Blazing Heart Frigid Soul: Oml your right XD. Don't worry by the time you've read this I have already changed it. And nope it's not Tokyo Ghoul, it's something else entirely which will be revealed in the coming chapters. You can call it a Ghoul. I'll call it a Demon. Also an Omake doesn't sound that bad of an idea XD.
TranslatorPS: I live in Ireland, hence why I know about Eirtakon, Spars, Gamers World, Chicken Rolls etc around here. Are you from Ireland too? :D
Indecisive-san: *Thumbs up*
Lordcarroty: Thanks! Oh and the woman's identity? That's for you to find out in the coming chapters ;)
Rangle: I have to disagree on that notion my friend. For here with Alaster, all games are fun and enjoyable.

Chapter 6 - Oh Great, Another one...
Two days later, Instance #1 - Tamriel
Location: Nestmother's Den, (7.45am, Real World)
Alaster duck down just in time to avoid a Strike from an abnormally large Giant Snake; a type of reptilian serpentine creature that exists in Tamriel. As of right now, Alaster is currently undergoing a boss raid in his first Instance of Tamriel, and as for the current status of his situation with the boss of the location that he had chosen for today, it's looking to be difficult.
No difficult than groping some girl's perfectly shaped tits on a Saturday morning…
Speaking of said girl with perfectly shaped tits is getting complimented by a random girl in pink a good thing or a bad thing...?
He'll never know the answer to that question, and he doesn't think that his question would ever be answered.
Anyways, as much as he loves playing his games, he also very much would like to live long too, otherwise how else would he enjoy his games anyways? But as well as new Gear and Experience points for his Profiles, it's also another way for him to train himself by combating against Tamriel's many enemies, with one group of them being the World Bosses; powerful and unique bosses located in different parts of Tamriel for Alaster to face and defeat and once defeated he would be rewarded with some new Gear along with some achievement unlocks.
Alaster didn't have to worry about spending too much time within his Instances as time here runs very cliche, differently to that of the outside world. An hour in this world is like a minute for Alaster, and because of it he really took advantage of this when it came to his daily grinds and level progressions.
Which has now lead him to this particular scene of him trying to slay the boss of this area. The world boss that he is hunting right now is known as the Nest Mother; a more powerful and unique version of the Giant Snakes that he is also facing. With her for some reason are two Giant Snakes which he has no idea why they were here with the boss. Normally it's only the boss itself that's present…
Thinking for another on that, but right now, he'll need to worry about slaying them first of all
Easier said than done right?
No, it's not that simple really…
Especially when your entire squad dies and your the only one left.
"Behind you"
Using a large rock as a springboard Alaster launched himself up into the air, just in time to narrowly avoid the closing jaws of the Den Mother destroying the rock that he had used as a springboard in the process. Landing on its back Alaster made a beeline towards the end of the large snake's tail before jumping off and headed to cover
"Thanks Ddraig!" Alaster thanked the Red Dragon in his head "I would have been lunch there!"
"Your welcome" Ddraig answered back "Anyways, I want to talk about your fighting style for a second"
His words made Alaster nearly lose his footing as he continued to be chased by another Giant Snake
"Of all times you choose this moment in which my life is endangered to talk about shit like that!?" Alaster nearly screamed in disbelief, twirling around to face the Serpent and coating his right hand in flames he delivered a Searing Strike into the snake's face, making it recoil back as it hissed in pain and also left a burnt claw mark on its face.
[Giant Snake #1]
HP: 6,000 - 410 = 5,590
*Burn: 1080 hp loss after 8.5 secs*
"Ugh! Just say what you have to say now or something!" Alaster barked, narrowly dodging another attempt at his life "Otherwise are you trying to get me killed with what you just said to me!?"
"...I was going to say that your fighting style is...sloppy as I can say"
"Sloppy!?" Alaster launched a powerful version of a Fiery Breath at another Giant Snake that tried to sneak up on him. The attack tore through the serpent's skin, carving a gaping hole through its body as it collapsed down dead
[Giant Snake #2]
HP: 410 - 500 = 0
One down, one more to go and then it's the Den Mother herself.
"How am I sloppy!? Please explain why to me!"
"Have you ever trained yourself to fight in your entire life?" Ddraig asked him
Alaster paused midway in his casting "Well now that you mention it, I never really taught myself how to fight besides self-defence classes…" he murmured, moving his head to the side in order to dodge some green projectile with a weird smell to it.
"And that's the reason why I called your fighting style sloppy. Now don't get me wrong, you're perfectly fine at range but when your up close and personal taking the fight to the enemy, I can't help but notice some sloppy moves and openings on your part"
"I see…" Alaster nodded, casting an ability called Igneous Shield that absorbed the attack of the other Giant Snake. He used this as an opportunity for him to continue running whilst the other Snake was distracted with the barrier. "So...you're going to like train me or something?"
"Do I look like I'd be able to train you given my current state?" questioned Ddraig "I'm trapped in you for crying out loud!"
"Whoops, sorry" Alaster simply answered with a deadpan expression "For a second there I thought you were going to say something about you found like a training simulator feature in my Gear and that you were going to tell me about it"
"I would have told you if I knew you had it!"
"But how would you know is the question?"
"I would come across it alright!"
"But how would you know where to look though?"
"I was merely typing any buttons that I can find!" Ddraig shouted back "But still! Your fighting style is sloppy and has plenty of openings to it-!"
"Wait! Are we going to ignore the fact that you were pushing buttons without my knowledge at all?" Without looking he slammed his staff down, casting down Elemental Rage upon a poor Giant Snake, just as it was going to eat him. The Snake was instantly electrocuted to death by the storm summoned by the spell.
"Well I was trying to help" Ddraig mumbled
Alaster sighed "Just don't go around pushing stuff until we know what they even do alright?"
He sidestepped to the side to avoid a rather nasty looking stream of Poison that was launched at him by the Den Mother.
Ddraig nodded "Alright then"
"Thank you Ddraig" Alaster thanked the dragon before launching another Searing Strike at the Boss but ended up missing his mark "It would be terrible if you had pushed a button that would have killed me or something". Alaster quickly ran into nearby cover just in time to avoid another lunging Strike from the Giant Serpent. Hearing hissing from his right, he quickly made the quick decision of jumping out of his cover before it was destroyed by the Boss.
"Partner, your kinda dragging this fight on for a while now…" Ddraig pointed out, causing Alaster to roll his eyes.
"Yeah why you think I'm dragging this fight on for!?" Alaster shouted out "No NPC party members cause they all died within the first 5 minutes that this fight has started, I acted all arrogant thinking that I can take them on with the greatest of ease and now I'm running for my life now!"
"Well at least you were able to take out two of them in the process" Ddraig also pointed out
"True, but multitasking can be a bitch sometimes" Alaster answered. He jumped up into the air only to be launched into a nearby cavern wall by a tail whip from the Nest Mother.
[Alaster]
HP: 6,500 - 335 - 125 = 6,040
"...Owww…" Alaster could only say in pain before he fell onto the stone floor.
"And you got yourself hit" Ddraig pointed out "Good job there man"
"Shut up!" Alaster growled, getting off from the ground "Your statement did not help me at all!"
"Sorry…" Ddraig murmured
"This isn't really going to cut it" Alaster muttered, glaring daggers at the Den Mother as it positioned itself back at where he first found it.
"The bitch has way more health than the other Giant Snakes!" To prove his point Alaster brought up the information box for the Nest Mother, showing her stats to him, and sure enough she has way more health than a typical Giant Snake
[Nest Mother]
HP: 12,350
"And depending on her attacks, her damage output varies, but has a base damage of 400, and not only that but she's damn fast for a Giant Snake of her size!"
"Any ideas?" Ddraig asked him
"Do you!?" Alaster nearly shouted back, dodging a stream of poison. Ddraig thought for ideas that might help Alaster defeat his opponent, before one idea came into mind although he wasn't sure if it would even work.
"Say…can you combine profiles?" Ddraig asked him
"...I….never tried that before" Alaster said slowly "Or even considered the option or possibility, why do you ask?"
"I was thinking of combining Boosted Gear with your Dragon Knight Profile" Ddraig explained to him "If it's even possibly for Boosted Gear to be compatible with your profiles then you'd be able to turn this around"
"Well there's only one way to find out!" Alaster skidded to a halt and quickly slammed his staff onto the ground.
Igneous Shield!
The ground cracked up as a roughly shaped shield made of a combination of different igneous rocks; granite, andesite, dacite etc, erupted from the ground in front of Alaster just in time as the elemental-made barrier protected him from the Serpent's Jaws. Alaster took this as an opportunity for him to open a bottle of healing potion and began drinking it's contents. Thanks to Igneous Shield Alaster also gained the effects of Major Mending; which increases his healing by 25% for 2.5 seconds, a fact that Alaster took advantage off just by drinking the health potion.
"That Shield won't hold" Ddraig pointed out, watching from within Alaster's mind as the Nest Mother began relentlessly attack the barrier and with each attack the rock barrier began to fall piece by piece. With it distracted by the Barrier, Alaster took this as an opportunity for him to raise his right arm out
Install: Boosted Gear!
The second his words left his mouth his right hand suddenly glowed a crimson red before dying down to reveal a large green jewel in the center of his Daedric style bracer. From within his mind Ddraig blinked in surprise at the unexpected change that Boosted Gear had gone
"Huh, so this is the Boosted Gear" Alaster muttered, eyebrow raised as he inspected his new Gear with surprise. To be honest, he was expecting Boosted Gear to be something else, like a suit of armour or a gauntlet something…
But a glowing jewel? Really?
"This is unexpected, really" Ddraig commented
"What do you mean?" Alaster asked him "Are you saying that this isn't Boosted Gear or something?"
"Well no" Ddraig shook his head "What I meant is that there should be a Gauntlet on your arm, but instead we have the jewel on your bracers instead"
Alaster hummed in thought, trying to come up with a logical explanation for the sudden change of Boosted Gear…
Or is it?
"I don't think it changed" Alaster spoke "But rather it merged with my profile"
"How can you tell?"
"I can't, I'm just speculating" Alaster replied "That's my hypothesis on the sudden change of Boosted Gear"
The beeping noise of a notification brought Alaster out of his conversation with Ddraig. Looking down, he was greeted with a blue box with some important information in it it seems.
[Active Skill - Boost]
- Double your Physical and Magical Power every 10 seconds
- Boost Cap: 6 (Lvl 1). Boost cap increased every level
"Double Physical and Magical Power?" Alaster tilt his head in confusion "Like, double the atk strength of my Physical and Magical abilities? That's the concept of your power Ddraig?"
"Yes" Ddraig nodded "I'm able to double my possessor's Physical and Magical Power every 10 seconds, although that boost cap was never there to begin with"
"And if my maths are correct…" Alaster muttered, his mind currently doing the math before his eyes widen in shock and disbelief "Then the damage output goes way beyond the max damage output of this game! That's not balanced at all!"
"Oh whatever do you mean~?" Ddraig asked with a smug grin ticking Alaster off
"Don't act so smug about it! Wait a minute! Why are you even acting smug about it!" Alaster exclaimed "Your Gear could easily, if left to amplify itself, or into anything with Physical or Magical could literally, if possibly, decimate people! No wonder why your counted as the 13 Longinus! Your just broken!"
"Am I now?" Ddraig raised an eyebrow "I have a cap on how many times I can Boost"
"Boost cap or not! It's still overpowered! There are so many scenarios that I am thinking right now that can proves that your ability is broken as fuck!"
*Crack!*
The sound of cracking was all that is needed to snap him out of his state of shock and disbelief as he shifted his attention back to the current problem at hand, which is the Nest Mother herself breaking through his barrier.
"It doesn't matter if my power's broken or what! Stop fussing around and use it already!"
"Stop bitching you say!" Alaster yelled, an annoyed expression along with a tick mark appeared on his face "You want me to stop bitching!? Fine! I'll fucking stop bitching alright, and I'll use your fucking gear to send this serpentine hoe flying!"
He raised his right arm up
"So what I do? Just chant the fucking word or something!?"
"That's my job! Why you think I'm even here in the first place?" Ddraig shot back at Alaster. A second later, the green jewel located on the gauntlet began to shine brightly
[Boost!]
In an instant he could feel it. His physical and magical strength or power as he would better describe it being raised significantly, possibly more than his normal strength. Is there a way for him to know how much his power has doubled? Maybe there is a window that lets you see it.
"There you go! Now go on and try a spell before-!"
Before Ddraig could finish talking to Issei, the Igneous barrier that had kept the snake from Alaster for so long finally shattered in a shower of various sized rocks no larger than a melon. The Nest Mother hissed, as it made a sudden beeline towards Alaster just as he was about to prepare to cast a spell.
"Too late for that shit Ddraig!"
Alaster broke off into a run, as the Nest Mother gives chase right behind him. Whilst running, he took a quick glance behind him only to see that the Nest Mother was getting closer to him, something that he does not like at all.
"Shit!" Alaster cursed in his mind "At this rate she'll catch up for sure! Damn either she's faster than a regular Giant Snake or if its because this armour's slowing me down or something? Either way, I need to go faster! Might as well change into my other class"
ESO: Class Change: NightBlade!
His body, with the exception of his right arm was covered in white light as his Dragon Knight armor disappeared and in its place a set of Dark Red Daedric Style Armour appeared. With the Silks of the Sun armor gone and replaced with that of the Night Terror armor set, Alaster could feel himself running faster than he was before, the weight of his previous armor no longer bogging him down.
He quickly glanced behind him, only to grit his teeth in annoyance as the distance between him and the Nest Mother hasn't changed much. It seems that the Nest Mother is able to keep up with him.
[Boost!]
Alaster blinked as he heard Ddraig say that word again. Hold on a second... just how many times was Boost even used? He could literally feel the build up of energy in him.
"Ddraig, how many times had you use Boost on me?" Alaster asked him out of curiosity.
"I'd say about six times already, as the cap had told me" Ddraig answered, making Alaster eyes bulge in shock "Sorry, should I have stopped?"
"...That's just disgusting" Alaster could only say to Ddraig, his mind already having calculated the total damage output of whatever next attack that he will use. "The Nest Mother is basically donso cause there's no saving it now"
"Well I said sorry" Ddraig sarcastically apologize "It's not my fault that I am an overpowered being"
"Yeah, yeah I'll use it right now at least" Alaster responded. Summoning his Maelstrom Bow from his Inventory, he stopped and turning around to face the Nest Mother, drew back the bowstring as he prepared to fire an arrow at the serpent. When the serpent decided to opened its mouth was the exact moment that Alaster fired his shot.
Magnum Shot!
Alaster let go of the bowstring and released the arrow, sending it flying towards the Nest Mother. The arrow flew into the open mouth of the Snake, travelled down its trachea without any resistance before making contact with the walls of its trachea just near its heart, thus triggering the arrow to explode.
HP: 12,350 - 622 × 2 (6) = - 27,458
The explosion blew up the Nest Mother from the inside, instantly killing the boss, as its remains and blood were sent flying all over the cavern, with even some of it landing all over Alaster.
"...Disgusting" Alaster muttered in disgust "Truly disgusting"
"Not my fault that my abilities can do this kind of thing to your own abilities"
"Not your own fault?" Alaster raised an eyebrow, giving Ddraig an "Are you fucking kidding me look". "Not your fault when the concept of your powers is to double your physical and magical power, thus overpowering your opponents? That's not fair to anyone at all"
"Look Partner, I understand your frustration, but I doubt that your opponents would even play fair to begin with. No one does"
Alaster sighed. "True" he nodded. Walking to the remains of what was once the Nest Mother, he looked around before his eyes settled upon a staff located in the middle of a puddle of blood.
"I suppose that is your Level reward or something like that?"
"Yep" Alaster confirmed. Picking up the staff he took out a cloth from his inventory and began wiping the blood off from the staff
[Item Acquired]
Elegant Serpent's Flame
"And that is also my XP gain and stuff" Alaster also added when his XP bar for both his profile and his Status appeared in front of him
Profile: (Lvl 36): 45% 47%
Status: (Lvl 13): 12% 13%
"And I suppose that'll wrap up today's exercise, for now"
"For now? Don't tell me you're gonna do it again? Which would only end up with you repeating what happened here again"
"I'm not going to repeat my mistake again, Ddraig" Alaster told the Dragon "I'll be sure to look after my NPC companions next time"
"Right…" Ddraig drawled "And you said that you didn't need their help"
"Shush" was Alaster only reply to Ddraig's statement before he disappeared from the Instance entirely.
Gamer's World, 4.45pm, After school
Locatedeast of Kuoh's Shopping District, a good five minute walk from it was the store known as Gamer's World. A small shop with a large back room that sells a whole load of board and tabletop games from Warhammer 40k to Yugioh and Magic: The Gathering, it was in Alaster's mind the perfect place to hang out with friends on a Saturday, because of the many people that come there for the tournament but since today is Thursday and it is after school hours there wasn't that much people present within the store, which is why as highlighted, Saturday is a much better day to go to Gamer's World.
It's also the perfect place to meet new people, and ever since Alaster first visited the store he had been meeting new people; many of them nice and friendly people, including Paul who he met Five weeks after he first visited the store seven years ago. With this friendly atmosphere it just makes it the perfect place to meet other people who share the same interests and hobbies as them both.
And also a nice place to go after school, but not all the time, every two or three days after school when given the chance.
"Goddamnit!" Alaster cursed slamming his entire hand (As in his cards in hand) onto the table. His actions made Paul, who was his opponent for the day laugh in amusement "Stop banishing my monsters!"
"Sorry man! I just can't help it!" Paul laughed, wiping a tear from his eye "This deck was made to kill Pendulums"
"Yeah, and it's cancer to start with" stated one of the few Yugioh players watching the match. Murmurs of agreement were heard around the table followed by some jokes passed around and some bit of crack from the people.
"And not only that, but I failed my Quest altogether" Alaster grumbled in his mind staring at the hovering blue box that had the words "Quest Failed" in bold red. His Daily Quest mission was to defeat Paul in a duel and instead of winning he lost altogether, and thus he failed the Quest. Alaster sighed as he began reorganising his deck "Well congrats to ya you won"
"Awh, don't be sad!" Paul, still cheery from his victory yet again, patted his friend's shoulder "Maybe next time you'll win"
"Whatever cheat" Alaster grumbled
"How is that cheating?"
"I don't know" Alaster still grumbled, finally finished organising his deck "You figure it out or something"
Paul smirked "Salty"
"Shut it, I'm not salty"
"Even though you haven't got into the Qualifiers?"
"Shut it!" Alaster growled before calming himself. "Speaking of Qualifiers, how's Thang doing at the Qualifiers?" Alaster asked Paul "I'm getting my phone upgraded right now so I couldn't access my texts or any messages from him in the group chat"
"Oh yeah" Paul remembered Alaster's situation with his phone "Thang recently arrived at Kyoto and is currently setting his stuff at his hotel"
"The Qualifiers are in Kyoto this year?" Alaster blinked in surprise "I thought they were in Tokyo?"
"They decided to change things around" Paul answered "You only just realised that?"
"Yep"
Paul shook his head "Where have you been all this time"
"Hey! At least I wasn't living under a rock or something!" Alaster retorted back with a frown
"Still salty" Asked Paul with a smug grin
"...Shut up" Alaster sighed, shaking his head with a small smile on his face. Putting his stuff into his bag he got up from his seat "I'm just going to have a look at some stuff in the front of the store, be right back"
Paul gave Alaster a thumbs up, signalling that he understood before turning around to talk to Charlotte about her Sky Striker Deck and provide her with some tips on how to utilise the deck. Alaster made his way to the front of the shop where there were other yugioh players; who were either playing friendly matches of their own, and some customers who were looking through items of their interest.
Alaster scanned each and everyone of them, well not because that they were attractive or anything, it was because of the symbols that floated above their heads, which shows that he could interact with them for a Quest; mainly represented by a large question mark and depending on the colour of the symbol shows what type of Quest is it. Example, since mainly all of them are Blue, it shows that these are Missions; a type of new Quest that was added in with the recent patch. (3)
Seeing as though there are a lot of options for Alaster to choose for a Daily Quest, which he'll have to pick one later after the fourth round, Alaster made his way to the corner of the shop; where the Yugioh stuff was located at and began browsing through the items on display there.
"That's a lot of friends that you have" Ddraig commented, getting Alaster's attention. Alaster merely scoffed
"Not everyone here is a friend of mine," Alaster told him "They're all mostly just game lovers and hobbyists, acquaintances as you can describe them as, nothing more, nothing less"
"Does that mean that Paul is also an acquaintance of yours?" Ddraig questioned prompting Alaster to shake his head
"No, he's a legitimate friend of mine one of the very few childhood friends that I have made during my childhood. My other childhood friend is Issei, who you have already seen. Another friend of mine is Thang, but we have more of a long distance friendship, the chap barely visits us, he lives in Tokyo by the way, which is a long distance away from Kuoh. Kiryuu….is just borderline perverted, well she doesn't show or act out like one in public which is such a thank god full sign, but then again she's a pervert nonetheless; since she has a strange hobby of "measuring" the male students. Alaster shivered at the thought of that. Also to note that both Kiryuu and Issei, unfortunately, know each other but due to conflicting ideals they don't really much even talk to each other…"
Alaster's eyes widen in those two ever found common ground…
"Not even the Beast of Revelations himself could stop such a simple act" Alaster thought in his mind. Overthinking it as he is with what he said, he highly doubt that said creature has the capacity to deal with something like those two.
He only has four friends, which is concerning in Alaster's opinion, but what's even more concerning was the fact that half of his circle of friends are all perverted individuals.
Oh the irony… If that's how you call it
"That makes four friends"
"Yes, but it's concerning in my opinion, don't know why but everyone that I know off have like more than eight, while I only have four people I can call friends"
"I'd say it doesn't really matter if you have few friends. Having few friends has an advantage actually"
"And the advantages are?"
"Having few friends mean a better range, as you can say, of people to rely on, few friends mean a much smaller range of views and differences, who you can associate with easily, and so much more"
"And let me guess, you know of this because of past experiences?"
"Nope, from watching my past possessor's past experiences" Ddraig answered "It doesn't really matter if you don't have that many friends at all. What matters the most that you have people that you can rely on, who you can trust your thoughts and secrets with, and who you can associate well with"
"True" Alaster nodded "I'd say your right about that"
With that Alaster, after browsing the shelves for anything interesting decided to head back inside to the back room in order to continue his duel with Paul. However, on the way back he caught a glimpse of someone "looking" through the Warhammer Age of Sigmar section nearby.
A certain pretty boy of Kuoh Academy
He said looking with the biggest quotation marks possibly cause said person had a disinterested look on him, and he may look like he was interested but Alaster knew otherwise because he can pretty much tell the difference an interested look from a disinterested one. You can thank Asahi Muramasa for that.
Alaster narrowed his eyes, although not a bit too much or else it would look obvious to anyone, not because said pretty boy was here, which a part of him was surprised about but rather it was the symbol that was floating over his head that got him staring at him
There were three question marks hovering over his head
"What is it, partner?" Ddraig asked him, noticing the look on his partner's face
"...It's Yuuto" Alaster simply said to the dragon. By the time he had said this, he was already sitting back down at his usual place. His friend Paul was somewhere else right now making some trading deals with someone for some desired (and in Alaster's mind; highly annoying) F.A stuff. (1)
"Is he a friend of yours?" Ddraig asked him to which Alaster shook his head
"No, I just see him around school" Alaster answered, shuffling his deck "Acting as our local pretty boy is what he does best"
"Quite Insulting" Ddraig commented
"Yeah...maybe it cause he attracts all the girl's attention, damn I'm acting salty today" Alaster realised "But anyways it's not that I'm salty about him, it's the symbol thats floating over his name" He pointed out, making Ddraig take a closer at the symbol over the boy's name
"Oh yeah I've noticed. How come it's like not like the other ones that we've seen?"
"You haven't seen that one cause it only appears in a selected few" Alaster explained
"And that is?"
"Supernatural"
"Hold on" Ddraig said "You're telling me that this Gear can tell who's a Devil or Fallen?"
"Not really" Alaster shook his head. "But I have a theory that this Gear can't properly identify supernaturals from humans"
"How can you tell?"
"I don't really know to be honest" Alaster responded with a shrug "Maybe because the incomplete nature of my Gear"
"Highly possible"
"Humph, but still why am I getting agitated over some pretty boy's appearance in this place?" Alaster shrugged, as he draw his first five cards for his next duel with Paul "Besides It's not like as if I'm being followed or being watched or anything like that. Being watched by some pretty boy does not suit with me not one bit"
Unknowingly to him, Alaster didn't know how true his presumption is.
Later on…
After spending nearly five hours in Gamer's World dueling, trading and chatting, Alaster decided to call it a day. Saying goodbye to Paul, who decided to remain there for another hour, Alaster began heading home before it reaches eight o'clock, otherwise his mother would berate and shout at him again for being out too late.
Not wasting any time, he made a beeline straight for home.
But not before stopping by at the AU Store to pick up his newly upgraded phone; which is a Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact. He was so giddy and excited when he exited the store a minute later with his new phone. He also got himself an SD card for his phone, containing as much as 64GB so that he could place all of his downloaded music into it, as he had problems making plenty of space for new songs in his previous phone.
As of right now he is just making his way home, apple earphones in his ears as he listened to Blood/Water by grandson. Whilst listening to music, in his mind he was debating on what to do next when he gets home. Either go and play World of Warcraft online with some friends or maybe go and attempt to write another fanfic story and hopefully it gains an audience unlike his last ones, or just continue reading his book; Dummies guide to becoming a Game Designer that he had borrowed from the library three days ago.
He was eventually cut off from his thoughts by the music that he was listening too suddenly fading away and was replaced with his phone's ringtone, promping Alaster to groan in frustration at someone cutting off his music, and just as it was going to get to the good part too!
Taking his phone out, he saw that his caller is none other than Issei himself. A grin found its way to his lips as a mischievous idea came into mind. Sliding the green call button and places his phone to his left ear
"Hello! Alaster?"
"Yellow, this here's the Krusty Krab, how may I help you?"
"Alaster"
"I'm sorry but there doesn't seem to be an Alaster around here" Alaster tried his best not to snicker "Can I talk your order please?"
"Alaster-"
"What's up bros! Pewdiepie here~! And today we are making-"
"Alaster!"
"...Meme Lasagna"
"Alaster!"
"Alright, Alright!" Alaster chuckled, pretending to wipe a tear from his right eye "I'm only messing you now!" he sighed "So how can I help you Issei?"
"This isn't the time for jokes Alaster!" Issei nearly shouted from the other end of their call.
"Why sound so paranoid Issei?" Alaster asked him "Is something the matter?"
"I don't know but I think I'm being followed!"
All sense of joke and amusement left Alaster at hearing this, especially from Issei."Followed?" he questioned in a much more serious tone.
"Yeah! I-I don't know why but after I left school, I suddenly had this strange feeling that I was being followed by someone, I don't know who but I've been trying to lose whoever was trying to follow me but-!"
"Alright, I get the jist of it, just listen Issei" Alaster cut Issei's frantic speaking off "Where are you right now?"
"I'm at the Manga store near that Flower store"
"Oh that Manga store near the Hijikata Flower Shop?"
"Yeah that one!"
"Alright, try and lure whoever's following you to Nerima park, we'll confront him together there"
"Although I'm going to be the one doing most of the work there lol" Alaster thought that sentence in his thoughts. "I'll meet you there Issei, is that ok with ya?"
"Yeah sure! I'll see ya there Alaster!"
"Alright Issei, just be careful alright" With that Alaster ended the call, and the song that he was listening to earlier returned to soothe his ears.
Alaster let out a frustrated sigh "Why do I have a feeling that this is only the beginning of shit to come?" Alaster practically asked no one but himself
"Don't just suddenly jinx it!" Ddraig snapped
"Oh I'm sorry, but I just can't help but say this from my own gut" Alaster apologised with a roll of his eyes. A burnt yellow box then appeared in front of him.
[Story Quest: Act 1.2 - Another one!? ] (2)
"Alright, another Story Quest to deal with" Alaster sighed as he began reading the contents within the information box.
Detail: Congratulations! For you have beaten Raynare of the Fallen Angels! With her out of the picture (For a while), you can finally be at peace…
Just kidding-!
Alaster rolled his eyes at the non-humorous humour used "No shit Sherlock, my friend is being stalked" He muttered before continuing to read
-Due to recent events, another one has decided to stir some trouble by following your friend Issei, thus placing him in a position of danger.
Objective: Defeat the Stalker
Location: Nerima Park
Reward(s): 10,000 Yen, 3,500 XP
Oh so finally his gear fixes his Money problem it seems...
Failure: Death
Y/N?
"Well, there is no turning from this now" With that he accepted the mission, not that he has a choice anyway given the mission description and what's at stake, sorta. With the Quest accepted he quickly made his way towards Nerima Park.
Nerima Park, 10 Minutes later…
It didn't take long for Alaster to reach Nerima Park. Normally, from the Shopping District it would have taken approximately 20 minutes to reach Nerima park, however, due to the looming danger surrounding his friend again, he quickened his walk to the park, and arrived there 10 minutes early than expected. He is currently waiting for Issei to arrive at the place were he and Raynare had fought last week.
"Where's Issei at?" Alaster muttered in annoyance, as he looked around for him, an annoyed look on his face. What's making him more worried is the fact that it was already becoming dark, making visibility a pain in the ass.
Well it would be for him before he met Ddraig.
Since he had met and had Ddraig installed in him he was gifted with the traits of a dragon; enhanced hearing, enhanced smell, enhanced endurance, basically he had been enhanced.
"Be patience partner, your friend will be here soon" Ddraig attempted to calm him down
"Be patient? Chap, my friend is in danger, again, and he is meant to be here two minutes ago" Alaster answered back
"Maybe he's still trying to lose the guy" Ddraig suggested to which he scoffed
"That, or maybe he's just motorboating some gyaru big boobs or something"
"Gyaru?" Ddraig questioned. "What's that?"
"Don't question about it"
Before Ddraig could even ask Alaster as to what he means by that, the sound of footsteps hitting pavement caught both of their attention. Looking up, Alaster was greeted with the sight of Issei running towards him.
"See! Told you he would make it" Ddraig commented, making Alaster scoff again.
"Alaster!" Issei called out to him, to which he greeted back by simply waving at him
"What took you so long?" Alaster asked him as Issei ran up to him
"Sorry!" Issei responded, "I was-!"
"Motorboating some poor but secretly satisfied gyaru tits, that correct?" Alaster said to him with an amused smirk and a raised eyebrow.
Issei nodded frantically "YES!...NO!" Issei yelled at Alaster "I was not even-!"
"Oh? Are you sure you're not lying Issei?" Alaster questioned him, a somewhat amused smirk on his face
"No! I wasn't even doing anything like that!" Issei shot back to which he rolled his eyes again.
"Shesh you idiot! You know I'm only messing you know" Alaster answered but this only seems to anger Issei as he frantically began berating his friend for his cruel humour. By this time Alaster was ignoring Issei as he focused more on staying alert of his surroundings. Suddenly without warning a red screen with the words Sense Danger in bold black appeared in front of him catching his attention. His eyes narrowed as a serious look appeared on his face
"Issei get behind me" Seeing the confused look on his face he answered with a sigh "Danger a few feet ahead"
Hearing that, Issei immediately got behind him.
"Well that was quick" Mused Alaster. He can pretty much understand why, as he didn't want to experience past experience. Without anymore though in mind, he immediately summoned forth his Dragon Knight Armor.
"Show yourself!" Alaster shouted, eyes darting to almost everywhere "I know your there! I demand that you show yourself!" He pointed his staff out "or do I have to drive you out myself!"
For a full minute nothing seem to happen. Issei was about to say something to Alaster when laughter could be heard throughout the area.
"I'm impressed, really" a voice spoke to them "I wasn't really expecting myself to be discovered too soon"
"And yet you have been discovered" Alaster responded "Discovered by me of all people"
The voice chuckled "I suppose so, but do you know where I am though?"
"W-where is he!?" Issei fretted looking around. It was already dark now. "I can hear him but can't even see!"
Alaster glanced around also looking for him, however thanks to his enhanced sight he was able to spot a figure in a trenchcoat and a fedora on his head hidden under the shadow of a tree near the pathway.
"A few feet in front of us, underneath that tree" Alaster told him, loud enough for the other man to hear "Am I right? That's you underneath that tree yes?"
"Humph, not only you know that I was here but you were able to find me, you impress me, for a human"
"Why thank you, but to be honest your choice of a hiding spot is terrible" Alaster responded
"I can say that you are right about that" The man confirmed, emerging from his hiding spot
"You the one that is following Issei, is that correct?" Alaster asked him to which the man nodded
"Yes, you are correct, however, I was merely following the boy just so that he can lead me to you"
Alaster narrowed his eyes. So that is why this guy was stalking his friend. He was after him, not Issei. "I see…so do you have a name or something?"
"Forgive for my rudeness" The man apologised, tipping his fedora down "Dohnaseek, of the Grigori" the man introduced himself
"Alaster Haradra" Alaster introduced himself "Of…
humanity. From what you said earlier, you were following Issei just for me, automatically answering one of my other questions. You only did it to get to me, correct?"
"Not really" Dohnaseek answered, "I was merely following the boy due to the fact that his memories haven't been wiped for some apparent reason". At the mention of that, Alaster's mind drifted to the fact that Ddraig was once in Issei before being installed into himself. "So I decided to follow him, in the hopes that whatever is preventing him from forgetting would be found-"
"Thus leading you here" Alaster finished. His grip on his staff tightened "To this exact spot"
Dohnaseek nodded "Exactly, and judging from the armour, I believe that you are the one that Raynare had fought against the other day. I have to say she looked terrible when she came back to us. She went off into a rant of how a human in armour bested her"
"Really pissed her off, didn't I?"
"You pretty much did" Dohnaseek chuckled "But enough talk, I came here for a reason and I would like to see it through and done"
"Me too" Alaster answered "Except my reason involves protecting this guy" He points to Issei behind him "And to kick your ass"
"Well then…" Dohnaseek said, as a light spear appeared in his right hand and a sneer on his face
[Dohnaseek]
Lvl: 20
HP: 15,500
"I would love to see you try, human"
"Oh, I will" Alaster answered with a smirk, glaring back at the Fallen Angel. However while he may be smirking and acting kinda brash, maybe, inside however he is having an internal debate
"Since when did the HP values become that high for a level 15 enemy?" Alaster questioned himself. "Must be because since Ddraig has been installed, the Gear had to adjust things in order to make it balanced"
Alaster glanced behind him to Issei who was watching. "Once I lure him out of here, you get out of here yourself, no buts" He told him before refocusing his gaze back to a waiting Dohnaseek.
Human and Fallen Angel dared not to move from their spots, their only action to one another was glaring at each other. It was only by the sound of an owl did the two fighters finally moved from their spots, disappearing off into the park.
Dohnaseek was the faster one of the two fighters; with speed did he spread his set of black wings and with that same speed did he shot up into the air before Alaster could close the distance and deliver a punishing swat to the face with his staff.
Once in the air, Dohnaseek created another light spear in his other hand before throwing his two spears down at Alaster. Seeing the incoming projectiles, Alaster raised his staff up and casted Flames of Oblivion; firing a fireball, large enough to intercept both projectiles, as they both explode harmlessly in the air.
Alaster then fired a volley of miniature fireballs from his staff at the airborne Fallen Angel, forcing Dohnaseek to perform aerial acrobats in the air dodging each and every fireball fired from Alaster.
Alaster then swiped the air in front of him with his left arm, as a dark red magic circle appeared in front of him and from it a much bigger fireball emerged from it and flew towards the Fallen Angel. He wasn't surprised when the Fallen dodge the attack before summoning another light spear and tossed it at the fireball, destroying it.
Bringing up his other hand Dohnaseek created another light spear and threw it at Alaster, who in response casted Molten Whip; creating a whip made from fire and using it to slash the projectile in half mid-air, resulting in the spear to explode in smoke.
"Partner above you!"
"Shit!" Alaster looked up just in time to see Dohnaseek descending down towards him, a light sword in hand raised high, ready to bisect him in half.
He quickly casted Hardened Armor on himself; his armour suddenly turned obsidian black as well as small spike protrusions appeared all over his armor. The light blade made impact with the armour, and it was unable to cut through the enhanced armour, diminishing the overall damage done to him, but despite not being able to cut through it however, Alaster still felt it, and it hurt alot, but he didn't let it show and instead he gritted his teeth in searing pain.
[Alaster]
HP: 6,500 - 650 = 5,850
If he hadn't had casted that spell right away, he just knew that he'd be losing more than 650. Thank god for the Damage Shield that came with the deployment of Hardened Armour, and what also grateful for the Ability is being able to return a small amount of damage to the attacker, and Dohnaseek experienced it when after he slashed his sword down he immediately felt a small jolt of pain all over his body.
[Dohnaseek]
HP: 15,500 - 150 = 15,350
Clicking his tongue in annoyance, Dohnaseek kicked an unprepared and still pained Alaster in the stomach, sending him flying into a nearby tree denting it quite badly.
"Fuck that hurts!" Alaster cursed under his breath, wincing in pain. Getting onto his knees he looked up to see Dohnaseek having already created another light spear in his hands and is about to launch it at him. Acting quickly he slammed his right hand down onto the ground.
Burning Talons!
Spikes in the shape of claws that burnt with dark red flames erupted from underneath Dohnaseek, trapping the surprised fallen angel. With him distracted, Alaster was able to fully get up onto his feet and slammed his staff down as a much larger magic circle, appeared beneath Dohnaseek.
His ears were greeted with the sound of thunder and his eyes saw purple lightning that flashed violently in the gathering clouds. His eyes widen as he quickly brought his hand up.
Elemental Rage!
Alaster loudly declared out the spell, and 2 seconds after declaring the spell, a large lightning bolt struck Dohnaseek's prison. It did not stop there with a simple lightning bolt, as barrage after barrage of bolts descended from the skies, bombarding the targeted area. It lasted for 7 seconds but the by the time the ability finally ceased the land in front of Alaster is nothing but sundered and ruined. Smoke and dust have been kicked up all over so visibility is a bitch.
Storing his Destruction Staff back into his Storage, Alaster summons out his shield and mace; the DeathKnight Aegis of the Dragon Shield and the Bone lord's Annihilator of the Dragon and took a defensive position; shield out front and his mace poised to deliver any devastating blow to the enemy. His armor has also changed; no longer was it his Silks of the Sun armour set but his new Akaviri Dragon guard set; an unique armour set that as well as grants extra maximum health and stamina to the wearer, it also reduces the cost of casting an Ultimate ability as well as taking 4% of an opponent's health with his weapons.
"Ddraig, see anything?" Alaster asked him
"No partner, I can't see anything nor can I sense him but I can tell you that he's still around somewhere" Ddraig answered. "Stay cautious"
"What you think I'm doing?" Alaster answered back scanning the area in front of him which by this point has most of the clouds and dust gone.
"Where is he?" Alaster thought, seeing the cage that he trapped him in was destroyed. He took a step back….
"Behind-!"
Ddraig's warning came a little too late, and because of that Alaster felt something pierce his side, through his armour.
[Alaster]
HP: 6,500 - 1,500 = 4,500
Looking down, he was somewhat surprised to see what appears to be part of the angel's spear jutting out from his front left side, and looking behind he was greeted with the smug look from the angel.
[Dohnaseek]
HP: 14,900
"How the fuck did he not get damaged at all?" Alaster thought in his head in disbelief. That Ultimate skill that he cast deals 4726 damage every 1 second and since it lasts for 6 seconds the total damage output of 28,356, and yet he only took like close to 300 damage. How did he even avoid the 28,000?
"If your wondering as to how I didn't take damage, I used a barrier spell to block your attack" Dohnaseek told him smugly making Alaster snarl in response. So that's how.
"Just because you managed to avoid being incinerated," Alaster said in a low voice, coughing a bit of blood out of his mouth. He turned his head around casting a heated glare to the Fallen Angel "Doesn't mean that you can start acting all smug and arrogant! You damn feathered bastard!"
He twirled around, surprising Dohnaseek with his endurance (As he thought that Alaster would be writhing in pain at this point), and grabbing his left shoulder with his left hand he headbutted Dohnaseek, sending him reeling back in pain.
14,900 - 100 = 14,800
"Don't act smug in front of me bitch!" Alaster added with a growl.
Ransack!
He thrust his mace with such disciplined precision and violent force that it pierced Dohnaseek's side as though it was a sharp blade. Dohnaseek spat blood at being stabbed by the pointy end of the mace.
14,800 - 660 = 14,140
With that same speed and force, he pulled the blunt weapon out from the angel's side, leaving such a mess, and punched him in the face with the same hand that held the blunt unique weapon.
14,140 - 100 = 14,040
But Alaster wasn't simply done just yet, as he followed it up with a Power Slam; Rearing his shield and slammed it full force into Dohnaseek, with enough force to send the fallen angel flying into a nearby tree.
14,040 - 1,516 = 12,524
….Wait?...1,516 damage? Since when did-?
"Just to let you know, I kinda boosted you" Alaster hears Ddraig say in his mind
"Couldn't resist, couldn't ya?" Alaster raised an eyebrow smirking
"Yeah" Ddraig didn't do anything to deny Alaster. "So what about you? How come you manage to deal that amount of damage?"
"Well let's just say that I do shit when I'm angry or ticked off so much" Alaster told him "Remember my episode with Sona?"
"Oh yeah, makes sense now"
"Yeah, and that arrogant smirk of his ticked me off. Hmmm, maybe I should learn to emotionally control myself or something"
Alaster would have said something else to Ddraig if it weren't for the sound of a branch breaking. Focusing back, he watched as Dohnaseek got up from where he crashed.
Dohnaseek coughed "...not bad" he praised him. He held his side in pain and in an attempt to stop the bleeding. "You're good...somewhat sloppy with how you fight, but not bad nonetheless"
"Told you"
"Shut it Ddraig"
"Guess I underestimated you, human" Dohnaseek chuckled, shaking his head. He reached into his pocket with his other hand, pulling out what appears to be a syringe before injecting it into his leg.
Alaster eyes narrowed as he saw the wound inflicted by him beginning to heal.
[Dohnaseek]
12,524 + 200 = 12,724….
All that for nothing…
That sucks.
"I wasn't really expecting you to be that tough; able to take my Light spear like that"
Alaster looked down to see that he still has Dohnaseek's weapon lodged in his side. Sighing he grabbed the head of the spear and yanked it right out of his side, shocking Dohnaseek with his action. Sighing he pulled out a potion from his pocket and drank its contents, already beginning to feel its effects taking over
[Alaster]
5,000 + 300 = 5,300….
"Well, let's just say my abilities make me a bit durable and let's leave it at that" Alaster told him. "Oh, and I do shit when I'm ticked off"
Dohnaseek nodded "Because I have underestimated you" Dohnaseek began only to wince in pain as his flesh stitched itself back together "I suffered the consequence of underestimating you". A crazed grin appeared on the fallen angel's face, disturbing alaster quite a bit "Perhaps I shouldn't have held back after all"
"Wait! You were merely holding back!?" Alaster eyes bulged in shock. He gritted his teeth in frustration. If he was holding back, then does that mean that he wasn't giving enough against the Fallen Angel?
"Partner, forget about trying to beat him," Ddraig told him "Surviving is your top priority right now, as well as trying to escape from him. If we don't we might as well be dead"
"Yeah but how?" Alaster asked him "Besides I doubt that he would even let me be!"
"Yep! Now enough chit-chat!" Dohnaseek grinned, creating a Light Sword in both his hands, a crazed smile on his face "Let's properly duel shall we?"
"Here he comes!"
Alster was quick to brace himself; raising his shield up to block the two light sword strikes that would have sliced him down in three separate pieces. Alaster shoved Dohnaseek's weapons away and tried to go for an upwards bash with his mace, but Dohnaseek was quick to block the attack with one of his swords before twirling around behind Alaster and stabbing the other into his back.
5,800 - 560 = 5,240
Alaster gritted his teeth in pain. Steeling himself, he swung around to bash him with his shield catching him off guard before he kicked the fallen angel away, sending him tumbling. Dohnaseek regained his balance and flapping both of his wings he shot forward with speed to Alaster.
Alaster raised his shield up to receive the fallen's next attack, but he was taken by surprise when Dohnaseek skidded to a halt and just before he could collide with his shield he flipped over the stunned teen and stabbed his other sword into his shoulder
4,680
Trying as much as possible to ignore the pain, Alaster performed a downwards swing with his mace that the angel blocked with a newly created light sword. Before long Dohnaseek had created another light sword and was swinging both artificial blades at Alaster, who was trying his best to block each and every single one of them. He was only able to block ⅗ of the angel's flurry of attacks, and what managed to come through only deteriorated his health much further
2,440
"Partner! You're losing a lot of health!"
"Ya think!?" Alaster shouted at Ddraig, as he raised his shield to block a double sword slash. "Ddraig! Boost me quick!"
[Boost!]
Using the extra boost he propelled himself away from Dohnaseek, creating some distance between himself and Dohnaseek.
Eso Class Change! Nightblade!
His armour was quickly out for his Nightblade set-up. Summoning his Maelstrom Bow Alaster launched a volley of arrows at Dohnaseek; all which were deflected by the target with his two swords. Dohnaseek then merged both his weapons together to create a Light Halberd that he aimed and hurled at a still retreating Alaster.
Spotting the incoming projectile, Alaster replaced his Maelstrom bow with his Inferno staff and slammed it onto the ground; casting a Barrier in front of him.
"Partner don't block it! That's-!"
*Boom!*
Ddraig's warning came too late for Alaster, as the second that it did, the halberd projectile exploded against Alaster's barrier, destroying it completely and sending him crashing back into the fountain area.
1,010
"Alaster!" Issei cried out, seeing his friend sent tumbling to the ground in front of him. Issei ran up to Alaster and helped him up.
"You shouldn't be here Issei!" Alaster told him "Have I not told you to run!?"
"But-!" Issei tried telling him
"Ah, he's still here". Alaster and Issei stopped bickering with each other, turning their gaze to Dohnaseek as he landed back into the fountain area. "Makes it easier for me not to locate you after"
"I dare you to take him" Alaster snarled, putting himself between him and Issei "I dare you to try"
Dohnaseek merely laughed in response. "Still stubbornly fighting to the end huh? Still fighting to the very end, I like that in your human, not many of your kind do such a thing nowadays". He shook his head, summoning a spear in his right hand. "But sadly despite your endurance, you are merely a walking dead man at this point. I enjoy the fight, really got my blood running". As he spoke he began charging up his Light Spear "But sadly this show has to end"
"I hate to break it to you partner-"
"What? That he's right and shit!?"
"...No, that your Staff was destroyed during the initial explosion" Ddraig told him in a deadpan tone
"Well that's why I brought spares," Alaster told Ddraig before summoning out his Eternal Flame Staff in hand.
"Guess I'm going to have to hunt for that staff again huh" Alaster realised
"Only after you survive this one"
"Your words aren't helping me in the slightest!" Alaster mentally shouted at the Dragon. He aimed the tip of his staff at Dohnaseek, already gathering magicka around it for another cast. Alaster didn't need to wait for something to happen, as Dohnaseek raised his charged light spear up and hurled it at him.
Force Pulse!
Alaster shouted his ability. The accumulated magicka from the staff was fired as a bolt of red energy that sailed towards its target. Both Light Spear and Energy Pulse would have both been the only ones to collided together if it weren't for something else that managed to caught Alaster's eye; a crimson red sphere that was the one to collide with both his and the fallen angel's attacks; creating a large explosion, that shook all trees in the vicinity of the place. Everyone was forced to shield themselves from the shockwaves created from the explosion, with Issei begin sent off his feet and into a nearby bench and Alaster nearly losing his footing. When the shockwaves finally died down everyone lowered their hands.
"What...was that!?" Issei spoke the question that was in everyone's minds
"You speak for all of us man," Alaster said to Issei.
"I believe I was the one responsible for that" a voice spoke out to them, grabbing everyone's attention. They all turned around to face-
"Are you bloody kidding me!?" Alaster nearly screeched out loud, his eyes bulging out in shock as he stared at a familiar-
No scratch that, a highly well-known person in this area, and it ain't Sona I'm sorry to say but a certain redhead of Kuoh.
"So you were right to presume that they are supernatural" He heard Ddraig say to him.
"I apologise for breaking up your little fight" Rias Gremory apologised to both combatants, and in a rather confident tone, Alaster was able to make out. "But this can't continue as it would cause some problems for several parties, you know what I mean Fallen Angel"
"I see apologies then for causing such a ruckus" Dohnaseek apologised, having realised just who the redhead was. "And for the damages caused". With that said he then turned around to face Alaster once more
"It seems that our little fight has to come to an end"
"It seems so" was Alaster only reply. Dohnaseek grinned.
"It'll be a pleasure to fight you next time, despite your sloppiness, you perform well for a human, with some extra training and maybe you might be more fun for me to fight next time"
"Ummm, thanks I guess?" Alaster said, unsure whether what he said was a compliment or a threat in some way. Maybe both perhaps?
With that said Dohnaseek took off from the ground, disappearing into the night sky leaving Alaster alone with Rias and Issei.
"Well that's him taken cared off," Alaster thought. Now with him out of the picture, for now, now is the time to get back, heal up and then-
"Partner, aren't you forgetting something?"
"Oh yeah" Alaster remembered. He turned around to face the source of his upcoming annoyance.
"Hello, Alaster, and Issei" Rias greeted them both with a smile "I believe you know who I am?"
END
1. - They're a Deck archetype that focuses on changing their levels in order to activate their effects. They're so annoying, let me tell you that.
2. [Story Quest] Simple enough to explain. Act 1 is the Arc in which the Quest takes place i.e Kokabiel Arc, Riser Arc etc, and the 2 or any other number besides the 1, are "Chapters" as you can describe them as.
3. Missions - Type of Quests that are located with people who have specific requests on them.
Author's notes: Ask and you shall receive!
I had changed the day that the last chapter and this chapter to Thursday, as to make the Plot work for both of them really, so sorry about the early confusion on the days.
In other news, I hate to break this with you guys who have already read my Overlord/Kuroinu Fanfic, but I gonna have to do a rewrite of it; Why? Cause I believe I might have made a big mess out of it, and I want to fix that. Characters are still the same but with a different plot line and a more developed storyline and world building instead of being all over the place. Be sure to spread the word and stuff about it. I'll upload an Important Notice on that in the Fanfic itself.
Hope you enjoyed this Chapter! If you have any questions be sure to let me know!
