Chapter 1: Prologue
I welcome the presence of all that arrive here, but all receive the same warning.
Should your being be unfit to withstand the power of this land, you will find yourself soon falling into endless depravity, never able to escape from anything again. In essence, you would be with death.
Three young heroes, from three different points in time…have come to such a cruel place.
But it is crueler that to arrive in this land, they gave up everything they had.
They, who held a burden with the weight of the world—they soon sought this place of illusions.
For what do they seek to accomplish by coming here? To hide with cowardice? To escape into deception? To smile at delusions of joy?
For these young souls, who should not be blamed to have been reluctantly tasked with great burdens, I give them all a second chance. Another opportunity to find true meaning in their lives once more, else let them meet eternal nothingness: their second desire.
I cannot say I wish to meet these young heroes with my own eyes. But perhaps, they may be the first ones to see through this land's curse…or perhaps not.
Will they finally be my salvation?
Only intangible time in this world will tell.
