Cursed Technique: "Infernal Ascendancy" (火炎昇華 - Kaen Shouka)

Clan: Enrai Clan (炎雷氏族 - "Flame and Thunder Clan")

Description:

"Infernal Ascendancy" is a potent and fearsome Cursed Technique wielded by members of the Enrai Clan, who are known for their mastery of fire-based Cursed Energy. This technique allows the user to manipulate and intensify fire to devastating effect, channeling their cursed energy to unleash fiery destruction.

Primary Technique:

Infernal Ascendancy:
The user harnesses their Cursed Energy to create and control fire. They can manipulate its intensity, temperature, and direction, turning even a small spark into a raging inferno. The technique focuses on increasing the heat and destructive power of flames exponentially.
Extension Techniques:

1. Blazing Surge:
   • The user generates a burst of fire that rapidly increases in temperature and intensity, scorching everything in its path.
   • Chant: "From ember to inferno, rise and consume!"
2. Heat Wave:
   • By manipulating the air around them, the user creates a wave of intense heat that can incinerate enemies and melt obstacles.
3. Flame Whip:
   • The user shapes their fire into a whip-like construct, capable of slicing through objects and causing explosive bursts upon impact.
4. Infernal Armor:
   • The user surrounds themselves with a protective layer of superheated flames, burning anything that comes too close and providing a defensive barrier.

Domain Expansion:

Domain Expansion: Pyroclasmic Realm (火山爆発の界 - Kasan Bakuhatsu no Kai):

• The user creates a domain filled with an intense, swirling inferno where temperatures are so high that even the air seems to burn. Within this realm, the user has absolute control over all fire and heat, able to summon volcanic eruptions and torrents of flame at will. The oppressive heat within the domain can quickly overwhelm and incinerate opponents.

Limitations:

• Energy Drain: The intense heat and power required for this technique consume a large amount of Cursed Energy, leading to rapid depletion if not managed carefully.
• Environmental Impact: Using this technique recklessly can cause widespread destruction, making it difficult to control in populated areas or near allies.
• Cooldown: After performing the Domain Expansion, the user experiences a significant drop in their Cursed Energy, rendering them vulnerable for a period.

Chants:

1. Activation: "Ignite the fire within, ascend to infernal might!"

Clan Lore:
The Enrai Clan, translating to "Flame and Thunder Clan," is renowned for their powerful fire-based Cursed Techniques. Their history is steeped in legends of great warriors who have wielded fire to protect their lands and conquer their foes. The clan's members are trained from a young age to master the control of fire, learning to harness its destructive power and refine it into an art form.
The Enrai Clan's culture revolves around the symbolism of fire as both a creator and destroyer. They believe that through fire, one can achieve purity and transformation. The clan resides in a volcanic region, where the ever-present heat serves as a constant reminder of their fiery heritage. The clan's motto, "Through fire, we ascend," embodies their belief in the transformative power of flames and their unwavering resolve to rise above all challenges.
As I have done before, I have made the groundwork and have gotten assistance from AI to improve it.

Where the sands shimmer like gold under the blazing sun, a legend begins. Mir, the passionate inventor, unearths secrets buried beneath the golden dunes, while Fenrir, the mighty warrior, stands guard with unwavering strength.
Among the relics of a forgotten era, they discover an artifact that holds the power to manipulate time itself. As they journey through the shifting sands of Goldensand, every grain becomes a clue, every moment a test of their courage and ingenuity.

Suprabhat, Vannakam, Adab and Welcome to the 2024 LOK SABHA GENERAL ELECTION THUNDERDOME.
NO RULES, NO LIMITS, ONLY CHAOS.
THE CAGE -
India is a parliamentary democracy that follows the first-past-the-post voting system, similar to the standard Westminster System. The Lower House of the Indian Parliament (Lok Sabha) consists of 543 seats representing 543 constituencies that send 1 Member of Parliament (MP) each. These 543 MP's then choose a prime minister via simple majority.
For each constituency, a political party gives a ticket to a single Candidate. The Candidate with at least a plurality of votes in a constituency represents that Constituency in parliament as a member of the party.
There are no party level primaries in India, the candidate for a constituency is decided by the party high command and only one person from a party can be on the ticket for a particular seat. You can contest multiple constituencies though from the same party as both Narendra Modi (2014 BJP Candidate for both Varanasi and Vadodara) and Rahul Gandhi (2024 Congress Candidate for both Rae Bareili and Wayanad) have done. If no existing political party gives you a ticket, you can contest as an Independent Candidate or form your own party and contest as a member of your own party.
The government can be formed by the party or the alliance that has a simple majority of MP's. When no single political party has a majority of MP's, an alliance of various parties can be formed that contains the majority of MP's. This is called a post-poll alliance, where the parties contest elections separately but might come together after the elections in order to form the government or be part of the government. However there is also the pre-poll alliance where political parties join or form an alliance before the elections.
THE DATES -
THE RESULTS -
EXIT POLLS -
THE FIGHTS -
Economy & Employment:
The incumbent BJP-led NDA government makes the positive case of economic growth and development under its decade long tenure. It points to strong rejuvenated GDP growth with relatively low inflation, rising wages, a growing middle class, stable macroeconomic positioning, strong spending, slashing of multidimensional poverty, a strong and well administered welfare state, expanded free trade, sharp reduction in regulation, increase in select manufacturing and industry, a revitalized finance sector, and a thriving service market.
The government points to the large-scale infrastructure development undertaken, expanding roadways, delivering expansive electrification, and provisions of basic utility services. They point to the stagnation and policy paralysis observed under the tenure of the last Congress government (UPA 2), and further make point to the opposition's alleged proposed populist economic programs as untenable and unfeasible. They make the case that the opposition has leftist economic policies that are not grounded in economic reality.
The INC-led I.N.D.I.A opposition on the other hand, makes the negative case against the incumbents, pointing to large scale youth unemployment, even among educated youth. They point to an alleged inability of the government to tie growth to employment. They allege a failure of manufacturing capacity and sufficient industrialization of the economy, highlighting the lack of sufficient private capital inflows. They criticize the growth figures of the economy by casting doubt on the government's statistics, and focusing extensively on growing wealth inequality, alleging that growth only occurs for the rich billionaire class, with minimal relief for the poor, targeting specific attacks against domestic industrial magnates, Adani and Ambani. They allege favoritism on the part of the incumbent government towards their select base, highlighting the state of Gujarat as being prioritized over other states.
In making their positive case, they propose a more inclusive and redistributive model of growth, proposing heightened subsidization programmes, more welfare and support programmes, higher taxation on the wealthy and corporations, leveraging private capital inflows for infrastructure development, and prioritizing equitable growth through a caste census, developing corrective policies for inequalities between castes.
They aim to solve the employment crisis through expanding roles in state enterprises and filling government vacancies, alongside expanding labour intensive industries like manufacturing and mining, whilst pointing to high growth rates of the economy as well as committing to expand manufacturing through reforms and subsidy platforms like the PLI, FAME etc., further claiming that increased infrastructure spending will lead to crowding in effect thus enabling faster industrialization.
Social Justice:
The issues of social equity and justice have become major cornerstones of both the incumbent and opposition electoral platforms. This is most prevalent through the forthcoming section on sectarianism, but also focuses on key issues regarding class equality and - most importantly - caste-based discrimination.
The incumbent BJP-led NDA government point to their solid track record of universal poverty alleviation, targeted successful welfare and affirmative action programmes. The INC-led I.N.D.I.A opposition on the other hand, point to growing wealth inequality and apparent institutional and systemic discrimination against underprivileged caste communities in academia, employment, governmental programmes, courts, the military, etc. They allege that the government has not committed to taking resolute and definitive action against casteism through corrective policy.
This all boils down to the Reservation system, a large scale, affirmative action initiative, conducted through a systematic quota-based policy of allotment of institutional positions in education, governmental employment, schemes and programmes, direct political representation, etc.
With reservations estimated to have hit 59.5% of Central Government Institutional positions, there are now broader calls to expand the scale and scope of this drive. The opposition wanting to break the cap limits and even introduce this system into the private sector to potentially induce parity, while the government commits to more modest hikes of upto 62.5% while playing into incumbent Prime Minister Narendra Modi's identity as a member of an underprivileged caste community.
While the opposition campaigns on removing limits to the quota system to deliver equity, the government alleges these commitments to be populist and detrimental, while alleging that the opposition seeks to potentially appease its Muslim voter base by introducing expanded reservations for Muslims, thereby allegedly sabotaging the disadvantaged Hindu lower castes, and redistributing their wealth to Muslims, in a bid to gain their votes.
Communalism:
Both the incumbent BJP-led NDA government and the INC-led I.N.D.I.A opposition have framed communalism as a lynchpin issue of the Election. The incumbent government points to alleged casteist and bigoted rhetoric against select caste groups and Hindus. They allege the opposition panders to minorities for their votes, whilst not delivering on the real issues. They allege the opposition seeks to drive up divisiveness and shared social harmony in India. They further allege that the opposition engages in divisive rhetoric on key issues of Hindu-Indian culture like that of the Ram Temple, in ways that contradict the spirit of the Indian State.
The opposition on the other hand, accused the incumbent government of being bigoted against minority communities, from the large Muslim community, to the lower caste communities of Indian society. They allege use of hateful and divisive rhetoric against these communities, and point to select controversial government positions and policies on issues like the Ram Mandir, the controversial CAA-NRC laws, the proposed Uniform Civil Code, among others. They further allege institutional degradation of key offices including policing, academia, and the military in discriminating against minority groups.
Institutional Independence:
The INC-led I.N.D.I.A opposition alleges institutional degradation and capture of various independent governmental entities by the incumbents. They point to the use of Executive, Investigative, Anti-Corruption, Enforcement, & Tax authorities against opposition figures and media as evidence, highlighting specific cases of the detaining and arrest of two sitting opposition Chief Ministers, and the resignation of one. They highlight alleged selective targeting of opposition figures for raids, charges, and arrests, creating an alleged environment of impunity for the government. The opposition alleges heightened and blatant partisanship of members of the Judiciary in support of the incumbent government. They also allege illegitimate freezing of campaigning funds, crackdowns on press freedoms via capture of media institutions, and also critically alleges institutional capture of the Election Commission, casting doubts on election results primarily critiquing India's Electronic Voting Machines (EVM).
The Government rebukes these claims as part of a strong anti-corruption drive, highlighting a drop in governmental corruption cases since the previous Congress government (UPA 2, infamously riddled with such allegations). The government frames the opposition parties as corrupt and power-hungry, while further disparaging the opposition's alleged unfounded attacks on Indian institutions, apparent partisan attacks on the judiciary and critiquing apparent unfounded claims of election denialism.
THE FIGHTERS –
The election is primarily clash between two large coalitions, and their leading parties. On one side, you have the incumbent government of the BJP-led NDA, or National Democratic Alliance, and on the other, you have the opposition INC-led I.N.D.I.A, or Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance, a new mega coalition of more than 35 parties, with a few unofficial supporters too.
The following is a list of some key players in each of the alliances and is by no means a comprehensive or exhaustive list of all involved factions.
The incumbent NDA includes:

1. BJP – The BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party - "Indian People's Party") is a Hindu nationalist party committed to Hindutva ideology, promoting Hindu culture, opposing Muslim immigration, and creating a nativist country wherein India embraces a fundamentally Hindu social fabric. The BJP government under Modi undertook strong reformist policies in promoting liberalization of the economy through aggressive regulatory reforms, furthering free trade through FTAs and privatization of underperforming state assets. They took aggressive stances on defense and counterterrorism against Pakistan and China, while pragmatically engaging other nations despite criticism on some foreign policy moves for being 'wolf warrior-esque'. They uphold a strong nationalist domestic and foreign policy, that simultaneously does not retreat from globalization. On National Security, they aim to make India a regional power with a strong emphasis on modernization & indigenization of military administration and technology, while also reducing bureaucratic and manpower burdens through varied recruitment windows.
   
2. JD(U) - The JD(U) (Janata Dal (United) – “People’s Party (United)”) is led by Bihar CM Nitish Kumar and has been in power in the eastern state of Bihar since 2005. It was formed after a series of splits and mergers in the Janata Dal in the 90s. It is credited with doing good work in the state on roads, electricity, and water, however it has failed to provide jobs & spur manufacturing. This, combined with its leader frequently switching between rival alliances, is causing anti-incumbency.
   
3. TDP - The TDP (Telugu Desam Party – “Party of the Telugu Land") follows a pro-Telugu ideology. It was founded as an alternative to the Congress hegemony, by emphasizing Telugu regional pride and serving as the party for farmers, backward castes and middle-class people. Since the 1990s, it has followed an economically liberal policy that has been seen as pro-business and pro-development as well as populist welfare measures.
   

The opposition I.N.D.I.A includes:

1. INC - The INC (Indian National Congress) is a big tent social-democratic/democratic-socialist party with its foundational pillars being equity, equality, and egalitarianism. They take broad commitments to secularism and class equality to be principal positions. The INC under Rahul Gandhi has taken strong positions on caste issues, shining light on inequities from past and current discrimination, and proposing active policy interventions. While the INC also holds a free-market/pro-liberalization consensus, they emphasize growing social and wealth inequality and seek inclusive and redistributive growth with strong state intervention. They also see some proposed liberalizing reforms to further inequality and take an 'anti-corporatist' position. They take a slightly less strong position to Indian foreign policy, stressing a more diplomatic approach (with minimal variance on actual positions to the incumbents). They embrace globalization in part, while emphasizing India's need for domestic development. They aim to industrialize India rapidly through stimulating private investment and aim to subsidize both supply and demand. They seek to maintain the Indian military with a focus on highly trained soldiers. They pioneered multi-alignment as the foreign policy for India.
   
2. AAP - The AAP (Aam Aadmi Party – “Common Man's Party"), part of INDIA coalition, currently holds power in two key states - Delhi and Punjab. Its chief figurehead and leader, Arvind Kejriwal, the Chief Minister of Delhi, was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate under an alleged liquor scam in the run up to elections. Barely a 10 year old party it has expanded very quickly to many states, running two of them, and now has national party status by the Election Commission of India (ECI). It leans centre-left to centre-right, with some play of soft Hindutva, while its economic platform comprises heavy spending in education, health, and free schemes of water and electricity. They rose to power on an anti-corruption program in 2013 and continues to have it as its central plank.
   
3. CPI(M) – The CPI(M) (Communist Party of India (Marxist)). They commies lol. The CPI(M) is one of the larger and more mainstrean communist parties in India. Since they operate within the Indian republic's constitution they have adopted more Indian characterisrics. They are primarily against privatisation in the public sector and in favour of universal education and healthcare. Their base has traditionally been in Kerala, one of the more developed states in India in terms of income levels and HCI. they're in favour of private sector reservations and in recent years have also been pro-FDI They promise non-aligned foreign policy, but largely are very anti-US and pro-China. They promise to restore Article 370 and oppose forceful seizure of land by government. They're one of the most influential parties in India due to a strong cadre and student union ecosystem. They've had an effect on the farmers protests as well as economic positions of the INDI Alliance.
   
4. DMK - The DMK (Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam - “Dravidian Progressive Federation") is a big tent broad left-wing party that is foundationally Dravidian (primarily Tamil) Nationalist, with strong emphasis on social equity and caste issues, while being staunchly secular and atheistic, and interventionist, statist, heavily welfarist, and industrialist in economic policy. They are primarily a regional party operating in the state of Tamil Nadu, led by M.K. Stalin, the state's current Chief Minister.
   
5. RJD - The RJD (Rashtriya Janata Dal – “National People’s Party”) is a caste-based (Muslims & Yadavs) political party in the Indian state of Bihar, which it ruled from 1990 to 2005. Its rule was one of extreme lawlessness & anarchy. It was called the “Jungle Raj”. Between 1990 & 2000, Bihar's per capita income and power consumption fell off a cliff due to mismanagement. Its CM, Lalu Prasad, was convicted of corruption in 2013.
   
6. SP - The SP (Samajwadi Party – “Socialist Party”) believes in creating a socialist society that operates on the principle of equality. Although the party previously ran on an anti-computer, anti-English, and anti-machinery platform, under its new national president Akhilesh Yadav, the party has made a 180° turn. Now, the Samajwadi Party declares itself to be the party of infrastructure while maintaining its commitment to social justice, with a special focus on teaching computer skills. The party's main base is in the state of Uttar Pradesh, which is the most populated state in India, with a population of 230 million. The only negatives associated with the party are the rampant dynasticism within its ranks and its perceived soft stance on law and order issues.
   
7. JMM - The JMM (Jharkhand Mukti Morcha – “Jharkhand Liberation Front") currently runs the govt of eastern state of Jharkhand. The party has historically centred tribal rights as its central plank and agitated for a new tribal state separate from Bihar until 2000, when their demands were met. It leans centre-left to left with their key issues being tribal control of land, mineral and mining rights, addressing issues of rehabilitation of tribals. The party is primarily run by the Soren family, with Champai Soren being its chief minister candidate in the current government after the last chief minister Hemant Soren was arrested by enforcement directorate. JMM is in alliance with the Indian national congress in the state, and part of the INDIA coalition for the Lok Sabha elections. They face charges of corruption and the image of dynastic politics.
   

The “It’s Complicated”, Unaligned, Split, and/or other Supplementary Parties include:

1. TMC - The TMC or AITC (All India Trinamool Congress) is a Bengali political party ruling over the state of West Bengal since 2011. It is led by Mamata Banerjee and her nephew Abhishek Banerjee. It is a center-left, welfarist, Bengali Nationalist party. It has been criticized for using heavy-handed authoritarian tactics against opposition leaders in the state, corruption, and political violence. It is credited with ending 34 years of communist rule in the state. West Bengal under the AITC has registered subpar economic performance and is largely stagnant. Pertinent to note Mamata used to be Congress leader till 1998, and AITC, in spite of being sympathetic towards the I.N.D.I.A. alliance at the national level, is fighting the Congress-Left alliance in West Bengal on all 42 seats.
   
2. AIADMK - The AIADMK (All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam – “All India Anna Dravidian Progressive Federation") is a broad centre-left/left-wing party adhering to foundational Dravidian philosophy, while emphasizing Tamil identity. Traditionally being less ethno-nationalist than their sister opposition party the DMK, they adhere to broad welfarist left-wing populism, focusing on social justice and communal equity, while being less economically statist than the DMK. They also focus primarily on Tamil Nadu as a regional party, currently led by Edappadi Palaniswami.
   
3. Shiv Sena - The Shiv Sena (“Army of Shivaji”) was founded by Bal Thackeray in 1966 as a populist, xenophobic party, although the party gradually added Hindutva ideology to its anti non-Maharashtrian plank. It was the long time senior partner to the BJP in Maharashtra till Narendra Modi's popularity caused a change in the dynamics. After power sharing talks with the BJP failed in 2019, the Shiv Sena switched alliances to join hands with their long time rivals in Congress and NCP in an arrangement that made Bal Thackeray’s son Uddhav Thackeray the Chief Minister of Maharashtra. In 2022 again, The Majority of Shiv Sena politicians led by Eknath Shinde rebelled against the top leadership to ally again with the BJP, taking control of the party and toppling the Uddhav Thackeray government. The splinter group led by Uddhav Thackeray is called SS (UBT) and it is allied with the Congress in the INDIA Alliance.
   
4. NCP – The NCP (Nationalist Congress Party) were founded in 1998 by Sharad Pawar and a few others who left the Congress in 1998 after Sonia Gandhi was made Congress president. Despite it's formation, the NCP was a long term ally of the Congress sharing virtually the same ideology. In 2023 however, like the Shiv Sena, In a rebellion led by Sharad Pawar's nephew Ajit, a Majority of NCP politicians switched alliances to support the BJP and took control of the party. Like the Shiv Sena, the Splinter group led by Sharad Pawar and his daughter is called NCP (SP) and it's allied with the Congress in the INDIA Alliance
   
5. YSRCP - The YSRCP (Yuvjana Sramika Rythu Congress Party – “Youth, Labour, & Farmer Congress Party”) was founded by the son of an old congress Chief Minister after he was denied the role of Chief Minister after his father. It's a populist centre-of-left party with strong focus on welfare schemes and cash benefits. It's mired in controversy due to its dynastic nature, its ties to Christian Fundamentalism and American Missionaries targeting the marginalized.
   
6. BRS - The BRS (Bharatiya Rashtra Samithi – “Indian National Council”) was formed originally with a single-point agenda of creating a separate Telangana state with Hyderabad as its capital. They are largely neoliberal and are credited with rapid economic growth in Telangana.
   
7. BJD – The BJD (Biju Janata Dal – “Biju’s People’ Platform”) was formed by Naveen Pattnaik the son of the former CM of Oddisha, Biju Pattnaik. It’s a Odia regional party with a strong focus on poverty upliftment through welfare policies and equitable economic growth.
   
8. BSP - The BSP (Bahujan Samaj Party - "Majority Community Party") is a center-left party in the state of Uttar Pradesh, which was started to uplift Dalits and other marginalized communities in India by Kanshi Ram. Its current party president is Mayawati. BSP is considered as one of the biggest parties in India as per vote share, although it's currently in decline. At its height, this party had a strong base in many states across north India, but now it's only limited to the state of Uttar Pradesh, which is one of the largest states in India with a population of 230 million. There are strong suspicions of BSP working in secret with BJP, and maybe that's why the party is not fighting this election enthusiastically. Although they can still make the competition interesting on a few seats in UP.
   

OTHER KEY ISSUES -

1. Political Dynasticism:

Although dynastism is thought to be a good fix for internal chaos in a party, the current political leader of the Congress, Rahul Gandhi, is a fourth-generation dynast who has to carry the political baggage of everything which went wrong during the rule of his grandmother and great-grandfather.
Also because one family has been controlling the Congress for decades, it has caused various state-level leaders to either form their own party or join another one. They see no future in the Congress anymore because the door to leadership is always closed for them. This has destroyed the ground level cadre of Congress party in many key states.
Rahul Gandhi’s privilege combined with the lack of any real political acumen so far has led to the INC taking damage due to is infamy.
Nepotism and dynastic politics has been a key issue throughout the last 10 years as BJP positions itself as the ‘common man’s party’

1. The Ram Mandir:

A land dispute originating from the alleged destruction of a Hindu Temple, replaced by a Mosque built allegedly atop the site (the Babri Masjid) in the 16th century allegedly by Mughal Empror Babur in present day Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, the proposed birthplace of the Hindu deity Lord Ram.
Following a century of sporadic conflict, from 1853 to 1949, a revivalist movement in the 1980's would lead to rising communal tensions, culminating in the 1992 destruction of the Ram Temple by Hindu Nationalists and devotees.
The legal conflict over the land would continue until 2019, when the Supreme Court of India issued the controversial ruling that the land be handed over to government trust for the construction of a Ram Temple, with seperate land being allotted to the local Muslim community for construction of a Mosque.
Almost all elements of the dispute remain mired in controversy. From the historical and religious associations of Ayodhya with Ram, the existence of a definitively Hindu structure, the alleged deliberate destruction of the said temple, the times and events of construction and use, the participants, planning, and events of the 1992 destruction, the ASI Archeological Surveys that served as key evidence for the Supreme Court being tampered and politicised by both sides of the politcal aisle, the legality of the ruling itself, and other surrounding issues regarding justice against those alleged to have partaken in the destruction of the Babri Masjid.

1. Foreign Policy:

The BJP is campaigning on building a multi-aligned foreign policy where India is seen as the world’s friend as well as an upcoming regional power. This was at its peak during India’s G20 presidency. Many Indians claim the rise of India’s global stature is an electoral issue. This can be seen in the popularity of the government’s anti-terror operations in both Pakistan and beyond. The resurgence of an interventionist foreign policy has proven to be popular in projecting the strongman image of Modi. The country’s commitment to it’s strategic autonomy and multi-alignment have been a fixture right since Nehru.

comment dibs then PM me NO NOTES OR CHATS

I want to talk about the different domains that are in sunny's power, as well as the possible ones he could obtain in the future and share with you a little story that occurred to me.
I think, at this point, it's almost safe to assume that the winter beast has dominion over cold, ice, or winter. And we know that Sunny managed to kill her, which means that Serpent could now take on her form and powers.
With this we would have control of the cold (winter beast), water (Daeron), shadow (Sunny, although not assimilated), dreams (nightmare). Although only three will be able to be comboed at once in the future.
I also have a theory that Saint will manage to gain minor mastery over darkness. She, unlike the other shadows, follows a path more similar to that of any other human and I think it is very possible that she will obtain it in the nether realm.
So what can Sunny do with them? We know that weak domains will be of little use for sovereigns, but they still have weight at key moments, especially if they are combined.
I will tell you a story that I imagined:
Chapter???: Three domains
The ascended soldier took a heavy step in front of the towering wall of darkness, pausing only for a second to look at the awakened troops that lay under his command.
They were one of the many troops sent from the army of the king of swords. A formation of more than a dozen of the best and most powerful warriors they had at his disposal, and yet he felt apprehensive about what would come next.
"Do you tremble with fear so soon?" -A beautiful and fearsome woman spoke next to him.
The man looks at her with a frown, trying not to let his emotions cloud her judgment of her. That woman was one of the daughters of the queen of the worms. And as such, it made him angry and nervous to have to rely on his shoulder in this battle.
The man moved forward, entering the thick darkness that cut the world. Instantly, his soldiers accompanied him, without letting any emotion show on they face.
They were here to kill the shadow lord and claim dominion over him.
Light memories flared one after another, pushing away the shadows like glowing knives, but with each step, the light seemed to be consumed inch by inch. Causing his apprehension of him to become even stronger.
Then, a scream was heard from one of his flanks.
"On guard !" - With no time to contemplate, both groups took up a defensive position, trying to get a glimpse of their opponent.
"Can you detect it?" - He asked
"Nothing" - They each respond differently.
The next moment, blood shot out from a companion right next to him, splashing each of them with his blood.
He moved immediately, unleashing his aspect ability to destroy the place where his enemy must have been. But in contrast, only the rocks seemed to be affected.
"Very well, I guess this is already falling apart" Song's daughter next to him spoke in a dark voice.
But her words were not meant to mock, but rather to serve as a signal for the next phase of his plan. He had called the saints.
The group was encouraged to know this and only concentrated on their task, collecting information for the real participants in this battle. They were, at best, martiles. Disposable pieces to provide a better opportunity to their masters and that, made them feel more than satisfied.
In the few seconds that passed, four more members disappeared into the fearsome shadows. They couldn't do anything.
The seed of fear had been planted, but they soon did not care, because instantly, the powerful figure of a man stood in front of them.
"Saint Crimson" - One of the new generation saints.
"You can back off"-He spoke with an authoritative tone.
"Of course, we have located the citadel this-"-his words died in his mouth, for in the next moment, the powerful saint collapsed like a rag doll.
"Saint Crimson!" -He shouted with fear for the first time.
His group moved instantly, trying to figure out what had happened. He was n't hurt and his soul was whole, he had just... fallen asleep.
Impossible, it is simply impossible.
His thoughts of him were chaotic, but he did not have time to compose himself, as a strong wind of wind chilled his bones of him.
Instantly, snowflakes began to bury the rocks around them and the icy wind began to freeze their armor. It was cold, a cold that only those who set foot in Antarctica at that time would recognize.
“The Winter Beast” – Song's daughter murmured with a trembling.
A powerful gust of wind hit them, causing several of their members to fall. They never got up again.
"Stand aside! Protect Saint Crimson!"
Then his group ran back with all their strength, but now the small light of their lamps did not even compare to a candle. No matter when they ran, the darkness always seemed eternal. And with every step, the cold got worse.
In a moment, the winds changed causing the storm to go crazy under their struggle. He knew what was happening. It was Saint Tayris! The other saints had begun their assault.
They had to endure. A single man could not compete with the power of two clans.
But as if to silence their words, the icy wind attacked with greater force, causing everyone to fall.
The ascended tried to get up, but realized that his legs had frozen. With eyes full of madness he sought the saint under his protection. Now he was his last hope. Unfortunately, I found nothing but a corpse. Stripped of his armor long ago. As for Song's daughter, she was long gone.
He finally let herself fall into the snow, resigning herself to her fate. It was now the battlefield of the demigods.
Then, before her consciousness faded, he heard a hoarse voice speaking with a hint of amusement.
“So finally one shows up… I was wondering who was hunting them” – She was Morgan, the proud princess of Valor.
For a moment, he believed that his salvation was within his reach, but that was quickly destroyed, as heavy footsteps approached, causing both the shadows and the snow to part to allow an elegant figure to pass through. warrior of more than two meters. Wearing stone-like armor, she will stand in front of her. His crimson eyes shone with expectation.
The ascended man never managed to see what happened next, because his eyes were closed to it.
…
Sunny stood up among the remains of a house in the dark city. His back hurt from sleeping on the floor, but at least it could distract him from the bitter argument he had with Neph.
Now he had to explore the strange cathedral in the center of the city, there must be something really important there if no creature came close.
Hmm?
Suddenly, he thought he saw the figure of a horse moving through the city, but… was it his imagination?
“Well, it doesn't matter. Today is a new day… But why is it so cold?!”

In just the past few days were 3 threads concerned about reaching Lv. 99, so I did some investigating for the basic EXP formula. My findings are here, and I'll basically be copying and pasting most of it.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vf7ggaYqJFimZbrJktmUlyyNrWeAST20_4TioTQabEE/edit#gid=342046327
Edit on May 31st, 2024, 10:49 PM: Based on feedback from Thatonedataguy, corrected the level difference from -20 to +9 to -15 to +14, which corroborated the enemy levels in the wiki (Due to a misunderstanding, I thought the in-game levels were +5 compared to the wiki). Stadler's datamined mechanics were also added.
Edit on May 31st, 2024, 6:36 PM Central: Corrected the table listing the number of Rabbit Hero/Archwitch KOs to reflect how they're Lv. 28. instead of Lv. 23 due to a misunderstanding, so you need half as many kills and anyone Lv. 20 or lower is viable.

Player's Level Difference	Base EXP	Player's Level Difference	Base EXP
-15	10,000	0	200
-14	9,700	+1	160
-13	9,300	+2	120
-12	9,000	+3	90
-11	8,500	+4	70
-10	8,000	+5	50
-9	7,500	+6	30
-8	6,900	+7	20
-7	6,000	+8	15
-6	5,100	+9	10
-5	3,900	+10	7
-4	2,600	+11	5
-3	1,600	+12	3
-2	900	+13	2
-1	400	+14	1

1. Every level requires 1,000 EXP. Attendants (and I think party members on Guild Missions) do not earn EXP.
2. Enemies grant a base EXP value on an individual basis that is influenced by the level difference between them. The maximum underleveled bonus is if the character is 15 levels under, while the maximum overleveled penalty is if the character is 14 levels over. Enemy levels are hidden, the Eiyuden wiki doesn't have all of them, but you can figure it out for yourself with the above table.
3. Enemy quantity multiplies the amount of base EXP you get. If you are post-game EXP grinding, you want to reroll Mysterious Room for bosses that have fights with 6 enemies: Nerthus, Kogen, Pagurian, Surkkamui, Elder Dragon, Kraken, Prometheus, Narungarde, both phases of Alde Dracare.
4. Player party size divides the amount of base EXP by the number of alive participants. So assuming they're all the same level, if you're earning 6000 EXP, a solo composition will earn all 6000, a duo composition will earn 3000 each, a trio 2000 each, etc. So if trying to boost your characters to Lv. 99, use smaller party sizes. Lv. 99 characters will still force the EXP split, wasting EXP, but you can use them to grind 1 or 2 lower level characters easily.
5. There are 3 ways to boost your entire party's individual EXP gain: Abandoned Mine's Growth Badge (+20%), Yulin in your Support slot (+100%), and Gardhaven Castle's Ascent Badge (+100%). The characters with these accessories equipped need to be alive for the EXP bonus to apply. There was a party auto equip duplication exploit to make multiple copies of these, Switch players (Ver. 1.0.4 or lower) can still take advantage of this before the early June update. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swqPVF7tBxc I won't be factoring this in below since it's been patched on every other platform (check the above spreadsheet and scroll to the bottom of the EXP tab for those details), but it does give you more leeway with party size and enemy quantity.
6. Stadler's Drill Ground will seemingly give your reserve party members 50% of the EXP Nowa would get, and is capped at Nowa's level. So if Nowa is Lv. 60, your benched party members can't go any higher than Lv. 60 and 1 Next EXP (999/1000 EXP). To abuse the underleveled EXP bonus, it is beneficial to bench Nowa outside certain scenarios: Lv. 32 for Riufan's recruitment, Lv. 36 for Aire's recruitment (135 SPD), Lv. 37 for Quinn's recruitment, and duels against El Alicanto and the final boss. If you were to instead use Nowa regularly like I did, then your reserve party will barely earn any EXP.

There are 3 primary methods to get to Lv. 99 easily.
[ !!! ] The first one is as early as The Greatwood - East - Depths. If singled out, the Rabbit Bear enemy (Lv. 22) will infinitely spawn Rabbit Hero/Archwitches (Lv. 28), so characters Lv. 20 or lower can kill up to 50 of them. You will have the Growth Badge by this point, while changing your auto battle settings to Defend will make it go by quicker.

Anything after Lv. 23 basically takes too many KOs (100+).
[ !!! ] The second best location is HQ Lv. 3's Mysterious Room, Hero's Trial Ground Normal Mode. It's a boss rush that has 2 grunt encounters before each boss. 1F ~ 5F enemies are considered Lv. 60. I'm not sure about the other 20 floors, but I assume it's Lv. +5 for every 5 floors (60 > 65 > 70 > 75 > 80). For bosses with 6 enemies,

• 1F ~ 5F = Nerthus, Kogen (Ancient Seed drops Rune of the Warrior's Pinnacle, Astraea the Judge drops Rune of the Mage's Pinnacle)
• 6F ~ 10F = Pagurian, Surkkamui (Maiden-Revenant on 11F ~ 15F drops Rune of MP+)
• 16F ~ 20F = Elder Dragon, Kraken
• 21F ~ 25F = Prometheus (drops both Rune of Tremendous Power and Rune of Arcane Magic), Narungarde, both versions of Alde Dracare

With just the Growth Badge against Kogen's 6 enemies, a Lv. 52 character or lower can solo to Lv. 99. At best, a Lv. 45 duo can gain 10,000 Base EXP x 6 enemies / 2 party members * 1.2 via Growth Badge = +36,000 EXP each to get to Lv. 81, so grinding right now isn't optimal.
After Yulin joins the party (2.2x EXP), a Lv. 55 character can solo to Lv. 99. Lv. 51s can duo to Lv. 99.
When you enter the final dungeon for the Ascent Badge (3.2x, make sure to leave by talking to Carrie so Gardhaven Castle is registered on your teleport list, as some people were softlocked from returning), a Lv. 56 can solo to Lv. 99. Lv. 54s can duo to Lv. 99. Lv. 51s can trio to Lv. 99. Although if you're entering the final dungeon, you'll probably be Lv. 60 by the end of it. Not to worry though.
[ !!! ] The third and final best location is Mysterious Room/Hero's Trial Ground Endless Mode. You might need to beat the game to even access 21F ~ 25F of Normal Mode, while Endless Mode is unlocked after clearing all 26 floors of Normal Mode, Be sure to bench Nowa as soon as you enter post-game, and your main team will probably be Lv. 80 ~ 85 by the end of Normal Mode. Enemies in Endless Mode are considered Lv. 90, so you can use the underlevel bonus to shoot to Lv. 99.
Against 6 enemies with the Growth Badge, Yulin, and Ascent Badge, a Lv. 88 character can solo to Lv. 99. Lv. 87s can duo to Lv. 99. Lv. 86s can trio to Lv. 99. Lv. 85s can quartet/quintet to Lv. 99, and Lv. 84s can sextet to Lv. 99.
[ !!! ] Personally, I decided to level everyone but Nowa in different parties, saving him for last to guarantee my mileage off the underlevel bonus. If your reserve party members are all a certain level, you can get all of them to simultaneously reach Lv. 99 with Nowa if he wins a Mysterious Room fight with the Ascent Badge while 15 levels under (Lv. 45 for Normal Mode 1F ~ 5F, Lv. 75 for Endless Mode) either solo or in a duo with Leene/Momo.

# Enemies	Solo EXP	Drill Ground	Reserve	Duo EXP	Drill Ground	Reserve
1	30,000	15,000	Lv. 84	16,000	8,000	Lv. 91
2	60,000	30,000	Lv. 69	32,000	16,000	Lv. 83
3	90,000	45,000	Lv. 54	48,000	24,000	Lv. 75
4	120,000	60,000	Lv. 39	64,000	32,000	Lv. 67
5	150,000	75,000	Lv. 24	80,000	40,000	Lv. 59
6	180,000	90,000	Lv. 9	96,000	48,000	Lv. 51

[ !!! ] If you leveled your character to Lv. 88 ~ 98 accidentally, then all you need to do is keep soloing or duoing 6 grunt enemies in Endless Mode. Momo or Leene have strong AoEs to make quick work of these encounters.

Franky is a cool guy, so naturally he is powered by cola, right? Similarly, everyone else is high on their own supply. Everyone thinks that they are the hot stuff, and have their own "cola". They think their abilities, beliefs, or whatever they have is the right stuff, that will get them trough every situation and hardship. Similarly how Franky's personality is in the cola (the cola is chosen as his power supply because his personality), so are the other guys abilities extensions of their personality. While Franky literally powers himself trough his cola, and can use it to give Sunny some boost, the other guys drink their kool aid all the same.
​
For example, Zoro's swords are the extension of personality. His skill as a warrior is depended on his sword mastery and weapons. If he would encounter some other sword master from a school that teaches better swordmanship, or that has better swords than him, he could lose against him.
But that is not really true. Those things are just his "cola", something he drinks up and makes him stronger, something that are extension of his personality. They make him stronger not because his school of swordmanship is truly superior, he is stronger the same way Franky gets stronger when he stuffs his cyborg fridge full of cola. Because it fits him.
​

Humans, giants - maybe other races formed on the earth. There was no redline, and the ocean was at a much lower level than it is now and one single ‘all blue’. Cultures and kingdoms - like the Alabasta kingdom formed.
Similarly- the Lunarians formed on the moon. Because of their resource scarcity - they developed technologically much faster than the people of earth. They were missing farmable soil - so they hatched a plan to colonize the earth.
They Lunarians built three ancient weapons, to manipulate the sea,earth and sky- and used an eternal flame - an infinite power source based off of their own flames- to power them.
The Lunarians used their mastery of manipulating linage factors to create new races on the earth - they mixed humans with animals to create minks and fishmen - they may have manipulated growth like ceaser clown to create ancient giants. They may have also created long arm / long leg and other races. They planted the spark of Poseidon in the linage factor of the royalty of the Merfolk. They created gigantic immortal sea kings and island whales by manipulating oceanlife.
The Lunarians used the ancient weapons to enslave the world and create the redline as a moon-like place for them to be comfortable living on. (That’s why the redline is built from many different climates strung together). They ruled over the earth the way the celestial dragons do now- eventually becoming fat, stupid, greedy and obsessed with trying to milk pleasure out of their boring lives.
Some point during enslavement the giants of Elbaf created the myth of Nika, a warrior god of freedom and the sun that they believed may one day rescue them.
The structure of the redline, grandline and sea kings were designed to keep the peoples of the world separated from each other.
This was the status quo for quite some time. Bored Lunarians created their greatest invention yet. The sunlight tree eve - it could read dreams and create fruits that manipulate lineage factors to make their wishes come true- only intended for the Gods of the redline to consume of course.
A young half giant half human slave (eventually titled Joyboy) dreamed of becoming the God Nika and saving his enslaved fiends. By some twist of fate he actually managed to consume the fruit that his dream spawned.
He escaped and saved several factions of people from enslavement. They all took on his symbol, a sun (Amazon Lilly, Alabasta, Wano, Shandora, fishman island just to name a few). The current Poseidon was on their side and they worked together to overthrow the Lunarians and freed the world- Joyboy didn’t want to be a ‘king’ but he was so loved he was proclaimed as one anyways. This coalition is what is known as the ancient kingdom and its formation marks to beginning of the ‘void century’. The ancient Kingdom’s name starts with D and may be named after Joyboy’s birth name (Dreamland, Davy, Daedalus, Dionysus?). The reason I think this is that when Oden wrote Roger’s name in Skypia the ‘D’ is the Egyptian symbol of the sun.
A good portion of the world wanted to destroy the ancient weapons but Joyboy wanted to keep them to one day destroy the redline and put the world back together without borders (back in ‘one piece’). He couldn’t do it yet because fishman island was directly under the redline. He promised Posideon that fishmen could all live on the surface when their home was destroyed- and he commissioned building the great Noah to get them out safely.
This plan is unpopular because the world is scared of the ancient weapons but they agree because they trust Joyboy.
I’m not sure what Imu is. A demon, a shapeshifter, a remaining Lunarian with a switched body? Let me know if you have a good answer but he’s a trickster of some sort posing as a human.
Imu becomes a king of a kingdom within the Ancient kingdom. He finds a way to steal the ancient weapon Uranus and starts destroying inhabited human cities and flooding the world. He blames the ancient kingdom and incites xenophobia - claiming that humans need to rise up and overthrow the ancient kingdom. A coalition of twenty kingdoms forms and they fight a bloody civil war (like in the Alabasta arc- crocodile steals ‘rain’, blames it on the king and incites a civil war to take power).
Imu also falls in love with the monarch of the Alabasta kingdom - Lili.
They fight a long and bloody war, the twenty kingdoms end up winning because Joyboy refuses to use Pluton or Poseidon as weapons. Imu’s use of Uranus dramatically floods the world.
Joyboy asks his close friend from the Wano kingdom (Ryuma?) to hide Pluton for him , they use (pluton?) to build a redline like structure around Wano to protect it from the encroaching sea. He also asks Poseidon to keep the identity of the ancient weapon secret from Imu.
Joyboy got the Kozuki clan to write letters to places all around the world on the only material that Uranus couldn’t destroy. He put bits and pieces around the world saying where the ancient weapons were- and the history of the world.
He hid his greatest treasure inside of an island whale roaming the oceans. The eternal flame to power the ancient weapons, and the plan to destroy the redline. He put instructions on how to find the whale on red poneglyphs given to his closest allies (Elbaf giants, Minks/Zunesha, Wano and fishman island).
Because she was close to Imu, Lily discovered that Imu was the one who used Uranus. She declines joining him in the new capital built around the sunlight tree- and helps those loyal to Joyboy spread the poneglyphs around the world.
A lot of the people still loyal to Joyboy changed their middle name to ‘D’ when he died, as a symbol of their continued resistance against the Gods of Marijoa.
History gets erased- through devil fruit magic (remember sugar and pudding show powers that can erase memories on a smaller scale and often mythical zoans have powers related to known Paramecia/Logias) or just flooding and oppression and the void century ends.

Blaze 3: Demonic Arc 4: Spirit World²
Last time the Impersonators made their statements felt. They took Spyro's OC Garner Shinkranani. How will they retaliate plus the Defense/Guard Team is shown. Find out what happens now. Cap Cakashiro Nanoa(Etatsu’s older brother) is shown. His team wears blue/called blue team. Team: Hisoni Cokoru(1st Lt/male), Lilitia(lil-lee-she -ah) Lione(lee-oh-neh)(2nd Lt), Shen Anima(OC), Jeem Katsuchki(kaht-sooch-key)(WO/female), Shunsuke(shune-skeh) Yuora(you-or-ah)(Sgt) and Ayame Katsuro(Cpl). Cakashiro has blonde hair, goatee and red eyes. Laid back character. Wears a hat blade just like Kung Lao. Kung Lao is my my favorite Mortal Kombat character. He had a cool hat concept. Nobody else uses this concept so I did. Hinge #27: Utowa. His hat is his weapon/can convert into blade form. Looks like a straw hat but isn't.
Wife is a regular civilian. Wife: Elena Botsuro Nanoa. Child: Chozuro. Age 4. Styles: Crane and Mantis. Very high IQ. He can draw these weird monsterous hands from his palms-Lend Me A Hand. Can use in different ways. In charge of the Labor Unit. People with regular jobs. Hisoni has green hair and sideburns. Hinge #49: Atticus/Rebirth. Big boomerang. Lilitia's hair is yellow. Hinge #35: Oracle. Trisula blades. Shen's hair is white. Hinge #33: Pallas. Axe. Jeem's hair is white. Hinge #59: Hades' Claws. Claw weapons. Can summon souls. Shunsuke's hair is light brown. Hinge #30: Pan. Nunchaku. Ayame's Hair is beige. Hinge #60: Tartarus. Cakashiro is in his office. A Subordinate comes in. She has a blue ninja like mask but has yellow hair slightly sticking out. She has some paper in her hands.
She says” I filed those paperwork you asked.” Cakashiro says in a nonchalant way” That's good.” She says” Are you okay? You don't seem like yourself. Are you alright?” Cakashiro throws on a smile and say" I'm fine. Don't worry about me.” She says” Okay. If you say so.” She leaves. Cakashiro has a very serious look. Cakashiro” I got this bad feeling that something is going to happen with Godowa. Maybe I shouldn't think like that.” Hisoni barges in. Hisoni” Sir! We have a problem.” Cakashiro” What is it?” Hisoni” Our supplies are gone.” Cakashiro ” I just sent somebody not that long ago. I'm going.” Cakashio and Hisoni make it to the spot. Cakashiro ” It's empty. How very odd. Maybe the Supplier was killed. There's gotta be a reason?” They look around.
Hisoni” Hey sir, get a load of this. There seems to be a weak spot in the wall.” He breaks it. Hisoni” You're not going to believe this. There's some illegal drugs smuggled here.” Cakashiro ” That looks familiar. Yes. It's the same one from a couple months back. But why would they leave it here. Barely tried to hide it.” Hisoni” This could be a part of their ploy. Nobody just leaves illegal goods in an easy sight.” Cakashiro's ” They could be baiting us in. We'll never get it right now.” Jeem runs into the same problem. Jeem" Somebody broke into my house and their going to pay. Nothing is missing.” She walks around. There's someone hiding. He runs into Jeem but she doesn't see. Guy" That was a close one.” Face isn't shown. In the dark/blurry. He ends up escaping.
The same problem happens elsewhere/same complaints. Cakashiro and Hisoni are still together. A creature is shown waiting. He jumps from above. Creature” I haven't gotten myself a good meal of the day. I'm pretty hungry. I have to eat something so I guess I'll eat you then. I guess I'll choose….” Hisoni is going to fight but Cakashiro insist he'll go. He has his back turned away from the creature. He throws his hat away from the creature. Creature” Are you stupid!?” Cakashiro is still in position when he threw the hat. His hat appears from behind and cuts the creatures head off. He catches his hat while standing in the same position. His puts his hat back on.
Cakashiro ” Look over there.” People are wearing distinguishable hoods.” Hisoni" Why are they staring at us like that?” Cakashiro” No clue. They're coming this way.” Cakashiro and Hisoni prepare to fight. They are easily outmatched(hooded warriors). Hisoni” This is getting very weird sir.” Cakashiro ” Indeed. We best report this back to Alpha right away.” Jeem is shown going back to her home. She walks in calm and carefully. Jeem” Everything seems in check. Is it me or does that picture look extra creepy. As a matter of fact, it's moving!” The lights are flashing red. The picture slowly comes from the frame. A shrieking sound was made after red lights. Jeem” What the fuck is this? This is a load of bullshit.” The picture is walking slow. Getting closer.
Jeem tries to fight but can't move her body. Jeem" This is bad!” Jeem wakes up and says” It was only a dream.” She hears a familiar voice calling her name. Voice” Jeem help! I'm over here.” Jeem" Don't worry I'm coming.” She gets closer. He has his back turned. Jeem" Is that you Rey?” He turns around very slowly and says" Jeem it's me! Cousin Reygo!” He doesn't have a face. Jeem screams to the top of her lungs. She wakes up foreal this time. She reports back to Alpha Team. Cakashiro and Hisoni are already there. God Spyro is holding a meeting. Meetings are in different locations. Everyone is there(Guardians). No Subordinates. Sometimes meetings will have just Spyro, Cakashiro and Alpha Team. Or just Spyro, Cakashiro and a member from Alpha Team.
During this meeting, God Spyro is in the center while the others are sitting around him. Not in a circle but half of one. There's lots of space. God Spyro” I've gathered you all here because of the issues we've been having in Godowa. Now grandson, tell us your problem.” Spyro” Yes grandfather. We've been dealing with a thief or thieves. A couple of things have gone missing. They even got to one of our banks. This strange thing has been happening with the people. They've been acting out of character. Rallying up everybody and fighting. Garner has gone missing. It's got to be the working of the same person.” God Spyro” They've got your Officer Cadet. It's unheard-of.” Spyro” Right now nothing is death threat level but I believe it'll get there. We can't let it happen.”
God Spyro” I see your point. Cakashiro what is your complaint?” Cakashiro" Our issues are a little different. We've been facing some weird opponents.” God Spyro” Describe these opponents.” Cakashiro ” It was these people with black, purple and red hoods on. Their hoods were zipped up so you couldn't see their faces. They had white swirls on them. They weren't even that strong. Went out down very easily.” Yukio” Wait just a minute. I recognize those. They are from the museum. They are called the Fiend Fraternity(clan).” God Spyro” What? Fiend Fraternity. We have to make sure they are still in the museum right away. Is there anything else before we close this meeting?”
Jeem” I have something to say. There was this picture on my wall. It became real and tried to attack me. As it was coming from the frame, the lights were flashing red and I heard a shrieking sound. It was like a bizarre nightmare. It came closer to me but I couldn't move. I then woked up. It doesn't end there. I heard my cousin's Reygo calling me. His back was turned so I turned him around but he was faceless. I eventually woked up foreal. It freaked me out. We got to get to the bottom of this.” King Spiro” Indeed. A portrait that can come alive. What are we dealing with? What are we up against? Time to press on.” Meeting is over. The Guardians are all traveling to the museum. After getting there, the Fiend Fraternity is missing.
Akahiro” What power is able to do this?” God Spyro” So they can take any non living things and make them reality. A very interesting choice of power. Now it's time to get to work.” Next day. A scene shows the man behind it at. His name is Sebastian. Origin: Latin to Greek. Meaning: Person from ancient city of Sebastia. Sebastian” This world is mine for the taking. All I need is a few more things then I'll be set. I guess I have to blend in with these people first.” He's writing his plans on a paper. A special paper that hides his writing and becomes cryptic(writing). He takes out the Reality Juju/Juju of Reality and uses it on skeletons. It burrows underground. Spyro is going over to Cakashiro's area.
Cakashiro” look what the cat dragged in. Why are you here?” Spyro” Just to see if you have what it takes so let's do it then.” Cakashiro” Oh I see you want to spar. You know I can't turn down a challenge." During the fight, Cakashiro is able to block his punches and kicks with ease. Cakashiro is stronger than Spyro. Battle over. Next scene. Lilitia and Shen are currently on a mission together. Udergroumd cavern. Lilitia” This place isn't stable to lasting that long. We have to hurry.” Shen” Whatever you say. The ground has started shaking.” I'm coming over.” She touches the ground and says" I don't feel anything." Shen" That's very odd.” They continue. Lilitia” There's the plaque. Right there.
There's a weird sound coming that direction(she points). No over there. I can barely hear it” The lights turn red and are flashing. The skeletons slowly emerges from the ground and grabs them under. They are now at a random spot. Shen” Where are we? Lilitia. Lilitia where are you(he looks around)?” He sees Lilitia in the shadows. Shen" Oh there you are. I was worrying for a second. Now we have to find our way out of here.” She emerges from the shadows. She's walking very slowly. Shen” You don't seem like yourself." Lilitia” What makes you think that?” She charges and punches him but he blocks it. Shen" What are you trying to do, kill me?” Lilitia” As a matter of fact I am. So you better prepare.” Shen" She is trying to fight me. No kill me but why?
What is this? I can't move.” Lilitia” You're dead.” She summons her Hinge and tries to cut Shen but wakes up. No screaming. Lilitia” Wake up! Sleeping on the job are you?” Shen” Huh. What's going on here? Never mind. Let's keep going. Wait. Did you have this strange dream?” Lilitia” Explain yourself.” Shen” Well you tried to fight me.” Lilitia” Now that was some dream.” Next scene. The real Lilitia is by herself. Lilitia” The lights are finally back on. Where's Shen?” I guess it's time to check." A piano sound is heard. Lilitia” Where'd that sound come from?” laughter is heard. Lilitia” This is getting very odd.” Creatures appear and she takes them out. Another enemy appears from above and Is stalking her. He comes out and surprises her but Shen appears and saves her.
Lilitia” It's good to see you.” Shen” Same here. Now that we're back together, it's time to get the plaque.” Lilitia” Right.” Shen summons his Hinge. Lilitia” What's that for, practicing?” Shen” Oh no. This isn't for practicing.” Lilitia” What are you doing? Uh oh. I can't move.” Shen” That's to bad.” He charges at her. She wakes up just like Shen. Lilitia” That was a crazy dream. I'm Separated from Shen again. Where could he be? I've got to make sure he's real." Shen” I finally found you. We've been held back from the mission for far too long. Lilitia” How do I know you're real?” Shen” Of course I'm real. Why wouldn't I be?” Lilitia” Earlier you tried to kill me but I ended up waking up and I don't trust this.” Shen" So you don't trust me? I don't blame you.”
A few minutes later. Shen and Lilitia are talking but Shen has frozen still. Lilitia” Shen. Shen are you OK? He's not moving. What's going here?” She walks around a bit and realizes that everything else is also frozen still. Next scene. Shen is experiencing the same thing. Lilitia's body turns into dust and everything is tearing apart. Shen” What the hell? It's coming down! I got to get out of here!” A split screen shows both Shen and Lilitia trying to escape. They both make it and run into each other. Shen" Is that you? I saw you turn into dust.” Lilitia” The same here.” They continue and up ahead is a light. They head towards it. Everything is back to normal again. Shen” What was that back there? It was all bizarre.”
Lilitia” You're telling me. We have to stop this from happening. It's getting really irritating.” Mission failed. Sebastian is shown watching. Sebastian” I'm going to make their lives a living nightmare.” He laughs. Next scene. Shunsuke and Ayame are currently on a mission as well. Shunsuke" Look out Ayame! Behind you!” Ayame” Thanks for the look out. It's an ambush! They keep coming.” They are fighting monsters. Shunsuke” We can't take em all." Shunsuke puts the key back but it breaks. Shunsuke” Dammit! It broke.” The enemies are starting to slow down. Suddenly, the ground moves and is now real. Ayame” Look at that. It became real.” Shunsuke gets grabbed by a shadow from behind. They take advantage of him.
Shunsuke summons chimeras(lion, goat and serpent). His specialty. With his Hinge. Nature power. He summons other hybrid animals. Wolfdog, Beefalo(cow and Buffalo), Leopon(male leopard and lioness), Jackalope(jackrabbit and deer) and other things. Ayame summons her Hinge. An axe and hammer combined. Double sided weapon. Isn't heavy nor tall. Has spikes on weapon. She uses her weapon's specialty. Tartarus appears and attack. The ground freezes(ice)and then digitalizes. They are frozen and everything becomes digital. They are taken to a different world. Ayame” This world is digital.” Shunsuke” Wow this is amazing. We're really in a different world. We have to find our way out of here.”
They observe the area. This place is really big. Digital monsters appear. They try to summon their Hinges but can't and Spirit Cannon aren't working. Shunsuke” This can't be. We have to fight them the old fashioned way.” It doesn't work. They keep regenerating. Ayame” It's not doing anything. We're only wasting our time. The area has a wavy effect. Area changes. Looks like a classic Spirit World. Ayame” It seems the area can alter.” Shunsuke” Judging from the looks of it, we must be in the Spirit World. In the past. So this is how it was.” Pegasuses appears. Ayame” Are those real Pegasuses? There aren't any Pegasuses anymore. It's cool to see one.” They both begin to see a mysterious fog.
Shunsuke” What's going on?” Everything is getting blurry(talking slowly). Getting….ve..ry….tired.” He passes out. He's sleeping. Ayame” He just passed out! Must be this fog.” Her eyes are getting heavy and passes out as well. They wake up and are in different areas. Ayame is shown. A water leak occurs. Ayame” Oh a water spill. It's filling up fast.” Shunsuke wakes up and is tied up. Shunsuke" I'm trapped! I can't move! Is this the end ? There's water flooding the area. That's not good.” As time passes, water has flooded the whole area. How will they escape? Find out what happens next time on Part³. “To Be Continued"

Likely due to my brain and fingers getting a smidge stagnate on not doing much action heavy games this past month, but im trying to figure what i need to `fix up` to optimize my lazy man setup i was doing between my current main and the 3 sub units builds i was running. Plus with the introduction of Warpath PLUS and level 20 wright stones, units like Twen can obtain 100% crit chance with over mastery and a crit wrightstone only, plus Berserker Echo can be used to consolidate further space in build design.
So my request is for any suggestions to `improve` my PRE-Visions boss fight build for Twen:
For Twen i currently have:
+Supplementary Bow with lvl 20 crit, level 15 stun power, level 10 blight resist wrightstone
+Crabvestment returns (filler in thanks to Berserker Echo, mostly to Ofset Tyranny)
+Potent Greens + Supplementary damage V (free sigil so its a easy 72% supplementary proc on top of berserker echo). +Tyranny V+ Attack (to achieve 24k~ attack for near guranteed berserk echo)
+Damage Cap V x4 + Imp Dodge, Potion Hoard, Guts, Auto revive
+War Elemental
+Berserker Echo (100% supplementary damage on a single sigil at 25k atk, why not?)
+Dark huntress volley + Nimble onslaught
+Two Crown Boudnry + Regen
+Dark Huntress Warpath (im still working on rerolls to get a + version for this).
As a reminder, I am trying to rebuild this build for a more comfy ability to finally clear Final Visions Offline. My CPU units are somewhat similar`ish builds but lack Terminus weapons to actually enjoy the STONKS damage, but im running Rackham, Perceival and Cagliostro so feel free to suggest better CPU allies, since my brain is a smidge too mush to remember the best ones with the least complicated build work needed to be done. Im thinking Siegfried, but it does not really help i am unaware if you can just make someone like Siegie have near 100% up time for that damage cut 50% party buff.
