Harper was making an ambitiously expansive game, a new type of game with more options than the basic hack-and-slash, where exploration and cleverness were a legitimate course of action, not an extra-hard mode. But he died before he could complete his project. Only to be reborn in that world, as a normal person. Now he is in the world that he created and realizes that he knows things no one else knows, secrets only he knows. Harper sets off to find some of these secrets, wanting to make sure that he has the power to ensure that his world remains pure, that no one will have the power to ruin it like other games. And if the only way to do that is for him to get himself enough magic and mystical artifacts that he can determine the future of the world, then so be it. It wouldn’t be conquest if it was for a good cause. Right?

A World of My Own Making

In the center of the maze there is a small pedestal with a series of levers on it. Its basically a tic-tac-toe board, and you have to pull six levers without ever winning the game. If you complete one line of three in a row, it opens up the large sarcophagus and unleashes the monster within it. If you pull six levers without that happening, the door to the second half of the maze opens.


Are you sure you want the fight? I ask, looking at the puzzle. It wont be easy, and Im not sure what level its meant for. It could be something way beyond any of us.


So we can either fight something that might kill us, or we can run away? Daniel asks. I know what my vote is for.


The monster will come from the tomb right here, yes? Petra asks. She already has her sword ready. If we know that its coming, and when its coming, we have a rather large advantage, yes? Regardless of level difference.
