  • Our story starts in a small town in a world known as Totalfreedom. This town was one of many towns in that world and like every other town everyday felt like it was the same. This specific town was named Qadar Town. Qadar Town was a peaceful place with lot's of greenery and a nice town square with a fountain which had a statue of a frog in the middle of it with water coming out of it's mouth. Around 250 people lived in Qadar Town and one of those people was a resident named Excellentgamer1. He was a resident who did the same as most other people in the world of Totalfreedom as the residents would wake up in the morning and then go out and build in order to expand the town and give it new facilities. One of the older things in Qadar Town was the towns cathedral. The cathedral stood tall in the town square and was the first thing most of the people would see when they walked into the town square. Excellentgamer1 or Excel for short had been inside the cathedral once before and noticed how it seemed very empty inside and very quiet. There was alot of space inside the cathedral and also a oddly placed bookshelf that had ancient looking books on it. Excel got ready and then left his house to go and continue work on the new facility that was getting built in Qadar which was a supermarket which was going to be the cheapest one in Qadar. Once Excel arrived he couldn't help but notice that the construction site was located next to a forest that he had never been into before. he could not see into it as there was alot of trees that were casting shade onto the entrance. Excel then remembered that he had to go and continue on the supermarket so into the building site he went. About 8 hours later Excel emerged from the construction site warned out after a hard day building. As he was leaving the site he walked past the entrance to the forest and decided he would go and take a look and see what was in the forest. As he entered the forest he noticed that the trees looked like they had faces and there was alot of crows chirping along with other birds and various other animals "This is peaceful but also a little bit creepy" he said to himself as he continued down the stone pathway that was in the forest. Eventually all he saw was a giant mountain in front of him "Well i assume that's going to be a dead end" he said as he continued on towards the mountain. Eventually he noticed that a entrance to a cave started to come into view. Curious as to what was inside the cave. Excel decided he would go in and have a look not realizing what was inside would change his life forever. As excel slowly made his way through the dark and mysterious cave he began to wonder how no one had ever spoken of the cave before. Suddenly excel stopped as he noticed that there was a steep drop in front of him. Luckily he noticed there was a rock formation to the left which looked like a set of stairs so he decided to go down to see what was at the bottom. Suddenly a sense of unease came over him as he noticed he was in what looked like a cavern which had water flowing into it from a underground stream. Excel started to look around the cavern and eventually came across a rock with ancient text on it that he could not read. Above the text he saw 7 crystals that looked like they had been there for a long time. As he was looking at the crystals a few rocks stacked on top of each other caught his attention. Turning back to the crystals Excel decided he wanted to pick one up and have a closer look at one. Excel noticed all the crystals were different colours and he decided to pick up one which was white and yellow. Around 3 seconds after Excel picked up the crystal he felt the ground shaking as 5 of the other crystals started to levitate and then they suddenly flew away at a very fast speed in the direction of the caves exit. "Woah" Excel said as he looked back only to see that 1 crystal was still in it's place. Then suddenly the one remaining crystal started to levitate and flew to where the stack of stones was. Meanwhile the ground started to shake again so Excel decided it was time to leave the cave. As excel started to run to the caves exit he looked behind him to see that a shadowy figure was now standing in the place where the stack of stones were. Then suddenly the shadowy figure sent a dark orb flying in the direction of Excel and as the orb came into contact with him a sudden flash of light appeared. Meanwhile back in the town. Another person rose from his bed only to realize he had overslept.
