Your esteemed master, Elkin Woods, the greatest of the swordmasters has died following a tragic case of skill issue, catapulting you to go on a daring quest to avenge him!
Just one problem… You have no skill, and this cursed vambrace latched to your arm is speedrunning you to a swift demise! Oh my!
|What’s it about?|
A 100% typical revenge story set in a 100% typical fantasy setting. A piece of work that becomes (much like my sanity as I’m coding this game) progressively more deranged as time goes on.
There used to be three of us, now, I am alone. All alone with spaghetti code. Crying. Silently.
|About my writing|
I have a tendency to describe scenes swiftly in a very abstract manner, focusing less on visual descriptions and more on vivid sensations in my storytelling.
I also have a tendency to put terrible puns here and there. So be warned.
|The World and Scope|
The world is set in a post-apocalyptic fantasy setting. The same that can be found in my first attempt of an IF, i.e Runeward.
Unlike my first IF though, the scope is much smaller, focusing on a very small spot in the world, the City of Rubold, a city like any other.
|What you should expect?|
It can be absurd, it can be horrific, it can also sometimes be quite wholesome.
One thing is certain, there will be exploration!
