Chapter 6: A Scholar is Born

For food, I didn’t consider calling Ennolf, or going to some fancy restaurant. I couldn’t afford the latter, and had no reason to intrude on the former’s life with his wife. I hadn’t even checked to see if he was logged in. Instead, I simply purchased a cheap loaf of bread from a street vendor for ten copper pieces. I …

Chapter 5: A Night on the Road

Without much else to do, I simply sat at the side of the road, waiting for Diane to arrive. To my surprise, it didn’t take long, and she appeared within five minutes of sending me the message saying that she was on her way. Was she already outside of the city?

This was a day that we had been waiting for, the advent of the players. Unfortunately, I wasn’t familiar …

Prologue: level 1 fallen

Where am I? The thought coursed through my mind, looking around and seeing a pitch black void. I… I couldn’t remember my name. Why couldn’t I remember my name?
