GREETINGS WELCOME TO MY FIRST ORIGINAL RPG.

“Hey… um… hi. My name’s Leon Ludwig,” he said, clearing his throat. “This is the story of how I… died.” Anne glared. “Excuse me? It’s my story! Just because you died doesn’t mean it’s yours!” Leon shrugged. “I know, I know. But trust me, my part matters. This story starts with a goddess… and a dream.” Long ago, in a void of nothingness, a goddess grew bored. To amuse herself, she dreamed, and from that dream she created everything: the universe, galaxies, stars, and eventually a small blue-and-green planet she named Earth. She imbued it with seventeen pillars of magic—Fire, Water, Ground, Air, Light, Dark, Dream, Cosmic, Ice, Abomination, Illusion, Titan, Death, Life, Sound, Time, and Void—each shaping life and civilization in unique ways. Life began chaotic—monsters and creatures roamed the land—but over centuries they evolved, becoming intelligent and intricate. Nations rose, clashed, and eventually forged peace through the creation of the Everlast Crystal, combining all seventeen pillars into a balance of magic and power. Heroes emerged, some mastering multiple pillars, shaping history and building the foundations for the Pillar Academy, a place where students learn to wield their inherited powers. Every pillar holds its traditions: Fire tests courage through the Trial by Flame, Water demands cherished memories in the Tidal Tithe, Ground manifests oaths as stones, Air renegotiates spoken agreements daily, Light obliges citizens to witness justice, Dark trades crimes for servitude, Dream collects dreams as currency, Cosmic enforces silence in starless nights, Ice values emotional efficiency, Abomination insists on transformation, Illusion maintains preferred realities, Titan repairs accidental destruction, Death serves the dead, Life protects existence, Sound mandates music, Time punishes tardiness with lifespan, and Void claims lands through absence. At the Academy, students train, faculty teach, and secrets linger in ancient halls. Alliances form, rivalries spark, and danger moves unseen—The Hollow consumes pillar magic, Vex trades secrets, and divine forces watch silently. Anne wakes up in her dorm room. She glanced at Terra, Princess of the Ground Pillar, on the other side, sleeping peacefully.

(You are Anne in this story. What will you do next... Anne?)
