Mysterious Island

????

You must be yet another lost adventurer.

How did you find your way to this isolated unknown island? This is strange; recently I'm seeing more and more lost adventurers around here.

I'll help you get back on track. Please leave before you regret.

• Tell me about this island. I'm here to explore. (accepts the quest)

????

You know this is your last chance to change your mind.

You're risking your life by not listening to me. That happened to many other adventurers, and it's heartbreaking to see them dead.

If you really want to know about this island, fine; I'll tell you. My name is Arhen. I died a long time ago, but my spirit hasn't left this island.

• Nice to meet you, Arhen.

Arhen

No one knows how long this island has been around, or what civilizations existed in the past.

No historical record or artifacts are left to support any theory. In this island, only strange creatures inhabit fighting for their territories.

Some natives appear to be once Humans, but they must have been influced by evil creatures, evolving themselves fit to the surroundings .

That's all I know.

• How did you come to this island?

Arhen

*Sigh*...That's a long, sad story. I've lost most of my memories, but I lived in a small village when I was alive.

My village was quiet and peaceful before the invasion of the notorious pirate Captain Trugust who wielded his power all over the world.

He was a bloodthirsty monster whose purpose of life was to kill and destroy everything. He killed most of my residents, burned down the houses, looted us, and then captured the survivors to enslave them.

• Oh... You're one of the captured survivors.

Arhen

Yes... I was terrified because knew how cruel and merciless Captain Trugust was. Every survivor including me lost a hope to live.

On the way back to his stronghold, we're shipwrecked by Queen Calamity near this island.

Queen Calamity suddenly appeared from underwater. That giant monster was not only powerful but also intelligent enough to evolve itself.

• Tell me more about Queen Calamity.

Arhen

The natives of this island feared Queen Calamity.

I think she is a member of Mutant Clan that has attained a power of the Lord of Destruction during the Great Destruction.

To the natives, every day was a living hell because Queen Calamity was preying upon them.

One day, Chief Syarsor finally decided to take an extreme measure.

• What thing?

Arhen

The chief was a gifted shaman.

To minimize damage, he entitled Queen Calamity the protector of his village and sacrificed his residents to her on regular basis.

In return, Queen Calamity endowed the chief with her shamanic power.

• That sounds terrible.

Arhen

I know. There were a few more terrible incidents afterwards, but then Queen Calamity soon stopped hunting the residents and started coexisting with them peacefully.

Since then, this island became isolated from the world. No one dared come because of its dreadful atmosphere caused by the power of Queen Calamity.

I wonder why Queen Calamity dragged the ship and us to the island... Do you think she smelled blood from us?

• What happened to Captain Trugust?

Arhen

Ah... We don't have time. If we keep talking, we'll draw their attention: Queen Calamity and Syarsor. I don't have a power to protect or hide you from them.

But if we have another chance to meet, I'll tell you the rest.

If you must explore this island, I'll open the Gate of Vindictive Souls for you.

Good luck.

• Arhen will open the Gate of Vindictive Souls for you. (completes the quest)
