Dreamworld
You are Tristain d’Rusalka, newly appointed regent of the Sorcerer Kingdom of Morfis. After having emerged victorious in a tournament consisting of the strongest warriors of the known world, you had earned the right to marry Princess Yulia Xan Phanes, ruler of Morfis. At least, that was what you thought. But upon finally meeting the mysterious princess, she’d revealed that one final task remained before you would be allowed to wed. You must defeat the Four Royal Sages, who’d usurped much of her power and who seek to open the dreaded gates of Tartarus.Having been granted the authority to make decisions regarding Morfis’ future, you currently rule from the Royal Palace, alongside your cousin and Prime Minister, Bronte. However, the so-far short reign of the “Sorcerer Regent” has been plagued with turmoil. Immediately upon assuming power, you were forced to contend with one emergency after another.>Tristain d’Rusalka>Level 46 King (EXP: 20/100)HP: 88/88 (120%)Strength: 47 (65%)Magic: 35 (40%)Speed: 37 (30%)Defense: 40 (60%)Resistance: 36 (40%)Luck: 38 (55%)>Skills: Comment too long.

>>6443162>Was it even theoretically possible to convince him that Nicon was genuine in his faith No. Nicon (Nixon as my fucking word document keeps correcting his name too) has Agarthan blood, and Ernest operates on a one drop rule. Nicon could recite the entire holy text of Seiros and Ernest would still smash his head open. Cooperating with Marek from the beginning or at least being more open to his suggestions COULD have potentially led to teaming up with Ernest, but his intentions would always be to destroy Morfis. Even Marek was just a tool for him. The Morfisians are not children of the Goddess, so while Ernest may think their devotion is cute, it ultimately means nothing to him.>Also, what was his "super cool Sage ability"? You wouldn’t be able to counterattack him and he could summon doubles.>Let`s imagine that Tristain knocked out to 0 and stops resisting during "final 8" of he tournament. Who among the contestants would have finished him and who would not have?Arios and Leonora would kill him. Butch as well but more out of not being able to hold himself back rather than any malice.>And, finally, what would Yulia reaction be if the winner ended up being a woman?She’d probably still try to make it work. Yulia is Herosexual. If you’re a noble and valiant man or woman with a heart of gold and who fights for good, she’d find you attractive/
>>6443241>1st questionCorrect on the previous fronts. The Companions and the knights would have just fought harder and taken fewer casualties.>ContractYou would have been magically compelled to open Tartarus within three weeks of victory or face death.>Sage ParleyThem calling you a n00b and a bit of a hint that Nicon would be up to some shady shit.>AlvinAlvin’s goal was to minimize casualties while still having Tartarus open. He was perfectly willing to sandbag while the Sages were not on the field and let you pick them off one by one while Nicon went through the backdoor.>Accusing NiconWithout proof, probably none. They’d have dismissed your ramblings as those of a madman.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>6444276>No. He was behind much of the corruption in the Yasha, and also helped cover up blowing up the Food Hub.Then we didn`t miss out, Being obliterating by a giant rock feels like a fitting end for covering up actions that caused food shortage.>but I never expected him to join the team anyway!Hell, Tristain just that charismatic! (Please ignore the part where Lycus explicitly joined to screw over Nicon).Actually, was Lycus to survive, would he remain thorn in Yulia and Tristain side even after "saving Morfis"and would plot something evil as a finishing touch to the quest or would he quitely accept punishment as long as this punishment ended up being reasonably merciful?>You would have been magically compelled to open Tartarus within three weeks of victory or face death.>She signed the contract, so she would have told you what the deal with it was.Is anyone else among notable competitors signed this contract? Also, did Leonora signed it with full knowledge and willingly, or were told of translation after? It just, while this is not that bad of a contract, it LOOKS way worse then it is.

>>6444268>Yulia is Herosexual. If you’re a noble and valiant man or woman with a heart of gold and who fights for good, she’d find you attractive/lol, so NOT Leonora or Saoirse
>>6444313Lycus would probably fall in line. He's not stupid, he knows when he's beat. Whether he'd remain loyal forever though is a different matter. If Tristain slipped up, I could see him plotting something.>>6444313>Is anyone else among notable competitors signed this contractHaving received aid during the 3rd round, Leonora needed less compulsion, so the contract she signed was not as severe. She also fucked off the second the siege was lifted. You likely won't be seeing her again.I appreciate you saying that about Ernest. My biggest issue with Anacharsis was you don't really see much of him. He pops up briefly during the beginning of the quest, and then with the exception of an interlude, you don't meet him again until the very last thread. With Ernest, even though he was sealed, I wanted to have him at least present in the background as this massive existential threat to Morfis. The "final boss" changed a lot throughout the course of this quest in my head. When I have my thoughts more put together, I'll talk about it in the last thread. What I will say is that making an interesting main antagonist was more difficult than I first realized. Someone like Klement who people seem to like works because you see him enough in Thread #4 for him to actually antagonize you throughout the course of your interactions.Also Ernest took damage because he wasn't paying attention. So long as he's paying attention, he can keep his Crest on. He doesn't have it perpetually running though, so sneak attacks can sometimes hurt him.>>6444417She would probably still give them a chance! She'd just be disappointed sooner than later lol.

For too long, humanity has trembled in fear of the dark.Monsters from the depths below have, for as long as humankind could remember, ruled the caverns and ran rampant through the shadows of night. Beasts of claw and fang tore and devoured, ruthless daemons, monsters beyond flesh, bore the power to render even our fortress cities little more than rubble, and perhaps worst of all, the Abysskin, some weak and sly, others so mighty that they can deny even the sun to their surface lands, used mysterious sorcery to overwhelm the forces of man. For generations untold, we were powerless to resist, only the holy light of the Sun and Moon granting respite from that unbeatable terror. There was no compromise, no mercy, and no potential for negotiation. Because of their magicks and impossible might, outside the daylight there was only blood.Until, that is, humankind themselves gained that arcane might. The Hierophants, long suffering in their seemingly futile attempt to even the playing field, finally created magic that humans could use. Glyphs, taken from the language of the Abyss but sanctified for human use by the glory of the Lights Above, allowed us to fight back, first only enough to defend ourselves on those moonless, cloudy nights, then enough to press the attack, to eradicate the beasts and daemons and drive the Abysskin back into the caverns below. We could construct mines, steal the bounties of steel and crystals blessed by the grand mana swirling at the core of the world, and pursue industry. From the freed farmlands, enough food could be grown to eradicate famine, advance the common good, and allow people to finally pursue the arts and entertainment. Sunfire streetlamps lined every city and town, repelling monsters with their radiance, and great barriers were woven into the bulwarks of the fortress-cities, stopping even the mightiest beast dead in its tracks. The Hierophants are a mysterious, shadowy lot, few in number and utterly opaque, so much of the fighting has been left to Magecorps, some at the service of their nations, and others rag-tag guilds of mercenaries. You and your compatriots belong to one such group, a guild, subsidized only mildly by the Republic from which you hail, determined to find wealth, glory, and honor in the caverns below. Officially, you’re a “Subsidiary Tower” of the Hierophant's Grand Order, but the people, high and low, call you something else. To the world, you are Spelldivers.

In this quest, we take the reins of Vegeta, Prince of all Saiyans, in his quest to reunite the Saiyan race and oppose the rule of the perfidious Frieza and his Cold Empire. After four years of hiatus, I return.== Archive==https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?tags=KingQM== Recap of our situation ==Vegeta and his crew have learned of a station used by the Saiyan resistance, a group formed soon after the destruction of planet Vegeta, over twenty years ago. While the station is derelict, it hosts intel and devices that could prove useful to the aims of the Prince. The Capsule Corp. Saiyan Spacebase Mark II crewed with Vegeta, Nappa, Turles, Raditz, the newly rescued Saiyans Kalabash and Calava, and the ship’s pilot and engineer, the human Bulma Brief, departed for Sadala Station and found it overrun by space pirates led by the mighty captain Zodd.Following tense negotiations, Vegeta and Zodd began a one-on-one duel to settle who would keep authority over the station. The battle continues…

Hello, sorry for no feedback.I've archived the thread in suptg. Just noticed how close I was to fucking this up and losing the thread, insert image of sweating dude here.https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?tags=KingQMAfter I came back from my vacations, work took me over and I got the news that I'm getting a surgery this week (it's a really simple one, no risk, so no worries), plus a lot of real life stuff to take care of. Since the QM curse decided to get a chokehold on me right now, I'll be going on a hiatus until I can dedicate enough time to writing the quest. 1 update a day is quite a bit of work every day and it's the pace I want to keep, but with surgery recovery and high workload in summer, I may have to delay my return until September.I'd like to extend a big fat thanks and hug to my dear anons who followed up with this quest for 2 whole months through thick and thin. You guys are the GOATs. I hope you enjoyed the ride and will see you soon. Your deity of choice bless you, kiss your loved ones, and enjoy your summer.So yeah, thank you!!Stupid post-data: being able to announce that I'm taking a hiatus feels like a big step for me. I've always felt shame when I can't continue a quest and that made me disappear without any prior warning. This is my redemption!!

In the closing decades of the thirteenth century, a new power had arisen and proved to be able to assert itself in northeastern Argalis. Greifswald would presumably end the century very differently than it began. From a semi-backwater to a kingdom more than able to stand up to and defeat both greater and lesser powers. This rise was enabled in large part due to the family, which had been able to grow their fortunes from the beginning of the century.Were one to ask an informed nobleman at the start of the thirteenth century about the house of Adlershorst, he would, if he weren't a Tauten, look at you with confusion, and, even if he were a Tauten, there was no guarantee that he would be aware of this obscure family, whose fate it would be to dwell in their swamp fief as the years dragged by.Halfway through the century, such sentiment would still be common, though the closer one got to the then-incomplete Greifswald, the more one would hear of them. A count turned warlord turned duke, with the aid of his great-uncle, a crusader who became a bishop. They changed the course of history, for with them the north of Greifswald was torn away from the monastic orderstate, and turned into a monarchy.It would take another twenty years or so before the rest of Greifswald came under Good King Dietrich's sceptre, and he was crowned as king.Another twenty years later, and the young kingdom doesn't seem so young any more. After Dietrich came Albrecht, known to the Greifswalder history books as the crusader king. (even if he wasn't actually a king at the time.)Good King Albrecht likewise had overseen an even greater expansion. Wresting control over three great islands, thereby tilting the balance of power in favour of a kingdom which hadn't existed at the beginning of the century.It is King Albrecht, perhaps more so than King Dietrich, who built the foundations for what was to come. All across the continent, the crowned heads turned their gaze towards the future, which seemed bright and full of promise.Dissenting opinion, coming from those who attempted to piece together that which may yet come to pass, warned of ill omens lurking just beyond the horizon. These were easily dismissed, for none could give an accurate timetable for when these supposed calamities would occur.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

Your name is Vincent Cruz. You work in a shady government-backed facility in the middle of the New Mexico desert. By all accounts, you are a complete and total nobody to the Powers That Be. To them, your only value comes from how profitable your research is.You're a researcher for the Abnormality Regulation Coalition (also known as ARC), but it's really not what you're good at. You were a random accountant before they dragged you into an underground facility that's hundreds of feet underground. Their standards must be low if they kidnapped someone like you.On the bright side, you've been making good progress with all of the anomalies you've been researching. Maybe that's why they hired you? You have a knack with anomalies and their ARTIFACTS. You were told anomalies were born from human ideas and concepts, so maybe this is just you trying to help anything resembling a human? Who knows.All you know is that it's what you're good at, and that alone is enough to keep you going. One day at a time. No matter what gets thrown your way, you'll find a way to handle it.As for what happened recently?NOWHERE'S SOMMELIER's condition is starting to rapidly deteriorate. It seems to be the inevitable fate of anomalies once you get to truly understand them. You're trying your best to stabilize her condition.Your cat, EL FELINO, exploded. In its place, you were left with an anomaly named LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE, who has set out to do everything in its power to make your life miserable.

The Dark Lord has lost, defeated by the Heroes. Where once there was a mighty empire, now there is only cursed land, waiting to be reclaimed and subjugated by the powers of light, and scattered monsters prowling aimlessly and trying to survive.You are a demon. The mental shackles subjugating your mind to your superiors have been broken in the chaos following the dark forces' complete defeat, and now you're free to act out of your own will.And you sure as fuck don't know where to go from here.You are one of the weakest demons, but even in your current form, you can take on several humans, untrained or with low fighting experience, and win.You derive your power from the souls you collect by slaying humans, elves and other sapient beings. You can spend them to strengthen yourself. Besides regular souls, beings of great power and heroes possess greater souls, which you'll need once you grow sufficiently powerful.Besides souls, you have equipment, objects you will need to gather resources and a skilled craftsman to make for you. Currently, you do not know any, but you will meet some as you explore. Generally speaking, looted equipment is made for people of other races and skillsets, so you will need custom-made pieces the vast majority of the time. You can, however, salvage or modify existing equipment to fit yourself. It would still require some resources and a craftsman, however.Finally, there's your base. Currently, you don't have one, but in the future, creating a place from where to mount expeditions to far lands, house your partners, be they companions or craftsmen, and retreat to and rest in, will be important.OPPORTUNITY LISTComment too long.

There's a tale of a demon that defeated a Lord of Hell.Amid another invasion of the mortal plane, rumours of a stranger passing through the cursed land appeared. A stranger that, when fighting with his companions, was undefeatable. The Lord of Hell thought himself superior, but had to subjugate the stranger himself after his commanders failed to do so.The Lord was slain. It is not known where the stranger demon's strength was coming from. Perhaps it is the runic blade, forged by a master smith after painstakingly learning the magic symbols from a dwarf captive turned friend? Or was it the wards, layers of mighty magic placed to guard a witch's allies from any harm that may befall them? Or was it the indomitable mind, nourished by thousands of souls slain, unyielding even to the Lord's command? Maybe the dozen other companions offering what they can, standing up to dangers that they wouldn't have been able to face alone?It is not known to others. But the truth is known to you. There is no need to share it, though.You travel with a party of friends, and that's all that's important.
=====Some notes:I generally didn't plan out much and was improvising most of the time.The notes I did make were for Bar'dagol and Rivia.Bar'dagol's plot was supposed to be about improving his craft and recognising the other races' strengths. He considered demons superior in all ways to other beings, as you may guess from his words, but as he learned elven, dwarven, and other smithing techniques and interacted with party members, he would change his beliefs to be more accepting (at least to those he may consider allies). He would also become a bit calmer and more patient (though I guess his bad temper didn't show up much in the quest).Rivia's backstory was that she was rejected by a magic academy in the past and turned to witchcraft, joining a coven of the Dark to find somewhere to belong. Her plotline would be her becoming more independent and learning to find purpose in her craft and setting her own goals rather than blindly helping and clinging to others. One trait I wanted to give her is a kind of melancholic worldview where she often would insert poetic comparisons or expressions in her speech, but this only really happened once so far, again we didn't get to these parts because the quest hasn't advanced much.The sudden rise of spirits of the dead was supposed to end next "turn". Other events I had planned were meeting a dark knight and rescuing him from toadmen traps. He would share some info about a beastmen migration. The knight was going north, like the Seer, to escape the forces of Light. There were also plans about an encounter with elven scouts that were scouting the land in preparation for reclaiming it, and an encounter with a party of lesser heroes that you could engage in diplomacy with.Another NPC you could recruit in the near future was a water nymph held captive by tower demons, and you also could talk to dryads if you chose to help Krokrok.Comment too long.

Ok, I think that's all. Last thing I will say is I'm surprised at the amount of comments attached to votes I was receiving. I was very glad to see this. I feel like with how patient and engaging you guys were, I didn't really deserve this kind of players considering my fucked update times and general skill in quest running.I'll get my shit together and run more quests in the future with more consistent updates, maybe I'll see you there.

''He was many a thing to many a person. The wise mentor, who helped the hero on his way; the able wizard, always able to conjure up new tricks and spells; the trustworthy advisor, there to guide the king or queen on their way to greatness; the beloved courtier, whose suggestions always won favour at court; the loyal friend, who stood by through thick and thin; the compassionate healer, who tended to the sick and wounded with care and skill. All of these were masks in one way or the other, and though many spoke of him, none knew him.He was a king, a priest, a merchant and a sorcerer, and yet he was also the dirty man toiling in the fields and the cutthroat lurking in the alleyway. A thousand roles, and yet he always came back with another: the elven prince, the dwarven master craftsman, the orc warchief, the hooded stranger. He was the priest of the sun god in the sweltering jungles of the south and the incarnation of the winter king in the taiga of the frigid north.But what lay beneath? But a malevolence unrivalled, a desire to impose order upon all life, to make this world rigid and unyielding to his whims. And he played his parts well; sometimes he arose, deceived a people into worshipping him, and made their land, their people, and their culture but a part of his vision.Coalition-building might have been his true strength, both in his favour and against him. His efforts led him far, building an empire that stretched from the jungles over the deserts and steppes to the ice caps. From east to west, from north to south, nowhere was truly safe from his reach.And at the centre of it all lay a place most desolate, a blighted landscape, where nought stood but a dark tower. Here he planned, coordinated, plotted and sat upon his throne, in between leading his dark hosts or going out to conduct his eldritch plans and rituals elsewhere.'' https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?tags=The%20Shadow%20Rises%20AnewThe deed was done; a rebellion had been squashed once again, their cavern home rendered uninhabitable by your own toxic fumes. Part of you had wished to crawl through, rip the little leader from his hiding hole, and eat him wholesale.But you elected not to; no, instead you made certain that if there were those who had survived, they would never see the sky again, nor would they hew their way out, for you melted the stone shut. When you finally got out of the caverns, the mountain partially caved in, sealing off any chance of escape for the rebels.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

With the Tournament of Power brought to a close, the Seventh Universe has emerged triumphant once more. Led by the Saiyan warriors, the Seventh's victory was secured. And with the wish on the Super Dragon Balls used to restore the other universes that were eliminated and erased, the final hidden trial was passed, and all eight of the universes up for elimination were allowed to remain. Yet, even with this victory, peace doesn't last in the Seventh Universe for long. As old hatreds rise and long-buried grudges resurface, will you have what it takes to keep everything you've worked the last 28 years of your life to build? Or will those who seek your end ultimately triumph? That all depends on you, and your choices.You the players will (most often) control Karn. A Saiyan man who has grown from his lowly beginnings as a mid-tier Saiyan Brawler with a sub-3000 powerlevel in Age 733 to become not only the strongest Saiyan of his time at AGE 759, but also personal friend to the former emperor Lord Freeza, father to over a dozen powerful and unique children, a mentor and teacher to his fellow Saiyans, and the indisputable winner of the Tournament of Power. Wielder of the Berserker Soul, and the powerful Stand Divine Dragon Force, you're fully equipped to handle any threat that comes your way. But what will you do when the threats aren't always physical, when you can't simply punch all your problems away?Character sheets and other info: https://controlc.com/46ec566dhttps://pastebin.com/u/GrandDragonQMArchive:http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?searchall=Saiyan+Conqueror+QuestHelp fund quest art commissions and get exclusive side stories as well as artwork by joining the patreon for only $1/month at https://www.patreon.com/GrandDragonQMQuest rules are as follows(unless otherwise noted):>30 minute vote times>Pick ONLY ONE option when voting>Dice rolls are all best of three correctly-rolled diceComment too long.

>>6402612>as you open your eyes, everything disappears. Your eyes filled with absolute nothingness, before suddenly that nothing becomes something, and you see it. See what Mechikabura had vaguely explained to you, and as you stare at the impossible beingWhen it comes to finding Karn in this insane place. I think Ace might be able to do it.
Soon>>6403377Best not to consider it and ensure it doesn't happen.Perhaps. Or perhaps she had a teacher?It is not of reality, and doesn't follow its rules.Absolutely not.Yeah, trying to step beyond the veil and its consequences is interesting. Almost as if something or someone's done their best to insulate reality from the things beyond.Good question. Better question is where ISN'T Karn? And the answer is inside reality.You'll still be Karn.That's a bit of a cut on Xenoverse lore. As you enter character creator, Trunks making the wish, Shenron says:"Someone summons you, from a land far away... Brave warrior! Now, come forth!"Shenron didn't CREATE Ace, he summoned him.Puddin is powerful, that's for sure.>>6403379Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

You come into the world on a cold morning in a room that used to be a storehouse.Your mother bleeds on a straw mattress while the midwife works between her legs and your father prays in the hall. He prays standing. Kneeling is hard for him now. His left leg was shattered below the knee two years ago by a mace blow at the siege of Chauvency, and the bone never quite set the right way. He does not limp so much as lurch. He was captured in that same battle, dragged from under his dead horse, and held for a ransom that cost him everything. Everything. The silver plate. The grain stores. The warhorses, all three. The income from two villages, pledged to the abbey of St. Rémy for six years. And the castle -- your great-great-grandfather's castle, the seat of the family for five generations -- signed over to the man who captured him. Sire Gérard de Valenne, who lives there now with his wife and children and hounds, and who nods to your father at mass on Sundays with the faintly superior courtesy reserved for men one has ruined.There is only the manor house now. Stone foundations, timber above, a leaking roof your father lacks the constitution or the silver to mend. A mere forty souls in the village depend on upon him. Yet he serves them well. He hears their complaints, settles their quarrels, forgives their debts even when he shouldn't. The old servants, the ones who knew him from his boyhood and followed him from the relinquished castle, say he is a different man since the siege. They mean it as praise. Certainly, your mother found a new depth of love for him in his weakness, his humiliation. You were, perhaps, the product of it. The midwife holds you up, still bloody, and you scream.She carries you to the hall, where your father turns from his prayers. He takes you in his arms -- carefully, because his grip is not what it once was -- and studies your face with grave attention, as though your destiny were writ in the lines above your eyes and he alone the augur who could decipher them. The midwife watches too. So does old Agnès, your mother's woman, who has opinions about everything and a liberty to air them that could only come from long, trusted service.Naturally, it is Agnès who breaks the peace.>She says you have your father's jaw, set firm, even now, as though daring the world to move you. A proud nature.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

Rest in peace
>>6403396>Take Geoffroi's hand warmly, and let the draw stand as peace between you.Still hoping for a revival, really liked the writing of this one
Yeah, same. Was pretty promising back then.
>Finished reading>dedShame, i really liked what i read
This is a world of bloodthirsty monsters, ever hungry cannibals, bandits, brutal slavers. Wild beasts rule the deserts and plains, survival alone is a grueling struggle. Not even the strong can make it here in this desolate place.There's no history or record of what it was or how it came to be, there's only survival.Your beginnings will be no different. You will not be the chosen one. You’re not great and powerful. You are not the center of the universe, and you are not special. Unless you work for it.Each choice will take you to a part of the world, it will not be safe nor you will find allies nearby. Choose. >The Holy Sword (Not all treasure is worth keeping. Someone's going to be missing this.)>Rock Bottom (Alone, unarmed, naked and hungry. Rock bottom in the middle of the desert. )>The Slave (Just another slave working in the pits digging rocks and metal to build a pointless statue.)
"If you're hurting for muscle bad enough to be offering me a job, I'd say you three are probably fucked." You start. Your gaze falls on the bonedog that's now sniffing around your left ankle. You lift the foot to nudge him away. "You four." "That's Beef Supreme." Says Dog-Spit, as if it were a perfectly obvious name for the drooling hound. At the words, it trots back over to its master and circles him a few times happily. By the size and scars of the thing, you'd say it must be a full grown adult, but you've seen them grow to be much bigger. You scrunch your nose and lower your blade slightly... then slide it back into its sheath. "Well... Fucked or not, I could use the cats. I'll join up now. But I ain't taking orders from a buncha bandits pups fresh off of an ass-beating. You can organize yourselves how you like, but I'm here on even terms. I want a quarter of the income. I'm keeping my sword." You say these things as fact, but cock an eyebrow at the end as if to question the trio. There's a pause. The wind whirls dust around your feet and breezes between you and the others. Dog-Spit nods. "Alright. You're in." You cross your arms. "Great." Another pause. "What now?" You ask. Comment too long.

>>6409266>Mongrel, eh? All those old wives tales about monsters in the mist are nonsense. I had a duel with Arc once... Was a different man then. Different time. Curious to see how the years have treated him...
