Monster Girl Quest



Monster Girl Quest (aka Monmusu Quest: Lose and the Girls Rape You) is an eroge created by a small doujin group, inspired by The Monster Girl Encyclopedia. So far, only the first two chapters have been released and only a fan-translation (albeit a high-quality one) is available. All in all three chapters are currently planned.

Set In a World where Cute Monster Girls abound, the story follows Luka, a boy with aspirations of becoming a hero. On the day of his baptism as a Hero, his village is attacked by a slime girl. After defeating her and thus missing out on his baptism, Luka stumbles upon Alice, a lamia who apparently fell from the sky. After receiving a vision from the goddess Ilias, Luka resolves to set out on a quest to confront the Monster Lord in the hope of creating a world where humans and monsters can live together in harmony. Alice, seeing something special in Luka, decides to tag along under the pretense of seeing the world and all its delicacies.

Oh yeah, did we mention that the monster girls feed on and procreate with the semen of human males, usually against the man's will? To say that this game is explicit is to say that the Atlantic Ocean is damp. Just a heads up for anyone thinking of downloading it.

As of December 6th, 2013 all three chapters are completely fan translated and can be found at RogueTranslator's blog just like the previous chapters.

Now has its own wiki!

Tropes appearing in this series

 * After Combat Recovery: Somewhat justified since almost all monsters use only pleasure attacks and any "recovery" is merely relaxing until the boner goes away. Turns out Luka can also recover from real wounds this way.
 * Alice: What the hell is wrong with your body??
 * Ahoge: Sylph has idiot hair, to no one's surprise.
 * Alice Allusion: There seem to be no connection between Alice and Alice at first. But in second chapter, reveal that each Monster Lord take the name Alice after first one. Then you see Black Alice, a blond little girl in blue dress
 * All Women Are Lustful: At least all the monster women are (Justified since their sustenance is male semen)
 * Always Chaotic Evil: Deconstructed. The human population as a whole firmly believes that all monsters are evil, but they're as much victim as villain, and while they're most certainly rapists, they literally feed on sex, and the Church has decreed that any consenting partner is a heretic. Other than the rape part, monsters' alignment spans the gamut, with many vile monsters, many kind-hearted ones, and many in the middle, and many monsters (especially succubi) are quite happy to find compromises that allow them to meet consenting partners.
 * A Man Is Not a Virgin: Subverted. Luka's first real intercourse (that doesn't result in a Game Over) is near the end of Part 2.
 * And I Must Scream: Frederika. Having died of a disease her body is used as a basis for Chrome's ultimate zombie presumably going under some serious Body Horror in the process. When Luka fights her it becomes clear that her mind and soul is still there and very much aware as she manages several moments of clarity throughout the battle and uses them to beg Luka to kill her. Ultimately she gets to die peacefully afterwards.
 * Art Shift: Most of the major characters and some of the standard monsters have much more impressive artwork than most due to differing artists. Sometimes this is themed; the enemies in the haunted mansion appear to be watercolors or something.
 * Art Evolution: Part 2 has much better art than Part 1. Luka's character portrait even looks Badass.
 * Asskicking Equals Authority: The Monster Lord is chosen by taking all the applicants and having them fight each other. Explicitly justified since there are powerful monsters out there, and if the Monster Lord wasn't the strongest, there would be no way to keep them in line. It is also noted that the daughter of every Monster Lord since the first has come out on top, a fact Alice takes great pride in.
 * Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: A giant sandworm girl. She rapes Luka by simply picking him up and sucking on him like a lollipop.
 * Also the Koryuu, a giant dragon turtle which likewise takes Luka in her mouth and sucks on him.
 * Author Appeal: Obviously for Cute Monster Girls, but special mention should go to the sheer amount of tentacles and soft core vore.
 * Awesome but Impractical: Quadruple Giga. Could OHKO any monster you meet till the end of Part 2, but takes 4 rounds to charge and fails if you're attacked in that time.
 * Babies Ever After: With the harpies, the kitsunes and the slug girl if you lose to them-- among many others. Luka even remarks in some cases that it isn't so bad.
 * Battle Couple: The ending of Part 2 implies that Luka and Alice will be this in Part 3.
 * Battle Strip / One-Winged Angel: When Lamia in the first chapter, Alma Elma and Tamamo in the second, go all-out in their final battles against Luka, they strip down to the nude. It's probably symbolic of them shedding everything tying them down and showing Luka what they really are capable of...although there might be other reasons. Tamamo puts them on again before using her final attack, though. This will count for Ilias at the end of Part 3.
 * Better Than a Bare Bulb: There is a lot of Lampshade Hanging about [=RPGs=].
 * Big Bad: The Monster Lord. Or so Luka thinks at first.
 * Big Eater: Alice.
 * Bi the Way: The Scorpion Girl seems just as content with raping girls as she is with raping guys.
 * Sara's in love with Granberia, but doesn't seem to have a problem giving Luka a blowjob as a reward for his help.
 * Blood Knight: Granberia. She is of the Would Not Shoot A Civilian variety and doesn't actually kill anyone. She is also one of the few enemies that doesn't use "pleasure" attacks against Luka and actually fights him.
 * Blood Splattered Warrior: Alice's state after fighting and killing dozens if not hundreds of chimera monsters. She even notes none of the blood on her is her own.
 * Body Horror: The Chimera Dryad.
 * The Suck Vore is created from a human woman. We get to see the process in the recent patch.
 * Bonus Boss: The Doppelganger, added in an update to the English version of the game and unlocked by completing the Monsterpedia.
 * Boring but Practical: Plot-wise. The Enrikan Shirt looks like a mundane shirt, but is really the best piece of protection gear in Iliasburg weapon shop. Most heroes (Including Luka, at first) ignore it in favor of something cooler.
 * Boss Rush:
 * Breaking the Fourth Wall: All the time.
 * Break the Cutie: Luka gets rather broken on many emotional fronts throughout the story.
 * Brutal Honesty: Many examples, both straight and subverted.
 * In a village:
 * Soldier A: I came to defend this village! Even if I'm left completely exhausted, I won't regret it!
 * Alice: ...Damn pervert.
 * Soldier B: I came here to have sex with a Succubus! If I'm left completely exhausted, that will be my reward!
 * Alice: ...Damn honest.
 * Calling Your Attacks.
 * Calling Your Orgasms.
 * The Cameo: Patch 2.05 adds Ika Musume. While she's a complete pushover, she does have higher quality art and more rape scenes than most monsters.
 * Cap: Fight with cursed book pages consists of Page 17, Page 257 and Page 65537. They are all common powers of two, plus one.
 * Cape Wings: The loli Vampire Girl has them, although she isn't particularly badass.
 * Chandler's Law: Most of the conversations end with "and then a monster appeared."
 * Chekhov's Gun: Many.
 * The massacre at Remina, apparently perpetrated by monsters against humans. Alice later reveals that, leaving the exact details of the event a mystery. In second chapter, Luka can visit the ruin of Remina and If there's any doubt,
 * Luka's mother's ring, which is brought up multiple times and from which Alice feels no magic whatsoever. Tamamo points out in the second chapter that this kind of ring always emits some magic power, so it's actually odd that it doesn't.
 * The mystery behind Luka's powers that he can only use while unconscious.
 * The orbs, two of which can be found during the first chapter. Alice reacts to the discovery of the first with some concern, but says it's OK so long as there's only one. It may be fortunate for Luka that she isn't with him when he receives the second. Their actual function involves some kind of "Holy Wings." In second chapter, they're used to summon Garuda.
 * The scientist who comes to visit Chrome at the haunted mansion and Lily at the witch mansion. In second chapter, she's Promesthein, The Dragon to Ilias.
 * Chronic Hero Syndrome
 * Contractual Genre Blindness: Luka is more often this than Dangerously Genre Savvy. He knows that acting like an Idiot Hero is well... idiotic, but it's often the right thing to do!
 * Controllable Helplessness: Take a hit from certain moves, and you can't get free no matter how many times you tell Luka to struggle.
 * Corrupt the Cutie: Many, many Monsters do this to Luka if they get their hands on him.
 * Can even happen to the PLAYER.
 * Crapsack World: Nevermind monster girls raping every man in their sight, morals and racism are getting more and more rotten in this game. Gee, thanks a lot, Ilias Kreuz!
 * Creepy Child: The first impression you will get from Chrome, and It Got Worse. is just as bad.
 * Creepy Doll: The Cursed Doll in haunted house. As well as Gnome's Mud Dolls.
 * Crucified Hero Shot: One of the preview [=CGs=] for part 3 shows Luka being held in such a pose by while being raped.
 * Crystal Dragon Jesus: The religion that worships Ilias.
 * Curb Stomp Battle: Monsters often tend to underestimate Luka.
 * Picking a fight with Alice or Tamamo will grant Luka a quick defeat.
 * Cute and Psycho: Cupid from the end of second chapter, has a full dose of moe, a playful smile, and has way too much fun killing monsters.
 * Cute Monster Girl: The entire game revolves around them.
 * Your Mileage May Vary on the "cute" part for many of them. Some are cute, some are sexy, some are so-so and some are downright Nightmare Fuel.
 * Deconstruction: Takes every cliche about role playing games and their hentai variants, lampshades and mocks every one of them, and then takes them apart and shows how it would really work if those cliches were actually played for story drama, all the time being very aware of how it still plays those cliches straight and often pokes fun at itself.
 * Determinator:
 * Game Two Final Dungeon: You reach the monster lord castle at the end of the second game in the trilogy.
 * The Ditz: The Kraken at the bottom of the Sea Temple. Unlike most sea creatures she's pretty friendly, but has a tendency to jump to conclusions, leading to a boss battle. Later hinted that she might not be so ditzy after all.
 * Sylph is quite an airhead too.
 * Does Not Know Her Own Strength: It is all too easy for Ilias to accidentally squish your level one arse into paste with her little finger in the tutorial if you don't tell her not to.
 * Double Standard Rape (Female on Male): You wouldn't be playing it otherwise. In the first chapter alone, Alice forces herself on Luka three times (each increasingly intimate), although whether Luka actually has a problem with it remains to be seen.
 * Near the end of Part 2, they finally have sex. It's still presented as rape.
 * Elemental Powers: The elemental spirits and the Four Heavenly Knights. The bandits go for the theme, but don't quite pull it off.
 * Blow You Away: Hee. Sylph, the great spirit of wind and Alma Elma, the Succubus of the Heavenly Knights.
 * Dishing Out Dirt: Gnome, the great spirit of earth and Tamamo, the Kitsune of the Heavenly Knights.
 * Making A Splash: Undine, the great spirit of water and Erubetie, the of the Heavenly Knights.
 * Playing with Fire: Salamander, the great spirit of fire and Granberia, the Dragon of the Heavenly Knights.
 * Engagement Challenge: Many monster races have some sort of requirement before marriage can happen. Luka actually ends up assisting in two different ones.
 * Alice will only marry a man stronger than her.
 * Even the Girls Want Her: Granberia, unbeknownst to her.
 * Everything Trying to Rape You: Except Granberia, as long as you don't lose to her.
 * The Dragon Pup is also an exception unless you lose, as well - this may be the case for all dragons, as they are warriors at heart.
 * Expecting Someone Taller: An early side-quest involves defeating a group of Monster Girl bandits that includes a vampire and a dragon. Also Tamamo, after hard battle against Nanabi, Luka was surprised to see her as a cute little girl.
 * Explosive Breeder: Harpies are explicitly stated to be an example.
 * But they got nothing on the Beelzebubs. If the 3 sealed on Selene's ship had broken free, they apparently would have overrun the entire world in short order.
 * Fake Difficulty: Prominent in the first game, irritatingly common in the second. Notably, in some battles of Part 2, no matter how cautious the player plays, your survival hinges on Sylph's dodge buff - which triggers completely at random. Thankfully this was cut back severely for chapter 3. There are still some random elements in play, but Serene Mind and are much more reliable than they were before.
 * Fake Ultimate Hero: Many baptized heroes are in for profit and not being so brave. Many characters acknowledge this.
 * Luka's repeatly called this by Alice. Ironically, he's more heroic than any H-Game hero can be.
 * Fallen Hero/The Paragon Always Rebels: Deconstructed with . It runs in his family.
 * Fan Nickname: Some have taken to call Luka "Luka".
 * Fan Translation: Could almost be considered an adaptation, as the translator also tried his best to fix issues with saving the game on non-japanese systems.
 * Foreshadowing: Fairies can only been seen by those with weak faith in Illias.
 * Four Is Death: The Four Heavenly Knights/Shitenno.
 * Fourth Wall Observer: A few members of the main cast and recurring characters.
 * Amira the Unfortunate Lamia, and by extension Luka.
 * Luka: Why is she posing like that?
 * Amira: I don't have a choice. I only have this one picture. Also, in this position, I can keep my eye on the 'skip' button.
 * Luka: Hey! Don't talk about your own CG!
 * Alice ridicules the character for maintaining a useless technique on his skill bar.
 * There's a scholar in San Illia who mentions that he's found a passage in a book stating that anyone who annoys Illias with repeated 'Evalution Meetings' will be punished. Of course, he has no idea what that means, so it's more like he's just noticed the Fourth Wall.
 * Ilias is also aware of the Fourth Wall.
 * Ilias: Remember Luka, I am always watching over you, even on the Status Screen!
 * God Of Evil: The first Monster Lord, whose Alice mention during the Haunted House quest.
 * Good Is Not Dumb: Luka, in spite of Alice's first impression]].
 * Good Thing You Can Heal: The skill you use most throughout the game is Meditation, which regenerates half your health.
 * Grey And Gray Morality: On the one hand, many of the monsters really are dangerous, ranging from the simply jerkass to Always Chaotic Evil beings like the Ropers. On the other, Ilias's religion is driving many species to extinction, and even docile monsters like Mermaids are the target of pro-Ilias terrorists.
 * Guide Dang It: Some of the fights are ridiculously difficult, or even luck-based on the higher difficulties. This is especially frustrating with certain enemies who have instant-win attacks that you barely get a warning for.
 * The second Granberia fight. To win, you have to use three out of five currently available special attacks, and you have just about enough time to build up enough SP to use them. And it's not entirely clear which ones you are meant to use. (To be honest, though, moderately obvious which specials you are supposed to use, since the three you're supposed to use are the only ones that actually cause damage).
 * Any bind of the "attack to escape" variety. There's little to no indication that it will be different than the regular "struggle to break free" kind, unless you pay incredible attention to detail (either the monster's body type or the text itself).
 * Then again, Ilias provides a pretty good guide after you lose any battle for the first time.
 * H-Game POV Character: Type I for Luka.
 * Half-Human Hybrid: Averted. Most children between monster girls and human males are monster girls, though a human male may rarely be born. There is also a chance that the human male may inherit his mother's ability to use magic.
 * The royal family of Sabasa are descendants of the Sphinx.
 * Harder Than Hard: Hell difficulty. Only accessible through the Encyclopedia and the outcome is mostly based on pure luck.
 * The Mimic, fortunately an optional encounter.
 * Have a Nice Death: Ilias will always provide helpful advice whenever you get a bad end, but, humorously, as time goes on she becomes more and more suspicious that you're losing on purpose, and her comments only get funnier.
 * Heroic Sacrifice:
 * Again with
 * Played straight by the pirate queen Selene. After opening a certain box and unleashing a trio of voracious fly-demons, she threw up a barrier around her ship, sealing herself, her crew, and the demons within. Alice remarks that given the Beelzebub monster's high reproduction rate, this act in all likelihood saved the world.
 * Hey, You: Alice initially addresses Luka with 'kisama'. This is either archaic and very polite or incredibly disrespectful and offensive. Given Alice's personality, it could be either one (but more likely the latter).
 * Hopeless Boss Fight: Tamamo, and the Sphinx. Both are optional though. Played with on numerous occasions when it's made clear that you can't actually defeat the boss, you just have to wait out the fight until something happens.
 * Both fights against are optional and unwinnable.
 * Fights against the four knights always seem hopeless and you usually can't defeat them normally.
 * How Unscientific: Alice repeatedly says that things like ghosts are superstitions and not real. Hearing that from makes it only more ridiculous. Then we find out she is strikingly scared of ghosts.
 * Idiot Hero: Luka. It's mostly due to a lack of worldly knowledge, however.
 * Hidden Depths:
 * I Love The Dead: Not by choice. Lose to any of the undead enemies in the game and you are (naturally) raped; lose to Frederika and
 * Although with the Zombie girls, Luka quickly begins to enjoy the fact there's many of them.
 * It Was with You All Along: Though this is revealed a lot earlier than one would expect.
 * as well.
 * Yet again in part 2 with
 * Karmic Death: Cassandra.
 * Kid Hero: Luka. There are also kid villains, the Four Bandits -- which are, of course, taken all but seriously.
 * Kleptomaniac Hero: Discussed. One of the benefits of bring a hero blessed by Illias is the ability to go into homes and take stuff.
 * Luka: Being a Hero has a lot of perks, you know. You get the respect of the people, cheap rates at inns, and you can even walk into people's houses and take stuff!
 * Alice: Walk into people's houses and take things...? Are you a thief or something?
 * Luka: There have been some who have abused that privilege. I don't think someone like that is a true hero, though.
 * Legal Jailbait: Many of the monsters are very young-looking, but are Older Than They Look. Most prominently Tamamo.
 * Level Drain: The Lencubus from the sequel does this if she manages to pin you down.
 * Light Is Not Good / Light Is Good: Depends on your opinion of Ilias.
 * The end of Part 2 answers that question. It's definitely not good
 * Loophole Abuse:
 * Hinted in Chrome's profile. She promised Luka she wouldn't experiment with corpses again, so she began researching ghosts instead.
 * Magitek: Used in Grangold Castle.
 * Mad Scientist: Chrome and Lily.
 * The Many Deaths of You: No rape scene is the same. Every single monster girl has different plans for you, with some dragging you off as a slave (or even a husband!) rather than raping you to death/eating you.
 * Also, you can get a game over within two choices, and about five lines. How? Ignore a Goddess.
 * Several monsters have two rape scenes, as well. A few have three.
 * It's possible to die three times before actually fighting a monster.
 * Mayfly-December Romance: Any relationship between a monster and human is this, unless the monster chooses to seal herself and become a human.
 * This is Played for Drama
 * Fridge Logic: But if all monsters are immortal or even only extremely long-lived, why is the harpy village depopulation issue so serious? It seemed like they needed children then and there or they would go extinct, which implies the death rate had exceeded the birth rate. Unless only the more powerful monsters like Alice and the Sphinx are immortal, in which case it makes more sense.
 * Mermaid Problem: Does not apply; every girl is fully functional, although their sexual organs are often somewhat different from those of a human. Not that anyone cares. The more human-looking monsters, like lamias, are pretty much humans with monster bits tacked on, so it makes sense for them to be compatible with humans.
 * Monster Lord: Referred to by this name specifically.
 * Mood Whiplash:
 * The Haunted House subquest swing back-and-forth between horror of Chrome's animated dead, and funny moments of Alice being scare of ghost.
 * The good ending of chapter 2 is Crowning Moment of Awesome
 * Ms. Fanservice: Alice, naturally. She has a stonking great rack, a very shapely form and wears very little in her human form. As well as a badass tattoo. She also regularly "milks" Luka.
 * Not that she wears much more in her monster girl form either, and of course a flower girl asks if she and Alice work in the same profession.
 * Multi Boobage: Less than you might expect, although the Tarantula girl does have 3 pairs of breasts on the underside of her spider body, as well as the pair on her human torso.
 * The Cerberus in part 2 has 3 pairs of breasts to go with her 3 heads. She also has even more nipples below them.
 * Taken to its logical extreme by the Beelzebubs, whose abdomens are covered in many pairs of giant breasts.
 * The chimera monsters infesting the ruins of Remelia.
 * Multiple Endings: The sequel.
 * The former option is something of a Nonstandard Game Over though, since you can't continue to the third game with it.
 * Noble Demon: Granberia. She seems to avoid lethal attacks against unworthy opponents and despises those who attack the weak.
 * Non-Indicative Name: The Four Heavenly Knights serve the Monster Lord, not Ilias like the name implies.
 * Also, Angel Halo is an Obviously Evil Impossibly Cool Weapon.
 * It's called Angel Halo because it's forged from 666 angels fused together.
 * And as an obvious ShoutOut to Mobile Suit Victory Gundam.
 * Also, the Suck Vore's defeat scene isn't actually a vore scene. No, seriously.
 * Non-Mammal Mammaries: Plants, spiders and books pretty much all have breasts.
 * Nonstandard Game Over: There's a few.
 * can kill you in three different ways before you even enter combat (one of them within a minute of starting the game).
 * Running away from makes Luka give up on his quest.
 * Not obtaining strands Luka without any way to get to the next area.
 * At the end of part 2, you're urged to by both Ilias . For once, the game will actually allow you to follow through with it.  Not really a bad ending for Luka, but since the entire rest of the plot is triggered by  the story's still definitely over.
 * Not Quite Back to Normal: The "Witch Hunt" sidequest involves a witch turning human girls into tentacled monsters. After the witch is defeated, Luka apparently "seals" the girls' transformations... except not really, and they still can sprout tentacles]] at will.
 * Something similar happens
 * Not So Different: Illias Kreuz's anti-monster terrorist Lazarus to Luka.
 * A better example would be Luka and . Both were outcasts in their own villages, and both were persecuted by others at a young age.
 * As lampshaded later, Luka and Alice.
 * Obviously Evil: Any sword skill that Alice teaches Luka since they are monster skills. Like many other things, this is lampshaded. The sword that Alice gives Luka early on takes this trope Up To Eleven since it is made out of 666 melted angels.
 * Though given who the angels work for it might not be so evil.
 * Oddly-Shaped Sword: The Angel Halo is all but.
 * Ominous Save Prompt: In the translation you can only save at specific places, usually before battles. This is due to a technical difficulty involving the game engine refusing to play nice with English text. Most ways of bypassing this problem can result in save corruption, so the translator put these in mostly for convenience's sake. The fact that they double as a battle warning is just a pleasant side-effect.
 * Omniscient Morality License: Ilias tries to invoke this when, but Luka promptly calls her out for it.
 * Out of the Inferno: The Chimera Dryad after being hit with Alice's Omega Fire spell. Oh Crap ensues.
 * Out with a Bang: Even the monsters that only want to eat Luka have sex with him before doing so (Or even while doing so).
 * Palette Swap: The uncorrupted Elf you meet in Sylph's forest uses the same model as the Dark Elf Fencer you met earlier in the game, although they changed a few details like the clothes, hairsyle and weapon, as well as the obvious skin tone shift. Even the hentai CG is the exact same pose.
 * More prominent in the sequel, where single-color translucent silhouettes of monster girls are presented in various parts.
 * Poor Communication Kills:
 * One of the reasons for the decline in human-monster relations in recent times.
 * The reason for the boss fight with the Kraken, thanks to the fact that she is The Ditz.
 * Despite appearing near the very end of the first game, Gnome can be seen hitting Sylph twice before that game's end. Her profile notes that she just doesn't know how to express her feelings (and Sylph still considers her as her best friend).
 * To be fair, the other spirits pick on her too.
 * Porn with Plot: It's not hard to find fans that would play this game without any sex scenes. A search for people who would prefer it like that is currently underway.
 * Press X to Die: Surprisingly often, though occasionally, Stupidity Is The Only Option is played straight instead. It all depends whether or not the morally right choice is the only logical choice or an illogical one.
 * There also is the "suicide for fun" variety in that you can request a monster to use an attack on you until you are defeated. This however is reserved for replaying the game or choosing a fight from the encyclopedia and sometimes invokes a sexy or snarky comment from the monster at hand as well.
 * Public Domain Soundtrack: Several pieces of music in the game are famous pieces of classical music:
 * Amira the Unfortunate Lamia's theme is Profokiev's "Montagues and Capulets"/"Dance of the Knights" from his ballet of Romeo and Juliet.
 * The theme of San Ilia Castle is Chopin's "Nocturne In E-Flat Major, Op.9 No.2".
 * The Sabasa Castle theme is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_of_Hope_and_Glory Elgar's "Land of Hope and Glory" from his Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1.
 * Puzzle Boss: Several encounters boil down to this, and a majority of fights require you to perform certain actions (especially once you have Sylph and Gnome's abilities, which can block instant-death attacks and let you escape from binds more quickly respectively). Granberia is the most common opponent to be fought like this.
 * Rape Is Ok When It Is Female On Male: You wouldn't be playing it otherwise. In the first chapter alone, Alice forces herself on Luka three times (each increasingly intimate), although whether Luka actually has a problem with it remains to be seen.
 * There is only one scene in the entire game where a monster girl tries to rape a woman.
 * Really Seven Hundred Years Old: Several of the more powerful monsters are this, most notably Tamamo. Alice and Granberia, however, are subversions. Everyone (including Luka) thinks they have to be a couple centuries old, at least, but in the second game they're revealed to be only twenty-two and twenty-five respectively.
 * Roaring Rampage Of Revenge: In the second game, the plant and insect monsters of Plansect Forest are in the middle of a civil war. After talking to the plant monsters, Luka carves his way to the leader of the insects and seals her. [The plants then start killing the defeated insects, claiming it is their right as victors. Luka goes ballistic, and seals everyone.
 * It happens again in chapter 3 when Luka
 * Save The Princess: Even Luka calls it a cliche.
 * Schmuck Bait: The Imp. It's so weak (especially compared to Luka) that she actually offers sexual favors to Luka as a bribe to not hurt her. However, if you allow her to actually have sex with Luka, she catches him in an inescapable attack and defeats him, mocking him for being so stupid as to lose to someone as weak as her.
 * Screen Shake: Strong attacks give the screen a good dosing of this, usually accompanied by a loud crash.
 * Sdrawkcab Name: Amira the Lamia. The kana used for lamia in Japanese is (ramia). Reverse the order and you get (amira).
 * Sealed Badass In A Can:
 * Sequel Difficulty Spike: Justified in that Part 1 can be linked to (and played through) in Part 2 as a double campaign, and once Part 3 is released, you will be able to link all three parts together into one huge storyline.
 * Single Gender Race: All monster girls, obviously.
 * Slap Slap Kiss: For all the abuse Luka has to suffer from Alice, she is actually rather fond of him, and he warms up to her as well.
 * Something Completely Different: Just to really mess with the player's mind, the one and only human-on-human h-scene is by far the most jarring in the whole game. It's not just the contrast with the monster girl sex previously... it's also the fact that the girl isn't into guys in the first place.
 * Debatable. fell in love with Granberia because she saved her and because she admires her strength. Luka's comments give the impression that she hasn't even considered the fact that they're both girls. Or possibly she's just bi.
 * Sorting Algorithm Of Evil: It's pretty convenient for Luka that that the first two elementals, Sylph and Gnome, are lacking at combat experience. Sylph, the first one, even has no offensive ability.
 * Luka promptly lampshades it, when it's subverted with one of the Heavenly Knights appearing in the first city he visits.
 * The Sphinx: Who, of course, uses The Riddle of the Sphinx. Even Luka Lampshades how everyone knows the answer to that riddle.
 * Story-Breaker Power: If Luka fought asleep all the time he would never lose. Is actually invoked by Alice
 * By the end of the sequel, Luka is already many times more powerful than his sleeping self in the first game ever was, dwarfing even Alice, meaning that no monster on the face of the planet could possibly defeat him.
 * Explained in chapter 2:
 * Super-Deformed:
 * The elementals have this as one of their poses.
 * The Four Bandits as well.
 * Even Alice, but only when she's really, really scared.
 * Tamamo has one near the end.
 * Super-Powered Evil Side:
 * Supervillain Lair: Luka's surprised the monster Lord's castle does look pretty normal. Alice then asks why she would choose to live in an unpleasant looking place.
 * Swallowed Whole: There are so many vore scenes that the game gives you the option to turn them off. Special mention goes to the Suck Vore though.
 * Sword Of Plot Advancement: Parodied with the Goddess Sword. Alice politely shows how useless it is to Luka by shattering it, so Luka doesn't have to go through the trouble of getting the blessing of the three sages. Played straight, however, with the Angel Halo Blade.
 * Sword Over Head: When he finally confronts Lazarus near the end of Chapter Two and learns the truth about his father an enraged Luka grabs his iron sword and raises it in preparation to kill him via Sword Plant.
 * Taking You with Me: When she realizes she's losing her battle with Luka,
 * Tenchi Solution: How the Harpy Village quest is resolved.
 * Testosterone Poisoning: The King of Sabasa. He looks like a blonde, bearded Bang Shishigami!
 * The Theme Park Version: In-universe example. As story progress, Luka realize how much legend of hero Heinrich was distorted. For example,
 * Took A Level In Badass: The Crab Girl comes back in chapter two for a rematch, mentioning that she's been training ever since her previous sealing so as to defeat Luka.
 * Tsundere:
 * Alice. She starts to slide into Defrosting Ice Queen territory fairly quickly though, and she's more of a Jerkass than just plain cruel.
 * Granberia becomes this in chapter two. Lose to her, and she'll start blushing before she rapes him. In fact, the whole H-scene feels like one big deredere moment for Granberia, especially the way it ends.
 * Luka toward Alice as well.
 * The Unchosen One: Luka fails to become an official hero within minutes of the game. It doesn't stop him from trying to slay the Monster Lord and achieve his dream of trying to bring peace between monsters and humans.
 * Made even more interesting in that Ilias always reminds Luka that he IS The Chosen One, even though her absence was the very reason he didn't become an official hero.
 * Later explained that Ilias purposefully left him unbaptized to see if an unbaptized Hero could kill the Monster Lord without being tempted by the monsters.
 * There Is No Kill Like Overkill: Using the Quadruple Giga against the Imp or Tamamo. One is the weakest enemy in both parts and will stand still absolutely terrified of the building power of the skill. The other will be so weakened that she won't be able to put up any defense and a normal attack will be enough to defeat her.
 * To elaborate, the imp will be at first confused of you using so much magic against her, then she will be frightened the moment she understands what are you about to do, and in the final moments, she will try to run away from you.
 * "Even the imp's scream is sealed"
 * Useless Useful Spell: Undine and Salamander. Completely useless when you get them and even after their first upgrades they still have huge downsides.
 * Once you get their second upgrades, however, they become Game Breakers- or they would be if you weren't by that stage fighting opponents powerful enough to NEED it!
 * Video Game Cruelty Potential: Imp, meet Quadruple Giga. You even get an achievement for it.
 * You can also use it on Tamamo and Alice while they are down.
 * Wham! Episode: The end of second chapter,
 * What Happened To The Mouse: Sara is last seen following Granberia to the Monster Lord's castle. She is not mentioned again.
 * What The Hell Player: Illias's general reaction as you come to see her more and more often.
 * Hilariously deep into Chapter Two this is averted when you lose to Beelzebub. She doesn't chastise you as she can only stand there in Stunned Silence before sighing heavily and telling you what you need to know.
 * Why Did It Have To Be Ghosts?: Alice has a crippling fear of ghosts.
 * Woobie Destroyer Of Worlds: Lazarus, unexpectedly, once you learn his backstory.
 * You Dont Want To Die A Virgin Do You: Near the end of the second chapter, Alice finally decides that since Luka's about to walk into the most dangerous place on the planet, she might as well do away with his Technical Virgin status. Not that she really gives him any choice.
 * You Have Researched Breathing: Alice teaches Luka how to meditate to help Luka focus his mind in battle. She mentions how Fallen Angel Erigora had the ability to heal his wounds with meditation, but Lampshades how obviously of a lie it is. To her amazement and fear, meditation actually does heal Luka's wounds.
 * Luka toward Alice as well.
 * The Unchosen One: Luka fails to become an official hero within minutes of the game. It doesn't stop him from trying to slay the Monster Lord and achieve his dream of trying to bring peace between monsters and humans.
 * Made even more interesting in that Ilias always reminds Luka that he IS The Chosen One, even though her absence was the very reason he didn't become an official hero.
