It opens with a small boy hastily running through a dense snow laden forest, wolves snarling at his heels. He’s clutching his shoulder with one hand, which has a nasty tear torn into it, a bloodied sword in the other. Who could have guessed things would turn sour this quickly, though it’s what he wanted, right, the break the monotony of his boring home life.

He runs for what must be miles, praying the wolves get bored, but they’re starving and, therefore, persistent, so they’re not about to give up on a meal.

A knotted root eventually trips him up, and he falls, the ground beneath him crumbling and sending him straight into the ‘center’ of the world, also known as the Abyss.

He’s not sure how long he’s out for, but as he comes to he’s face to face with a terrifying creature. He frantically swipes at the creature, blinding it, as he scrambles to his feet and starts running… again. He barely has any time to consider the strange dark and oppressing atmosphere. It’s something to think on later. For now, he’s just got to focus on staying alive.

It comes to and end the moment he encounters another beast, this one howling in his face and raising its claws to strike him.
