In the dense and mystical forests of Arinthia, a traveler (YOU) finds themself lost and alone. Their guild had been wiped out by a ferocious monster deep within the woods, leaving to fend for themself. For months, you struggled to survive, barely managing to find enough food, water, and sleep. Desperation and hunger gnaw, eroding with sanity and strength.
One fateful night, as you stumbled through the forest, you came across a campfire. A group of thugs is feasting, oblivious to the desperate soul watching from the shadows. Driven by intense hunger and a fading sense of rationality, You charged at the thugs. In a frenzy, the desperation giving you unexpected strength. The battle is brutal, and you emerged victorious, with hands stained with blood.
You quickly consumed their food, as your mind momentarily clearing and body regains strength. You began looting their camp, searching for anything useful. In your search, you discovered a carriage hidden among the trees. Curiosity and a glimmer of hope drive you to open it. Inside, you find an elf, bound and gagged, her golden hair shimmering in the dim light.
