Authors Note: Hi this is my first fanfiction and as such will probably be rife with spelling mistakes, and will likely have a distinct lack of professional storytelling. This will not be much of a problem to me though as this was a request friend and is more for their benefit than anyone else. That does not mean I do not want constructive criticism or helpful reviews as these can help me improve my writing skills and therefore would be appreciated.

Warning to those who will be reading this: This fanfic, as requested by my friend, will have an OP MC and will most likely contain M rated themes, whether it be violence or sexual content. In regards to the sexual content it will almost certainly be yuri, as the OC is female and it is one of the things my friend has requested. If anyone has issues with this sort of content then do not continue reading.

Disclaimer: I do not own Monster Girl Quest.

PS: My OC's name is Alice, sorry if this will cause some confusion. I will say now that Alipheese Fateburn will not be encountered until her plot appearance arrives so the Alice you encounter before then is my OC.

She was almost there. She was the greatest explorer the world has ever known!

She had traveled through harsh deserts, cut through the most dense jungles and tamed the mightiest seas! Now she was almost at the peak of the highest mountain to obtain her prize. The legendary COOKIE OF CHIPPED CHOCOLATE! She was so close, just a few more meters, she could see it!

She took it in her hands and gazed on its delicious spotted surface. This was it, the moment she had striven for, to eat the most delicious cookie ever chipped. She slowly took the-

BANG!

"UWAAH!".

Thud

Alice rubbed her head and looked around for the perpetrator, the foul asshole who awoke her before she could taste victory. She'd tried so hard and got so far, didn't any of that even matter?

Then she saw him, that prick, that asshole...her brother Viktor, standing there holding a revolver (probably full of blanks) with a shit-eating grin plastered over his face.

She should destroy him were he stands for his crime, but now was not the time for revenge, she wasn't strong enough. But she vowed then and there to avenge her interrupted dream.

"WHY'D YOU HAVE TO DO THAT IT WAS GETTING TO THE BEST PART!"

"Exactly, that's the best time to interrupt a dream..."

The nerve.

"...besides, you were meant to be up two hours ago, seriously I expected this tardiness from Achlys but not you."

"Two hours ago?"

Alice looked over to her clock and realized that it was now 11:13. She knew being up two hours late was bad….

Wait late? Late for what?

"Whats happening today?"

Viktor simply raised an eyebrow and stared incredulously.

"World jumping? Totally excited for two weeks straight? Promised to get up early?"

"THAT'S TODAY!"

That's it. Viktor has officially been forgiven, and the cookie forgotten. World Jumping TODAY!

I can't believe its finally happening I'm gonna go into my first world… I mean sure Viktor does it all the time, and says it isn't a big deal BUT SERIOUSLY, I've been cooped up in Baskerville Hall WAAAY too long, and besides if I'm gonna get stronger I need to get outta here.

"Glad to see your memory is intact. I'll be in the Auger room when you're ready."

...This was actually happening. I was going to my first world…. I should probably get dressed.

Deciding to just go with my usual getup I put on a deep navy-blue sleeved dress, that almost reached my knees, pulled up a pair of stockings, the same color as the dress and pulled on a pair of combat boots, again the same color. I then went over and picked up my pocket watch, it was a beautiful piece of work, made of a navy colored precious stone that had been hollowed out and filled with gears. It had golden ornamentation surrounding it and the craftsmanship was to an otherworldly perfection.

Let it never be said that Viktor's work is ever flawed.

I then headed out of my room and went to search for my other two thirds, Achlys and Macathee.

Normally I'd probably not bother but Achlys would get pretty pissed if I went ahead without her and … actually Macathee probably wouldn't care that much.

I decided that the best place to look would be the gym, Achlys was probably taking some non-existent frustrations out on the poor wounded punching bag.

When I entered I was in for a not very big surprise.

Achlys had planned to ambush me.

"HAAAA-

CRASH

"..."

"...why did you dodge." Achlys asked while nursing her poor foot that accidentally made contact with the wall beside me.

"Because I have no intention of looking bruised on my first world jump. Are you coming or what?"

Her face lit up in recognition.

"Of course I'm coming, I can't have Ali-Chan getting killed on her first world jump."

"But you tried to fly-kick me."

"It was training, for uh, reflexes and… um...defense skills?"

"..."

"..."

"Lets just go find Macathee."

"Okay."

It took awhile but we eventually found her just sitting in her room.

Why didn't we check her room first?….. Shut up.

We all then made our way to the Auger room were Viktor was waiting for us.

We'd only been here once before when Viktor permitted us to see Solomon use the Auger.

I was getting slightly scared, the auger looked like some big blue orb with varying golden rings surrounding it that all rotated on their own axis, it was mesmerizing.

"Alright." Viktor spoke up,

"Now that all three of you are here I'm gonna give you a quick breakdown of how this will work. A world will be chosen, you will pass through the Auger, its that simple. The Auger will do the rest for you. It will create what we refer to as a crypt on the world you are jumping to. After some time it will energize enough to unseal itself and will awaken you. It can serve as temporary accommodation if required.

As you know you are beings far beyond the limitations of any worlds inhabitants. Whether you decide to reveal what you are to anyone else is entirely up to you. Furthermore as more than one person are going at once, each will have a separate crypt in differing locations, each will open at different times, with Alice's opening first and Macathee's last. The only guarantee I can give is that each crypt will be the same distance from the others.

Now having said all this.. what kind of world are you looking for?"

At that we all paused. We'd been so excited for world jumping we hadn't thought about were we actually wanted to go..

"Well, I guess somewhere with monsters, and magical abilities we can replicate."

"I want weapons. Swords, guns or whatever, doesn't really matter to me."

"…blood..."

Everyone just kinda stared awkwardly at Macathee. I mean seriously you don't just say that and smile serenely like you've seen a beautiful sunset. Sis' got issues.

"Ahem, anyway I get the gist. Magic, monsters and enough violence to employ weaponry and satisfy certain…. Urges?"

We all nodded.

"Okay then, one more thing, you're likely interested in how to replicate all the tasty DNA, magic and tech you come across right? Well its quite simple, we Deus Rex have a natural appendage that doesn't require prior replication. It is a tail like appendage with a.. 'maw' at the end of it. While it is perfectly capable of ingesting material into your body that is not its purpose. It s also capable of acting as a magic focus for spells and such but that's beside the point.

When you first use it, it will "scan" the target. This will copy their DNA, their Magical abilities and their Semantic knowledge. However to actually use the abilities gained you must 'devour' targets with suitable biomass and/or mana reserves. This does not actually involve eating them but rather weakening them to the point where they cannot resist the 'devour' ability, which will disintegrate the target into particles which are then absorbed by cilia like organs within the tail.

You should be able to use these abilities easily, however do not try to modify any of the 'blueprints' before I can teach you, after all its very tricky and something could go wrong."

After the explanation on how our powers would work he then turned to a panel and started fiddling with the controls, presumably to locate and choose an appropriate world to throw us in.

Whatever he was doing obviously had an effect on the Auger as the rings started to move more rapidly and the once blue orb started to turn orange.

I watched mesmerized as patterns made by the Augers rings repeated in front of me faster and faster.

The orb was turning bright red and was now thrumming very loudly. I was feeling just a little intimidated.

Then from red the orb was turning to a blinding white color and the rings were spinning so fast I could no longer see them and stars were filling my vision and then as quickly as it was happening it stopped.

The rings had aligned and stretched out in a tunnel shape, at the end was a white ring filled with what looked like liquid silver. The portal had opened.

"Now its quite simple, just go through the portal and wait to be unsealed then do whatever you want, and remember, if you need me all you gotta do is call my name and no matter where I am ill hear you, got it?"

"""Got it"""

"Alright, whenever your ready."

I turned to the Auger and started walking through the ring tunnel towards the portal. I was a little nervous because not 5 minutes ago these rings were moving faster than I could see them. And when I reached the portal I stopped.

I'd been so excited for this earlier but it was now hitting me that I was getting out of my comfort zone.

Then I heard Viktor.

"Oh by the way, don't be scared by how the portal feels trust me, you'll be fine"

...Well that's encouraging. I slowly reached a finger to poke the portal and it felt cold. I tried to pull my hand away but it was stuck, the portal sucking me in. I was concerned at first but then remembered that Viktor said it would be weird so I let it happen I was pulled through into a dark void and I was floating in this void when I heard Viktor's voice from seemingly nowhere.

"This is Limbo, where your mind will remain until you are unsealed, your body has already been transported and is in its crypt. Achlys and Macathee have also been transported."

"What happens now?"

"Now? You wait, wait until you're Crypt unseals, don't worry time will pass faster in limbo."

...Great now more waiting. At least I can sleep in.

POV Luka

It was a lovely day all things considered. I mean just today a few more heroes came to be baptized, and I got to learn a few more moves. Soon I will be the best swordsman the world has ever known, and five years from now, I'll be baptized myself and become a true hero.

After all someone has to stop the Monster Lord from ruining the possibility of peace between humans and monsters. And that someone will be me.

I was starting to head home after getting one of the heroes to show me some moves when i saw something weird. It looked like there was a glowing light flying down from heaven. I knew it couldn't be Ilias because I had seen her fly down before for the baptizing ceremony and she always appeared as a radiant light descending gracefully to our world, whereas this light was blue and was descending rapidly to somewhere east of Ilias village, not very far away.

I then decided to do the responsible thing any good hero should do and investigate.

I was slowly making my way through the forest when I came across something odd.

There was a strange flat circular structure made of some kind of opaque crystal, set in the ground. It was covered all around in glowing runes and patterns.

Suddenly I heard a strange humming sound and parts of the circular structure began to sink into the ground making a stairway down onto a dark tunnel. It was quite scary, but I wouldn't back away, a Hero couldn't be a coward.

I made my way slowly down the steps which led down into a large room. The walls, ceiling and floors were all made of this weird crystal and seemed remarkably clean.

"Hello?" I called out into the room, listening to my own voice echoing off the pristine walls, as I ventured deeper into the room, Then I saw it. It looked a lot like a coffin, but was made of the same crystal stuff. Would that make it a sarcophagus? It seemed a bit small, maybe a child? I don't know the specifics so wont think too hard on it. It would be dishonorable to bother the dead so I was going to leave when I heard a humming that stopped me in my tracks. Strange runes were beginning to glow on the sarcophagus and it began to slide open.

I think I might be in trouble, I must have angered some ancient dead spirit that now will seek vengeance upon humanity. I cannot let It escape and hurt people, ill fight it if I have to even if-

It's a… girl?

POV Alice

Lights, I'm seeing lights in Limbo?

Maybe they're supposed to happen?

I noticed the lights were gathering, filling my vision with a blinding glow then it stopped. And suddenly I felt something I hadn't in Limbo. Something solid. I started to touch around me when I noticed I was in a box, about the same length and width as myself. Any normal person would probably get claustrophobic, or afraid that they are in a coffin shaped box, but thankfully I was smart enough to think it through rationally. I was likely inside the crypt now, and this box was simply keeping my body safe until it was unsealed.

Now how do I get out? Do I push?

I tried pushing but it seemed to not achieve anything. I looked around for a few seconds when I noticed a faintly glowing rune on the 'lid' that was practically begging to be touched. After mentally face-palming for ignoring such an obvious thing, I reached over and touched the rune, which began to glow with greater intensity. More runes started to appear across the surface and the lid started to slide off.

ITS ALIVE!

I giggled at my inner joke and waited for the lid to open and when it did I was somewhat shocked to find that I was not the only creature occupying the crypt. There was a small boy with purple hair. He didn't look especially hostile but that sword could do a number on me in my current state.

"..."

"um...hi?"

Hi? He just saw a sarcophagus open with a living person inside and he says hi?

"...hello."

"...um..sorry to bother you, but are you an evil spirit planning to take vengeance on humanity?"

...what?

"..b..because if you are," he points his sword at me "..I..I'll have t..to stop you."

The nerve, I'm not an evil spirit.

"Rude."

"What?"

"I spend who knows how long sitting around in Limbo, finally wake up and the first greeting I get is 'hello are you an evil spirit?' I mean come on, do I look like a spirit to you, never mind an evil one?"

He paused for a moment and seemed to consider the point.

"..w...well you're the one that came out of a coffin!"

"Sarcophagus."

"Whatever, the point is, you were in a box for dead people."

"Are you saying that because this box is for dead people means that a living person can't sit in one?"

"…..well...no.. But what was I supposed to think!"

….I mean he technically had a point, judging by his attire and armament I would guess that I'm in a medieval world. This kid just entered a strange crystal structure in the ground, found a sarcophagus covered in runes that suddenly decided to open. Its not like he's the only person who would come to that conclusion.

Whatever may as well get some info.

"Doesn't matter anyway, who are you?"

"My name is Luka, I'm training to become a hero, so that one day I will defeat the Monster lord!"

Monster Lord? That sounds interesting.

"Whats a Monster Lord?"

Obviously that was an odd question to ask given Luka's current attempt to mime a tuna.

"You don't know what the monster lord is?"

"Nope."

"Do you know who Ilias is?"

"...no."

"Do you know what a human is?"

Cheeky bastard.

"You're a human."

"Yes and so are you.." then his face became a bit apprehensive "I think."

"I can guarantee that I am most certainly not human."

At this his eyes widened and his hand edged towards his sword.

"So, you're a monster then aren't you."

"What?"

"Your gonna try and make me submit to your lustful ways, but I wont! As a hero and devout follower of Ilias I will not allow you to have intercourse with me!"

What the fuck.

"What! No why would I want to do that?"

"Because that's what monsters do."

What an idiot, says he's gonna be a hero and spouts nonsense like that.

"I'm not a monster, I'm a Deus Rex."

"...Whats that?"

"Does it matter? Look I'm not interested in having intercourse especially not with you."

"Then aren't you human? I mean, you look human."

I simply stared at him for a few moments until I decided.

Ah what the hell, can't hurt to prove it.

I then decide to prove my lineage buy sprouting my tail.

To say he took it well would be a lie.

"So you are a monster."

"No I'm not."

"Humans don't have tails."

"Humans also don't have wings."

"Your point?"

"Or halos."

At that he stopped, apparently my vague description of an angel caught his attention.

He seemed pretty annoyed.

"Are you saying that Ilias is a monster?"

"No, You are."

Now he was shocked.

"By believing that a non human must be a monster, you're the one who implied it."

He then stopped to think about it and then seemed resigned.

He sighed.

"So you're really not a monster."

"Nope pretty sure a monster would know what this 'Monster Lord' is anyhow."

He nodded, apparently accepting this answer. That's good I guess, can't have him trying to kill me so soon in my adventure.

Now to make him useful.

"Luka?"

"Yes?"

"Where do you come from?"

"I come from Ilias Village."

"Where's that?"

"Is there anything you do know? Whats the last thing you remember?"

I opened my mouth to speak but I can't tell him about Baskerville Hall so the best option is to fake amnesia.

POV Luka

"...Whats the last thing you remember?"

The strange girl opened her mouth to speak but then stopped, she seemed to try this a few more times before stopping.

"I… Don't know."

"You don't know?"

That wasn't good, she must have amnesia, no wonder she doesn't know of the Monster Lord or Ilias or any of that. Well a hero can't leave people in trouble so I have to help her.

"Well it doesn't matter, why don't you come to Ilias village with me?"

She simply looked at me with that blank expression she'd been using the whole time, it was kinda creeping me out, she didn't seem to smile, get angry or annoyed. The only way to tell was her voice or what she said.

"Why not?'

"You'll have to hide your tail though."

She tilted her head questioning my statement.

"People in Ilias village will think your a monster and kill you."

"Then why didn't you kill me?"

"Well for one, you weren't planning on doing anything so I didn't have to fight you, and I'm a pacifist anyway."

"A pacifist that carries a sword?"

"I just want peace between humans and monsters, I'll fight for it if I have to."

"Understandable, only idiots believe peace comes on its own."

"…"

"..."

"We should probably get going before it gets dark."

She nodded.

"Lead the way."

We began the journey home and while we went I couldn't help but notice the girl staring around at everything in wonder, from grass, to trees to the stars that were now appearing in the dark sky.

I really need to stop calling her 'the girl'.

"By the way, you never told me your name."

"...Alice."

"Alice… it suits you."

"Thanks I guess."

"Never seen the stars before?"

"If I have I don't remember it."

Ah yeah that's probably a sore topic I shouldn't push it.

"So Alice."

"Yeah?"

"What do you want to do?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, after you get to Ilias village, what are you gonna do, you gonna settle and get a job?"

"Oh, no I'm going to go on an adventure. Seeing as I Know nothing about this world, I want to explore it, then ill decide on what to do next."

"Well I intend to get get baptized as a Hero five years from now when I'm eighteen, so how about you stay in Ilias village and earn some money, then we can go together."

"Earn money?"

"You can't go on an adventure without being prepared, you'll need money to get equipment and provisions."

She seemed to accept that answer, though seeing as her expression never changed it was hard to tell.

They continued walking toward their destination, he knew they were almost there. He noticed Alice's odd tail had opened at the end. It had what looked like four 'lips' that had opened out in a similar fashion to petals on a flower and was sucking in some strange mist that was coming off of various plants that she aimed it at.

"What are you doing?"

"Hmm? Oh I'm replicating them."

Replicating?

"Whats that mean?"

"I am a Deus Rex, our tail is used to replicate almost anything we point it at. For example I'm replicating these plants and trees."

"What does that do?"

"Well for starters I could shape-shift into whatever I replicate, for example if I replicate a squirrel, I can turn into a squirrel."

My eyes widened in amazement. That was an impossibly useful ability.

"So you could turn into a tree?"

She seemed to ponder this for a few seconds.

"If I had enough energy yes. Though turning into a tree would only be helpful in certain circumstances. That doesn't mean I can't just grow bark as armor though."

That sounded cool… WAIT A MINUTE

"...Would you be able to replicate an angel? Or a dragon?"

"If either was nearby, absolutely."

Whoa…. That was cool.

"Though replication is one thing, using a replication is another."

"What do you mean?"

"Do you know what a blueprint is?"

That's those things builders use right?

"Yes."

"Imagine a builder has a blueprint for a Wooden Shed, can he build the shed without the materials?"

"Of course not."

"It's the same principle, if I don't have energy I can't use my 'blueprints'."

"I see.. Oh look we're almost there."

She looked over were I pointed to see a village with a few scattered houses and a temple in the midst.

I was happy to be home, I was getting kinda worried a monster would appear.

Then I thought for a moment.

"Do you want to stay with me?"

She simply looked expecting an explanation.

"I mean, you've got nowhere to stay at the minute, no money to stay at the inn, and I'm the only one in the village who wont kill you on the spot for having a tail."

"That makes sense."

We made our way to my house and when we entered I suddenly realized how tired I felt. I wanted to jump into bed but realized an issue. I had only one bed, and I couldn't in good conscience allow myself a bed and Alice to sleep elsewhere, though she seemed to have already sorted this issue out by curling up on an old recliner chair and falling asleep. Comparing her to the seat I realized she was pretty small, about four foot… maybe a little taller. I hadn't really noticed earlier because I am also pretty small.

But I'm only thirteen I'm sure I'll hit a growth spurt.

With that I decided to go to bed, I'll see if Alice can get herself a job, maybe butter up the librarian enough to allow her to go in and read as much as she wants. After all, maybe a few books about the world will help in her adventure.

A/N: And that's my first chapter done. Hope it's a decent enough read, I may be doing this for my friend but I do have pride of my own like any other human being so if you feel there's somewhere I can improve please do review. I'd rather no pointless flames such as: "I hate your work it's shit, you're shit and your computer's shit."

I'd much rather that constructive criticism is given to my writing/storytelling ability. Thank you for reading.
