Story
You are suddenly awoken by a thorough chill that pulses through your body. Half-awake, you get out of bed and begin getting dressed. You finish, but then notice something strange: the sun isn't up, yet there is an eerie light filling your room.
You explore the rest of your house and find that you are alone. No family. You step outside. Shadowy mists are flowing everywhere, and disgruntling whispers can be heard from... somewhere. A pang of fear pierces your chest when you look around and see nothing. All that is visible in any direction more than 50 feet outside of your house is a roiling blackness.

Gameplay
Up to 7 players will be accepted. Players will engage it battles with enemies that I determine. Players will request their actions to me during a battle, and I will do appropriate calculations. Players start at level 1, and will receive experience (XP) to level up for doing damage to enemies, defeating an enemy, and winning a battle (though there may be more).
Outside of battle, I will provide some guidance, but overall the players will request what to do. There are innumerable actions players can choose. When one player suggests an action, I will either post it for players to agree with or shoot down, and if a player consensus has already been reached, I will tell what happens as a result of the players' actions. If the players wish to separate and explore separately, that is fine, they need only request it. However, the hordes of enemies players encounter will NOT be weakened for a solo player.
Any other information needed? Just ask!

You run until you feel you can do so no more, then stop, panting. Just as you are about to resume fleeing, a giant, shadowy portal opens beneath you, and you fall in.
Full-body aches awaken you. You find yourself in an abandoned forest. The forest is bleak and desolated; the trees have no leaves, no bushes grow, no wildlife frolics about, and the sky is a monotonous black.
You hear the crunch of feet on broken twigs behind you, but when you turn, nothing is there...

[Blue Wings, those numbers are the damage that that element will do when used. They are different because different elemental effects (burn, freeze, etc.) are better than others. The exception is Light, which has a percent. This is the percent of total health that is healed when this skill is used.]

[Blue Wings, since your attacks are more powerful than other players' and are not affected by an enemy's Defense stat, you can only attack/act twice each turn. Other players can act four times because their attacks (1) tend to do less damage and (2) cannot create status defects.]

As you walk to one of the vacant rooms, Lusim calls to you, "Be careful, James Kratos. Though this is our haven, we are not invincible here..."
You enter you room. It is small, 20ft by 20ft, and has a bed, a small wooden table, and clean clothes (should you decide to change). Also, there is a small window overlooking the North side of the castle. From here, you can see the path that leads to the strange portal... Maybe you should ask Lusim about it the next time you see him... He said that portals open sporadically, but this one's been in the same spot for a suspiciously long period of time...

I mutter to myself "At least now I can see trees.", and, tired from running - both physically and psychologically, I keep looking at the bush and shout "Reveal yourself! If you are a... shadow with self respect, that is!".

After you sleep for a few hours, you are awoken suddenly in a cold sweat. Outside, you hear voices...
"...seems different. He may be the one."
Another voice answers, "We will deal with any issues when the time comes. For now, let him struggle..."
The voices fade, and you are left to ponder their meaning...

More rustling occurs somewhere behind dead stumps, and then two shadowy swordsmen walk out. Will you engage, communicate, or flee?

You continue searching, though find nothing of use... It is almost as if someone got there before you and took everything helpful. Winds again begin to whip outside and thunder starts to crackle.

After some time exploring, you hear a moan from outside... You rush to its source, and find nothing. Your hear a near-silent whoosh of movement behind you. As you turn, a great force smacks you to the ground, and you lose consciousness.
When you wake, the crash of waves can be heard in the distance. You slowly get up and find that you are on a beach. Except... this beach is not of the planet Earth... The water is a toxic purple and the sand a menacing obsidian... Where were you sent? What will you do?
