For those of you unfamiliar with HJC. It is a Chinese Wuxia web-novel. You can read it here, it is completed: https://www.wuxiaworld.com/novel/heavenly-jewel-change The Wiki (May lack information with certain characters but has all the mechanical information we need): https://heavenly-jewel-change.fandom.com/wiki/Heavenly_Jewel_Change_WikiLots of things like place names and people will be OC. so I can run with interesting character ideas.Last thread :http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/3638342You play as Zou-Do-Shai. A Hunter belonging in the great Dershwa City. You are a have attained a Second Level of Heavenly Energy and are proving yourself to be a strong Cultivator. Last time we left the orphanage, found a special cultivation technique, met a guy called who called himself "Demon Hunter" after saving our life from a Wind Wolf, and began cultivating, making two breakthroughs in a span of two weeks! During that time we took part in a week long expedition to help kill a Heavenly King Stage Wolf that was making a huge monster wolf problem, during which we found out one of our teammates was a Princess of the Dershwa Clan!. After almost dying to a tentacle demon on the way home we were airlifted out and met King Long Dershwa, a man who says he has nothing but time. We are now back at the Hunter's Camp, ready to make the next step on our path to God-hood.>Concern yourself about the ethics of killing things that can become human with enough trainingWhen home you bring out the Dark Core, remembering the Black Cat, which didn't attack you until it knew you were waiting for it do something. You remember the Guard telling you about civilisations composed of beasts and animals that have cultivated enough they are basically human, if you left it alone, could it have cultivated to that point, becoming a person, with their own desires, family, jobs and lives? You think you need a rest, after all, no-one else seems to care. Why should you? You need to cultivate to restore your Heavenly Energy before tomorrow morning, so that means more cultivation.>Roll 1d100 to cultivate best of three. Sorry about this being a bit late, had a minor intruder scare, it seems our safe area is finally being corrupted like the rest of the country.

Well imagine that, but as big as a castle and with two horns on its head. Some of the people who got close to the area went kinda mad, so we've called in the Central Hunters for some assistance with this. This means another Expedition, but, as this a new ruler of the forest, its going to be sending out scouts to cover the area, including this area.In other words, we are preparing for an attempted invasion of Evil Element beasts.You can buy a holy amulet blessed by the Priestess in the City for 20 Gold, or go without, your death not mine.

So you join the flank, around 50 Heavenly Energy users of all ages are there, not strong enough to be reliable on the front lines but strong enough to be useful against a few stragglers, the hope being that as beasts reach the entrance, a few will go to the side, towards the flank.You hunker down for the night.

Then move Heavenly Energy into your Jewel. In front of your mind's eye, you see a 6-coloured wheel. One sixth is blue, one is dark green, one is purple, one is gray, one is a light green and one is white. You turn your attention to the white sixth. Immediately all of your Heavenly Energy rushes to your Jewel. You feel the Saint Element eminate weakly from your Jewel, warm and kind, you see the plants around you start to grow, the scars you earned whilst being a Hunter healing up, the air feels clearer, the darkness of the Cursed Forest subsides slightly and everything feels right with the world. You hold the cross to it in your right hand. The Saint Element rushing to it. You hear a voice in your head."Zou-Do-Shai, is that you? You have awakened in such short time? My gods you must be a prodigy, now I know you have the Saint Element, but considering this you must have others...we'll talk when you get to the Palace alright.

It sounds like you will be staying a long time in the Palace. You think that you could buy one off him for a small fee.The orphanage is not far from the Camp. You make it there in the mid-afternoon. After saying hi to old woman in charge you go to find Song Chad-Pah. He is only a week away from leaving and it shows. "Zou-Do-Shai! I'm kinda busy here!"Many, many official looking documents sit on his desk. Some of the books about reading sit on a nearby shelf covered with a fine layer of dust. However he seems so absorbed with his work that he does not turn to you.Player Choice>Draw his attention by summoning your Jewel, remember you don't have any Heavenly Energy left from this morning.

He says yes, but that it will cost you 10 Gold. As it came straight from a civil servant of the Dershwa Clan.>Do you buy it?>Y/N

>>3667115>Saint Element training"I see, there will be three main sections. Firstly, you can probably only use Saint Energy for about a minute, and you use up all of your Heavenly Energy. So we need to increase your Heavenly Energy total before any training can be done otherwise you will only be able to use it maybe twice a day. While a lot of the nessecary Heavenly Energy can be supplied with resources. You need as much as you can. The second part will involve teaching, you will learn what the Saint Element can do, where it can be used and what to use it on. The third part will be storing a skill for it, I have one in mind but for someone at Low Level Shi Stage a lot of preperation is needed to ensure success, as it is a 10 Star Skill.Once we have done all that we will perform a surgery to realign her merdians. I need you to heal her using the Saint Element with me whilst I perform the surgery. Got all that? Well even if you don't it is midnight and I need some sleep.

>>3667407Thanks for running
>>3667407My PC has gone to be repaired. So I should have it back soon."Now then. For our purposes the Saint Element is similar to the Life Element. It has healing capabilities and can help treat and cure diseases, but it can do so much more. It not only boosts the healing of the Life Element, but can even grow back limbs or cure normally fatal illnesses like Heavenly Energy CorruptionHowever, it goes beyond this at Zun Stage and beyond, one could argue that the Saint Element purifies instead, purifying a wound back to normal, as it can deal extreme damage to the Evil Element and demonic beings. It can remove and treat curses. Legend states that at the Heavenly God Stage you could walk upon the world and be seen as a deity of all the good in existence. Purifying the root of all evil in a person.However all this comes with one major drawback, you need to have some medical knowledge of both the physical and spiritual nature to use it properly, otherise you could heal a muscle and give your patient a tumour. So I will teach you some today. You will have some time tomorrow to practice your reading too, as you need to be able to read medical texts in order to progress on your own.">Roll 1d100+20 best of three to learn Rudimentary Medical Knowledge

Life Element is pure healing and can cause evolution in animals at higher levels.For Saint (Can relate to skill ranks as well)Shi- HealingZun - Greater Healing, Purification, Stat Boosts to othersZong - Superior Healing. Holy Power, Purification, both self and othersKing and above - See above, Holy Incarnation. The medical information Shimuko teaches you is mostly about things you need to know for the surgery in a few days. Which is the main structure of the spiritual anatomy of a normal person vs Jiang Dershwa. You can see from some Images Shimuko produces from her Light Element that her Dantian is normal, but her meridians are extremely long and have become tangled bacause of it. Shimuko thinks it's because her mother is a Heavenly Emperor Master who has the Life Element. She probably lost control of her Jewels during labour and mutated them to grow. The Dantian is located in the spritual version of the ilieum, the meridians follow simiar paths to the arteries and veins of blood, there also appears to be a chamber where a heart should be, yet Shimuko tells you that it being empty is normal, and that you would only need to worry about it if you were a Heavenly Jewel Master. She finishes up with a crash corse on human anatomy. This is a lot to take in, but you manage. Your Heavenly Energy improving your memory and body a small bit. Shimuko tells you that your job will be to heal the blood vessels and skin after the excess merdian has been cut away and she has connected the merdians into a normal pathway. She dismisses you, saying all she needs you to do for now is remember what you need to do during the operation. Saying that tomorrow the two of you will take a trip to the Stored Skill Palace to store skills for all but your Spacial Element.

Yet you didn't see them the second time. You summon your Jewels. No divets. You retract them. You don't see anything but a flash. Wait, the first time you did it you would have done it slower. So you intentionally do it slow. Lo and behold. You see them, they must sit only 3mm from the surface, but they are there.You wonder what this could mean. You start to move your Jewel around for some minor Heavenly Energy Control practice whilst you think and you see small sparks of pure Heavenly Energy forming on your Jewel at some points of the journey. You find out that the sparks form whenever you spin your Jewel. Increasing in intensity then dying down when you stop, however, you think that after a certain point these sparks will fly off the Jewel at a direction you tell them to go.

Blonde hair, pale skin, striking blue eyes, staring at you. Covered in nothing but a white sheet. Then you see her wings, pure white , large and outstreched. Her ears are slightly pointed, like small triangles.She is bound and chained up, you can see every limb, even her wings, shaking in effort to break free. She opens her mouth. Whispering in the lonely way only a broken prisoner can do."I just want to help. Please let me go. Please let me be free. Will you set me free? Please let me be free."She keeps repeating this. However as you get closer she quietens down. Realising you have come like the rest. You know she is a monster. She seems like a person....but she's just a monster."I just want to make people better...please help me."You ignore her. You remember the Guard's words that as monsters cultivate they become more human. You ignore her.You put your hand on her body. Soft to the touch. The angel starts to raise her voice. You ignore her. You move your Heavenly Energy inside her. You hear her. You feel your Jewel react and it takes something from her. You hear her scream, brutally, you can't ignore her. You dash back. Dripping with sweat. The Darkness Elemental Masters catch you. Telling you that she's just a monster. You need to go back and tell Shimuko to come in soon.

>>3670037also you can ransack the Wind Dragon Slayer skills from Wendy in Fairy Tail
>>3670037A skill that creates a vacuum: to be used to kill fire, suffocate enemies, and to move instantaneously a la The Hand.
>>3670075Yeah. But using stolen ideas isn't fun for me. At least in the skill department. Tell you what when we get our next Jewel you can tell me those skills then. I haven't watched much of fairy tail. So I'm going to be oblivious to stolen ideas unless someone tells me where it is from.
>>3670092This one is cool. I will change the name though. Breathless Sphere. Much more wind related.
>>3670107a skill that creates a minitornado that works as a drill around your wrist, can be used to punch with the power of a tornado "Storm Fist"Also am guessing you are writing down all these ideas for future jewels and that skills grow stonger as we get mroe jewels and also as our cheat improves them?

>>3670277creating a flexible barrier of water with slurry like consistency, fucntioning like a cushioning barrier that absorbs kinetic energy
>>3670277>Flash Freeze Burst, Rank 5 Ice Skill, floods target with water and then freezes it, leading the target to be bound in a hastily made frozen coffin. Up to the QM for the rolls.See you in the morning!
>Eight Flowing Mirror Fish 5 Star >Summons 8 fish like mirrors that encircle the user within a set radius, intercepting attacks and even reflecting weaker moves. >Able to shift between water and ice, the school can be controlled manually for greater effectiveness but requires focus. >Main drawbacks are limited if nonexistent offensive use, inability for mirrors to "think or plan" will literally just swim around you either fast or slow and swim head first into anything, and while it is possible to resummon destroyed mirrors the number will always be eight either destroying already summoned mirrors or costing the full cost to summon less than eight total.I see a lot of potential with our cheat for something like this, personally I'd like something like kamikaze fish or summoning an entire school of fish to smother any incoming attacks or even freezing/sticking to whatever they touch
>>3670292Ok. All good ideas, but people need to vote on one only. If no votes are made in the next 3 minutes I will be rolling for it. There is also the main problem that the majority of my players are not available to be here in the morning. So after water. I will stop the quest temporarily and continue at 16:00 hours. In the 8 hours between then and now. I should have my computer back, and I will be thinking up new Skills for Life and Lightning.
>>367229130 minutes sorry bad typo.
>>3672291Vote for this>>3670312
>>3672332Vote for this counted. Writing now.
>>3672293You want some defencive options. Especially as if you encounter an ememy with a lot of firepower. They can take you out in one hit. So you choose a water Skill called Kinetic Barrier. A 5 Star Stored Skill that forms a flexible barrier of partially frozen water, making its consistency closer to sludge. Which can block or absorb attacks which hit it.>Kinetic Barrier, 5, 70 Heavenly Energy forms a flexible yet durable barrier where the user summons it; it is 3 times the size of the user and its shape can be changed. >Will block 5 attacks under 2000 damage. >Will break if encountered by an attack above this or more than 5 attacks. Notibly lacks a way to attack, only defend.>Be back at 16:00 BST, think of Lightning and Life ideas for Skills in that time. Life focuses on healing, treating disease and animal evolution. Lightning is pure damage but can be used in inventive ways. Like at the 10 Star level, where there is a Skill which can turn you into lightning. Allowing you to zip through the clouds at lightning speed.
>>3672388>LightningArmour of the Thunder God, Level 5 skill.Creates a coating of lightning around its user's skin which repels metals and burns those who touch it. Moreover, it can consume Lightning-element attacks of a lower ranking and sustain itself with the Heavenly Energy within those attacks, but is dispelled by Wind-element skills.Does this work?
>>3672388> Double Lightning Shooting, Rank 1 Attack Skill, uses the electric field between two lightnings to shoot very small projectiles, costs 20 Heavenly Energy, has high evolutionary potential (es. Faster shooting, multiple shooting, angular and delayed shooting).
>>3672388> Golden Fist of Life, Rank 6 Life Attack/Debuff Skill, charges the user's fist with Life energy to be transferred upon impact, overcharging the target's nerve system and causing muscular spasms and in the worst cases, cancerous growth in the impacted area. Costs 85 Heavenly Energy.
>>3672401No. It does too much for a 5 star. Lightning is a 2nd stage Element, so all skills are 4 Stars or above.Something like absorbing an attack would be a signature ability, also expensive. Lightning is weak to Earth. Is complimentary to Wind. For example>Charging Gattling Barrage 7 Stars. Costs 100 Heavenly Energy to produce the glattling. Will form a minigun out of lighning which can be held in on one arm. Can absorb Lightning Element attacks, even your own and build up a charge which can be released as a barrage if lightning bullets. Deals damage total to the Lightning absorbed. Lightning Armour would be a 9 Star and above skill. Increasing the natural lightning resistance you have to unimaginable heights and with physical contact has a chance to paralyse the person who touched it.For Stored Skills you need to focus on one idea, like aoe or single attack or buffing. They are specific uses of Heavenly Energy to create a desired effect so nothing to vague or wide spread would be better. Magnestism, absorbtion, armour and electrical burns are separate specialisations.>>3672437This is a much better attempt. Focusing on an initial set up and projectiles. However you would need Heavenly Energy to supply excess projectiles.A reminder that at Master Heavenly Energy Control you can attempt to make your own Skills on the fly without the need for an imprint from a beast. The Stored Skills are still very useful for you though as there technically is no limit to how they can grow, including decreasing the cost of said Skills.
>>3672439I can certainly work with the overstimulation bit, however you are not actually healing a muscle or anything. So it wouldn't inflict a tumour or anything. You could just go with a self or aoe healling skill. Afteŕ all you are very squishy at the moment.
>>3672440Interesting.>Golden Spear, Rank 4 Attack Skill, Costs 65 Heavenly Energy>Creates a lance of lightning that shoots out from the user's hand with incredible force.Basically a point-and-shoot beam without any special properties.What about this?
>>3672461Yes. This is good. I would in fact change the Heavenly Energy cost to basically however much you want, as you can boost Stored Skills with your Heavenly Energy Control.
>>3672474Thought I should post this as a review of your current skill list.Saint: Greater Restoration 10 Stars, 120 Heavenly Energy, heals a major wound and fully recovers all Stamina. Wind: Piercing Rapier 6 Stars, costs 40 Heavenly Energy. S Rapier is plus 1d250 for standalone attack. Each wind blade that is released deals 1d80. Remember that with your cheat. Some of this can change with training. "It is a 6 Star Skill which summons a rapier made of wind. You can then as the user swing or thrust the rapier to release blades of wind to target multiple ememies or use the blade as is." Obtained with Quads of evolution.Water: Kinetic Barrier, 5 Stars, 70 Heavenly Energy forms a flexible yet durable barrier where the user summons it; it is 3 times the size of the user and its shape can be changed. Will block 5 attacks under 2000 damage. Will break if encountered by an attack above this or more than 5 attacks. Notibly lacks a way to attack, only defend.Lightning: TBD ideas include>>3672439>>3672440>>3672461Life: TBD Ideas include a self heal. Aoe heal and >>3672439Spacial: TBD at a later date. I have a few ideas but we will think about it later.
>>3672497I think this would be a good time for a complete character sheet. Maybe you could put something up on pastebin?
>>3672501When I get my computer back and I have a good idea on how to use it sure. I can't do this properly on this tiny screen.
>>3672503Good news! I have my computer back so I can start with a pastebin, this might take a while, as this is the first time I am making one myself. Google should be useful for the basic problems.
What should I list for the paste exposure?
>Cloak of the Thunder God, Rank 9 Skill Cost 15 Heavenly Energy per round, Infuses the users body, weapons and other skills with a lightning effect, improving speed, flexibility and damage, as well as adding a paralyzing effect to every attack, paralyzing effect can have its duration and DC increased with energy control
>>3672741I think stats, inventory, details about Zou-do-Shai's Heavenly Jewels, existing cheats and known skills would be a good start. Then maybe a relationships section?
>>3672754I have most of that, I just need to know whether this needs to be set to public, private or unlisted. I don't know.
>>3672758set it to a see only google doc and put the link on top of the threads

>>3672842To be fair, I think GFL and Gold Experience are quite different: GFL only targets a small area (a limb, for example) and is actually closer to a close-range electric shock.
>>3672865yeah and our lightning god cloak would already cover that, paralysis is the lightning elements thing, we need healing and aura cant really be used in combat

You decide on something low cost, high return, maybe you can supply the Heavenly Energy for this with your Jewel's Sparks.You are lead to a large black room, covered in metal and amethyst. It is cold, uncomfortable and dim. Apart from the people and the beast inside, you can't sense any Heavenly Energy. "I need to provide an explanation before you meet this...beast. It is actually a Heavenly Emperor Stage Beast. It is our only Lightning Element monster, and some wouldn't even call it a beast, you see whilst some Lightning Element beasts are organic, the majority are robotic, fueled by the energy in Electricity itself, it's how we power the Inner City, a place someon like you has probably never been to. It started off as a tiny metal mouse, cute, gave you small shocks if you pet it. What we didn't know was that with every touch it absorbed a tiny bit of Heavenly Energy. It grew, changing form until we had to lock it up, its shocks could actually kill people. That was our biggest mistake. It used the Heavenly Energy to change and grow into something almost unstoppable. It escaped once; killed thousands of people before a younger King and his retainers captured it by reversing time for it until it became weak enough that we could re-contain it and make a specialised fortress for it. It probably has dozens of Lightning Elemental Skills locked in there. The one you're going for is located in one of the "Crowd Deterrent Systems" we found after a Heavenly Emperor Stage Lightning Master took a deep spiritual look at it. We know there is one in that massive tube on its shoulder, but we've found nothing yet.

His last Jewel becomes a large silver pocket watch, he opens it, to reveal 12 circular slots, each at one of the 12 hours on a clock. The 12 Alexandrite Jade Jewels move from his left wrist, fitting one each into the slots. He closes the pocket watch. Then moves some controls on the back. as he does so, he speaks out"Time Reversal: 5 Minutes, Single Target"The Mech starts to move back erratically, moving backwards in its own time.

Writing now>>3676342I'm afraid that won't be a possibility, there is a reason it is a 3rd stage element, and the ritual you mention was clan specific, I don't want to spoil it but you won't have an opportunity to get Time. Saint is just as good as Time, just in a different way.

>>3676677Seconding.Try not to let on that her dad is creeptacular.
>>3676677>See Jiang DershwaYou want to talk to her at least, she seemed excited at the prospect of cultivation.You find her being attended by several Life Element doctors, all 9 Jewels, the very best. They take one look at you and say you shouldn't be here, and that a Princess need only to speak to family and close friends. Jiang tells them to be quiet and let you in.She looks nervous, for obvious reasons. Then she asks something you never expected to hear."Why are you here in the Palace? You only broke through to the second level a few days ago, I know dad thinks you have promise, but he's seen you literally once in his entire life...I think Shimuko told me I would be getting some help during the surgery, are you that help?

Though I feel like picking both life and saint was a bit redundant, but I'm unfamiliar with the universe, so I could be wrong.

>>3676803Ah, I hope you enjoy this quest, it's a personal endeavour of mine.>Show JewelYou release your Jewel. You want her to know even someone like you can be lucky. You don't keep it hidden from the attendants. Who finally know how important you are to Jiang's health and surgery. They leave you to be alone with Jiang Dershwa for a bit."I...what!"She starts to cry a bit, smiling as much as she can."We spent a decade looking for the Saint Element, then as soon as I meet you we gain not one but two!"She stands up and hugs you, happy for both you and her. She just stands their for a minute, thinking on what to say first."I...please keep me safe tomorrow OK? Some of my sisters came to see me today, they all said they were happy for me, but some were lying through their teeth. I've waited so long for this. I want you to know that I trust you and Shimuko to heal me."She lets go of you."I'm so happy for your awakening! 6 Elements is rare even in Heavenly Jewel Masters, Lets see what else you have...Wind, Water...Life..Lightning! Spacial! You're practically a genius already! No wonder dad gave you that medal. I know that when I awaken I will be a Heavenly Jewel Master...sort of just runs in the family. No idea what I could get though."You thank her for the congratulations, and ask if there's anything you could do to make her more comfortable during the surgery."Well...dad said that he'll be hanging around after the surgery, but I think I just want some time alone. I know he really worries about me, he worries about everyone. Just try and let me have some privacy. Ah and about that Shimuko tells me that clothes will just get in the way, so try not to peek or anything.""So, do you have any questions for me? You could be here a few more days and you are my saviour so I can't just leave you in the dark." She smiles playfully, a lot less nervous than before.Player Action>Write-in for questionsI need to get some sleep, thank you everyone for playing! The quest will resume at 8am BST tomorrow.

(If all female practitioners with powerful Life Jewels were to have sick children it would be weird, wouldn't it? It should be rare, but I doubt it happened only once.)Does she know about the Angel and the Railgun Beast?
>>3676858What is her family like? Does she have any favorite family members?
>>3676858>Ask her if we should wear blindfold After a joke ask her about her interests, what's she enjoys etc.We should not bombard her with difficult question

>>3676917>>3677305These
Boy that's a lot of questionsTo summarise:Joke followed by interestsAsk about family favesSmooth segway into--Ask why people wouldn't marry a princess even if she's cultivationally challenged. Ask about her condition, why someone at the 11 Jewel level with life give birth to a child with a disabling condition. Ask about the angel and Railgun Mech.>>3677077I don't really xia images will be appropriate, they tend to focus on much older characters than were dealing with. I also haven't really decided on what Zou-Do-Shai looks like, he could have blond hair blue eyes or any other colours, all I decided on was that when you fully mature, you would be decently attractive and have paler skin than most people, lending to your Saint Element, which would make you closer to the physique of an angel i.e white.Most of these have answers but she doesn't know that much. Writing
You certainly have a lot of questions. but you feel like this is the perfect opportunity to make her laugh."Should I wear a blindfold?"She looks at you smugly"No need, I have Shimuko to protect me. Not even that Spacial Element of yours can overcome a 2 Jewel difference. Unless you had X-Ray vision...well that's a 10 Star Spacial Skill, no chance you have it now.""You doubt me that much already? I already have 1 10 Star Skill, why not another?""Oh...I see you met Shara.""Shara? Is that the angel's name?"1/3
"Yeah, she's a bit unnerving for someone like me, she can only see my hair as a symbol of my father, so she doesn't like me all to well. My eldest sister managed to convince her that we aren't exactly like him, but I don't think she trusts me fully."You put that information in the back of the brain for now, family politics is more important."Talking of, I never learnt much about the Dershwa family in the orphanage, just so I don't insult somebody important, could you give me a crash course?2/4 fuck
"Sure! I know my family really well...I spent most of my youth here in the palace, training to be better, learning royal manners, learning how to be a princess, so I got to see people whenever they came home from a job or cultivation, I liked learning about the world, it was all so different to the palace, even if it sounded horrible, mum would go out on long trips especially for pictures of far away places, I still have them in my room, when I get a chance to show you I'm definitely doing so! Oh right! Firstly there are my mother and father, you've seen them. I spent most of my life with mum; dad was too busy being king and everything. Then there are my 5 sisters, now 5 is a lot until you know I also have 5 aunts. Dad seems destined to only have daughters. The eldest, Fei Dershwa, is really talented with music, she has the Wind Element and she uses it to make any sound she wants, I remember when I was really young that I kept pestering her to play something for me, and she always did. She's my favourite if I has to pick. Next is Sun-Di Dershwa, she's very much a fighter, I bet if she walked in here now she would challenge you to a fight, even though there's a 9 Jewel difference, she inherited dad's Icy Jade Jewels so she is really strong. Then we have Shian Dershwa, she's the head of the Darkness department, she's always working so I never really met her all to often, but she always seemed tired, not in the usual way, just tired of something. Then there's Jessica Dershwa, her mother's from Miller, so she was named in the way they do things, I saw her in the castle a lot, she's the head of the Elemental Research department, so is really curious about people's Stored Skills and Jewels, like dad is, try not to go near her alright? She'll ask dad to make you a research subject and no-one, not even me would see you again. Lastly there's the second youngest, Shan-Bai Dershwa, we don't get along well...she never treated me like a member of the family, due to my condition and when the surgery was announced she stormed right in and said she was going to kill the people who were going to heal me. We are rarely in the same place...but just like Jessica, stay clear, she has 3 Elements and 9 Dragonstone Jade Jewels, you'd be dead within a second, literally. Then there's me, only 14, my mother and dad are the same age but he only met her 20 years ago on a reconnaissance mission in the wasteland, found her caring for some folk who were strong enough to make it in, but too weak to escape. Love bloomed from there."
You take a second to process all of that. Then tell her your own friends and family"Wow, I only had a childhood friend and the people at the orphanage to worry about. Do you ever get tired of it? I mean you live in the same building as that Railgun Mech. Then there's all that to worry about.""Oh it's fine, I first met him when he was a really small mouse, but in ten years he grew so much. I'm sure he still remembers me as the pretty girl who pet him every time he asked. Didn't even have any Heavenly Energy for him to eat so there must have been another reason for him to keep coming back.""Do you get many marriage offers? If a monster can like you so could people right?"She looks down, it seems you've hit a bad spot"Well, my mum says that we do get some, but they want me as a trophy, they don't even want kids, because they think my condition is inheritable. So we say no to them every time. Not even surgery could fix a genetics problem.""Do you know why you have it?""My mum is confused about it all, she told me once that it was like carrying a half normal half immortal person when she was pregnant. She thinks that dads Time Element got in the way and because of this she lost control during the birthing. Either way it won't matter now that you came to help right?"She smiles at you again.That's when the doctors come in, demanding they can finish their job.You decide to leave, and...Player Choice for evening>Sleep, bonus to coordination for tomorrow morning>Cultivate with that new tool>Train Sword Technique]>Train Reading>Try out Skill/Element>Try out Independent Rotational Charge>Other?

You're ready, you can do this.Shimuko makes the opening incision. Many tools and precautions in place to catch the blood and recycle it back into Jiang Dershwa's bloodstream. She uses the Life and Light Elements to reveal her meridians, a normally spiritual organ now brought to the physical realm.She makes the cuts at the precise points, then slowly reseals the Heavenly Energy Channels. Using the Saint Element. Blank Heavenly Energy is run through them to check there are no leaks or defects. Everything looks fine. However Shimuko's job is not done yet, she makes the meridians spiritual again, then activates her Saint Element, this is where you must step in and help with the healing, after all, there is a major wound in Jiang Dershwa's abdomen.>Roll 1d100+20 best of three COORD to heal Jiang's body to its normal condition.

The King is waiting outside the surgery room.You walk out and see him in holding the silver pocket watch you saw during the fight with the Railgun Mech. "Did the operation go well?""Yes, Princess Jiang is being attended by Shimuko. Who has said that she doesn't want anyone else to see Princess Jiang until she is cleared. The surgery was a success"You see him start to cry."14 years we spent looking for a way to heal her. Now that it's done I can't help but feel happy. I know Shimuko said that no-one could see my daughter, but as a King, shouldn't an exception be standard?""You can see her when her sister isn't trying to kill the both of us."He stops at that."I..I knew things were tense between the two, but death? I can't let that happen to the ones who saved my daughter now can I? I am busy with talks with the King of Miller today, but you are safe under my watch. Consider yourself forever a friend to the Dershwa family."That's when Shimuko leaves the operating room. "What do you think you're doing here, get lost! I told you yesterday that nobody could see her until I personally cleared her, go!"Taking the hint, he leaves"Zou, consider yourself on leave until both the post op is over and we have our payment. You will receive a weapon, a new cultivation tool and a gift of your own choosing, I suggest you ask for some help in storing a Spacial Skill.

You pick up your Hunter's Sword and open the door.Jessica Dershwa stands there with her fist raised in a knocking position, face deathly pale and Heterochromia eyes sunken in to the sockets.You decide to take the first move."Hi, what will my kidnapper like today? No more experiments I hope?""I mean...I want your help. Let me inside we need some privacy, Those Jewels of yours could be the key to infinite energy for the city! Just let me inside so none of the attendants hear us!"Player Choice>Let her inside>Refuse

>Let her inside"Phew, you never can talk around those things."She walks in and closes the door behind her."Things?""Yeah they're all robots, never know where they broadcast their audio data, notice the perpetual face cloth? Anyway a few days ago we noticed a strange phenomenon in one of the training rooms, without a subsequent drop in someplace else, the Heavenly Energy density increased. We connected this to when you both dispelled your wind rapier and...something else. I know about that spinning charge on your Jewel. All I want is the opportunity to find out why it happens and how to replicate it. I hope you understand that this matter is of the utmost importance. I don't need you to stay with the Elemental Research Department all the time but a few hours would be great.""What would I get out of this?" You pre-dial Fei Dershwa, this sounds pretty sketchy."A better cultivation tool, money and private training with me. I happen to be an expert in the use of the Elements, and can help you secure a Spacial Skill too.""I want an answer in the next 5 minutes. I have personally bowed my head to Fei and promised to not hurt you during the tests. If you refuse you will continue the cycle of death and fighting we need to do with beasts. This isn't just about you, it's about all Dershwa City! Imagine even the outskirts with the technology available in this Palace."She sits down on your bed, waiting.

Remember like all of the sisters she is not perfect and will be hesitant to answer some of these questions, she is hopeless at social skills as she thinks people can figure out her intentions with mind reading or something.
>>3683221Thank you for your effort.
>>3683221>20 Questions"Yeah actually, medicine?""Well, it came as a co-product from trying to develop a medicine that can make Elemental and Physical Jewel Masters into Heavenly Jewel Masters, this involved a lot of study into how Power Jewels awaken, we made the first step in making a medicine that can help someone who is too old to awaken their Jewels progress to the next level. That's the prototype. The main problem is that it is poisonous to those who have Jewels of Power.""Is that what you give to bad test subjects?""No! Some just die because they're too weak! Seriously what Jewel Master can't take a full day's work! We have most of them testing out newly discovered Skills, of course if they try and use a Skill they don't have enough Heavenly Energy for...well we know for next time.""Right...ah about that what job does this place even do? All I have seen are the cells.""We make and design and research the stuff everyone else uses and maintains. Most of the tax money goes straight to me. The assistants, the Heavenly Energy extraction machines the weapons the communicators. Everything was thought and built here.""For how long? The Palace is huge!""Well funny thing is that it only feels huge because of the Spacial Element making rooms where they shouldn't exist. Thousands of people life and die here, it's like a separate country. Dad started the foundation about 500 years ago and others built upon it.""500 years? How much of that were you involved with?""Hmph, rude. For your information I'm only 130 and I still look 19; I took over when I was 20!"You stare into the shadows around her eyes. You can't imagine her face without them. She implied that she was beautiful, but she doesn't look very healthy."110 years of research, what are you doing now?""Well the Heavenly Master medicine is the main project, but other things include a piece of equipment to help Darkness users to survive storing a Spacial Skill without the Spacial Element. There's the space program, the flying castle project, and finally you!""I know you want to know more about the Heavenly Energy generation, but what if this isn't replicate-able?" "I don't care, if we want to progress we need the Energy and the core farms we have now aren't cutting it.""Wow, didn't think to ask me first huh?""What? No of course not, a daughter of the King himself needed you that's all the fucking incentive you need. Fei, the damn airhead, thinks people need a personal reason, but in every case, even yours, all I need to do is offer you something like money or a tool and they come running.""You must be nice at parties.""I'll have you know I'm an excellent dancer! It's just no-one else seems to think in this fucking place. Even Jiang, the poor girl, hates me, I did everything in my power to help and 7 years later to the month she thinks i'm some sort of psycho!"*DING*"Ah looks like its done, right. I need you to build up that charge for me Okay?"1/2
