Part 23: The Original Man.
5. The Original Man.quote:
"I think I see something. Could it be The Original Man??”
The Original Man has a strange look in his eyes, but you cannot make him out clearly.
"Yes! I see him! Thank goodness..."
The Original Man has a strange look in his eyes, but you cannot make him out clearly.
He bows to you:
"The Grand Mage has told me everything. I promise I will make you very happy."
"What magic...will I need?" you ask.
"It is an ancient power, with a price"
He slowly approaches you:
"It is a very special magic, not used by mortals or those without powers: It is called "Golden Time". It allows you to slow down the flow of time, and lengthen the period of your life. This, by the way, is how you stay young forever."
A wave of happiness hits you:
"Ooooooh, what kind of power is this!" you whisper. "So what if I stay young forever? Isn't that great?"
You see a Blue Sheep on the far side of the cave:
"It seems I can talk to the animals in this game. They are nice and they do not attack me!"
"You cannot make friends with that Sheep" you hear a voice .
You turn to find The Original Man again.
"Not yet..." you say.
The Original Man appears again.
"Do not even bother..." he says in a cold voice. "The path to my power is as dangerous as the one to your treasure!"
"I'm scared..." you say.
"It would be best to accept my offer and go with me."
"How much do I have to pay for this magic?" you ask.
"To become the first master of this magic, you must pay with your life."
"No way, I'm not selling my soul to the devil! I don't even believe in him!"
The Original Man only laughs and says:
"For the small price of your soul, I can grant you untold power. With my power, you can do anything. My power will also free all the Masterless Dragons from their bondage to me. And I will not force you to join me, just to give you my power. So, choose your price, and we can begin this adventure."
YOU decide to:
1. Accept his offer
2. Pay him 1,000 gold pieces
3. Pay him twice that amount.
4. Pay him more gold than any of the other NPCs.
5. Pay him for just being him.
6. Pay him to stop existing.
7. Refuse.
If you do not take the choice, the game will end, and you will never be born.
Otherwise, your soul will be auctioned off in Hell and you will become a slave to the devil for all eternity.
You will be forced to ride in his carriage, and he will train you in his special training ring.
