Since the mysterious portals over Kong Island have appeared, the number of visitors arriving to its shores has began to rise, as more and more tourists seek to stay and bask in its tropical, tranquil paradise. Although Kong Island's economy has benefited greatly from the surge in tourism, something unsettling has risen to overshadow its prosperity.
Residents have began to disappear all over the island. The once prominent beaches, fuelled by endless parties, are now partially littered with missing Kong posters. 150 Kongs have disappeared without a trace... Alarmed, the inhabitants of Kong Island have Kongregated in the town square to try to get to the bottom of the disappearances.
The Pandjians, which were the first visitors to emerge on Kong Island, bringing with them their own cultural stories and myths, believe that the disappearances are linked to the portals, expressing that the creature they tracked to Kong Island is the catalyst responsible for creating the portals in the first place, something they call the "Plexus event".
They tried to explain this when they first arrived, seeking help to track and defeat what they call the Yùtù, for its atrocities on Isle of Pandjia, but the Kongs, being naturally laid back, initially took their words with a pinch of salt and continued about their day with little worries, thinking that their words were nothing more than fables. Now feeling guilty about their fellow Kongs' disappearances and hearing that the world of Pandjia has been thrown into turmoil, the Kongs, growing concerned for the future of their own world, agree to assist the Panda Society.
After further discussions, the Kongs learn that their ancient ancestors were once referred to as the "good Oni" by the Pandjians, meaning that at some stage in their past, their civilizations had once crossed paths somehow. Perplexed by this notion, the Kongs turn to the Wise Ones for answers, but the Wise Ones have no prior knowledge of other civilizations... Confused and bewildered, they come to the realization that perhaps there is one on Kong Island that may know.
The one they call the Odd Kong "Witch Doctor", due to his physically abnormal size, the fact that he covers his face with a wooden mask and is missing his right arm. He is thought to be the oldest of all Kongs, but everyone thought him senile, as he spent much of his time rambling about otherworldly creatures and warnings of end times. Over the years, he has become more and more elusive and his current whereabouts are unknown.
Feeling helpless, the Wise Ones can only suggest consulting the Ancient Sand Scripts, said to be the oldest known records of Kong history, which are located inside the Temple of N'Gai, to see is there any mention of other civilizations... However, the exact location of the temple has unfortunately been lost to time.
The Wise Ones explain that those who claim to have once found it and returned to its exact location, swear that it had vanished, as if it was swallowed up by the forest itself. They say Kongs who have the right amount of Exp not only have the ability to locate it, but also translate its ideograms.
Hearing this and realizing that time is of the essence, the Kongs and their allies make their way to the forbidden forest to find the long-forgotten temple. While on their way, the ground begins to shake, increasing in intensity as the intervals between the appearance of new portals over Kong Island begin to shorten. What civilizations lie just beyond their veil... and what their intentions are is yet to be revealed...

Side Quest #1: The Origin Of Species
Sat, Sep 14th 2024 11:11
Kong Island, once a tranquil tourist paradise, faces a mysterious crisis as 150 residents vanish following the appearance of strange portals. Initially dismissive of warnings from the Pandjians about a creature called Yùtù, the Kongs now seek answers. The Pandjians believe these disappearances are linked to the "Plexus event" and the portals. The Kongs, desperate for help, are looking for the ODD KONG and consult ancient scripts at the lost temple of N'Gai.
As they search the forbidden forest for the temple, the ground shakes, and the frequency of portal appearances increases, hinting at looming dangers from unknown civilizations beyond the portals.
