A Forum Quest created and run by a man who goes by the name "Reaver".
It begins with a kobold named Mudy awakening within a small box. He is teleported to a world of fantasy, and promptly sets out to claim a kingdom as his own. It only gets better from there.

. WARNING: Some of the threads there contain some NSFW material.
This game provides examples of:
- And Then John Was a Zombie: Ivar and Rune, a pair of paladins who were forced into servitude under Calavera upon losing a battle of wits.
- Artifact of Doom: Darkbeing, the Sword of Betrayal. A hero commissioned a demonic sword from one demon to kill another, but that let his target curse the sword with their dying breath to turn him and all future wielders into Ax-Crazy psychos. Axebeard goes nuts just by holding it, then Raital gets her hands on it and purges some of the Skullking's forces. Eventually, Raital's willpower (and love) overwhelms the sword, destroying its power source.
- Art Evolution: And◊ HOW!◊
- Author Appeal: Given this and his other quests, it's pretty clear Reaver has some sort of...interest in incest. So if you're expecting a Mudy isn't Latral plot twist, you're going to be disappointed.
- Back from the Dead: Calavera, but then again, he is a Lich, and it wasn't even certain that Swordplague cut the soul up properly.
- BFS: Mudy carries one that's bigger than himself, inside his own body.
- Big, Screwed-Up Family and Royally Screwed Up: The Blutjaegers spent all their childhoods in an ancient abandoned citadel, training to become powerful warriors and destroyers, with a loveless hellspawn as a mother and no father of any kind. Even those of them that did not grow up to become depraved and psychotic monsters share some rather odd personality quirks.
- Brother–Sister Incest: Mudy and Raital? Siblings. When do we find out? The very night Mudy "becomes a man".
- Calling the Old Man Out: "I am not you. And for that I am forever thankful. I would rather be weak than exist in a world where your corruption rules."
- Cuteness Proximity: Mudy, once he witnesses the transformation of his big sister Kuhral. Complete with a Shout-Out to xkcd.
-
Development Hell - Empowered Badass Normal: Mudy has hidden powers but he can't control any of them, such as the ability to turn most of his blood into a giant's sword - which makes him completely powerless because he's anemic when said blood is in his sword, so he relies on his own bardic charisma and his allies (who can use some of these powers through Mudy) to forge through problems.
- Fanservice: Ample amounts, particularly regarding Darkmoon Dagger.
- Fan Disservice: Cheryl the sandworm and Axebeard during the hot springs episode deserve special mention.
- Heroic BSoD: "Mudy has succumbed to illnes[sic]: LOVE. LOVE has escalated into DESPAIR."
- Long-Lost Relative: "I am Latral."
- Horrible Judge of Character: Mudy thought Hans and Gunter would be loyal minions despite previously working for an overlord, never making any attempts to be friends, and generally acting weird. They bide their time and then attempt a mass assassination when Mudy brings them as ambassadors into their enemy's capital.
- Hot Springs Episode: Also contains a minor Shout-Out to Ruby Quest. And sibling sex.
- Kavorka Man: Mudy has a way of inadvertently seducing/arousing almost all of the females he encounters, often accidentally.
- Kingmaker Scenario: Mudy gets appointed by Darkmoon's queendom to decide which of the five 'princesses' should inherit the throne. Helping matters is that he's a prince of the kingdom that is currently annexing her queendom, while also being rebellious enough to make an informed decision that goes against his kingdom's interests. After realizing that every princess is flawed but easily balances the others, he ends up breaking the crown and it turns into five circlets, creating a royal council.
- Kissing Under the Influence: A mind-controlling slave collar made forced Mudy to kiss a Blutjaeger.
- Mayfly–December Romance: Darkmoon? 922 years old. Totenkopf? Eleven.
- Merged Reality: At one point just as things seem truly fucked, a fey sends Mudy into the past to foil the assassination that set the series of perilous events in motion. It works.
- Moment Killer: Hans and Gunther, several times. Their physical appearance does not help.
- Names to Run Away from Really Fast: "Blutjaeger" translates to "Bloodhunter".
- No Periods, Period: Averted with Darkmoon, for comic relief.
- One-Man Army: Stormplague the bounty hunter. Several Blutjaegers would seem to count as well.
- Royals Who Actually Do Something: The Blutjaegers, princes and princesses all, are quite active.
- Running Gag: "He also feels a hand going up his leg."
- Shout-Out: The Ruby Quest one in the Hot Springs Episode. There's also a character that bears a suspicious resemblance to the lead of Weaver's Dive Quest.
- Success Through Insanity: Rudy typically performs 'sneak attacks' by doing something so spontaneous and nonsensical that his enemies are stunned speechless - and then he attacks. He managed to stun his brother long enough to stab him by inventing wrestling commentary. In a fantasy world. In mid-air freefall.
