Introduction
The rolling waves gently slapped against the small boat you were in, a thin blanket was the only thing you had to protect against the cold rain pouring down on you. It was doing a bad job of that, but you didn't dare. You looked up and stared through the storm to see the destination looming over you. A titanic mountain that pierced into the sky and covered the horizon, storming clouds obscuring the summit. This was known as the mountain of the God-King, said God-King lived at the top where the peak brushes against the heavens.

Rumor had it that whoever could reach the summit would be blessed with a wish for anything they want by the God-King. However, no one has ever reached the summit before...or those who did have never come back down. Gripping the blanket, you smirked, it had taken you a long time to get here, but soon nothing will stop you from getting your wish! You had trained much too hard to fail now! You closed your eyes, trying your best to sleep in the poor conditions.

---

It was morning when you awoke, the boat you were on had landed on a sandy shore. You could see the beach was covered in rusted weaponry, bleached bones, and wreckage from the sea, but this didn't deter you. Standing up, you walked off the boat and into the shadow covered shore, a singular trail leading your way. You saw more signs of battle and as you got closer and closer to the mountain, the signs just got more fresh. Eventually, you were seeing rotting corpses that slowly turned into fresh ones as you reached your destination.

At the very base of the mountain was an extremely large building, made of ancient stone. You saw a crowd of people surrounding it, and some even trying to scale the sides of the mountain, but they were always brought tumbling down for some reason or another. You pushed through the crowd, those who tried to angrily react against you were stopped when you glared at them. Soon you entered the building, where you saw another huge crowd, pressing themselves up against a large stone door. When you eyed the door, the grinding of stone shocked everyone as the door began to open! The crowd rushed through and you merely waited until you were the only one left.

Cracking your neck, you walked through the door and suddenly everything became pitch black as the door closed behind you. A groan escaped your lips as you became violently dizzy and you fell onto the floor, fading away from consciousness...

---

"Why have you come to my mountain, child?" a deep voice asked. The voice was very smooth and it trickled down your body like warm butter.

"I have come to wish for my greatest desire..." you answered back to the void. You didn't even know where you were, but you knew you had to answer.

"Many try, all have failed. Do you wish to continue?" the voice gently inquired.

"Yes..."

"Tell me, what is your wish? Why would you risk your life to climb to my summit, child?"

"..."

Why do you want to climb the God-King's mountain?

Playing as a Magic Killer huh, Sounds interesting. let's do it.

Magical girl killer to be exact. Because I find having a bunch of emotional teenaged girls having "cutesy" magical god-like powers could be interesting monsters and villains for us to fight.

And I find it deeply amusing if the greatest monsters in the world are being powered by friendship,justice,hope, love,and other magical girl associated emotions and concepts.:V

Well yes our main enemy would be the Magical Girls as they have a bigger impact on humanity as a whole but we can't forget about the capricious Fae or the Prideful Mages, as well as any other beings who can fit the bill of oppressing humanity.

Don't think there's many quests with immortality seeking PC. Could be interesting.
 
[X] Your greatest wish is to eat the world's best sandwich!

Best anime protagonist ever.
 
I just want to fight magical girls, and have them as a legitimate and very serious force of monsters and such. Since any quest involving them has been the most or less same, I thought it would be a ballsy and fun idea for a wish.

Just no at the sandwich wish, I have been struggling to find a (kinda) serious quest for a long time now.

Because I want to play a quest where we aren't the center of the universe. Our new best friend is.
