping the target of the ability to use all their skills or powers without permission from the one who placed it. All the while making them completely incapable of refusing or disobeying the orders of the one who placed the mark upon their body. Heavy emphasis on 'any orders'. I figured out the missing piece of Runa Ruya's supposed betrayal. I just added two, two, and one, and finally got the five Melanoche gave me before. Though I'd better confirm it first before I make an assumption that could get me killed for jumping the gun.
Looking at the options Ariel offered(still find it completely two-faced hypocrisy that an ANGEL of all things would so willingly offer bribes), I decided to change my Powerful core and swap it with an Inspiring one. This was a tactical choice. The Powerful core granted me increased physical strength personally, true. But the Inspiring core would grant that and more to both me and any allies fighting alongside me. So in a way, Inspiring core was actually better than the Powerful core. Plus, it also suits my style as someone who prefers to let their actions do the talking for them. Talk is cheap. Actions speak far louder volumes than words ever will. If I am to gain allies, then it will be through respect and loyalty, not through might and fear. I became a vigilante to oppose corrupt cops and tyrannical crime lords drunk on their power, not become a crooked bastard just as bad as they were. What was the point of opposing them if I became the very thing I hated most?
As for the Divine Oaths, I chose only two, and that was begrudgingly for one of them while carefully planning with the other. The Respect Sacred Ground and Eradicate the Dark Oaths. The Respect Sacred Ground Oath was simple and one I took begrudgingly. If I find myself in Sacred Ground, like a church dedicated to a God within a world where literal Gods actually exist, I want a literal justification to prevent me from potentially pissing them off by accident. Plus, I had no intention of ever deliberately doing that, either, so long as I have no reason to do so and can avoid it if I can. This could also apply to graveyards and cemeteries, but even I know better than to disturb the eternal rest of anyone buried there.
I might be going for an ad-hoc Necromancer-styled build, but even I have standards for what I will and will not allow myself to do.
As for the other one I chose, Eradicate the Dark, I chose it for the simple reason of the fact it allows me to locate the leaders of the Dark, meaning I could find them wherever they are. And it didn't say I had to 'kill' them, only 'defeat' them. That was easier to swallow than the third Oath trying to handicap me. All I'd need to do was either find a way to convince them to ally with me or 'convince' them in other ways. Something the previous options I picked gave me to help with some of them that might be slightly more difficult to talk down without a fight.
The final Oath, Love Humanity, is just stupid in my opinion. It basically doesn't let me attack any humans first, and can only fight them in self-defense. If I run into a group of bandits on the road, and tried to attack them first, then just because they were humans, I would be penalized for attacking them, despite the fact they were the furthest thing from innocent you could get. I basically made it my life's mission to kill bastards like that in my previous life. Like hell I was agreeing to that bullshit restriction. It's just basically trying to get me killed. At least Respect Sacred Ground only prevents me from attacking specific kinds of locations, like churches and hallowed grounds dedicated to and sanctified by literal Gods. Love Humanity doesn't even have that loophole to exploit.
When I looked at Ariel and brought this up, mentioning the sheer stupidity of these Oaths and that he was basically trying to make it easier to get myself killed, the hypocritical bitch had the audacity to say they were not. I pointed out that of the three Oaths, the first and third at least didn't have such an absolute restriction and could at least be manageable. The second one, Love Humanity, though? Unless they attacked me and had already half-killed me, I wouldn't even be allowed to fight back. How was that anything BUT trying to make me get myself killed?
She shut her damn mouth after that and stopped trying to pull any obvious fast ones on me in such a blatant manner. Bitch wasn't happy, but I didn't care. She's the one who made the damned terms, not me. Not my fault I'm smart enough to completely read the fine print and think through possible consequences of breaking any of the conditions listed. Some enemies tried to be clever, thinking to use that tactic before. It failed. Almost thirty times. Before they finally wised up to the futility in that particular trick against me.
Moving onto Angel Blessings, I immediately noted the Angelic Protection and Domain options. Domain was basically just a pocket dimension version of the Dark's Dungeon Master power. No thanks. The dungeon was basically a big weakness in the fact it couldn't even be moved once formed, and if its core was destroyed, then I'd die too. Domain is simply a more secure version of it, but again, the fact it states it can be prevented by strong enough beings from being able to enter, even if you cast it successfully, was an immediate and flat 'Hell no'. So while it might be more secure than a Dungeon, and can be accessed from or moved to anywhere, it still has a fatal weakness that would get me killed if someone managed to exploit it, no matter how obscure said weakness or low the chances were. No thanks.
As for Angelic Protection, that is basically a weaker version of the Status Ailments Dark Power only without the ability to inflict them. No thanks, I've already got that stronger and more useful version from the Dark powers. Status Ailments covers everything that Angelic Protection does already, but can also inflict them on top of resisting them. It would be redundant getting it.
Moving onto the remaining four Angel Blessings, I decide to get them. Warmth would be useful for not terrifying my allies while absolutely scaring my enemies shitless. Perfectly my style from my former life(Plus it'll make it easier to peacefully negotiate and actually talk to others without needing to fight them first). God's Eye was basically the scanning ability commonly found in video games, which would go perfectly with Pro Gamer HUD(On a side note, I confirmed that Ariel is in fact NOT actually a dude, but simply uses a constantly active polymorph spell to grow a functional cock and balls to pass herself off as one. The fact she actually identifies as male and keeps trying to get laid with a woman yet keeps getting drawn to men ruined all her attempts. She's also got a counter for 'times caught with heretical gay thoughts'and viewed a list of her fetishes that made her cry in embarrassed shame at being exposed...I'm suddenly more motivated to find her gem and hate-fuck her into accepting both her femininity and her bisexuality). Taking that. Immaculate Conception is essentially creating constructs to fight on my behalf, which would synergise rather well with my chosen Elemental Infusions. Life, Death, and Shadow Elements, in conjunction with this, would allow me to pull some specialized Necromancy add-hoc without the Priest class(It could also serve to act as an emergency first aid and temporary prosthesis in different situations, depending on how good I get with it. There are also some...fun...ideas for possible experiments I could do with them.). Definitely picking that. Humanity would allow me to assume a human form while making going about incognito among the Light's forces far easier, so yep. Taking that polymorph option as well(As much as I might like the body I made, I'd still like to at least have a human form to shift back into when I wish to relive some nostalgia from my former life. Spice is the variety of life, and all that jazz).
Now for the Miracles section and...what the shit?
I immediately dismissed the Pure Land option for the same reasons as the Dungeon Master and Domain choices. Too damn restrictive, too many dangers, not enough gains. It basically makes my landing point in Ruyanei a magical hot spot, passively giving and accelerating my growth while on the land in question, but slowing it down the second I step foot off it. But it doesn't say what happens if any other being sets foot within it if they can also benefit. If I'm facing a powerful foe who can leech off my Pure Land, and was already stronger than me before the battle, then I'm a dead monster while shit outta luck. No thank you very much.
Enoch was an immediate 'Hell naw'. Sure, its strong, but it's basically a less powerful yet more dangerous version of the Final Form Dark Monster Cheat. If I die, it'll basically destroy my soul as I'd basically be turning my body itself into my own soul. No thanks. Ariel's Alm was tempting, but I immediately decided against it for similar reasons. Dealing with this bitch's blatant and shameless hypocrisy was grating enough just for these last few minutes. Like hell am I going to deal with her shit right now, and no, I refuse to acknowledge Ariel as anything but a woman. Not a snowflake's chance in seven Hells that is a dude(God's Eye even confirmed it. 'He' is actually a 'she'). Besides, from what I gathered from our discussions and banter, she'd sooner let me get killed than try to protect me.
Doesn't mean if I get a chance later I won't see about making her fall from grace upon my shafts, if that even is possible here. Plus if these can be obtained in Ruyanei, then that means Ariel's Alm is also hidden somewhere there as well. Probably hidden in a church's altar or sacred temple's shrine somewhere. I can seek it out later as an optional choice. A very tempting one, giving how much the bitch is making me feel the urge to hate-fuck her silly with her bullshit. And I'm not going to stop until I've impregnated at least a dozen monster babies in the bitchy angel's belly. Moving on from my future plans of potentially making Ariel into a Fallen Angel, I get my focus back to the task at hand.
As for the Key to Apollyon, I was tempted. However, the description itself also hinted that it was possible to obtain it later on through my own efforts. That's definitely something I can try, because I absolutely do not buy that claim of 'too strong to kill'. If they were truly so strong that killing them was impossible, then how the fuck could they imprison them, which should be even more difficult than simply killing them? I immediately knew something was fishy there. The Light's hiding something. But it could wait until later to investigate(and I WOULD investigate once I had the chance).
The two I finally settled on were God's Blow and Mark of Submission. God's Blow was basically an instant-kill finisher technique, one that normally required being a Tier VII class to just use, but this Miracle would give me the reserves required easily just to use it once as a trump card in an emergency far earlier than otherwise. It was also very practical and something I could use in a pinch. As for Mark of Submission, I have a hunch, and want to test a theory about it should my suspicions of Runa Ruya's 'betrayal' hold any weight. I still dislike the idea of slavery, but at the very least this would possibly let me help her while simultaneously giving me a method of keeping enemies from attacking me and mine in the future. It could also be used to help...'convince'...certain parties as an...'incentive'...to prevent them from attacking me. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth to even consider the idea, but needs must when demons drive.
After locking in my choices, Ariel moves on and shows me the dossiers for the leaders of the Dark, and all I have to say is Unholy. Shit. Just how unbalanced did the Light make things with their blatant breaking of said balance? Glowing cocksuckers of Light indeed, Carnachias. Though if my future plans pan out, I'll make that from figurative to literal with Ariel here. Focus. Mind outta the gutter for now.
The first is the current successor to the former Demon King after Runa Ruya's 'redemption'. Demon King Reala. She's apparently a Level 80 Sorceress. and an Archdevil. That's it. She's apparently is the new Demon King in name only as monsters only respect strength and she only got the position through clever politics after Tomoko killed her predecessor and all his strongest lieutenants, resulting in a power vacuum, and they wised up to this fact. Apparently she throws all manner of decadent parties and lavish feasts to try and counter the growing rebellious elements among her forces, but it's not enough and her court mage is the only thing holding her rule from collapsing in upon itself...and apparently she's known for throwing bratty tantrums when things don't go her way. Though from what I gather and based on the picture included in her dossier, I get the impression she's actually very young. Like, maybe barely even a legal adult by Devil standards, young.
She could use some help...maybe even a stick to serve the discipline where the carrot fails to convince them to follow her reign. She's also stacked as hell with a youthful beauty that gives me an instinctive shiver of anticipation.
Next up is said court mage to the said Demon King. Court Mage Leraje. She's a Dark Devil Mage with a dual class of Level 90 Magus of the Stars and a Level 04 Shaman of the Ancients. She's basically a jack of all trades when it comes to magic, capable of summoning spirits, healing, necromancy, and all other magical arts, but specializes in pure unadulterated destruction on a wide scale due to her unique ability(Which I'd call bullshit on, if not for true utter bullshit that is the Saintesses the Light utterly broke the stat sheets on with their bullshit cheats). She can recycle her own magic after casting it. Woman is a literal perpetual motion machine of a walking reusable magical nuke. She's also apparently a hard worker who refuses to delegate when she really needs to and is the overworked banner Reala flaunts about and the sole pillar propping up her reign. They're apparently also childhood friends who served under the previous Demon King together...but she's being overworked into an early grave.
Ariel even said as much and said she'd have liked her more 'if she wasn't a darkie'.
If that's not the highest of praise from the bitchy angel anyone's ever received, then I don't know what is. Also, maybe I could convince her to take a damn break and finally delegate when I finally meet the woman. Dark humor? Acerbic personality? It's like the woman is just begging for me to dick her down real good and force her to rest from the intense breeding I'm planning for her.
Next on the list is the Ancient Dungeon Core. Literally, that is her actual name and title all in one. She's apparently something called a 'Mundus Ex Machina'(it literally means 'Machine of the World'. No, really). And her stats are through the roof, with better mastery over Light magic than Ariel's own(by her own admission, despite how much she said it hurt to say it). Every dungeon in human lands are her creations, and she's basically omniscient with anything happening within them. If it occurs within a Dungeon, more likely than not she knows all about it long before anyone else ever does. Among her authority over the dungeons themselves, she even has the ability to implant a dungoun core into a monster to bestow them the Dungeoun Master Dark Monster power.She's also even older than the Sisters, and has been here since before the two ever set foor on Ruyanei, being over forty thousand years old...and has a massive berserk button that simply mentioning the race responsible for destroying her creators will send her into a rage...and according to Ariel was somehow convinced to work for the very ones responsible for murdering her creators whom she failed to protect.
There are so many fucked up things with this one I don't even know where to start on helping her particular set of mental and emotional problems. Suffice to say, I have the strong and sinking suspicion there's more to the true story than Ariel claims and getting to the bottom of it will end in suffering the complete and utter absolute most epic mother of all migraines getting it.
In other words, this one won't be so fun to deal with...
Next up on the list of Dark leaders is the Nine-Tailed Fox, Orchid. A Level 33 Omnyoji, which as a class makes her skilled as a summoner, illusionist, and warrior all in one. However according to Ariel(and I'm learning NOT to take him completely at his word, and to only do so with a wheel-barrel full of salt), her greatest threat is the fact that she's a highly talented and equally ambitious politician and general, both. Who has already conquered half the far eastern archipelago where samurai, ninjas, and feudal lords exist(basically Ruyanei's version of fantasy world Japan). And that she plans to conquer the mainland and become the new Demon Lord. With the intent of uniting humans and monsters under her rule.
And she says we cannot allow that to happen...ladies and gentlemen, press 'x' to doubt Ariel's dismissal of the supposed neutral faction's existence(I broke the 'x' button smashing it to powder).
Supposedly, her motivation is for what happened to her home village a thousand years ago, having been burnt to the ground and everyone but her killed. I actually had to restrain the urge to just throttle the winged bitch for that whole 'they had it coming' comment. You. Do not. Kill. Children. Ever. There is no excuse, no justification, and absolutely no penance enough to absolve you of committing that particular unforgivable sin. A child is born innocent and pure, something to be protecting for as long as possible. Once that innocence is lost, it's gone for good and never coming back. Ariel's callous remark has drastically tanked my opinion of the winged bitch(and no, I refuse to call her an angel anymore. She has completely lost any right to be called such in my opinion with her behavior).
Suffice to say, if Orchid truly is part of the 'neutral faction', then I'm going to be needing words with her to speak on her plans and how to go about doing so in the future when I get the chance.
After her is the Dossier for a...unique breed of monster girl? The Hornet Empress...Hornet Empress. No, I didn't repeat her race accidentally. That's really her name and her race. Apparently, she's the result of a Hornet Queen taking over hundreds of other hives, and gaining a unique evolution as a result. On top of this, the Hornet Queen's were already very prolific breeders able to produce hundreds of not thousands of Hornet Soldiers a day. When the Sisters boosted monster fertility rates, their population exploded, and this queen bitch became an empress capable of birthing a thousand Hornet Queen Daughters at once, each capable of forming their own hives. Oh, and apparently she also can now reproduce sexually so long as a partner beds her.
...looks like I found the first target to put my Mark of Submission on, just for the sheer population control I'll need to do to keep her in check. Especially since she apparently is arrogant and believes she's equal to the Gods in strength(spoiler alert: she's NOT even close).
And the final dossier for the Dark's leaders of note is none other than Carny's own pope. Halicarnassus, the Carnation Seneschal. She's a Grand Succubus with the dual class of Level 55 Enchantress and Level 14 Distiller of Love. She's supposedly very down to earth, yet is proficient with illusions and peddles in goods that have been roofied to hell and back, thrice over. She's also apparently a known degenerate and deviant willing to fuck anything with a pulse...but is apparently barren. Her entire build is centered around seduction and will drive you into a rut if you don't have any immunities to it at all, and very prideful about devil culture and traditions.
The moment I read 'peddles drugged goods', 'fucks anything with a pulse, consent not required', and 'barren' I immediately knew what my first target to seek out would be. All I will say is this, Hali's gonna be a mommy by the time I finish with her. No 'if's, 'and's, or 'but's about it. Suffice to say, it'll be one hell of a trip, and I have zero plans on abstaining from that amusement park ride. Life and Death Elements will take care of any STD's she might have, too.
"So, this is it. I can't keep you any longer without those two noticing, but I'm sure I've changed your mind about the whole rape monster business. I'm me, after all! And in case you still plan on helping those two perverts, just remember one thing."
Ariel started speaking as I finally began to fade away and hopefully enter Ruyanei proper this time as she speaks once more and I felt the need to make a final comment as I left...
"The good guys always win! See ya!"
...only for me to speak a single sentence that completely derailed the winged bitch's overblown ego...
"And who ever said the Light is automatically 'the good guys'?"
"Wha-"
