You are Reinhold, master swordsman and victor of the Royal Swordsmanship Tournament. The King was so impressed with your skill, he personally requested that you be transferred out of the army and into the Royal Guard! Not bad for an orphan who was raised in a brothel in a poor fishing village.

This is your first day on the job but you're already on friendly terms with a few of the people stationed at the castle, including Sir Vincent, who it turns out is a lot nicer than he seems at first glance.

The only issue at this point is your assignment... you've been charged to be the personal guard of the King's only daughter Marianne. She is nothing like what you’ve seen neither whilst in the army nor while you were in your home village. Her skin is a perfect alabaster without flaw; her sunrise gold hair frames her face. The red bow only enhances the radiant colours that emanate from her.

Truly you can see why commoners’ envy kings and princes, not only for one to be around such beauty but to swear your soul to her and she responds in kind. Her poisonous barbs carry little sting, you are captivated by her, stunned in awe. You wonder what would men do for such a position where they get to fraternise you her everyday regardless of her difficult personality.

>Guard Rank: ANT
>Congratulations, the Princess isn't completely disgusted with you! You're a lowly Ant, which is one level above Worm!
>She still doesn't like you, though.
>Or see you as an actual person.

But maybe she is nervous with new people and that is why she is lashing out at you? Or maybe she is just a spoilt sick, it’s not hard to imagine most people to happily giving into her everything she wishes. But then who are you to complain about others, you are no angel. That line of thinking brings you back to your own flaws and you certainly have one.

>Which on is it?

[How will this flaw work?
Well every couple threads (if we go that long) where something tests your personal weakness you will roll one d100, I will have set the DC and if you pass you control the impulse. If not depending on the severity of your failure will determine the how much you are consumed by the feeling.
It will not take part in today’s thread that being said you can still be a dick in you want to.]

Being the bottom of the pile has worn on you long. Years of degradation by the patrons of the whorehouse or kids who mocked you in the street has rubbed you rough. Entering your teen years you no longer took such derision openly and increasingly fewer and fewer words would set you off into a rage. It was far from a rare sight to see you leaving a boy or a man who said one too many words about your situation with a bloody nose, a broken finger or even one time a cracked skull. In the army they taught you to harness your anger and with your NCOs always screaming into your ear every free moment they had created plenty of rage spare.

BOOM

Behind you, the sound of thunder rings throughout the room. The sound of such a roar reminds you of the cannons screeching their prodigious blasphemies against the sanctity of mankind. You place your hand on the hilt of your sword, whip toward the offender disturbing your rumination.

The source of that sound? Sir Vincent, standing with a warm smile and his hands cupped. That man let out a -literal- thunderclap. The stories on his abilities seem to be more than just rumour mongering of bored guards.

Princess Marianne jumps with a muffled shriek, you can’t help but smile at her humbling. You glace at her and see her cheeks glowing red with embarrassment. Witnessing a crack of the harsh porcelain mask she displays for you revealing soft, delicate, insecure princess. Maybe if you can try to find a way to remove her visage. It’ll certainly make your time with her more enjoyable.

Seeing that there is no actual danger, both you and the Princess regain your composure. Your hand leaves your sword but an ache to grasp it remains, the adrenalin still causing you to mildly shake in readiness for the battle which was deprived.

"Alright, it looks like introductions are out of the way! Reinhold, you'll be serving as the Princess's personal bodyguard. When she's out and about, you'll be at her side. Try not to embarrass her, eh?" Sir Vincent says, winking at you. "Princess Marianne, please try and cut Reinhold here some slack. He's been around nothing but crude soldiers for the past few years, so I'm sure that being introduced to royalty such as yourself is a bit overwhelming."

Do you...

Sir Vincent is right. It’d be best not to do anything as you’d probably get it wrong right now, so you enter your stone face which you relied upon so heavily in the army. Until today you have been around at best lurid and boorish men and at worst rapists and murders. To say you are missing a proper upbringing in eloquence is a serve understatement. Now you are not with them, you are trying to let that part of your life slip from your memories. All these new experiences can only be better than what came from before and now you must act like a supreme gentleman to continue this but your experience is sorely lacking so you must try to adsorb all the lessons from your betters.

"And so..."

Sir Vincent slaps your back once more, now you have proof the thunder clap was not just some fluke or your imagination. His colossal strength almost puts you off your feet but still being alert from the shock he greeted you with you manage to stay on your feet. You wonder if he is letting you know his strength to let you know your place or simply ignorant of it. Even if it contain some amount of threat and promise it will be to make sure you are straight with your ward rather than some insult, you think.

"...I'll go and inform the King that you've received your assignment. Farewell, Princess! Reinhold!" With that, Sir Vincent gives a slight bow and leaves the room, closing the door behind him.

After he departs she greets you once again with a stern look upon her face, such a shame you don’t get to witness her smile instead. But maybe it is her role as princess to make sure to don’t get over familiar with her or profess any offers of deeper companionship; you are after all a commoner.

"...Princess?" you say, not sure whats's going on.

"Hmph. You certainly are tall, and I hear that you did win the swordsmanship tournament, but are you actually capable of -protecting- anyone, much less me? This world is harsh, cruel and it is certainly possible my father makes an enemy of a foreign kingdom who sends their best after me."

“I’ve been serving in your army before this if you’ve not heard. I can assure you that it hasn’t got a lax training regime and I have shown myself above the rest of the rank and file in the arena, but also in the swiftness of my promotions after joining the army. If you wish I can get my services record and you can judge it for yourself. Have faith in me and the rest of your men, who will take life and give their life for you. Apart from your knights there is no one better in this kingdom to protect you.”

“No, no it’s ok I’m sure your service record is immaculate. After all if my father decided on you then I shall trust him and give you the benefit of the doubt. He may not be the best judge of character but he knows the strength of his warriors and after you telling me about how you would risk your life for me it’d be improper to turn you down now.” She smiles whilst reaching out with her white gloved hand.

This is what you wanted to see from her, how could you not join her in smiling? Your black glove meets with her white one; this job might not be so bad if she continues like this.

"HOWEVER." She said loudly, as if she sensed your spirits raising.

There goes that hope, in any case please don’t let the next words out of her mouth be insults again.

“From now on my life will be in your hands and you will have my trust as long and you behave in the proper manner. Not many earn this honour. But my day to day life isn’t the battlefield you are used to; your days with me will be rather droll and focused on my studies. I guess you might learn something by listening to my lessons if you are that way inclined if not I’d wager it will be more boring for you.”

“Thank you your majesty for the opportunity to learn on the job, I shall do my up most to meet and exceed your standards.”

“Well I’m doubtful of such behaviour but I will be looking forward to it nevertheless. I will endeavour to get a maid to leave my schedule on your bedside table before you retire to your room.” Princess Marianne replies. “Generally our day will play out in such a way. In morning I’m going to have you up early solider, but then I guess you are used to that. Next we shall go for breakfast, you will not have tasted anything as good the stuff from our kitchens.”

“Afterwards you will take me to me to my lessons while scaring off all the bad men after me.” She smirks. “Unlike the women you soldier boys are used to I don’t go for escapades at night so after that you are free to drink or to try to acquire those easy women you lot seem so fond of or both at the same time. Well that’s pretty much everything, your uniform will be in your room, so go explore this place it’ll take your breath away.”

If you stick around to the end I'll explain more of the world in detail, I'll probably forget so you'll have to remind me.
Basically it is high fantasy, there are all sorts of monsters and shit. Magic is the human use of the divinity in their blood so it can be taken to a very high level. Elfs girls are in it as are dragon girls.

You walk away from your door glad the experience is over, you are free but it’d be best if you found your room. You decide to walk through that large hall ahead doubtless there will be someone there you can ask.

The hall is stupendously grand with wealth of all kind adorning the walls demanding your attention even as uncultured as you are. There are tapestries dancing to a tune you are not privy to. On the ceilings there are murals depicting heroic deeds of the past royal family members whose descendants inhabit this castle slaying horrid beasts, you’ve not been around such great art before but you find it inspires you with mild envy of such skill. With all your free time with the Princess maybe you could find if you have any artistic skill that you could train. Maybe you will one day create something so grand it shall be enshrined here, no that’d be a folly to dream of such heights you are just a solider. Best aim at a level that would be achievable, maybe you could sell them in the town. This could be a really good thing going you’ve got here ignoring the possible assassination attempts coming in the future and the bratty princess.

But there’s something missing, people. Walking around for what feels like half an hour you’ve yet to see the sight of another soul. Maybe this castle is haunted you chuckle to yourself. But there is a slight fear to such things; today has been very odd and there certainty horrors in this world that can alter perceptions and minds. No, that’s a fools worry if that’s happened it’d be too late already.

As it seems customary in this castle another person shocks you while in thought but this time with a hand on your shoulder.

“Are you lost my young sir?”

As you turn around a kindly yet scarred faced of an old man. His skin is weather beaten over a life time or two wearing an immaculate suit with fine decoration adjoined but no jewely so you can safely guess he is no royalty.

“I see you walking around gazing at the walls and looking for something. Can I help? Or did you come with some perfidious intent?” He asks in a jovial manner but in his eyes your see the blackest darkness. To say it is unsettling is a great understatement.

You begin to tell him who you are and that you are looking for your room. He tells you he will take you there but asks if you would like to look around a bit more so you don't get lost or get some food. It is beginning to get late.

>You ask him if he can show you around this castle, don’t want to get lost again.

“Sure, follow me.”

The grey haired butler asks you “So you’ve met the princess I guess? I hope you two had a good first impression. She frankly isn’t used to people around her own age so she can come off a bit unsocialised but she has a good heart.”

“Well um… she’s different but I’m thankful for the job and as I did in the army I’ll make every sacrifice for her safety and will.” Nervously you answer, it would be improper if you started to bad mouth her day one on the job to a stranger.

“Haha well certainly those are some nice words but you need not be so uptight with me.” He greets your reply with a grin. “I’ve seen her grow up; as you can tell I’m no spry chicken and know she can be difficult she can be. Give her time to get used to you and try to accommodate her needs if not outlandish.”

With that he takes you takes on a brief tour around the most important locations of the castle that you’ve not yet stumbled into lost. Passing the royal armoury is the one event that the sets your imagination adrift, whilst you only got a brief look in you saw some wonderful sets of amour with battles adorned all over them. There were swords with flames flitting across the blade or blade made of darkness.

What wonders there are in there but the trip being a short introduction to your new workplace doesn’t stop so you can’t sate your lust for weapons. Instead you’ll have you do with the quick glace you had, you certainly will come back later. With that your stomach rumbles a cry for food which it has been deprived of since the morning due to the smell of finely cooked meat wafting in from the room in front.

The butler gives you a kind smile and says. “This is why I left the kitchen for last. I assumed a young soldier like you would be in want for a meal after your long day. By the way my name is Arnaud, have a good evening Reinhold.”

With that he has disappeared and he knew you name. You guess word gets out fast around here. You look at the table a small one with small chips on the wood explains to you that this is where the servants eat. The table was filled with breads, honeys cheese and MASSIVE TURKEY LEGS.

“Wow.” You exclaim quite obviously this food could have done for any Royalty and most probably it was.

In the corner of your eye you see a long silver ponytail bounce as the head rips the flesh off of one turkey leg. To match her hair her armour gleamed silver with ornate carvings, it was not of the quality of the royal armoury but to say it was common would be gross slander. Red cloth wrapped itself around the wearing unarmoured openings; no doubt it would have been magically enhanced to protect the wearer. In the army you remember the standard armour being bulky and rather uncomplimentary. For this warrior it was not true, the unarmoured thighs demanded your attention they were without blemish between a short deep red shirt and a white thigh sock escaping from her greave. You force your eyes up and the rest of her body doesn’t disappoint. Her hips are accentuated by the flaring of her armour and her chest seemed a nice handful.

“Hello? On you are that guy who won the tournament! The way you beat down that prissy border guard was great. I swear I looked like he was going to cry after being humiliated in front of the king in such a way.” She chortles, as gazes upon you her eyes much like the princess are deep blue eyes. Her silver hair covered half of her face, you want to run your hair through her hair so you can gaze upon her face in full.

“Y-yeah I’m Reinhold nice to meet you. What’s your name Captain” You reply with a stutter and a salute, it is not normal for you to be bombarded with questions in such a forward way by a CO.
“You don’t need to be half as nervous or as formal I’m Royal Guard Captain Nicolette. But just call me Nicolette from now on. Come sit down grab a seat and we can talk.” She smiles up at you.

>Sit down with her and eat

“Thanks captain.” Grabbing a plate and a mug of cider you sit yourself next across from her.

“Nicolette, remember and don’t apologise for getting it wrong just make sure you get it right next time.” She interrupts but not unkindly.

You reiterate yourself between bites of the turkey leg you are going to town on. “Thanks Nicolette, so what is it like being guarding the castle I don’t hear of much trouble from the capital whilst I was on the front line? Troops here well behaved?”

“Nothing never happens here.” She sighs “Troops are obviously the cream of the crop and behave well, apart from the occasional blip. Some try to get at little over friendly when they forget I’m more than just their pretty boss but then I quickly teach them why I’ve the best captain.” Hand reaching out to her spear propped up against the wall giving it a small wave to show you.

“So you’re the toughest guy in here that I’ll have to beat up to show how hard I am?”

“You could try. But I’ll let you into a secret” She breaks into a whisper as she approaches your ear. “You won’t ever win.” A jab to your waist connects and you let off a small moan which turns into a laugh shared with her.

After eating your fill and giving a goodbye to Nicolette she replies with. “Hey I know Marianne is a bitch if you ever need to vent, chill or too eat turkey legs I’m here.”

You give her a nod and a wave as you make your way to your room; unsurprisingly it’s next to Marianne room in case someone attacks her and or if she wants to go to you with a complaint. You hope that won’t happen all too often. Opening the polished oak doors you see a queen sized bed dominating the room, no longer do you have to share a barracks full of sweaty soldiers. On to the bedside table is your uniform and a ring. You jump onto the bed face first and try to embrace it in a slovenly grip.

This is the most luxurious room you’ve seen and it’s yours. Opening the eye that isn’t hugging the bed you see a door opening up to what you expect is a balcony.

You throw off your clothes without a care were they go, this is your own room and no one is coming to inspect it.

The light is gentle is small but it causes your mind to ache, you can’t sleep like this. You use the darkness in the room to encroach on the fireplace and the candles in the room. Slowly without much effort your draw the darkness towards the fire, quickly the candles are snuffed out leaving only the fireplace offending your peace. Fire becomes dimmer and dimmer until none of the room is illuminated and then it goes to, now its perfect darkness. This is your home, the Darkness; with your magical sight you see all in your room every nook and every cranny.

You feel the power, only a few are gifted like you are. The power of magic comes from the elder creators, the gods, who gifted a family line with a shadow of their abilities. To be one of their scions fill you with pride, you do not know your family but clearly they were a great people. It also means you have a duty to your patriarch to carry his will in this world as recompensation for the powers imbued, but he would have not chosen your line if he wasn’t confident in your abilities. Having such abilities rarely leaves one happy to toil away at the bottom of the pile. With the darkness flowing through your veins you feel its call and it wants perfection, you want perfection. You will meet your family one day, life is going your way and nothing shall stop you.

You pull the covers over your naked form thinking about all the tasks you have in the future. All seem achievable and none too hard. There women are beautiful, the food is good and you have your own room. There is nothing else you need, so without stress which used to torment you in the army about waking up at the crack of dawn to assault some position. None of that will greet you tomorrow only a grumpy princess and a lot of turkey legs and you can deal with that.

No think of Reinhold as a mix between an elemental and a human. The closer he is to his god, his true father, the Darkness the more powerful he becomes.

>>2453363
Darkness is the greatest force, he is everywhere his brothers are not. With is the vast amount of darkness in space shows he is the greater of all his equals.

With darkness you can see everything within a humans sight range that is covered in darkness. You can use people's own shadows (and all others) as blades, you can create darkness in front of your enemies eyes to blind them and much more.

You need more punctuation in your writing. Too many run ons with no breaths taken, feels like everyone is talking as fast as they possibly can to each other.
>>
>>2453345
Going well so far.
Hard pressed to cite any real mistakes.
(Late hour typos, and typos in general, are quite forgivable.)
The closest to a critique I can come up with is how the choice to explore the castle vs. explore the castle looking for someone to ask where your room and the choice to go to the kitchen or walk through the castle and arrive at the kitchen made it clear you're working from a fixed narrative, such as a previously run quest, and the rails are on.
But I never read the first one, so I'm still enjoying the ride.

I expect future choices will have greater weight and hope the Darkness Gish will either not venture into edginess or at least do so entertainingly.

I don't know shit about that quest. Look everywhere I guess. I would add that darkness is the absence of light and thus energy, we should have some ability to reduce the effects of light (duh) fire and lightning magic. Just don't make it more OP than the elements everyone else has and we'll be fine.

Maybe have it have a weakness like Earth magic isn't affected by it very much, due to earth being mostly underground, thus in darkness.

One good thing about darkness is that as a defensive measure we can black out the area, then grab our princess and head to safety. Of course she'd have trouble moving in the dark, so we'd need to carry her.

Princess carry, naturally.

what in the everlasting fuck am I looking at

Someone trying to bring back PGQ? Holy fuck I can't believe it's been almost 5 years, I STILL remember VIVIDLY that morning when the duel between Reinhold and the faggot with the bullshit sword finally happened, then the railroad into the big titted girl winning and the shitstorm that ensued. Goddamn it's like entire board was watching with baited breath and all hell broke loose at that moment.

I DO vaguely remember that the quest was made in the first place because Archelon was making a webcomic I think or writing a novel.
Apparently 5 years later he's still working on PGQ and is turning it into a VN. And holy fucking shit, 20 thousand dollars raised for the project, it's seriously mind boggling to think any old fans are still sucking his dick and are willing to throw thousands at him to continue this abortion.

Anyone who read the whole thing knows how it ended? Because I dropped the quest that day and I'm still SEETHING just remembering the asspull

The music, the art direction, the ui, everything besides the actual writing is the most generic anime trash I have ever seen.
I have to keep my eyes stuck to the bottom of the screen, cause if I stray anywhere else they start to bleed.
All that being said though, it is pretty nice seeing how all the paths seem to branch. It's way more interactive in that way than the average visual novel.
But fuck me if it doesn't look and sound like hot trash.

Is the princess still going to be a horrible cunt?

I remember asking the QM in the first quest how she'd react if Rein couldn't read and he literally said she'd think less of him and he'd earn less goodboy points for not being able to talk about her favorite books.
>>
>>2459920
Don't worry lad I've got you covered lad
>>2459923
Yes but less so, if you break down her barrier she will become very affectionate. You got to remember she hasn't been around a guy her own age ever so she is very nervous and takes it out by being mean.
>>
>>2459933
Alright. Just.. she's literally someone who will think less of a kid who grew up in a whore house for not being able to read.

>No I'm changing the rolling system halfway through a fight

>>2459974
Honestly don't remember his name.

He just had bullshit magical earth powers, had sensed Rein through the floor earlier in the fight, and then when all the anon said "Well fuck we literally can't win!"

Arch went asspull and said! No wait! You have the dirt clod spell! You blind him! Aha! Aren't I clever!

And in the same thread people lost their shit because... he could sense us through vibrations in the floor and had been fighting that way the entire time.

Right now you are a peak human and a medium/weak magic user. The first threat you will face is greater than human. There is certainly ways for you to get top tier.

>Thinking of replacing Melanie with an elf or wolfgirl which would you prefer?

Just to clarify, you mean, retconning Melanie out of the story?
>>
>>2472075
Pretty much, she is too bland imo.
>>
>>2472086
Well, I can't exactly remember much about her from last time, though I figure a second run of this game could have been a great opportunity to work on her character a bit more if blandness was the issue.
>>
>>2472095
I've got an idea of the wolfgirl already that could be fun. Not going to write what I don't want to
>>
>>2472103
fair enough.
>>
>>2472075
Was Melanie sir Vincent's daughter? She had a lot of potential but was constantly ignored in favor of training and professionalism, which never mattered because Reinhold was the eternal butt monkey.
>>
>>2472909
No, i think you're remembering Sylvie.

Melanie was the maid and Nico's crush and eventual girlfriend.
>>
>>2472086
monster
>>
>>2472915
Ohhhhhh. I think she'd be fine sticking in just not as a love interest. There's not a lot of characters Reinholds age that aren't love interests. It'd be nice to have a couple friends
>>
>>2472942
You forget, this is a waifu quest where everyone is fair game up until route lock.
>>
>>2472943
Oh I've never forgotten. But this isn't Arch so I date to dream. Dream about actual characters that don't always outclass us or are constantly jockeying for Reinholds turkey leg.
>>
>>2472924
Sorry lad if you liked her, I just felt she had no presence.

King> Knights > You & Nicolette > Rest

Might be able to run tonight. I've been travelling all day so it'd be a shorter session if so

>Today

>Next week
>>
>>2474231
Let's see what we can get done today.
>>
>>2473891
That may be but just about everything fought was around Knight level.
>>
>>2474343
Lad trust me, I got this, battles will be hard (first one at least) because I want there to be tension but you'll always have a chance to win unless its clear you need to run. You will never need to roll 2 nat 20s.
>>
>>2474343
Progression will be there to raise you up as stakes get higher. Also you got an opinion on >>2474231 ?
>>
>>2474368
I meant that I trust you to do that because you're not Arch and have been doing great so far. Yea I'd be up for a short session today.
>>
Ok I'll make a new thread in an hour or so

>>2474403
I want this quest to have more action then the original hopefully the history lesson (coming session) should give you a decent idea of what could come if you vote a certain way.
>>
>>2474368
Do you also have a twitter account to follow?
>>
>>2474423
I'll make one this evening
