Hello Everyone my Callsign is Turt19 and this is my first time ever writing something instead of reading. I got the motivation for this by a den of degenerates. Also a shoutout to both Malice from TfT and Dark past from J'OG (it should be easy to figure out who they are if you are in the discord server) and also a shoutout to every other author in that hole of degens. Criticism would be appreciated since english is not my first language. Im also gonna say this upfront: this might just turn very slightly AU since i don't remember every single thing from both OG and Paradox so bear with me if some things seem weird.
It might get confusing so i split the way of thoughts up a bit so it is easier to understand
'...' is for active thoughts as in the MC actively thinks about it while (…) is more subconcious thoughts, described in another way it just came to him instead of actively thinking about it. Some slight 4th wall breaks with the subconcious thoughts be advised.

Happy to know that you guys have spend your time reading this and i'll be seeing you around

Chapter 1
''Did you think you could stop me? When all your allies are either incapacitated or tending to their wounds?'' A loud voice echoed across the vast expanse.
''I may not look like it, but i should be strong enough to hold you off so they can recuperate and prepare to finish you once and for all'' a quieter voice answered, no emotions could be deciphered from his voice.
''Your Mana will run out sooner or later. I will escape this pocket dimension when it does and you will be the first person I will kill when the time has come'' the same loud voice boomed with fury being evident in their voice.
''And that time won't appear for a while at the very least,'' gave off the monotone voice.
''I know very well that this space is being powered by both your mana and your life force, is it really worth it for you to stop me? They might've even forgot about you already, you yourself don't know how long you've trapped me here alongside yourself'' said the loud one, preparing for the next bout that is becoming more evident every second.
''No matter what you say I know that they're preparing for the moment this pocket dimension collapses. As long as im still breathing you're not leaving here without using up most of your energy'' the quiet one said before preparing Himself for the next attack.
'I really hope you all have prepared, I'm not able to hold on for much longer. I believe in all of you so you damn well be prepared, though you should be prepped the most,Luka.' Thought the Quiet voice before unleashing an concentrated beam attack.

Knock Knock Knock
''Wake up Rafael did you sleep in again?'' called a familiar voice.
I woke up to the sounds of knocking and a very annoying noise coming from outside my bedroom door ''stop knocking at my door Anna im up and I didn't forget about our trip today.'' I yelled out and got out of my bed,only to fail and slam into the carpet below and hit my forehead ''Kurwa!'' came out as a response.
''Are you alright in there?'' came the now named voice of my sister Anna. She opened the door and took a peek inside, from the outsiders perspective she seems to be in her early twenties (good guess if you thought 22) with messy long gold/brown hair with a slim body build and bright blue eyes. She's also a massive league of legends fan and just graduated her internship for an application to start doing Apothecary work.
I stood up while feeling a headache and replied ''Yeah i'll be fine, just a little headache to start the day with.''
As soon as I was up I went towards the closet to get myself some clothes and take a look in the mirror. After putting on some simple shorts and a T-shirt I took a look in the mirror on the closet to take a closer look at myself. What I saw was an Two meter tall, brown haired man who was more on the burly side who also got Blue/grey-ish eyes with an mix between an resting bitch face and a grimace that made him seem older than he really was (He finished his 20th birthday a month ago).
My room did not have a lot of Furniture other then a Bed, a Desk with a Computer and a couch with an Television on the opposite of it, aswell as a carpet inbetween the TV and couch. ''...Where were we supposed to go to again?'' I asked, embarassed that I forgot where exactly we were supposed to head off to.
''Of course you forgot'' Said Anna with sarcasm dripping off her voice. ''We were supposed to meet up with Sebastian at the Gamescom in Köln.'' She answered after thinking for a second herself. That's right, we were meeting up with her boyfriend at the Gamescom to look for League of Legends merch because he is also a big LoL fan while i wanted to go take a look for something that would catch my interest. The Gamescom opens at 11AM while it was currently 8PM, so we had to hurry up to catch the train.
After we ate dinner and prepared ourselves for the trip(We live together to save up money since our parents kicked us out so they could buy a smaller home to live in). Living in Germany had the advantage of having a good infrastructure and fast public transports (even if they weren't always punctual or cancelled because of some heavy storms) so we arrived at the gamescon at around 10:45 AM.
Sebastian was already waiting for us at the entrance, where a whole group of homeless gibbo- ahem, a whole group of interested people were waiting with their tents at the entrance of the hall.
''Hey Anna sup Rafael.'' Called out Sebastian, having noticed us coming around the corner and proceeding to give Anna a big smooch. ''Could you guys please not show affection in public like that? Or atleast not with me around?'' I asked while being slightly disgusted at the sight infront of me. Since I myself do not have a girlfriend (and i don't think i'll ever find one) I was perplexed at how people can show their affections like that in public.
''Relax Rafael nobody really cares if we kiss each other in public.'' said Anna after they released each other 'Maybe because nobody wants to be a busybody' I thought while i was preparing myself for the entrance to be opened.
The Gamescom was to be held at a massive Stadion in Köln, with around seven halls fused together enabling stalls or full publishing groups to set up their goods and adverts. Before entering, the outside of the Stadion was packed with people either waiting in line or sitting under tents eating food.
We went inside after the doors to the hall were opened, and I was immediately taken aback by the lights coming off of the Wargaming section of the entrance hall. 'Guess they're going extra flashy because their games aren't as popular as they used to be, it's their own fault for killing their game like that like for real who doesn't listen to the playerbase and adds overpowered shit that ruins the entire fun,' I began ranting in my head.
Sebastian and Anna both found the Corner for Riot and bought themselves an Ahri Body pillow and Kindred keychain each, I on the other hand found the corner for Minecraft and bought myself an Ender Dragon plush.
After a few more hours of basically plodding around, we were about to head to the exit because it was getting late. We were halfways there when I noticed a stall that I hadn't noticed when we first entered. 'Wait a minute, am I seeing this correctly? Is that Monster Girl Quest merchandise?' I pondered, because I couldn't figure out how they got a stall at Gamescom for some ToroToro merchandise.
''What's the matter, Rafael?'Did you finally find something that piqued your interest?' asked Sebastian as Anna admired her new keychain. ''Yeah, do you guys mind going on ahead? 'I'll be right behind you,'' I said as I started walking towards the stall. ''Sure, just don't take too long, the train leaves in fifteen minutes,'' Anna said, putting her keychain away and dragging Sebastian along with her.
I approached the stall and saw a young lady in her late teens (Isn't she too young to be a stallkeeper for this content?) Greeting me behind the counter, ''Hello there, how may I assist you, sir? She had ash blonde hair and piercingly yellow eyes (possibly contact lenses), was slim, and appeared to have padded her chest (you find out how to read the indications if you watch enough anime or just pay attention really).
''I'm just here to look at the merchandise, don't mind me,'' I said, trying hard not to utter General Kenobi as I examined the merchandise in front of me. There seems to be a lot of original Monster Girl Quest goods from parts one to three, but there was also some stuff from Paradox if the figurine of Nuruko was any indication.
What piqued my interest the most was a stick hidden to the side beneath a body pillow depicting Tamamo in her sealed form (Who would ever buy that?). It was around 1 meter in length and split into angel and devil wings at the end of the staff, with a bright white orb implanted between both wings.
''How much is it for the Stick hidden behind that body pillow?'' I inquired, my interest piqued. I hadn't seen that staff in either the Original or the Paradox, so I was curious what it was doing here.
''Oh, that old thing?'' she inquired. ''It's something I made myself actually, I forgot to put it back since I didn't think it would sell, but if you want, I can sell it to you for 25 Euros,'' she added hesitantly.
I opted to buy it despite the fact that the way she said it made me shudder.''Sure, I'll buy it,'' I said, handing over the money and receiving the strange-looking staff in return. ''Thank you for the transaction, and I hope to see you again,'' she replied with a smile as I walked away.
Just as I was about to leave, I heard something that made my spine tingle even more: ''Until next time, Rafael.'' I jerked my head back and looked around for the source of the voice, but all I saw was a swarm of people.
''Hopefully I'm just hallucinating, maybe the hit to my forehead this morning was a little harsher than expected,'' I reasoned as I exited the building, not realizing that the teen had an uncanny smile on her face while looking towards the exit.
After meeting up with my sister and her boyfriend we departed with the train towards our destination. ''So... what's with the spooky looking rod Rafael?'' Anna said, staring at the strange rod in my hands, as the white orb between the two wings continued to pulsate with white light. ''I'll be honest with you sis, I have no idea.'' I replied while looking at the staff trying to figure out how to turn it off.
''Do you even know what you're going to do with it, or will it just sit in your room collecting dust like your 8ball that you call a 9ball because you drew Cirno on it?'' questioned Sebastian sounding bored. He was correct about the 8ball, but no one ever talks shit about my gorgeous 8ball with the idiot fairy on it.
''To be honest, I just got it on a whim; I'll find a use for it. Maybe I'll have a better chance on Halloween?'' I stated as I examined it more closely. It was constructed with metal (who manufactures a rod out of metal?). Featuring a brown covering to make it look like a stick, the wings on the other hand felt authentic, with the demon wing made of leather and the feathery wing made of, you got it, feathers.
The orb between the Wings was the most intriguing; I couldn't figure out what it was made of. It appeared to be marble with a smooth surface, but because it was so dazzling, I couldn't tell what the inside was made of. I couldn't find a switch to turn it off, so I was wondering whether I should put it in my closet to keep it from disturbing my sleep.
When we arrived at our train station we said goodbye to Sebastian and returned home. I left the rod in my room and cooked for once because Anna went back to her room to play League of Legends with Sebastian and the others (they are huge LoL fans).
What I cooked was one of my favorite foods, you simply cannot go wrong with pierogi, I forgot to mention that both my sister and I were born in Germany but our parents moved in from Poland, almost everyone from our close family lives in Poland with a fragment of them somewhere close like the trash island of the atlantic (sorry UK people but it is what it is) and france.
When I was finished, I called my sister and went to my room with my own plate, knowing full well that she was not going to take hers anytime soon. I turned on my computer and geared myself for some shitposting and reddit browsing. Turt19 was my online handle, and my closest online acquaintances knew me as the guy who would frequently post memes and make fun of others, while also occasionally being courteous to others, but usually as the shitlord with the memes. I braced myself to go into the den of pure degeneracy known as Monster Girl Quest Fan Fiction and ask my fellow degenerates if they knew anything about it now that I had the staff.
I've been a fan of the original MGQ for a while, and I'd also played the Alice path of the Paradox game (I was simply too lazy to do the Ilias route), so I was familiar with the games and enjoyed reading fanfiction about them. The Author of Dark Past (I'll call him J'OG for short) got shat on in the discord because of his decision in the latest chapter that he posted, while the Author of Malice (I'll call him TfT for short) goes through so many drafts, posts them, then deletes and rewrites them that it's become a habit to wait for him. After making fun of the Malice author for a while i decided to ask them if they knew anything about the staff.
Turt19: Guys i need your help with something.
J'OG: what's the matter?
Turt19: bought this in an MGQ stall in gamescon today and i wanted to know if any of you recognize this?
TfT: It doesn't ring any bells for me, your thoughts on this J'OG?
J'OG: i also have no recollection of this being in both the Original or in Paradox.
Hero'sTush: Are you sure its not some counterfeit you bought? Its not from MGQ
Turt19: to be honest even if its not from the games i still kind of dig the design, it also got the right size to beat people with.
J'OG: :Pepesweat: why would you beat people up with a rod?
Turt19: Safety measures. Anyways thats the only thing i really wanted to ask you guys so i'll see you around tomorrow.
T'OG: Cya
Tft: until next time
Hero'sTush: Cya. Now where were we again? Oh yeah Luka is just so damn breedab-
I shut off my phone just before reading the whole article since I knew where it was going; the dude just doesn't stop talking about Luka's ass for some reason.
I was prepared to go to bed because it was already 10 p.m. and I had work the next day. I turned on the alarm clock and took one final look at the staff before going to bed. For some reason, I had the impression that I was being watched, and it appeared to be coming from that damn staff. I went to bed knowing that tomorrow was another day, ignoring my instincts that had been developed over millions of years of evolution.
I awoke in the middle of the night with a sense of bewilderment and dread, as my brain decided that around 2 a.m. was the ideal moment to contemplate the meaning of existence. Just then, I felt like I was freefalling and had a mini heart attack, which I quickly recovered from because everyone hates that damn feeling while lying in bed.
Knowing I wouldn't be able to sleep again, I went to the restroom to freshen up before lying down on the couch in the living room and watching YouTube on the TV. Watching my favorite YouTubers was always a fantastic pasttime that helped me get rid of anxiety spikes that occurred whenever I considered the frailty of life and the existence of an afterlife. After watching some fantastic movies, I walked back to my closet to get some clothing and a jacket to go for a walk around the park.
Going out at 3 a.m. to walk in the park may seem absurd, but it fit the atmosphere. My thoughts returned to everything I'd accomplished in my life, to my family and the few friends I had, knowing full well they had my back as much as I had theirs. I decided to return home because it had become too cold, but when I turned around, my heart almost stopped beating.
What I saw in front of me was the staff I bought at the gamescon the day before, silently embedded in the ground with the orb pulsing a relaxing grey light; it was different from before. ''Why is that thing here?'' I thought as I approached, unaware that my instincts were screaming at me to turn around and run home.
I felt my consciousness take a hit and I lost my sense of direction the instant my hand touched the rod, 'What is happenin-' I found it difficult to articulate a word and my surroundings felt like they were trembling and cracking at the seams. The last thing I felt before losing consciousness was the sensation of freefalling like in bed.
