Title should be : Persona: Moonless XV
You are Johann Fol, a human student who had recently lost his foster dad and was forced to transfer to Garsis academy in the elven city state of Cairth under the protection of a new guardian: Miss Yuni in Gladefall Dorm, Tenfaro Street.

Under strange circumstances, you happened upon a mysterious parallel world known as the Moonworld, filled with strange creatures known as shadows thriving in a hellish post-apocalyptic landscape. It's up to you to purge sin out of Cairth as part of your agreement with the malicious entity, Ruin in Form.

A New purgatory bond was forged with none other than the director himself who opened a whole new world for you in the Moris.

MOONLANDS

"Here we are." The Moonlands looked as grimy as ever, to think this was once a normal world with people going about their daily lives. All of them are gone...well, except for two if that creepy book is right.

"Huh, it is raining." Kaz looked upwards as droplet of blood started to trickle in. Wait, Blood?

It was Kaz who realized that the whole gang was walking in circles thanks to this infernal rain, the three of you sought shelter under a makeshift camp made out from several car chassis and tires for a not-so rainproof roof.

"Make some room, man."

"It is too tight." Kaz complained as he was trying to settle in comfortably.

"This crawlspace is fit for a child." Maq didn't like it either.

"Anyone got better alternatives? No? Thought so. " After some finagling, everyone was semi conformable with their new position.

"These will do." Maq had started a small fire using a several sticks and a broken stool leg.

"This is hardly an apology for what I have done but I do think you might enjoy it."

"It is part of a tradition we couldn't erase after the revolution."

"Really?"

"Yes," He nodded " All Esparan or Hilyeathian Elves boys used to learn how to play a musical instrument alongside their usual noble training. Neither my father nor my brother had time for me so I taught myself, we are in the age of information after all."

"Wait a sec, You are from Koris just like us! Can't fool me , Kaz!" You would have pointed at him menacingly if there was enough space to do so.

"Ugh." Kaz didn't comment any further, rolling his eyes instead. Maq suddenly drew her katana hitting you with her elbow.

"Owww, What's going on?"

"It is not safer here anymore, let us move."

As the rain began to dwindle a bit, you stumbled upon a once-abandoned waterpark. Now, it is brimmed with activity thanks to the vermilion downpour with a multitude of shadows organizing the place. A jubilant snowman waved at you from its ticket booth.

"Oh no you don't!" Maq stopped you right away " These are shadows, they will turn against you in a moment's notice."

"I concur.let us leave this place, as amusing as it may be. It could also be quite a trap."

"Fine." said Maq begrudgingly "Let us be done with it."

「 Hee-Hoo you go!」The shadow gave you three ticket after paying a hefty 100 Makka for each. There were a lot of shadows inside the waterpark, each one is having good time splashing about or playing one of many minigames with a twist.

"Some of them aren't fond of us." whispered Kaz as he met the gazes of many perturbed shadows gawking and sneering at the three of you " I reckon we can attend one or two attractions before we would be 'unwelcomed' here."

"Ok, lets split up to scout the area then we will meet under the broken fountain. Don't do any suspicious, yeah?"

"Phew, I thought you or Kaz had gotten into some trouble." You had to wait a couple of minutes before they would show up.

"Speak for yourself. " Maq crossed her arms " I found a shadow merchant, a bizarre living machination called 'Arc-ade Heaven' and... never mind." She fell silent out of the sudden.

"Maq, please, speak up." said Kaz.

"Well, I felt the essence of one of my brothers. He... was there and wasn't. It is difficult to explain."

"Was he like your big sis, Laedras?" Well, that is interesting.

"No, He-" It took her a second to gather her sound " Back when I was still serving Ruin, I learned of his death. It was a shock to some of us, to be bested by a pathetic mortal. I wasn't surprised , however, he was a worm in my eyes always striking from afar. He wor... enough of these blasted memories. Forget that I had said anything."

" Okay... what about you, Kaz? Did you find anything cool?"

"That I have, a kiddie playground for more child-like shadows. It has minor treasures under the pool of blood. " He paused for second, lowering his voice " I did find where the real treasure is, a storage room filled with Makka but I am afraid the shadow guarding it is above our pay grade..."

"Nice, Are you ready for this? An actual Flowriding contest! I always wanted to surf, this might be my only chance you guys! Guys?"

"Any more 'thrilling' finds?" The duo were kinda disappointed for some reason.

"Hmmm, Oh, oh! A cool Waterslide of DEATH and a couple of shadows for hire? That's it, really."

"Very well, now that we got the waterpark all mapped out, I suppose we ought to have 'fun'."

Aaahh, an arcade! You didn't connect the dots until now. There were a handful of curious shadows who were amazed by this... thing. It was an amalgamation of arcade machines with wires and other electronic parts jutting from every corner like some robo-freakshow. It kept emitting different beeps and bloops as if it was trying to communicate with anyone nearby. This living machine still had a couple of flickering screens, each one of them displaying games you have never heard off.

"Uuuh, Maq? What are we looking at here?"

"Well..." The Moonlit Hunter rubbed her chin " It is no shadow... or an actor for that matter. Do you see anything with your special eye?"

"Hold on." You squinted really hard " Nope."

"Perhaps this is or was one of the people your kind slaughtered?" suggested Kaz "or some sort of a digital echo? We are not fully aware of how technologically advanced this planet was."

"I sense a great pain within its miserable core. Whoever dwells within, It could be asking for a sweet release."

"Hold on." You interjected "What if this one of your siblings? You can't just kill it like that!"

"It is not. I would have known. It is very unlikely that we should stumble upon this place ever again. Deal with it as you see fit."

「 He-lp!」There has to be some shadow stuck under the living arcade. Too bad no one cares to save a little weakling.

Reach the boss (or its equivalent ) of a labyrinth floor.

One of the cabinets served as a well hidden door, allowing you to burrow deep inside this thing until you found what is keeping it alive.

It was a black orb which was quite warm on touch, it was floating in what you had assumed to be the center of the living machine with dozens of wires connected to it. You had to untangle this mess first before making your daring escape as everything began to collapse around you.

"I...got it." You panted heavily the moment you got out with your prize. Some shadows were growing suspicious of your dang due to the sudden shutdown of the once living arcade. Yet none had decided to act on it for the time being.

The three of you had left the bewildered crowd onto a bunch of shadows who were offering their services which... didn't make a lick of sense to you but you chose to ignore the reasoning behind it.

The following were available for hire;

-Kelpie [Lvl 7, 240 Makka]
-Midnight Stalker [Lvl 13,520 Makka]
-Sea-Stranded Admiral [ Lvl 16, 710 Makka]
- Reclusive Tree Spirit [ Lvl 11 , 350 Makka]

Sadly, you were at your persona limit so you would have to release one or more of your personas depending on how many new shadows you wish to hire.

"So.. hot...Is that... TREASURE?!"

It was overflowing with Makka BUT, it was surrounded by skeletal remains. There was another mirage and/or actual treasure, an egg with a blueish tint to its shell. How in the moon did this egg remain uncooked by the blazing sun? It didn't have anything note worthy around it.

" My brother can be deceitful at times. I say we go for the treasure." Maq suggested.

"The safer option is to ignore them both." Kaz has voiced his concern. Ultimately, it was up to you.

+Makka-Deprived Egg [Accessory? ]
???

There is little time to examine it properly. You dragged your friends all the way back to Maq's brother with a simple request at hand.

"Of course, The son of none is fortunate to have someone like you."

"Thank you , sir. Now if you please...."

The last thing you recall before blacking out was that sweet treasure, how come you are in the sanctuary? Where is Kaz?

"Bloody...id..." Maq was too exhausted for her usual slap. Moments later, Veishu had come to the rescue with a jug full of lemonade.

"Johann, please, don't endanger yourself like that!" He was visibly worried, sweat trickling down his forehead " Kaz told me everything, he had to leave you since it is past midnight."

"Aaaaah~" That was refreshing. Maq simply gave you that look before storming off.

"Oh, Johann. I didn't get the chance to speak with you about something." The dryad was slightly hesitant "I think I figured out my... other ability in help you and our friends out."

"Yeah? what is that?"

"Well...."

______________________

TUTORIAL NO.54
「 VEISHU UPGRADES」
-Veishu can upgrade many spells, skills and passives for the Moonlit Hunters. Upgrades will cost Makka
-Veishu can do either in the real world or in the moonworld.
-REALWORLD[Only for Johann]: slightly cheaper than moonworld counterpart, grants more C.B points but costs an action.
-MOONWORLD: More expensive than real world counterpart, can only occur at R.P , grants less C.B points, will also consume TIME but it is the only way for other hunters to upgrade their moveset
-Upgrades can range for more casts, less time consumed, more damage...etc
-the variety of upgrades will depend on his current C.B

"I will keep that in mind, thanks Veishu!"

"Happy to help, come on, let's head back to the dorm."

「 Find the identity of Wrath OR pay enough Makka to Paloa」

You woke up feeling this strange tension in the air. Everyone was tip-toeing around, you asked Elenna what is going on. She had the following to say.

"Miss Yuni... She locked herself in her bedroom after a phone call. We heard her crying and sobbing."

"What?!"

"Keep your voice down." The elf shushed you "She doesn't want to talk to anyone so don't get any ideas."

>Got it, thanks for the heads up

"Look, I don't like this either but we can't really do anything. Let her calm down a bit." You hated her reasoning, it made you feel so useless right now. It is not like you can break into her room. Damn it.

Here we go again with your grumbling stomach, Either pay a quick visit to Alute (or Ella) or cook something tasty with your shrimp and veggie mix.

Might as well cook something for once. As it turns out, you can make quite a lot of this shrimp soup. The recipe is very easy to follow. This will leave you with an untouched bag of veggies and you obviously want to cook them all.

Luckily, other students were also cooking up some stuff in their free day so you had to go around asking what to do with your extra bag.

" I wuz gon buy sum veggo, butza I knows how to maka a gud pie." said an orc student " I gotz de meat, we can cook it togetha."

"Oh, These vegetables are perfect for a deep fried ashen dish. I-i can help you if you want." Suggested Veishu.

" Ever tried a Doviileth saucer? It is a Cairthian Classic. I am already prepping one, sooo...." Elenna offered her help as well.

You didn't realize how much fun it was to cook with a friend. Veishu was surprisingly a master chef in the making, Why didn't he join the cooking class? May he was too shy to do so? Yeah, that's probably the reason why.

These deep fried rolls where a mooonsend. So delicious and 100% Vegan. Everyone wins. You thanked the masked dryad for this wonderful time as the two of shared a brunch in the lounge after all of your hard work.

You have zero idea on how this will play out. First things first: A quiet spot, Veishu's little secret spot should do.

You sat down and closed your eyes, it felt like white noise at first, growing louder and louder so much that you could barely focus. It took you some filtering to make out some fo these requests. Does Satha act as the middle man here or does those in help send their request directly to you? If only you could tell Lev about all of this.

-Ungag the Gyag
+Greasy Key

]]] Dear Hunters, My name is Gorisha Evlan, A nobody living in Sanada.I just love Gyags, they are cute and funny in their own way. I... raise them and sell them as pets. Here is the thing, There is this disgusting Pixie who buys a new Gyag every month or so from me. Zirtifit Monshe is her name, She only buys male Gyags from me. One day, She slipped and talked about how she uses my poor gyags as sex-toys before eventually eating them! Can you imagine that?!!

When I refused to sell her any more of my pretties, she threatened me and the rest of my babies. Of course she works for the underdon...she is untouchable.

Please, Hunters. Bring justice to Sanada and deal with her! [[[[

-Hateful Boyfriend

]]] I don't think I can keep up with the abuse. He beats me on the regular. Sometimes, I deserve it. Sometimes, I don't. I just don't know anymore.

Hullund Reyhea has turned on his friends and family once he started to snort these fucking drugs after losing his arm in a work accident. He wasn't the same human I loved and worshiped. I am too scared to tell him that I am pregnant... I beg you Moonlit Hunters: Save me and my baby from the man that I used to know [[[

Can't spill the beans either because she is grabbing me by the balls. Yeeah... I fucked it up a couple of months ago but that is not the point. Satha, Hunters, Whatever... make her stop!!!! [[[[

-Cop out
]]]] *sigh* , where to begin? I have been a cop for almost 59 years. I have seen a lot of shit in my younger years... Nothing compares to do Ex-officer Oswauld Karipii. He is one of the most corrupt officers I have had the displeasure to deal with. He had a thing for street kids...figures, they are the most vulnerable in our screwed up society.

Turns out, He used to funnel street kids to midden crime lords. You heard me right, Child Slaves. Back then, I was greener than grass. Couldn't do anything about out. The guilt keeps eating me from inside ever since. How many lives could I have saved if I did the right thing?

I want that smug bastard living in Espara to answer for his crime. Bring justice back in Cairth... [[[

With a bowel of shrimp soul, you nestled in the lounge not facing the T.V but rather your books. Who knows when will an exam pop up out of the sudden, no?

Sadly, you had no study partner so it was just you and loads and loads of elven taurshit. Yep, boring as ever but you gonna do it sometime. It took you a couple of hour to digest these nasty chapters. Finally, it is done.

"So sleepy..." You crawled back to your pod where Maq was patiently waiting for you. She didn't look exactly pleased for some reason.

"What's up?" You tried and failed to hide your yawn.

"Her Lyst. You were supposed to help u-me, remember?"

「Continue Maq's rehabilitation 」
「LYST: Reach the highest point in Cairth」
「 Find the identity of Wrath OR pay enough Makka to Paloa」

After slurping down your breakfast, You didn't wake any time screwing around. Results for the highest point in Cairth has been...quite discouraging so far.

The actual highest point in Cairth is mount Revielith Holy peak, standing at 2,081 m above sea level. Dryad pilgrims usually go there annually to pay respects to an Allmother half-frozen in this spot. The mountain itself is quite treacherous, It is highly recommended to have a guide with you. According to the site, it will take you about 4-5 Hours to ascent , same with your decent. This is something to be said about all of the flora unique to the mountain. It is so close to the city-state, just an hour or so and you would be there.

Following the Holy Peak, The Scar-Spire is 1393 M high which is a unique rock formation in the scarlands, very popular among avid thrill seekers who don't want to risk dying since the Scar-Spire is quite a profitable attraction with railings and kiosks around every corner. It will take about 2-4 hours to reach the ''summit'' the good old fashioned way. There is an elevator ride for those who are too lazy to walk up there! You would have to factor the long ass trip required to reach the Scarlands at first. Hooo boy.

Wait a second, you are thinking of Cairth as the region itself but what if it is the city state itself???

You continued your research to find the highest point in the city proper....this goes to the eternal archives which is part of the eternal palace in Hilyeath, this strange tower is nearing 500 M...yeah, no. Can't go there.

Your second bet is the...ugh, Nethoriel's Skypearl in Espara which is 320 M high. The prices are INSANE, 20k for the lowest ticket???!!!!!! If you could somehow get forty stack, Maq would be overwhelmed with how thoughtful you are to her.

The Lotus tower can be your third pick here. It is in Gabiel so it not too far AND it is also a art gallery with tons of abstract paintings and such. 182 M though.

Finally, there is a historical lighthouse in midden which should be waaaay much easier to go to. Problem is, it is only 93 M high... not exactly the tallest.

"An intriguing place." You showed her the pics "This will do."

Of course, you had to ask Miss Yuni first, She had no energy to say no. If you didn't know her, you would think that she is indifferent or she doesn't care at all to begin with. This is troubling.

You and Maq got dressed and ready for one your first mountain hike. This should be fun

Two Bus rides later, you were at the very bottom of Mount Revielith. It was breathtaking view from down here with clouds obscuring the holy peak, flowers and trees with blueish glow dotting the landscape. Just beautiful. You could see quite a narrow and twirly tailblaze leading to the top. Boy, It sure looks safe especially with zero rails, ropes or anything really. Maq was starry-eyed the moment you let the bus. She wanted to conquer that mountain at any cost. This is not good.

There were four cabins in total at the mountain bed, one was for the guides , the other was for any medical emergency and the last remaining two were for various supplies.

Naturally, All the guides were dryads. They were surprised to see two humans in their sacred grounds. They had but two simple and reasonable requests for you : No littering and no picking up any flowers. Fair enough.

This was the current price list
- Vii Deshro [750 Pons]
A Dryad who cares less about the sacristy and more about the scenery. She knows the mountain like the back of her hand often leading her guidee to interesting shortcuts.

- Kiryls Tyly [500 Pons]
A Dryad who decides to spend the rest of his life under the shadow of the mountain to guide both the pilgrims and the lost to the revered allmmother. He is no first seed but other dryads claim that he is spiritually linked to the mountain and that he provides spiritual healing during his many, many stops at the 118 Final Steps along the way.

-Shaykel Zalom [400 Pons]
A dryad who wants to get you from point A to point B as quickly as possible. She is in it for the pons. She is quite quick on her feet so better keep up or the mountain will claim another victim!

- Hiking gear I [200 Pons]
Basic hiking gear to keep you warm and safe

- Hiking gear II [300 Pons]
Better hiking gear which will make you a bit walk a bit faster

-Climbing gear [400 Pons]
For the more adventurous type who want to scale up the mountain.

-GPS Tracker [50 Pons each]
In case you get lost!

-Flare [20 Pons each]
In case you get lost!

- Hollowborn seed [250 Pons]
A seed used by pilgrims to plant at the very top.

-Hollowborn Oil [500 Pons]
This oil is used by the pilgrims to cover the unfrozen hand of the Allmother

-Hollowborn Dream [700 Pons]
This unknown concoction is drank by the pilgrims during their meditation at the very top of the mountain.

-Ashen Meals and drinks [100 Pons]

And so your ascent had begun, the narrow path wasn't as bad as you had originally thought; it could fit about five people or so in one line. The slope was decent as well making the first third of your ascent a breeze to go through.

While Maq was still going at full speed, you were starting to get winded panting every once in a while. Maq didn't say it but you were slowing her down. Meh, she will eventually get tired.

A very nice surprise was waiting for you as the path was getting narrower: a small plateau on the side which is perfect for taking a short break or camping.

"What is that?" There was a sign covered in snow, you had to brush off the snow first. It reads:

'You may encounter corpses of other pilgrims who didn't make it to the top. Tampering with bodies in any shape or form is strictly forbidden. They have become one with the Allmother and universe. This is their final resting place.'

"Gah!" Just a few feet after this sign was a frigid body of a dryad whose got stuck in a crack causing her to dangle on the side of the mountain.

"Look at her broken bones, she must have fell on the way up, Johann?" You were transfixed on something else entirely.

~Your Empyreal eyes spots a powerful boon!~

"Johann?"

"There is something inside her right eye. Can you see it?"

"No? Are seriously going to defile this corpse?"

No, You will not touch the body. Self control at its finest right there. Maq was slightly content with your choice which is kinda strange. Mouten would be all about stripping corpses clean, huh.

The ascend to the second third of the mountain was where things took an ugly turn real fast since path was now two-person wide, layers of snow were impeding your path not to mention the freezing temperature and the scathing winds combined with your spent endurance. Maq was slightly less active than before, she didn't feel the need to stop while you were on the verge of collapsing.

There were a couple of close calls as the path became so narrow that it could fit a single person in it. The little break sure did nothing, why are you in a hurry? It is not like this is a race.

"Hold my hand!" It was Maq who took the lead near the end when the winds were ramping up.

At this particular moment, your luck had run out as you slipped downwards to your certain death.

"JOHANNN!!" For a fleeting second, you saw genuine terror possessing Maq while she stood helplessly during your fall.

You didn't die right away since the heavy snow had cushioned your fall but it mattered little because of the jutting rocks and fissures you are speeding to. You could do nothing but closing your eyes. This is it.

This was not it.

At a moment's notice, your whole body was swallowed by a purely hidden tunnel made from perfectly smooth ice. You still had zero control on your momentum during this nightmarish slide to your doom. It ended with you flying towards something solid , then darkness.. cold, cold , bitter darkness.

"Well, well, well... look who is here..." You were already aware of what is going on. Shapeless Baroness.

"Y-" You tried to say something but your outrageous headache prevented you from even standing up.

"Awww, Having a ... splitting headache? Hehheheh~ . Oh, you can't see it. I can. Like a melon, pop!" The amalgamation drew closer to you with her myriad of limbs "Will they find your body? Highly unlikely."

Her fiendish snickering had made things worse, you wished for her to shut the moon up for once "Time and time again, I offered you power beyond your imagination, my sweet window. Are you dying on purpose? Playing hard-to-get games with me? Whatever, I will wear your body like a glove.... unless, you do the right thing. I will win regardless of your choice."

This chill running through your body is unusual, is this what death truly feels like or is it something else?

"No? Hmph. Oh well, I will play the waiting game. I will have you know that I am pre-Hm?"

It wasn't just you, the very fleshy ground was frozen solid. A pair of giant blue fingers had materialized way up in the endless void tearing and ripping apart the fabric of space and time.

The meat dimension was slowly morphing to the vast emptiness of space and twinkling stars, you couldn't comprehend what was going on to the fullest extent.

"Ruin, you filthy, filthy snake. Doesn't matter, noooo, I will eat them, absorb them.Then no prison can hold me...hehehehHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAAAAHAHAAAA!"

The next moment, you found the goddess of Chaos upsizing herself on a cosmic scale to fight Veishu's persona. How is that even possible?

"Owww, my head." Slowly, you opened your eyes. Was the bit with providence showing up just a halluciation or did it really happen. Wait a sec, you are alive!

Turns out your head was mostly in one piece, you did bonk your head on the way here. There is blood but nothing a few stitches could fix.

"Huh." There was a bed of flowers right where you fell with a small trail leading to one of the many tunnels in this icy maze. What are you going to do?

Ah, what a lovely smell. You were honestly tempted to pick one when you remembered the mountain rules. Thanks little guys.

You followed the flowers almost perfectly, vaulting, crawling and crouching your way to freedom. How long has it been? You actually had found yourself back in the cabin area where Maq was crying her heart out while standing next to several dryads.

"Uh, hi?" At this moment , you realized that you lost your GPS tracker wristband. No wonder they looked distraught an-

"JOHANN!!!" She raced towards you for one moon of a hug "I-i thought I lost you.."

The hunter was overwhelmed by emotions, unable to finish her sentence.

When that was done, You learned from Maq that she had actually made her way to the summit! This was done mainly to seek help, she did find three pilgrims who contacted the guides below. Shame about not reaching the summit yourself... maybe another time.

"Hey." You casually approached her which made little miss perfect more iffy than usual.

"You...go away. I don't want to talk to you." Her delicate fingers were on the panic button just in case you did or say something stupid.

" What is that thing away? looks cool." You tried to start another conversation. May, she wil-

" I said go away." She turned her back on you, pushing some buttons in the device's main control panel.

"..." Lev continued to ignore you until her device started to beep . This annoying sound became louder when she pointed the nozzle towards the garage.

"Open it, now!" She almost dropped the cleaner's neck as the elf was bubbling with anticipation. She knew that you and the gang own this garage so it is no use hiding it.

>This is a private property. So no.

You held your breath while opening the garage, the thought of compromising the Moonlit Hunters so easily was uncomfortable to say the least.

Once inside, Lev flicked a switch in the back of the device which made it whirl like crazy. It kept sucking air and dust until it stopped on its own.

"Amazing...The concentration of Emathcon particle is ten times the normal amount. Zoff will..." her enthusiasm had faded away in a blink "... no, he wouldn't care."

"We done here?" You could hear your own heartbeat.

"Yes, thanks I guess. Oh and your painting needs to go 7 degrees to the right. " With that said, The blonde haired hair had slumped her way back to her roof observatory saddened by reasons unknown to you.

It was perhaps the perfect time to go to Tecig, for some reason, he was drowning in customers. You quickly put on the apron and got to work.

"Huh?"

"Right, too young to get the ref. I will have you know that it is cult classic. Don't let those 'critics' poison your mind. Want one?"

"Sure." damn, too cold " *Urp*, Sorry."

Tecig felt extra generous today, dropping a 100 bomb instead of your usual. What a bro. Good thing that he didn't notice the stitch, otherwise, he would have been extra worried.

Once you helped him to close Alute, it was a straight march to your pod.

"Oh? thanks!" She wasn't expecting you to buy the newspaper, She pulled you closer to her in unexpected move whispering " I know what happened to you in midden. The principal had quite the talk with us. The snarky little bitch who *knew* she was dealing with 'shady' characters is out of the journo game, ha!"

"Wait, really?"

"She took a lot of money for this ad. Guess who is on top of the food chain? All because of you."

"You are welcome." Ahh, so that is why she is all giddied up.

"Come on, support the news!" Oh, she wasn't talking to you. Typical Gwinyr.

The principal did listen your and Miss Khakigg's advice about getting a mental health consultant. He was extremely transparent in his speech laying out the school's budget for everyone to see. Some teachers and students were astonished by how much pons the principal is pumping into the academy to retain its current standards.

"....the choice is yours. You will get your money back if we didn't meet our goal."

Of course you would support this idea, the old elf assured everyone that they will pay about 100 pons per month after march. You were surprised to see so many student already paying. Kaz remained in his seat, while Gwinyr practically took a leap for the money box. As for Navi'esh, She didn't have enough pons so she returned to her seat with sorrow painted on her face. Maq was confused about the whole thing so she kept her pons to herself.

Lev had the money, she was going for it but something inside her mind had ticked causing her not to do so. Finally Veishu encouraged his dryad friends to donate for the greater good. The result should appear tomorrow so here is that.

AFTERNOON
________________
You returned back to the dorm where Julos stood like a freaking statue by Alute as she was waiting for you.


"Good Afternoon, Domulus." She politely greeted you while brushing snow off her shoulder " Are you ready to resume our duties?"

"I guess, What do you have for me this time?"

" Seven of Sanada's homeless had died from starvation this winter. We are to join Manus Verfecta in a kitchen soup near Grand Kirpso Theatre."

"Are you sure this is a good idea? I have been there once an-"

"Are you scared, Domulus?" The elf? Dryad? cut you off in her usual monotonous voice.

"I just don't wanna get jumped. That's all." Bah, you will call her elfryad in your mind from now on.

"Orders are orders. Don't make me report your blatant hesitation."

"Alright, alright, sheesh... let's go." You are too deep in this fan club, can't back away now.

____________________________
+Socialize
++ Sympathize

You thought this soup kitchen would be in some shelter but nooooo, the two of you were standing in a glorified food stand in a dim-lit spot. Julos called someone of the Sanada team to deliver the ingredients for the job without a single word.

Soon enough, you were stirring the soup in this large cauldron while your Socius was dealing with the droves of homeless people attracted to this divine smell. The real kicker here is all the pro-Judge Cidgeth propaganda Julos had plastered all over the stand. So this wasn't an act of kindness...huh.

Nearly all of them looked horrible, they hit rock bottom real hard with many cripples and amputees who were grateful to survive another day in this taurhole. Some went as far as to kiss your hands for this ultimate gift, it reminded you of how lucky you are in the great roulette of life.

As the soup was about to run out, someone sneaked behind the elfryad drawing a knife over her neck while standing behind her.

"Easy there, Uppsa. Crick out and she gets the sho-shlash." said a scrawny one-eared elf thug.

"W-what do you want?" You understood half of what he was saying. No sudden moves, Johann.

"The fuck you think I want? 'Ons , grey n green. Empty your pockets. Right now!"

You knew this shit was going to happened. You wanna say 'I told you so' to Jolus but now is not the time.

"..." She remain silent and calm, almost unphased by knife inches away from her jugular. And of course, in an ironic twist of fate, all of the homeless people had scattered away like rats.

" Nice puppies, hehehe~" Wow, the scum was actually groping her with his free hand " The Unds might like you, heh."

Again, zero reaction. She just stood still like the damn statue she was back in the dorm. Your only hope out there was a patrolling police officer but he is too far away, what are you going to do?

Originally, you wanted to fling the hot soup at the bad guy but you slipped on the snow in your sudden move allowing Julos to... disarm him???? Huh???!

"AAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!! " It happened so fast, you cringed at the sound of his arm breaking after a ruthless twist followed by a roundhouse kick that knocked him on the ground. He sputtered his bloodied front teeth in this well deserved payback, barely conscious after this brutal beatdown.

"Are you alright?" She helped you to stand up, cracking his knuckles afterwards "What?"

>Um, well, urm, nothing...
>Wanna empty his pockets? It is only fair.

" Don't stoop so low like this ever again." Heh, sucker. She never suspected a thing. The elfryad was still mad at you , the worst had passed though. After bringing an officer to the scene to wrap things up, it was smoothing sailing back to Koris.

" Didn't I tell you to stay out of it, boy? "

"Hey, I just came by this in Sanda. Honest."

The dryad pursed her lips disapprovingly " Is that so? Hmph, I will have someone look into this, here , get yourself a new haircut or something."

With that said, you dropped dead in your pod. Can't you just have a normal day for once?

Many students in your dorm were riled up for no good reason , when asked, an elf said " What do you think? It is the C.O.C!"

"And that is....?"

"Cairth Ollad Championship! Our academy versus other academies!"

>How is our team?
>Go Garsis, woowhoo!

>I bet the guys at Sanada cheat a lot

"Don't remind me, It is either Espara's Koschoy or Hilyeath's Meyignis who gets the cup... for forty years straight."

"Ouch, We will win this time. Don't worry." You brought some comfort to the die hard Ollad fan " When will the match start?"

" During break time, Kind of." he replied " We will take half the day off. You can totally skip today's classes if you want, No attendance whatsoever."

"For real?" You blinked twice, unable to swallow this bit of good news.

"Haven't you check your Goopy? "

"Nope, didn't get any new messages." You quickly pull out your phone... nothing.

"Weird, the app is still glitchy. Well, don't want to be late, see ya!"

This elf better not be taurshitting you. Should you really go to Garsis? You are not really that much into Ollad AND you are on a pretty tight schedule with Wrath, Moris and everything in between.

"Oh, I am really not into the violence of Ollad. I must support my friends in anyway that I can. Dryad players appreciate my pre-match prayers." said Veishu while combing his long hair.

" I must attend this match. A display of violence and strategy is most pleasing to me." Maq was on the Ollad train.

"No, It is too vulgar for me. I do have some other plans for the day. I might change them should you want to join me." You had to call Kaz to see what he was up to. Can't say you are surprised.

You don't know what to do, this is one of those rare opportunities to join such an event.

>Go to the academy , only for first two classes then leave [ Morning ( a bit restricted) - Midday- Afternoon actions would be available]

HOME ECONOMICS

_____________________________

The classroom was a ghost town with only seven or so students around you. The pixie looks a bit more relaxed with the majority of her bullies absent. Good for her.

In a span of twenty minutes or so, Mr.Jikhob had showcased how skewed and biased the current system is. Most city-states follow the Mayfly rule which states that the most burdensome race should pay more taxes. According to your teacher, this is the current tax system for Cairth:

E.S= Elven Standard

-Dryads: +0.1 to 0.2% E.S
-Centaurs: +3 to 5% E.S
-Arachnii: +5 to 7.3% E.S
-Humans: +12.4 to 13.4% E.S
-Pixies: +14.5 to 20.41% E.S
-Orcs: 20.5 to 58.8% E.S

Of course, things differs between city states with Gorith have total equality between taxpayers. This whole class was very bleak and depressing; it is like the system is begging orcs to commit crimes so it can further reinforce this shitty system. Before the revolution, taxes were unreal, However, your teacher didn't go in full details about these obsolete laws.

" I need to take a break. Class is dismiskhed." The Arachni was quick to waltz out ten minutes earlier than usual. You thought the few students would be relieved that the class is over, they huffing and sighing in frustration. Even the often cheerful Gwinyr was doodling a noose on her notebook. You never thought such topic would bring so much misery in short notice.

You wanted to pull out your mood to browse your phone but you weren't in the mood like at all. In fact, you are not sure that you want to go to match anymore. Crawling in some hole seems like a very nice idea to you right now.

You never thought the championship was such a big deal , nearly everyone took pride in their awesome team even if we are bound to lose eventually against the two monsters that are Koschoy and Meyignis. The academy spirit was at an all time high with the academy building being a hub of many activities. You felt left out when the cooking class had tons of snacks and Ollad-themed dishes for sale. This was your fault since your didn't join Miss Tangah's program.

There were a small souvenir stand as well other stands from each academy. The ultra rich kids of Hilyeath stood there with a smug on their face as their price tags were in the TENS OF THOUSANDS. They KNEW no one could actually afford whatever they are offering. Naturally, they had CPD officers babysitting their valuables. Damn rich kids.

It shouldn't take long for principal Yurvek to start his speech.

It wasn't hard to find Maq, she always stood out from some reason. Maybe it because of her eyes... they can be too catchy at times.

As you were mere feet away from your fellow hunter, Elenna had showed up from your left. She carried a butt-load of snacks, Maq of course carried some of that load while the dyad were trying to find a seat.

Seeing Maq truly happy was uncommon at best, she is always grumpy or in a very slappy mood.This elf sure knows how to push the right buttons. You asked yourself: Should you butt in between them? You do want to strengthen her celestial bond AND there is the whole LYST thing in mind.

Maq probably will choose to sit next to you. This is however quite a dick move to do so. There is also still time before the principal would begin his speech, sooo....

"Why the long face? Puu!" Gwinyr flicked her middle finger right your forehead.

"Knock it off." You were in the mood like at all.

"Then cheer up, this isn't a funeral you know." Despite your protest, she sat next to you anyways.

"Don't you have Ollheads to bother?"

"I am on a vacation, buddy." She lowered her yellow-tinted glasses "Besides, I got it covered...this is on the perks of being on top."

"..." You rolled your eyes in frustration.

" No friends to watch the match with? That's okay. I can fix that. Consider it as your mmm, Kiss from yesterday. "

"Great! " The elf almost squealed " Oh, here is the principal. Shoot, forgot my snacks, be right back!"

The old elf started his speech by welcoming the other teams and their academy's principal. Doarran's Principal looked like a fisherman through and through minus the stench while Eslakk's orc principal had a pitiful patched suit which made him look like clown. Soenles' was a well dressed elf, very modest in comparison to the two asshats of the rich districts.

It was a long-winded speech which was very boring. Elven snore-fest at its finest. You couldn't afford to shut your eyes for a bit thanks to the media coverage of this event. Maybe you are just too paranoid or maybe there are elven/Ollheads student waiting for the slightest excuse to mess with you.

"What did I miss? " Holy moon! Gwinyr is packing tons of food on two trays stacked on each other " Hold this, will you?"

When they were done blabbering their mouths, it was the cheerleaders' time to shine putting out a spectacular show before bracketing the teams.

Everyone was holding their breaths as they were announced in a quick succession.

"...and finally, Garsis with Koschoy!" A wave of groaning and sighs washed over the seats with students straight up leaving right away. Wow.

You wanted to wipe the smile off the opposing team's faces so bad. The smug bastards were already acting as if they have already won. The match hasn't even started!

"Oooh we are going to loosh shooo badsh." said Gwinyr while crunching those tasty fried squid-pops " Only die hard fansh will bet for our teamsh."

Ah yes, betting. An essential part of Ollad. It isn't as spicy as pontaur though buuuut it is as legal as they come. Are you gonna betray your home team for an almost guaranteed chance for extra pons?

>OBVIOUSLY [ Bet _____ Pons against Garsis, pay out : x1.2 Pons]

Your confidence in Garsis' loss was boasted by many factors: from students leaving to the forty years' legacy of shame. To you, it was a foolproof way to get some quick pons...

Boy, you were wrong.

It was a statistical impossibility for team Garsis to win especially after losing ALL of their pawns in just the first half. How did they pull it off? The King and Queen took one of moon of a beating, that didn't stop them from masterfully owning the opposing team who was quick to crack under pressure.

Team Garsis had finally broken the forty year old curse. The future was looking bright... well kinda..there is still another match in their home turf, next Saturday.

You felt realllly stupid betting all of your money on a bunch of rich kids rather than your home boys and girls. Gotta save up 900 pon by the end of the month or you are toast.

You didn't stick around after the match was over. One sad, sad ticket back to Tenfaro street please...

You were actually going to call the tattooed Stag when the man of the hour just strolled by the dorm looking a bit anxious.

"Avro, O'hann." He gave you quite a hug , very uncharacteristic of him " How's me friend doin' in this fine hour?"

"You are too...friendly. Are you on drugs or something?" You raised your eyebrow suspiciously.

"Ye wound me with yer words, boyo. Let's just say a wee bit short on manpower right now, could use yer help, actually."

"Is the pay good?" was the first question on your mind.

" Of course! Safe and smooth as babies. You comin'?"

"Do you even need to ask? Let's roll!"

You followed red to a dark alley not too far from the megamarket which felt like a slice of Sanda above ground. There, a pixie in flashy clothes with BAD ALTITUDE tattooed on her forehead with black wings fluttering around... and a bat. Wait, shouldn't be it ATTITUDE instead?

Immediately, she started to shout obscenities the moment she laid her eyes on you "The FOOK ya doin'? This uppzta zlag won' cut even harzhven bread with 'iz ztubs! Outta yer moondamn marbles! Fookin louzy cuntpeak! Gyagzookin znortie! ARGH!"

"Woah, woah! Whats going on?" You had bad vibes about this...

" O'hann, this is Zky-High." He stepped between you two in an attempt to cool her raging temper "She is... a friend. The lass ain't exactly a White Stag material b-"

"That wooden ole trout betta zhove her hornz up the duzty tome zhe callz muff. Daft fooking cunt-zhittin-"

"Easy Zky, She is still me boss , yeah?"

Before you could say anything, five shadows loomed over the alley. A centaur, two humans and two orcs. All of them were packing a various assortment of knuckles and chains. The centaur looked like the leader of the bunch. Her tail looked like a freaking barbed club, shit..

"Thanks babe," Red gave the aggressive pixie a quick peck before picking two extra bats she had stashed earlier in a nearby dumpster. The redhead throw you the blue one, of course he would have the red bat.

" 'Member, No killin' or serious maimin'. Few bruises, broken bones and missin' teeth ought to teach'em a lesson." He turned his attention to his friend " Puff us up, Zky."

"Wot bout the little lezchkaran? Think the sorry tozzer can handle me dust?"

"Right, Me boy: I reckon you ne'er snorted the good stuff before, no?" Red bit his lips as the five thugs were approaching.

"I-i have no idea what you ar-"

"Pixie dust, lad! She'll make us see ... red. Pun intended. No pain, just tons of whop-arse. She won't be responsible if ye didn't control yer rage. Scared and/or wan' to fight fair or donna wan' be a junkie ? then stand back!"

"Nah, He'z got it." Her word rang true when the Stag finally knocked the last the orc. Finally, your side stands victorious.

"There we are..." Red wiped the blood off his nose "Listen up ladies and gents: I know who yer working for. Ranzah is on pretty good terms with the White Stag. Let's keep it at that, eh?"

"F-fuck you.." uttered the centaur " You worked...in our turf."

"Just a harmless side gig from me friend over there. You would do the same, eh lass?"

" Let's zplit their pons already!" Zky was tired of waiting.

"Nah, nah, nah. What do they call ye in the Wet, lass?"

" Ulissua." reluctantly, she replied.

" We had a good tussle back there. Wish ye would accept the pons I offered earlier. What's done is done. Here, how is those five stacks for ye and yer boyos? Reckon, this is higher than the science lady was payin yous."

Zky was absolutely seething this whole time the moment he helped the centaur to get up " Buy yerself some drinks and lets leave what happened her all under the rug. Bit of misunderstandin' ,see?"

Slowly, the centaur and Red were helping out the rest of her gang "No hard feelin's?"

"..." While she didn't say anything, she did shake his bloody hand before eventually leaving.

" I am gonna ztring yer USELESS GUTS ALL OVER MIDDEN! Throw the pile of putrid shite in yer noggin to the gullz! Maybe they'll have a fookin use for it more than you do!"

"And this is for ye O'hann. Thanks a bunch." He had 300 pons for you.

"One word to the Ztag and I will hang crick-crack your fookin' walkerz, dig?" Zky swooped in with a quite threat.

"Shames me to work behind me boss. We don't want to spark a gang war over nothing." While he was calmer than before, Red was still bitter about the whole thing.

>I didn't know it was *that* bad. I... am sorry, Red. 300 is more than fine.

Miss Rusvi had followed the ways of Kaff ditching the measly cup of coffee for a thermal jug.

"Aaah~ much better." That's the second cup she poured " Which one of you will tell me the name of all elven city-states? Too much? Let's try five."

Lev was raising her hand like mad. Too bad the history teacher had her eyes on someone else "You look very... tired. Want some?"

[N-no..Thank you.] a robo-chirp came out of Naviesh while trying to avoid the snarky remarks from other mean students.

"Eh, more for me. Anyone *besides* Leviarine? Please give the rest of your colleagues a chance."

+++++Study [Rank up!]

"Very good, very good." She ignored the fact that your kinda cheating when you included Cairth. It did feel like a geography lesson to you more than a history one. The current city states are classified as follows:

Old World C.S [10*]

This refers to elven kingdoms which had a low king serving the High King in the main two continents. Some of these kingdoms had only fought the High king during the unification wars before joining his side. They are often end with the -th suffix.

-Ovrimeth*: The seat of power for the elven empire and her last High King. After the revolution, the land was evenly split between neighboring city stats

-Nileth: The third most powerful city state after Hothreth and Keneryth. Throughout the last few decades, Nileth had became an industrial giant in various fields from energy to production to advanced weaponry.

-Cairth: A rising city state in power, it used to rely heavily on the fish industry. Recently, it has branched out to medical advancements and prosthetics. It has 17% of the world's natural resources but it is still yet to fully exploit them.

-Hothreth: Or the flaming horn of the east. They have been in a state of war with Keneryth for over 1385 years. Many high kings tried to quell this meaningless squabbles but none had fully succeeded. so they would let just allow them to fight each other as long as they swore allegiance to the high king. Both city states (or Hives as they like to call themselves) are considered to be the most populous and the richest. The Sanguine is a strait separating the two city states. So much blood had spilled there that the soldiers from both side are facing a third enemy: The ravenous wildlife both on sea and land which had adapted to this endless struggle.

-Keneryth: Or the frigid horn of the west, it is home to over 521 Million elves and their respective slaves. Nearly half of which is dedicated to the war efforts in one war or another. They won't rest until their sworn enemy lies dead in their own pool of blood. Other city states often have good trade relations with both sides (They don't mind this actually). The rest of the world had learned to simply watch millions of people die in that damn strait in silence.

Yerth:: A tropical city state known for its fertile soil, captivating beaches, only residing in the footnotes of history for the most part. They have seen few conflicts and prefer it that way. They are one of the few places where the revolution had occurred without bloodshed. It was a peaceful transition of power with the low king and his family living in a simple homestead on a nearby island.

-Gorith: The thorn in the revolution's side, their equality had costed them dearly. It suffers from heavy sanctions from other city states.

-Gaeleth: One of the poorest city states thanks to their diseased-infested and swampy lands. No arable land, no resources to speak off...just one giant turtle instead.

1/?
>>
>>5078496

-Fereaith: Or the land of none. It is the least populated and the smallest city-state in the world with only ~10k elves in this frozen landscape. Experts claim that the hermit-like elves will eventually vanish in about 200 years or so due to declining birthrates.

-Qansolith: Swathes of desert rich with oil, Qansolith is by far the most luxurious city-state in the world. Their slaves have built a utopia among blistering dunes and scorching sun. Their living standards put previous low-kings to shame.

New World C.S [5*]

This refers to often isolated and secluded elven kingdom which was discovered by dashing explorers around the world. They were forcibly brought to their knees by the high king who would often try to force his culture upon them.

-Ryukaa*: A group of various artisans who sought claimed an island to pursue their wild dreams. Various forms of art were eventually noticed by passing traders. Their lifework became most valuable among bluebloods, many of different kingdoms showered them with gold for their overpriced commissioned art. It was their eventual downfall as their art became more depraved in nature. Anything could be considered as a 'Art'. Cannibalism? Art. Child Sacrifices? Art. The last straw was the series of poems which was so obscene that it incurred the wrath of a nearby low king who killed them down to the last man, woman and child. Their island is now deserted, claimed by nature.

-Fari-Far: They had a vast underground kingdom with thousands of caverns and tunnel spanning over sever city-states. The elves were actually quite friendly to their new overlords sharing their knowledge of mushroom cultivation and the like. Till this day, they are not used to the burning Eye-Devil that is the sun. Even though they didn't see Satha before, their birth cycle coincides with its convergence, very strange.

-Sariib: They hail from a series of islands in a desolate ocean with the nearest land mass being 1832 KM away. They are obsessed with Ollad once it was introduced to their isles. Not much to say about them.

-Kitiinaaga: A subcontinent which was purely hidden from the outside world by a serious of mountain both by land and sea. Home of over 60% of the world current giant monsters.

-Lo-defrah: The indigenous people of the highest mountain in the world (Defrah). These elves live in cliffside houses carved in stone. They are extremely religious with their equivalent of their moon priestess being their figure-head no matter how many tries the other city states had attempted to install a proper council there.

Semi-Autonomous, Autonomous and disputed territories [143]


Miss Rusvi didn't have time to go through each and every one of those. Next time, she said. Wow, the world is way bigger than you originally thought. Good thing she stopped because your brain was fried by then.

The elevator took you to .. a dark and dreary maze of rusty cages filled with rotten gyags or living ones with gaping holes and festering wounds squealing for a sweet release. The ceramic floor was covered with grime, piss, bile and shit with dried blood painted on the crumbling pillars. Moons above, the smell alone! It is making yo-

"BLRAAGH!" Yep, The masked dryad threw up "H-how could she do this to these poor, innocent creatures?"

"We are gonna put a stop to that." You gave him a napkin to clean himself up.

"Do you hear that?" You filtering the woes of pain for second. Is that...plapping ? Flesh slamming against flesh. The depravity of this Zirtifit!

"I think she is this way. Come'on, Veishu?"

"Conjurations or not, We can not leave these creatures to suffer. Free them first and I will heal them."

You also did notice a faint trail of a slimy liquid leading... somewhere. Might take some snooping to follow its source. Veishu didn't look at all, he may have to rest a bit before the confrontation.

One by one, the six-legged creatures were fully healed after unlocking their cage.

"Good boy, ahh that tickles!" They were all over Veishu licking and nuzzling him. It was a joyous sight that just melted your heart.

"Oh, Johann? I think they are following you."

"Me, why?" You felt obliged to pet a couple of these fugly not!dogs "Well, come along then."

The maze had finally came to an end where the source of all that plapping was coming from.

"3...2..1.." You went shoulder first into the double door. Oh-oh moon. That's...that's disgusting! All those spiky... and Oh. This is...this...you are out of words to describing the bleach that is burning your eyes right now.

The corpse of her last victim was cast aside with a loud thud as Zirtifit Monshe turned her lewd gaze towards you and Veishu. Ohh, it is dripping blood..ohhhhh.

「H-how can I stop?」The pixie started to cry 「I used to *love* them, u-used to *raise* them in our shitty farm until they, I-i can't..the memories...」Few gyags had softened a little while the rest remain aggressive as ever ready to maul her in a matter of seconds.

Veishu was actually tearing up for her as she continued 「I made it in the end as one of hiz white baztardz. I had the ponz, the power...All I wanted waz revenge. I-」

At this exact moment, one of the gyags had nestled between her lap to lick her tears 「I AM ZORRY ZO ZO ZORRY!」

The subtle black aura surrounding her body was gone in an instant, replaced by a white one as the scenery had changed into a lovely farm just outside of Cairth. ' Zix-Tappy Happy Farm' was its name.

"Damn it , Paloa." Why didn't he tell you this creepy ass mouth-treasure thing? Where do you even begin ?

Imagine having a molar as a shell with a gnarly mouth filled with jagged teeth. This is not the end of this disgusting cache, it had a long pulsating tongue resting on the floor like some fleshy carpet. This is where your prize is waiting for you.

"Johann, I think this... creature is sleeping."

"Maq would call them actors but yeah, I see that." The weapons themselves were embedded in the tongue itself, naturally, pulling them off would wake it up.

"I want them weapons, let's beat its up!"

"W-wait, look around." Oh wow, the place is quite bloody with remnants of Makka from slain shadows... wait a sec... is this an actor or a really powerful shadow?

What seemed to be one of the endless skyscrapers had quite a secret in its steel belly. Wading inside this long forgotten death trap wasn't easy but you did it anyways.

"What am I looking at here, Veishu?"

" The Vei-daffraam, or Void-Blood. The blood of the universe. In essence, it is s-space. I think, it is in few of our prayers... none had actually seen it." It initially looked like a murky black pond but there is more to meet the eye around here...

Cold, Everything near the cosmic pond was covered in black ice. Furthermore, all the light was somehow swallowed by the pond like some sort of a black hole. Providence's blue hue was the only thing allowing you two to see anything in the first place.

「Gain/must/offer/lost <My Child> 」 It was one of the few time she spoke directly to Veishu who simply nodded.

" I don't get it."

" How to put it in easier terms?" Veishu paused briefly " Ah yes, imagine the Vei-daffraam as the water in the ocean and everyone as sea creatures. What will happened if we drain all the water?"

"Everyone will die out and eventually dies?"

" Exactly. Vei-daffraam is the lifeblood of planets, moons and stars. If we disturb it, just by a tiny bit, We will disturb the cosmic balance. We will gain something but something will be lost, perhaps in the past or the future. It is unknown."

"Uh, huh. How can use this thing?"

"Johann, Pleas-"

"We need any kinda of advantage on the long run. Come on, tell me."

"..." He took a deep breath first " Supposedly, it can prolong our time in the living world. And... I think I can learn a new word from it. The black ice can teach us a new spell."
