Job Location:Ace of Spades
Job Description:A rumor has been spreading through all other cities, and small towns about a strange crystal that somehow appeared just a few miles outside the borders to Ace of spades. Upon arriving, you find that the locals know exactly what you're talking about, and announce it's no rumor at all. One of the locals (details of what they look like are up to you) offers to lead you (and your group if you're in one) to the crystal.
Upon arriving at it, you find the crystal to be firmly planted inside a large black pillar. The crystal, upon closer examination, seems to by some sort of diamond that's bright blue in color. The local tells you that it only reacts to magic power, and that the local guild hasn't investigated it since it has no immediate danger to the town; if anything, it's been helping the town since it brings in tourists who wanna see it first hand.
Out of morbid curiosity, you decide to touch it causing the crystal to glow and suck you in, transporting you to another world entirely... In this world, the laws of yours don't apply. That said, there are some alterations to magic.
- Light, Holy, and Unholy Magic Receive a -50% power reduction. In this world, there are no gods, there are no demons... there is only what there is.
- Darkness magic receives a +50% boost in power. This world is filled with darkness...
((This job is done in 12 settings, all of which have images for your convenience.))
- Violation (Arrival Area):
You arrive in this area, what seems to be a destroyed forest. Around you the silence is eerie, and there are no good smells in the wind. The corpses of nine deer can be seen emaciated, as though they had the life drained from them in an instant. The trees are withered, and no plants are around... Those who are able to grow plants magically will find that as soon as those plants sprout, they wither and die. It's in this scene that you find a girl who seems to appear out of nowhere.
She tells you that you're no longer in your world, and that there is no way to escape. The use of spacial magic, or any spell that normally allows teleportation to other worlds will only yield being teleported directly back into this one. She tells you that there is a way out.
"You have to collect twelve crystals and combine them, then bring them to the core of this wold and free my creator. She will send you home with no resistance at all. But the crystals are found in twelve separate areas, I can teleport you directly to them, that much will be easy. However... each crystal is embedded into a powerful entity that we will need to kill. Once dead, I can remove the crystals but it will take longer if the entities are alive... mostly because they will be trying to kill you."
- Boss Details:
Located within the forest, the creature instantly senses you as soon as you look at it. This will occur no matter what effect you're using to mask your presence, or any aspect of yourself. It's 30 feet tall, and with it are 2 more 5 foot tall versions that look just like it. The monster will inhale a massive gulp of air before engaging you in combat, causing a bit of magic (5%) to be drained from you, and worse, checking your lineage. Those players who's lineages make them immune to debuffs, status effects, or curses will instantly have their entire lineage shut off for the remainder of this job.
Boss: It takes 15 hits of B Rank damage to take it down. It deals A Rank damage with its attacks. The two minions will target the girl who teleported you there as they know she will try to remove the crystal.
- Ignorance:
Covered in fog, it's hard to see beyond a few feet. There's no way of knowing what lays beyond you. Those with X-Ray vision, or Infra Red, or some other form of alternate sight that doesn't rely on the interpretation of light particles will be of more use here than anywhere. The boss you face in this area is a black creature that darts around, constantly attacking your back.
- boss:
The creature is roughly 1 foot long, and is extremely fast. It hits for B Rank damage and takes 4 hits of damage to take down. However, it's also accompanied by 2 more versions of itself that have the exact same profile. So you have to kill all 3 to find the real one.
- Comfort:
Raining... constantly a downpour as your next battle takes place on a flight of stairs.
- boss details:
This one has a pair of chainguns attached to her hands. She's highly mobile and appears well adapted to fighting in close environments. The only real weakness you can find on her is that her small frame, and the fact that she's using a minigun with 1 hand, makes it so she can only fire in bursts. Additionally, with the weapons infused to her hand like they are, getting within stabbing range is the easiest way to bring her down. She deals A Rank damage with all attacks, is very fast and very agile, exceptional at acrobatics, and takes 12 hits of B Rank to take down. She's 5 feet tall.
- Shelter:
An extremely small house with nine children inside, it's obvious none of them are related... However, seconds after you enter the children all morph, and a man steps out looking not much cuter than they do now...
- Boss details:
This one has a durability of 8 hits of B Rank damage, however, he won't die until all 9 of the children have been killed. What's more, he'll consume one of the children to regenerate 2 more durability. The children will attack for C Rank damage, each taking 1 hit of C Rank to take down, and their 'master' deals B Rank damage with dark orbs that he can fire at will.
- Weakness:
A dilapidated cabin. Exploration of it will land you in a room where a large pool of blood is in the corner, as well as signs of something small having been tossed around with great force.
- Boss Details:
It's unknown wat their significance is, but there's 5 of them, they each deal B Rank damage, take 4x B Rank damage to take down, and seem to enjoy using fists, and knives for weapons. One of them has the crystal, but which one is unknown. Their heights vary from 5' 8" to 6' 1"
- salvation:
Surrounded by stars, looking down will reveal to you that there's nothing below your feet. You feel a strange sense of healing come over you, all wounds inflicted in this world instantly heal over, and your HP is restored by 50% as well as 30% magic power. If you're unable to store anymore MP, it will remain with you in the form of a mist that lingers around your being until needed. After this, a large wolf with a flaming mouth will appear and attack you without mercy... it's a wolf, why would it show mercy?
- boss details:
A 30 foot long, 15 foot tall wolf that uses fire magic primarily. It has a flame thrower attack that deals H Rank damage, with all other attacks dealing S Rank damage. It takes 14 hits of B Rank damage to take it down.
- Emptiness:
A desert... vast, empty, lifeless... There's not a whole lot to tell about this place since it's the only one that seems extremely similar to any location found back on earthland up till now.
- Boss details:
With not a drop of blood in its body, this creature is made entirely of bone and muscle that has no reason as to why it can function beyond 'reasons...' It's able to attack at range with a bone spike attack that's inedible to slayers, and at close range it has claws, a tail.. a mouth on its back and stomach. The beast is able to fly, deals A Rank damage with all attacks and takes 7 hits of B Rank damage to take down.
- Anger:
Located inside a burning forest, you have no time to take in the 'wonderful' surroundings. Inside this area, player's fire magic is 100% stronger, and Ice/Water magic is 100% unable to be used without it evaporating instantly.
- boss details:
Among the flames, by means of erupting through a set of flaming trees, this 50 foot long, 20 foot tall monster blasts its way onto the field. It's wreckless in its movements, attacking wildly and angrily at anything that moves. It deals S Rank damage with all attacks, but due to how weak anger makes someone it only takes 6 hits of B Rank to take it down.
- Hatred:
Out of the pot, into the fire huh? The group's little crystal grabber will let you know you're almost done once you reach this point, and as soon as that happens a massive titan erupts from below, spreading lava and brimstone all over.
- boss details:
Covered in flames, and far more focused than before; this being gives new meaning to the saying
'Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn.' It takes 20 hits of B Rank to take down, and is much more accurate than the anger entity from before. Knowing what the crystal snatcher is there for, it will specifically target her even why under attack from others. The only time it won't attack her is if she's being concealed by magic, in which case, it will target the one who's casting the concealment spell. It deals S Rank damage with all attacks, and can use fire magic that no slayer can ever consume. The titan is 50 feet tall, and while it's fast, it's hard to miss something so massive.
- False Strength:
A world coated in blades of all shape and size, even the ones you have on your person can be found here if you have one at all. There's weapons that existed at the dawn of time, in ancient text, in fairy tales, every weapon that was ever made whether real or fictional are within this single war torn field. For those who make their way to the top of the field, they'll see on the other side countless corpses, fires burning, banners hung in every war in recorded history...and among these corpses is the entity of False Strength.
- boss details:
The ground shakes and all the corpses lift in the air, taking on a dark blue glow before moving into a central point, ripped apart and combined in a cyclone. Then combining to a ten foot tall demonic looking creature. While demonic in appearance, its aura has no signs of being unholy in the slightest... though it does reek of decaying flesh. Despite it's intimidating looks, it takes 3 hits of B Rank to kill, and deals C Rank damage with its attacks. It moves slow, but acts as though it's a powerful monster like it wants to be.
- Solitude:
Covered in snow, colder than the silent glaciers at night during winter, the place is about as isolated as it gets. The only thing to guide you are a set of torches lighting a path, and you're at the beginning of it. At the end of the path, you find a large beast in the middle of the road that you can only assume is your target for this area. Like the burning forest, except opposite... Ice Magic is 100% more effective, Water Magic is 100% useless since it turns to Ice instantly, and Fire magic just fizzles out from the extreme cold (no matter how hot your flames are). Wind magic is 25% less effective due to the constantly shifting winds that plague the area.
- boss details:
It's a slow moving creature covered in hair that acts like an armour, making it so 40 hits of B Rank is necessary to end its existence. It deals S Rank damage with all attacks, and it has a wide variety of Ice based magic. It's attacks are relatively slow, and it's not good at dodging. It will attack whoever it can get a lock on. The creature is 30 meters tall and 80 meters long.
- Protection:
Once the previous battle in "Solitude" is completed, you find yourselves teleported to the 11th area and faced by a girl wearing a red cloak and wielding a scythe. She's the only boss that speaks to you. "I've been watching you. You fight for... her. Your actions are for your own purposes, but they still work towards her benefit." her voice is fair, and gentle. It gives no hint of her having ill intentions. "I'll give you one of the pieces I've collected, if you can best me and prove that you're strong enough to face the next enemy."
No spoiler this time, this mysterious girl is blindingly fast. She's able to use her scythe with immense skill, and if you manage to get within stabbing range she'll surprise you by turnign the scythe into an assault rifle. At long ranges it turns into sniper rifle that she has every bit of skill with as the sniper. She takes 12 hits of B Rank to take down, and deals A Rank damage with her attacks.
- Tranquility:
The room here seems peaceful, and extremely still. It's decorated in glowing crystals that illuminate every corner of the room and causes this atmosphere. In the middle of it is a lage crystal formation with a girl inside, seemingly frozen in time as she remains. At this point in time, the crystal carrier will go to each of the twelve pillars and place one of the crystals in them before stopping at the twelfth and stopping with empty hands. "The last crystal.." she says before pointing at the girl in the large crystal. Another healing energy will come over you all, healing for for 50% and restoring 30% magic power again. However, this time the magic won't linger if you can't store anymore.
- Final Boss:
The crystals in the pillars all light up and fire a beam at the crystal causing it to shatter. However, the girl seems to disappear, instantly reappearing while attacking whoever was closest to the crystal she was in.
The girl takes 30 hits of B Rank to take down, moves at ridiculously fast speed, uses Elemental, Space, and Time magic at a master's level and is entirely immune to debuffs. This immunity to debuffs cannot be removed by any other effect. Her melee attacks deal H Rank damage, and her magic deals A Rank.
- Job completion:
Once the girl in the crystal is dead, the one who collected the crystals will tear out her heart and set it in the final pedestal. Twelve beams will enter her corpse and resurrect it, with all twelve crystals vanishing as they've merged with her once more.
"Thank... thank you... I'm sorry you were put through this ordeal. Please, let me thank you properly." She extends her hands and before each person appears a crystal shaped like a heart, and a crystal shaped like a skull. "Choose one. The heart will provide you with a very powerful magic item, the skull a weapon. It will become whatever you wish, so long as you can think it."
Once you've chosen, you'll find yourself the spot just outside of Ace of Spades. The pillar you used to enter that world is no longer there, and the person who escorted you says that it's only been a minute since you entered. They explain after you went in, the pillar vanished, and you reappeared here.
