The Mystical World

Hi! I’m Darwin. You might be wondering why my name is an Australian city. No specific reason. My parents thought being named after a place is cool. So do I. Anyways, this is the story of something that happened to me a few days ago.

I was a going for a walk. The sun was about to set and the streets were almost depeopled. As I was walking down the road, I saw a sight never seen before. A Pegasus was merrily galloping on the road. When I saw it, I asked the handful of people about the Pegasus. They said that a Pegasus is a mythical creature and does not exist. No sooner that I heard that, the Pegasus came near me and we teleported to the magical land of A Mystical World, the popular game. There it told me everything. It said that it was only visible to the people who believed in magic. It said that A Mystical World was in danger as a group of monsters, the Knight Riders had taken over. They were sending monsters made out of wood, metal and other deadly materials and who knows whatnot. The Pegasus asked me to save him and everyone that magical world of his.

I hesitated at first, but then I agreed. In the blink of an eye, I was transformed into an Elf. I was told that A Mystical World was a game, but it was real. Then, out of nowhere, monsters called Ghiledius spawned. But I was not scared. I had to play it like an actual game. I chose to become a warrior, one of the best classes in the game. Then I was ready to attack them. Fighting them was an easy feat, I mean after all, they were only level one creatures. After killing them, I talked to the people of Root and made a friend named Panner, merely the size of a ten year old. Then I defeated another group of monsters, the Gate Guardians. They were called so because they guarded special gates. If you defeated five of them, you would get the finest of jewellery, armour, food and the best Pegasus. After that, I completed quests and finally got to ride the Pegasus through a portal to Valka, the land of warriors.

 I had journeyed there because I wanted to fight against the Knight Riders and reduce them to ashes. In Valka I got to know that there was a mole on our side who was helping the Knight Riders. But the problem was that we didn’t know who the traitor was. After talking to many people, I traded gold and copper for healing potions and scrolls to give me powerups and boosts when required. The following day, I went to the Camp of The Elite to fight against the Riders. But, we had a new challenge, the Vampires. I had to kill different kinds of Vampires. They had a dirty green color, dirty teeth and a nasty look. Even the vampire had ranks. First the soldiers, then the guardian, and then their saber tooth tigers . It took 10 to 15 minutes, but they were easy to defeat. But then, the real deal, the Bosses of the Netherworld came to the Vampire’s help. But alas! I was defeated by them. I was then revived again at the camp, and went to defeat them again. This time I was successful. From then on, I was determined, that I had to defeat all the enemies and be the victor.

After defeating the Vampires, saber tooth tigers and the Bosses, it was dark. Night had fallen So, I found an inn nearby, and paid a few coins so that I could get a bed. But that night, I couldn’t sleep. I was thinking about how I got defeated. So, I got out of bed, checked out of the inn, and continued my journey in the dark. When I got out, I looked in the map, and saw that I had to go to a small village called Vernin Village. Going to the village was not an easy feat since the road between the inn and the village was one of the most dangerous routes in the game. Many people in the game had died there. I was determined to cross that path and continue my journey. As I started my journey, I saw various people telling me not to go. I was surprised due to the fact that so many people were out at night. It took me a total of fifteen days to get there. I fought off so many creatures that you could fill it all in the Son Doong Cave. Upon reaching the village, I saw something. Something not good. The entire village was in ruins. The building, the ruler’s castle, hospitals, every single thing. I continued my journey and saw many people who were starving, crying, people grieving over their loved ones who were in ashes. I continued till I reached the castle. There, the ruler was. Badly injured, but alive. Upon inquiring what had happened, he said that the Riders had striked. He asked me my name. “Garadon”, said I. “You… you are the chosen one”.

No sooner did he say that, I fell to the ground. I started having weird thoughts. Thoughts about saving the world, thoughts about being crowned the ruler. I woke up from my state of unconsciousness in an instant. The king told me that there was a prophecy that stated that a man from another realm (being the human world) would be their saviour. I immediately agreed to help them. He told me to head to Pormantle Dungeons. He told me that he suspected that some of the Riders’ associates might have their camps there.

Determined to free the world from eternal destruction, I headed towards the dungeon immediately. But the second I set foot outside the castle, the need for going to the dungeon wasn’t necessary. As the Riders were outside, and I, was surrounded.
