Maple Story Fanfic: Phoenix Ignited

Prologue

Hey there. My name is Schimmel, but most people just call me Schim. I'm writing this book, with alot of help from my friend Nemo, from the fantastic world of Maple. From the grassy plains of Henesys all the way to the Snowy Cliffs of El Nath, this place is swarming with magic. And monsters. The monsters aren't too big a deal though, at least not anymore. They're the reason that the guilds exist. In this world, the population of the monsters are taken control of by these guilds, though not exterminated completely, as we need them around too. It's complicated. Just keep reading.

Back to the point, this book has been created by Nemo and myself for the purpose of documenting the activities of the Phoenix Ignited guild and their actions during what is now called the Dark Era, as our actions were shrouded in much mystery and doubt, not without good reason. We apologize for not having this done sooner, but during the writing of this we only have access to some pencils, erasers, and lots of paper.

The Dark Era, now defined as the years from 1313 until 1331, was named such due to a sudden outbreak of strange monsters that seemed to stem from the heart of Ludibrium. Guilds were sent to investigate, but often they wouldn't return. The few who did come back alive told all different stories, but none were believed as they were thought to be insane. The Dark Era has now ended at last, and now Nemo and I have a story to tell.
