Premise
Vic, a librarian of sorts, wakes up one morning to find a goddess informing him that the world is in great danger, with an the Evil Mage (Rara) planning to destroy it with his/her mysterious "Final Boss": A weapon capable of destroying the world in a single blow. To stop this Vic must head straight into The Evil Mage Castle, defeat the Evil Mage whilst destroying the "Final Boss".

Unfortunately for the goddess, Vic is a major recluse and would like nothing more than to spend his time reading a book or two opposed to going on an "impossible quest". But he is interested in keeping his library intact; especially since the goddess threatens to destroy it if he doesn't comply!

But defeating an Evil Mage and destroying a doomsday weapon sounds like an impossible task of a average librarian such as Vic.....But what's the worst that could happen?


Cast

Spoiler:

Vic
Age: 19
Class: Librarian
Vic is a intelligent but rather reclusive and ill-tempered librarian that works(and lives) in a large library a few miles from the city of Ibanes. As the only worker in the entire library, his many duties include cleaning the entire library, restoring old or damaged tomes, and organizing the entire cache of grimoires and tomes. Even though it's rare if anyone drops by, he continues to work. Other than his high IQ, Vic has absolutely no special abilites...Yep this is our hero.

N O__I M A G E
Alena Larael
Age: ???( Could be over 5000 years old)

It is unknown what exactly she's the goddess of but it seems it's her job to deliver the task of saving the world to the "chosen one". So far, she's been doing pretty well...that is until this day...She forget the hero's name, wings it and ends up at Vic's doorstep. Thoughout this journey she'll act as support to cover her own mistake up.


N O__I M A G E
Rara
Age: Claims to be 18
Class: Evil Mage

Rara is an evil mage who wants to destroy the planet for undisclosed reasons. Many theories say that Rara wants to harness the planet's energy, others say Rara is just crazy and simply likes to destroy for the hell of it. But are these theories true? Who knows? Vic is the only one capable of grasping such an answer....that is if he can get through, Rara's (obviously not a trap) Evil Mage Castle.


N O__I M A G E
"Final Boss"
Age: 5
Class: ???
Built by Rara over the course of 5 years. Not much is know about this weapon, except it's name and that is even skeptical...

Setting

The game mainly takes place in Rara's castle in the country of Perov. The castle in question is spit up into sixteen different sections, which Vic will be forced to explore in order to stop Rara's evil plan. The mage's castle is mostly used as a diversion for potential wannabe heroes trying to stop the "Final Boss" from awakening causing global destruction but it serves also a game for Rara; to see if anyone can slip through the various corridors and rooms inside the castle and actually succeed (guess who's the first one to test it out...). What makes these rooms so troubling you ask? Well the puzzles set up in each on of course~ (Well, then there are the monsters Rara hired). That's all I can say about this place for now but I should expand later.


Features
-A interesting time control aspect
-105 puzzles to wrap you brain around
-A secret mode
-Achievements ~

Wow, your story seems really interesting and your characters all seem vibrant!

I really like how you expressed emotion in Vic by that portrait you chose, it really made me want to read her description and then I was surprised again! Very well done!
The story has a lot of potential and I hope you develop it well. The use of calmly introducing the story and then have it build up was very well executed. It is simple to understand, yet makes me want to read more.

So keep up the good work!

Well thank you. That's what I was going for with the story, Glad someone likes this Idea. And about Vic it was really though decision about using that certain sprite, since technically it is a girl but I just had to use it. Anyway, I just hope I can get a demo out.

Added Screenshots!

[Raiho the XV]

BUMP been awhile since I updated this. And school doesn't make that any easier but I am still working on this project to the best of my abilities

[OkamiFanatic]

I really like the story! It seems different and your characters are very interesting! I'm looking forward to this project!
Good luck with it! (Yes school does make it hard to work on projects -.-)

[Raiho the XV]

Alrighty, starting back up on this....Expect something new soon or not so soon!

[Raiho the XV]

Whew Finally Revamped this....Also BUMP

The premise sounds cool. It's definitely unique, even with the whole 'destroy the world' thing. I'd love to see some screens.

Also, I noticed you're supporting my game. That makes you awesome! (I could design a Userbar for yours, too, if you want)

[Syx]

It definitely does. =D

You might want to put the actual sized picture of Vic's sprite. Single-frame large sprites can be a turn-off to many. Just throwing in my two cents.

And sure, I'll make you a userbar. (Once you get up some screenies, so I know kind of how to make it. )

[Raiho the XV]

Don't worry I'll be making a little portrait for him, that's just a place holder for now.

[Raiho the XV]

Welp. After getting this to where it is now, I'm off to work on my other project. So, If a Mod would kindly close this for the meantime...
