Karl Knave's Tetralogy

Prologue

12 years it has been, but it feels like only yesterday.

I lost my home, I lost my family and friends, I lost everything except the clothes on my back.

I escaped those wretched children who destroyed my beautiful Karlsville, burned it to ashes, to dust, and although I escaped, now I'm the last one, all alone. But I would not give up my plans for a strong community. I still had a few magic tricks up my sleeve.

So I set to work, trying to figure out how I could take the scale of Karlsville and make it bigger and better than ever before! Reading through some books left lying about at a library, I discovered my answer: I would undertake the construction of a grand railway, linking not just towns, but country sides, cities, military bases, suburbs, mines (with a new attraction: Karlsbad Kaverns!), monuments of me, every building ever thought of, I will construct. Using my demon slaves for all the manual labor while I handled the *ahem* business side of things with Karl Co. Enterprises, and so I waited. The railway will by my lasting legacy to the world, all who utter its name will tremble in fear, fear of Karlsilvania!

True I may have let my guard down before, but I've learned from the mistakes I made. Now I won't turn people into plastic anymore. That was mere child's play, in my own personal opinion. I'm going to do bigger and better things, soon those pathetic humans will suffer in ways they can never imagine!

Now my new railway country is prospering, but there is always a need for new residents. The job availability is high, we pay you well, and we always bring out the best in people. So what are you waiting for?
