Story So Far: Ruby finds herself in a shadowy, unknown land, her mind clouded with fragmented memories of the past and no clue how she arrived. She faintly recalls a desperate search for her mother, who vanished under strange and unexplained circumstances when Ruby was just a small child. Driven by that haunting mystery, she had stepped through a portal tucked beneath the ancient fortress of Vianden, a crumbling stronghold whispered to be cursed with tales of witchcraft and dark, forbidden magic. The air hangs heavy with an unnatural mist, and eerie symbols flicker faintly on the walls, glowing with a life of their own. As Ruby takes in her strange surroundings, a hooded figure emerges on a flickering screen, its face swallowed by shadows. A voice, cold and echoing as if from some otherworldly abyss, speaks: "Welcome, Ruby. Your destiny awaits." A chill grips her heart, and with a growing sense of dread, Ruby knows her journey has only just begun—dark secrets of this realm lie in wait, ready to be unraveled... ------- Discover a Cursed World of Mystery and Magic Awaken as Ruby in a shadowy realm where ancient portals hide dark secrets.
