Veritas Aequitas

Poison Wasn't Meta, Until The Game Invaded The World

In every game I ever played, I was always drawn to rogues simply for the purpose of utilizing deadly poisons in my play style. The game Dungeon of Veritas, was an MMORPG game where the players would create characters who would start in a beginner town, and attack the mysterious dungeon. By completing floors of the dungeon, you would advance to the next one while collecting loot and new skills. The dungeon had 100 floors, and it was said in the lore that on the 100th level you would discover the 'truth' of the world. Theodore Hunt, also known by his in-game name Pestilence, is a 24 year old unemployed gamer who plays the unpopular class of Rogue in an even more unpopular way. His character was all about using poisons, and other Damage Over Time effects (DOTs), to watch the enemy slowly die while he had to focus on avoiding any hits as just one hit could kill his frail character. One day, while he was on his way to his part time job, a tear in the sky opened up. Endless monsters poured out of the tear, and pandemonium descended on Earth. The human race looked doomed, as modern weapons were useless against the creatures as they seemed to have a mystical force that reduced the impact of bullets, but then emerged Players. These people had awakened their classes, from their characters in Dungeon of Veritas, and began to repel the creatures with the use of skills or items. Theodore was now given the class of rogue, deemed useless in the game, but the effects of poison were no longer restricted for 'balance'. He would soon discover how powerful poisons can be.

The Last Storyteller

In the meticulously ordered city of Veritas, 17-year-old Anya is an apprentice at the Ministry of Truth, where stories have been declared relics of a dangerous, bygone era. "Fictions" are systematically purged, while fact-based "Non-Fictions" are the sole source of sanctioned knowledge. Citizens live under the watchful eye of the surveillance network and are bombarded with daily "Fact Showers" reinforcing the Ministry's approved version of reality. Since childhood, Anya has harbored a forbidden love for the whispers of old tales, passed down secretly by her grandmother. This yearning explodes when she stumbles upon a hidden room in the Ministry's archives, stacked with dusty, forbidden books. Anya's world shifts; she can't resist the lure of imagined worlds. Worse yet, she discovers a rare ability: the characters and landscapes in the stories she reads flicker into vivid visualizations, as real as her dull surroundings. Torn between loyalty and her newfound passion, Anya's life is further complicated when she's drawn into the orbit of The Storytellers. This clandestine group believes stories feed the soul and ignite critical thinking – precisely what the Ministry fears. Anya finds herself caught between order and imagination, duty and rebellion, especially as sparks fly between her and Luka, a daring young Storyteller. Meanwhile, the Ministry's hold on Veritas tightens. The Censor, a man haunted by a childhood tragedy he blames on the chaotic power of fiction, oversees ruthless suppression of dissent. He secretly develops a technology to stifle the very act of imagination, ensuring the unquestioning obedience of his citizens. As Anya is swept up in the Storytellers' plans for rebellion, she realizes her visualizations could be their most potent weapon. But her power also paints a target on her back. She must choose: protect herself and comply with the Ministry's oppressive rule, or join the fight for the transformative power of stories, facing capture, the uncovering of her gift, and the threat of the Censor's mind-numbing technology. In a city where truth itself is subjective, Anya discovers the line between fact and fiction is less solid than she once believed. The future of Veritas hinges not just on survival, but on the battle to revive the human spirit – a fight that may depend on the last storyteller.
