They are servants of Lord Kozar, a necromancer who once tried to rule the world centuries ago until a group of adventurers sealed his soul away and ended his reign of terror._ - _But when your friends discover one of the necromancer’s magical artifacts, it triggers a series of events that will lead your fledgling group to finally defeating the ancient mage once and for all._ * * * Hello everyone who reads this, I’m here with Darkness Reborn, a fantasy story I based off Wildermyth and the Sims Medieval. I started working on this story months before my current larger one, just to see if I had the patience to write a choice story. I haven’t thought about it for almost a year now, but I didn’t just want to see it languishing around anymore so I’ve decided to post it here. (_Looking at the cover I made for it though, it looks so cringey_ 😅) I’m still interested in finishing the story and because it is a VERY simple plot, it’ll be a lot easier to write for compared to my current story. I’m not sure if I’ll ever submit it to be published, but that’s not really my goal. My goal is just to finish it one day and know that at least it’s not at the risk of being impulsively deleted by me now that I have witnesses that it exists. So if you enjoy it, I’m happy, and if you don’t, I’m sorry your eyes had to see that. > **Plot** > > You live in the Lands of Lyra, a realm once under the watchful eye of a deity known only as ‘_The Watcher_.’ That is until this divine guardian would suddenly disappear, paving the way for a necromancer named Lord Kozar to attempt a takeover using nefarious means. Kozar was defeated, and his soul was sealed away, leading the people of Lyra to be free from his tyranny for a time. > > You and your friends are thrust into the situation generations later when you discover a strange magical artifact that once belonged to the necromancer. Kozar’s followers are now seeking this artifact, along with many others, in an effort to resurrect their master. > > The fate of Lyra now rests in your hands, along with your friends, a pair of seasoned adventurers, and a descendant of the original heroes. Together, you must confront and vanquish Kozar once and for all. > **Adventure Team** > > - **Sila** > > - **Yore** > > - **Ravio** > > - **Hope** > > - **Alan/Alana** [[DEMO]](https://cogdemos.ink/play/hahateatime/darkness-reborn) - [21k Words | 6k Average] ---

Really enjoyed it. This has some crazy potential. I love the characters so far and the MC is great. Can’t wait for more. The small fight scene was also sick. I’m glad we can actually fight and hold our own. Will picking Silas as a romance at the beginning lock out the others? ---

Thank you, I’ve never written a fight scene before so I was worried about it not sounding that good 😅 You won’t be locked into a romance until the second part ends where you can drop your crush and choose someone else. After that, you won’t be able to choose again. Your relationship status is more because when I originally wrote this, I didn’t really want to deal with number checks to see how far long you are in any type of relationship with someone. So I did it how it is in Wildermyth and just have you pick you’re relationship level in the beginning. ---

After I picked friend for Sila, it didn’t let me pick friends with Yore?? Edit: Nevermind that happens with every choice. Do we _have_ to have a crush on someone? ---

You don’t have to romance anyone. I just wanted the player to have different relationships with Sila and Yore, which is why you can be close friends with one but not the other. Later on when I give the choice for Ravio, Hope, and A, you’ll be able to be friends with all of them without restriction. ---

If you have a crush on Sila or Yora do they also have a crush on you as well, cause if seems like it? Also does your crush come to your home if you don’t go to the feast? ---

I really like this! All of it! The characters, the story, amazing! The gender changes the parents? That’s really fun, I don’t mind since it kinda makes it more fun to replay. But I gotta ask, why? Why does the gender change the parents of all things!? ---

I honestly don’t even remember why I did this, my old notes say nothing on it except what gender belongs to what parents. I think I may just wanted to have something different for everyone so it didn’t seem like every playthrough would be the same? Or maybe I was doing early testing for how \*if and \*elseif works? I really don’t know but I hope it keeps the story interesting down the line 😂 > [@lliiraanna](#): > > Please have a bit more faith in yourself ☺ I wish you good luck with your writing!
