** [[spoiler:Arguably Old Guy The King. S O U L is trying to punish you and certainly acts evil, but he is mad at you for murdering someone just because an old man told you to. The king, on the other hand, burned Town to the ground.]]
** [[spoiler:Final Dragon seems to imply that S O U L is not really your soul and that the king was preparing Town for the arrival of S O U L long before he gave the quest to kill Ogre. This seems to make S O U L and the king co-big bads.]]

Then again, so little is revealed about HERO that he may or may not be one of these.]]

** Era Ovation Acceptance, and the series as a whole: [[spoiler:The [[AuthorAvatar author appears]] and talks for a bit, but then walks Morshu home. Suddenly, a Dimension Stability Officer shows up and reveals the author to actually be an eldritch parasite named Shachihata who is trying to activate [[NoFourthWall the credits sequence]] so that she can eat the world. The Officer admits he can't really do anything about it, though, but implies that Shachihata and S O U L will be battling for the world, and encourages Morshu to [[EnemyMine help S O U L win]], since a world taken over by S O U L is better than no world at all.

Okay. Quest Fantasy is a series of RPGMaker VX Ace games of [[StylisticSuck intentionally low quality]]. Default graphics and sound, terrible grammar, overly cliched plotlines... HERO receives a mission from the king to kill an Ogre and he goes and does that. [[spoiler:After that, [[SurpriseCreepy things get weird]]. [[MindScrew REALLY weird]].]] Put simply, [[spoiler:an eldritch being named S O U L invades the universe and begins corrupting it, which involves among other things turning off the SoBadItsGood. The rest of the series follows various protagonists adventures [[AnachronicOrder in various periods of time]] that all seem to end in their deaths.]]
