Gasping for air before a large rollercoaster entrance looking at the massive grizzly bear I sit down next to the adorable Alice who leans against my shoulder staring at the glass bear nervously... Sighing I look at the quest tab...

Looking at the giant bear I can't help but wonder how I'm meant to fight it when my stamina, health, speed, attack and everything else is just 1... sure for me that's still a regular person's 2500... But still I can't heal anymore as my health is only 1 if it hits 0 I'm dead so I'm left with one choice... don't get hit... Yet I am slowed immensely and my damage is 1... Which for my stamina and stats reducing them to one is pointless due to my ridiculous foundation but reducing my damage to one just means I do one damage... I have to little stamina to hit the bear a billion and two hundred eighty million times without getting hit once... Sure my mana body and heart will support more but much like the health issue I'm stuck with one stamina... Constantly dropping down to 0 stamina then hopping back up every second is extremely mentally exhausting... I had to take hundreds of nap breaks with an adorable little pair of legs for a pillow on the way here... Even if I can dodge this boss repeatedly and hit it at my attack speed of 1... Which means one hit a second I'ma need a billion seconds to kill it... which is... Roughly 40 years... Forty years of none stop dodging and fighting would kill me pretty quickly... I mean let's be honest I don't I'd survive two days straight... So I've been looking for another option... What I've come up with hasn't been great the only thing of importance nearby is the rollercoaster... So my only real option is to hop on the rollercoaster... But how's that gonna kill the giant grizzly? Let alone killing it surviving the up bit of the rollercoaster seems unlikely... Sighing I am left with only one choice so I shrug and go with it... If it wasn't for discovering that the figures along the way do regular damage to one another I never would have made it this far... I'd have had to quite at the last ride... Dropping my stats to one is a ridiculous debuff especially since all the figures leading here had six million four hundred thousand health... So basically I had to just dodge everything and have them kill each other which was tricky at first especially getting the last guy to die... I managed to get rid of all but that guy with that tactic but I still had to fight for a solid 2 hours of hitting it with one damage to get rid of the final bit of it's health... Sadly dragging the figures to the boss wasn't an option I tried... They just return to where they were... So left with no choice after my little rest I lift up my nervous little companion and enter stealth. Sneaking around the bear and climbing up the platform. Almost as if designed to piss of the player the platform is just covered in things that could make a noise to wake the sleeping bear. Eventually I make it to the control panel with the curious little Alice playing hide and seek with herself in my shirt... Then I hit the switch as the lights turn on then press the go button after a moment to check to see if the bear has woken then we rush to jump into the already moving roller coaster... Well I say we but it was mostly my super slow ass exhausting myself with every step to reach the rollercoaster just in time for it to leave the platform. I hopped into the last seat and Alice bounces about playfully as she stands up on my lap and pulls the safety bar down onto herself sitting back onto my lap... Looking at that concerned I immediately braced my arms onto the already locked in place bar as I hear all the other bars drop down onto the empty chairs making sure Alice isn't squished between me and the bar. The familiar clinking noise of the tracks sounds out as the rollercoaster slowly moves up the ramp. Looking down towards the front of the platform I notice the bear shift in it's sleep but not wake up.
As we neared the peak of the ramp the first couple of cars has already past the ramp and with a low thunk the tracks release and the cars roll downwards at a fast speed my arms immediately being put to work as I hold up my full weight on the tiny bar protecting the little Alice who is happily holding my arms looking around in awe and a little fear as we speed along the track. To the sound of a sudden roar. A lumbering figure rises up and chases after us. We near a loop as it gets close and lurches out to bite and the front cars smash into the nose of the bear and I turn and hug Alice tightly as countless glass shards fly about in the air and I get tons of little wounds, a blinded debuff and a bleeding debuff. Luckily I remove the bleeding debuff with heal but the blind sticks around so I'm stuck not knowing if Alice is ok as I battle my own weight feeling the cart still speeding along the track and a twice as angry roar quickly catching up again. Feeling the cart go upside down I immediately brace myself to take the shower of glass for Alice again and hear the loud bang along with the shredding pain of the glass tearing into me luckily doing no damage but the wounds must immediately be healed and the timer on my blind sticks. Out of concern I cast an extra regeneration and heal onto the adorable little one curled up in my embrace who is still hopping about even now but mostly to the sound of the repeated slamming of the rollercoaster on the bears face... How we keep are momentum is a mystery of magic... it took 20 separate glass showers till the roaring stopped along with the thuds but the rollercoaster kept moving and the little Alice in my arms popped her head out of my embrace idk if it's safe so I continuously cast heal on her until finally I regain my sight as the rollercoaster comes to a slow stop. My blood figure climbs from the car before I quickly begin inspect the bloody Alice for wounds but to my relief all the blood is mine. I do my best to wipe off all the blood before I grab an old search from my inventory and help Alice change out of her blood soaked dress.
After she's all changed and cleanish... Still so much blood in her hair... I begin to search for the bears body... It took awhile of back tracking along the literal tracks of the rollercoaster but eventually I found the giant glass shards pile it's got a smashed up disfigured head but I can still recognize that giant body. Looting it I carry Alice and begin to look for a restroom in this carnival. No showers but eventually I find a place with a working hose hooked up to what appears to be a dunk tank filled with fish skeletons... inactive piranha death dunk tank? Shrugging I strip then the naked Alice sits down on my lap as I use the house to give her a shower... She doesn't seem to recognize the weirdness of sitting directly ontop of my gentles but she's a little girl and I'm not exactly into the so I hold her still just encase don't want her hopping about and waking up her seat... Quickly Alice's pretty little hair has been washed clean and I spend the next hour trying to braid it based on my memory of watching Affie braid Ela's hair... It took some serious effort but the already extremely cute Alice got a worthy hair do. Wrapping her up in another spare shirt and having her sit on my towel I bath myself and then I put on some spare pants and begin to design Alice a new dress based on the design of the old dress... Also some panties... I noticed when changing her she never had any to begin with which is deeply creepy... Who designed this quest? Fucking not ok... After four hours of work and the playful Alice climbing all over me excited to get a new dress... Having finished the panties and put them on her awhile ago I finally finished the dress and helped her out of my spare shirt before helping her into the dress. Her pretty blue eyes still whiteless, but her grey skin is now peachy and rosy like it should be I noticed back on the ferris wheel that each ride restores a bit of color to her body but now her beautiful dark green curly hair and the blackish red fabric I had on hand made for an extremely adorable Noble lady. Smiling I lifted her up and carried her to the only place I can think this quest ends at... The teacup ride... After all it was always meant to end in a tea party.
After about twenty minutes of walking we finally managed to reach the teacup ride and I climbed into it sat alice down then went to one of the other rides to retrieve a teacup for Alice before setting all her stuffed animals around the table and began mixing the blood with the glass with makes it into a clear clay like substance which I quickly mold into a tea set and set up whilst Alice takes a nap between playing with her dolls. Eventually the whole set is done and I replace the teacups present.
*Quest: Never to be Free Complete
Difficult*64
Results: Impossible.
Reward: Tea Party invitation. Tea leaves and some special tea water.
Unknown Reward Pending...*
Huh... I've never seen an impossible result... Shrugging I take out the tea leaves and water and brew some tea for the little Alice who frowns suddenly and sadly gets out of the teacup.
"Alice where you going?" Alice looks at the stuffed animals and tea longingly before tears begin to fall from her eyes as she looks me in the eye. For the first time Alice's sealed mouth opens sure she could part her lips before to drink the tea but only by a crack. A soft and melodious voice breaks the silence of the carnival that I hadn't even noticed was devoid of the creepy laughter till just now.
"I'm sorry Big brother but I forgot my invitation and Mr.Teddy says I can't have tea without an invitation." Seeing her sad face I laugh a little in side... what a mean quest giving the regular rewards away just to make the little girl happy... What kinda greedy player would keep a worthless piece of paper of that? Smiling I took out the invitation I was just given and hand it to Alice who looks at it longingly but shakes her head.
"No, Big brother that's yours I can't take it or teddy will be mad at you and kick you out of the tea party." Shaking my head I take her hand and place the invitation into it. I smiled and took my cup of tea and opened the door for her.
"Then I guess I'll wait for you outside mylady" I said with a flourish as I bowed comically. Alice giggled and happily ran into the tea cup to have her party and as I closed the door behind her everything seemed to shatter. Seeing her pretty face happily sipping tea with her dollies shattering was a bit haunting but a happy sad moment as well closing my eyes as a bright light blinded me I'm back outside staring at Alice again... But this one is sitting with hollow eyes and a big smile thousands of chains shattered and littered across the ground between her and the canyon walls. Alice's eyes light up a couple seconds later before she stands up quickly and hugs me tears streaming from her face and then vanishes.
Looking at the quest window that opened I finally see what the unknown reward is...
*Reward: [Alice's Soul]
Acid Blood of Ancient Zombie
Zombie Powder*
Looking at the little stone in my inventory I smiled and then looked deeper into the canyon... Time to punish those who hurt Alice and hopefully finish more parts of my main quest.
