"The Catacomb is something unexplainable, a force of nature that humanity doesn't yet fully understand. Like the discovery of black holes, it changed the way we perceive and understand the universe. Imagine an Earth made up of layers instead of being spherical. The seven continents don't lie on a globe, but on seven different layers connected via unique passages. To move from, say, layer five to layer six, you would need to find one of the numerous passages spread throughout that link the two. This is essentially what the Catacomb is, a world of layers, and the gates on Shole Island somehow act as portals that lead directly to the top layer of the Catacomb, what we call the First Floor. But it doesn't end there. The Catacomb extends downwards into infinity, or at least, it appears to, for humanity has yet to reach the Bottom Floor. And the further one descends into its depth, the more dangerous but also more wondrous and fantastical it gets. For literally anything can happen in the Catacomb; it is a place where magic is a reality, where monsters and myths roam, where adventure lies around every corner, and where humans can attain the power of Gods. And as, over time, humans began to realize this, the Catacomb increasingly became a destination for people all around the world. For people like me." - Shepherd, Chapter 1

BOOK ONE: Having enough courage to run through the woods and away from the people who convinced me they were saving me was not how I believed I'd spend my day. Yet, there I went escaping from the only place I knew existed in the world. Being held captive was too much for me, especially when these people wouldn't tell me who they were or even who I was. The first moment in my life I recall very clearly. I awoke in a dark room, with recollection of everything that happened in the world except for one thing. I had no memory of myself existing, I didn't know where I was or why these men kept me from leaving. Days after I first woke I asked plenty of questions, and yet none of them were answered. The only thing I learned was that I was not allowed outside because the woods heald the most powerful magic on the planet, the most dangerous magic. It was more than just bad men and curiosity about the forest that got me to leave, it was a pull towards something; towards magic. Once I was in the forest turning back was never an option, so I put it in my head that I'd keep walking until I found a civilization or a nice paved road that would lead to safety. But that never happened because the forest has a force living through it. Believing that the forest held something strange was the easy part but experiencing it myself was something totally different. I didn't expect anything normal but I didn't expect to be completly engulfed into the forest. I was led by an unknown presence that made me truly believe it was a living being, and in fact it is. I was innocent then, but now I know that anything can be hidden under a small platform in the woods with a secret bigger than the world itself. I was given life that day, until it all ended months later; the day I took my last breath.
