User blog:JeielYozama/Jeiel Yozama - THE STORY SO FAR---

''Ohaiyo minna! This includes Jeiel's story from the very beginning of his entry into the Mamono Realm, to his current involvement in the RPs. Please, if there's any queries, hang-ups or problems, lemme know on the comments section. Well.. here we go.''

.............. So begins this tale...

Lore:

Jeiel was an orphan who by some strange twist of fate, grew up in a household of adopted siblings in the Philippines. Not knowing who his real parents were, he lived a frugal life dreaming big as a scientist. Graduating top of his class at a young age (he was thus labeled as a 'real piece of work'), he wound up working as a researcher of natural life in his own college, then prior to invitation by his college sweetheart and childhood friend Ana Menshikovnia, became a cryptozoologist. For three years, he indulged in this strange profession, until Ana stumbles upon a discovery : all cryptid sightings from around the world have a link to the other side of the world, past the heart of the Pacific. Jeiel senses a particular uneasiness with her plan and plans to stop her, but Ana’ s obvious tenacity made him concede. She left to pursue her goal, promising to return in a week’ s time. The weeks turned to months, and there was no sign or report of her. Troubled, Jeiel traced her footsteps despite his colleagues’ plea not to act rash. He boards a ship named S.S. PROMISE and leaves the mainland.



As soon as the harbor fades from view, the ship is caught in a fleeting sea squall, causing it to veer close to the area known as the Bermuda Triangle. A nearby cyclone violently splits it apart, all its crew and passengers flung into open water including Jeiel. He was the only one who miraculously survives the tragedy. 2 days later, he wakes up in a desolate beach. It was ­ his first landing in Monstrum Regnis (the Mamono Realm).

Jeiel’ s arrival was greeted by the lovelorn Slime Sebyl, who informs him of his whereabouts­ just before she attempts to rape him. Jeiel could've been swallowed by the Slime nonetheless, had he not thought of dumping himself and her enveloping body on seawater. Afterwards, Jeiel recieves visions of Ana in the monster ­ infested capital of Lescatie. Mistaking him as a Hero (only Heroes are shown visions from the Gods, he had heard), Sebyl decides to stick to him as his guide to the MR, affectionately calling him ‘ cutie master’.



After this event, Jeiel travels to Dulcis, a town that hosts an underground blackmarket of goods from beyond MR. It is here that Jeiel unwittingly gains possession of the ArcanSaw -a hybrid sword of Demon Realm silver and actual silver. When he sees that it has the the profound power to rip out the flow of energy in any being it severs through, he pockets it knowing that anyone else obtaining it may get other ideas. During a thwarting of Sebyl's near rape incident, Jeiel clears a misunderstanding between a rival Hornet mafia and Honey Bee gang, which was stirred up by the black furred Grizzly Ersha. Jeiel then decides she joins him and Sebyl, and out of admiration, the Mamono labels him as her 'honey'.



<p class="MsoNormal">From this time on, Jeiel end up in hopeless escapades, trying to avert the advances of men-hungry Mamonos while catering to the precarious whines of both Sebyl and Ersha for his affection.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">In a certain town named Malgkina, however, where Sebyl notes she grew up under the care of human parents, Jeiel comes across a library of parchments and scrolls belonging to the magus named Senev. As he opened a glowing scroll calling out to him, he was marked with a blazing insignia, which was gave him the title <span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">‘ Strider of Senev<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s Paths<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">’. Sebyl, who had studied these scrolls up to the time she met Jeiel, explains it to be a part of Senev<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">’ s age old prophecy:

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">‘ The Strider who treads upon seven paths, seven sins brought by the chains of fate, will emerge as one who will have the resilience against Mamonokind and drive the darkness that will plunge Monstrum Regnis into chaos. A treasure will fall in his hands, and the worlds will fall, lest a single soul is shattered in seventhtwine.<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">‘

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Sebyl later notices that Jeiel has the strange ability of <span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">‘ resisting<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">’ Mamono charm no matter what form it manifests. This was explained why at their first meeting, Jeiel didn't fully succumb to the rapture of her slime. She said that Senev, too, had that weird ability.

<p class="MsoNormal">Using the insignia, Jeiel unlocks a scroll pertaining to a magic named Allegiance. This lost magic form was precedented to be dangerous and can harm a user and its covenant elemental, since this is not made through a covenant but through the forceful gain of DE in exhange for the mage<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s raw SE. Sebyl decides to teach Jeiel how to formally hone his magic potential to give him the ability to defend himself, and when the chance presented that he came across the elementals left behind by the former hero Struthenreich (who was Sebyl<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">’ s father as she soon discovers) he becomes a covenanter through an incomplete mastery of Allegiance. Ersha and Sebyl both, awaken as members of the Paths and his followers.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">A incident in the wastes of Almaou gives Jeiel and the girls their first meet with their future foe: the Red Mindflayer and Brainjacker, Alcamarie Tethis. At first, they would have assumed her as a normal Mamono -until she blasts at Sebyl and demands Jeiel submit himself to her "for a cause that will shake the foundations of the Monster Realm". When Jeiel decides no, she attacks violently, but thanks to Jeiel's Resilience and Allegiance and the combined effort of Ersha and Sebyl she is driven to a point of retreat. Before leaving, Jeiel learns that Alcamarie wants him for his unique abilities, not as a candidate for husbandry but as a 'weapon' for the invasion plan of her home world --- the chaotic abyss beneath the sea.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">After this, Jeiel begins to feel troubled by the idea someone is now after his head. Branching of from several other 'near rape' incidents, he enters the fisher's village Galeah where a tower rose in its very center and an ill-ridden king asks for men to search for his dog. His and the girls' accidental wandering to give the dog back soon lead them further into the tower, and Jeiel discovers it holds a secret: an Apsara is locked in a room by the tower's highest floor, her whole life spent like a caged bird. Named as Ansherine, she and Jeiel become friends. He soon learns that due to a gift that drew men to her, she was banned to leave the tower. Jeiel decides enough and much to Ansherine's shock he liberates her, promising to be her guardian. The Apsara accepts, having developed a crush for him, and calls him her senior (Sempai).

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">And thus, Ansherine the Apsara joins the group. She is discovered as the third Path.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">In an isolated part of MR, Jeiel is caught in an unfortunate trap by a pack of wandering Goblins. Their leader, a Hobgoblin named Harllin, had long been attracted to Jeiel after hearing from her Goblin subordinate who sold Jeiel ArcanSaw in Dulcis. As he was eventually penned, he gains the servitude of an indebted Holstaur who was chained in such an absurd way, Jeiel couldn't believe a meek Mamono like her should be maltreated that way. Jeiel was soon proven wrong, because as he freed Sebyl, Ersha and Ansherine, Haia battled a group of Onis single-handedly and made Harllin beg for her wee life. It had turned out, she was insanely strong for a Holstaur. Immediately after, Haia develops the Path mark and she follows after her 'Jeiel-sama', believing he would help her find the culprit behind the murder of her adoptive father.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Boarding a seafaring vessel, Jeiel and the four girls decide to see some sights on water for a change of pace. Aboard The Helen, Jeiel meets a Sea Bishop named Anaise. A boy she liked by the name of Alseif Mendelev was to be wedded to another Mamono, and she was being unsure of herself as to whether she was to intervene in his ceremony of union with her beloved. When Jeiel puts it upon himself to help in the situation, Anaise borrows him from the Paths (discreetly) and makes him act as her lover. The event soon spirals to Jeiel and Anaise pulling off a fake wedding, but just as it was about to become real, the Paths and Alseif both raise their objection. Jeiel bridges for Anaise and Alseif and as the two reveal their true emotions, the misunderstanding is cleared. Permanently scarred on weddings, Jeiel wonders to himself if his future wedding would go into the same period of turmoil <span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">– while the Paths began to wonder if the man will indeed, <span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">‘ tie the knot<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">’ with any of them.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">A few Mamono encounters later, Jeiel and the girls land in Zipangu-- the place where men and Mamono live in hamony. As most of the girls resolved to look around and relax after all the mayhem, Jeiel meets the underlord of that side of the town : a boy named Earl Arukness and his Nurarihyon wife Mitsuha. He had heard of Jeiel's growing identity as the Mamono-rejecting Outlander, so he asks him a favor of uncovering the secret why the hot springs of their town had been debilitated.

<p class="MsoNormal">Turns out, in Sepine Mountains where the water would come from a recent earthquake caused rocks to cave in and block the water source. Jeiel travels to the plugged area, but he didn't know that the earthquake woke up an ancient, undiscovered Mamono called a Balrog. She subsequently attacks Jeiel in a fit of instinct. Jeiel manages his way around the mess -- and in an impasse, he calms down the stressed Balrog (who apparently, had no liking for her sudden awakening). Jeiel nicknames her Bellona (as her ancient name Baalamellona was too masculine, he pinpoints), and with her help, does the deed in time for the annual Lantern Festival.

<p class="MsoNormal">Jeiel had plans to leave Bellona under Earl's care, but the girl insisted on tagging along her 'Jeiel-dono'. Jeiel is stunned however, as she explains she has mark that seemed to draw her to him. It was, undoubtedly, a Path Mark. Thus, a new ally is gained, and Haia gains a new companion in her path of servitude. Jeiel leaves for the Mist Regions.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">In the ancient region of mysticism, Jeiel encounters Ersha's older step sister -- the fickle Ren Xiongmao Chao Ni Ran. Chao detains Ersha purposively and tells her she must pass her test before she could leave the home she was exiled from once more. Amidst that difficulty, Jeiel supports her all the way. Meanwhile, the othe Paths stumble upon the repeated attacks of aggressive Jiang Shis in a human settlement without taking men, which are actually the vile efforts of Lleh Eht D'lrow, the white furred Baphomet, to create a doomsday device against Lescatie. They push her back, in time for Ersha to repossess what has been promised to her; the holy spear Dharmuid. Leah withdraws on the territory she managed to seize from the locality, but Chao Ran knows the current strength of Jeiel's team won't be enough to stop her.

<p class="MsoNormal">Despite knowing Allegiance, Jeiel still knows an abrupt little on how to fully extend the length of its power. To do this, he is instructed by Chao Ran to go deep into the mind of each of his covenant elementals, who each explain their views of him and their view of Allegiance. Inside, he's undergoing training but outside, the Paths are being assaulted by Witches under the banner of Leah the Baphomet, protecting his body. By the time Jeiel completes his training, Jeiel hones the second step, Duality, and he pins Lleh into questioning her why are Mamonos she leading acting aggressive, and why is she making a device of destruction against the Mamono Capital. Leah doesn't answer and instead, escapes. The Mist Region villagers are overjoyed. But more questions pop in Jeiel's mind.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">After the episode on the mountains, Jeiel is confonted, left and right by a newer form of adversary: aggressive Mamonos trying to kill him. With his days becoming increasingly rambunctious, it doesn't surprise him when a nameless Cheshire Cat pops up before him and whisks him and the Paths to perverted Wonderland via rabbit-hole. The teleportation spell turns haywire, however, and Jeiel is separated from the other Paths. With but the Cheshire Cat as company, he is escorted to meet the Queen of Hearts, proclaimed leader of the erotical paradise. Along the way, Jeiel becomes a near victim of a Mamono tea party and befriends an older Outlander (from the world outside MR) named Bill Basonett and his girlfriends Lauri, an Alice, and Lapis, a March Hare. All of this, the Cheshire watches with interest sparkling in her eyes.

<p class="MsoNormal">Jeiel soon reaches the palace of the QoH, to which he reunites with the Paths. The Cheshire Cat then explains Lustia (the QoH's name) is gravely ill with boredom, and so she requested for the presence of the so-called 'Outlander' to entertain her. Jeiel is clueless on what to even do, but as the girls found Lustia cute, they insisted to stay and accompany her. Jeiel agrees, but while the Paths were in charge of lightening Lustia's melancholy, he and the Cheshire investigated the true cause of the QoH's sickness. Thanks to the involvement of the Tea Party Three (who are the Cheshire's cousins and are the ones who were close in raping Jeiel) they rule out the culprit to be a Trumpart who would service the Queen her meals. It was revealed, she is a spy of Alcamarie sent to poison her master. A brawl erupts between Jeiel, the Paths, the Queen's retainers and the Wonderland spies of Alcamarie. Again, Jeiel drives the darkess out of them, and he is more than convinced that he is somehow, being stopped from reaching Lescatie. This pushes him even more to find Ana Menshikovnia there.

<p class="MsoNormal">Jeiel finds the antidote to the Queen's sickness and in no time, she makes a full recovery. Before leaving Wonderland, Lustia (who turns out to be an absolute ninny and attention-seeker with her melancholy gone) entrusts the nameless Cheshire Cat to him, saying he deserves her for the help he had done for the realm. Jeiel couldn't say no, as the Cheshire herself admits she wants to be Jeiel's wife and 'feel more of him'(to this, Jeiel's nose bled to a critical level). Jeiel give her the name Nunnally - a sort of anime character's name - and she is soon revealed as the sixth Path. Nunna then subsequently tells him that the name rings with familiarity to her, most probably because her aunt Lustia (QoH was her aunt, much to Jeiel's dismay) usually calls her with the pet name Nana.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Now stuck with 6 Mamonos tailing after him, Jeiel's mission to find Ana is still the same. At the same time, he is constantly visited by the six-winged Angel Azrafil who explains she is the purveyor of the Strider of Senev's Paths and that he should fulfill the prophecy. Jeiel is fully aware it, but he passes the Angel a message to the Chief God: that he is yet to attain what he had traveled so far to find. Azrafil decides to remain hidden and watch Jeiel at a distance, and at the same time, guides him into entering the Mamono-infested zones of MR.

<p class="MsoNormal"> Following the trail of where Ana was last sighted by the QoH, Jeiel is soon requested a presence before the Lilims Ilassa and Mari at the shaded county of Darclite. Apparently, even the daughters of the Demon Lords have heard of him, and as such they have come to ask Jeiel a favor: to get to the bottom of how Mamonos have been turning aggressive. Lescatie has been silent, and they are unable to determine what had happened to its ruler, Deruella, their sister.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">At the snowy regions of the Mamono Realm, where Jeiel and the Paths are forced to traverse under the pretense of a roadblock, the Strider of Senev is suddenly left with Haia and Ansherine after a blizzard cuts them off. With the other girls nowhere to be seen, Jeiel soon falls prey to the blistering cold and the two Mamonos shelter his weakened state and themselves in a fallen cave. Unknown to them, the poison that had previously affected the QoH begins to unravel within him in his slumber. As he wakes up hours later, the three had been delivered by the Wendigo Weyla to the ice palace Las Niebes, where the Ice Queen Khione reigned supreme.

<p class="MsoNormal">In spite of her cold exterior, Khione is warm enough to accept their reason of being in the mountains of her territory, and is quick to notice the disorder happening inside Jeiel. She offers to treat him from his illness, having found that they have no possession of the antidote they had given to QoH before. Haia and Ansherine agree without delay. While Jeiel undergoes a silent reveal of his life before the Mamono Realm <span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">– the cause of his immediate depression -  Haia and Ansherine set it upon themselves to find the rest of the Paths. With Weyla the Wendigo and the northerner Eddis Thork, they soon find the other girls under attack : Mamonos controlled by Alcamarie as her personal soldiers have placed Sebyl, Ersha, Nunnally and Bellona in a debilitating stand. Haia and Ansherine join the fray and barely stop their attacks. The aggressors, however, decide to retreat, as if to say that what the girls had experienced was only the beginning.

<p class="MsoNormal">Jeiel is soon met in a better state, but Khione warns him that there are still some parts of himself he is yet to resolve. Jeiel silently agrees with the Ice Queen and leaves with a respectable bow. He ignores the prying questions of the Paths, believing that if he were to tell them anything it would just trouble them further.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Jeiel and the Paths then take a detour to the desert regions with the help of Ilassa, and after careless spelunking and a near rape by an Apophis and Pharaoh, reach the oasisdom of Deesully. Jeiel's plan to lay low fails at the advent of a Nunnally-related mishap. He unwittingly embarrasses Cybele, a charming young Troll and daughter of the kingdom chieftain Damacleus, revered as a priestess of the Earth. After which being called a lecher, she arrests Jeiel as punishment for his indecent act. The Paths are told to stand down as he is dragged to meet her (meanwhile, Sebyl manages to sneak in with him, undiscovered).

<p class="MsoNormal">As it turned out, Cybele has a tsundere personality that stemmed from the attention being placed upon her, and she wanted Jeiel (the Outlander known for the many Mamonos he 'subjugated') to coach her on how to better present herself to a certain boy (as well as advice on how to act more feminine). Jeiel then agrees to help on the condition that she is to give him a faster way of traversing the desert region. At this, Cybele and Jeiel strike a deal.

<p class="MsoNormal">Jeiel discovers the true reason why Cybele was Deesully's priestess, after she demonstrates it to him: she could control and communicate to the bounties of Earth itself. Jeiel was awed instead of shocked on what she was capable of - which raised Cybele's opinion of him. Over time a mutual friendship bloomed between them, although she still was tsundere whenever they interacted.

<p class="MsoNormal">When time came and Cybele confessed to the person she admired, Jeiel smelled a rat. It turns out he was right: the boy was a philandering bumpkin and a two-timer who just wanted to hang out Cybele to raise his social status. When Cybele found herself close to being molested, Jeiel and a hiding Sebyl intervene and cause him to scram fo his life.

<p class="MsoNormal">Just then, the boy is possessed by a Ghost (an operative of Lleh) and much to Deesully's horror, he rallies armies of the sleeping sand kingdom of Nazar against them. Damacleus tells everyone to retreat, but Cybele intends to stand and fight. It takes moments later before Jeiel and the Paths step in to even the odds and knock the boy back to his senses. It is here that Cybele realizes she had fallen for Jeiel, and that Lleh's orders come from one place and one place alone: Lescatie.

<p class="MsoNormal">Damacleus thanks Jeiel for his help. After making one final stop to the Shrine of Deesully (which hosted the image of their patron Reya whom Jeiel struck as awkwardly familiar) and recieving the blessing of its priestess Cybele, he and the Paths go on their way. It was then they realize that Cybele had snuck in as a stowaway with the package that Deesully gifted them. Cybele said that without her they wouldn't find their way out of the desert, and it was plain obvious she wanted to stay by Jeiel's side. Before long, Cybele's tail manifests the insignia of the Paths, marking her the seventh.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">As soon as they make it out of the desert, Jeiel and co. arrive at the countryside of Raviol to put themselves at ease, where they are befriended by Jared Shale, the Kobold Eri, the Hellhound Momus and the Cu Sith Snowball. Jared relays info he hears about Lescatie being unable to deploy its armies for quite some time, which arouses Jeiel suspicion. In the same time, Jared clashes heads with the (actual) Hero of the Order Marden Bale --- the Mark Maker ---and his girlfriends Ryla (a Dragon who Sebyl discovers to be her sister), Ada, (a Wurm), and Zmey (a Chimaera). Despite the two having reverse personas of one another Jeiel coaxes them to get along.

<p class="MsoNormal">The peace of Raviol is soon shaken by the arrival of soldiers from the Demon Lord's Army, led by Lleh and the Lilim draped in the Dark Shroud, Shauna. The Paths are overpowered by Mamonos twisted under Lleh's command, and in the process, Jeiel fits the pieces together: Lleh and Shauna are both under the manipulation of Alcamarie, and since they are from Lescatie, then the Mindflayer has taken control of the Mamono Capital. In fear of the Strider of Senev's Paths interference to their plans, Jeiel is banished into the fallen realm Pandemonium. Eri and Ryla are taken by the enemy, and the girls are gravely injured.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">In Pandemonium, Jeiel stumbles into the Church of the Malignant St. Umbert (by literally, falling on the roof), much to the delight of its inhabitants, the Umbertian Dark Priests. Close to being raped by the sex-starved women, the Fallen God suddenly pops in the middle of the ruckus. She had sensed the presence of a powerful mage enter her domain and wanted to confirm it for herself.

<p class="MsoNormal">Jeiel begs the Fallen Goddess to be returned to MR, but Nyarrcathotep (the FG) senses something amiss with Jeiel, so she puts him to the test. Jeiel endures a grueling two days of trial wherein he was forced to fight a hallowed version of himself and the Paths. To this, he learns his problem: he had been afraid of accepting who he is, and accepting the fact that the reason why the girls had chosen to be by his side was because they all have feelings for him.

<p class="MsoNormal">At the end of his struggle, Jeiel unlocks Allegiance: Tetrarchy, combining the power of his 4 Elementals to summon the divine element aether. Owing eternal gratitude to the FG (who playfully asks to be an honorable guest to Jeiel's future 'wedding'), Jeiel is given a secret passage out of Pandemonium.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Jeiel discovers the span of time that revolved in the fallen realm<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s cathedral was different than what he had expected, for what he thought was 3 days had been 3 weeks. As he desperately heads to Raviol, he meets the acclaimed Saphirette Spherica, who had taken interest in him because even though he was a covenanter, he had remained pure and his Elementals untainted. Jeiel soon sees her being pursued by Lleh's units, and after protecting her as she retrieved documents from the tree-top city of Aves Marzia, she gives Jeiel a little 'boost' before he left to find the Paths.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Jeiel reaches Raviol only to see Jared and Marden greeting him in shock. The bad news soon hits him hard the Paths had been nabbed by the army of Lescatie, in their desparation of finding Jeiel. He decides to infiltrate Lescatie alone, but both Jared and Marden aren't keen on letting him go without their help. Jared and Marden take the side paths to Lescatie while Jeiel himself heads to its front door with the Angel, Azrafil, and her subordinate Elene, the Valkyrie. The 'Corrupted Brides', women transformed into Mamono from Lescatie, all make various attempts to foil his plans, yet Jeiel shoulders on until he breaks through the front door of the Mamono Capital.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Jeiel is soon captured by Alcamarie's forces in the fully-twisted cityscape and is made to face her. She does not reveal the whereabouts of the Paths, but she reveals to him that their capture, and the encounters of him and her puppets are not without the assistance of her spy--- Bellona the Balrog. She admits that her bearing a Path's mark is an elaborate lie, and she had long controlled her even before they were acquainted in Zipangu.

<p class="MsoNormal">Jeiel then discerns the Mindflayer's true intentions: to siphon his Resilience in her plan to annex the surface world of MR to the domain of the abyss demons, and break the barrier separating the land of monsters from the Outlands (Jeiel's world). Lescatie was to be her stepping stone, Druella was to be her puppet in getting to the Demon Lord, and once she rids of Jeiel's abilities all will fall in her control.

<p class="MsoNormal">Jeiel and Bellona are made to duel, with the Mamono specifically ordered to take Allegiance and Resilience out of the man. Despite his weakened state, Jeiel holds on with the intention of bringing her back to his side. It was when he stubbornly insisted Bellona is precious to him, that she snapped and Alcamarie's hold on her ceased. Together, they found the captive Paths and the final battle began on the streets of Lescatie.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">With the timely entry of Jared Shale and Marden Bale, Jeiel clashes with the mind-snared monsters of Lleh and Shauna's army. Amidst the chaos, Jeiel unleashes a higher path of Allegiance named Fides, drawing power from the six Paths to incapacitate the Fallen Hero Elt, the Corrupted Brides and Druella who are all acting under the control of the Mindflayer. Alcamarie's inglorious plan is foiled, pushing her to the point of retreat. Her mind control gone, Lescatie honors him soundly and he was hailed a hero.

<p class="MsoNormal">In a live party and audience with Druella, he recieves information that Ana Menshikovnia was indeed in Lescatie, working as a researcher under her supervision right before she was taken away in the brainwashing. Despite her offer of him staying to be the capital's protector, Jeiel thanks the 4th princess of the MR and bades farewell.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Knowing that he is still being sought for by Alcamarie, Jeiel comes across information about a hidden plane of magic named Oz, and so he goes there by himself to learn on how to control the magic form Fides while the Paths remained in the outside realm in Raviol, keeping a tight watch on the Mindflayer<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s actions. Prior to entering it, however, Jeiel solves a mystery in the resort town Clemence with mercenary Isaac Kifer and the traveler Renol or 'Red', while tapping into a corrupted power within himself and  discovering a deeper mystery into Senev's prophecy known as the Dance of Dynasties.

<p class="MsoNormal">In Oz, the tyrannical dictator of the Emerald City, the Circe of Oz, learns of Jeiel<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s appearance and his famed Resilience, and for six months, she relentlessly pursued him to take hisability for herself. Jeiel decides to broker her a deal <span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">­ since he is a researcher back in the human world, he would work as her in<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">­ detail chronicler (and in turn, leave matters of politicalresettlement on to him). In exchange, he would be given access to Oz's vast knowledge in magical harnessing -- <span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">­ the one thing Jeiel needs to leash Fides and ultimately master Allegiance. Circe accepts, although there was reluctance in her part.

<p class="MsoNormal">In spite of his lingering in Oz, Jeiel frequents back to MR to visit the Paths and report his progress (as well as keep an eye on them). He meets Cire Hominac, the Lord of Snakes, and the primordial Reptile King who offers him homage in a place better known as the Reptile Kingdom (where he meets and acquaints with a clingy yet adorably sweet Indominus Mamono named Blances). And as per request of Doctor Ibrahim of Whitemarch and his protectorate Praetor (a former warrior of the Order), he then teleports to Oz planning an expedition on its many Golem species. Things take a turn for the worst as he finds Circe is preparing to invade the outside realm beyond Oz.

<p class="MsoNormal">With the help of Tack (the Lord of Snakes' undead Basilisk consort), Doctor Ibrahim and Praetor (and intervention courtesy of the Reptile King), Circe's plan to gain the Spear of Oz and suck the magic out of the land to destroy Oz's invisible barrier were thwarted, and from the shadows an Ozian Witch ally reveals herself to be the lost ruler of Oz, Ozma Magdalene, who reclaims the Spear as her birthright and imprisons her in obsidian. Oz is liberated from its tyrant. Following the aftermath, a brief scuffle happens as the Reptile King expresses his aim to conquer Oz. Offering two choices <span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">­ as to either Ozma submits the realm willingly to him and he places Jeiel as its steward and ruler, or there will be a war between his army and Oz<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s, Ozma concedes to the first. She then asks for one thing: to be married to the new ruler.

<p class="MsoNormal">Even before his coronation could officially take place, Jeiel undergoes a grueling task to restore Oz to the way it was in the past, naming it NeoOz as a sign of its future prosperity.

<p class="MsoNormal">Due to the rush of events that conspired, he had failed to tell the Paths what happened to him. The girls (who uncover the truth for themselves) appear in the midst of Jeiel<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s bachelor party where they promptly embarrass him, much to the amusement of Jared and Marden, guest of honor at the event, and the many other identities in the event.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Ominous events begin to appear as a school intending to host Mamono hailing from the underland called the Naether experiences its students turning berserk. This was caused by a person named Nathan Mika, who had been unwittingly pulled out of the man named Nathan Mais and had decadent intentions to return the Mamono Realm to an age of darkness. His actions brought the death of Jeiel's friend and elder, Septius Canaveral, and he had to calm down the rampage of his wife, Matris the Ozian Lioness. In another end, the Oblation Golem Lin Ai (who was rewired by Doctor Ibrahim and had become a loyal servant to Jeiel, calling him Goshujin) and Tack join forces in foiling the Gnome King's plans of power, but at the same time, witnesses the impeding resurrection of Circe as a wandering spirit.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Jeiel soon sends invites to everyone come the day of his wedding with Ozma (which was met with conflicted feelings from the Paths). Pleasantries and conflicts aside, the arrival of Druella amidst the stream of dignitaries causes the warrior Praetor to run blindly into killing her. This was because destruction and loss of his hometown was because of her. He is given a hasty exit courtesy of Cire Hominac, ruining the joyful mood of the party.

<p class="MsoNormal">Druella and Princess Langwidere of the neighboring country of Ix admit that they have pressing urges to inform: <span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">­ the vaporous from of Circe has been instilling chaos, and if not stopped, she may as well wreck havoc in MR itself. Jeiel decides to ultimately end her the day after his wedding to resolve the matter at once. The night after, everything is shaken by revelations leading to Ozma awakening as the 7th Path --completing the prophecy and reviving the lines that Jeiel had forgotten -- Circe remanifests and possesses Jeiel as he is shaken by his shaken feelings, and taking advantage of the event, she uses his Allegiance to envelop Emerald City in a sea of fire. The efforts of Hakaishin Aro (a  Hakaishin or world-destroyer), the Mamono of Nope Industries from the town of Jundex, Cire Hominac the Lord of Snakes and the other guests drive off the Naether Mamonos manipulated by Circe, while she herself is defeated by the entity known as Victivius and is torn apart by Jeiel and the Paths. On the same day, Jeiel is married to the Paths, Bellona and Blances <span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">­ as  a sign that his war with the tyrant of Oz has come to an end.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">On the day that Circe was shattered, however, she had lingered in Jeiel's mind as a single consciousness split into a hundred little versions of herself. When Jeiel proceeded to eliminate all, he spared one on the context that he did not want to kill her, and saw how she wanted to throw her life away. Jeiel makes her a deal -- that she will be spared and that she will live on, but in return she will be the curator of Jeiel's powers. Since that day, Circe had turned into Jeiel's ally and was his conscience ever since.

<p class="MsoNormal">Things settled down for a few days after the wedding. Jeiel and his 'Queens' had all started to make their consecutive moves, clearing up damage in NeoOz and restoring order. In these times, patches of sunshine came in the form of the children -- Lailani the Slime Carrier who came to be Sebyl's beloved daughter, Anastasia the Ticktock who although acted cheeky was someone who cared for everyone she treated as a family, and Aaron, a emotive boy entrusted to Jeiel's care by a friend. And in a tea party that the Paths held and was in a precipice of becoming a disaster, laughs and joy floated among the close bond of friends. Jeiel hadn't forgotten his desire to find Ana, so he still pulls out all stops in finding her whereabouts ---especially since clues he obtained lead to the realm of night and mysticism, Filiphilos.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">But the terrible times hadn't ended. Jeiel encountered the case of the Outlander Fritz who was there when the successor to the imprisoned Gnome King had her sights on disrupting the fragile Mireur (the link between Oz and other connected realms). Cire Hominac nearly had a life-and-death situation in his visit of the Naether realm after the plane-traveling Nathan Mika incited the gradual collapse of the World Trees that held NeoOz and Naether together.

<p class="MsoNormal">The darkest section in Jeiel's life appears when Alcamarie makes a comeback -and she steals the power of an ancient force known as the Crucible from the shadow-lord Victivius to obtain what is known as the Glyph from Doctor Ibrahim and his family of Golems. NeoOz becomes a battlefield and amidst the shattered ruins, all of Jeiel's wives revert to their primordial, monster selves. Jeiel sacrifices himself to bring them to normal and is left incapacitated. He recuperates, and he later drives the invading forces out of NeoOz. He and the Queens manage to push Alcamarie into a corner but she escapes in a bright flash, mentioning that her plans are coming to frutition.

<p class="MsoNormal">Jeiel soon realizes that something happened when he had fallen that day on the wastes of NeoOz. Matris had given birth to a boy who harbored features of him, which he found was Septius' doing. He used a surviving gene of Jeiel to create the baby since he himself, couldn't give her a child. At this, Jeiel was told of the truth of who he was : that he isn't human, but a forgotten weapon and a created existence.

<p class="MsoNormal">Still, Jeiel went and met Praetor, who had resided in Whitemarch and had believed Jeiel sullied the memory of Septius through the birth of Matris' boy (named Ollivander). Jeiel wanted the matter to be cleared, and that he would explain the reason why Anicca Ferrum, the Tin Woodsman Mamono who was in love with him, returned to NeoOz in tears after admitting she had 'failed' him. Praetor's beliefs were clear, and so a battle erupted between them. Jeiel's reasoning fell into the water; in a rage of a creature that woke within him he had inflicted death upon his undying friend. He was frozen in shock, but Circe had coaxed him to run, fearing the rage of Praetor once he restores himself. Out of desparation and his desire to end the cycle of sorrow he had sowed, he then formulates a decision that would change his fate : that he change everything that had unfolded.

<p class="MsoNormal">After mulling over his plan, admitting his plans of marriage to his Monette teacher and confidante Ojo (who was assigned to be his close mentor in everything Ozian after he, HakaishinAro and Cire had a misadventure in a parallel Earth), and joining a humanoid named K'eth in a deathy request to dive into Pandemonium to retrieve answers from the Library of Souls (Index Librorum Prohibitorum) that goes horribly wrong, Jeiel goes into another part of Whitemarch to meet with Doctor Ibrahim. With his direction, Jeiel is given an audience before the entity Victivius, and he asks for time to be rewritten in a way that past events of great grief never happened. Victivius agrees, but the payment was to be a child of darkness, Circe, the traitor who squandered the power he gave her --and his death.

<p class="MsoNormal">In front of the Paths who had been summoned that day, Jeiel was struck down by the Lich's blade. At that same day, he was reborn as a new person, who was still him yet at the same time, was a changed individual. The deal had also revived Septius from his death, but not as who he was. The Septius who came to Whitemarch with his black Lioness wife Matris was the bounty hunter he was 10 years ago, and he now had a bounty on Jeiel's head, as well as all those connected to him.

<p class="MsoNormal">Jeiel and Ibrahim narrowly avoided capture. A Naether Mamono name Slender named Nwa saved them from Septius, and was injured critically in the process. Her presence confirmed a bad omen - that the Naether was slowly falling and that the tree that held it up, the Bleeding Tree, was losing power thanks to Nathan Mika's cruel connivance. He and Ibrahim return the Mamono home and they could only watch as a cruel choice was done to save the tree from crumbling faster.

<p class="MsoNormal">Jeiel's affair in Whitemarch resulted to his banishment by its leader, the Demon Adelaide, and the Night Watch. He could only accept it as is, as he believed that by moving his world away from his friends will not drag them further into his problems. He makes one last visit to Jundex, home to the Nope Industries, where he meets and crushes on a Athena Mamono named Candice and goes through a perplexing issue about a changing Blances before arranging his plans in finding Ana again.
