Chapter 1: Awakening
Chapter 1: From Shadows to Fire
The day began like any other in the bleak existence I had grown accustomed to. I would wake up to the sound of a relentless alarm, drag myself to a job that barely paid enough to cover the insatiable appetite of the loan sharks lurking in the corners of my life. Five dollars less than a meal was all that remained after their greedy hands had taken their cut. Survival had become a cruel joke, and I was the punchline.
Yet, the weight of my mundane struggles was nothing compared to the strangeness that enveloped me now. I opened my eyes, only to find myself in an unsettling void. I couldn't remember my name, my face, or even how long I had been confined to this darkness. Time lost all meaning as I sat in silence, unable to sleep, unable to feel hunger, as if I had become a wraith in a world devoid of sensation.
Then, just as the shadows threatened to swallow me whole, a flicker of light pierced through the suffocating blackness. It beckoned me, and against my better judgment, I felt myself drawn toward it, as if the very essence of this world was pulling me forth. I crawled, clawing my way through the ground, until finally, I emerged into the blinding brilliance.
What greeted me was a landscape of chaos lava flowed like rivers of wrath, and grotesque, brown goblin-like creatures scuttled about, their voices a cacophony of unintelligible sounds. They chattered excitedly, but the noise overwhelmed me, a storm of confusion in my mind. It took a moment, but I eventually deciphered one word amidst the chaos: "Overlord."
These creatures, seemingly simple and brutish, were unlike anything I had ever seen. They looked at me with a mixture of reverence and desperation, and I felt an unexplainable urge to follow them. Perhaps it was the promise of understanding, or perhaps it was the need for clothing my tattered remnants of existence were no armor in this fiery realm.
As we traversed valleys that spoke of forgotten glory, I began to feel a sense of purpose, a flicker of recognition buried deep within my lost soul. Eventually, we arrived at a castle, its once-majestic structure now crumbling and shrouded in ash. The goblins led me through a labyrinth of corridors, their rough hands guiding me past shadows of what had been.
Finally, we reached the throne room, a vast chamber filled with echoes of power long faded. There, beside a throne draped in tattered silks, stood a gray goblin with an air of authority, his eyes gleaming with knowledge. "Sire," he intoned, bowing deeply, "we've been waiting for you for over a century, give or take a few millennia. The point is, you've arrived. But first, let us get you some clothes."
I followed him, still reeling from the abruptness of my arrival in this strange world. As we entered a dressing room, my gaze fell upon a mirror. What I saw there sent a shiver through my being. The reflection was not of a man, but of a being wreathed in darkness a figure with blazing purple flames where eyes should be. It felt as if I were staring into the abyss, and the abyss was staring back.
As I examined my form, it became clear that I was no longer human. My skin gleamed like diamond, cool and unyielding, devoid of pulse or heartbeat. Instead, a soft, melodic hum resonated within my chest, a rhythm I couldn't quite grasp. It was as if I were a vessel for something ancient and powerful.
The gray goblin cleared his throat, interrupting my spiraling thoughts. "This was once the attire of the first Overlord. Try it on," he urged, presenting a suit that shimmered with an otherworldly light.
Without fully understanding why, I nodded and donned the garments. Miraculously, they conformed to my form, as if woven from the very fabric of magic itself. The moment I wore them, I felt a surge of strength and authority coursing through me, awakening something deep within that had long been dormant.
"Now, we must talk," I said, my voice steady despite the chaos swirling in my mind. "Tell me who you are, where I am, and what has happened to me."
The gray goblin straightened, his demeanor shifting from servitude to one of solemnity. "You are in the underworld realm, once a kingdom of great might, now a land of shadows and despair. You are the Overlord, the one destined to reclaim what was lost, to unite the fragmented realms, and rule all!!
