Guide to the Netherworld!

Almaz' Guide to the Netherworld!

Introduction

Welcome to the Netherworld! Netherworld Academy, not to be confused with Netherworld Academy Evil Institute though.

It is unfortunate you now have a huge debt, it's also unfair, but because this is the Netherworld there's not much you can do about it but try and pay it off, or complete the story but that might take a while. You can also try and level up and defeat the Overlord Dean, but that will probably be harder than it's worth since I'm sure he's over 100 even without stronger enemy bills passed.

What is this place?

This is a Netherworld. A Netherworld is a place where demons live. Though, these are probably not the sort of demons you know, if they are the sort of demons you do know you probably already know what's going on or the mechanics feel familiar enough to figure it out. For everyone else, the Netherworld is a place that is usually connected to a Human world. I think anyway. I only really know my world and my worlds Netherworld. But I do know there are multiple Netherworlds connected together!

oh yeah.

So what is the dimensional guide thing?

The dimensional guide is the person who can use the dimensional transport! It sends you to different parts of the Netherworld. I think it's also how they got us all here. It's hard to use so you can't go anywhere without someone to use it. Since it's an NPC thing always, don't count on learning how. But you can probably ask them to go to various local places, and maybe meet new people if you pass the right bills.

What is the point of "bills"?

Bills are passed by the Student Council, or senate or whatever they're called here.... You can get lots of stuff through them. Like you can get more expensive items from the store, or you can get more people to help you out in battles, you can get stronger enemies or access to different locations. Pretty much anything you might want.

They keep denying me! How can I get anything if they hate me so much?

Well... you can always try again, level up more, level up your items and see if they like you more later? Try getting more people to help you out too. Though you can force a bill... I wouldn't recommend it. It just seems like you're being a sore loser. Ah... but if it's really really important there is a way to do it....

What are you talking about get more levels?

Go fight enemies till your stats are increased and your level is higher.


They look like that!

You never did say much about demons themselves.

They're not that different from humans, actually they're a lot less complicated. They pride themselves on being "evil" but it's not really an evil evil, it's sort of like being bad but not horrible.... I guess it's like always being tundere?

So where do I go level anyway? And what about making my items stronger?

You could talk to the dimensional guide to go somewhere, but to make your items stronger you need to talk to the person who manages the Item World, choose the item to go inside and then... fight your way through.


It looks like this, oh and sometimes there's pirates. Though I guess that's not technically the right place... Oh well looks close enough.

Conclusion

Uh... well if there's any questions I'll try and answer them! I've never tried to make a guide before.

(OOC: If you think it needs a cut just tell me and I'll put it behind one! I wasn't sure if i should or not and decided to try it uncut first.)

Wait! WAIT! WAIT!




Since when were there pirates involved?! I wasn't told about pirates or ways to make items stronger! Oh man, I need to get a party prepared A.S.A.P. because that sounds like an adventure waiting to happen!

[highsodiumfreak]

...pirates.

[Every day he spends in this place he grows less and less sure that this isn't some kind of hallucination.]

[mooned_hime]

I'll be sure to leave the hard work for heroes like you!

[notjustinthemirror]

Demon's aren't less complicated, they just make more sense.

[He is offended by your base accusations!]

[beryls_lackey]

[Kyoko claps when Almaz is finished.]

That was very good Mr. Hero! This will help many people who don't fully understand how the system works.

[gotmyending]

Wait. So. Okay. So we go out, we kill enemies and stuff? Do we gotta... form a party? Someone brings their bow, someone brings their axe, that sorta thing?

[ceasetoexist]

When you say go into items, you mean like any items would be possible to go into?

[justicekicker]

Fantastic and well-thought out, Almaz! Your helpfulness is the mark of a true hero! Justice commendation!

[Applause.]

With two heroes around, this'll be cake!

[high_on_daylight]

... I will have to acquire some good minions before I start running Item Worlds, then, I guess.

[nolieking]

To have acquired that picture without our noticing, in the Item World, no less... Hero Almaz, are you affiliated with the corrupternment?

[mangohexen]

What happens if you go in a doujin? Do beating up the demons in there alter the story?

[Malga looks serious business. Albeit twinkling eye serious business.]

[rose_liberated]

If you are so knowledgeable about the Item World, then answer me this!

If someone here had a tiny shrunken castle, and we improved it's stats, would it be better furnished?

[cutestsuperweapon]

I don't get it at all. I don't want anyone to go into my keystaff!

[evil_administration]

Now while I applaud your attempt to help out your fellow students, I would be entirely without any sort of dignity if I didn't point out that a lot of what you say is rather... irrelevant here.

You are probably not aware of this, because you are from a game, but you have actually been moved to an entirely different medium. This is an internet RP and thus certain things, like experience points and grind, have been rendered irrelevant while certain other things, like character relationships and the quality of your ideas have been made quite more important.

It wouldn't do for people to spend their time fighting the ludicrously powerful monsters around here only to find that they gained nothing for it rather than spending time entertaining their classmates. I hope I have cleared anything up.

And if you are wondering why I'm helping you, it's because I have a vested interest in our success.

Fighting through items to make it stronger? Brilliant! Tell me where to sign up!

[She pretty much heard nothing else after he said "Item World"]
Item world?

I do not think I've heard a more beautiful combination of words. Right up there with "Cellar Door."

[ms_gwendolen_chant]

That wasn't very helpful.
