Apocrypha Online
Ezra was your typical failure. Burdened by unsurmountable debt and after losing his job too, he contemplated ending it all. With the remaining change in his pocket, he went out for a drink and drunkenly stumbled upon a bridge. There he gazed at the welcoming frozen waters from above.
However, before he could work up the nerve, he noticed the shadow of a person, farther down the bridge, take the initiative before him. Without understanding why, he dove off the bridge after the poor soul for an attempted rescue.
The weight of the other person dragged them both down into the frozen depths as he struggled to pull them both back to the surface. Soon darkness and a numb sensation ended the futile rescue as Ezra fell unconscious.
Waking up in a strange room by a small child-like being in a butler costume, Ezra found himself and his attempted rescue lying on a bare white floor. As he feebly reached his hand across to the person's face, he realized there was no longer any signs of life and attempted to perform CPR.
"It's no use. The acolyte is beyond saving. His life bar is now forever capped at 0." Said the strange child.
"Life bar? Acolyte? Where am I?" Replied Ezra.
"Welcome to Apocrypha: A paradise for killers! Riches, freedom, and all desires can be achieved by the victors of this perilous game!" Announced the small butler with tiny horns, a wink, and a sparkling smile.
"But... I've never killed anyone in my life!" Gasped Ezra in disbelief.
