With the majority of the Seventh Universe united under the banner of the PTO, Emperor Cooler at its head, the universe has known a time of unrivaled peace. But in the shadows threats have been growing, nursing grudges against the PTO and the Saiyan race in particular. And now those threats are rising, stepping out of the shadows to openly challenge the established order. Seeking nothing short of the destruction of New Salda and the extinction of the entire Saiyan race, can you prevent this outcome? Or will the Saiyan race be reduced to nothing more than memories, their heroes nothing more than ink in the pages of the history books?You the players will (most often) control Karn; wielder of the mighty Berserker Soul and hope of the entire PTO, not only the Saiyan race. From his lowly beginnings as a Saiyan Brawler with a sub-3000 powerlevel in Age 733, only a few years into his time as a member of the PTO, he has grown in power and skill, overcoming the world-ending threats that have come for the Saiyans to become the strongest Saiyan of his time at AGE 758. From the massive Covenant empire to demonic incursions, mad cultists to vengeful gods, none have been strong or clever enough to put down Karn for good. But will one man's power be enough to protect everyone from the rising threats? Or will death come from those who you least expect it from? Your choices may mean the difference between survival and extinction, so choose carefully.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 votingComment too long.

>>6116842>To put it in game terms, I like to think of Chili as the "mid game" boss that is there to ensure you can actually play the game and aren't just cheesing.In other words, he's the noob filter of the SCQ foodchain?
>>6116842Not quite. He's like an optional secret boss who doesn't play by the game's 'normal' mechanics like the other Saiyans and ends up being either insanely difficult or just a difficult boss depending on level and gear. Imagine a Bloodborne boss in the first Dark Souls, or a zoner like Fighterz Freeza or Super Baby 2 getting transported into tekken or street fighter with all of their zoner ranged abilities grab combos, parry and super dash. He just has options you don't.>stat checkNo, Karn is more the skill check on top of a hyper-lethal battle, demanding you not give him an opening. If he gets you, you're done.>>6116881>noob filterWould have to sit and think on this. Only using the quest's original characters, or the ones who have been significantly altered by quest events, maybe Maza or Broly? Turles would just be an attrition match, your attacks doing little damage. Chaya could be a good 'alright easy mode's over now, we're moving up into the real threats' tier decider. Because once you get past her level of power it's only VERY strong beings above her. Karn, Meloka, Freeza and Cooler, Caulifla...

I mean, sure things aren't as great as they used to be, but it's not about that. We can't let ourselves get dragged down by nostalgia. It's about making up a new nostalgia. It's about moving forwards while also looking back at yourself as current ancestor. It's about a lot of things. Half-price hot pockets for one. Maybe some coffee as well. But what kind of coffee? Don't get distracted. You have work to do. Don't forget the work. Never forget the work. As long as you focus on the work then things can still turn out okay. It's not about you.

Last year you moved to the small town of Bucoda, about 15 miles outside of Olympia in the State of Washington. Something weird happened. Well, it was a few months after you moved, and well, you saw a dinosaur ghost. You ran away. That night, the night you saw the dinosaur ghost, the earthquake struck that destroyed Bucoda entirely, so I guess you’ll never know what was going on. And honestly? I’m glad.

Done as another 'proof of concept' quest, but with lower-quality art using the painter so as to give more regular responses.---Your name is Hope Bernice Jr., you're a 28-year-old lady restaurateur, and you're FUCKED.Before you were spit out of a test tube, your mother, Hope Bernice Sr., decided she wanted a clone to take over the 'family business', [u]Hope Home Cooking[/u]. That clone, of course, was you. You didn't really want to yourself- you were hoping you would break it big in the corporate scene. Any job would have worked, just to get out of the hell that was Mossless Stone. It's certainly not mossless, but otherwise, there's no green at all in this ever-moving city.No matter how hard you worked or tried, though, there was no climbing up any of those ladders. Even the desperate ploy of offering yourself as a kind of concubine didn't work- your nature as a clone cost you a head of height and ten years or more off your lifespan. Most fetishists with the money to spend spend it on virtual reality, to avoid the judgmental looks and awkward conversations.After all of your options got cut down to the bone, you had to take over after all, crawling back to this shitty countertop spot that pretends to be a homey old-time diner but only has four seats. They're all diner-style barstools that provide two feet of eating space, with their backs to the street. There's rain cover, which is the only reason anyone would actually bother to sit down here besides abject starvation condition.Thankfully, your mother is dead, so now you don't have to hear her screaming in your ear about how you're a failure of an inheritor. Unfortunately, your mother is dead, and that means that you're going to have to make this fucking place run all on your own. Also, she was a foot taller than you, which means you need to drag around a stepstool to do most of her jobs, which includes everything from taking orders to moving supplies to actually cooking the food. You're probably going to have to hire someone eventually, but you can't afford that right now.In fact, you can't afford almost anything- you exist at the mercy of the corpo-government, which technically owns 'your' business. You're a franchisee of [u]Smiling Days Food Services™[/u]. Just to further kick you in the beans, most of your meat is supplied from failed clones- after all, clones are property, and they don't give a fuck about ethics. They were who Mom bought you from, and they put a device at the base of your skull that uploads artificially expedited training. It doubles as a phone and could theoretically be used as a kill switch or control your body like a puppet. Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

Genre: Low Fantasy, Adventure, Romance, ActionTHEME: War, Monster, Incest, DeathOnce upon a time, in a dark chamber of a filthy dungeon, there lived an abomination born among humans – you!Your first home was a parish in a small village, where you and the old priest took care of each other. There was also a woman who visited the chapel frequently, bringing things for you.But some accidents in your youth culminated in your expulsion and made the old mausoleum in the Zold Viz swamp your new home. You can’t leave the ruins, and you survive like an underground animal.>++++sufferingSometimes, humans pass by in search of treasures, and you let them venture further into the dungeon, only for them to be killed in the next rooms.

A website that allegedly grants you the ability to resurrect the dead… Such a thing could never exist but…What if it did? What would you give to bring back someone who died?Would you be willing to squash the hopes of others with a similar dream?This is the story of those foolish humans who attempted to do just that, and the wicked beasts that prey on their naivety. *************DIGIMON: Dead Site is an interactive narrative based on the Digimon media franchise. This story does not take place in any particular continuity, and will not necessarily follow every rule set forth by existing works. This author is more concerned with writing a fun and engaging story adjacent to a franchise that I have enjoyed since childhood, than writing plausible fanfiction that slides perfectly into canon.Comment too long.

You are L2S Trollslayer Fiona Jarnafeldt, and you have a very simple job today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czUaNaDjK9kUnless you have surprise assignments to suppress escaped monsters that are researched for their exotic physiology, scour the wilds in search of illegal tunnels into the stormdrains underneath the rainy city of Helsinki where thousands of excess humans gather to survive, or test esoteric technologies that are powered by your own biological processes created at the behest of the director of the Stormwatch, you have a very simple day ahead of you. As Winter comes, so does the march of Helsinki’s Stormwatch against the underground city of squatters that lurk underneath the pristine, clean, and self-sufficient city. And while the nation of Helsinki is well equipped to commit a total pogrom with advanced weaponry, regulations on gas emissions by the global environmental regulating body, Mother Nature’s Providence, enforce that the city be taken by boots on the ground with bladed weapons in hand made from entirely recyclable materials.And you have been assured this is the biggest opportunity you have to earn an L3 position. With L3 comes the rights that those in the past used to enjoy; the right to start a family, mainly. You are, haha, incredibly lonely. You see things, sometimes. A child of yours, yet to be.To make this attack possible, a great understanding of the city’s current layout, population, and demographics have to be taken. Rather than rely on vision from easily sabotaged cameras, this strange thing called “WiFi” can be used to detect people through walls with comparable quality to thermal imaging. This can be used to scan the current physical layout of the Undercity, and establish its current capacity of fighting-age adults and any trained - or even consciously cooperative - aberrations.

On a small island island chaos reins as many bronze age city states fight over supremacy.Can you bring peace to the land with cunning, plotting, and risk-taking? Can vanquish your enemies, solve crises, and unite the people?Players will control the same character, and actions will decided with consensus, the first action to get seconded will be carried.The lore details will expanded when relevant, but this setting does not have magic.

Those filthy Castrians disturbed the peace of your brother's reign by marching on Donura and besieging it.">"Our grandfather marched to relieve the siege, but that might not be sufficient, supposedly the Castrian army is formidable.">"He took with him, most fighting men we had, only leaving me a meager 100 men to manage this city in their absence.">"But I became afraid the many Castrians migrants here would be boldened to revolt if Donura would fall, so yesterday, I decided to purge the Castrians within Cinsura,">"Unfortunately, some 500 managed to escape into the mountains, and I'm beginning to fear they might return with revenge.">"What do you reckon we should do?"
This quest takes place in a near future hypercapitalist reality where you are a nihilistic man just trying to get by. However, your life is turned upside down when you are told you have what is essentially psychic powers. I have never made a quest before and I'm not sure if people are gonna be interested since this is OC and I cannot draw. That being said I'll set the scene and if you guys are interested please reply with what you do next. I will pick the option I think is most interesting.>Your name is Tobias Lee. You work on the docks in the midsize Cellophane city. You're a college drop out and spend most of your time smoking weed and dicking around with your coworkers.>You had big dreams of academic success when you were younger, but the stress of trying to get ahead in life was too much for you. Your life is simpler but it still sucks ass.>The city is filled with homeless people, crime and sleazy salesmen. You repeat this to yourself mentally while trying to tune out whatever the woman in front of you is trying to say. She doesn't look particularly shady, but nobody normal puts on business casual clothing while following a guy around in a parking lot complex.>You just got off work too. After quickly getting baked that is. You're trying to get on your scooter and go home but this lady just won't stop talking. To make matters worse, she grabs your wrist and starts shouting.

The moment causes you to focus more on your surroundings.>"Sir... Sir! This is a lawful order... comply">You're not interested in what she has to say though. It's getting dark and you don't want to be accosted even more today. You shout some combination of profanity and "get off me" but it comes out a little more slurred than you would like. You don't feel very good and are starting to wonder if you were laced.>This is unimportant though, as you hurry to your bike and drive down to the next floor of the parking complex. However, there is a man in sweatpants and a wife beater standing there with a smirk and his arms folded. He's a little short, muscular and his buzzcut is dyed white. Judging by his knuckle tattoos and the fact that he (along with some orange road barricades) are blocking the exit, you suspect he is that woman's contingency plan. This dude seems intent on blocking your path. What do you do?

If you liked this quest here are some recommendations for similar stuff. All of them have an english version of some kind:BOOKS/QUESTSVermis - Most of the pictures from this quest are taken from here. There are two books in the series, you can find them on archive org.Unteralterboot - My previous quest. Content Warning: Anime Cringe. Kind of embarrassing in retrospect, but it was fun. I flaked from it, which I'm not proud of, but in retrospect I think it reached a decent ending scene with the Paris chapter.https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/2023/5851424/Árvácska - Old hungarian book about a naked little orphan girl travelling the countryside. She behaves very accurately to real life, something I appreciate in this age of "uwu lolis" that don't act like real children at all. It gets very dark, but I would still consider it a children's book. There is also a movie version (see below).MOVIES/SHOWSMade in Abyss - Big recommendation. Dark Fantasy with Children. Excellent setting. But it does have the same problem as all other Animes: There are Traps, Shotas, a Mommy character, and all that crap. The cute Lolis and Furries make up for it.Comment too long.

Would we have continued to play as a blood hunter/hopeless adventurer?You'd be shocked how little I planned ahead. When I started the quest I only knew that I wanted the reveal at the end of the first day, that you were actually an assassin sent to kill someone.But I never expected anyone to actually vote for that option.If it did happen I would have continued anyway, probably, but the quest would have become much more grimdark and pointless instead of this kind of hopeful ending. Just dungeon delving until you roll badly or die or something like that lol>Ah, I remember this. Nazi lolis in the navy, right? Never actually participated, just skimmed.Yeah. Actually had a lot more voters, strangely.

You wake up. This is the cause of no small distress. In the first place, ships don’t, as a rule, wake up. They don’t have eyes or limbs or skin either. But looking down with your newfound eyes, you have a body that is by all appearances human, warm and soft and pink and squishy but firm underneath, with a great mass of thick navy-blue hair falling down to your chest. You are dressed in a rather tight-fitting white officer’s summer slack shirt and a black skirt open up the sides to your waist, with black leggings underneath and polished black shoes on your feet. Although hard to judge without a reference, your proportions suggest you are quite tall, as tall as anyone that had sailed among your crew. In the second place, you should be dead. Your last memory - or log entry, at any rate - is from February 3rd 2017, the day of your final decommissioning. Yet, as you listen to the GPS satellites orbiting far overhead, they say that the time is 0742 1st August 2027. What the hell was going on? Had you been repaired and recommissioned? No, that couldn’t be - even if the USN were in the most extraordinarily dire need it would still have been easier to build a brand-new diesel carrier than try to recommission an old nuc tub like you, assuming you hadn’t been scrapped entirely by now, and at any rate not even Uncle Sam's most ingenious contractors could turn 95,000 tons of steel into something the size of a normal human. Even so, here you are, alive, and you can still feel your hull, somehow impossibly compressed into this new body. All systems were nominal, reactors newly-fuelled, all airframes fresh and in flying condition, armoury, fuel bunkers, and stores all full. In fact, you felt good, better than you can remember feeling since, well, maybe ever. There wasn’t a spot of rust or squeaking hinge or missing fleck of paint anywhere. You’re definitely alive and in full working order, and in a way it should not have been possible for a ship to be. Was this the afterlife, maybe? Somehow that didn't feel like the right answer. Looking around, you see nothing but blue blue sea, shallow and crystal clear, evidently some tropical lagoon, and though you seem to be standing on top of the water without issue, the sight of white sand and coral barely a fathom deep is a little unnerving. You try listening again to the GPS sats to get a fix on your location, and find your confusion and concern only deepening when you match coordinates to charts: you’re standing in Bikini Atoll. And, listening to your other comms systems, you hear nothing else at all except encrypted satellite traffic. On the ground is radio silence. True enough, Bikini was remote, but the Marshall Islands had tens of thousands of people living not too far away, and nearby Kwajalein had a Navy missile test range. How could there be literally no one here?
