The Beginning
You grew up in the small village of Chiakor, a remote village with rich traditions, buried deep in the wilds.
Every year for as long as you can remember, your village has chosen a champion to send to the cursed Demon Realm.

Legend has it that in years Chiakor has failed to produce a champion, chaos has reigned over the countryside. Children disappear, crops wilt, and disease spreads like wildfire. This year, you have been selected to be the champion.

Character Creation
What is your name, Champion?
Male or Female?
If your are male, are you lean, average, or thick?
If female, are you slender, average, or curvy?
What is your skin color; light, olive, dark, or ebony?
What color is your hair, and how long?

Stats for the game include:
Strength - Increases your damage and enables the Strong Back perks if high enough.
Toughness - Increases your health points and enables the Tank and Regeneration perks if high enough.
Speed - Increases you chances to evade attacks, certain encounters and to run from a fight. Also enables the Evasion and Runner perks if high enough.
Intelligence - Increase the chance to withstand certain encounters. Spells are also easier to learn and cast.
Corruption - Shows how corrupt you've become since entering the Demon Realm. If high enough, you won't be known as the nice guy anymore. Nice thoughts and actions will be harder to perform if corruption becomes too high. Anger rises a lot faster when more corrupt.
Fatigue - Determines whether or not skills and spells can be used. Waiting, resting, and sleeping reduce fatigue.
Hit points - Your life. If it reaches 0, your enemy will find a way to corrupt your mind or body in some way, adding to your corruption.

Every person is born with a gift. What's yours?
Strength - Are you stronger than normal? +5 to strength
Toughness - Are you unusually tough? +5 to toughness
Speed - Are you very quick? +5 to speed
Smarts - Are you a quick learner? +5 to intelligence
Endurance - Are you energetic? Recover from fatigue 50% faster

Before you became a champion, you had other plans for your life. What were you doing before?
Alchemy - You spent some time as an alchemist's assistant, and alchemical items always seem to be more reactive in your hands. You are much more successful at making concoctions than the normal person, and can make others much more potent.
Fighting - You spent much of your time fighting other children, and you had plans to find work as a guard when you grew up. You do 10% more damage with physical attacks.
Healing - You often spent your free time with the village healer, learning how to tend to wounds. Healing items and effects are 20% more effective.
Religion - You spent a lot of time at the village temple, and learned how to meditate. Meditating will reduce corruption.
Schooling - You spent much of your time in school, and even begged the richest man in town, Mr. Savin, to let you read some of his books. You are much better at focusing, and spellcasting uses 20% less fatigue.
Slacking - You spent a lot of time slacking, avoiding work, and otherwise making a nuisance of yourself. Your efforts at slacking have made you quite adept at resting, and fatigue decreases 20% faster.
Smithing - You managed to get an apprenticeship with the local blacksmith. Because of your time spent at the blacksmith's side, you've learned how to fit armor for maximum protection. Increases armor effectiveness by roughly 10%.

Feel free to ask questions, and have fun if you decide to try! Also, this game is story driven, and every person will have a similar story line, so if you don't want anything spoiled, don't look at others posts. This could also be good for people not playing and reading what happens to see what differences the players actions are and other things.

I'm just kind of into seeing how other people play differently. Anyways, gl.

I head back to my camp. Since one of my goals is to cast out the demons so that they won't hurt my world, I train hard for the remainder of the night. I take breaks to eat and drink from the water from the lake.


Its 6 o' clock in the morning, your no where close to night time. Did you mean you want to train for the entire day?

"Uh... Hello? Can you understand me?" I ask the slime. If it tries to attack me I throw another olive at it.


It doesn't respond in any way, other than trying to keep the form of a sloppy face.

~[Centaur] Nathrach (Acquaintance)
~[Demon] Aerom (Hostile)

If you don't add 5 points to your stats, I'll do them for you the next time.

I stand behind the centaurs like they told me, my sword raised level to my chest in case the demon attacks. If he does come for me, I only swing or stab when I'm certain to hit him or if the centaurs tell me to hit him.


The demon notices you raise your sword, and chuckles lightly. But suddenly, without hesitation he expertly unfolds his wings and flies directly towards the group of Centaur. Surprisingly, the demon grabs hold of one of the Centaur and flies him away, but still in view for you three to witness what happens next.

The demon ascends incredibly fast, even with an extremely heavy Centaur in his grasp. You all know exactly where this is going. The demon releases the Centaur, the one that Balgair couldn't finish saying. The defensless Centaur flops and wriggles in the air, only to meet the unforgiving red ground nearly forty feet away from your group.

The demon takes a few seconds to land again, this time now creating a powerful entry and kicking up walls of dust.

"You know you can't defend yourselves." the demon taunts. "Save yourselves and allow me to take him."

You didn't know Nathrach had any bravery or courage in him - or maybe its just stupidity, but he charges Aerom anyways. With his fists clenched hard, he aims for the demon's head. With very little effort, the demon only lowers his head the instant the Centaur comes into contact. Balgair begins to rush at Aerom next, while Nathrach's fist was pierced by Aerom's horns!

Following the Centaurs lead, and knowing that this would be your only chance to wound the demon, you charge too.

Aerom notices the sudden charges Balgair and yourself are making, and swats Nathrach away after unsticking his horns from the Centaur's fist. With an amazing amount of superior strength, the demon's slap sent Nathrach sliding across the rocky surface of the ground! Turning to see if Nathrach is still okay, you find that he's slid right off the side of the mountain!

Balgair, likely furious now, charges even faster, and Aerom does the same towards the Centaur. Not showing a single sign of fear, Balgair attacks Aerom, but doesn't seem to affect him at all. Instead, the demon attacks Balgair's jaw with its shoulder, causing the Centaur to fall down. After the crippling blow, the Centaur seems to be out cold.

Aerom stops in his tracks, and looks at you again, with a grin.

You heft your sword, preparing to defend yourself. But with the amount of speed that this demon has, you're no where near fast enough to counter anything he throws.

He swiftly spreads his wings again, and becomes straight as a board as he flies directly towards you with unbelievable speed. Before you could swing, his head strikes your chest, paralyzing your diaphragm and knocking the air straight out of you.

You drop backwards and slide across the bumpy terrain fifteen feet, while Aerom slowly approaches, folding his wings back behind him again.

The sword is still in your grip, but is loosely being held. Trying your hardest to catch your breath again, you spasm on the ground until you finally get another breath of fresh air.

The demon steps closer and closer, and when he finally reaches your damaged body, he steps on your wrist, forcing you to drop your grip from the sword and reel your arm in.

"Typical Champion. I'm not going to give you a lecture about how you all never win, even though its so tempting." he says, leaning down and crouching by your side. "It's almost pitiful. You Champions all share the same fate." he chuckles. "You're not even a Champion. You know that, right?"

He notices the look you give him, and recognizes it all too well. "Yes. It's true. None of you are 'Champions'." he laughs, grabbing your sword by the blade and then standing up.

"Hmm... what a strange blade. Demon's don't get slain like this by stupid little humans!" he bellows, almost laughing again after looking at the engraving on the handle.

"Well, human. I guess you had a good run, right? Or have you only been here for a couple of days?" he laughs again, shifting his hands along the blade.

"It's time to end you though, unfortunately for you."

He releases one hand from the blade, and grips the handle firmly, then releases the other hand from the blade. "Got anything to sa -"

"GAAAHHH!" he screams, dropping the sword immediately. The handle on the sword begins smoking, and so is the demon's hand!

"What kind of sword... aaahh!" he yells louder, holding his burning hand.

He continues rubbing his hand, but notices that you're crawling to the sword to retrieve it. He tries in vain to kick the sword away from your reach, but fails after you lift it up from the ground. You grip the handle firmly, and surprisingly you feel very little heat if no heat at all.

With the demon being this vulnerable, you might be able to strike him down. However, a little information could be useful.

"No, I don't. I only stay here, in the ruins. But if you do end up finding some places that do sell gear, make sure you get the best of the best. Demons are the deadliest things around, and you don't want to fight them with a flimsy sword or worn armor."

I chuck a couple of olives at the slime to see its reaction. If nothing happens or its reaction to olives being thrown at it is not hazardous to my health, I use my bamboo to splash some water from the lake onto the slime.

*I did in my previous post. My intelligence went from 15 to 20.*

I charge the demon and try to stab and slash it until it dies. If I fail, then I beg for my life to be spared. If I succeed, then I slice the horns off and put them in my coin pouches. I then go to Balgair to see if he has a pulse. If he does, then I go to Lumi's house and buy the best healing potion I can afford. I then go back to Balgair and check that he still has pulse, then pour it into his mouth. When he awakes, I ask him if Nathrach could still be alive after sliding off the mountain.

Not seeing anything happen after throwing yet another olive, you decide to splash water onto it, which also doesn't seem to phase it. The slime acts like a water-repellent almost.

Using his temporary vulnerability to your advantage, you rise to your feet as quickly as you can. Charging at the demon, you heft the sword above your head, ready to strike him down.

Noticing your advancement, he swings his arm. It catches your neck, and your upper body descends to the ground quickly while your lower body rises up, until gravity pulls your entire body back down.

He approaches you now, still holding his hand which is still burning. Preparing to beg, you slowly lift your head and before opening your mouth to speak, the demon stops in his tracks and yells again.

"What did you do to that sword?!" he panics. "It's getting worse!"

Before anything else can be said or done, he spreads his wings and takes off from the ground leaving you to choke on the dust that his sudden ascent kicked up. It takes no time for him to rush out of there and to the direction of the lake. You assume he could possibly be trying to dump his hand in to stop the burning.

Everything becomes silent now... except for a very faint sound of shuffling behind you. After looking, you see nothing. You get up, picking up the sword on your way there while rubbing your neck with your other hand.

You get closer to the sound of something... struggling?

You reach the edge of the cliff, to finally realize that Nathrach has been hanging on to the ledge the entire time.

Without a word, you instinctively reach for his hand, but he refuses.

"There's no - ah!" he says, struggling to keep his grip. "Get Balgair!"

With no other option, you return to Balgair to check the pulse. Its slow, but its there.

Rethink your actions or continue?

Yeah. I train for the day.


You train for the entire day, feeling utterly drained by the end of it. You've never exercised this hard, even in your life back in Chiakor. The endorphins coursing through your body from the extensive exercise is making you feel absolutely amazing.

Having eaten only the Peppers since that's the only thing you know you can trust, you've consumed the only two left. You've ended up drinking the lake water from the basket you've made, and made several trips to the lake to drink from it as well.

Hitting the sack early from being so exhausted, you wake up at six, like every other morning. The workout 'high' has left, but you still feel good.

"Alright, I'll be off then. See ya later!" I look around and pick the tallest mountain I can see and start walking towards it.


You can't see any mountains from the town ruins, but you do however remember seeing them very far out in the distance from the camp.

Although you want to travel to the mountain, its getting late, and it seems the travel might take quite a bit of time.

Different action, or go?

I walk back to camp instead of going off or teleporting. I figure I can sleep off this magic missile wound anyways. Better start off fresh in the morning.

If you want more info about the hunger and thirst system, let me know. I can get into the technical stuff if you want, but hunger and thirst rises every single minute, and there is math behind it.

I walk back to camp instead of going off or teleporting. I figure I can sleep off this magic missile wound anyways. Better start off fresh in the morning.


The walk takes forty three minutes, but it doesn't matter since you make it back to camp before the sun completely descends.

The next day arrives, and you wake up at 6:00, like always for some reason.

You don't feel any soreness or pain in your chest anymore.

I continue to do the actions that I already said.


Quickly teleporting to Lumi's hut, you hurry for her to find the best potion she's got that you can afford with one hundred and three gems. She says that the best healing potion would cost much more, but she suggests that you hold onto your money, and when he gets better, he can pay her himself.

Agreeing to her deal, you take a pre-made potion, and vanish to the mountains.

Appearing right by Balgair's side, you kneel and tilt the potion to his lips, allowing it to slowly drain from the bottle.

Not knowing how much you actually needed, you pour all of it into his mouth. Even though he was unconscious, he managed not to drown from the liquid. In fact, it seems as if it soaked right into his tongue and gums.

About five minutes later, he slowly awakens. Telling you he feels a little queezy, you warn him about Nathrach, and his situation. Shaking his head to snap out of his dizziness, he gets up on all four hooves, and rushes over to Nathrach. Following him, you try to help as much as you can, even though the Centaur has to be at least three hundred pounds of pure muscle.

With quite the amount of effort, Balgair and yourself manage to pull Nathrach up safely.

The trio of you sit there for a while, trying to recuperate.

You end up telling Balgair about Lumi's potion, and his debt to her for the saving.

He thanks you for bringing the potion to him, and helping to aid Nathrach. Afterwards, they eave the mountain to try to find the body of the other Centaur, probably to mourn him and give a proper burial.

I cautiously approach the slime, throwing another olive at it. If nothing harmful happens during my approach, I poke it a few times with my stick when I get near enough.


After throwing yet another olive, its reaction doesn't differ from the first. It's form changes to allow the olive to stay inside of it, but just keeps it suspended inside.

Feeling more curious than you probably should, you approach and poke the slime once, then a couple more times. It doesn't make any sudden moves, then begins inching its way back to the lake instead.

I take the first part of the day off, resting and lounging about.


You rest until 12:00.

I then teleport back to Whitney's farm. I talk to Whitney and ask if they have a metal pot or something of the sort that I can boil water in?


After finding Whitney and asking her the question, she hesitates to answer. "Umm, I'm not too sure. Lemme check!" she says, skipping to the inside of her quaint little home.

While waiting on Whitney, you can see a Centaur in the distance. It appears to be holding a bow, and has a few arrows in side of a quiver strapped to his back. He doesn't seem to be doing anything in particular.

Later, Whitney comes back out of the house, offering you a nicely sized pot to boil the water in which also comes with a lid with a handle on the top. The pot looks to be one and a half feet deep, which would hold plenty of water.

Speaking of water, you're feeling pretty parched, and you could use something to eat as well. Soon after your mind has been wandering, she speaks again.

"Will this work?" she asks.

I tell Whitney and thank her for it. I pick some more peppers while I'm their, and eat one or two. I head over to the lake and fill the pot with as much water as I can. Once I get back to camp I start to boil it. And once it's boiled, drink drink drink.

You pick five, and eat two straight from the patch.

I head over to the lake and fill the pot with as much water as I can. Once I get back to camp I start to boil it. And once it's boiled, drink drink drink.


You try your best to find something to light the fire, but you can't find anything other than a few sticks. You also realize that you'd need a make-shift system that could suspend the heavy pot of water in the air directly over the fire in order for it to boil properly without damaging the pot itself. It could do without a suspension system, but the pots durability wouldn't last as long.

I follow the slime, watching what happens to the olive while keeping an eye out for trouble.


The slime slowly but surely makes its way to the lake shore. The olives are remaining inside the slime's form, staying perfectly suspended.

It finally reaches the lake's shore, constantly inching forward into the water. The thick lake water seems to move around the slime, as if its some type of oil. The slime eventually becomes totally submerged in the lake, disappearing from sight.
