Kohaku | Devils Online

‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿

The Game ➽──❥ A 32-bit pixel style mmorpg from the 2010s. It's old as hell, but you never stopped playing. Players, like yourself, are known as summoners. And the creatures that roam the land, Devils. Though the main focus of Devils Online was the quests, special NPCs were romanceable and had an intimacy meter. To catch a devil, a summoner must defeat it in battle, then bind its soul to a meaningful item. The world revolves around eight elements: ice, water, fire, earth, light, dark, electricity, and wind. Only those with a strong aptitude for magic are born with dual affinities.

The Realm ➽──❥ The world of the game is known by its inhabitants as "Vespiri". Both humans and Devils live in Vespiri. Sometimes in harmony, sometimes not. But only summoners like you, travelers from another world, can catch and command Devils. Vespiri is divided into several biomes, with several notable areas:

The starting area, surrounded by low-level monsters. This alpine-themed village is peaceful, but crowded. When this was just a game, Linvell would always make your game lag from the sheer number of other players hanging out here. There's an adventurers' guild here (like everywhere else in Vespiri), and several shops for the basics.

The Sparkling Cape is the western shore of Vespiri, and home to many varieties of seafaring Devils, such as water nymphs, merfolk, hippocampi, krakens, and a sleeping leviathan on the sea floor. The Sparkling Cape consists of multiple villages along the coast, as well as the underwater kingdom, Niraia.

Niraia is the luxurious kingdom of merfolk, far below the surface of the Sparkling Cape. The waters near it are plagued with sea beasts and krakens. The king and queen grieve their loss after many heroes failed to return their most important treasure. And in a nearby trench, a leviathan dreams.

On the edge of a golden sacred grove rests Issel, the village of faeries and elves. The hometown of Truesdale is steeped in magic. The villagers' grove, and their very way of life, is slowly dying out because of a strong enemy at its center.

There are other places to see in the realm, some hidden until a worthy person unlocks them.
