Long ago, two race ruled over Earth, HUMANS, and MONSTERS.

One day, war broke out between the two races.

After a long battle, the humans were victorious.

They sealed the monsters underground with a magic spell

…

Angered by their defeat, some monsters found another way out of the underground. The humans had failed to seal all of the underground's exits.

However, A powerful Wizard, known as M. Rasmodius, saw these events unfold. He sealed the other way out with a spell of his own, but not before a good population of monsters settled in their new home.

TO ensure they would not cause chaos, Rasmodius forced these monsters into the mines of the mountain where the new seal exit of the underground was. Slimes, Stone Golems, Dust Sprites, Ghosts, Skeletons, Shadow Brutes, and many more inhabited the darkness of the mines.

From that day on, Rasmodius settled down in the valley that the mountain range created. HE named this valley…

STARDEW VALLEY.

~201X~

He sat, unhappily in his office cube.

Looking up, he could see the company's logo and trademarked name.

Life's better with JOJA

'Better my ass,' the male thought as he looked back at his desk. He had just completed a huge stack of paperwork, and now he probably had only a few minutes rest before he got yet another big stack of damned paperwork. HE threw away his pen, which had run dry of ink from all the writing he was doing, and looked around for a new one. Opening the draw to his right, he found a letter with a purple wax seal.

'I remember this, Grandpa's gift…' The boy thought as he remembered the day he was called out of collage to see his elder before he passed away.

The blonde male sat in the small bedroom of a tiny cabin, having just arrived from Silver City College. He had received a letter that explained that his Grandfather was dying, and wished to see him before he passed away.

Not one to be rude, he took the fastest route to his Grandfather's house, arriving late in the evening.

His Grandfather didn't speak for a long time, the male thought he was too late until he heard him speak up.

"And for my very special Grandson, i want you to have this sealed envelope."

The male walked over, and took the sealed envelope from his elder. He was about to open it, but then his grandfather spoke up again.

"No no, Don't open it yet, have patience."

"Now, listen close…"

The blonde grabbed his chair, pulled it up close, and sat next to the bed his Grandfather rested on.

"There will come a day where you will feel crushed by the burden of modern life. And your bright spirit will fade before a growing darkness."

'Darkness?' The younger one wondered as his grandfather continued.

"When that happens my boy, you will be ready for this gift."

The blonde male smiled, and nodded before putting the envelope into a pocket on his jacket.

"Now, let Grandpa rest…"

It only seemed like three years ago when that happened. Shortly after that night, his grandfather died. It was a private family only funeral, and he made sure he didn't miss it.

But now, Now he needed a change. He had not felt happy in ages. He had no friends, and his life was losing its meaning.

He was certain he was ready for whatever Grandpa had left him.

Opening the envelope with no trouble at all, he pulled out a letter, and what appeared to be a property deed. He decided to read the letter first.

'Dear Silvex,

If you're reading this, you must be in dire need of a change.

"I Quit!" Silvex said as he grabbed his stuff, and left his office cube. SOme of his officials were trying to get him to stay.

"I don't belong here! I know where I belong now, and it's not a place where i'm going to wither away into dust!"

The same thing happened to me, long ago. I'd lost sight of what mattered most in life… Real connections with other people and nature. So I dropped Everything and moved to the place I truly belong.

"Silvex dear, what's wrong?" His mother said as the blonde entered the house.

"I quit my job," Silvex replied.

"Why?"

"I opened Grandpa's letter," Silvex said as he went into his room and began to pack.

"What did it say?" His mother asked.

I've enclosed the deed to that place, MY pride and joy: SilverStar Farm. It's located in Stardew Valley, on the southern coast. IT's the perfect place to start your new life.

"Silvy, are you sure you can run a farm by yourself? It's not exactly easy work," His mother said as Silvex finished packing the last of his things.

"Mom, I'm tired of living a life like this. YOu know I appreciate all that you do, but it's not enough, I want a change, I want something else besides a life in the city." Silvex said as he walked out of the house with his luggage.

This was my most precious gift of all, and now it's yours. I know you'll honor the family name, my boy. Good luck.

"PRomise me you'll write?" His mother said as the bus pulled up.

"I will mother," Silvex said, and after helping the bus driver pack his things into the luggage compartment, he hugged his mother, who kissed him on the cheek, and with a tear streaking down her face, waved goodbye as the bus drove out of sight.

Love, Grandpa'

Silvex looked out the window, as the city grew smaller n the distance. He had high hopes his life was going to be better now. He felt himself shed a tear as he remembered why he was doing this.

'Thank you, Grandfather,' Silvex smiled as he looked up at the sky.

I would like to thank FandomRose and MarchingBandsOfManhattan for inspiration to write a Stardew Valley story of my own. I will be alternating on updates between this and Real Love, Mechanical Hearts, my Five Nights at Freddy's fanfic.

Bonus points to the first person who can guess where i got inspiration for the Intro from.
