Oh. Okay. *You gave up on life, and your goal. You regret nothing, for some reason.. but you feel like there's more you could've done, in some alternate timeline...* [[Congratulations, you got the LAZY ENDING. Click here to go back to the start. ->please]]

So, weirdcore realm first huh? *ye* Thought we already checked here. *WE CAN CHECK AGAIN!! The thing can still m o v e* ..True. So, which way? [[...actually scartch that you had a point let's go back -> REALM SELECTION]] [[Those funky woods over there look like a good place to start -> Mushroom Woods]] [[Howzabout that city over there? -> REDACTED City]]

Hmm, scenecore realm, nice. [[OW MY EYES WE NEED TO GO BACK -> REALM SELECTION]]

Ah, the webcore realm. Pop-up ads everywhere, viruses dwelling in nearly every back alley, and many popular franchises that i cant properly name due to copyright laws EVERYWHERE. So, where to? [[COPYRIGHT LAWS? oh hell no i dont wanna get sued we go back. -> REALM SELECTION]]

Stickperson dimension??? *They'll stick right out here!* TRUE AND I HATE IT. So where to? [[Actually nevermind i dont wanna get stabbed by anything -> REALM SELECTION]]

Here? *I dunno i;ve just wanted an excuse to go here.* Welp you're here. [[Cool, we can go now. -> REALM SELECTION]]

Welp, alright, off we go then. *I really hope this thing is in here.* Trust me, it probably will be. Cryptids LOVE forests, and this is certainly a forest. *Yeah but this forest can KILL.* True, but maybe the cryptid is immune to it? *Who's being nonsensical NOW-* GOD- *hhehehehehhe* ...just keep walking.

T33V33: Actually, yeah, a couple weeks ago i did a story on this weird green cryptid that terrorized the city for a bit before running off, it actually went into this forest. if you wanna know more, you can run back to the city and talk a bit with them. come on back to me if you wanna know more! [[I'll do that, thank you tv person!!! -> INTO THE CITY]]

I'm sure you'll find something eventually. [[HHHHH MORE WALKING. Ok, this has helped a lot, thank you random person. -> weirdcore continue, but without death!]]

**like two hours later** *HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WE HAVENT FOUND ANYTHING* Dude at least we aren't dead ok *Yeah i know but we could've at least FOUND SOMETHING.* Yeah this was a pretty fruitless effort wasn't it *I meannnnnn that tv person seemed pretty cool and smart and interacting with them was cool* You're gonna go back and drag them along on this crazy mission arent yo- ***Y E S.*** frick [[OFF WE GO!! -> BACK TO THE TV PERSON]]
