《The Adventures of the Mask Maker》Forbidden Spring and Other Quests
Advertisement
After finishing making a mask out of Shadow's blood, I left the tavern and headed to the guild to take some quests while still waiting for my A-rank promotion quest. Upon entering the guild, I see many adventurers applying for quests. As I squeezed through the crowd at the quest board, I scanned the available quests close to my rank and chose 3 B-rank and 2 C-rank quests. I took the 5 quests and showed a nearby guild receptionist. After he approved of my choices, I left the guild. Jumping on Blackie, we flew to the Unknown Lands in the far northeast. Arriving at the eastern ocean, we flew for a while before spotting a pirate ship. I told Blackie to hover above the ship before jumping off his back. With a Dragon Leap, I smashed into the boat fiercely causing the boat to capsize. Pirates scrambled out, some attacked me while others tried to save themselves. Using Flow Like Wind, I zigzagged to the nearest Pirate and Dragon Horn his chin - his whole head exploded from the power. Then, I moved to a cluster of three Pirates and Dragon Roar at point blank...causing blood to spurt out of their six orifices of their heads.
Next, I Dragon Leap from one side of the sinking ship to the other catapulting many Pirates into the air who are then killed by Blackie. Suddenly a door opened and a Pirate with an eyepatch scampered out while holding what looks like a small treasure chest. With a push of my feet, I appeared in front of the startled Pirate leader. Bringing up my hand, I Dragon Palm the Pirate leader in the stomach, blowing him back towards the room he scampered out from and caught the chest he was holding. I looked at the Pirate leader and sees that he has died - his bones broken in all the weird places. I turned my gaze at the chest in my hands and peered inside...as I expected, it was full of gold coins and jewelry. Storing the treasure, I hopped on Blackie and we flew away. I looked back and took note of my work...one pirate ship sunk - check...more than 5 Pirates slain - check.

Flying westwards for a while, I arrive at Were-Clan Town. The guards looked at me suspiciously and asked what my purpose was coming to their town. When I said that I was sent by the guild to take their request of slaying some feral werebeasts, their expressions immediately changed for the better as they showed me the direction of where the feral werebeasts were spotted. I thanked them before I headed that direction. Upon arriving, I see several feral Werewolves. I grabbed my Werewolf Mask and transformed into a Werewolf. Then, I approached the feral Werewolves. When they saw me, they ignored me thinking that I was another feral Werewolf. As their backs are turned away from me, I approached behind the nearest one and Dragon Horn the left side of his chest. The force of my punch pierced through the feral Werewolf's chest and punched his heart out. The remaining Werewolves turned in surprise. Taking advantage of the surprise, I Dragon Stomp towards them, causing them to collapse. Then, combining Flow Like Wind with Dragon Kick and Ferocious Dragon Tail, I one-hit ripped their heads from their necks. After killing all six of the Feral Werebeasts, I stored their bodies in my ring. I reported back to the Were-Clan and they thanked me with some rabbit corpses. I accepted the corpses and proceeded to cook one for lunch. Finished eating, I hopped on Blackie and we flew northwest towards the Fire Giant camp.
..........
After a few minutes of fast flying, I arrived deep in the Ash Plains with the Fire Giant camp in sight. Now, last time I was here, most of the Fire Giants were marching towards the Frost Giant camp to raid. However, they were unsuccessful and all the Fire Giants died, including the retreated Fire Giants who met their demise in my hands. When, I arrive near the camp, I see that there were more Fire Giants - must have been reinforcements from the main camp from who knows where. As I observed the Fire Giant camp, I see a Fire Giant leader with a dazzling Fire Sword. Smiling, I get ready to steal the Fire Sword. I grabbed my Ghost Mask and turned invisible. Then, I fluttered towards the leader tent. Entering, I see the Fire Giant leader preparing to sleep, his sword by his bed. Before I steal the sword, I decided to kill the Fire Giant leader. I approached the sleeping Fire Giant and took off my mask. I grabbed the Fire Sword and with a slash, I beheaded the Fire Giant before it could wake up. I stored the body and the Fire Sword and transformed into a ghost again. Invisible, I left the camp and made my way to Blackie who was sitting a distance away. Taking off my mask, I told Blackie that the quest is finished and that we should head southwest towards the Forbidden Spring in the Verdant Forest.

After an hour, we arrived at the Forbidden Spring. Now, rumor has it that the spring is a sacred spring guarded by unicorns and fairies. This sacred spring has been known to grant the drinker eternal youth. But whether this is truth or myth will be determined with this quest. As I looked at the Forbidden Spring and the unicorns and fairies guarding it, I decided to make a mask to disguise myself. Opening Maker's Domain, I rummaged through my bag to see what I can make. I took out a rabbit corpse that I got from the Were-Clan and skinned the rabbit. Using its fur, I made a simple Transforming Mask that lets me transform into a small rabbit. As a rabbit, I could enter the Forbidden Spring vicinity and not be suspected by the guarding unicorns and fairies. I approached the Spring and took a drink. Hmm...nope no eternal youth effects...but the spring water produces a high level healing and replenishing effect. While the unicorns and fairies weren't watching, I took out a jar from my storage ring and scooped up a jar full of the spring water. Then, I scampered off. Once I made sure the distance between me and the Forbidden Spring was large enough, I took off the rabbit mask and called for Blackie. Then, we flew back to the guild.

Code Reader Kagami (LitRPG)
Sometimes things happen in this world that we are not in control of. Sometimes we are to a certain degree, and sometimes we are completely in control. However, this is a tale that constantly questions those boundaries. The story follows Kagami, a young programmer, as he winds up in a world almost alien to him. If it were up to him, he would have never visited this world and would rather stay raising his young daughter. Was it through his own actions that he had wound up here? Was it due to several combinations of factors? Or was it something he completely chose. These are questions that constantly haunt Kagami’s mind as he wanders this world and ponders his actions. Unfortunately, the glaring truth of it all refuses to ever look him in the eyes. Each night as he looks up at the night sky, he wonders if the end of this would turn out like the game he made. A tale of Guts and Glory… or would it turn out like he fears, a tale of blood and tears. Regardless of how it turns out, he will one day unveil the truth enshrouding it all. And perhaps in doing so, unveil the fate of his old world, enshrouded by mystery. ___________________________________________________________________________ While this is a typical Isekai started by the infamous truck-kun, the story is most definitely not what is to be taken at face value. I love making tragic twists into these types of stories. For Code Reader Kagami, you'll begin to see a descent into psychological madness. As your hero changes entirely from the moral man he initially was. If you're not a fan of dark aspect stories, this one is not for you. Thank you~
