The city gates opened and its doors unfolded a bustling activity before you. Flocks of people wander about and around, and the echoing voices merely spread round. As you walk further into the city, you stumble upon a local tavern and your instincts tell you to enter it for the time being. Yet, your wanderlust also tells you to brave the city's streets. <div id="options"> ⟶ [[Walk around the city]] ⟶ [[Go to Tavern]] </div> <<audio "mainmenu" fadeout>> <<cacheaudio "background" "music/background.mp3">> <<audio "background" play>>

You've opened the tavern's doors and they creak closed. Inside, the air shifts to that of warmth with blended smells of beer and other fine beverages. A crowd of people scatter around the place and with it, their voices ring around the tavern. This complements the sound of drinks that attaches itself to the echoing ambience. As you walk up to the bar you notice someone stealing a coin purse from a hand quick like a wind. However, your eyes catch it and see that the hand belongs to a thief who is sitting down with a group that are likely thieves themselves. You can tell that they're planning something and it somewhat intrigues you. <div id="options"> ⟶ [[Listen to them]] ⟶ [[Don't listen]] </div>

You’ve wandered around and immersed yourself to everything around you. There are still people walking by but as time went on, they slowly vanish from the streets as the sun rests down into the horizon. The city is turning into a void but the surrounding torches filled the empty dark, guiding your way. As the lights guide you, you hear a scream and suddenly someone ran past you and another one too, although the latter has a knife gripped on his hand. Thoughts were circling around in your head whether to save that person who is running from a potential murderer, or to leave things be as you don’t want to tangle yourself in such matters that don’t concern you. <div id="options"> ⟶ [[Help]] ⟶ [[Don't bother to help]] </div>

As you listen closely you hear the following from these pesky thieves: "So when should we rob that tomb?" one thief asks "Perhaps tomorrow night, but keep your voice down somebody might hear us" "Alright tomorrow night" he whispers "but before we go, how much do we know about the tomb?" "Legend has it that its the final resting place of a legendary king named Rexfur with this city as his capital" "This place? Really? I've never would've imagined" "It was, 200 years ago, hard to believe it myself and to think that this city was once worthy to be considered a capital. It is said that he wore a mask imbued with magic and this mask is buried within his tomb" "Hmmm, there are rumours that he was also a thief right?" "A thief? How can a king be a thief?" "Such legends are hard to believe. But I suppose there's a bit of truth to that" "Enough talk, I sense someone is watching us" "What?!" They suddenly notice you, and you quickly turn your head nervously pretending that there's nothing to be seen. Soon after, a hand lands on your shoulder and the thief asks: "I know you've heard us so don't play dumb" An instant chill of regret fills you, and you wish that you didn't listen earlier. However, the thief has more to say: "I can't afford someone knowing our plans so I'll give you two options. Either you join with us or be silenced tomorrow. Your choice" <div id="options"> ⟶ [[Join them]] ⟶ [[Don't join them]] </div>

You've ignored the thieves that are chattering nearby and instead, go up to the bar and sit down. You order a mug of beer and chug it down, filling yourself with freshness and warmth, although its a bit sour as usual. As the mug is emptied, a man beside you has something to say: "You seem to be new around here, how about a drinking contest?" Although you are quite hesitant, he interrupts. "You know I've fallen into some hard times and I want someone to drink with me to raise my spirits. I'll pay for the drinks of course but hey, free drinks. So what do you say?" <div id="options"> ⟶ [[Don't drink with him]] ⟶ [[Get drunk]] </div>

It is midnight. The skies are dark and barely any stars illuminate the sky. You're in a graveyard and within that graveyard is a tomb that stands out from the stones that surround it. The ghastly wind gives an aura of a shared voice that are buried here and although it doesn't speak directly, your soul knows that you shouldn't be here but regardless you have to move forward or else death awaits you here. The thieves give you a sword to protect yourself and you follow the shadows like them. As you enter the tomb there is a door that goes underground and although locked tight, the thieves open it with ease. As you walk into the tomb, the dead wake from their slumber and one of them is about to slash his sword. What's your next move? <div id="options"> ⟶ [[Attack]] ⟶ [[Block]] </div>

You've been slashed clean by the undead that you faced. Start the game again. ↻ <<link [[Retry|Main Menu]]>><<audio "mainmenu" play>><</link>><<cacheaudio "mainmenu" "music/mainmenu.mp3">> <<audio "background" fadeout>>

A group of undead are slain. As you go deeper into the tomb you and the thieves stumble upon a passage which then reveals another secret passage that has revealed itself from the collapsing stones. The thieves then quietly discuss their options: "So, which way?" "Hmm, there are 6 of us so lets choose and split up" Half of them chose to either to go to the secret passage or to the main one. The thieves urge you to choose... <div id="options"> ⟶ [[Go to secret passage]] ⟶ [[Go to main passage]] </div>

As you enter the secret passage, a trap is triggered. The floors are falling revealing the spikes underneath. You run, run, run, running from the death that will cling to you as you fall. Heavy breathing intensifies and you've made it into the end of the passage as the sole survivor. Going back now is impossible as the floor is gone and in its place are spikes that protrude upwards begging for a victim. The only way out is the lever puzzle before you and near it is an inscription. It reads: the year that trumps all. There are four levers to activate. Which lever to activate first? <div id="options"> ⟶ [[0]] ⟶ [[2]] ⟶ [[6]] ⟶ [[1]] </div>

You activated the wrong lever and triggered a trap; becoming a victim of spikes as the floor collapsed. You dead. ↻ <<link [[Retry|Main Menu]]>><<audio "mainmenu" play>><</link>><<cacheaudio "mainmenu" "music/mainmenu.mp3">> <<audio "background" fadeout>>

As you activated the right lever, you hear the clings and clangs of puzzle machinery. You could see how the puzzle is subtley revealing a door which means there are three levers left to activate. The inscription reads: the year that trumps all Which lever to activate next? <div id="options"> ⟶ [[6->six]] ⟶ [[1->one]] ⟶ [[0->zero]] </div>

Your journey ends shortly and you went on with normal life. You became a nobody. The end. ⟵ <<link [[Exit to Main Menu|Main Menu]]>><<audio "mainmenu" play>><</link>><<cacheaudio "mainmenu" "music/mainmenu.mp3">>

It is morning and your eyes blur as you open them. You're lying on the side of the street and tiredness flows through you as if the soul left you. You feel something on your left hand and see that its a note that provides a clue to what happened. As you slowly gain strength to stand on your feet, a city guard comes up and arrests you. Soon after that, you're wearing a barrel and you walk. A walk that is so retarded and so laughable that every passer-by just stares at you, amused by the fact that you're being punished for being drunk. At times they push you over to get a bit of laugh and some even throw dung at you to amuse themselves with your own misfortune. This continues on for a day and the guards finally releases you from such a display. You then realise that almost everything you have is missing but at the very least you still have your clothes on. You take out the note from your left hand and it reads: " Meet me in the alley near the tavern. Don't worry your stuff is safe with me and I'll tell you everything that happened. - Friend " As you finish reading the note. You decided to.. <div id="options"> ⟶ [[Follow what the note says]] ⟶ [[Forget it and go to tavern->Listen to them1]] </div>

You've followed what the note says and see someone, familiar. It was the man that you drank with; leaning on the wall expecting someone which is you. The man then look towards you and says: "Well, I've been expecting you and you seem to be alright. Well not entirely, but you were fun last night gave me quite laugh that I haven't had for a long time" Your thoughts have been circling around your head. Trying to find in your head the faintest memories of what really happened. After a very short pause, the man utters. "I expected as much that you won't remember, but what you did is really quite a night to remember. The drinks were damn heavy you know and I did something special to the beer that you drank. What happened is that we went out and stole a lot of cheese from a cheese shop and you ate it all, like literally ate it all. Not only that, you've wrecked the place as if it was looted to the ground. Luckily, no one was there to spot us and we quickly went elsewhere" You put your hand near your mouth and puff the air. The smell of your breath is cheesy and gaps of your memory slowly resurface. You then question what he put on your beer. "Well it's my own drug you see and I was testing it on you. I thank you for your co-operation. Now, I should get into more details of what happened let's see, oh yeah, we kinda parted ways but I kept watch on you and you've ended up into some brothel. After that, well.. I can't remember, it's hazy but in the end you ended up in the streets. It was fun though" You then question where your missing belongings and he then replies. "No, you won't get them back unless you do something more for me in return. I want you to find someone and bring him or her to me. Simply turn someone into a drunkard and also put this test drug to the test. If you refuse to do this, I'll make sure that you're knocked out cold. I mean really.. cold" After you listen to him, you decided to... <div id="options"> ⟶ [[Disagree to do it]] ⟶ [[Agree to do it]] </div>

You were no fun. The drug dealer killed you anyway. ↻ <<link [[Retry|Main Menu]]>><<audio "mainmenu" play>><</link>><<cacheaudio "mainmenu" "music/mainmenu.mp3">> <<audio "background" fadeout>>

You walk through the tavern's doors and the place is the same as usual. All talks here and there and the aroma of fine beverages spreading around. Your eyes kept moving left and right to see someone suitable enough to drink enough and soon enough, you found your victim. The one that you found is sitting in a bar stool and he's drinking away all the sorrows of life. You went to the bar sitting beside him and bought two mugs of beer; one for you and one for the man next to you. After he drinks a whole mug of beer, he says: "Ahhh, I thank you for this drink. A drink warms the soul when one falls into hard times, and people like you giving me a free drink is a friend of my mine" You then told him that you're gonna buy more and you request him to a drinking contest. "You wanna test me huh? Well then, I accept your challenge" While waiting for the drinks to be served, you sneakily move your hand to get the drug;planning to either drug the beer once it's served or drug the beer while the man is really high drinking during the drink contest. While thinking this through, you decide to... <div id="options"> ⟶ [[Drink contest]] ⟶ [[Drug the beer]] </div>

As the two passer-bys passed, you instantly chase after them with haste. The sounds of your feet thudding to the ground, grew louder and louder. Loud enough for the murderer to hear it. The murderer looked back at you and with a knife on his hand, he prepares for the attack. But before he does he utters: "You dare mess with me huh? Well you'll regret it 'cus you'll end up dead. You hear me? Dead!" There were malice and a slight of annoyance in that voice. Soon after, he charged towards you and as the blade came close, you've step to the other direction and the murderer then swings his blade wildly and maniacally, as if he let animal inside him burst free. Although you've received a few minor cuts, the murderer somehow hurts himself in turn and stops in his tracks; dropping the dagger. Seeing this, you've quickly got hold of the weapon and held it with your two hands near your body, pointing at the one attacking you. The murderer then charged wildly once more and before you knew it, he is dead. Startled, you've looked on his corpse that is slightly lifted by the blade that you hold. You then let go of it and the corpse thuds to the ground as if the puppet's strings were cut. You then looked onward and saw the one who was running from the murderer. It was a girl, roughly in her twenties. You then spoke to her, still terrified but had the courage enough to thank you. You then talked further of what just transpired and reveals that there have been recent murders every night and there's a group of people investigating this. She goes into detail that this group is from the Adventurer's Guild and tells you where they are. Investigate what's going on? <div id="options"> ⟶ [[Investigate]] ⟶ [[Don't its dangerous->Don't bother to help]] </div>

You've ignored the ones that just passed by and a few minutes later- a distinct sound is heard. It is metallic, fleshy, it was someone murdered. Only silence just followed and the dark crept around you. Faint torchlights guided the way and you decide to.. <div id="options"> ⟶ [[Go to Tavern->Go to Tavern]] ⟶ [[Keep walking]] </div>

You've been mugged and murdered. RIP ↻ <<link [[Retry|Main Menu]]>><<audio "mainmenu" play>><</link>><<cacheaudio "mainmenu" "music/mainmenu.mp3">> <<audio "background" fadeout>>

You seek out the adventurers that are investigating this and you went to their guild: The Adventurer's Guild. Usually, guild members don't really interfere with the city's problems but there are problems that do get out of hand to the point that it becomes a quest worth a lot of coin. You went inside the guild building and went up to the counter where they recruit new adventurers. Behind the counter is a guild manager in her thirties and you ask her where a particular group of adventurers are. She answers: "Well, they are here right now and if you want to get involve with their quest, you have to join our guild. That way, things are more convenient for you. So would you like to join?" You agreed to join the guild since you see how it's beneficial to you in the long run. The manager then questions why you decided to investigate this. You explained what happened last night in vivid detail where you saved someone from getting stabbed to death and how you somehow killed the murderer by stealing his knife. As she hears your bravery, she then says: "Sounds like you're more than worthy to join this guild. But with training, you may climb up the ranks depending on the deeds that you've done. Anyways, I'll show you where they are. Follow me" You follow her and as you followed, you then enter the room where the adventurers are. The guild manager explains who you are and your intentions and the adventurers welcomes you in open arms: "You're quite brave to save someone like that. Allows us to introduce ourselves, my name is Fios and other four here are Ronve, Dale, Nix, and Vey" After a few minutes of introductions, the leader of the group, Fios, reveals the details of the plan by pointing something on a map that is laying on the table. "We're all gonna go to this place tonight and we're going there because the next murder will be there. It took awhile to figure it out and these murders are all planned which means it has a pattern to them" "Aye, the investigation has gone long enough. We have to catch one murderer and end this once and for all!" Nix exclaims "Well then, lets get prepared then and head out" Ronve muttered The city's streets is a vast void and petty torch lights lit up the forms. You follow a group of adventurers and saw someone odd that just passed by. You then told the adventurers about it and short whispers followed. They told you to stand by and don't lose sight of the potential murderer, while they prepare to capture. However, you have something else in mind which is to sneakily go close and capture. <div id="options"> ⟶ [[Stand by and look]] ⟶ [[Follow]] </div>

You lose sight of someone odd and the person is nowhere to be seen. You don't know what to do and you have options in mind. Either you go alone and find where the figure was last seen or follow the group and tell them that he or she is gone. With choices laid before you, you decided to... <div id="options"> ⟶ [[Keep finding]] ⟶ [[Follow the group]] </div>

A suspicious person that you're following runs and in turn you run as well telling the runner to stop. You chase the runner and then someone knocks you and blackness dominates your vision. As you regain consciousness, you realize that you were somehow in a jail cell and you knew that you haven't done anything wrong to be locked in a cell. You looked around the cell and there seems to be a guard but the guard himself doesn't look like a city guard and you realise that you're in grave danger of starving to death in these cold cells. You think of ways to escape but the guard is in the way and at times he's not. Luckily, there's a hidden lockpick in the cell and pick up the only hope you have. Whether to pick the lock or wait for the right moment is your choice now and you decided to... <div id="options"> ⟶ [[Pick lock->Pick1]] ⟶ [[Wait->Wait1]] </div>

You went alone and find where the odd figure was and before you knew it, you were then murdered. RIP ↻ <<link [[Retry|Main Menu]]>><<audio "mainmenu" play>><</link>><<cacheaudio "mainmenu" "music/mainmenu.mp3">> <<audio "background" fadeout>>

You and your group of adventurers weren't able to solve culprit of all these murders and you became a nobody as the quest can no longer be completed. Thus, your normal life begins and became a nobody. End Game ⟵ <<link [[Exit to Main Menu|Main Menu]]>><<audio "mainmenu" play>><</link>><<cacheaudio "mainmenu" "music/mainmenu.mp3">>

As you activated the right lever, you hear the clings and clangs of puzzle machinery. You could see how the puzzle is revealing itself more and there are two lever left to activate. The inscription reads: the year that trumps all Which lever to activate next? <div id="options"> ⟶ [[1->I]] ⟶ [[6->VI]] </div>

There's only one lever left to activate and the way will be opened to you. <div id="options"> ⟶ [[6->Unom]] </div>

As the last lever activates, the door opens itself and reveals a passageway. The passage is a void and it's emptiness emits an air of fear that struck your heart. Suddenly, a light comes into view and rows of torches came into light; casting away the darkness. You walk forward as there's no other way and through the passage is a large burial room with treasures sprinkling your eyes. In the middle is a mask that is sitting atop a sarcophagus. You then decided to... <div id="options"> ⟶ [[Pick up gold]] ⟶ [[Pick up mask]] </div>

You pick up the gold and the undead king awakens. And cuts you into pieces. Rest in pieces. ↻ <<link [[Retry|Main Menu]]>><<audio "mainmenu" play>><</link>><<cacheaudio "mainmenu" "music/mainmenu.mp3">> <<audio "background" fadeout>>

With curiosity, you look at the mask and your mind plays the memories back when you were eavesdropping. You've remembered that this tomb belongs to King Rexfur who is said to be a thief and he wears a mask imbued with unknown magic. As you hold the mask at your hand, you soon hear a creak on the sarcophagus and took a few steps back. The sound grew until it's lid burst open. What is now before you is the legendary King Rexfur. His deathly eyes gaze at you and it's gaze alone, shivers you in fear. The King then charges at you, and you fly around the burial chamber; dodging his attacks. The power of each attack can be sensed back at you, and its power feels a lot more closely with your left hand. A hand that holds the mask. As the undead king swings his blade at you, you then block it with your sword and stagger. You then tried to do a follow-through attack but failed to hit anything and you then quickly took a step back and you were sure that the king's blade was so close to cut you open. Not knowing what to do, you then decided to... <div id="options"> ⟶ [[Wear the mask]] ⟶ [[Continue fighting]] </div>

As you wear the mask, it's power runs through your veins and your heart no longer wavered to the undead king that attacked you. Rather, you feel as though you're stealing the king's power and as you do so, the king slowly crumbles to dust and nothing is left of him as his remains slowly drifted away. With the mask on, it's power fills you and giving you visions of your future destiny. A destiny that will make you a legend, but there's a curse. A curse that'll forever bound you to this world and become undead. And so you decided to... <div id="options"> ⟶ [[Reject the mask's tempting power]] ⟶ [[Go forth and wear the mask]] </div>

You decided to fight and in vain, you died. ↻ <<link [[Retry|Main Menu]]>><<audio "mainmenu" play>><</link>><<cacheaudio "mainmenu" "music/mainmenu.mp3">>

You escaped the tomb and set out to the world; becoming anew. You're now a legendary thief and got involved in politics by building connections. Your connections grew in power and proclaim yourself as a ruler of the city. But not only the city, but you've also established a Kingdom and the Kingdom becomes an Empire stretching far and wide. You ruled your realm in your own way and made another mark in history. <div id="options"> ⟵ <<link [[Exit to Main Menu|Main Menu]]>><<audio "mainmenu" play>><</link>><<cacheaudio "mainmenu" "music/mainmenu.mp3">> </div>

You decided to do a drinking contest and merrily filled your with beer; making a new buddy. Although you made a buddy and your mind has gone dizzy, you remember that you have to put a drug into the beer then give it to him. You also remember that the drug is in one of your pockets and you need to quickly drug the beer and choose the right one. Before your mind chooses not to. <div id="options"> ⟶ [[Pocket 1]] ⟶ [[Pocket 2]] ⟶ [[Pocket 3]] </div>

You secretly put the drug onto the beer and give the beer to the man beside you. As you lift the mug and pour the beer into your stomach, the man quickly turns into a violent drunkard and you waver. The drunkard tries to punch you sluggishly and you dodge it which he then follows it through with another punch.

As you put your ears close, you hear the following: "Murdering is fun, isn't it?

"It's part of the ritual and it has already started as we speak" "What's this ritual?" "Well, as far as I know, it's necromancy and every kill is progress" "Hmmm ok, but how many do we have to kill?" "Not sure exactly but as soon as we have enough victims, we as a dark guild will rule this city like our own. And once we do, we all become immortal or undead. Either way, it's all for power. Now let's get to the plans" After you hear everything, you then escaped and exposed the evil plans to the guild. In response, the guild members gathered up for a joint operation to wipe this evil guild out from the city. Somehow, you were leading the attack and the intense fight wipes out a guild full of murderers. You were then hailed as a hero and as a hero, your new life has just begun.

You decided to forget what just happened and went into the tavern to see if there's anything, and there is. A bunch of thieves that you saw earilier are still planning something and you see the oppurtunity as you listen silently: "So when should we rob that tomb?" one thief asks "Perhaps tomorrow night, but keep your voice down somebody might hear us" "Alright tomorrow night" he whispers "but before we go, how much do we know about the tomb?" "Legend has it that its the final resting place of a legendary king named Rexfur with this city as his capital" "This place? Really? I've never would've imagined" "It was, 200 years ago, hard to believe it myself and to think that this city was once worthy to be considered a capital. It is said that he wore a mask imbued with magic and this mask is buried within his tomb" "Hmmm, there are rumours that he was also a thief right?" "A thief? How can a king be a thief?" "Such legends are hard to believe. But I suppose there's a bit of truth to that" "Enough talk, I sense someone is watching us" "What?!" They suddenly notice you, and you quickly turn your head nervously pretending that there's nothing to be seen. Soon after, a hand lands on your shoulder and the thief asks: "I know you've heard us so don't play dumb" An instant chill of regret fills you, and you wish that you didn't listen earlier. However, the thief has more to say: "I can't afford someone knowing our plans so I'll give you two options. Either you join with us or be silenced tomorrow.
