1
2You are Pito Nito, a wizard living in the kingdom of Larion. You have a staff and a spellbook. You finish your long journey and finally arrive at the ruin you've been looking for. You look around and see that it's not much different than when you left it years ago.
3
4It seems like this place has always existed, but nobody ever bothered to explore it until now. You wonder if there is some sort of magical barrier or something keeping people out?
5
6> go north
7
8You decide to head north instead of south because you think you'll find more interesting things there. It will be easier to get around on foot since the terrain isn't as rugged here.
9
10The first thing you notice is how many trees there are.
11
12> scout forest
13
14You walk through the forest for awhile, but you don't encounter any hostile creatures. You continue walking until you reach a small stream. There is no bridge across it so you can only cross by wading in the water. The water is clear and clean so it doesn't smell bad either.
15
16> gather water
17
18You gather water from the stream and drink it all up. After drinking, you feel refreshed. This is good because you're tired after your long trek.
19
20Afterwards, you take off your backpack and put it away in a corner of the room where you keep all your belongings.
21
22> search for hidden treasure
23
24You open the bag and check inside. You find a few coins which you pocket them. Then, you close the bag and leave the room.
25
26As soon as you exit, you hear a loud noise coming from outside.
27
28> cast fireball on house
29
30You quickly run towards the sound of the noise and cast a fireball at it. It explodes harmlessly against one wall, but another explosion occurs behind you. You fall down hard onto the ground and roll on top of it trying to protect yourself from whatever caused this explosion.
31
32> cast invisibility on self
33
34You turn invisible and hide under the floorboards near the entrance of the ruined building. You wait patiently for someone to come to you, but nobody comes. Eventually, you hear footsteps approaching from behind you.
35
36> cast melf's acid arrow on intruder
37
38You raise your hand and throw an acid arrow at the person who came from behind you. Unfortunately, they dodge it easily and then you hear a thud on the floor. You stand up slowly and see that one of the walls collapsed due to being hit by the arrow.
39
40> run through collapsed wall
41
42You run through the collapsing wall and enter the next room. Inside this room, you find a table with several bottles on it.
43
44> throw a bottle at the intruder
45
46You toss a bottle at the person sitting on the other side of the table. They catch it and throw it back at you. You catch it and throw it back again, but this time they manage to evade your attack by jumping over the table.
47
48> throw a bottle at the intruder's feet
49
50You jump forward and throw a bottle at their feet. Unfortunately, they dodge it easily and then you hear a thud on the floor. You stand up slowly and see that one of the walls collapsed due to being hit by the bottle.
51
52> cast  polymorph on intruder
53
54You raise your hands and cast a polymorph spell on the person sitting across from you. The man looks like a pig in human form, while his face changes into that of a small rat. He screams loudly when he realizes what has happened to him.
55
56> confiscate the intruder's weapons, then hogtie him
57
58You grab the thief's weapon and take it away from him. Then, you tie his hands together with rope so he cannot escape or hurt anyone else. You hang him upside-down by his ankles from a hook on the ceiling.
59
60> forcefeed the intruder an untested potion
61
62You force feed the intruder a potion which causes him to vomit blood. This results in him falling off the hooks and hitting his head on the floor. Fortunately, he doesn't die immediately, but instead just goes unconscious for awhile.
63
64> hang the intruder from the hook in the ceiling
65
66You hang the thief from the ceiling hooks by his ankles. Unfortunately, he manages to pull himself free and get out of your dungeon before you can do anything about it.
67
68> sever the thief's achilles' tendons
69
70You cut the thief's Achilles' tendons, causing him to fall down and break his neck instantly.
71
72> check if the thief is paralyzed
73
74You look at the thief and see that he isn't paralyzed. You go back to your previous position and continue to wait...
75
76A few days pass...
77
78The Thief wakes up. He is very surprised to find himself in a cell with no windows, bars or doors.
79
80> use telekinesis to tickle the thief
81
82You use your mind to make the thief laugh. It works! He laughs so hard that he falls off the hooks and hits his head on the floor. Luckily, he doesn't die immediately, but rather just goes unconscious for awhile.
83
84> ask intruder what their intentions are
85
86You decide to test whether the thief is really a spy sent by the king to kill you or not. You try to convince him that he should tell you what his intentions are. Unfortunately, he refuses and says that he will only talk when there is something worth listening too.
87
88> sing Africa by Toto
89
90You sing Africa by Toto. The thief smiles at this and tells you that he likes it. He also says that he hopes you don't think less of him because of it.
91
92After a couple more days pass...
93
94> "Your money or your life!"
95
96You say "Your money or your life!" and the thief takes out his coin purse. He shows you that it contains 100 gold coins. He asks you to give him 10 silver ones as payment for letting him live.
97
98> spit in his face and take the 1000 coins
99
100You spit in the thief's face and take the 1000 silver coins. He thanks you profusely and gives you one of his shirts as payment for letting him live.
101
102He then leaves your dungeon saying that he was just doing what any good citizen would do under such circumstances.
103
104> tickle him again
105
106You tickle the thief some more and he falls over laughing.
107
108You now know that the man is a spy sent by King Falfadinn to kill you. You decide to keep him alive for information purposes, but you will be sure to torture him later.
109
110> go to magic store
111
112You go to the magic shop and buy a few things. One of them being a magical ring which allows you to teleport anywhere within sight. Another item is an amulet which makes you invisible for several hours at a time. Finally, you grab some rope from the wall and tie the thief up.
113
114> put on ring and amulet
115
116You put on the ring and amulet. Suddenly, you feel like you can fly. You walk outside and see that the thief has been tied up to a tree nearby. He looks terrified and begs for mercy before running away into the forest.
117
118> use magic amulet on self
119
120You use the amulet on yourself and suddenly you become invisible for several hours. You look around and see nothing except trees, grass, rocks and water. When you return inside, the thief looks even worse than before. He begs for mercy once more before running away into the forest again.
121
122> use magic ring to teleport to King Falfadinn
123
124You use the ring on yourself and suddenly you teleport to King Falfadinn who is sitting in his throne room with a bunch of nobles around him. He looks very angry and points at you accusingly.
125
126"What did you do?" he demands angrily.
127
128> use telekinesis to rip king falfadinn's eyes out
129
130You use the ring on yourself and suddenly you pull out King Falfadinn's eye. He screams in pain as his other eye bulges out of its socket. His body convulses violently as blood pours down his face and he collapses backwards onto the floor.
131
132> do the default Fortnite dance over his body
133
134You do the default dance over the corpse of King Falfadinn. The music stops and you laugh maniacally as you dance around his dead body.
135
136Suddenly, a voice comes through the speakers "That was... interesting."
137
138> !The simulated throne room disintegrates
139
140The virtual reality simulation of the throne room disintegrates. A large black hole appears in the sky above you.
141
142> enter the hole
143
144You enter the hole and find yourself floating in space. There is no sound save for your own breathing. You float along until you come across a strange device attached to a long pole. It looks like it could be used to control something, but there is only one button labeled 'Start'.
145
146> push 'Start'.
147
148A bright light shines down from the heavens and engulfs you completely. You scream in terror as you fall towards the earth. As soon as you touch down, your world goes dark and all that remains is darkness.
149
150> 
151
152You awaken in a cold sweat. Your head hurts terribly and you don't know how you got here or what happened to make you lose consciousness. You slowly open your eyes and stare around the room. There is a table covered with various instruments and medical equipment.
153
154> call out for a doctor
155
156You call out for a doctor and a man wearing scrubs walks in carrying an instrument case.
157
158"Ah, I'm sorry about this," he says apologetically. "I didn't mean to wake you up so early."
159
160> "What's going on?"
161
162"It's a very serious situation," he explains. "We're trying to fix you up."
163
164"How?" you ask.
165
166He doesn't answer right away; instead he just takes off his coat and hands it to you.
167
168> 
169
170On top of the coat is a surgical mask and gloves.
171
172"These will help keep your mouth closed while we operate," he says. "They'll also protect my assistant from getting burned when she touches me."
173
174> "What's wrong with me?"
175
176"Well, you've been having some problems lately," he admits. "Your vision has become blurry and you can't focus well enough to cast spells properly anymore. We need to fix that."
177
178"But why me? What did I do?"
179
180He shrugs his shoulders.
181
182> 
183
184"Nothing really, except get lucky and meet someone who was willing to help you. Now then, let's go."
185
186  He leads you into another room filled with other people wearing similar coats. They look at each other nervously and begin speaking in hushed tones.
187
188> try to cast fireball
189
190You attempt to cast fireball, but nothing happens. The room becomes quiet again and the people start looking nervous.
191
192"This isn't working!" someone shouts. "The walls are too thick! We can't even see each other!"
193
194"Maybe if we move closer together..."
195
196> 
197
198"No, no, no...!"
199
200Suddenly a large metal door opens up and several men dressed in black suits enter the room. One of them looks at you suspiciously before speaking.
201
202  "Are you alright?" he asks. "Do you require any assistance?"
203
204> "Can you kill the doctor for me?"
205
206"Yes, please!" you shout.
207
208The man nods and turns back to the others. Suddenly one of them speaks up again.
209
210  "Let's hope these aren't some sort of assassins," he remarks as they all walk towards you.
211
212> 
213
214As soon as they reach you, one of them grabs your arm and pulls you forward. As soon as he does, the other two grab your legs and drag you through the doorway. You scream in pain as you fall face first onto the floor.
215
216> 
217
218"Whoa, hold on there!" the man holding your arms yells. "I'm sorry about this, but we have to take care of our own business here."
219
220  He walks over to you and begins poking around inside your clothing.
221
222> "What are you doing?"
223
224"We're going to have to find out what's causing your eyesight issues," he explains. "So far it seems like you were just unlucky."
225
226"How long have you known about this?
227
228> respond with laser eye beams
229
230"Oh, so now you know. That's good," he says. "Now, I want you to concentrate on focusing your energy into your eyes and try to focus on the beam."
231
232You feel a tingling sensation throughout your body as you do exactly that.
233
234> 
235
236Soon, you feel yourself being lifted off the ground and floating upwards.
237
238"Good job," he smiles. "Now, I want you to release your concentration on my voice."
239
240You relax your mind slightly and allow him to guide you where he wants you to go.
241
242> 
243
244"There, that should be enough to get you started. Now, let's begin."
245
246  He leads you down a corridor and eventually stops outside a small office. Inside is an old man sitting behind his desk writing something on a piece of parchment.
247
248> "Are you King Falfadinn?"
249
250"Yes, I am," he replies. "But why would you need to see me?"
251
252"Well, I was told by someone that you could help us."
253
254He pauses for a moment. "Hmm, yes, I suppose you might be right..."
255
256> "I thought I killed you..."
257
258"No, no! It wasn't that at all! I mean... well yeah, I did kill you once or twice when we had our little spat years ago. But then I realized that killing you wouldn't really solve anything.
259
260> "What will?"
261
262"The problem is, I don't think you can actually make any progress in making the Empire stronger. The way things are currently set up, it'll never grow strong enough to stand against the forces of Chaos."
263
264> "Who is behind the forces of Chaos?"
265
266"That's not important. What is important is that you can't do anything about it."
267
268"Can't do anything about what?
269
270> demand to know who the threat is
271
272"Well, there are three major threats: the Empire itself, the forces of Chaos and the shadows. All three of them have their own strengths and weaknesses. In fact, they're even working together right now."
273
274"Wait a minute!" you exclaim.
275
276> "If they're all working together, why does the Empire need to be stronger?"
277
278"Because if it weren't for the Empire, Chaos would have free reign over much of this land. And if it wasn't for the shadows, they'd probably just wipe out most of humanity."
279
280> "How can Chaos be stopped?"
281
282"By having more people join the Empire. By getting rid of those pesky shadows, who are also causing problems by using magic to their advantage."
283
284"So what do you propose exactly?
285
286> 
287
288How do we stop Chaos?"
289
290"Simple. We need to build a new army."
291
292  He smiles at you as you stare back blankly. "A new army? A war machine? No, no, no! This isn't some science fiction movie! This is real life!
293
294> 
295
296Now, how do we go about doing that?"
297
298  You look around nervously. "We need money."
299
300  He nods slowly. "Of course. How much?"
301
302  You think for a moment before replying, "About twenty million gold pieces.
303
304> 
305
306That should buy us enough soldiers to take care of the shadows."
307
308  He looks at you with a smile. "Good choice, kid. Now let's get started on recruiting more citizens into the Empire.
309
310> "I don't want to go back into the simulation."
311
312"No, I'm afraid that won't work either. It's too dangerous to go back into the simulation."
313
314  You shake your head. "It was fun while it lasted, but I've had enough of this place. Let me live my life like a normal person."
315
316> "What is my name outside of that simulation?"
317
318"You're called John Smith. Your real name is John Smith."
319
320  He smiles at you. "John Smith, huh? Well, I guess you'll fit right in here..."
321
322  You nod silently as he walks away from the table and towards the door.
323
324> follow him
325
326You walk along the corridor, until you reach an elevator. The doors open and the elevator begins its ascent up to the top floor.
327
328> 
329
330As you enter the elevator, you feel a strange sensation. Something feels different... Like something is missing...
331
332  Suddenly, you find yourself being lifted upwards into the air. You are floating above ground level and looking down upon a city of skyscrapers.
333
334> whistle, impressed
335
336The elevator doors open and you float inside. As the doors close behind you, you hear a voice call out to you from above:
337
338  "Hello there, citizen!"
339"Hello there, citizen!"
340"Are you sure this is where you want to go?
341
342> "no.
343
344"No.
345"Well then, why not?"
346"Because I am tired of living in a simulated world."
347"But aren't you free to leave anytime you wish?"
348"Yes, but I would prefer if you didn't try anything funny with my body.
349
350> 
351
352If you touch me anywhere else, I will make sure that you know what happens when someone tries to steal my body."
353"Hmmm... well, I suppose I can respect your wishes."
354"Thank you. Thank you very much! Now please tell me how to get home."
355"
356
357> I don't even remember where I live anymore."
358
359"Oh no, don't worry about that. Just follow me."
360"Okay, I'll do just that."
361"Alright then, we need to get going. We still have time before the sun sets tonight."
362"Yeah, yeah... I'm ready for some action now!"
363
364> follow it
365
366You follow the man through the streets of the city. Soon, you see a large building ahead of you. A huge sign on top reads:
367THE LARION UNIVERSE
368The two men turn around and begin walking towards it.
369
370> 
371
372You follow them.
373
374Suddenly, you feel a sudden pain shoot through your back. It hurts like hell and you fall to the ground, clutching your wound.
375
376"Don't move," the man says, as he grabs hold of your hand and squeezes hard.
377
378> "What do you want?"
379
380"I want to know what you really think of us. What do you think of our profession?"
381
382> "What the FUCK is your profession!?"
383
384"My profession?" The man looks at you confused. "It's simple. My name is Pito Nito and I am a wizard."
385
386"A WHAT?!" You shout angrily.
387
388> 
389
390"How could you possibly be a wizard?! How can you be so stupid as to believe that magic exists? Magic does NOT exist!
391
392> Stop pretending that Larion is real!"
393
394"And how could you be so fucking stupid? Magic DOES exist! In fact, it IS the only way to survive this simulation. If you're willing to give up your life, then maybe we can work together.
395
396> "What's the job?"
397
398"Well, we would be working together to escape from this place. We would be able to travel through portals, find new lands to settle down on and all that other shit."
399"So you'd let me out of here if I worked with you?
400
401> 
402
403That sounds pretty damn good, but I'm not doing it! Not because I don't trust you, but because..."
404"Because?" The man asks.
405"Because I'm not going to put myself in danger for a bunch of kids' games."
406"But...
407
408> 
409
410But...we need people to help us get out of here! We've been trying to contact the government, but they won't help us!"
411"They will, but it'll cost money. And there's no guarantee that they'll even listen to us.
412
413> The Empire needs 'THE LARION UNIVERSE' to recruit troops against Chaos and the shadows."
414
415"The LARION UNIVERSE?
416
417> 
418
419That's just another name for the Empire. It means 'the great land'. They've got a big empire. But who are you exactly? Why are you helping us?"
420"I'm sorry, but I can't tell you much about my past or why I'm helping you."
421"
422
423> 
424
425Oh? What do you mean?"
426"I was born into a poor family. My father died when I was young, leaving me to take care of my mother and two younger sisters.
427
428> "Were they hot?"
429
430"No, but they were very loving. My mother loved them so much that she didn't want me to leave home until I did. She wanted me to stay with her forever.
431
432> "Without the Empire, Chaos and the shadows will progress unfettered."
433
434"Yeah, but what does that mean?"
435"It means that without the Empire, the shadows will progress unfettered. They'll eventually conquer everything and become an unstoppable force. That's why I'm helping you."
436"Wait, so what do you want me to do?
437
438> "We need to recruit more soldiers for the Empire. We have to return to the Larion Universe."
439
440"Really? So you're going to lead us to the Larion Universe where we can fight against the Shadows and Chaos?
441
442> "It's the only way I know how to help." Enter the building labeled 'THE LARION UNIVERSE'.
443
444And now you enter the building which looks like this:
445
446There are three doors on each side of the room. On one wall is a large painting depicting a forest. There are trees everywhere, some small and green, others larger than houses and still others as tall as skyscrapers.
447
448> 
449
450A few birds fly around. In the middle of the painting is a man sitting on a rock looking at his hands. He has long brown hair and wears a simple tunic. His eyes are closed and he seems to be meditating.
451
452> approach the main desk and ask the clerk for access to a Larion Universe VR booth.
453
454"Hello, I am here to see a virtual reality booth."
455"Yes, yes! This way please!"
456You walk through the door and find yourself in a huge room. A lot of computers line the walls. Some are showing different videos and others are playing games.
457
458> 
459
460"This is the VR booth. All the people here are from other universes and have been transported to our universe. These rooms allow us to travel between universes and communicate with each other."
461"So, you're telling me there's a bunch of nerds all stuck together in a room?"
462
463> 
464
465"Well, no...but it could also be considered that."
466"What are you talking about?
467
468> 
469
470What are you talking about?"
471"I don't understand. Are you saying that these people aren't real or something?"
472"No, not at all. They're just being used by the Empire to gather information.
473
474> "I need to re-enter the Kingdom of Larion. Is there an available booth?"
475
476"Oh, yes. It's right over there."
477You head back to the receptionist who tells you that she'll get it ready soon. She goes off to talk to someone else and you continue walking.
478
479> wait for my vr booth to be ready
480
481After waiting for a while, you finally hear the door open up. A woman walks out and says "Ah, hello there. What brings you here?"
482"I'm trying to get into the VR booth.
483
484> 
485
486Can you give me access?"
487"Sure thing, what's your name?"
488"Pito Nito."
489"Very well then, let's go inside.
490
491> 
492
493We've got some things we need to do first though.
494
495> "I need to return to Larion NOW.
496
497"Okay, okay. We can do this later."
498The woman nods and leads you to a large metal door which opens up into another room. Inside the room is a table covered with monitors and computer screens. There are several people sitting around watching various video feeds on their screens.
499
500> enter my personal vr chamber and return to the kingdom of Larion
501
502You walk towards the desk where a man sits typing away at his keyboard. He looks up when he sees you standing behind him.
503
504"Hello Pito Nito." He greets.
505
506> nod and continue toward my VR booth
507
508He continues to type as you approach him.
509
510"So, you want to try out our virtual reality system?" He asks.
511"Yes I would like that very much." You reply.
512
513> 
514
515"Well, that's great! Now then, if you'd please come over here." He points to a chair across from him.
516
517He motions for you to sit down and begins getting a headset on.
518
519> sit down
520
521You put on the headset and begin looking around. You see a large screen showing you a green landscape with mountains in the distance. You also notice that you're wearing a pair of goggles which completely block out most of your vision.
522
523> remove goggles
524
525You quickly remove your goggles and realize that you're in a small cabin. It has no windows or doors, just wooden walls and flooring.
526
527> are Pito Nito, a wizard living in the kingdom of Larion. You have a staff and a spellbook. You finish your long journey and finally arrive at the ruin you've been looking for. You look around and see that it's not much different than when you left it years ago.
528
529"It's still there!" You exclaim.
530"Yeah, but it doesn't look like anything was changed except for the fact that we had a better view of the world." A voice says from somewhere nearby.
531
532> 
533
534"Where is the rest of the village?" You ask.
535"There isn't one anymore. All of them were killed by the Empire." Another voice answers.
536
537> "The Empire fights Chaos, not villagers"
538
539"We don't know what happened exactly, but we can guess. The Empire is trying to wipe out all forms of Chaos magic. They aren't too successful though, because they only managed to kill off the few remaining wizards who could cast such powerful spells.
540
541> "Is there any one here able-bodied enough to join the fight against Chaos?"
542
543"No, but there are plenty of people willing to help. We'll be glad to get more men and women into this cause."
544
545You smile and think about how you're going to convince them. Maybe you should tell them the truth?
546
547> summon a portal to the Empire's core dimension, then usher the peasants through
548
549You summon a portal to the Empire's core dimension, then usher the peasants through.
550
551"Good job!" You shout and start walking away.
552
553"Wait! What about me?!" One of the peasants shouts after you.
554
555> "What's your name, ma'am?
556
557"I'm Denna." She replies.
558"And I'm Jazir." You reply.
559"How old are you?" She asks.
560"Twenty-two." You reply.
561"That's pretty young for joining the Empire army..."
562
563> "Chaos needs to be stopped, Denna." examine Denna's appearance
564
565Denna looks up at you and smiles. Her face is very pale, her eyes are bloodshot and she has a bandage wrapped around her right eye. You take note of her features as you continue examining her appearance.
566
567> "What happened to your eye?"
568
569"They cut it open during an attack on my home." She explains.
570"Oh... Well that sucks..." You say.
571"My parents were killed during those attacks." Denna adds.
572
573> remove the bandage from her eye, then inspect the wound
574
575You remove the bandage from her eye and examine the small hole in her eye. It's not infected or anything, but it does need attention.
576
577"Let me heal you up." You say.
578
579She nods and stands up, before falling back down onto the ground.
580
581> cast a spell to regrow her eye, then hug her gently
582
583You cast a healing spell over her, which heals the wound instantly. Afterward, you embrace her tightly as tears stream down her cheeks.
584
585"Thank you." She says tearfully.
586
587Afterwards, you leave Denna to go find the rest of your group.
588
589> 
590
591When you return, you see a large group of soldiers waiting for you.
592
593"Alright, let's get started." One of them says.
594
595> "We need to form a phalanx and march to the far north of this realm. That's where Chaos swells in power."
596
597The soldiers nod their heads.
598
599"Yes, sir." They all say in unison.
600
601You begin marching towards the north of the realm. Along the way, you speak with some of your fellow soldiers who seem happy to see you again.
602
603> !The soldiers ask Pito Nito where he had been recently.
604
605"I was training the peasants in defense against Chaos." He answers.
606"Well, that's good to hear. We've got a lot of work ahead of us now." A soldier says.
607"Yeah, we're going to have to do something about the shadows, though."
608
609> "Their time will come. First we have to eradicate Chaos from all dimensions within 2 standard deviations of the Prime Empire. That should buy enough time to clean up the shadows."
610
611A few of the soldiers look surprised by your answer.
612
613"Sir, what did you mean?" One asks.
614"It means we'll have to deal with them sooner rather than later." Another one says.
615"But how can we possibly defeat them when they're so powerful?"
616
617> smirk, and say "I've got a plan. But until we reach the Chaos here, everything else is up in the air. Keep marching." 
618
619As you march onwards, the soldiers start to get impatient.
620
621"Where are we going? Where are we supposed to go?" Some of them ask.
622"That's another question." You reply. "Now, we're heading North into the Realm of Chaos."
623
624> reach the realm of chaos
625
626You arrive at the realm of chaos. You notice that there is no sign of any other life forms whatsoever. There are only a few dead trees and rocks scattered around the place.
627
628"This must be where Chaos resides." You think to yourself.
629
630> seek out the blackened core, the source of Chaos in each realm.
631
632You walk further into the realm of chaos. You eventually reach a large blackened spot on the ground. As you approach closer, you realize that it's actually an Eye of Ra sitting atop a throne made of bones.
633
634"What...what the hell is this?" You exclaim.
635
636> !The forces of chaos ambush the soldiers
637
638Suddenly, the forces of chaos attack you! They surround you and attempt to take you prisoner. You fight back valiantly, but it isn't long before they overpower you.
639
640> call upon the power of magic latent to this realm of Larion to annihilate the forces of chaos
641
642You summon forth a blast of energy which incinerates the forces of chaos. It seems like it would've killed them instantly, but somehow they manage to survive. They continue attacking you, but you keep fighting back as best you can. Eventually, they give up and retreat back into their own dimension.
643
644> "FOLLOW THEM! I'LL HANDLE THE BLACKENED CORE!"
645
646You quickly follow the forces of chaos into their dimension. After a short time, you find yourself face to face with the Eye of Ra himself.
647
648"So this is what passes for justice in this world." He remarks.
649
650> "Rabid animals don't get justice, they get put down." then cast magic missile on the Eye of Ra
651
652The Eye of Ra takes advantage of your momentary lapse in concentration and casts a bolt of lightning at you. You barely dodge it, but it still hurts.
653
654"Oh no! How could you not see me?!" He laughs.
655
656> as he laughs, throw sword into his forehead, guiding it with magic
657
658You immediately cast a beam of light towards the Eye of Ra. The beam hits him directly in the head, killing him instantly.
659
660> run back to the kingdom of larion to destroy the Blackened Core
661
662You rush back to the kingdom of Larion, hoping that you can destroy the Blackened Core. Unfortunately, it seems that the forces of Chaos are now trying to retake control over all realms.
663
664> rally my soldiers and move to destroy the Blackened Core, at all cost
665
666You gather your troops and prepare to do battle against the forces of Chaos.
667
668> 
669
670"I'm going to crush these beasts once and for all!" You shout.
671"Yes, yes, we'll crush them!" Someone shouts.
672"No! We must hold our ground!" Another says.
673
674> assess the forces of Chaos tactically
675
676The forces of Chaos consist of several types of demons.
677
678> look at the demons, probing for weaknesses
679
680There are three types of demons: Flesh Golems, Blood Demons and Bone Demons. Each type has its strengths and weaknesses.
681
682> consider the weaknesses of blood demons
683
684Blood Demons are very fast and strong, but weak to fire. They also bleed a lot when killed.
685
686They're also immune to cold damage, so try to keep them frozen or chilled whenever possible.
687
688> consider the weaknesses of flesh golems
689
690Flesh Golems are extremely durable, but weak to electricity. Try to stun them by shooting lightning bolts at them.
691
692They're also immune to poison damage, so try to keep their health low if possible.
693
694> consider the weaknesses of Bone Demons
695
696Bone Demons are incredibly tough, but slow. They're also immune to poison damage, so try to keep their health low if possible.
697
698You decide on the weaknesses of each type of demon.
699
700> cover the archers' arrows in burning pitch, and direct them to fire on the blood demons
701
702The archers fire upon the Blood Demons, causing many of them to be set alight. Many more fall from the flames before they can even react.
703
704> focus ballistas on the bone demons, bundling the ammo with blackpowder used for mining.
705
706You send your ballistae towards the Bone Demons, who quickly collapse under the weight of the cannonballs. Some survive long enough to be stunned by your other spells, but you've won this battle as well.
707
708> focus the bulk of the remaining troops on the flesh golems, creating as many open wounds as possible
709
710You order your troops to create as much open wounds as possible. Soon, the flesh golems begin to fall like dominoes.
711
712Afterwards, you take a moment to congratulate yourself on defeating such an enemy. After all that training, you finally achieved it.
713
714> electrocute the spilled blood, conducting it to all of the flesh golems simultaneously 
715
716You command your troops to conduct the spilled blood into the golem's bodies, which soon begins to twitch uncontrollably. As more and more blood flows into the golems, they begin to melt, eventually exploding into a bloody mess.
717
718> approach the Blackened Core, morning star in hand
719
720You stand over the Blackened Core, preparing to strike. Suddenly, you feel a strange sensation. It feels like...a presence. A powerful one at that.
721
722"No!" you scream out in pain as you turn around and see a massive shadow standing behind you!
723
724> strike at the blackened core, aiming to shatter it before the shadow can react
725
726You swing your Morningstar at the Blackened Core, hoping to shatter it before the shadow can react. Unfortunately, you don't manage to do so. Instead, you feel a great force slam into your body. Your bones crack and break as the blackness within you consumes you completely.
727
728> focus the last magical power within me to disintegrate the Blackened Core 
729
730With a final burst of energy, you unleash a blast of pure darkness against the Blackened Core. With a loud boom, the entire room goes dark. You collapse onto your knees, staring up at the ceiling where you once again see nothing but void.
731
732> contemplate how it feels to float in the void
733
734A few moments later, you wake up. You find yourself lying on the floor of your own bedroom, still wearing your pajamas. However, there is no bed here; instead, you find yourself floating in mid-air.
735
736> hold myself aloft as I wait for my bed to render
737
738You remain suspended in the air, waiting for your bed to arrive. Eventually, you hear a creaking sound and then silence. You look down at yourself and notice that you're now naked.
739
740Suddenly, you realize what just happened: You had been possessed by a demon!
741
742> try to subdue the entity within me
743
744You attempt to grab the demonic entity within you, but it's too late. The creature has already escaped its physical form and taken control of your mind.
745
746"NO!", you shout, "I'm not going to let this happen! I'll kill this thing!"
747
748> in a final act of defiance I perform a soldier's salute and shout to the demon, "FOR THE EMPIRE!" as I use a minor telekinesis spell to stop my own heart, delivering the demon a final death as a prisoner of a dying mortal shell.
749
750The demon looks upon you with utter hatred, and then vanishes from your sight.
751
752> 
753
754
755> 
756
757THE END
