Alright people, I know this is a day early, but after taking another look at my schedule, and given my hopes for this quest, I have decided to adopt what I call the Stewart92 Quest method. This means that there will be an update every other day, and most likely same day postings in high stress situations, such as fighting, which we are fast approaching. So, without any rambling, here is the winning vote:
[X] A Strange haze: Wisdom +1, ?, ?, Awareness
Now, Let's see how it goes.
'All was as it should be.' Jack thought as he overlooked his kingdom.
And what a kingdom it was. With sleek, black buildings that scrapped against the sky, displaying their undying loyalty to their fair ruler. With the legions of steel and tungsten dotting the sky's, keeping him and his empire safe. With the populace hard at work to please him, and themselves using the technology only he could provide.
Yes, it was a good day to be Evil.
The only thing that remained now, was what did he do now? the Earth was his, so what did he do with his time? he was still a BOY genius, and ruling for the majority of his life sounded boring. Jack pondered this as he stared into the cloud free sky above his head.
Hmmm, there was a thought. Why stop at Earth? with his technology, terraforming would be a snap, and who would stop him? Who knows, maybe he would find aliens!
As he started to hype himself up, Jack quickly snapped out of it as he took note of what looked like a purple storm cloud on the edge of his castle.
'Why is that there? The Weatherbots should be keeping everything dry, and sunny where ever I go.' Jack thought, a frown coming to his face as he imagined having to fix the apparently dysfunctional bot.
So, it was with these thoughts that Jack was very surprised when the cloud seemed to be moving directly towards him.
That was, until he heard the voice.
"Ah, so, a Heart that dreams of Conquest. A Soul seeking to drown the World in Darkness. What a Quaint sight. Yes, You will do Nicely."
"Who's there! Reveal Yourself at Once, or be destroyed!" Jack yelled out, eyes desperately trying to see where the voice was coming from.
"Ah, so You CAN hear me. Good, Good. This One is pleased that you have some speck of brain between your ears. And where am I? Well, will recognize me soon enough." The voice spoke once again, but closer this time. because of this, Jack could hear the almost echo-y effect it had, as if multiple voices were speaking at once. It was more than a little creepy.
"What are you talking about! Who are you! Jackbots, find the intruder!" Jack screamed out, tired of being made a fool of in his own castle. At his call, hundreds of Bots seemed to pour into the room from various doors, windows, and even from a fireplace.
"Oh-ho? Creations of the modern era? Times truly have changed...but they make no difference, in the End. You shall still free me in the end." The voice once more responded, slowly getting clearer.
"Whatever, whoever you are! I'm sick of this! Show yourself so I can deal with you personally!" Jack once again shouted to the room.
"Hmph. Very well. if that is what you WISH!" the voice seemed to begin, before erupting in volume, screaming directly in his ear, and causing something to appear right before Jack's face.
It looked almost like a Japanese Noh mask, if not for the fact that it was completely flat, with a pair of teeth set into a perpetual snarl, and a Black bandit mask around its with and red-swirled eyes. It also had what looked like arms and Hair?-tentacles coming out behind the mask, making it appear to almost be a mask octopus or something.
Spoiler: mysterious mask
"AAAAAAAIIII-
*Dream End*
"IIIIIIEEEEEEEEE!" Jack let out an incredibly girly and shrill scream as he was jolted back into consciousness.
He quickly took note of his surroundings, looking for any signs of the scary specter, and soon calmed down when he only found the familiar vision of his labs bedroom.
"Man...what a dream. Guess I'm not sleeping again tonight. But still, what was up with that." Jack said to himself as he got out of bed, and had his Jackbots get his favorite lounging cloak.
As he pondered the strange dream. he caught his eye being drawn to the puzzle box his Uncle had sent him from that Hong Kong flea market. Something about it being cursed or something.
But Jack shook that thought away. After all, there was no such thing as magic, right?
So, with boredom quickly setting back in jack decided too...

Alright ya'll, that's all for now. But, before I go, I want to ask something of you all. Please, spread word of this quest if you can. I want this to reach the likes of Xander Quest, or One Ring. I want to become someone KNOWN. And thank you so much to those of you who always vote whenever I update. It make my heart swell a little bit each time. So, please, it would mean the world of me. Also, Next chapter, whether we awaken Wuya or not, we will obtain a Shen Gon Wu.
See you all On Friday! Unless I do an Interlude.
