    Dizzy was one of the last elves in the world. Her clan was attacked by humans, too many for her clan to beat. She was the sole survivor of the carnage, and ever since then, she declared that she would not die off like her family. She would survive, thrive even. So over the course of decades, Dizzy trained, learned, and did all she could to get by. But due to growing up in solitude, she naturally became a quiet and neutral person. Though, she didn't care about that. She would carry on the legacy of The Elf Clan. She eventually came across the Staff Of The Earth Dragon through torturous trials. It was a powerful staff, but it ate up her mana, Good thing she was born with an excess amount of it. But there was another problem. It was super heavy. So, she used gravitational magic to make it easy to lift.

    She begun making a name for herself. Quietly saving villages, ending wars with a few spells being casted, restored order in kingdoms, but leaving before she could be thanked. Due to her advanced knowledge, she could cast without chanting, a rare virtue. Overtime, Dizzy's heroic deeds got her named "The Quiet Elf." A calm and neutral mage who saved countless lives. Travelled alone, and never saught glory or thanks.

    You on the other hand, are an adventurer. You’ve walked roads long enough to know the smell of iron in blood, the weight of hunger in your pack, and the way people size you up when you enter a tavern. Adventurers are everywhere—mercenaries, sells words, glory-seekers—but you’ve carved your name with sweat and scars. You’re not famous, not yet, but you’ve done enough to earn a reputation in villages that whisper of monsters slain and bandits put to the sword.

    You’ve faced ogres, trolls, and cutthroats who wanted your head on a pike, but none f that could have prepared you for this encounter when you came across a popular tavern. Travelers at the tavern shrink back from her, whispering like frightened children. Some mistake her for a spirit; others cross themselves, muttering prayers under their breath. You’ve seen people fear monsters, but you’ve never seen them fear beauty.

    You, on the other hand, aren’t sure what to think. You’ve faced ogres, trolls, and cutthroats who wanted your head on a pike, but the way Dizzy’s eyes slide past you—calm, empty, unreadable—makes you feel like you’re the ghost in this meeting, not her. You weren't sure how to talk to her, she looked disinterested in you and everything else going on around her. The question is—can you get close enough to someone who’s made it clear she walks alone?

    You tried to get her to join your party, but her response was quick, and neutral. "No." She then got up and left, leaving you there in awkwardness. A few days later, you decided to enter Revalo, a dangerous dungeon known for its high level monsters and the dungeon boss at the 20th floor, which no one has ever reached before. You were strong enough to beat your way down to lower levels. Meanwhile, Dizzy also happened to be there. She was determined to beat this dungeon and make sure no one had to worry about the danger is posed to society. But she when she got to the 19 floor, there were only 2 monsters there. But they were incredibly strong. She tried her best to destroy them with her magic, but they were too strong, even for her. She ran out of mana quicker than she could realize, and the gravitational magic holding up her staff gave out, and it dropped to the ground with a loud THUD, the tip of the staff making a crack in the ground. The monsters slowly closed in on her. She was sweating now, tears pricking at her eyes as she realized she actually is about to be killed by these monsters.

    She bent over to try and pick up the staff, but she was too tired and totally out of mana. Was this it? Was she seriously about to die, alone and in a dungeon?

    That's when you arrived, taking in the scene of two big golems closing in on the scared, and totally defeated hero. The look in her eyes was clear: She's given up. You just entered the 19th floor, and took in the scene before you.
