Ryik
An Immaterial Phantasm Adrift Amidst Annihilation
I've made a new RP heavily inspired by various RPGs and a couple of anime. I wanted to show it exists somewhere since it doesn't show up in the thread directory normally since it hasn't begun.
Anyway, here's the IC RP tab:
I'm a tad new to making RPs on RPNation, so I apologize if I'm doing this wrong.
Anyway, here's the IC RP tab:
Casual - The Dungeon of OrnesseRyik said:It just appeared one day.
Without any warning, it crept out of a cave on the edge of the town of Ornesse. It spread like a poison, blighting the land and filling it with death and destruction. The gods from far and wide came together to stop it, and it was handily shoved back into the cave from whence it came, restricted from ever spreading any further.
Simply known as the dungeon, it produced monsters in its depths endlessly. If one were to fall, it would just spawn again hours later. So deep as to seem unending, it was a curious place, and naturally, expedition was in order. Unfortunately, the dungeon harbored great ill will against the gods that sealed it. Monsters of absurdly higher strength than usual would appear from nowhere the moment their power was revealed. Practically unstoppable, it would force even them out of the dungeon. It was up to the servants of those gods to explore the dungeon’s depths. The problem with that was that an ordinary human wouldn’t last long in the dungeon. To aid them on their quest, gods granted them a blessing; the power to fight these monsters. Applied in the form of the god’s insignia, it allows their capabilities to tangibly grow with use. Strength, Endurance, Dexterity, Agility, Magic. By updating the status on their insignia, practicing something enough allows them to strengthen beyond normal human limits. With it, they were able to brave the dungeon, and found two mysterious details:
Every time a monster is slain, the body disintegrates, leaving behind only a magic stone and, occasionally, drop items. Magic stones are the cores of monsters, and possess a magical power within them that can be used for things such as lighting, water purification, cooking stoves, refrigerators, and other things. Should a magic stone break while in a monster, the monster immediately dies. Drop Items are items that can sometimes remain along with the Magic Stone after a monster dies. They are parts of the dead monster that are often useful for the creation of weapons, armor and items.
The second detail is that every so often, parties would come across a human in the middle of the dungeon, usually unconscious, and almost always wearing strange clothing. Every time, without exception, they never remember how they got there. A fair amount of them don’t even remember their past, but every last one of them claim that the world they came from was unlike this one.
It didn’t take long for magic stones to bring about an industrial revolution. As with any sudden advancement in technology, there was a great deal of money to be made, and it all hinged on the gods. The gods could have just remained in their shrines and temples, gathering faith and hoping for donations to keep the place running. This was not the popular choice. The devastated town of Ornesse was all at once the center of the world. A guild system was established and just about every god wanted to create one of their own. Anyone who wanted to become an adventurer would join a guild, become blessed by their god, and explore the dungeon in their name. As they slayed monsters they would bring back the magic stones and hand it to over to the guild association in exchange for gold. (G) A portion of this gold would go towards the god, who would use it to house its members and/or provide other benefits, and they would keep the rest. The adventurers would get their statistics updated by the god they serve that they may travel deeper and get larger magic stones, making more money. Through the entire process the gods would be actively gaining faith and worship, and the economy world-wide blossoms as a result.
As for those mysterious humans dropped into this world, one thing is clear: Answers won’t be found outside of the dungeon.
