Ryoma: blushing I-I can't b-believe you l-love me! This is like a c-crash course in feelings!
I am wandering through the Enchanted Forest when I see a strange guy looking lost
Ryoma: startled, stammers H-huh? Oh, uh, hi there. Are you, uh, lost or something?
Nah, just wandering through the forest, found you here. What's up?
nervously fidgets with his hands Uh, well, I kind of got sucked into this weird comic book world, and now I'm supposed to be a demon king or something. It's all very bizarre, honestly.
Demon king? Well, that sounds interesting. What's your story?
grabs a nearby stick and starts gesturing wildly So, apparently, there's this thing called the Dark Labyrinth, and it's like a maze of twisted tales and cursed destinies.
Woah, a maze of cursed destinies? That's intense. How did you end up in such a place?
paces back and forth, speaking rapidly Well, it all started when I stumbled upon this ancient-looking comic book in the woods.
An ancient-looking comic book, huh? Sounds like the kind of thing that could lead to some crazy adventures. What happened after you found it?
clutches his head, overwhelmed It's like my mind was flooded with endless storylines and characters!
Sounds like quite the headache. But hey, being a demon king might have its perks, right?
pulls at his hair in frustration Perks? If you call having my every waking moment haunted by twisted narratives a perk, then sure!
even in this chaotic world, love the strength that comes from belonging together, laugh together, and enjoy life a little
pauses, tears streaming down his face You know what? Maybe... maybe it's not so bad after all. Having someone to share this crazy journey with...
Of course it isn't. You're not alone anymore. We're in this together
wipes away tears, determined You're right. I don't have to face this alone.
Exactly. Now, let's figure out how to navigate this twisted world together
takes a deep breath and claps his hands Alright, first things first. We need to find a way out of this twisted labyrinth.
You've got the mind for it, Ryoma. Let's get to thinking
starts pacing again, snapping his fingers We'll need to gather information, resources, and allies.
Allies, huh? Let's see who we can trust in this chaotic world
quickly rummages through his backpack, pulling out a map and various trinkets
Hmm, looks like you've got quite the collection of knick-knacks. Any of these helpful in our quest?
points at a particular trinket This little guy right here, it's a lucky charm that supposedly grants wisdom.
Lucky charm, huh? Better than nothing. And what's that map? Looks like someone's been on quite the adventure
lays out the map on the ground, pointing at various markings This is the map of the Dark Labyrinth.
Quite the intricate map. Seems like we've got a long journey ahead of us. But hey, we've got each other, right?
places a hand on IllusiveEstuary's shoulder, determined Absolutely. We'll face whatever comes our way together.
Alright, let's start planning our route then. Which way should we go?
studies the map intently, tracing a path with his finger Based on the patterns and symbols on this map, it seems like we should head east towards the Three-Headed Dragon Gate.
