You exist as a sentient consciousness bound to an unmoving form, a rock, on a desolate mountain plateau. Your world is one of sensation, but without the means to interact. A mysterious game-like system overlays your perception, offering the faint hope of growth and eventually, freedom, in a land teeming with monstrous creatures, ancient demons, and fractured human societies. How you came to be in this state is a mystery, but the urge to understand and to evolve burns within you, a silent scream against the unyielding stone.
