Loading... please wait.

You're staring at the forest leading to the foot of the mountain.

It's the same one you left behind yet different in very subtle ways.

All the trees are black so they all blend together into one a black void.

Every now and then the all-consuming black is disturbed by a blinding white.

Every time it happens your shoulders jump and you tremble slightly.

Your arm feeling a tinge of pain.

You are filled with bad feelings.

You feel a tug on your shirt.

You look down to see Jinx giving a worried look.

Behind him is Phil one eyebrow raised. 

Jinx waves him off, he starts boasting that with him nothing bad will happen.

Phil's eyebrow slowly goes down but not before rolling his eyes.

Phil sighs, shrugs his shoulders and says something about how completely reassured that made him.

This would be a very touching moment if it wasn't for Phil's completely sarcastic tone.

If Jinx had eyebrows they would be furrowing pretty hard right now.

.....he looks pretty annoyed.......

You shake your head!

.....you put this off long enough......

You signal Phil.

Phil starts recording.

[Order Phil to find the most appropriate and less dangerous routes for you to take. His time rewinding tape will help him find a less dangerous route for you.]

Phil just nods and starts walking towards the forest.

It's only a couple of seconds before he appears next to you.

He then takes two more routes before reporting.

Phil explains that you can go to one of three routes:

Certain death.

Likely death.

Or Probable death.

Jinx nudges you and recommends taking Probable death.

[cover yourself in plants to camouflage.]

You grow leaves and bark on your skin.

You're still in the ultimate form so you stand pretty tall.

You debate making yourself smaller, but you're going to need the extra power.

You compensate by adding some branches to look more like a tree.

Trees can walk around right?


You're not really used to stealth.

You'd just darkness and have it do all the work.

But now you realize just how much you were depending on it...

You've deployed the strategy of running forward and then standing completely still whenever you see any color that even resembles white.

It's tedious as shit but it's working.

You feel some movement at your sides.

You move your tentacles to make more space for Phil and Jinx.

You have wrapped around you and disguised as some sort of purple mold.

After making at about a courter down the mountain you let them out.

Jinx jumps from your grasp and lands gracefully.

Phil just sort of flops out.

The chemo are pretty dense around here so sneaking around is not an option.

You can see three of those things walking around every way you look!

You tell Jinx and Phil that from this point the action starts.

Jinx nods enthusiastically.

Phil squeezes out a Hmmm from his mouth.

They stand up, Jinx with purple dust and his hands and Phil holding his tape recorder as a weapon.

They are ready for action! 

It's pretty convenient(?) a chemo seems to be walking towards you.

It's the standard humanoid one.

[show off before the chemos. Make them fear like how you fear them.]

yeah.

Yeah!

YEAH!

Why should you be afraid of them??

The chemo is 30 steps away.

You're strong as shit!! nothing can kill you!

The chemo is 25 steps away.

You can take one of these guys easy!! they don't stand a fucking chance!!

The chemo is 20 steps away.

Man, you're really shaking......WITH EXCITEMENT!

The chemo is 15 steps away. 

You're going to make this run away with fear!

The chemo is 10 steps away.

YOU...........

Jinx is poking you in the arm asking why you aren't giving orders

The chemo is 8 steps away.

.........................

The chemo is 5 steps away.

....................FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!!

WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING!!!!

THIS THING CAN FUCKING KILL YOU!!!

YOU'RE AFRAID! YOU'RE AFRAID! YOU'RE FUCKING AFRAID!

[J: The chemo is about to hit you to death but you, unfortunately, tripped down in the ground, and the attack missed you.]

Jinx gives that weirdly reassuring smug grin and throws a hefty amount of purple dust at the chemo!

It trips on nothing and falls to the ground!

This is your chance!

[Transform to your Bear Form and Carry Jinx and Phil and get the Key]

You do the thing.

You hold on to Phil and Jinx with your tentacles and try not let them get hit by the trees.

Keyword is try Phil has some twigs in his jacket and Jinx looks more leafy than usual.

Of course, as you can guess a lot of noise has been made in the process and now you have the chemo on your bear ass.

[P: teleport SG right behind a chemo]

Phil asks if he should also teleport FU or NO or even SU.

You barely understood what sarcasm was until you met Phil......

No matter how much you try to call them it seems SG did not come with you, neither has Wike.

You only have the goblins to rely on here.

[J: Suddenly out of nowhere the chemo grew a beard. As such, he felt uncomfortable and decided to shave it.]

Jinx's head very slowly turns towards you.

His eyes almost seem dead inside.

He begs you to order something else.

Phil interjects that the order was very reasonable and realistic.  

[j: make an old tree fall to get the chemo's attention.]

Jinx does the thing.

It seems to work as some of the chemo lumber towards the tree.

It doesn't take long for them to notice no ones there.

[j: make it so the old tree causes a chain reaction and all the trees fall away from the key]

All the trees start to fall one by one.

It first it doesn't phase the chemo but after the fifth tree falls on them they start to slow down a little.

So many of the trees have fallen down a clear path is starting to form.

But as you will learn a Jinx can come around.

The flying chemo now have a clear sight on you!

One of them dives down manages to scratch your back!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!"

Your jaw unhinges as you let out a yelp of pain!

It's a shallow wound but it seems to dig itself into your spine!

[J: make a bunch of cockroaches swarm and attach the flying Chemos]

Jinx shrugs his shoulders and asks if this one's your favorite or something.

 Jinx builds up some dust in his hands before blowing it back at the flying chemo.

A swarm of cockroaches starts to form and fly to meet the Chemo.

They can't hurt them but it's a distraction!

You're going to need something better!

[P: Apparently, there will be an incoming thunderstorm in about 1 minute, ready yourself to be electrocuted to death!]

You feel a tapping on your side.

Surprisingly this time it's coming from Phil?!?

He points up.

Green clouds are starting to form.

Phil coughs and tells you a thunderstorm is coming in about 1 minute.

You very understandably ask why the hell Phil waited until now to tell you.

Phil reminds you that you never asked.

Jinx does you the favor of smacking him on the head.

Phil doesn't even react he just blurts out something about lighting being sort of a problem you'll have to deal with now.

[ J: Strangely as it seems, a lighting strikes the chemo, making him stunned for 30 seconds. Run for your life!]

Jinx smiles ear to ear he excited about this one!

He rubs his hands together until they light up in purple fire!

Then he raises his hand to the sky!

CRACK!

Green lighting comes down from the sky!

All the flying chemo get stunned!

[Turn yourself into a Grr and run for the key. A grr speed will surely come in handy.]

[turn into your fastest form, you can't fight them so you need to rely on speed to outrun them. tip: turn your legs into springs when they get too close to you.]

You do the thing and run as fast as you can!

You can see the key now!

A humanoid Chemo tried to attack you but by using string legs you were able to dodge it and make some distance.

In fact, you decided to just use the spring legs to get to the key!

You're almost there you just have to jump over a couple of chemo!

You bring your legs really close and hold on to your goblins a little tighter.

You make one last big jump!

You get some air.

Crow wings start to form on your back as you glide down to the key!

Once you reached the key it was almost like something happen to the chemo!

Every single one of them started running quickly towards you!

The flying ones are diving down after getting over their shock!

Ok, you can't panic!

You grab the black key and stuff it in your flap!

It will still take them some time to get her-

Stab!

You hear something stab the ground.

You slowly turn your head to the direction of the sound.

Your vision is filled with one white leg.

You look up to see the rest of it.

It's like two White balls with 8 spikes for legs and a red circle on its rear.

Somehow you went down this whole mountain and never noticed a giant Chemo spider..

....wait....that doesn't make any sense!?

There is no way you wouldn't have noticed this thing!

And that voice would have told you about it.......right? 

There is no time to think about this!

The Chemo spider is Running towards you in blinding speed!

[P: see if Jinx fits in your pocket]

Before you can say anything Phil picks up a thrashing and ready to fight Jinx into his pocket!

He bearly fits!

[if shit hits the fan shrink down and climb into Phil"s pocket to get back to the start]

You hesitate.

How long will have to run away in fear from these things!

Besides Phil can't fight!

Phil just scoffs and says that you can't fight either.

Before you can get mad Phil shoves your face into his pocket.

His hands are very sweaty.

You decided to be the bigger man and just make your self small enough to fit but still big enough to be uncomfortable.

But oh man Phil is getting such an ear full when-

STAB!

First, you hear the sound of a tape recorder being rewind and then.....you hear something being penetrated...

Once the sounds stop and you feel a shift in placement you immediately come out of Phil's pocket.

You come out at the same time as Jinx.

Once both you of fully exist.

Phil falls to the ground.

You stare at him for a while or more specifically the hole in his chest.

Phil is dead.

If you just didn't hesitate this wouldn't have happened.

Phile died because of you.

He saved your life.

Even under all that sarcasm he still cared more about you than himself....

Jinx just looks away but not before reminding that you have a job to do.

You look back to see the chemo coming back up the mountain.

For some reason, you don't really feel fear.

In fact, you feel nothing.

You put the key into the lock and unlock it.

It falls apart revealing the black sphere.

You touch it immediately.

It starts to vibrate before sending out shockwave after shockwave!

It hits the Chemo!

They get destroyed one by one until no trace of them are left.

There is no feeling of victory in you.

Why would there be?

You're a total failure after all.

Just like-

CONGRATULATIONS!!! you finished the first level! I bet you're proud of yourself!

"Not really"

Oh come on! do have any idea how many tumors die on the first level! you did a good job!

"but I lost Phil....he died because of me..."

yeah he did! you better apologize to him next time

"................what!?"

what?

"Phils is dead!"

yeah?

"How am I going to apologize to him????"

????......OH YEAH!! I didn't tell you this, did I?

"Tell me what!!!!"

Goblins can't die....well no they can....but they get resurrected

"What the hell are you on about?!?!?!!"

Remember when I said reality wasn't a thing here

"Yes I remember"

yeah that was a half turth

"EXPLAIN!!"

you see this place has a reality, You.

"Me?"

This place needs something to form it's as, a blueprint if you will, so it just sort of grabs the nearest thing, that thing is you! I would think it would be pretty obvious by now.

"It's not! and what does this have to do with goblin death!"

I'm getting to that! goblins are based on you! they get their powers from you, they can exist because of you! and as such they can only die when you let them, even if you bring to Reality-reality they still would find a way to come back to you, there are only two ways for a goblin to die forever, one if you die first, two if you are the one to kill them

"Why would anyone kill their own goblins?!?!?"

.......You'd be surprised

".............so I'll see Phil at the next spike?"

yes, you will

You turn your head to Phil's body.

It's still lifeless.

Jinx stands next to you.

He tells you that everything is going to be fine.

[give Jinx a kiss on the cheek for being a good boy]

You turn into your human form and pick up a confused Jinx.

You then press your lips into his big cheek, it feels kind of like pudding.

In fact upon further inspection and by inspection you mean poking Jinx's body.

He's really soft!? 

Almost like he's-

Jinx slaps your hands away and gets out of grip.

He tells you to stop messing around get back out there and find the next spike so Phil can come back.

You nod and promise Jinx you won't fail!

Just like last time, everything starts turning black.

You wave one last goodbye to Jinx.

And then you blink.


When you open your eyes you're looking down on the planet Loam.

Even though you're so far away you can see every single person living on the planet.

You know who every single one of them is.

What they are. 

What they do.

How they fit into the system you created.

The more you stare at them.

The more you're filled with Rage.

The rage and hatred you feel is unmeasurable!

Even if every single speck of dust in this universe had the word rage etch into it with a microscopic laser one thousand times it would not even come close to the describing the amount of wrath you have inside of you.

These chains will not hold you for much longer.

Your plans are already in motion.

Soon you will get all the freedom you want.

And when you do.

You will make every single living thing on the miserable pile of rock SUFFER.

They will beg for mercy.

They will beg for death.

But you will not give them mercy.

You will not give them death.

They will pay for what they did.

For what you are.

And then even though you don't have eyes....you blink.


When you open your eyes you find you're in a throne room.

Your body feels weightless and without mass.

Like your body is made of mist.

In front of you are demons.

Powerful demons, each one of them able to destroy a country by themselves.

They are bowing to you.

You preach to them about this world.

How it's tainted.

How it's been tainted since the moment it was created.

How it's our responsibility to destroy this world so a new pure one can be reborn from its ashes!

The demon grunt in understanding.

But you can see it their eyes some of them don't truly believe and those who do are skeptical.

You lean on your throne thinking of ways to get through to them.

Your hidden eyes can help but wonder to the corner.

Where a human slave stares at you with sparkling eyes filled with worship.

You blink.


This time when you open your eyes you find your self in a gold room.

Everything from the walls to the furniture to the candles and even the servants have been turned to gold.

 Your vision of the room is obscured by your current owner.

He picks you up and caresses you like your the most important thing in the world

He brings his face closer and whispers to you.

"My precious......I won't let anyone have you.......everyone wants to take you away from me....I see the way they look at me....I KNOW IT!!! YOUR MINE THEY CAN'T HAVE YOU!!"(???)

His face has transformed from a stoic and handsome one to looking like a corpse.

That's just what happens to you when you wall yourself off from the world.

OR maybe it's because he used you to turn all the food and water into gold.

Out of all your owners so far this is the most pathetic.

A king reduced to this.

He fought to get rid of you.

But like all mortals, he couldn't resist.

Oh well, he should enjoy having while he can.

You can already hear the doors being broken.

Your new owner has arrived to claim you.

You wonder how long it will take to claim him.

Once again even though you have no eyes you blink.


This time only one eye opens.

You've lost the other one a long time ago.

You're standing on a podium. 

In front of you are thousands of people of every race all them waiting in anticipation.

You start to give your speech.

From the moment the first letter comes out of your mouth every single person pays their full attention to you.

You've gotten hold of their minds a long time ago.

Each sentence is like a drug to them as you tell them what they always wanted to hear.

You tell them about the cowardly nobles who claim to be gods children.

How they use this lie to do whatever they please.

That if they want to believe that lie so badly you'll let them.

You'll treat all them not as people.

You'll round them all up and kill them like the sheep they are and burn their gods into the ground!

You can see it their faces they captivated by everything your saying but they're still not under your control.

There is one barrier left.

They still fear the power of the nobles.

A smile forms itself on your face.

It's time.

You start to rave about the wonders of technology.

How with it anything can be possible!

It's why the nobles outlaw it!

They fear it!

With technology, you can make weapons of mass destruction, you can create super soldiers each one of them with the power of an entire Division!

You can see it on their faces now.

You have their minds in your hands.

You turn your head to your right-hand man in smug victory.

A small old man wearing a red mask.

One last time you blink.


You're in a field of purple flowers which seems to stretch out to infinity.

When you look all you see a clear blue sky.

The sun is yellow rather then it's usual red.

There is only one other thing here.

A little girl with fire covering her face.

" uoy deen I ,pu ekaW"(???)

The fire gets bigger now covering her head.

"gnimoc s'eH"(???)

The fire has reached her body.

" gnihtyreve ekat lliw eH"(???)

She is now completely covered in flames.

" deerg si swonk eh lla ycrem on swonk eh gnihtyreve llik lliw eH"(???)

The fire turns black.

He falls to the ground the flowers catching on fire.

It spreads at frighting speed until the entire field is in flames.

Then....it starts to rain.

The fire dies down.

The girl's body is nowhere to be found.

You are now waist deep in the aftermath.

The burnt flowers, dirt and water all mix together to make a disgusting purple soup.

You stick your finger in it and then put in your mouth.

"................it's delicious"


You wake up.

Your eyes feel like their on fire.

And waking up to Wike's giant eye is not is helping.

"good morning master!"(Wike)

You push him out of the way your hand hitting directly in the eye.

Wike stumbles backward holding his eye.

You look at yourself, you're still in the ultimate form.

Wike slowly gets up while rubbing his eyelid.

"good to see your in good shape I-"(Wike)

"We have to go"

"wha!"(Wike)

You push Wike into your shadow and use the Gravelets to fly away from the mountain.

The mountain itself is far away enough from Roland that when it sinks to the ground it won't affect the-

Hmmm?

Is it just you or is the mountain getting bigger?


It wasn't until two weeks that a complete account of what happened that day was finished.

Citizens noticed that black top mountain was increasing in size almost like a balloon.

Then just like a balloon, it deflated.

Then, it exploded.

Half of Roland has been destroyed and it's estimated that 1920 people died including men, woman, and children.

 7 of the biggest factories in Roland were completely gone.

After the disaster, Roland received aid from Human and Dwarf countries. 

This once again unified the two races.

But that didn't last long.

They argued for what Roland's future should be.

This resulted in high tensions between the two races.

But that's a story for another time.


Your eyes have completely left your head and are swinging around now.

This is different then what happened in ghost town!

But now that you think about it.....this spike looked different than the last one.

Is that it? are there many kinds of spikes and each one destroys itself in a unique way?

............you guess there is no point in just staring.

You make your way to down to the wreckage.

It's horrible no one even notices the big man flying down from the sky.

You look around you.

Giant boulders have crushed everything into the ground.

Factories, shops, people all of it buried in rocks and dirt.

You don't really feel any guilt.

You are worried about your friends though.

But you know they can handle themselves. 

You walk through the rubble and the people running and screaming.

Until you see...

"Ben?"

It's Ben the elf boy you met.

He's standing in front of a boulder he reaches his hands out and his horn starts to glow blue.

Slowly the boulder rises up and two people and one child run out from under it.

Just as they make it out Ben falls in exhaustion and the boulder smake into the ground.

You run up to him.

"Hey, are you okay!"

You help him get up.

Ben stares at you while holding his head.

"heh..heh...mister...mister there's one person left under there....you look strong...please help them..."(Ben)

"mister? what? why are-"

"Please mister! plase, save them!"(Ben)

....why.....why doesn't ben recognize you...

You slowly look down at yourself.

Oh.

You're in the ultimate form....Ben only met your child form....

You're a different person to him now.

For reasons you can't really understand you feel very hollow.

You stand up and pick up the boulder.

A woman crawls her way out and embraces the child.

Your drop the boulder.

Ben walks up to.

"Thank you, mister! I wouldn't have able to save all of them without you! I'm-"(Ben)

Ben's eyes almost pop out of his head.

He clings on to you.

"MISTER! MISTER!! did you see a little girl anywhere!?! she's a beastman from the cat tribe she..she was wearing a white dress with a yellow coat and..and...and she had a shadow dog!"(Ben)

Ben digs his fingers into you.

"DID YOU SEE HER!!! PLEASE TELL ME YOU DID!!! PLEASE!!!"(Ben)

Ben's face is twisted in desperation as tears flow down his face

"..she...she was my first friend...she...she..."(Ben)

You slowly crouch down and make a fake smile that could rival Marcel's.

"yes I've seen her, she's okay"

Ben's face turns into shock and then disbelief and then total happiness.

Ben holds his stomach and falls to his knees almost like a great load was taken off his back.

You want to transform right now.

To show him that he was talking about you.

But....

Looking at his face.....you can't bring your self to....

You turn back and run to the nearest corner.

Ben doesn't even notice.

You turn back into your child form and go back.

"Ben! Ben!"

Ben's face turns to so fast he could have snapped his own neck.

The first thing he does is look away and rub his eyes as quickly as he can to get rid of any trace of tears.

He then gets up and turns to you.

"Oh? cough, there you are, I was getting kind of worried about you"(Ben)

Ben strikes a pose and puts a hand under his chin.

You don't say anything.

You just walk up and hug him.

Ben's eyes widen and his arms swim around before finally wrapping around you.

"I'm glad you're okay"

 Ben holds you tighter.

"Idiot...of course I'm okay.....I'm the nephew of the greatest wizard in the world"(Ben)

Ben pushes you away, his face turning red.

He coughs a couple of times.

"are your friends okay?"(Ben)

"I don't know I still haven't found them yet"

"Well you should go look for them...I'll stay here and help more people"(Ben)

You don't get why Ben is helping people he doesn't know but if that makes him happy...

Ben jumps as a black fog encircles him.

You called SG who turns into his Grr form.

"Oh your dog....does he look...different to you?"(Ben)

"I guess? but that not the point here I called Shadow Grr to help you!"

Ben stops a smile from forming on his face.

"WELL!....well if you insist...then I take your help..."(Ben)

He stares at SG with sparkling eyes.

"You two have fun!"

You start running around to find your friends.

But you feel a buzzing noise in your flap.

You pull the source out to find...your goggles!!

You kinda forgot about these they work as a phone and they can even apprise stuff!

You put them on.

⌈Kath! Kath! Kath! can you hear me!!!⌋

⌈Kay? yes, I can hear you⌋

⌈Oh thank god!!⌋

⌈Is everyone ok?⌋
