" God of the forsaken" is a game that allow the player to feel like a god.
First you choose the world and the race you wish to lead, the final goal is to exterminate or enslave the other races living on the chosen world, you are only able to choose the most hated population.
The ones who are forsaken by every other nation.
Valence love the idea. She loves feeling for once wanted and useful.
She loves to see, even if it's in a game, the people who are rejected and helpeless like her, rise from the ashes and being the final winner.
In this game, she is a god who reverse fate against all odd.
She looks at her screen, her smile becoming bigger and bigger.
Tonight she will choose a new world and will begin a new story.
She scroll between a lot of choices and can only admire the work of the developper. There are indeed more worlds since the update.
Her eyes roam between dozens of picture symbolizing different universe. The details of the drawing so realistic that it l'is like one taken by a camera.
In the dark her face is the only thing illuminated by the screen.
The first picture who attract her attention is a dark castle with mist all around, surrounded by dragons, and thousand of people armed by torsches.Curious, she click on the pic, and a description appear under it:
"Sorcerers, enchantress and dragons live in peace, but a recent illness killing their youngs ones worry each of their nation.
While a rumor who run amongst the masses accuse the Orkens, users of black magic living in a small country, to have cursed the rest of the world.
Thus, they invaded the small country and pushed the remaining population of the Orkens to take refuge in the castle of their capital.
Will you help them escape the pyre?"
The world setting is too much like Harry Potter, she think and mercillessly skip it.
Another bubble catch her eyes, One with a luxurious jungle, where a small troop of tall and haggard people run like they are chased. Most have wounds, and some have chains at their feets. Their Tribal tattoos give them a wild aura, and their shining eyes, of surnatural color like silver, orange, or gold, distinguish them from simple human.
"Alvalir is divided by 5 empire.Each of them seek to expand. However, they don't want to suffer heavy losses and have reached an agreement. Orc, Dwarf, Human, Fae and Elemental empire agree to set their sight of the forest of dawn and divide the piece of land in five. what they discover in there is a race who was believed to be entierely enslaved.The winner take it all.
the conquerors want to take the land and the race who they consider nothing more than playthings, vulgar and barbaric. Helpess under the numerous enemys the beastmans can only hide.
Will you help them keep their last home?"
Too classic. Skip.
What come next is a picture of an enormous battlefield in front of the mouth of a giant cavern.
Lone silhouettes can still be seen standing among the torn flags and the fallen soldiers.
Bird who appear to be some kind of crow of the size of a human loom in the blue sky without cloud.
At this sight the eyes's of Valence become bigger and bigger.
This! This ! This art really has a powerful and dramatic impact!
Happiness dry her tears in anticipation, and wash away her previous sadness .
Yes, she was always good at putting aside unpleaseant matter or feelings.
Not willing to waste more time she quickly look for the description of the world.
"Once upon a time the elven race was on the brink of extinction by the humans and their Solvs. The elves prayed and begged their goddess, Aloa but they didn't receive an answer.
Cornered, some elves stopped protecting the sanctuary of Aloa and fled underground.Finally the goddess reacted. She saved those who stayed, but cursed those who fled.
Since then the cursed are now named the dark elves. Rejected by every other race in fear of provoking the godly wrath of Aloa they didn't find any safe territory to live thus they stayed for century under the earth.
But with each new generation the curse become stronger and stronger, soon they will be no different from monsters without reason. Only the sun can cure them. Will you help them to live under its shining rays?"
Fighting against other gods? This setting only appear when the world played is in the level of "Impossible".
She hesitate because she doesn't like it when it's too hard. When she loses in this game it always so bitter. You can't recover the same world after one failed try. And she always developp a liking to the race she protect so when she lose … it gives her heartache.
But playing dark elves,they sound so sexy…Futhermore playing something too easy isn't pleasing too and now she has years of experience in this game.
Well, she think, let's just play.
She click on the pic for a second time and a chat box pop up:
"Is this your chosen world? Yes/No"
"Yes"
After this an agreement of condition appear on the screen. She doesn't read it, like most people and scroll down to just accept the conditions.
If she had, she would have read more than a few strange and chilling rules and the name of ASTRAVAL at the bottom would have suprised her.
"The dark elves retain the beautiful appearance of the Elves, but underneath their white skin, the curse appear like black light. Their eyes are violets and their hair can only be black or silver or mix of the two. The curse give them a lifespan similar of humans. Futhermore generation after generationn, the newborns are more and more weakened, and some succomb to a crazy state who push them to lose reason and seek bloodbath. The curse constantly nibble their pained nerves under their skins and deform their body."
A short introduction of the species accompanied by the picture of the standard apparence of a dark elves leave Valence breathless.
Who do not like pretty things ? As expected dark elves are beautiful creatures.
-Do you want to enter the chosen world?
Yes/No
"Yes"
The screen go black then a light slowly appear
After the white light a gloomy landscape comes. It's the previous landscape she saw when she decided to choose the dark elve's world
She has a plunging view on A battlefield with torn flags, and gigantic crows looming.
In red letters her first quest appear;
"Main quest: Find your champion!"
