Kivas Chariot was struck by the sun, resulting in an unrecoverable corruption within his soul.



With no Worlds willing to take him, he became a Disgraced, barred from entering the cycle of reincarnation and doomed to be crippled as he repeated his next beginnings in Ad Infinitum.



However, through a fateful encounter with the Deity of Exploration, he got reborn as an Amalgam. A weird looking tadpole-shaped blob with three arms, with one of them holding the Torch of Blight.



He couldn't see, hear, touch, nor perceive anything beyond the illumination of his flickering eternal torch.



Fortunately for him, the Deity of Exploration decided to grace this torch of his with random selectable upgrades for every discovery milestone that he reached.



The catch was,



Death would reset all of it to zero.



"If I get a nickel every time I spawn somewhere that will result in my death almost immediately, I would have five. Which isn't much, but I'm sick of it reoccurring!"



T'was the beginning of an atrocious and painful Era of Roguelike Exploration.
