It's a rockface

"What did Lucy do?" you ask.

"She picked up a demon's weapon and got really creative with it," Kara says, chuckling to herself. "So, where have you been?"

"Off having a pretty rough day," you answer. "I need to talk to you guys about something important."

You say the word, and your suit catches fire. The flames fade to reveal you as you are, and the looks on the faces of your friends don't make you very optimistic.

Kara's eyes go wide with terror, and Bruce stares at you in absolute disbelief.

"Dude, what happened to you?" he shouts.

Kara sits stiffly, staring at you, and your father collapses to the ground.

"So you remember those cuffs I removed during the Beliel fight? They were demon cuffs and a large amount of the demon energy remained in my body. Which wasn't good since I had to keep my emotions in check, otherwise it would spread all throughout my body. Which leaves me to what happened to Aalgan..."

So now that we are going to be staying in demon world for awhile, will we be going to demon city with Koe or is the training going to start a bit early?

>>42764975
Probably training

>>42764813
>>42764757
You look for a mirror, explaining the situation as best you can in the meantime. Bruce listens, though Kara still seems to be in shock. Lucy remains asleep, and you still hear Kaya in the shower. You keep going through what happened as you retrieve a mirror and look at yourself.

Your skin has turned a bright red, and your hair has grown into a mane not unlike a lion's. Your eyes are sunken, and have become black. You don't seem to have any horns, but claws have grown on your hands.

>>42765045
>>42765053
"Kara, are you okay?" you ask.

She doesn't answer, just shaking her head very slowly.

"Bruce, can you snap her out of it?" you ask, rushing to check on your dad.

"What the hell am I supposed to do, man?" Bruce calls after you.

You reach the kitchen and find your dad passed out on the floor, unresponsive to your attempts to wake him.

"What's all the commotion?" Kaya asks, walking out in a bathrobe.

You see her body go stiff as she looks at you in fear.

"W-who are you?"

You tell her who you are, and explain everything that's happened, that's when you see Kara finally get up, looking at you with rage and barely-contained tears.

"You idiot," she whispers. "I can't believe you let this happen to you."

"It wasn't his fault," Bruce points out.

"No, but he's choosing to stay like this, and start working for Koe directly," she replies, clenching her hands into fists. "What's wrong with you?"

"What do you mean?" you ask.

"He gave you cuffs that he knew could corrupt you, then put you in a situation that made you lose control of your emotions," she tells you. "Then, once you changed, he changed the nature of your relationship, having you as a servant instead of an ally. Doesn't that strike you as suspicious?"

"Oh, don't act like Spirit World is perfect either," you tell her.

"What's that supposed to mean?" she asks.

You explain what you heard about how King Enma is supposedly helping the enemy.

Kara growls. "I guess Koe told you that too?"

You tell her about the journal recovered from one of the outposts.

Everything that's happened has been my decision, Koe warned me about the risks and I screwed up.

Wow, I...

Really think we look stupid right now.
Lion demon? Lame as shit. I would have been fine with pretty much anything but lions. I was hoping for capra demon like koe, to be homest - it was his demonic energy that sparked the transformation, after all.

>>42766581
Im not sure why som is catering to lion anon. I would have liked a bit of a vote of sorts to determine appearance, or some kind of hashing it out beforehand.

"Kaya, can you get Koenma?" you ask your former assistant.

"Umm...alright," she says, moving towards her room.

"And you might want to get dressed," you add. "Bruce here is going to die of dehydration if he doesn't stop drooling."

Kaya shoots a glare towards Bruce before rushing into her room.

"I wasn't!" he shouts after her, giving you an irritated look.

Soon, Kaya comes out in a sweatshirt and sweatpants, leaving the room and returning soon after with Koenma.

The prince of Spirit World is in his teenage form, and his eyes go wide as he looks at you.

"Well, this is certainly odd," he comments. "Not crazy about the hair, but the red skin kind of suits you."

I'm not going to be a stupid fucking lion demon, anon.

>>42767249

Dun dun dun

>>42767317
We can still see them. I wanna be an immortal demon.

>>42767317
Maybe we'll be allowed to choose our appearance, soon?

I mean, SOM did give us the option to have that option the other thread.

>>42767317
I'm for sacred energy myself.

What kind of demon were you thinking?
Like Yusuke going Raizen?

>>42767375
The beginning of a koe-type demon. Could be human for the most part at first, but developing the demonic energy further progresses you into looking more and more like one of koe's kind.

>>42767267
"Is there any way to reverse this?" you ask.

"Your Spirit Energy, or at least a small fraction of it, should still be in there somewhere," Koenma answers. "So we should be able to reverse this if you like, though I should warn you that the process will be painful."

Before making a decision, you inform Koenma of what you heard about his father. You can tell by his expression that he had no idea about this, meaning he isn't involved at all. But, you can also tell he doesn't believe you.

"That's a very serious accusation," he tells you. "You say you heard about this in a journal Koe gave you?"

You nod, knowing where he's going with this.

"Koe may be lying, but still, I'll look into this," he promises.

>>42767428

>>42767428
B
Ask him if there's a way we can keep some of our human spirit energy stored somewhere in case we need it again somehow, in the future.
If we inexplicably end up going demon again, it would be good to have a backup instead of hoping our human energy isnt snuffed out yet.
Even if we dont turn back, it would be good to have the option for later and NOT be on a timelimit like we currently are with it.

I really dont understand how it would.

>>42767428
>B. Ask him to help you return to normal
With
>>42767507
This anon's question about a backup supply of our normal human energy.

>>42767544
The demonifcation was caused by energy transformation and the body changing to adapt to the changes. Whether or not this could help with that spirit body wave problem.

>>42767598
That would make the disconnect even stronger.

>>42767528
Nigga what?

>>A. Thank him

>>42767428
>A. Thank him

>people not realizing that this shit is probably on a timelimit
Yiff in hell furfuckers

>>42767598
So your basically saying for Koenma to ask someone study the energy and see how our waves where changed and whether or not this could help with the spirit wave problem and be able to replicate the process in a similar fashion without the demonification process in order to attune the fake bodies with Bruce's parents spirit waves? To play doctor/mad scientist?

>>42767759
We can look human again with a little training if that's all you're worried about.

>>42767453
"Thank you," you tell him.

He nods. "And John, if you're serious about returning to normal, get in contact with me. It's your choice."

He says this last part with a glance towards Kara, who still looks extremely pissed off.

"Anyway, I'd better get going," Koenma tells you. "I'll do some digging and see what I find as far as my father."

With that, he turns and leaves the room.

Using the method Koe told you of, you transport yourself to his castle, finding the demon king sitting upon his throne, looking at you with interest.

"Well, that's an....interesting look," he comments as you approach. "Welcome back, my apprentice. Since you're here, I can only assume you're ready to work. Are you prepared to begin your training?"

"I would say you have more pressing concerns than outward physical appearance at the moment," Koe tells you. "Now, shall we begin?"

"No, I want to talk to Kasai for a bit, first," you tell him.

Koe sighs. "Very well, but first do me a favor and activate your suit. I added some new features I'd like to test."

You say the word, and your body erupts into flames, flames which soon die out to reveal the suit Koe gave you some time ago.

"Wonderful," Koe praises. "Now. Jump."

Without thinking, you jump high into the air, landing back on your feet.

"Take a step forward," Koe commands.

You take a step forward.

"Take a step back," he instructs.

You take a step back.

"Perfect," he says, rising from his throne. "Now, kneel."

>>42769320
I appreciate your honesty. Have a cookie.

>>42768892
"What's going on?" you ask.

"Oh, it's quite simple," Koe answers. "I'm putting the mission first, and seeing to it that you do the same."

He slowly begins moving down the stairs towards you. "I told you that loyalty was your greatest weakness. The fact that you'd put the lives of those you cared for over all others and the greater good is a great sign of weakness indeed. But, it's second only to your truly greatest weakness."

Koe stands over you, looking down.

"Trust."

"Now, stand."

Before your mind even has time to think about it, your body obeys, and you rise to your feet as Koe begins to circle you.

"A mysterious voice spoke in your mind, it told you of a way to complete a mission. Those you worked with warned you to be cautious, but the voice was right, and your mission succeeded," Koe says. "Those you had worked with, who had seen you through hardships as the risk of their own lives, they were not pleased that you were heeding the words of some unseen entity. As far as they were concerned, it was far too risky a course of action to follow; after all, surely this entity had an ulterior motive for helping you. But, he helped you.

You met the source of the voice; a type of creature you'd been trained to kill, that had done terrible things, and nearly killed you on multiple occasions. But he treated you kindly, showed you a respect your former employer never displayed. Beyond that, he gave you things you liked; training, new powers, a pretty girl, and like that, you were willing to work with him. You had no true understanding of his end game, you knew nothing for certain other than basic information others were easily able to confirm. But, that was all you needed to believe everything else he told you. You trusted without question. You trusted him to tell you the truth, to help you through every challenge."

Koe stops in front of you. "You trusted him with your life. And now, your life is in his hands; his to control."

Oi, this is a perfect situation for a "Yes, and?" and it shouldn't be tarnished by all that other shit!

>>42769424
"Yes, and?" you ask.

"And now I'm assuming full control," Koe explains. "I'm making sure you no longer put the mission on the backburner to save a friend, or refuse to act on something that conflicts with your morals. I'm ensuring you don't return to your human state, or act upon any thoughts of treachery down the line."

He smiles. "You did choose this, after all. We were allies, but you chose to become a servant. If a man chooses to become a slave, well, I say he's no longer a man."

He steps back, sitting upon his throne.

"Now, we will begin your training immediately. I want you to attack me," he says. "Attack me with everything you have."

>>42769670
>bite own tongue off and bleed to death
Just end it already

>>42769670
>>B. Attempt to kill him
So, guessing Koe's aiming for a Rule of Two style succession scenario. It'll take a while.

>>42769670
>Sense Energy!
How serious is he?

>>42769670
>"You did choose this, after all. We were allies, but you chose to become a servant. If a man chooses to become a slave, well, I say he's no longer a man."

Koe, you've been watching to much Bleach!

>>42769800
We chose to become his successor/apprentice, not his servant or slave. Idk what he's talking about.

kek.

SOM 2: Railroading Boogalo EXTREEEEEEEME!

At least now he has an excuse!

>tfw John probably would have considered Koe a friend

I can see where Koe is coming from, but still, what a silly way of going about doing this, all it will do is make John resent him.

Koe, oh Koe, you misguided bastard.

>>42769847
But we did agree to become his servant tho

>>42769820
My name is Koe, AND I LOVE ANIME

>>42769931
When?

>>42769865
That's how Koe's training goes, it's always stuff that would make normal people resent him if they had to go through the training we went in the past. This time he's upped the volume enough to make John start forming resentment towards Koe.

>>42769970
I could've swore he said something along those lines when he said he would groom us
Gonna check again

>>42769693
You rush towards Koe, intent on killing him. You prepare to hit him with everything you've got, but with a flick of his finger, Koe knocks you off your feet, his energy cutting across your chest and drawing blood.

"That was pitiful," Koe comments. "Get back up and try again."

You do as instructed, but with the same results. Koe watches you, smiling.

"Yes, there's still an abyss between our powers," he comments. "This is good, and another reason I assumed control. I'll make sure you can never become a threat. You'll never surpass me, never turn on me, you will serve me for eternity, and no friends or morals will get in your way."

We should vow to kill him for this and take his place when we're strong enough. He would love it.

"Im not stupid. Simple but not stupid no way in hell(heh) am I going to be able to harm you"

yet

>>42769998
We should just spirit gun ourselves in the face.

Just to see if we can.

I'm sure we won't, but the look on Koe's face if we can would be priceless.

>>42769998
>>B. You will find a way to free yourself
"Im not that easy to put down!"

>>42769998
>A. Nothing he does will stop you from protecting your friends

And if we cant, we'll make sure he can't use us at all.

"I will find a way to free myself," you promise. "And nothing you do will stop e from protecting the people I care about."

Koe smiles. "I'm afraid you're quite wrong about that, my friend."

He leans back in his throne. "Kasai is in the room were you slept during your training days. I want you to go there and kill her."

Your legs begin to move.

Are you people retarded

>>42770222
>C. Something else
Channel all our spirit energy and more to overwrite or destroy the suit. Fight the control with everything and more

>>42770222
>B. Beg him not to make you do it
Fight the suit with all our strength, try to tear it off

>>42770297
Actually, yes, legally I am retarded.

The literal worst thing that can happen if we try to spirit gun our legs is that it doesn't work and we kill Kasai, the next worst is it works and it hurts our legs.

>>42770382
What if we spirit explosion....but start it under the armor. Shred it.

>>42770450

It's like you want pulped organs.

Just combine these two, it's basically what we are trying to do

>>42770554
Snake Way Lady?
>>42770488
>Try to deactivate suit, when that fails C

I feel like this is just extremely harsh training, he had no good reason to do this shit otherwise. He had perfect control over us when we were friends.

>>42770576
>Snake Way Lady?
SSSHHHHHHH

If you say it, he will come.

The fuck is wrong with you?

>>42770488
Trying to cripple yourself is not suicide, som.

>>42770590
>He had perfect control over us when we were friends.
The point was he did unless our friends were involved in which case everything else gets thrown out the window

>>42770643
If you cripple yourself, you're effectively useless to him, so he'll dispose of you. So yeah, it's pretty much suicide.

>>42770488
>>C. Try to destroy the suit

>>42770718
Suicide is explicitly the act of killing yourself.
Someone else killing you is not suicide.

>>42770718
So why aren't we doing that?

These niggas don't know nothing about death before dishonor!

Alternatively, I'm really tired, and want to take a break.

>>42770501
>>42770489
"Don't make me do this," you beg

"If you can muster the strength to stop me, then by all means," Koe says, leaning back in his throne and feeding on grapes.

You gather all of your energy, and direct it on the inside of the suit, slowly burning it away. Your energy destroys the suit, and your legs stop moving.

You fall forward in exhaustion, forcing yourself to stand back up and look at Koe, who drops a grape and rises from his throne.

>A. Escape the castle

>B. Look for Kasai

>C. Something else

>>42770768
Go get a glass of water and lay down for a bit anon, then come back when your minds clear and collected.

Tell that to Dr. Kevorkian.

>>42770826
We just used everything we had to destroy the suit.

>>42770791
>>C. Set the palace on fire and kill his servants while looking for kasai.
if we can't kill him then we'll burn his fucking home to the ground.

>>42770791
>B. Look for Kasai
Great, now we have to go home and hear all our friends say "I told you so"

>>42770791
>>B. Look for Kasai
Find the girl. It's time to skedaddle.

>>42770846
Even life energy like we did to Balor?

>>42770855
Ill support making the place go up in flames.

>>42770885
Nah but we'll probably die if we use that and it probably wouldn't hurt Koe that much

>>42770911
Then we go out with our best shot. And play as best guy, Bruce.

>>42770791
>B. Look for Kasai

>>42770855
Isn't this like a stone castle or something?

>>42770814
You move through the castle as fast as you can, working your way towards the room where Kasai is supposed to be. You can hear Koe moving behind you, and struggle to keep ahead of him.

You reach the room, opening the door to find Kasai sound asleep in bed.

>A. Try to wake her

>B. Grab her and try to escape

>C. Something else

>>42771033

gogogogogoogogogogo

>>42770969
err, i guess set big giant curtains and shit on fire?

>>42771033
>>B. Grab her and try to escape

If Kasai turns out to be on his side to I am going to lose it

>>42771033
>A. Try to wake her

>>42771033
>C
Kill her
Tell Koe he never needed the suit

>>42771033
>A. Try to wake her
We won't be fast enough if we carry her. Plus she won't recognize us and will instinctively attack us if we're grabbing her.

Why didn't we wait to leave the room before destroying the suit? Why not give ourself a slight head start? Thing is this is the voters being dumb with the vote, not SOM railroading.

Goddamn dude

>>42771138
We probably wouldn't have had the chance to

>>42770793
Pffffffffffffffffffft.

The fun part of this quest is over anyway, at least we could get one last laugh out of it!

HAHAHAHA!

>tfw you should have left Kasai

I mean, he could kill her, but then he'd lose his bait.


Then John just trains in Spirit World until he reaches SSS class and goes full Gutsmode on Koe.

No biggie.

Honestly, hostage situations never work.

>>42771033
>B. Grab her and try to escape
She might still be unconscious from the surgery/ attempted kidnapping

>>42771205
>I'll kill her. I swear it.
>And lose all leverage over me?

>>42771267
Exactly, like, how does that work?

>"But you love her!"
>"Yeah, and if you kill her I'll just come back and kill you instead of kicking your ass and picking her up."

I just don;t get it.

>>42771326
Multi-hostage situations work because it very simply becomes

>I'll kill random people, but still have more I can kill if you don't comply.

>>42771383
Yeah I get that, but only one hostage never works.

>inb4 duh ebil Koe took ALL of our friends!

>>42771043
You pick Kasai up, turning to find Koe standing in the doorway. He raises his hand, and you're thrown against the wall, blood pouring from your throat. Your vision goes dark, and with another gesture, your life ends.

>>You are now playing as Bruce

You suddenly feel incredibly sick to your stomach. You stand, and Kara looks up at you in concern.

"Bruce, what's wrong?" she asks.

>A. You don't know

>B. You think something bad happened

Is John really dead permanently? If so I'm definitely dropping the quest.

I'm going to get some popcorn.

>>42771549
>B. You think something bad happened

>>42771581
Anon, does it really matter?

If you say yes, you don't belong here.

>no shitstorm
There was a bigger shitstorm over Haya's death in Human Quest, and future Kaguya's death in those alternate future timelines. I'm disappointed.

>>42771685
Yes it matters, this shit's gonna be even worse without John. And I could barely tolerate the quality before this.

At least now we play as someone who actually gets stronger when emotions run high, instead of "not enough to actually matter despite being more pissed than ever before"
Also kasai a shit

>>42771758
One was over a waifu, the other was just anons whining that their cheat cheat was destroyed in front of them.

>>42771762
Then leave.

And if John comes back I will laugh at you.

>>42771577
"I think something bad happened," you tell her.

Kara stands, placing a hand on your shoulder. "It's John, isn't it?"

"I don't know," you answer, though you suspect she's right.

"Whatever's happened, we'll handle it, okay?" she asks.

"That's right!" Kaya says enthusiastically. "We never give up! And no matter what's happened, that won't change."

>To be continued

Next update should he sometime this week. Follow me @qmdralo to see when I'm running this or human quest.

I'll stick around to chat/answer questions

>>42771832
why are you continuing this if John died?

>>42771832
Kasai fine?

>>42771832
Well this was a turn of events. I hope you know what your doing som.

>>42771832
Will you ever actually be good at QMing?

>>42771832
So why the hell was Koe surprised we were able to destroy our suit?

>>42771848
Why not?

>>42771854
Hahahahahaha, no.

>>42771876
Because he's only as smart as som is. Which isn't very smart.

>>42771870
Anything's possible

>>42771876
He was surprised you thought of it and didn't do something stupid like try to blow off your own legs.

>>42771867
So do I.

>>42771880
If we had done >>42771072
would John have survived?

>>42771903
Probably

Why is koe so wasteful?

>>42771925
Ah, that's no fun.

We should have looked Koe straight in the eyes, and blew our own head off.

That'd be a lark.

Also, no point in playing if you can't play the way you like, ain't that right, SOM?

>>42771945
Som isn't intelligent enough to write an intelligent villain

That seemed senseless on koes part.
he wants us for his mission fully commited so he backstab/controls us. We break out and he just straight up kills us, making everything so far on his part pointless.

only thing i can think of would be if he didn't kill us and just brainwashed us or something.

>>42771988
Don't try to think it through, som clearly didn't.

>>42771988
All he did was open our throat.

You can survive that, bruh.

Don't even worry about it.

Zombie John is coming to play!

>>42771973
no u

>>42771988
Well, at this point it was certain you'd come back for revenge. He didn't want to allow the possibility of you getting strong enough to kill him, so he killed you first.

>>42772031
Clones, son!

>>42771880
Just do an epilogue.
Start another quest in something interesting, maybe restart or continue this quest after a while.

You did an Avatar quest didn't you? I didn't see it have a definitive end, maybe redo or continue that again.

>>42772042
Seriously though why would you continue the quest after this

>>42772048
Nah, let's vote on a universe we all collectively hate, then we play in it and see how we can make it better or, at the very least, more entertaining.

http://strawpoll.me/5600868

>>42772042
>durr I'm gonna mind control John with the most fragile method possible and he'll wear it forever
Koe might be retarded

>>42772042
So the S rank demon, who's lived long enough since mankind has existed just decides to walk after his protege instead of him just enveloping John in a void and knocking him out and carrying him to the next test.

>>42772117
>ITT SOM cracks under the pressure of QMing

>like every other quest he's ever ran

Get fucked, SOM.

I'll never stop loving you.

>>42772098
Not mind control, anon. Body control.
It was very poorly thought out. How would he eat, or bathe? He would get raw spots from the suit in at most a month, and with no clear method of bathing, infections would pop up a lot. Soon enough, you have a dead pus and boil covered guy in a tin can.

>>42772098
I've noticed that in Soms quests all the npcs call the player character on being stupid, impulsive and not thinking enough so its not much of a stretch to imagine koe underestimating us.

>>42772091
If you do end it could you do the epilogue thing?
we've pretty much played and lost but we loved playing. Some closure on what happens after johns death would be appreciated

Geez guys i leave for a little over an hour and John died. Oh well. I'm out.

GG no Re

>>42772149
>but we loved playing
Haha no. It's been shit for a while. I've only been here this long due to a sunk cost fallacy

>>42772149
It wasn't just underestimating us, it was a fucking awful idea to begin with.

>>42772136
I love you too.

Also, DBZ Human Quest is still going, and Saiyan Story forever ago just ended without something like this.

>>42772149
Bruce, Kara, Kaya, and Lucy kept working against Kuraidesu.

Koenma discovered that his father was indeed helping the enemy, so Kara and the others fought King Enma, and Koenma took over Spirit World.

After Kuraidesu was defeated, Koe attempted to seize control, and was eventually defeated by the gang.

Bruce and Kara got together

John and Kasai were together in Spirit World

Kaya remained friends with the gang for the rest of their lives

Lucy became a karate instructor and practiced with the others to fight demons if she ever encountered them again.

>>42772169
Same tbh

>>42772195
Bruh, all of your quests you crack and pull some serious bullshit.

And HQ is going in a reboot.

I mean, it;s like how you unleashed the snakeway lady guy onto the questing scene. Were you proud of that, you monster?

>>42772195
You really need to double check the things your characters do before you write to make sure they're not retarded

>>42772250
I don't even know how that happened. Seriously, it's like he just appeared out of nowhere.

>>42772195
huh, short but appreciated.
>John and Kasai were together in Spirit World

especially this part, nice to see shit doesn't end with death.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLBZaOENcMU
You could have just made John get resurrected, that shit caught everyone on Spirit World offguard when it happened to Yusuke, wouldn't be surprising if it caught Koe off guard and he couldn't do jack shit since we broke past S rank with the revival.
