Elona's Secret Folder Incident

Last night, Elesis and Elsword went to the other world, where they disguised themselves as thieves hiding in the bushes and broke a magic school's window to allow them to barge into the director's office, where they found a folder saying "Forbidden Pranks" and they saw pictures of a former student of the school laughing at his water magic teacher getting electrocuted and his alchemy teacher having chewing gun on her head, and the mugshot of the student.

Later, Elesis and Elsword ran away from the office with the folder to avoid getting caught by the security guard who didn't notice they ran away. The next morning, the two were in the school's school uniform making dangerous prank plans, only for her to prank a male teacher by controlling the chair to blast him to the wall then she and her brother laughed at him that he got angry at them.

Again the scene switches to the teacher looking at a gift in the table only to see Elesis' head pretending to be dead and he got scared that she and Elsword got out of the table only for the same security guard from last night to look at them and leave instead of punishing them anyway.

A few days later, Elsword unclogged the males restroom only for the teacher to get screwed over before he left for the magic school's cafeteria with his sister Elesis where they look at a drawing of a person getting lured to the crocodiles only for them to hide it from that teacher who then poured the sauce all over the table that they began to sit in the other table only for them to get wet by a melted air conditioner and Elona's hair.

Outside of the school, near a construction site, Elesis and Elsword looks at the folder, with the latter looking at Elona's hair, only for them to get scared by a person pretending to be a bush that they got their foot trapped in concrete and Elesis found one of Elona's hair, and the construction worker kicked them out and made them wash their foot off concrete before going to the school interiors.

As Elesis and Elsword looks at the folder, the two got shocked upon the lights turning off and they saw a grim reaper and they immediately gave him the Forbidden Pranks folder before jumping off the window and Elona got knocked over by a rake, which took his hat away.

Elesis shows the picture of Elona as a criminal to himself, with she and Elsword bowing down to the ground for him only for the teacher to reveal himself as Miro and the two high-fived, with the school director putting a picture of them almost falling into the ground into the bushes with Miro behind them into the Forbidden Pranks before putting in her cave and repaired one of the windows of her office.

Fabian Search Party

5 days before his disappearance, Fabian promised his cousins Elesis and Elsword that he'll go on a long trip to the demon island with his friends Frostine and Fawn in which 4 days later, one of them noticed him acting strange until a day after the incident, he went missing and they set out to search for his whereabouts by creating the group called Fabian Search Party.

While they were on their quest to search for him, they saw Frostine and Fawn asking Adams if he had seen Fabian, with him saying that he hasn't seen him before, with she saying "How are we supposed to find our friend if Elsword doesn't know anything about my kingdom?" she replied "Then what are we gonna do to find Fabian without him? He can help us find him!" only for Rena's fire arrow combined with Aisha's thunderstorm to stop them from arguing and they appeared out of nowhere.

Aisha said "Elsword, are you searching for Fabian?" He said "Yes. I haven't seen him today." Rena asked him if she and Aisha would like to join the Fabian Search Party and together they with him, Frostine and Fawn joined the party. Soon after their conversation, the party decides to take a rest through the waterfall.

While they were taking a rest through the waterfall, Elesis saw Blaine, Ostara and Silvia who asked questions about her group before him telling Ostara and Silvia to steal Elsword's Soul Prism and give it to Yeowah only for the mentioned character in question to get pissed off and blasted him away with his Flame Geyser skill.

Blaine rushed to the scene, with Elsword taunting him "Didn't you know that I can survive without a Soul Prism?!" He replied "Nope! Give me your Soul Prism and I'll give it to Yeowah!" Instead of talking with him, the two were fighting with their abilities, with a large meteor about to hit the village of Ruben and Frostine telling the latter "Seriously? We have no time to talk with these fools! Run for our lives!"

As the meteor was to hit the village of Ruben, the Fabian Search Party evacuated the villagers to the Velder Castle Area (VCA) while the village was destroyed with Blaine, Ostara and Silvia  getting killed. Meanwhile in Elder, Frostine noticed Fabia sobbing behind Wally's statue.

Fabia said to Frostine while sobbing "I tried to find my brother everywhere on my own but he's nowhere to be found..." Elsword calmed her down and told her "Don't worry about it. We can help you find him with our party." She said "Really? Thanks. Can I join your party?" He answered with "Sure, you can join our party."

Now with the new member of the party, the Fabian Search Party grew to 6 and they went to Wally's Castle Area, where they asked Wally if he had seen him before, with him lying to them that he has seen him before much to them getting deceived that they left and set out to camp in the Shadow Forest.

At the Shadow Forest, Elesis tells a story in front of the campfire, only to stop and look at Fabia shows her a letter from Fabian saying "Help me" written 3 hours prior to their arrival. She showed the letter to, Elsword who got shocked and said to her "What!? Is Fabian okay?! He needs our help?!" she replied "Yes, he needs our help!" he answered "Really? We must go and find him immediately!"

Suddenly, Fabian's kidnapper Dulce appeared and instead of fighting against her for his safety, Elsword pretended to be dead in front of her, only for him to get abducted by her, with Fabia, Aisha and Rena pursuing her by grabbing her legs to the demon island Fabian mentioned before.

Arriving at the demon island, Dulce left Fabia, Aisha and Rena ashore while at the other side of the island, Elsword was unconscious and didn't know he was imprisoned in a cage along with Ara, surrounded by Yeowah, Blaine, Ostara and Silvia, with her throwing a Wind Orb at Ostara, in which she allowed Eun to grab the keys to their cages, with her unlocking and breaking free from her own cage while he wakes up upon her unlocking his cage.

Ara told Elsword "Let's run before they find us!" and they ran away, which led to Yeowah telling Blaine, Ostara and Silvia to chase them throughout the stairs that leads to the village before the three except for them stopped in the middle of the stairs, with the two arriving in the village only for them to get surrounded by Black Lord (as Ibuki Saionji, his brother Black Knight and henchman Seira Amano, in which they use their skills to fight against Saionji only for the attacks against him backfire with their skills attacking themselves, causing them to be have weaker health points.

As Ibuki was trying to kill Elsword and Ara with the same skill he used to kill Crystalline, the two noticed an mysterious aura shield defending them from him combined with Rumo's runic magic and Lilin's demonic energy. Rumo said "Nice try, Black Lord but try again next time." Lilin said "Woah! Think you can kill these poor humans? Not so fast."

Ibuki puts his disguise as Black Lord back on and said to Rumo and Lilin "Just let me kill Elsword and Ara so I can get their Soul Prisms!" Rumo told him "Not today! Just tell us where Fabian is or else we'll kill you!" before summoning fireballs at him, which almost damaged his coat, leaving him unable to fly.

Black Lord gets angry and decides to transform into his inner form, Inner Black Lord. Elsword advised and told Rumo and Lilin "Watch out! He has gotten stronger so please save us with your special mode!" with a shocked face before giving them two magical red rings he stole from Blaine's hands prior to the chase with him and his friends Ostara and Silvia, with them saying "Thank you Elsword! Now we can activate our RED mode!"

Rumo and Lilin activates their RED mode, which earned them the ability to use fire powers and they create a fire rune magic to shoot at the sky, causing Inner Black Lord to get hit by the fireballs and as a last resort, the two activated their inner form which was way powerful than his inner form.

As a result to prevent interfering with Rumo and Lilin's fight against Black Lord, Elsword and Ara left the village only to find out Fabia, Aisha and Rena were trapped in three different cages surrounded by Yeowah. Aisha said to the two "Elsword and Ara, help us! We need your help!" Rena said "We're stuck! Please help!" Fabia was crying for her brother and said "Help me... I don't want to end up like my brother..."

Ara said "Don't worry! We can save you girls!" before fighting with Elsword against Yeowah, in which the latter gave up at one point they were almost defeating him.  The two stared at him awkwardly and tells him "Where is Fabian? Tell us where he is right now..." much to his horror that he freed Fabia, Aisha and Rena from their cages.

Yeowah guides Elsword, Aisha, Rena and Fabia along with Ara to the village where Rumo and Lilin were done fighting against Black Lord, with Lilin saying to him "You're finished here, young man. That's what you deserve for hurting these two by having their attacks backfire against themselves." Rumo threatened him to have either his Soul Prism taken or his brother and Seira's Soul Prism be taken by Yeowah.

Fearing for his life, Black Lord chose to sacrifice his own brother Black Knight and henchman Seira Amano's Soul Prism by choosing the second option, with Yeowah stabbing the two with his scythe and collecting their Soul Prisms from their dead bodies as well as putting it in his Soul Prism Collection grimoire.

Black Lord starts to ditch his own costume, becoming Ibuki Saionji entirely and he started to be kind to Elsword and the Fabian Search Party, as well as helping them find Fabian. Soon, he began to cry over his brother's body and tells Yeowah to bring his prism back only for the latter to refuse and he accepted the reality that dead people won't be revived forever.

As a result, Ibuki decides to guide the party and Yeowah to the mysterious dokkaebi village, whose mansion at the north of the village gates where the kidnapper, suspected to be the goddess Dulce, is holding Fabian captive. He told them "This is the dokkaebi village, where I first met Yeolbin. When I first met her, she was standing there lonely and I raised her as my own child." before saying "Apparently, the kidnapper is a goddess and she also kidnapped Elesis, Frostine and Fawn, and put them in the locked master bedroom."

Upon hearing Ibuki's explanation relating to Elesis's kidnapping, Elsword got shocked and said in a scared tone "Oh god! First, Fabian, and now my sister Elesis?! I must save them immediately!" before trying to charging in recklessly into the Dokkaebi Mansion, only for Aisha to slap him with Yeowah's grimoire.

Aisha told him "No! Don't go there, Elsword! It's too dangerous for you to go there!" and then the two kept arguing over the mansion until Ibuki stopped them from doing so and told them "Yeowah told you several times that Dulce is too dangerous yet you both kept on arguing about the place where she is holding Fabian, Elesis, Frostine and Fawn captive!? Pathetic."

Soon after, Elsword and Aisha both apologized to Ibuki, and behind them was Yeolbin running away from a hellhound dog from Makai who has just killed a unknown Majin and she showed them the way to the dokkaebi mansion, in which it took the Fabian Search Party, Ara, Ibuki and Yeowah 3 hours to get into there.

Once there in the mansion, they met the goddess Dulce in the entryway, who forcibly grabbed Elsword's hands and he asked her to stop multiple times in the hallway while Fabia, Aisha, Rena, Ara, Yeolbin, Ibuki and Yeowah were following her as she left him in the same master bedroom with his fellow teammates Elesis, Frostine and Fawn and went to the living room, with Yeowah telling Fabia, Aisha, Rena and Ara to get out of the mansion while he, Ibuki and Yeolbin will deal with her.

However, the situation with the El's deteriorating energy will take a turn for the worse... Since there's no much time left for Fabian to become a red panda, Elesis and Elsword, together with their cousin Fabia, must stop him in time right before their curses as well by the time reaches midnight.

At the Dokkaebi Mansion, Ibuki, Yeolbin and Yeowah were waiting for Dulce to fight them while she took Fabian away and threw him to the bedroom before locking him inside with his cousins and friends. Outside of the mansion, Ara, Fabia, Aisha and Rena were fighting against Blaine, Ostara and Silvia with their weapons, in which at one point of the fight, Fabia threw a rock to the master bedroom window.

Inside the master bedroom, Elsword told Fabian, Frostine, Fawn and Elesis to get out of here before he jumped off the window, with them following suit right before Dulce finds them. Once they got out of the mansion, Dulce went berserk and went to search for them outside of the mansion instead of fighting with Ibuki, Yeolbin and Yeowah inside, she met an ordinary Phoru and a baby Icy Hedgehog mob only to threaten them "Where's Elsword and Fabian?!"

The poor Phoru and hedgehog shakes their head to a no much to Dulce's anger, with them running away to take refuge in one of the abandoned houses of the dokkaebi village to prevent her from killing them. Ibuki, Yeolbin and Yeowah ran to find her, only to see her looking at an abandoned cathedral.

Inside the abandoned cathedral, Elsword and the Fabian Search Party (including Fabia, Aisha, Rena, Elesis, Frostine and Fawn) were praying in front of Fabian sleeping in the church coffin not to be cursed by midnight, and soon, by the time in the clock outside of the cathedral reaches midnight, they're all cursed into animals without their consent temporarily.

Later, Elsword and Frostine both got shocked that they became rabbits while Fabia and Fabian became red pandas, and for Elesis, Fawn, Aisha and Rena, they became a cat, deer, guinea pig and a crane. Dulce smelled their scent and wanted to eat them for dinner, only for Yeowah to slap her in the face when she tried to grab Rena's feathers, allowing her to escape with the 5 to hide in the same area as the Phoru and hedgehog.

Inside the abandoned house, Yeolbin gave up on fighting against Dulce and decided to feed the animals and the Phoru with pet food before leaving to pursue her in the village with Ibuki and Yeowah. An hour later, Frostine starts going into heat and became frustrated that she tried to hump a Phoru much to their disgust, and she went outside of the house only to run around a garden and marked her territory.

Fawn starts to get worried about her, with Elsword leaving the house to have his way with her for 30 seconds much to Rena's horror. Fabian wakes up and gets out of the coffin only for him and Fabia as well as their own cousin himself, Aisha and Frostine to be captured by demonic animal hunters and put into an abusive animal shelter.

As an attempt to save their loved ones, Elesis, Fawn and Rena along with the Phoru and hedgehog ran after the hunters to the shelter, where they saw Elsword trying to run around his own cage angrily, Frostine sleeping with her eyes open in her cage, Aisha biting her cage cells and both Fabian and Fabia barking for help in seperate cages.

Knowing that they're in danger, Elesis managed to save her own brother and cousins by unlocking the cages to prevent euthanasia, considering that red pandas are endangered animals, while Rena and Fawn freed Aisha and Frostine from their cages before an hour later, they turned back into humans and freed all of the caged animals to prevent them from getting killed through euthanasia before running away to leave the Phoru and hedgehog alone, who went back to their place.

In the meanwhile, Ara decides to follow the Fabian Search Party and Fabian to go after Dulce and they all left the Dokkaebi village. In the bamboo forest, Laby and Noah were collecting bamboo shoots in the picnic basket for dinner with Blaine, Ostara and Silvia helping them. Suddenly, they saw Dulce running away and fearing for their lives, Silvia got quickly scared and threw the picnic basket of bamboo shoots at her before hiding inside the bamboos with her friends and them.

In the meanwhile, Blaine, Ostara and Silvia went to fight against Dulce. While in the middle of the fight, Fabian and Ara both joined the Fabian Search Party and she activated her inner form and RED form by using the magical red ring she found from her invisible hagoromo scarf which is also worn by her brother Yeowah.

Yeowah told Ibuki and Yeolbin "Dulce is a deity, but since you, Ibuki and Yeolbin are a human and dokkaebi, you guys won't fight with me anymore. Go follow the others somewhere else, and it's just a fight between me and her." before telling them, Laby, Noah, Blaine, Ostara, Silvia and the Fabian Search Party to get out of here right before they do any damages in the forest due to their powers being linked to a single God that created everything in Islamic belief who fathered and created all of the gods in the YunokiRoom universe.

While Yeowah and Dulce were fighting against each other, Elsword and Elesis finally hugs Fabian who thanked them for saving him, and upon hearing the eruption of a volcano, the Fabian Search Party decided to find a way to leave the island by splitting themselves into several techniques to build a large raft; Elsword and Fawn finds bamboo stalks through the area where the two deities were fighting against each other and collects them to use as the base for a raft boat, Aisha finds a cotton tissue from the abandoned house in the dokkaebi mansion to put on the top of it.

After they're done with the raft, the Fabian Search Party along with the Phoru and hedgehog waves goodbye to Ibuki, Yeolbin, Yeowah and Dulce before leaving the island with it. 5 hours later, at night, Laby and Noah looks at a beautiful sight of fireworks, with her resting on his shoulders, and he writes "N + L" with a heart surrounding it on the sand to indicate that they're in love with each other.

Soon, he began to slowly kiss her like as if they were a couple in front of the fireworks. The scene switches to the meanwhile in Elrios, Elsword looks at the Tree of El on fire and he starts to feel sad that he hasn't saved it before being unconscious by a earthquake relating to the deteriorating energy of the El.

Fabian and Fabia ran to check on him and told him to wake up but he didn't and they cried over his body until their tears came into his body and the El's energy began to ameliorate, causing the Tree of El to regenerate the El inside of its leaves. At the other scene, Noah kissed on Laby's right hand before asking her to be his girlfriend and she agreed, with them hugging each other and gaining wings to fly away.

Blaine, Ostara, Silvia, Ibuki and Yeolbin claps for them while the sun was rising, which completely restored the village of Ruben and in the meanwhile, Elsword wakes up and looks at Dulce and Yeowah. The latter told him "Dulce is no longer an evil goddess. She won't hurt you or anything." He replied "What?! I thought she was evil!" He responded back "She is a nice person." and he responded "Really? Will she hug me?"

Yeowah said "You'll see that by yourself.", with Dulce crying and tells Elsword "Ibuki manipulated me to become an evil person... I don't think he's a good person..." He said "Oh really? Did he manipulate you to be a bad goddess?" She replied "Yes, but I want him to be gone forever..." before crying into tears and hugging him in which he also cried.

At the demon island, Blaine, Ostara, Silvia and Yeolbin heard Dulce's cries, with Laby blaming Ibuki for manipulating her and she tells Noah, the three and Yeolbin to teach him what it feels like to get beaten up by a group of 6 people, with them beating him up until he reached to the village to get his Black Lord Costume and became Black Lord before flying away to steal Yeowah's Soul Prism Collection grimoire without his permission and revived his brother Black Knight and henchman Seira Amano by putting their Soul Prisms to their body.

Yeowah got angry that his Soul Prism Collection got stolen, and tells Dulce to come with him to the island, before calling Solace to accompany Elsword and his Master Artifact Leon to come help him as Black Lord's situation will take a turn for the worse for him if he didn't get accompanied. The four came into the village in the demon island to stop him from doing so.

Solace told Black Lord "Think you can revive your own brother and friend? Give their prisms back to Yeowah or else he'll collect your soul!" He replied "No! Go away, Solace and don't talk to me like that!" Dulce threatened him "If you try to revive your loved ones, then you're going to have a hard time." Yeowah gave him an ultimatum demanding him to either give his own brother and henchman's Soul Prisms or else he'll gonna kill him and collect his Soul Prism.

As Elsword got tired of hearing Yeowah, Dulce and his own master Solace arguing with Black Lord, he told his Master Artifact to bring him back home. Dark Omega appeared and almost stabbed Solace in his chest, with him telling Leon to bring him back home for safety, and his pupil took him back home to Elrianode for safety.

Back in the destroyed village of Ruben, Elsword came back to look at the Tree of El and Fabian's voice said "Thanks for saving me, cousin! We're living in Velder right now, so it's better to follow us there!", which made him wander throughout the entire Lurensia until he finally reached Velder. In the Velder Castle Area, Fabia welcomed him into their house and he told the story about what happened and how he freed Fabian to Elesis, her and Fabian himself.

Soon, the twins start to get worried about their uncle Elkashu's mysterious disappearance and how he's never seen again, but that's an another story as Elsword and Elesis will have to investigate their own father's disappearance next time. The scene switches to Blaine, Ostara and Silvia throwing rocks at Black Lord until he got blasted away along with Black Knight, Dark Omega and Seira Amano by Yeowah and Dulce using the same skill Mitsuru did in Abyss Legends.

After the incident with Black Lord at the island, Laby and Noah went on a date at the dokkaebi forest before buying the property rights for the dokkaebi mansion and started to repair the master bedroom window whom Fabia threw a rock at and they're now living together in a mansion.

3 months later, while at Velder, Aisha told Elsword that Frostine was expecting a first child with him and he fainted without knowing that he'll be the father to his own child 6 months later. Ironically enough, Aisha was also pregnant and by the end, he had to raise his own son and daughter with them.

THE END

The Unwanted Secrets of Florian Part 3

 This is the final part of the Unwanted Secrets of Florian, where Yunoki told Frostine and Oshun about how she revealed Elsword's true colors and apparently, he was the one who summoned an incubus to victimize the poor Kuron who got stoned to death to take advantage of the women in Florian then cursed and manipulated the god of death Yeowah into saying that Iliana cursed the latter when actually she told Sombre the truth about his lies and got enraged over it.

While Frostine and Oshun were eating tteokbokki and at the same time trying to learn from the book that allows them to use the blessing spell to free Yeowah from a curse at an empty classroom, Yunoki came into the classroom to eat one of the tteokbokki before telling them the truth about Elsword's true colors.

According to what she said, Iliana revealed Elsword's true colors as it turns out she was hiding as an undercover agent called Agent Luz and saw him summoning a incubus in the same classroom where Frostine and Oshun are in right now to possess Kuron into taking advantage of the Florian and non-Florian women prior to his death from stoning in Part 2.

Not only that, Iliana also revealed that Elsword cursed Yeowah into a beast with the Forbidden Codex and manipulated him into saying Iliana cursed him prior to Crystalline's death and reincarnation as a goddess which led to the latter suffering the same fate of the god himself before freeing himself from the curse with a blessing spell he learned from his own.

As a result, Frostine and Oshun got angry of what Yunoki had told them about Elsword's true colors and went to buy flowers at the flower shop to give for Kuron's grave. After giving flowers to his grave, a ghost of himself shows up outside of his grave and told them "I'm going to give him a hard time, won't you agree my friends?"

Frostine and Oshun agreed, and the next day, they reached out to the director of their school to talk about Elsword's shady behavior from Yunoki yesterday and she immediately called the police station to fire him from his own night shift as a police officer and instantly fired him from his job as the school's security guard.

Upon getting fired from his both jobs, Elsword immediately vanished from Florian, leaving his security  guard uniform in the security room of the school and a message saying "Try to find me if you can, but I'm not here and you don't know who I am." in the police station's interrogation room and the Floriana Country began an nationwide manhunt for him. 

To prevent getting recognized as the fugitive that the Floriana Country was looking for, he put on a cute hair wig and grey contact lens as well as a maid's outfit to work as a streetwalker offering cute star-shaped cookies in Starflower Island. The phoenix-like elemental walked up to him and said "What's that kind of cookies you're selling?"

Frostine and Oshun showed up next to her and Kuron's ghost told them "There he is, the fugitive of the Floriana Country. Let's give him a hard time." They had no choice but to buy boxes of tomato bombs and lured Elsword into eating them until he finally reached the final one, only for the rest to be in an vacant house with only cardboard boxes inside.

However, when Elsword tried to eat the rest of the tomatoes, Frostine and Oshun threw the tomatoes at him before turning their right arms into icy swords and the three fought against each other with swords until he chose to spare his life to them and told them the truth about the same mysterious crystal that brainwashed Rumo before brainwashing him into doing some sorts of behaviors Iliana mentioned.

"Where's that crystal?" The crystal appears behind Frostine and Oshun, with Yunoki and Iliana appearing and telling them "We've found the fugitive! Get him now!" The two stares at them angrily and replied with "He spared our life to us, so please accept this fate!" before kicking them in the head.

Yeowah appeared and Elsword told him "These women are accusing me of a fugitive! I'm not one!" He then answered with "Why are they accusing you of a fugitive? I know you're not a fugitive, but they are." Yunoki and Iliana got shocked and Froid enchained them to prevent them from attacking him before appearing out of nowhere with the other thanking him for saving him.

Kuron's ghost appeared and wanted to give Elsword a hard time for killing him, but Oshun directed him to attack both Yunoki and Iliana who tried to kill him and they (except for the three) got blasted away by Frostine from the house with her icy sword beam.

Later, Elesis and Fabian convinced the president of Floriana Country in his private home and told him Yunoki and Iliana were fugitives and following that, Elsword's criminal records were cleared within 10 days and the Floriana Country began an nationwide manhunt for the two whom the earlier called fugitives.

10 days later, Elsword was now working a part-time job at the same cafe whom Frostine and Kuron met in Part 1, and there he met her and Oshun who wanted hot chocolate to drink, and gave them what they've wanted. Outside of the cafe, the two were drinking until they saw ShadowRunal walking with a newspaper.

Frostine asked ShadowRunal what he is doing and the two saw two human children running away crying from Nuri and the two stopped him from approaching them, only to get burned by his Inferno Firestorm (a reference to Elsword's fictional skill introduced in Bring It On) skill.

As a result, Frostine's ice powers were almost melting and her outfit is damaged, with her right chest and right waist revealed and her hat getting destroyed. She said to ShadowRunal "Runal, fight him without my need on your own. I'm almost dying..." As he and Nuri were fighting, Emlyn was drinking her water bottle and spit them when she saw them fighting. 

She tried to grab her sword to fight against them but Frostine stopped her from doing that and told her that it's risky to fight against an elemental that specializes in fire and suggested that they should have a tea ceremony with Fabian and Oshun at Fawn's teahouse instead.

Inside the teahouse, Fabian, Frostine, Oshun and Emlyn were waiting for their green tea and wagashi until Fawn gave them their green tea and wagashi then only 6 minutes later, Fabian suggested that the four of them should go on a blind date, but Emlyn refused and talked about how she and Elsword weren't going well and told him that she isn't going to be with him anymore.

Frostine shook her head to no while Oshun facepalmed. Fabian ditched the blind date idea and chose to help the two turn Yeowah into his normal form tomorrow, in which the three agreed. After 2 hours at Fawn's teahouse, the four paid the bills and left the house to practice the blessing spell.

The next day, Frostine's homeroom teacher bought the god Yeowah into the school's empty classroom shown at the beginning and the entire class learned the blessing spell, which causes him to slowly regain his powers and turn back to normal, with his hair being white, his eyes being black and white and his new clothes. 

After regaining his true form, Yeowah was happy to see himself back to normal and hugged both Frostine and Oshun, and 2 years after he regained his true form, her class and the other classes got an graduation diploma and were given a gift from him. The gift was actually his dark feathers with a drawing of his beast form and Eduun being together, a message from the goddess Sombre and her medallion.

Now determined to bring her medallion back to the Arcane Realm with 23-year-old Froid to reunite with her royal family, 17-year-old Frostine packed her bags before selling her apartment to an real estate broker and leaving Florian for her home country. 

3 days after her departure from the Floriana Country, Yunoki and Iliana were caught vandalizing a photo of Elsword with his own class whom he was a homeroom teacher for in a gymnasium at the magic school's bulletin board by an undercover agent (later revealed to be Add).

Three of the aforementioned characters appeared in the Florian Village Court's criminal trial, with the key staff of the magic school, Yunoki and Iliana's parents and relatives attending the trial, in which the two parties attending the court declared they were guilty. As a result, Yunoki and Iliana were sentenced to 18 years in jail for manipulating and crimes against humanity as well as vandalism.

However, this doesn't stop Yunoki from redoing the same thing she did at the end of Crystalline Codex Season 7, so she will find many ways to escape from prison, as legends say that she is an non-human escape artist considering that she can turn into a butterfly to escape prisons easily.

Now that The Unwanted Secrets of Florian is over, I will be focusing on making original and unique characters with flaws to end Shangri-La Stories and start making the last MapuruCafe OCs season for Generation 1 called Starflower Island before writing an another story while continuing to attend school at the same time.

The Unwanted Secrets of Florian Part 2

This is the second part of The Unwanted Secrets of Florian, where Frostine was being taken advantage of by Kuron until Froid caught them in the act last night and she was able to go to school early in the morning feeling sick, but before that, let's talk about what happened with her and how her day at school turn out today.

Last night, while Frostine was going back to her apartment from Oshun's house, Kuron followed her into her bedroom where they introduced themselves to her angrily and they attempted to take their clothes off and they were making out, only to get caught by Froid in the middle of the act, opening the door.

Froid saw Kuron and Frostine in their underwear much to his horror that he yelled at him "What are you doing here half-naked with my sister? Put on your clothes and get out of here!" before throwing his clothes at him and slapped him with his staff to outside his sister's apartment.

Frostine got shocked and she had the talk with Froid in her bed about her first time with Kuron and how Eyan was born from his parents getting it on. He shows her a picture of Eyan with his mother Aluna fishing in the boat and told her "If he took advantage of you, then you'll have to take your responsibilities as a mother and treat his child with love and affection."

After a talk with Froid, he slept with Frostine in her bed that night until the next morning, she woke up feeling sick and prepared herself for the school by wearing her school uniform and goes to the pharmacy with him before going to school without him, where Rena gives him medicine for her to use at school.

After leaving the pharmacy, Froid gives Frostine the medicine in her bag and she walked to the school, where her homeroom teacher introduced a new classmate to her and her classmates, and the new classmate was Saphir who entered the school to learn the blessing spell to remove the curse on Yeowah. 

While Saphir was introducing himself to his classmates, Frostine felt sick in class and the homeroom teacher told the class presidents Rumo and Tien to take her to the school nurse, in which they did and while she was at the nurse's office, she saw a sleeping Lenora in a hospital bed and after a minute in the nurse's office, she went to the bathroom, where it turned out she had her period that week.

13 days later, while the school was closed for students even the following weekend, Frostine was reading books about how to use the blessing spell with Saphir and Oshun at Florian's local public library while Kuron was working as a part-time librarian, and after an hour, the three left the library. 

After they left the library, Frostine, Saphir and Oshun saw Makena trying to save a lonely calico cat and her mother from a moving car and since he didn't realize it was dangerous to get in front of a moving car, Frostine and Oshun saved him with their ice abilities, but it was too late for the three of them, as the poor cat's mother got killed by the car, which traumatized the cat herself.

Frostine felt pity for the cat and parted ways with Saphir and Oshun. After parting ways with the boys, she took her to an veterinary hospital, where the vet checked on the cat and he saw a birthmark on her paws. After an half a hour, she and the cat left the hospital. While they were on their way to the earlier's apartment, Kuron noticed her and tried to stalk her only to get caught by the undercover agent under the name of Agent Elton Siegemund.

Agent Elton detained Kuron and took him to the police station, where he got questioned over why he was stalking Frostine. After 8 hours of having a conversation with him, Agent Elton called his father who took him from the station to their house and they had the talk.

The next day, while Frostine and Oshun were making mochi to prepare for Florian's annual El Enero Nevados (lit. The Snowy January) Festival held every year on the fourth Saturday and Sunday of January, Kuron stole the keys to the earlier's apartment from Froid's coat without his permission and put an aphrodisiac on the orange juice without the two noticing.

That night, after making mochi in order to prepare for this year's El Enero Nevados Festival, Frostine went to the police department to search for the keys of her apartment and together with Agent Elton and the private detective, they searched for the keys and it turns out Kuron had stolen them and has them in his house.

Kuron heard the door knocking and opened it only to saw Frostine, Agent Elton and the private detective who was searching for the keys to her apartment, and he surrendered the keys to them before closing the door. Agent Elton got the keys and gave it to Frostine who walked on her way home while opened the door and without him noticing, Kuron stalked her into her apartment.

At her apartment, Frostine was drinking the orange juice that contained the aphrodisiac Kuron added while Froid drank water from a bottle before they arrived at the apartment, and they had the effects of the aphrodisiac that made it easy for her to get pregnant since her period ended.

Unfortunately for Froid, Kuron managed to take advantage of Frostine in her bedroom and the earlier was angry about him having his way with his sister, so he went to save his sister from him by calling the police to talk about this incident that night before Agent Elton began his job as a police officer, and he immediately came to the apartment, where Froid told him the truth about Kuron and they knocked on the bedroom door.

The door was locked and that evil Kuron was still taking advantage of poor Frostine until Agent Elton and Froid to break the bedroom door, and they got shocked about they've saw and as a result, the police officers raided the apartment and soon he got arrested for stalking and raping a minor and he was forced to register as a child predator throughout the Floriana Country including the village of Elyria.

10 days after Kuron got arrested, Elsword finally ditched his Agent Elton aliases and began his first day as a security guard for the school in the day and a police officer in the night in Florian. During biology class, Frostine felt sick and fell unconscious on her table whom she shared with her classmate Oshun, who was the first one to see her feeling sick.

As a result, Oshun told the biology teacher about what's going on with Frostine and the school nurse took her to the nurse's office, when it was discovered she was pregnant from what Kuron have done to her prior to his arrest. The school nurse also called Froid to come to the office, where he told the truth about him. 

Froid told the nurse that Kuron impregnated multiple vulnerable young girls who attended the same magic school like his sister, even former and current ones, that out of the vulnerable young girls who have given birth to his babies, some of them decided to abort, some of them are raising them and some of them gave them to adoption after giving birth to them.

As a result, Froid and Frostine went to the hospital, where she took an pregnancy test only to find out she was pregnant and began to cry and initially wanted to abort her child before changing her mind and said she would like to raise her child until 3 weeks later, her child was gone before it was even born, causing her to cry and mourn her child.

A week after mourning her child, Frostine got surrounded by the women and girls whom Kuron impregnated and they told her to look at him, who was stalking her female classmate, and she froze him from approaching her. "Think you can approach my classmate? Not today!" she said to him before saying "We'll see that in court!"

The lawyer representing Frostine and the girls and Kuron appeared in the Florian Village Court's criminal trial, with the key staff of the magic school, the women and the girls' family and the students of the magic school's parents attending the criminal trial. The magic school and the victim's family declared he's guilty. 

The final verdict by the judge sentenced Kuron to death by stoning by the Florian villagers, considering that stoning was a legal punishment that also exists in the Floriana Country as one of the many ways for capital punishment on criminals.

As a result, for saving Florian from Kuron's horrible behavior that traumatized the female population in the village, Froid, Frostine and Elsword were awarded the Order of Florian by the vice-president of Floriana Country and there was much rejoicing, until she had to learn the blessing spell with her classmates to turn Yeowah back to normal.

Now that Kuron is finally gone, Frostine and her classmates can now learn the blessing spell easily. Will they learn the blessing spell and turn the god Yeowah back to normal? Find out in the final part of The Unwanted Secrets of Florian!

The Unwanted Secrets of Florian

Here's a story set in an alternative timeline in which Frostine goes to Florian and attends the magic school there, where she meets her friend Makena for the first time in years and her new classmate then a handsome man shows up in front of them at the cafe after school, but before that, let's start with what happened last night before she attends the school and the scene where she finally attends the school.

While at the Bonfire Site, Fabian and Fawn were talking about the incident that led to Emlyn and Kiran getting angry at each other considering that she didn't like the man of her dreams the latter suggested. Later, the two saw Elsword panting and sweating with a mysterious beast following him behind and Fabian said to him "Who's that monster behind you?!"

The beast introduces himself as Yeowah and he told the three the truth about the situation. It turns out that Froid was the one who abused the sword of death and he was using it to take Elsword hostage and manipulate him into betraying his own group as well as their own sisters in the Arcane Tower that Yeowah got angry about Froid's misuse of the sword of death and he began to get revenge on those who touched that sword.

Frostine came into the site and Yeowah told her "Aren't you the little sister of the one who misused the sword of death to manipulate the one whom I've been following?" She replied with "Yes, but why did you accuse my brother of misusing that sword?" He said "Well, he abused the sword and didn't give me it back! Could you bring him please so we could talk about it."

As Frostine and Yeowah were talking about the sword of death, Froid overhears their conversation hiding in the bushes and he jumped out of nowhere to use Sabre Glacée (Frozen Saber) on Fabian and they were fighting like as if they were fencing against each other.

In the meanwhile, Yeowah helped Elsword, Frostine and Fawn find the sword of death with the purpose of stop Fabian and Froid from fighting only to saw Elona and a giant tree monster who is taking Elesis hostage blocking their way once they got the sword of death. 

Upon seeing the four with the sword of death, Elona angrily stares at Fawn and he ordered the tree to trap both and her in its strong tree branches that they couldn't escape and dropped their weapons into the ground, in which it agreed to do so. Fabian and Froid unblocked the way by using their Rune magic and they saw the two's weapons on the ground.

Fabian and Froid took Elsword and Fawn's weapons and attacked Elona with it, only for him to say "Ouch! It hurts!" and the two with Yeowah grabbed the sword of death to save both of them except for him from the tree branch but it was too strong that they cried the words "All hail the god of agriculture!", as the tree monster was trying to trap both Fabian and Yeowah in its branches, summoning a godly axe to appear behind it.

Froid and Frostine ran to the godly axe and killed the tree monster with it, saving not only both Elsword and Fawn, but Elesis, Fabian and Yeowah from them. However, the sword of death was gone and apparently, Elona stole the sword and ran away with it.

Yeowah said "Are you okay, everybody?" and he saw Fabian and Elsword falling on their knees and praying for Elesis to be alive. Their prayers became true, as she woke up to see them and say "Where am I...? Why am I here? Who are you guys?"

Yeowah said to Elesis "I'm Yeowah, the god of death and the two are your brother and cousin." She replied "Why are you a beast?" he replied back with "Iliana cursed me into a beast and the only way to get rid of is to attend the magic school in Florian and learn an blessing spell to get rid of my form!"

Elesis said "No time to talk, Yeowah. I'm going home with my brother and cousin." and left the forest with Elsword and Fabian while Fawn, Froid, Frostine and Yeowah search for Elona's whereabouts before going to sleep at a nearby treehouse.

The next morning, Frostine wakes up in the treehouse and saw an invitation flyer for a magic school in Florian, so she decided to register as a student for the school and got accepted into the school the next day.

On the day she was accepted, Frostine packs her bags and moved to an nearby apartment in Florian to attend the magic school and do her studies at both school and home with her brother Froid. At her first day at school, her class' homeroom teacher introduced her to her classmates and they were happy to see her in the school.

2 days after getting accepted to school, Frostine met Makena, Aisha and a male classmate of hers on their way to the school and the four get to know each other. Her male classmate introduced himself to the three as Oshun. He is 3 years younger than Makena and wants to learn ice magic like her, but suddenly, they couldn't enter the school's entrance door due to the curse of the sword of death.

Elona appeared with the sword of death and swings it, summoning a giant wind to blow both Aisha and Oshun away to hit Yeowah and this infuriated the latter, causing him to grab his scythe and fights with him.

Frostine and Makena ran to Aisha and Oshun, and they saw Eduun behind Elona and Yeowah, with him saying to her "Is that Eduun?! Why's he here when actually you defeated him?" "Well, he was searching for the sword of death and Elona is abusing it." 

Eduun told Elona "If you didn't give me the sword of death and put it to where it used to be, then I will make that Yeowah give your soul to me, so I'll count to five minutes." and he gave the sword of death to him, allowing the magic school to reopen.

As a result, Frostine, Makena, Aisha and Oshun went back to school and told the principal and their homeroom teacher about what happened and the four left school to do their activities.

After school, Frostine, Makena and Oshun went to the Shooting Star Cafe where they ordered a sweet star-shaped yogurt and ate it. After eating half of it, they saw an good-looking boy walking in front of their table and sitting next to them. He touches the earlier's hands and she pushes his hands off hers, and got angry at him who then told her "Calm down, young lady! Why are you angry at me like that?!"

Frostine ignored him and she ran away to her apartment to do her magic studies until she took her cryomancy spellbook and went to Oshun's house, where she helped him study cryomancy on his own and later that night, while she was going back home, that good-looking boy followed her into her apartment and all he wanted to do with her was...

Will she choose between kicking him out of the house and sleeping alone or spend the night with him together? Find out next time in The Unwanted Secrets of Florian!

One Night in Riyadh

Original date: September 18th, 2022

This story is loosely based on my maternal half-uncle's experience in Saudi Arabia and my travel experiences decades ago. I watched a video showcasing Riyadh and I wanted to write a story about travelling there, so why not introduce new characters and a unique one? Anyways, let's start.

It all started in mid-to-late July 2022, when Amina told her friend Zahra through a phone call that her father is travelling to Saudi Arabia and he told her mother he'll be taking her and her sister Naomi to visit Mecca and Medina as well as Riyadh. Upon finding out about it, her cousin inquired about her pilgrimage and asked her several questions before ending with a goodbye.

A few days later, Zahra texted her Lebanese friend Isaac what happened during her phone call with Amina and how she wanted to travel there, but turns out he wanted to travel too. Soon, they checked travel documents with their parents and with their approval, they decided to travel to... Saudi Arabia with a tour guide. 

Upon the plane reaching the King Khalid International Airport, the passengers, including Isaac and Zahra, got off the plane and they were welcomed by their tour guide Jabir. Since it was his first time knowing them three got to know about each other by handshaking their hands and since it was getting night there, the two went to his car where they stopped at his apartment and he introduced them to his wife and their two daughters, who were welcoming of them.

Upon meeting Zahra for the first time, the eldest daughter Sakina always wanted to play with her but her mother told her that it was time to sleep much to her dismay and soon everybody went to bed at midnight to prepare for the pilgrimage to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina tomorrow.

The next day, Jabir told his wife Adela to come with him to the pilgrimage to Mecca, leaving their daughters Sakina and Joelle alone with Isaac and Zahra, in which they did, so they drove away from Riyadh and once they're in the city, they decide to walk and surround the Masjid al-Haram, where they saw Amina and Naomi's father walking alone, who were one of the million people walking to surround the mosque itself. 

Turns out, Amina was lying to Zahra the whole time, as she and her sister Naomi were in Egypt, most particularly in her father's hometown of Alexandria with their mother the whole time and meanwhile at Jabir's house in Riyadh, Isaac and Sakina were watching videos about the Arabic alphabet on TV, when the latter's uncle Fadel came over to watch with them. 

After watching the video, they were introduced to a show called Miss Latifa's Arabic Class (which was not filmed in Riyadh, but rather in the neighboring country of Qatar), which apparently was the Arabic equivalent of Miss Aguya's Spanish Class especially made for middle and high school students taking Arabic classes. In the show, Latifa appears wearing a hijab, introducing herself to the viewers before teaching them useful Arabic lessons in a remote classroom.

On the other hand, Jabir and Adela went to pray at the Al-Masjid an-Nabawi in Medina and back at their house, Latifa knocked the door, with Fadel coming to the door and they greeted each other, before entering the house to watch an 24-hour live footage of Medina on TV with him, Sakina, Joelle, Isaac and Zahra for the entire night before going back to her grandparents' vacation home in Hail.

During the Islamic New Year, Jabir and his wife came back to their house in Riyadh where his brother Fadel told them that he raised his nieces during their absence and they thanked him for raising them, with him giving them, Isaac, Zahra and Latifa zamzam water before going back to his own house in Jeddah to look after his wife and son.

6 days after the Islamic New Year, Jabir, Isaac and Zahra went on a 3-hour-long road trip from Riyadh to Buraydah, where they decided to rest at a 3-star hotel before paying their experience at this hotel and leaving to pump gas into the car at a gas station. After pumping gas into the car, Jabir decided to drive to Hail, where Isaac and Zahra decided to go to Sakura Cafe and met Latifa, who was drinking her latte and she greeted them with respect. 

Upon leaving the cafe, she asked Jabir "Can you pick me up to withdraw my money at a ATM?" in which he agreed and soon, she went to his car where she was able to talk with Isaac and Zahra about her show 2 weeks ago. Soon, they arrived at Qurayyat, near the Jordanian border, where she was able to withdraw her money from her credit card to buy sunglasses.

Around 30 minutes later, the Saudi border guards inspected Jabir's car before they could go to Jordan, and they allowed him to freely drive after they had finished inspecting his car. By the time they entered Jordan, they decided to stay at a cheapest hotel in Azraq and spent a day before arriving to stay at Zarqa, before reaching Amman, at the headquarters of the JNA (Jordan News Agency). 

At first, Isaac got skeptical about this outlet until an talented anime artist came out of the door holding a notebook in his hands and he asked him "Can you draw me?" in Arabic, but he didn't understand him at first until he spoke to him in English and the latter drew his portrait from a paper before giving it to him, and he left.

While Isaac tried to find Zahra, she went missing and their tourist guide Jabir took him to search for her everywhere in Amman until they heard from a local resident that she was being held by terrorists affiliated with the organization notorious for Hwayeon's parents' abduction in Russia, making threats to bomb the Royal Jordanian Airlines headquarters, and they told him to call the police in order to arrest the terrorists, in which he did.

The police arrived at the scene and told the witnesses to stay away from that scene, before saving Zahra from the terrorists. She thanked everybody including Isaac and Jabir for saving her when she needed them the most. At the end of the day, the two along with Latifa went to the latter's car, where they talked about what happened during their experience in Jordan and went back to Saudi Arabia in less than a day with several gas station stops.

Back in Riyadh, outside of the Al Rajhi Mosque, Jabir thanked Isaac, Zahra and Latifa for going on an adventure with him, with the latter thanking the two for watching her show on TV, and so on, the four of them parted ways, with the three of them going to the King Khalid International Airport and the latter leaving for Bahrain through the King Fahd Causeway that links the two countries together.

At the end of their journey in Saudi Arabia, their tourist guide Jabir gave Isaac and Zahra plane tickets back to Lebanon and Egypt, before waving them goodbye and the three all parted ways with each other peacefully, and he left the airport to go back to his house, watching the two planes fly to their destined countries in the sky. Upon parking in his garage, he went to his house, and his wife opened the door, only to have an envelope of money from the tourists' parents as a result for taking care of their children. 

Now back in Egypt, Zahra came out of the plane, with her friend Amina happy to see her again outside of Cairo International Airport after a month-long journey and she invited her to her house in 6th of October. On the other hand, Isaac was now back in Lebanon, with his parents and friends happy to see him again.

At the end of the story, Zahra and Isaac started to text each other about their trip in Saudi Arabia and Jordan, with the former posting a picture of her and him with their tourist guide Jabir standing in front of the Kingdom Centre entrance.

SIN*SKI's Sordid Past

Original date: December 20th, 2020

Please don't go and attack SIN*SKI/Moarin/Solisoli, as she changed from her past and became a Twitch streamer, and has moved on for good. This is a journal to let anyone know about SIN*SKI/Moarin/Solisoli's origins and her days as an VOCALOID producer and Virtual YouTuber, but I'll not be referring to her by her name but rather as her aliases SIN*SKI during her VOCALOID era up into the Kyamjya controversy that'll be explained in an another journal, Moarin for her VTuber era and Solisoli for her current life after she retired as Moarin. Anyways, I'll talk about her early online presence and VOCALOID days first. 

In 2012, while in high school, SIN*SKI made her online presence on a now-defunct website called CreCrew (크리크루) (if you didn't know, it was a Korean video-sharing website that was created by the makers of SeeU and which focused on the Korean VOCALOID fandom, which lasted from 2011 to 2013) as an talented VOCALOID producer, and is notable for making songs using mostly SeeU and Camui Gakupo, with the latter being used for the Japanese arrangement of one of her popular songs, and even made two albums throughout her career, all of which were sold at a now-defunct doujinshi convention called Cake Square, which was cancelled in 2017. However, most of her songs can still be watched on Niconico, but the YouTube versions were kept private, even to this day.

In May 2016, an controversy over Kyamjya's high school bullying spread like wildfire around Twitter, and as a result, there was an separate controversy that resurfaced, this time of SIN*SKI, who also attended the same school as her, also bullying the others in school as well. When this controversy happened, she acknowledged being the bully and apologized on Twitter for her actions, before retiring from VOCALOID afterwards.

2 years later, SIN*SKI came back as an indie Virtual YouTuber named 모아린 (Moarin), whose livestreams focused on video games, artworks, and small talks like drinking mukbang and dirty jokes and not to mention, she often interacted in the VTuber gallery on DCinside, and since she was an talented artist since her SIN*SKI days. As her fans increased, at the same time, there were antis, also due to her generosity and the mixed reception of her livestream styles, which led to the tension between the users and the fans.

After the incident, Moarin was met with negative response and the strained friendship between the veteran users of the VTuber minor gallery, which got even worse as VTubers who were generous to her like Project Paryi (which got disbanded in April 2019)'s Alice Mana and Ena was also met with negative response, but that didn't stop them from creating their own VTuber agency named 541 E&C, whom I'll be referring to as 541, with Goblin (also a DCinside user, and changed their names to Lotamo after founding and joining 541 E&C), Kaen and Lucia. 

At first, 541 consisted of 6 members, and most of their profile pictures, character designs and images were drawn by Moarin, which were met with a negative reception even though most of her artwork are awesome. Not to mention, Alice Mana and Ena's initial character design were made by their initial character designer Paryi, while Lotamo made his character design himself as Goblin. However, despite that, most of her artwork are awesome, but it was considered ugly, and unfortunately gave her a negative reputation, which she always had since her SIN*SKI days.

Together, 541 participated in Seoul Comic World on August 2019 where they sold their merchandise, which was met with backlash since Moarin broke her promise of quitting doujinshi activities all together. Later on October of the same year, Lotamo retired from being a VTuber because of his health concerns and the agency's music composer Lorou was hired to join the agency itself, with three members, Han Chiho, Baekyeon and Mo Gaon following suit, joining the agency one month later. 

2 months later on December 2019, there was an upcoming male VTuber located in between its existing talents, named Vina (비냐) but his debut was cancelled due to the company behind the VTuber agency NIJISANJI, ANYCOLOR (Ichikara at the time of the writing this in 2010) entering the Korean market, forming the now-merged NIJISANJI KR, with 4 1st gen members joining and livestreaming at the same time and a month later, 541 merged into NIJISANJI KR, with the remaining members going into the Korean branch, which increased by 6 members (which included Moarin herself, Mo Gaon, Lorou, Kaen, Baekyeon and Han Chiho) even without an VTuber audition being held, to the dismay of the first-generation NIJISANJI KR talents.

Surprisingly enough, Alice Mana, Ena and Lucia didn't join NIJISANJI KR, as they were considering to retire from being VTubers for personal reasons, and Ena refused to talk about the matter, and didn't tell Moarin about their reasons for retiring as a VTuber. 

Unfortunately, someone posted an now-deleted allegation on the site that Moarin was SIN*SKI, which led to users knowing about that on other DCinside galleries and sites like Ruriweb and Twitter, in which 6 days later, Moarin made a throwaway Twitter account to post an apology and uploaded an apology video on YouTube. The next day on February 28th, she went live on Twitch where she explained everything throughout her last stream, before quitting NIJISANJI KR and retired from her VTuber activities.


5 days after she retired from VTubing activities, Moarin came back as 솔이솔이 (Solisoli) on Twitch, thus was able to reveal her real name and face for the first time, even though she physically appeared in her sister's livestream, wearing a white hat, back in September 2019. Since then, she broadcasted for about 9 months on the platform, and her last broadcast was on November of the same year, and her last video on the platform was her playing an obscure game called Crazy Arcade, which launched in 2001 in Korea but unfortunately was shutdown in North America in 2011 a year after it launched there back in 2010.

Recently, on December 12th, 2020, Solisoli posted a very long community post about why she hasn't livestreamed on Twitch for an month and turns out, she gave up on her livestreaming career and now works as a game developer the whole time, reflecting on her actions, and turns out, last time I checked on her YouTube channel, she made a livestream public on her channel, taking to account that she last streamed on YouTube back in April 2020.

Half a year later, on March 2022, there was a short-lived VTuber named Irua that was beloved by the global Blue Archive playerbase but hated by the Korean playerbase. Here's her only video:



If you know about the sad story behind this VTuber, here's a summary.


Irua was promoted as a part of Blue Archive's VTuber marketing campaign, which has been already done with the Japanese server with an NPC character named Arona. 


The reason why Irua was hated by the Korean playerbase is because the developers had allegedly used their money to make her project instead of fixing the game for them, her character designs doesn't fit within the game's setting and the poor art quality of her Live2D model, and honestly, I think that the playerbase themselves are at fault in the first place since they overreacted over a VTuber in the first place. 

Apparently, a Korean company under the name of PLUMVERSE was outsourced by the developers to make this video and the talent behind Irua was compared to Moarin by the Korean playerbase only for Blue Archive's producer to shutdown the rumors on Twitter, saying that she has nothing to do with the talent herself. On the other hand, PLUMVERSE went bankrupt 3 months after the controversy, following an major conflict involving one of its talents following a Discord leak, but that's another story.

What Happened to Yokai Planet Clarice?


There was a short-lived Japanese mobile game which was marketed as a MMORPG game that was shutdown 2 months after its initial release (which is an extremely short lifespan for an MMORPG), and since there weren't any English articles that cover this game, I will be writing about what happened to this game, but before that, if you don't know anything about this game, I highly recommend watching some videos covering this game before explaining it to you.




Alright then, let me explain to you what kind of game is this.

Yokai Planet Clarice (妖怪惑星クラリス) was a short-lived free-to-play mobile game originally scheduled to release in late May 2017, but was delayed to December 2017, made by the Japanese company Kola Entertainment for iOS and Android devices. It had an interesting concept of an planet whose human population are infected by a DNA virus and they were called "Yokai" by the humans on Earth, preventing them from going back to the earth.

The game's battle system consisted of Puzzles and Dragons-style puzzles in which you had to randomly use your characters and swipe the correct tiles to fight against enemies, and despite that, the developers are usually generous to the players, which is unusual for a MMORPG game, and allowed them to write scenarios in the game, and some of the game's scenarios were written by the others who were friendly to the players as well.

That's all I have to explain about this game is for those who didn't know about it, and here's how it began.

The Twitter account for the game has been created in February 2017, with weird Japanese texts and interesting character designs, and with the intent that the game will be released in May of the same year. The character designs were interesting and creepy at the same time, and the storyline, which sounded cool on paper, but not for some players.

The videos promoting this game were uploaded on both YouTube (which was taken down along with the channel itself) and Niconico, and the developers put out a poll suggesting the name of the one of the characters, and their Twitter community manager Kola (コラ), notorious for her horrible Japanese writing and unfamiliar with Japanese internet culture, had been scolded by the company themselves, posting an apology tweet and never learned her lesson, as she continued to create Twitter polls in the style of the monster with a obscure name.

For example, there was a female character with a rose for her head, donning a kimono was given a weird name and another character that resembles Pikotaro with his head being a cat, whose name was incomprehensible to the point I have a hard time pronouncing it. What the hell was their Twitter community manager thinking? The game became a meme of itself, and the characters were merely plagiarized, as its mascot character's face was stolen from another game character.

However, this game was scheduled to be released in May 2017, but was delayed to June and the closed beta test began on August of the same year, which unfortunately caused an incident in which there was a mistake with the email, leaking their email addresses to the closed beta testers, thus giving the developer a negative reputation. Eventually, the game was finally released in December 2017 for both iOS and Android devices.

However, it was released contrary to what the users had expected, and it gained positive reviews for allowing scenarios written by the players, being generous to the players and their unique gacha system, but failed to attract other players and however only attracted a few number of players. Upon its release, one of the characters have their name change and people were skeptical.

In the game, players were usually said to be together with an another if they're in the same server, and interacted with each other from day one, and there's an NPC named Clarice, in which the player can talk to her and go on quests through her, but there's an option on the menu, so they don't have to go through her. There's nothing else on the map, except that there are buttons you can touch at the bottom on the screen.

Not only that, there were three types of chat tabs in this game, unlike many other MMOs, which offers more than three chat tabs. The world chat was always accessible from any location the player is in no matter what quest they are in, and the field chat doesn't keep any logs and is barely used in the game. The management chat allowed you to directly communicate with the developers, in which one player asked them to give them diamonds for their birthday and afterwards, many players begged for free diamonds from them.

However, the developer was overly sensitive and put the word "運営(Unei)" as banned words in the game, so the players had no choice to write the word in romaji "UNEI". In addition to that, the game's main currencies are diamonds and coins, in which the former is a premium currency and can be exchanged for the latter in order to buy story quests and premium scenarios, which sounds like a pay to win moment. However, the premium currency can be obtained through login bonuses and as rewards for clearing quests, but free diamonds can't be exchanged for coins.

Although there were arguments, the developer somehow managed to gain a small number of audience and continued to operate the game, but were unprofessional due to the players pointing out a lack of salesmanship, as they were generous to the players by eliminating pay to win elements, which sounded like a good choice, and according to their Niconico livestream, the company's name was derived from the phrase "I love Koalas (コアラが大好き)" and the name of "Clarice" was derived from the main character of Silence of the Lambs, and they even announced a crowdfunding campaign, whose original video was uploaded on both YouTube and Niconico, featuring a young woman, whose face was censored by using a character from the game itself, who talked about the project, which according to her, started in 2015, and she showed us her plans on how could the game be improved.

Sadly, this game only lasted for two months, as they announced on Twitter that it was shutdown in February 23rd, 2018, with their servers and website shutting down in less than a hour, without a notice from the developers about the game shutting down, in which some of the game's writers declared that they didn't know about the shutdown and have asked the developer about their salaries but didn't get a response from them, and combined with the crowdfunding campaign, suspicion of the company themselves running away with the money and them being scammers arose. 

Some of the staff were outraged and the players as well, because one of them asked for refunds from them. Around that time, there was a crowdfunding campaign for the game on CAMPFIRE (a Japanese crowdfunding site) to develop new features for the game, which exceeded its goal of 100,000 yen (equivalent to 935 USD and 761 euros at the time of the game's shutdown in 2018, in which as of modifying this article in 2023, is equal to approximately 684 USD and 630 euros), and they weren't informed about the shutdown and were outraged at the situation, and damage was already done, as they weren't any notice about in-app purchase refunds, and there were plans to revive the game on Twitter, but the tweet was later deleted in less than an hour.

The reason why this game was suddenly shutdown was because the employees involved in the project quit the company, making it difficult for them to operate the game on their own and they'll delete the crowdfunding page on CAMPFIRE and refund the money to the backers. 

2 days later, one of the writers' salaries were paid and in less than a week, the money the backers spent on the crowdfunding campaign was eventually refunded, thus ending the CAMPFIRE incident. 2 weeks later, Yokai Planet Clarice was eventually delisted on Google Play and the iOS App Store. A few months later, on July 2018, a company called KBK Labo got the intellectual property rights of the game and took over its Twitter account through a transfer but was cancelled and deleted the Twitter account on January 2019, thus ending this game as a whole.

That's all I have to say about this game. If you have any more information about this game, let me know in the comments.
