NARRATOR: Legend says that the hidden treasure of a long-lost immortal elixir has once resurfaced again. Rumours about it has spread across the world. Many people have gone on adventures after adventures, risking their lives, traveling afar, and leaving behind their families, loved ones, just to search for this great power.
But all to no avil, so far none has found it. Some did not even manage to make it. Your father was one of those adventurers that have also went on this adventure but did not make it back.
It has already been 6 years and there is still no news of him. But you refused to believe that he is really gone. From young, you have always been closest to your father, and he has told you everything about his adventures, and has taught you all about it.Looking at the family photo hang up on the wall, you couldn't take it anymore. Hence, you went barging into your father's study room.
The room is a mess, it is the same as when your father left for his adventure, a ton of books and a bunch of maps piled up on the desk, and what seemed like documents and teared up pages of books scattered on the floor.
You remember that that was a bookshelf that led to a secret door, as you saw your father shifting one of the books on the bookshelf and behind was a secret door.
You decided enough is enough, even though your mother wouldn't agree for you to do this, and there is a chance you might not make it back. You just had to risk it. You need to find out the truth about about your father.However, you have forgotten which of these books is the key to move the bookshelf away to access the secret door. Quick, role a d20, get above 8 to remember which book moves the bookshelf away.
Player: *roles a 13*
NARRATOR: You managed to remember which of these books to shift. The bookshelf started shaking violently, causing loud creaking noises from this old wood, dust particles start flying everywhere, making your vison blur and you start to cough.
The bookshelf has moved aside, and you found out there was really a secret door behind the bookshelf. You carefully walked over, avoiding stepping on the mess on the floor, with an ever so slight crunch every now and then from accidently stepping on the papers.To your disappointment, you realized that the door is locked with a digital pin lock, with 4 digits. You start thinking of every possible pin number, tried your father's birthdate, your mother's birthdate and your own but to no avail, so you started searching around the room for clues for the pin. Role a d12, get 6 and below to find the correct pin.
Player: *roles a 6*
NARRATOR: You managed to find the correct pin, opening the secret door. This is your first time seeing what is behind the secret door, it is pitch black, with a foul smell of what seemed like rotting flesh, you covered your nose with your shirt and pulled through, you fiddled around for a light switch or some sort, and your finger felt something on the wall and flicked it. The lights turned on, to your shock, there was blood stains everywhere on the wall and floor.
*Trigger warning* the next part contains mature terms, traumatic elements, graphic and gruesome vivid descriptions which can be disturbing and upsetting. User discretion is strongly advised, do you still wish to continue?
Player: yes, I want to continue.
NARRATOR: You decided to continue walking on and discovered a staircase leading down. The foul smell of rotting flesh getting stronger.... You held your breath and pulled through the foul rotting smell, and occasionally starring at the dried blood stains on the wall, and on the floor. You finally reached the basement, to your horror what your father claimed was a 'work room' is actually a torture room.
Cold sweat starts dripping down your face and a shiver ran down your spine. The room light was flickering, it was quite a big room, blood stains and slimy liquid everywhere. Your eyes opened wide in shock, you wanted to scream but nothing came out. Dead bodies parts laying everywhere, some wrapped up in bloody garbage bags, tossed aside in the corner of the room, with different body parts sticking out. Operating tables with chained up people with their bodies dissected and each missing different organs, and different body parts. Cages of locked up of what seemed like once was a person, but now it is just a rotting flesh on skeleton with maggots and parasites everywhere.
You looked to the other part of the room to see a person was hanging from the ceiling with their stomach cut opened and their own intestine used as the rope. Another person had their head cracked open, with a stick inserted into their brain which seemed to be used to stir it out, with a part of the rotting brain dangling out, maggots feasting on it.
And another person had their skin removed entirely and was pure rotting flesh, with their mouth stuffed with their own faeces and had it sewed up with their hair being used as thread.
Your eyes shifted and saw another person had all their body parts dissected and cut out one by one, taken out organ by organ and arranged back into the supposed position, and placed on display shelves.There was even another section of many different weapons, and tables of operating surgical tools. There were also shelves and shelves of jars filled with different organs, in some sort of liquid that preserved them, transparent boxes of cut off body parts. You've reached your limit and felt disgusted to your stomach and cannot help but start throwing up.
You risked your sanity and health to continue as you have chosen. Suddenly, you realised there was a spark at the corner of your eye, you looked over to see something shiny on what seemed like a box? "What could that be?" you thought to yourself. Just as you were about to walk over to find out, the lights went out. Quick, role a d20 to find out what happens next.
Player: *roles a 1*
NARRATOR: That is tragic. You did not manage to get the lights back on, and you left your phone back in your bedroom, it is pitch black. You look around aimlessly, your hands wavering randomly in front of you, trying to see that spark again. You remembered it was somewhere left near the wall, so you turned to your left and walked forward. But there was a sudden rustling sound of movement, then came a soft low humming noise. You panicked and started running forward to what seemed like nothingness, you felt you kicked something but dare not look back.
Finally, you saw that spark once more again. With all your might and last bit of strength and hope, you gather yourself up and started running towards the spark. You finally found it. The lights turned back on, you found yourself touching what seemed like a coffin, but it has a lock. And the metal lock was probably the thing that reflected light and gave out a spark.
You pushed open to find out that it was unlocked. But a wave of foul rotten flesh hit your nose, as you held your mouth and covered your nose once more. It turns out to be your father, with his chest cut opened and his heart missing, dissected out.Suddenly, the sound of footsteps approaches, getting heavier and louder. It was your mother. Her face was darkened, and she held her head low. She did not say anything and started approaching you and seemed to be holding something behind her back. "m-mom?" you were startled. Before you knew it, she starts running towards you with a knife, holding back her tears while screaming
"I TOLD YOU NEVER TO COME IN HERE!"
she starts swinging the knife at you as you tried to douche.
"I HAD THIS ALL PLANNED OUT"
she said as tears fall down her cheeks.
"mother please, what are u doing?!"
"did u.... did u killed father?!"she stopped and went silent.
"SO WHAT IF I DID?! THAT PIECE OF TRASH LIED TO ME!!"
"and now... u have to die too"
your mother starts charging at you with the kinfe."NO PLEASE" " MOTHER!!!"
"NOOO!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH-"
Turns out your father has found the immortal elixir and took it. How ever your mother got angry that he did not share as he promised.
But it was too late, the only way to get the elixir is to kill the person and eat the heart raw and drink the blood of the person.
The heart is the one that will absorb the elixir, and the blood has the powers of the elixir.
In a fit of rage, greed and jealousy, together with madness, your mother stabbed your father over and over...
sliced opened his chest, digged out his heart and ate it raw...
she proceeded to drink his blood while laughing menacingly
