Chapter 1-Locux Seeker
Night, the jungle was serene with the occasional roar or deathly howl.Darkness encompassed the jungle and formed a scene of the most desolate and mysterious place. The Jungle did not seem like a part of this world and seemed to merely be a world of its own.Within the jungle, a boy could be seen in a deep slumber.
Suddenly, he awoke with a shock.
“Where am…I .” The boy inspected his surroundings with an intelligent glint in his eyes. “This seems to be some kind of jungle. How did I even get here?” He said with confusion.
The boy sat down while trying to make sense of his situation.
“I remember something,” he said excitedly. “My name is…” he thought long and hard before he slowly saying “Locux Seeker”.
“That doesn’t do me much good though. I need to figure out where exactly I am and find a safe spot”
Locux after contemplating decided to stand up and walk around. He decided to build a makeshift tent as shelter.
‘What...What happened why am I here?” He said in an exhausted manner. Locux after trying to figure out the reason for him being in the jungle, chose to examine himself.”
Locux while inspecting himself discovers injuries that resulted from battle
“Haha, seems like I got in some real trouble. These wounds aren’t superficial by any means”
After inspecting his body he discoverers a letter that says
“Brother, you are the best” it was signed by two people named Lisa and Logan
“Hmm it seems like I have siblings,” Locux said with astonishment
Locux proceeded to look at the tent.
“I think a mere tent is a bit superficial to be of any use. I should probably have some safety measures established”

He thought the matter over for a considerable amount of time and then formulated a plan
“I think I'll setup pits and other traps”
Locux chose to use makeshift tools in order to build a sizeable moat that completely encircled the tent. He placed extremely sharp sticks on the bottom of the moat and covered the tent and himself with dirt in order to elude the senses of any creatures that may approach.
Locux while working saw a huge sharp branch that was on the verge of collapsing and thought.
“In case unexpected variables arise I should have the ability to protect myself.HeHe, Although it seems a bit primitive a branch should be able to assume the role of a weapon
After deciding on his weapon, he attempted to tear down the branch. The branch even though it was barely hanging on was incredibly tough. After 10 breaths of time, he barely managed to tear it down. After tearing it down he observed it and then continued to fortify his position.
“Hmm....This should be enough.I hope nothing crazy occurs. Now I can see how deadly I can make a piece of wood” Locux said while looking at the branch and smiling
Locux thought of how he could forge a weapon from his lacking materials. He looked around for anything that could be used to sharpen the tip of the branch. After looking for a while he found a huge rock next to an eerie cave. Locux initially wanted to go in the tunnel but he could not shake the repulsing and evil aura that the cave gave out.
Locux decided to simply carve the tip of the branch. He desired an efficient puncturing tool. He also intended to use the rest of the branch as a bludgeon.
“It’s not the best weapon but it can work nicely as a bludgeon and puncture weapon depending on how I use it. It will serve it’s purpose until I get something better.”

Locux was aware that it may take a long time to figure out where to go, so he planned for a long term stay.
Locux then stares at the weapon deeply and executes a series of cleaving and stabbing movements.
“I may have created a weapon but a weapon in the hands of a novice and one in the hands of an expert produce vastly different results.”

Deviant's Masquerade: The Huntsman's Quest (An Urban Magic Quest/RPG)
Jon Whitaker went to summer camp expecting a nice relaxing time as a newly minted counselor in training. He was not expecting to fight an army of monsters, work with a serial killer, enter a one-sided friendship with an eldritch horror, or study under a competing witch and dark lord. But regardless of what he was expecting, his summer is over and he's made his way back home where he can try and return to a normal -for him- life. Too bad life rarely goes as expected. --- Please Note: This is forum quest/RPG I run in the same city/setting as my other stories Hacking Reality and Get Ink'd, meaning that while a majority of the plot is made up by me, the major choices as well as what each chapter is about are usually made by the actual readers in forum votes. Additionally, given how this is essentially a story version of a Tabletop game there is also a background RPG system that while the characters aren't necessarily aware of, the readers can see these stats to know how each chosen 'Action' effects their character's development.
