Welcome to the Twine adaptation of the Abyss Diver CYOA! (Adapted with love by FloricSpacer) Thanks to all the people the assisted with the development of this game in some way. [[Credits]] Note that this is a very complex CYOA-based game and there have been a number of difficulties in adapting it from its original form. I do not plan to implement every possible combination of relics (though if you have an idea, please send it to me and it can likely be added), so instead I will leave open the ability to adjust your stats if you believe you have an advantage of some sort that isn't accounted for by the game already. The stat adjustment function in the Stats menu can give you more dubloons, corruption, or time if you believe something was miscalculated or not accounted for properly. Do not use this function to edit your stats without having a well thought out justification for the change! Additionally, you will sometimes be given an open-ended option to use a combination of relics to bypass an obstacle in your path. This is meant to allow for creative solutions that I didn't specifically code into the game (though I did code some of them). This may not come up much in the early floors, but in the later floors it will become ery difficult to deal with threats without creative combinations of relics I can't explicitly account for. Use this option only if you have a plan you believe would deal with the threat effectively that isn't already listed as an option on the page! If you have any feedback about the general layout/setup of the game or experience any bugs, please let me know, I'm always looking for feedback and ways to improve the experience of playing the game!

I'm sure you are; just about everyone who visits Outset Town dives down to explore it sooner or later. Our town is built around the outer edge of the Abyss, an enormous hole in the earth. Nobody can even begin to guess how deep it is. It goes at least several kilometers down, but nobody is known to have ever reached the bottom or even gotten close, so it could be much deeper. Of course, the biggest draw bringing so many explorers to challenge its depths is the Relics, mysterious tools with abilities that can't be explained by modern science. Many of these Relics have extremely useful or powerful magical effects, so while the risk is great, it can be well worth the effort for all the divers who venture into the Abyss after them. While traveling down into the pit is fraught with danger in the form of beasts, traps, and unforgiving environments, it's getting back up to the surface that usually poses the greatest problem. A near- omnipresent Miasma pervades the Abyss, getting thicker and more potent the further down you go, and being especially concentrated around ancient and powerful Relics. Ascending to the surface through the layers of Miasma leads to divers being afflicted with Curses transformative effects than can slowly change or corrupt the body and mind. The more you explore the Abyss, the deeper you trek, the more Relics you take...the more the person you were before slips away. Some divers are completely unrecognizable when they emerge, and more than a few don't emerge at all defeated by the Abyss, consumed by greed, fearful of the effects of ascent, or sometimes simply discovering that they prefer life down there. Because Curses can often have substantial effects on the minds and behavior of divers, there are very few accurate reports and little information available about the Abyss past the first couple of layers. Most of it is an unknown, unexplored frontier. Just remember to make sure you can live with the decisions you make down there divers that have surfaced from particularly deep dives with many Curses generally seem happy with their life, but frequently have troubles reintegrating into society on account of the changes in their appearance and behavior. There's nothing wrong with deciding you've hit your limit and choosing to end your adventure early…just be sure that you make that decision while you're still you. Come with me, and I'll help you find some companions to help you on your journey! [[Learn about the Companions|Surface 2]]

Important Rules! •No peeking! Moving between is pages is not a free action in this CYOA! It almost always comes with a cost - in time, corruption, or both - which must be paid every time you wish to move forward or backward a page. You may look back on previous pages for the sole purpose of confirming what was on them, but you cannot select any options without paying the price and actually moving your character back to that page. Looking ahead to pages you haven't seen is completely forbidden. •If you peek on accident, I'll fine you 50 corruption points each time, so don't! I'll also have to reduce your corruption points by 50 after you enter the Abyss if this isn't your first time playing... sorry! That's the price of all that sweet Abyssal knowledge. Trust me, it makes a huge difference. You can think of it as "Hard Mode New Game+." •If you peek on purpose, I'll slather you in tentacle beast pheremones and tie in you up somewhere in the Abyss where nobody will ever hear your screams. Remember to save! The CYOA is just dense enough that some may even wish to tackle it in multiple sessions, especially those who are interested in creating their "perfect build" and reading into the minutiae of every option. For everyone else, feel free to a skim a bit if it's overwhelming! Background Music In the interactive version of this CYOA the background music play automatically according to the environment you find yourself in. There's a good chance you could be reading this and making choices for quite some time. Might as well pull up the NQOST (not-quite-original soundtrack) for it and get comfy, right? Now, if you are over 18 and are prepared to descend into the abyss, please continue. [[Arrive at Outset Town|Start 3]] (Normal difficulty, reccomended game mode for first time players.) [[Hard Mode|Start 3][$corruption = -50]] (For returning players who already have knowledge of the Abyss, gives -50 starting corruption points to balance the player's advanced starting knowledge. Reccomended for players who are already familiar with the game.) [[Easy Mode|Start 3][$items[0].count += 14, $items[1].count += 14, $compTok = 1]] (This allows you to start with 2 weeks of food and water for free, along with a token that allows you to hire a companion for free 1 time. This is not the reccomended mode of play due to removing some of the pressure of exploration early on, but there is no content lost for this mode.)

[img[setup.ImagePath+'icon.png']] You can hire some companions to come with you for your dive! They're all heavily screened, loyal, and drawn to work here by a shared lust for adventure and discovery. They will obey any commands directly related to helping you explore the Abyss, but they'll generally put their safety first in times of extreme danger - they're partners, not slaves, and they may even choose to leave you if you treat them exceptionally poorly. There's nothing stopping you from trying to forge a deeper relationship with them if you like, though. I have it on good authority that you could have a chance with any of them romantically, regardless of gender. Or you could just make some lifelong friends! They follow the same rules as you, so unless you buy supplies for them, they're going in with just the clothes on their backs and their rucksack sleeping bags. Also, all of them are injected with a lethal, dormant poison that activates on contact with human stomach acid, to prevent cannibalism. You'd be surprised by how much of an issue it used to be! Also, you should probably know about The Purity Gene. The "purity gene" (scientifically, PUR69E) is a unique insertion mutation rarely observed in infants born near the Abyss, here in Outset Town. This mutation confers on its bearer an immunity to the effects of Miasma, preventing them from being corrupted during their ascent, or from being locked out of the Abyss after they leave it and spend a few days on the surface. Furthermore, it even allows their bodies to use Miasma as a source of nutrition and maintain many bodily functions, so they need no food or water while in the Abyss. Being so heavily connected with the Abyss has drawbacks, however - it confers on them problems completely opposite to those of normal divers. While they can ascend through the Abyss just fine, descending through the Abyss (even through early layers) quickly causes them to lose their memory and sense of self, and invariably causes them to abandon their life on the surface and live as a beast of the Abyss, in mind if not in body. This effect is prevented if a human without the "purity gene' accompanies them while they descend. A strong, impassable repelling force also prevents them from picking up Relics that haven't yet been claimed by another diver, so they can't split up to find Relics faster or bypass their corruption costs. As they require other divers to be with them to effectively explore the Abyss, the general consensus S that they are better suited as companions to other divers, rather than solo divers themselves - and those with the "purity gene" have been strictly prohibited from traveling into the Abyss alone. In short: they're not corrupted by the Abyss, and don't need food or water, but are only effective and useful at exploring the Abyss when they're traveling with someone else who doesn't have the gene. All of the companions available for hire here have the "purity gene.' I'll show you around the shop then you can come back and get any companions you wanted to hire. [[Check out the shop|Surface 3]]

<<set $dubloons = 300>> [img[setup.ImagePath+'icon.png']] If you're going to be spending days, weeks, or months adventuring in a dangerous, monster-filled pit, you need to get some supplies first! Here's your stipend of 300 dubloons to get you started. We'll also supply you with a very large and a durable rucksack that should be big enough for just about anything you'll need to carry on your journey. It doubles as a thermal sleeping bag, too! You can find valuable Relics while you're down in the Abyss, and if you like, you can sell them here and obtain additional dubloons to fund your expedition. This does require you to go through the Miasma multiple times and become more corrupted, so weigh your options carefully first. Relics change hands quickly after being sold, so you won't be able to get them back later if you get seller's remorse. Even if you're short on dubloons, I strongly recommend against any kind of thievery! This town's whole economy was built on Relics, so the businesses around here have had plenty of time to learn how to deal with people who would try to steal wares, sell forgeries, and cheat them out of coin. Many would-be criminals have come up here with the "perfect" combination of Relics for robbery, only to swiftly be brought to justice by the people of here with Relics of their own. It's not worth the risk. The weight of everything for sale is provided in kilograms. I'm not here to push any kind of arbitrary weight limit on you that's something you need to decide. How much do you think you can sustainably carry a on a long, perilous adventure down into the depths? Remember, "the ability to lift something" and "the ability to carry it with you for the better part of your waking hours for days, weeks, or months" are two very different feats. (For reference, an average adult human will feel moderate discomfort carrying around 20kg for a long time.) (We have amazing healthcare here in Outset Town and can provide you with free state-of-the-art surgery to cure any physical disabilities, and/or a few weeks a at our gym, to bring you to average human levels. I strongly believe that anyone can be a diver, if they put their heart into it.) Apart from the things you buy here and the clothes on your back, we can't let you bring anything else into the Abyss. Most tools made from outside materials quickly decay and become useless when brought into the Abyss, anyways. [[Learn more about the surface and habitation|Surface 4]]

<<set $totalCarry = parseInt($carryWeight)>><<set $carryWeight = parseInt($carryWeight)>> [img[setup.ImagePath+'icon.png']] Now there's only a little more to tell you before you can spend those free 300 dubloons we're giving you! This is the habitation option for our current layer, which is the Surface. You'll find Habitation options just like this one on every layer of the Abyss. These represent possible endings" to your journey, giving you an idea of what happens after you decide to settle down. You might end up choosing one of the options down in the Abyss due to finding that you don't have enough supplies to make it back to the surface, or because you don't want to take on more Curses to be able to ascend through the Miasma - or perhaps you'll simply fall in love with one of the of layers down there and never want to leave. It happens sometimes, but not very often in the deeper layers. After picking a Habitation option, your fate will be locked, sealing you permanently in the layer you choose and foiling future attempts to change your mind and leave. This also applies if you spend over two consecutive days on the surface after having previously been down in the Abyss - the Miasma will adapt and grow to reject your body, preventing you from entering the Abyss once more and forcing you into the surface's Habitation option. Furthermore, Habitation options are all locked away by fate until you choose them - you can't actually interact with any Habitation options or potentially make use of them on your quest prior to choosing them and settling down. You cannot choose a Habitation option when your corruption points are lower than 0. What your companions do after you pick a Habitation option will largely depend on their temperament, and how well you've treated them on your adventure. Did you woo them and steal their heart, making them want to spend the rest of their days with you? Or did you merely treat them as tools, exploiting them for gain? Some characters, like Cloud, have vested interest in the surface and would need a great deal more convincing to stay down in the Abyss permanently... while, for example, Cherry would be bit of a challenge to convince to live anywhere, let alone return to her life on the surface. Keep things like that in mind when thinking about how your ending will go. If necessary, companions may attempt to return to the surface on their own if you if decide to stay down there the return trip is less perilous for them than it is for you, after all. Now I think you can have a look around the town and choose how to spend your dubloons! [[Explore the town|Surface Hub]]

And while most divers seem to be ignoring her, a few hesitate to hear her sales pitch and a few more of those end up buying the overpriced supplies. <<elseif $layerTemp == 4>> An apparently quite young boy, seemingly barely even a teenager, seems to be getting into a fight with a very scantily-clad woman in front of a non-descript building with a few similarly-dressed women inside watching.

He tries to give some justification and offer the money again, but the woman calls a large man in an imposing security uniform who escorts him away from the premises. The boy complains, but ultimately walks away disappointed. <<elseif $layerTemp == 5>> A quiet black-haired young woman, who you seem to remember from the companion area, seems to be sitting on a bench in the middle of town with a notebook in her lap.

[img[setup.ImagePath+'icon.png']] Looks like you're ready to start your voyage! Let me just summarize and make some quick notes: You have four major stats you should keep track of - corruption, gained from Curses and spent obtaining Relics or whenever you ascend a page, days of food and days of water, which you should be consuming 1 point each of daily or things will get really bad, and dubloons, which you can spend on this page. (You can obtain more by surfacing with Relics and selling unwanted ones.) Weights are provided so that you don't break your back lifting completely unrealistic load, but you'll need to set your limits there. The only one that can logically become negative is corruption, but I'd use caution and try to keep it balanced when possible reckless choices may leave you with a deficit that you can't balance out, and you can't choose a Habitation option and end your adventure with corruption points lower than 0. Other than the free stipend of 300 dubloons that you got, all stats start at 0. Though it heavily references it and shares a name with it, this isn't quite the same Abyss that you might be familiar with from certain work of fiction. You won't cry blood when ascending, and while death's certainly still possible, sexual misadventures are more likely. Prior knowledge of that Abyss and universe isn't necessary to enjoy this adventure at all. You'll have my voice down there explaining your available options, but I won't be physically accompanying you. If you like, you can think of it as manifestation of your own intuition, or as the voice of the Abyss itself, or both. [[Return to town|Surface Hub]]

You stand at the foot of the Abyss, a hole large enough to defy the imagination. A light, cold wind tickles your face - not a familiar northerly wind, not a zephyr, not any kind of wind you've experienced before - no, this wind beckons you from below, from deep within the earth. The greedy maw of the Abyss patiently awaits your descent. The only way forward is downward. It won't take too long to make your way down to the Abyss proper - there's no cost in moving down to the next layer. Just be sure you're ready, getting back is the hard part. <<back [[Surface Hub]]>> [[Descend into the Abyss|Layer1 1]]

A constant buzzing surrounds you all at once, as if you were swallowed by a swarm of bees. And in fact, when you glance at the trees, you can see that their bark is now impossible to make out, instead covered in layers of yellow and black insects moving over each other. Then they begin to take flight, filling the air with black and yellow bugs and filling your ears with an intense droning sound. As you<<if $hiredCompanions.length > 0>> and your companions<<endif>> brace for the pain of the piercing stingers and nearly panic, you realize none of the bees are hurting you. In fact, none seem to be landing on you at all, leaving you a space of about a meter of peace within the ordered chaos of the swarm. The strange sight in front of you also gives you the chance to notice a few odd things. Firstly, the bees seem strangely proportioned, as if their heads were too big for their bodies, making them almost look like a different type of insect altogether if it weren't for their coloration and behavior. Second, the apparent bees are not moving randomly, they seem to be pairing up and rubbing their bodies quite vigorously against each other before leaving and moving to a new partner. It occurs to you that perhaps you're in the middle of an orgy for these pseudo-bees. Third, you hear a second buzzing sound, one that sounds less like the buzzing of a bee and more like someone hitting wood together very quickly. As you investigate the new sound, you spot a tree with a few branches vibrating and smacking against each other, with the apparent culprit being a small scrap of cloth gently wrapped around one of the branches. Spotting your goal, you're easily able to pull the vibrating tassel away from the tree, and as you leave the copulating swarm, the tassel becomes still, leaving only the strong smell of honey and its honeycomb pattern to signify there's anything unusual about it.

The space between the rock formations you've been hiking down begins to shrink, the smaller rock outcroppings meerging into singular masses of land. Before long, the Abyss begins to feel less like a single pt and more like many tunnels burrowing through the earth, twisting and turning into themselves to form a massive, incomprehensible cave network. Whenever you speak, your own voice echoes back to beckon you further down. The miasma produces no light in this layer, and these dark, twisted caverns are slow to navigate without a light source, such as a torch or flashlight. If you have such a source of light, you may subtract 1 day from all the time costs on this page. Remember that if you're using torches, they will last for exactly one choice in this layer - including ascending or descending layers. The Abyss has various bioluminescent moss, mushrooms, and so on scattered about, so exploring these caves wihout a source of light isn't so implossible or as much of suicide mission as exploring caves on the surface without a light source would be - though doing so would still be quite difficult down here.

But upon further inspection, you realize that rather than water, it is a slime that is a very transluscent blue color. Luckily you noticed it in time and didn't consume any, but it serves as a reminder that strange things lurk in these tunnels. You notice a small crab suspended in the slime, apparently one that didn't recognize the difference between the slime and water until it was too late. <<elseif $layerTemp == 2>> You notice a scurrying out of the corner of your eye on one of the walls. Preparing yourself for the worst, you ready yourself for a fight against whatever you noticed, but instead you spot a few glowing, scurrying crabs, each about 5 centimeters across, using their claws to clip some fungus and consume it. The color of the crabs seems almost like the color of the light given off by the fungus. Perhaps this is a part of the ecosystem here? <<elseif $layerTemp == 3>> A few glowing crabs skitter in front of you and quickly dart into a hole in the wall. You notice what they're running from a moment after them as a small bundle of tentacles slides across the ground, reaching a long arm forward to grab one of the crabs. Once it has a hold of the crab, it seems to extend a number of tiny feeler tentacles that gently caress the crab over its entire body and over time work themselves into all of the crab's orifices. After a minute of infiltration, the tentacle blob turns around to where it came, crab in tow, and seems to be more leasuirely in its pace.

That's all for this version! Thank you for playing version 0.4 of the interactive adaptation of Abyss Diver by FloricSpacer. I'd like to hear any feedback about the current state of the game and any bugs or typos you've found! I'm working on adding the remaining layers quickly, though it is pretty labor intensive, so that depends on my free time irl. I think a lot of the systems from the first few layers should carry over to later ones well, but there are also a lot of new mechanics that need to be implemented. Hopefully it doesn't take long and I can post the rest of the layers soon! As I add more systems and the game gets more complicated under the hood, I expect many bugs that I didn't catch to manifest, so detailed bu reports for any errors you've encountered are very valuable. Thanks again for playing!

Eyes adjusting once more to the Miasmal light, your first look at the layer is of a blanket of snow extending far into the fog-covered horizon, punctuated by small glacial mountains as the ground slowly meaners downward. miasma-produced winds sometimes dislodge buildups of ice on the ceiling, causing it to drift down to the ground as snow or hail. What little begetation there is struglle to survuve in this layer grows small and sparse. This layer is enveloped in a bitter, piercing cold, strengthened by Miasma to effectively penetrate any kind of insulating clothing or similar protection. Your only option for staying warm is an active source that radiates heat. Without somehing easily portable, like a torch, you'll need to frequently stop to take shelter to start campfires. If you have a portable heat source, you may subtract 2 days from all time costs on this page. The 5 romer stones together don't quite produce enough heat to keep you warm on their own.

Thank you so much to anyone who has helped me out with this project! I appreciate all the feedback and suggestions I get, especially feature requests and bug reports! I try to respond promptly to these, so please let me know if you have an idea or find a bug! Thanks to Ilse91 for helping with a huge variety of code and adding some new features regarding height, carry weight, companions, conversations, and endings. She also helped in getting my motivation for working on the game back and her help is incredibly appreciated. Thanks to Emmeken for transcribing the item descriptions for me. Thanks to dogflail for writing drafts for some of the curse appearance screen decriptions. Thanks to abiciendimittent for transcribing the relic and curse descriptions (will be added to the game when they are completed) Thanks to Stadler for finding many bugs and reporting them to me. Thanks to HiEv for having a great tutorial with sample code that I used in this project. Thanks to laevus for bug reports. Thanks to Kras for suggestions and bug reports. And thanks to Lily for encouraging me when I got some negative feedback early in the initial draft form of this game. I seriously appreciate all of your help and I'm really happy that people were willing to help improve this project with me.

It almost feels like the flowers beneath you are caressing your feet, but the air gets hotter and hotter as you head further down, and as the flowers begin to become charred and burned awar, the real culprit becomes clear: a squirming carpet of tentacles, thousands or millions of tiny villi completely covering almost every surface on the path ahead, forming an entire field of squirming creatures. They grow taller as you proceed, until you're wading through a thicket or navel-high tentacles, prodding and rubbing against your most sensitive areas. By this point, the heat has become truly intense, almost sauna-like. It's so hot that great swathes of the tentacle fields are actually aflame, thousands of tendrils being birned away and perpetually springing up again, a land of flesh doused in fire: a perfect vision of Hell. Some of the fire are in a familiar orange-red hue, while other come in more exotic greens, pinks, and purples, only lightly tickling when they lap at your skin. Small pieces of rubble, perhaps of some ancient structures, litter the layer...but the tentacles and flames have long since crushed and burned them into unrecognizable, meaningless rock.

Grateful to leave behind the burning tendrils, you step through and are greeted with a sea of light, an enormous, city, buildings and roads expanding into the distance, yet also stacked haphazardly on top of each other in layers of chrome and neon, paved with metal. A microcosm of the Abyss itself, perhaps? Yet for a city so large, it remains eerily quiet, the only sound being the quiet hum of robots patrolling the streets. There's no sign of any humans, or indeed any organic life at all. The city sleeps as robots silently perform their tasks, and it would be best to tread lightly, lest you wake it up.

Of course not everyone who bought it was as successful as you in the Abyss, and not all of them came back rich or with the same form they went in with, but no one can blame you for that. Your healthy book sales continue throughout your life, ensuring your wealth after the expedition never fades and you have a comfortable living situation for as long as you desire. @@.layerTitle;THE END@@

[img[setup.ImagePath+'Habitation/surfacehabitation.png']] You manage to come back from the abyss relatively unscathed by the corruption of the miasma, but unfortunately also without an enormous haul of loot. You sank a small fortune into your expedition (even if it was gifted to you) and you have little to show for it in the end. Maybe Abyss diving wasn't quite for you in the end? You head back to your home and essentially pick up life where it was left off $time days ago. While it seems like not much has changed, your time and experiences in the Abyss will always stay with you and the memories of your expedition will stay with you for the rest of your life. @@.layerTitle;THE END@@

[img[setup.ImagePath+'Habitation/surfacehabitation.png']] You manage to come back from the abyss relatively unscathed, but with quite a haul of loot you can use to build a small fortune. However, you did lose a significant amount of years. But that's a small price to pay for your newly acquired wealth, and in a few years you'll be back to your adult self anyway, right? It's not like it was some sort of permanent change to yourself. The reality turned out to be a good bit more troublesome. Because of your age people had a hard time believing you were actually the successful diver they'd heard about. When you tried to sell advice to enterprising divers, you found that they weren't interested in listening to you, despite your mostly successful experience. Either they thought you were a fraudulent child or your age reduction proved the failure of your voyage. In the end, you had trouble because of your age in nearly every aspect of your life. When going to parties you were shooed away unless someone vouched for you. When buying a new house the seller wouldn't accept your money without the presence of an adult, for fear of illegally making a contract with a child. Of course any sort of love life needed to be put on hold, as no one you would want to be with would accept a relationship with someone who appeared to be a little <<PerceivedGender>>. Even the simple inability to get a driver's license brought you nearly endless headaches when trying to travel somewhere without public transport (and ride sharing services didn't take children due to legal liabilities.) In the end, you had to spend a considerable amount of your fortune to hire a legal guardian to take care of the many issues that seemed to pop up in the years while you grew up a second time. The woman you hired was pretty helpful and loyal, presumably because you payed her so well, but you were still happy to see her go after you turned 18 again. Once you reached your second adulthood, you could finally enjoy the small amount that was left of diving treasure and the respect that was deserved of a successful diver such as yourself. @@.layerTitle;THE END@@

[img[setup.ImagePath+'Habitation/surfacehabitation.png']] When you come back you seem to not only have much of your age melted away, but also without much of a haul of valuable loot. Although people were generally accepting towards you, there were a number of problems that popped up due to your new age, which you unfortunately didn't have the dubloons to resolve smoothly. People already had a hard time believing you were a diver, even if they knew some divers did come back younger. But you also had trouble with finding an apartment that would allow you to sign the lease and would fit into your budget. When you thought you had found an affordable apartment, they refused to let you sign a lease because "you were just a kid" and thus not able to legally sign the contract. Apparently the laws made to help former divers with reduced age mean nothing if people don't believe you aren't just some random kid. After a while, many people simply viewed you as a homeless kid with a wild imagination, and you were forcibly assigned a legal guardian by the city. Your assigned gaurdian was strict and treated you as the child they believed you to be, completel with early bedtimes and a return to school. Luckily, this was only a temporary state of affairs and eventually you did reach the age of 18 once again, leading to your complete legal freedom. Now that you were an adult again, you had a whole new adventure to embark on, the rest of your life. @@.layerTitle;THE END@@

[img[setup.ImagePath+'Habitation/surfacehabitation.png']]<<appGender>> Upon your return from the Abyss, you were a changed person, though some may not consider you to be as much of a person as you were before. You were now a wealthy <<PerceivedGender>>, but at the cost of some of your perceived humanity. Despite the fact that on the inside you were still the same person, many of the people on the surface didn't view you quite the same way. While not everybody was intolerant, you felt that in many ways you were shunned by many parts of the local community, even around Outset Town. The main people you felt some kinship with was fellow divers who had also been curses by the corruptive miasma of the Abyss. Of course it was even worse if you traveled farther from the Abyss, so you tended to keep nearby to avoid being branded a "demon" or "devil-worshiper" by people who didn't understand you. And while Outset Town did have laws to prevent discrimination against corrupted divers, they were rarely enforced. And many people feared that you might be some sort of sex-maniac who was unable to control your urges around people, despite not having any problems of the sort occur when you were on the surface. After a while, you felt that you could put your riches to better use by starting an organization where former divers with more serious curses could congregate, while also promoting awareness and tolerance for cursed divers around Outset Town. In the end, your efforts did help somewhat, and there was far less open fear of divers who were touched by the Abyss, but you still felt more at ease in your mansion on the outskirts of town. @@.layerTitle;THE END@@

You might talk to someone on the phone, get a price, arrive for a tour, then get told the unit was sold and no longer available. You heard rumblings about some divers apparently being difficult clients to deal with, and despite the fact you never caused a problem, it seems that was projected onto you too. Finding a job wasn't much easier, unfortunately. In the end, and ex-diver named Harry employed you in his store and you shared an apartment with him. He had green, slimey skin, but he was a kind man that was always fair in his treatment of you. You now spend your days working in the store or participating in movements for fairer treatment of people with visibly inhuman afflictions. @@.layerTitle;THE END@@

Eventually, Sheela, a nice lady with a pair of fox ears and an orange fox tail, took pity on you and aided you. You put your hard-earned wealth to work and together you set up a shelter for other divers who came back with severe age regression, similar to your own. While you funded the whole organization, Sheela managed the day-to-day affairs with the apparent children in the shelter. Sometimes it was nice to enjoy the fruits of your labor and spend some time relaxing in the shelter yourself, pretending you weren't the owner and you could just relax. And of course, getting soft pats from Sheela was always nice as well. @@.layerTitle;THE END@@

While you didn't have much money to provide her, you did what you could to help her out. After living with Sheela for a while, you began to feel guilty for taking so much from her, without being able to give her enough in return. When you told her your thoughts, tears began to flow down her face. She explained that her foxy ears and tail were not the only side-effects of her time as a diver, she had also been cursed with absolute infertility. In her younger years it hadn't mattered as much to her, but by now she had yearned for children of her own, and taking care of you had brought her great joy in life. For years she had regretted her expedition, the meager earnings not worth the cost she paid, but now she was content with her life, accepting what had happened and accepting how her life had eventually turned out. Despite being an adult on the inside, you had formed a deep bond as she protected you from a world that viewed you as a child, and when she revealed her true feelings you couldn't help but hug her tightly. Many tears were shed on both sides that night. From that point on, you felt like you had formed a nice, though odd, family connection with her. Eventually you grew up, but you kept a strong connection with her for the rest of your life. @@.layerTitle;THE END@@

[img[setup.ImagePath+'Habitation/surfacehabitation.png']] Unfortunately. you returned to Outset Town largely empty-handed. And your dive was well known among the people of the town, however, you had developed an almost unquenchable thirst for sex. At first people reacted positively to you when you told them about your adventures, but the constant sexual innuendos, inappropriate public conduct, and your generally sex-orientated behavior quickly built an infamous reputation amongst the people of Outset Town. Drifting from job to job, you tried to make money, but whether it was sleeping with your boss or public masturbation, in the end your high libido always caused you to be fired. Eventually, you became so strapped for cash that you started offering your body at parties you had infiltrated, and then also on the street. After all, why not get a little something back while also satisfying yourself? You wanted sex, some people wanted you, and you could make everyone happy. Of course you considered doing other things, but really, you had a good life when you thought about it. Despite the risks of being a prostitute, your brothel actually treated you well and you definitely enjoyed your job. There was really no reason to complain. You weren't rich, but you made enough money and had fun doing it, and that's what really matters, right? @@.layerTitle;THE END@@

[img[setup.ImagePath+'Habitation/surfacehabitation.png']] You return to Outset Town with a substantial pile of dubloons, giving you great financial freedom in your endeavors there. You also become somewhat of a legend amongst divers due to tales of your success, but people tend to be surprised when they see you and perceive you to be only a child. Some people who aren't intimately familiar with the changes the Abyss causes in people even believe that you are merely telling tales and simply inherited your wealth. Due to your perceived age, you occasionally have trouble with spending your wealth, especially on things that people think only adults should be buying, like a house. However, the larger difficulty was the fact that you had a great desire for sex due to the Abyss's corruption, but your appearance as a child made it very difficult to find people to indulge you. You hired a faux legal guardian to purchase a house for you, but you continually bickered with her due to your focus on sex and her treatment of you as child rather than a true equal. She was very helpful in your everyday as she drove you around and handled many legal issues, yet you still found yourself in conflict with her many times and had to pay her a sizable salary just to prevent her from quitting. Eventually, you signed some papers that you probably should have read more closely and gave her control over your funds until you once again reached the apparent age of 18. This turned out to be a grave mistake, and everthing changed afterwards as she had full control of your estate. Two years after that event, you spend most of your time effectively imprisoned within your own home. Your guardian greatly abused her power to control you, by placing mittens on you to prevent you from touching yourself and keeping you within a padded room styled to look like one for a small child. You are gagged with a pacifier to stop complaints, and she would not listen if she could hear you. And your "guardian" lives a life of luxury spending your hard-earned money. Luckily it will only be a few more years until you are able to legally leave and control your estate once again, but for now you are in quite a predicament. @@.layerTitle;THE END@@

[img[setup.ImagePath+'Habitation/surfacehabitation.png']] When you returned to Outset Town you had lost much and and gained little in return. But upon living in the surface again, you realized you could still lose more if society rejected you. It was already difficult to get by with so little cash, but you also looked like a child to any observers while also feeling like an uncontrollable sexual deviant within. After just a few days, you found yourself in a hard, cold cell after you were caught sneaking into a nightclub that had refused you entry. You were told that you were going to be send to a rehabilitation institute that specialized in people who were corrupted by the Abyss who also lacked legal guardians. A few days later you were taken to a place that resembled a mansion that was just outside of town. Unfortunately, it was not such a kind place to help people deal with their afflictions, it was instead a cruel place where people were forced to conform so that they did not cause problems for the "normal" people. In that facility you were degraded and forced to follow the strictest of lifestyles, with your actions heavily constrained by the nurses and guards present. They kept in purposefully child-like areas, sometimes even resembling cribs for mere infants. You regularly had meetings with doctors, though who knows if they truly had degrees, who insisted that you must be a child and must restrain yourself from any impure impulse. However, for you and many of the other inhabitants of the rehabilitation center, you never changed. The touch of the Abyss is not so easily controlled, and your mental Curses stayed with you for the rest of your life. The doctors rejected this, and tried to force you to conform. If you complied, you received some of your privileges back, and were able to retain a shred of dignity. Eventually, you were living a relatively normal life, assuming you were okay with being treated as a child as remaining imprisoned within the facility. Despite the fact you were treated like a child and your freedom had been taken away, life still went on. You were able to stroll through the gardens or speak to the other patients, though you were always watched by a member of the staff to ensure you didn't return to your deviant ways. While your mind never changed, and you always yearned to once again have control over your own life, the date of your release when you turned 18 was always on the horizon. In just a few years time you would be free to engage in all the debauchery you desired and control your own life once again. Perhaps you would even try to shut down the facility if you truly desired it and worked hard towards it. @@.layerTitle;THE END@@

[img[setup.ImagePath+'Habitation/surfacehabitation.png']] Upon your return to the surface, you pondered your journey, concluding that you had truly experienced the Abyss to the fullest. You collected many Relics and many Curses along your expedition, leaving you wealthy, but also marked for the rest of your life. You had undergone a not only physical change, something that wasn't unnoticed by the people of Outset Town, but also a strong mental change that oriented you towards lust. A day without at least some debauchery now seemed to be a day wasted. Despite wanting to enjoy the many parties in Outset Town, you found that you were sometimes excluded due to your inhuman appearance. There were other parties with physically Cursed divers, but they tended to be smaller and rarer, and certainly not enough to satisfy your newfound appetite. With the wealth you had accumulated, chose to purchase your own house where you didn't mind throwing parties quite frequently. In fact, you became well known for being very open and accepting to anyone who was interested in a night of depravity within your halls. Your reputation became solidified as someone who valued sex very highly and was willing to open your doors to some of the rowdier Cursed divers, both physically and mentally. It was sometimes a chore to corral the guests at your estate, but in the end it seemed to work out. Many Cursed divers felt a kinship towards you due to your own situation, leading to them being overrepresented at your parties, a nice outcome in your eyes. Occasionally you faced trouble due to your appearance and lust-adled mind, causing you to wonder if there may have been a better life for someone like you in the Abyss, but upon consideration you were always satisfied with the way your life turned out. @@.layerTitle;THE END@@

This was only a temporary solution though, as you were quickly identified and over time all of the bouncers came to know your face. As time passed, you became more desperate to satisfy your urges and to obtain some dubloons, leading you to an obvious conclusion: prostitution. While your rates were always lower due to your appearance and the fact that you could never quite force yourself to demand a higher rate if it risked turning a customer away, you were able to make a solid living.

You enjoyed your life for the most part but as time grew on you started to mis some of the ammenities the top side could provide you. Although you still went to the surface on occasion to enjoy those you started to wonder if there wasn't something that could be done in Outcast village. You debated it a bit with the rest of the community and decided to put the fortune you had left over from your abyss diving days into water turbines to improve the power available for the village. Over time this modernised the town a bit as appliances from the surface started pouring in, but in the end Outcast village never really lost its rustic feel.

You became a valued and central member in the community of Outcast village, spending many evening drinking and sharing stories about your abyss diving days. In the end you lived a simple but happy life in Outcast village

[img[setup.ImagePath+'Habitation/outcastvillage.png']] At some point enough is enough, and with your body regressed at much as yours was you felt it would be better to just call it quits.

Of course you looked at ways to provide for yourself but that proved more difficult than you thought. You couldn't help out in the fields around town and working on some of the construction projects was even more impossible. If it waren't for your considerable savings after you abyss diving adventure you wouldn't have known what to do. Outcast village was very accomodating to regressed divers so you were able to buy a place for yourself and maintain yourself for a while. You decided to still be frugal thought, not knowing how long it would take before your could work for your own food. Before long some people in the cummunity understood what was going and before you knew it you felt like you were constantly surrounded by people, bringing food or treating you to a diner. Sometimes you felt you were being babysat by 300 people, but at the same time being looked after by 300 people also felt nice. The family across the streat was especially nice, at some point you spend more than half the nights eating at their place. The days you stayed at home the father of the family would still check up on you in the morning and in the evening the mother would often stop by to bring you some left over diner (which tasted suspiciously fresh). SHe never left before giving you a big kiss and a big hug. Over time you became sort of the town mascot and every where you go people greeted you and asked if they could help you with stuff. When you first started to live Outcast village you worried that grow back up by yourself woudl be really hard but after a few years it was clear that your family that helped you allong the way was now bigger than ever.

He really loved his new little <<BreastCorrected>><<PerceivedGender>>. Your older stepsister wasn't always nice to you, she seemed to enjoy treating you like a little kid most out of everybody as she new it stung you a bit. When she was babysitting you she would sometimes give you her old sippycup instead of a regular glass to drink. While it annoyed you it wasn't all bad as she tend to forget she was teasing you after a while and started to genuinely play games with you. And finally there was your new stepmother, although she didn't tease you with your regressed condition she simply couldn't help herself pampering you as much as she did. This also annoyed you at first but over time you started to love every second of it. She was bathing you, doing your hair, dressing you and even feeding you during dinner. As the years would go by this would slowly grow less and less, while the love for you new family only increased.

She was nice, but not exactly the most gentle person ever. Maybe overprotective would be a better way to describe it. When I was younger I wasn't really allowed to play outside or do anything that might be too rough. Sometimes it was a lttle annoying, but I understand why she was doing it.<</say>> <<say $mc>>I can imagine that was a little tough.<</say>> <<say companion1>>Yeah, but it wasn't all bad. I think she was just looking out for me, since I am the youngest. We were a very tight family, so we did a lot of stuff with each other. And in a way it forced me to learn to cook and sow as well, since I wanted to do things with my sister.<</say>> <<say $mc>> Is that also the reason why you are wearing feminine clothing? Were they forcing you to do this?<</say>> <<say companion1>> No! No, nothing like that. As a child I think I looked pretty feminine. Well, even more than now I mean. My sisters liked to play dress-up with me, and I actually liked it too. Sometimes I thought that I shouldn't be doing it, but eventually I realized that if it makes me happy, then there's no reason I should stop.<</say>> He pauses for a moment as he seems to gather his thoughts. <<say companion1>> Over time I really began to appreciate how well my sisters cared for me. I don't know if it's the same for everyone, but I was glad they accepted what I liked and we could do things together and be happy.<</say>> You ponder his story for a bit. <<say $mc>> Thanks for sharing that with me. How are your sisters doing?<</say>> His expression falls, and he looks down in silence for a few seconds before responding. <<say companion1>>They all left.<</say>> After a few more moments he forces a smile and continues. <<say companion1>> Anyway, don't let your meal get cold!<</say>> <<say $mc>>Oh, sure, thanks for the meal!<</say>> As you take in the food, you realize it takes shockingly good for something made with such limited ingredients. How did he manage to get the texture just right and the flavors perfectly balanced all the way down here? Maru giggles as he looks at you eating his food. <<say companion1>> Well, if you like it this much, I'll be sure to make it like this more often!<</say>> Every 10 days, Maru will make a meal with 1 day worth of food that will keep you satisified for 2 days, saving you 1 day of food rations!

I thought it would be more of a story, but I guess everybody has their strange quirks.<</say>> Maru looks a bit downward. He opens his mouth as if to say something before closing it again. After a moment he replies. <<say companion1>> Yeah, I guess so...<</say>> <<say $mc>>Anyway, as long as you keep cooking these delicious meals, you won't hear me complaining about whatever you want to wear while you cook them!<</say>> <<say companion1>> Well, uh, thanks, I guess.<</say>> <<say $mc>>Huh?<</say>> Maru looks a bit flustered, as if he wans't sure what to say. <<say companion1>> Thanks for liking the food, I mean!

I was just a bit suprised that that was your question, since I thought you wanted to ask something about me, but I'm really happy that you like it!<</say>> <<say $mc>>Like it? It's absolutely delicious!<</say>> Maru smiles widely at your comment. <<say $companion1>> Well, in that case it would be cruel for me to not tell you the recipe! Even if it is made from the limited ingredients we have with us here!<</say>> Maru tells you in detail how he prepared the dish. It's actually pretty simple, but he added some herbs with subtle flavors which seem to have a made a big difference in the final product.

You don't seem to understand the gravity of what we will be encountering in the Abyss. It is not that there are simply a series of 'magical' wondrous things that we can enjoy, it is an apparent gap in our understanding of the rules of the universe. Even the simplest of the Relics or Wonders we will observe in the Abyss simply break the rules that humans have held dear for hundreds of years. We need to rethink everything that we know about the universe. But they do follow their own rules, so they can be scientifically studied.<</say>> Saeko seems to be getting more invested now, she begins speaking more enthusiastically about Abyssal research. <<say $companion6>>And while I don't expect to immediately understand why the Abyss does what it does, I think we can at least understand how it works on a surface level. How does Miasma alter developmental processes? How long have the species in the Abyss been evolving? Can we make use of the mutational effects of the miasma intentionally in a controlled manner, perhaps cure medical conditions? The potential is nearly limitless and we need to see what we can learn from it.<</say>> Saeko continues to talk about recent advances in research regarding the Abyss and the immense potential that the Abyss has, if we could only understand it well enough to use it. You don't get much of a chance to speak, but it is very informative. [[End the class|Party overview][$convoStart=1,$choice1=0,$choice2=0]] <<elseif $choice2==2>> <<say $mc>>Yeah, I'm thrilled to delve into all the mysteries the Abyss holds!<</say>> You see a twinkle in her eyes and the edges of her lips curl upwards. <<say $companion6>>Me too! I actually have a new theory about the effects of miasma on the flora and fauna native to the Abyss. I hypothesize that while some organisms display the effects of an acute mutation due to miasma exposure, others show an evolution over a long period of time in the Abyss. And I think if we can identify which species have evolved in the Abyss, then we can identify their most recent common ancestor with known surface species. If we do that, we can get a better understanding of what changes long-term colonization of the Abyss had on them and even when the species diverged!<</say>> She blushes a bit, noticing she may be getting a bit carried away. <<say $companion6>>But yeah, you might not want to hear all about it. I understand. Suffice to say that I think there is a lot we can learn and I'm quite interested in learning it.<</say>> <<say $mc>>No, please continue! I don't know if I'll be completely able to understand, but maybe it could be useful for the trip.<</say>> Saeko smiles widely and perks up at your interest. <<say $companion6>>Well, if you say so. Anyway, I think that if we can see the common ancestors of Abyssal species to surface species, then we can create bounds on the age of the Abyss. Like if the flairabou of the 4th layer diverged from a surface mammal 500,000 years ago, then we can conclude the Abyss must be at least 500,000 years old. That's just an example, I haven't analyzed the flairabou yet. Though I hypothesize the oldest diverging species may be on the lower levels, so if we don't go deep enough then we won't be able to put an upper bound on the age of the Abyss. <</say>> <<say $companion6>>And also, we may be able to learn about how the Abyss alters the evolution of the species within. If we raised a flairabou outside the Abyss, would it have the same properties or does it rely on the miasma of the Abyss to mutate its body in a certain way to stay alive? Do we need to worry about Dune Devouring Borers colonizing the Sahara if someone brought them to the surface? Right now, no one knows, but I think these are important questions to ask and I hope that further analysis of Abyssal flora and fauna can provide answers to these questions.<</say>> Saeko continues her explanation for a while, posing more questions, hypotheses, and experiments she'd like to do to test them. You can't quite follow everything she says, as she's clearly a better researcher than teacher, but she's glad you're paying attention and tries to explain anything you ask about.

When you look down and check your skin, everything seems alright, no scars or burns anywhere. Luckily it seems that your body has not actually been torn apart, instead it was either a psychic attack of some sort or a vision of a possible future.

Its been a long journey but everything needs to end. After long contemplation, you decide that it is time to settle down and enjoy your life. With all the money you made you even had the chance to improve the lives of a lot of people. So you chose to stay on the second layer, where you could really make a difference. The first thing you needed to do was gain their trust, so you imported food from the first layer and surface. that act brings you into the good books of almost everyone and allows you to takel the next biggest problem. The criminal activity in the second layer was even worse than expected, but you had an idea how to solve it. You talked to the mayor of the Village and after a little "donation" he allows you to start a police force. With the money you had left you founded expeditions to get more relics which you sold to pay the police force and keep importing food. This continued some time and you became quickly the most popular person on the second layer and even got elected as the mayor. Under your rule Downcast village grow almost to twice its original size. one of your most ingenious ideas was to turn it into a beloved tourist spot. Sometimes you start to miss your old life, the excitement the adventure, and even the struggle to survive. But then you look down on the city you helpt to create and remember why you gave it all up, You wanted to do good in the Abyss, and by god you did it.

You are done with this. You started so full of hope, dreams and energy, you thought with enough determination and time you would make it to the deepest part of the Abyss ... and now look at you, your spirit is broken, your money gone and your dreams dashed. And so you find yourself back in the second layer, the heavy rain hammering on you as to remind you of your failure. The only good thing that happened to you on this good forsaken journey is that you became strong or maybe you should call it cunning or perhapse experienced, it doesn't matter anyways. What counts is getting results and your Abyss experienced learned you how to get results, that's stremgth in itself. And you are going to use this strength to your advantage like you should have done from the start. The most important lessons that you learned are 1. Kill or be killed 2. take what you need and then a little more and 3. No regrets no mercy. The Abyss is cold and uncaring and you adapted quickly to it. So you start the rest of your life. Soon everyone knows and fears you. You are feard as one of the best mercenary or assasins, not only on the second layer but also on the first and even the surface. Your off days are spent drinking to forget, but it never wörks for long since the nightmares are just a drink too much and a drink too few away, always lurking in the back of your head.

After a long time wandering in the Abyss you are tired. You have seen wonders and horrors alike and survived till now. But you had to pay a heavy price. most of your autonomy is gone. You look down on yourself and see once again your childish body as the heavy rain of the second layer purs down on you. But not everything is hopeless. On your grueling travels through the abys you made quite the fortune, making you one of the richest persons around. But you still have the body and with that, the strength of a child, that and sporadic acts of childishness are problems you cannot overcome alone. So you seek out the help of somebody strong who can protect you, and you find Dimitry who is willing to help you out in exchange for your coin. Dimitry lives in a slightly bigger house than common and is one of the nicest and strongest people in the second layer. It was a gamble to go to him for help but of all the people he was well known for having a soft spot for children as well as being honorable. Soon you and Dimitry are growing closer and what began as a business deal has started to feel like a real family. He protects you from the more unsavory people of the second layer and even trains you to hunt and fight better than before your glory days. He supports you when you wake up in the night plagued by nightmares from your old diving days. He listens to your tales about the wonders that you have seen and laughs and jokes with you. Once you are old enough again you start to hunt to support Demitry since the money you had was long spent and once your fully grown you plan to start delving again this time to support your new family.

You don’t know when it happened bur you remember you where in Downcast village when it happened. You just broke down. The Abyss had stripped you of most of you maturity and at the benefit of what? You don’t know if this childlike body was finally influencing your mental state or if it was the burden of constant struggle in general, but you broke down and you broke down hard. You cried so hard that even with constant rain of the second layer it was still clear that tears were flowing freely from your eyes. At some point a man stopped in front of you and asked what the matter was, half brawling and half stuttering you explained the whole story. He listens attentively, while you pour your heart out. At some point you calmed down and he speaks up for the first time in a while. ‘So you don’t have a lot of coin on you? Hmm there might be not much I can do than…’ He falls quiet for a while. ‘Look kid, there is something like a kids day care just ahead. In this town we have a lot of, let’s call them ‘unplanned kids’ being born. Maybe they can help you out as well, that’s all I offer’. You head towards the prescribed location and find an elderly lady with two younger aids looking over a bunch of kids, some even younger than you are. When you offer your last earnings for some food and shelter they look at each other but accept your offer anyway. They next few days you are looked after by them, although you get the feeling you are still being kept away from most of the kids, maybe its because they suspect you aren’t a normal kid or maybe it’s because they don’t want trouble with the parents of the kids who get pick-up at the end of the day. But all in all you are happy that you at least have some place to stay. You even see the man that gave you the lifesaving tip a couple of times walking by, as you wave happily to him. After a while though the old lady approaches you with the bad news that they have to put you out on the street again as they can’t support you without financial backing. You find yourself one the street once more, but within an hour the same man from before is in front of you again. ‘What happened?’ He grunts. ’They kicked me out because I had no money anymore’ you snicker. ‘How can they…?! Urgh I’ll have a word with them..’ and he walks off. He is back within a mere moments and he just waves you over. You don’t know how he did but you were allowed back. Things changed a little after that. The man, which you learned is called Dimitry started to actually visit you and would ask how they were treating you. While you didn’t care at first that you weren’t allowed to play with the other kids, you still felt somewhat adult after all, you started feeling left out and complained about it to Dimitry. That was the last time you played by yourself. As years went by Dimitry suddenly said you were going home with him that night. ‘Look kid, I just like it better when I can keep an eye on you. Besides I can teach you some fighting and hunting’. You still kept going to the day care during most days as Dimitry had to, in his word, ‘make sure you and I keep a roof over our heads’ but you spend more and more time with him. As you aged again and you become more proficient in the skills Dimitry learned you, you were more determined to ever to use them to pay him back. Pay him back for what you know he did for you, but also for what you suspected you didn’t know he did for you.

It's dark and cold in the cave you use as a refuge. You had an interesting time in the Abyss. You saw amazing wonders and horrifying nightmares. But you paid a steep price for your adventure, you are unrecognizable as the one who started this journey, and your monstrous appearance scares even the strongest mercenary on the second layer. So you run to this cave just outside Downcast village where you now live. Suddenly you hear a soft voice " Are you the beast that understands the human language? or better known as the transformed adventurer?." "how do you know me?" you ask. "My employe knows a lot." the voice answers still not showing itself. "If you have enough of this cave come to this address." And then the voice is gone, outside you find a piece of paper. Sometime later you sit before a smiling man. He is not quite fat but still a bit plump and has a long mustache. "Nice to meet you my name is mister Gerard Reed and I want to hire you as my personal bodyguard"."... Why?" is all you can muster after your initial reception surprise. "Because you look like a monster... and have to be quite strong if the Abyss blessing has progressed this far, so what do you say? You don't have to do a lot just look menacing and help with the ... business a bit. In exchange, you will have a roof over your head and food on the table ... I think thats better than a cave don't you agree?". Well, what options do you have really, So you work for Mister G. Reed and become one of his most valued ... employes sowing fear and panic in the hearts of any who would oppose him.

They say money and power corrupt people, but they never delved into the Abyss. No. the Abyss corrupts people and the money and power help you to cope with that, so it's only natural that you need more money. After going around Downcast village looking to simply buy people to sate your sexual urges you suddenly find yourself in the office of mister Gerard Reed. 'So word on the street is that you trying to buy people. Now tell me are you a rich addict or an over enthousiastic investor'. He leans back in his big leather office chair. "A bit of both I guess' You stammer, already feeling the heat rising in your body again. 'And I was hoping you could help, you see I have specific idea..' You continue with some more determination. 'Why do you think I would be interesed in this idea of yours? I mainly wanted to meet you because you were kicking up dust. I don't like people kicking up dust in my little village' He says with a bit of an agetated tone. 'I suggest you you use all that money you apperently have to enjoy your retirement diver'. You scrape your throat, feeling a bit desperate. ".Well, I do have enough to get me started but my funds will run out rather quickly and the idea I had in mind is euh.. how should I call it. It needs someone who can deal with delicate maters." "Eleborate" Mr. Reed says with a light sparkle in his eyes and you know you have his full attention. "Have you ever hört of the nymphs of the third layer?"."They are a myth" he says dismissively. "Not at all I've seen them myself, all I need from you is help me fund an expedition down to the third layer, then we capture them sell some of them to rich assholes up on the surface, and with the rest, we can open a high-class brothel never seen on either layer or the surface. which will make us richer and bring tourism down to this layer". "What about collateral should your expedition fail?" He says with a dark expression. "You can have all my cash" You say seriously. You actually don't care about the money anyway, or the potential revenue your buisness idea can generate. Ever since you got those curses you have had an almost uncontrollable sex craving and it seems to just get worse. Strangely enough the wealth of money you accuired has only made you pickier. A cheap whore just doesn't do it for you anymore, you need something exclusive and exotic. That's why this expedition must succeed. After three grueling days where you have to take what you can to quench your ... thirst the expedition finally returns. You hired the best of the best, they were expensive but it was worth it and they return with six new Nymph slaves. Finally, you have something worthy on hand to quench your lust. Their beauty is beyond comparison and to you they look like living liquid gems. After selling one to some dude on the surface you open the brothel with Mister Reed. "Well, what did I tell you ?" you ask with a grin after your first session. "They sure are easy on the eyes and they have a lot of buisness potential." He says with a wicked grin on his face. You can hardly hide your own excitement. "have you already sampled one?". Reed looks over to you with predotory smile and greedy glimmer in his eyes. "No, I haven't and I'll think I'll leave it to paying customers to sample them. More importantly when are planning to start the next expedition?". "Well since they are going to make us a lot of money, "You say while janking on one of the leashes around the necks of the slaves, " I think we can start our next one in 2 months. Maybe we can send them down to the fourth this time, the Abyss is like a garden. We just have to pluck the ripest fruits and sell them so we can continue to harvest, hahahaha " After that exchange, you return to your new slave/toy for another round of *well-deserved* stress release. Soon your brothel becomes the biggest and best visited one in all of the Abyss. You have something for every taste: Nymphs, Nomades, but also normal humans. Your hunters also managed to get Lizard girls, dog and catgirls, most of which used to be divers, and one even got two succubi after a hard and dangerous visit to the 5th layer. Now you are one of the richest persons, maybe second only to Mr Reed, in the Abyss. you have your own harem of beautiful 'toys' who do anything your sick and deranged heart demands. Talk of you and your brothel even reaches the surface, and while you might be reviled there from time to time people come down and admit they are actually pretty jealous of you. Yes, you can really be proud of yourself you think while sampling the newest product for your customers. You are such a hard worker.

It's not always easy, but the thrill of adventure more than makes up for it to me. <</say>> <<say $creepydoll>> You know, I can feel what you feel? And what I felt was sleepyness and tired thoughts and lots of doubt. Don't lie to me. Lying is not nice. Good girls don't lie. Only BAD people lie. IF YOU LIE YOU NEED TO GET PUNISHED. I HATE LIARS!

I think it's worth it and I enjoy it!<</say>> The cold sensation dissipates and you feel a warm, soft aura comming from the doll once again. <<say $creepydoll>> Oh, I see! You just want to have fun! I also want to have fun! You know what doesn't make you sleepy and is super fun?<</say>> <<say $mc>> Uh, no? <</say>> <<say $creepydoll>> Playing games, silly. We should go to my house and play all day! That would be super fun! <</say>> You're a bit hesitant about going to god-forsaken corner of the Abyss to "play", so you try to weasle out of it while attempting to avoid the doll's anger. <<say $mc>>Maybe that could be fun someday, okay?<</say>> <<say $creepydoll>> Yay, I'm so happy!

When you go to sleep, you dream once again. You dream about the playroom you were in, with your dolly. Your tattered pink dress doesn't look tattered at all anymore. It looks just like your dolly's dress. In fact, you started to look more like your dolly as well. But that's okay. It makes you look like a cute pair of twins after all. You have tea time with your dolly, chatting away about how beautiful your dresses are, how tasty your tea is, and how nice it is to spend this time together. You also play house with your dolly, taking turns switching who is the mommy and who is the baby. And once you get tired of playing you cuddle with your dolly until you fall a sleep again, just so you could play with her more the next day! It's so much fun! Over time she even grows a lot so you can cuddle better! That's so nice of your dolly, she is the best! She's so considerate of you, making sure you're always content and comfortable where you are.

This is the last area where balloons of any kind can function. If you head down, you will need to come back up on foot again before the shop's messenger, escape, or commerce balloons can ascend through the layers again. Anything could be down there, so it's probably best to stock up on all kinds of supplies (assume it may take weeks or months to get back) and take care of any unfinished business before proceeding further - you have a feeling that what lies beyond this layer is a level of danger that will make everything up until now seem laugably easy. Past this point, the Abyss probably stops playing fair and reasonable. If you're not dissuade and will continue onward, it will take you 8 days to reach this layer's bottom.

[img[setup.ImagePath+"Relics/kinshifter.png"]] A glob of thick, putty-like slime. the face appears decorative. When touched to another relic that you own, a portion of the slime will break off and reshape itself into a perfect replica of that Relic, gaining all of its characteristics, abilities, value, and weight permanently. It cannot shift back to its original form. The amount that breaks off is dependent on the perceived value of the Relic, which can be measured with its dubloon value. The slime contains 70 dubloons worth of morphing power, and can be used on multiple Relics with that total value or less - however, the last Relic that is duplicated can put you over the 70 dubloon total, so long as that Relic is worth 70 dublooms or less. This Relic can also copy Relics woth over 70 dubloons, but in that case that Relic would have to be the sole Relic that you copy. Some examples: A : (20)->(30)->(20) = total 70, done. B: (20)->(30)->(40) = total 90, over 70, done.

Words can only be seen on the page when a person reads it alone, and they vanish as that one person reads them. This will take whatever skills the reader possesses and improve them greatly, leaving a blank, non-useful book behind. Mechanically speaking, if you let a companion use it, it would double the specific numeric benefit of their special ability - Khemia would reduce travel costs by 4 days, Cloud would redduce bullet costs by 4 (minimum 1), Cherry would reduce status effect lengths by2, and so on. (It doesn't really affect, say, Khemia's ability to slay monsters so much - he's already trained to nearly the maximum human limits, and if there's a monster he can't defeat, it's more about the monster simply being durable beyond the human body's limits than it is about any imperfections in his fighting sills.) Using it on yourself could help you in your normal life, but probably not very much on your journey - the benefit would be substantially less than that from using it on a companion, anyways. If one person were to read it twice (such as through Kin Shifter), the second use would have no benefit - best to spread it out among multiple companions.

No matter any power of flight, a mysterious force pulls you down. You keep falling for several minutes, through a white, featureless void. You slowly realize that your surroundings aren't as empty as they first appear; the monochrome features merely blend into their surroundings. An Escheresque tangle of impossible and entirely impractical architecture flits past you, filled to the brom with upside-down staircases, recursive loops, and non-euclidean shapes that are difficult to wrap your head around - all of these float in a lonely void, painted in a violent, stark white. Slowly, you feel the directionality of your fall begin to shift, rotate, and before you realize it you're not falling, but running. You slow yourself and take a look at your new surroundings, a maze of disarmingly welcoming hallways loopng back into themselves, doors that lead to nowhere, and rooms too large for the space they occupy. Gravity asserts no dominance this deep in the Abyss, and after just a few minutes of walking, you find yourself back on the ceiling above the floor where you started. Space itself bends to the power of the Abyss, as four left turns around corners don't bring you back to where you started, and walking down the same hallway three times may bring you to three different places. You can feel your sense of time being distorted as well, and as you'll soon discover, it too is twisted and warped here, many different facets of possibility all converging into one point. Space itself becomes your enemy in this layer, and navigation is incredibly difficult. If you're carrying the Star Compass Relic, you may subtract 5 days from all travel costs on this layer, as having a consistent indicator of which way is downward, which way you need to go to reach your destination, is invaluable here. A compass from Outset Town's shop, allowing you to better keep your directional bearings, is also helpful, subtracting 3 days from all travel costs on this layer.

You stand on the cupboard directly over the two man, a small camera relic in hand waiting for the perfect moment. "Are you sure mister Reed won't find out about this ?", " He is very ... unkind to traitors and what you are planning is ... . "He won't find out, the plan is as safe as safe can be, and afterward we'll be richer than he could ever imagine". the two man leave after checking the windows and locking the door and you start your job. You jump down from the cupboard without hurting yourself thanks to your slime-like body and look for the plans on the desk. Once you found them you use your camera to photograph them and crawl back up to the cupboard once again using your slime-like properties. Smiling to yourself you leave through a mousehole. At first, you were devastated by your new body, you tried your best to continue your journey with your small and slimy body but in the end, you had to give up. stranded on the second layer you cursed your fate. You survived the first month by stealing. You ended up getting crushed and squished more times than you can count but always bouncing back once everyone left thanks to your slimy body. After a while, mister Reed approached you with an offer to work as a spy for him. Mister Reed is one of the most dangerous people in the upper layers of the Abyss he has connections reaching all the way up to the surface and some rumors say even down on the fourth layer. After a while you finally make it back to your boss. "Gerard I finally got them" You say presenting him the camera. After working for him for many years now you are on a first-name basis with him."Oh just what i was expecting i take it you have undeniable proof ?"."Of course who do you think I am, some amateur?", "They were cunning though, it took weeks to find their headquarter". "Well you did well. As always, I might add. You should take a break before heading out again." He says. "I would really like to get my hands on whatever they were try to steal in the end".You muse. "And I need to prepare a fitting punishment for them... Did they really think they could get away with trying to pin the blame on me for whatever they were after, fools..". You just shrug your shoulders and leave. What happens next is none of your business, as long as you get paid you are happy. In the end you started to understand why some people call curses a blessing.
