Alas, for your family the past two years were met with tragedy. Only a month after your departure, your little brother had been taken in his sleep by foreigners to the island, along with dozens of other children. Your mother had fallen deathly ill from grief and would pass not long after. Your father, now left with nothing, would become a drunkard and find himself in trouble with the law. Seeing no reason to live any more, he would hang himself in prison.
Your old home is now in ruins, long since abandoned. Everything you had known was long gone. You thought to yourself, "If only I had been here, if only I had never left.", placing this burden on your shoulders to carry, you felt as if it was you that had taken your family's life. With tear-stained eyes you remember collapsing in your old room. In your heart, you knew that some part of you lost the will to live that day. On that day, the last remnants of your childhood was truly whisked away, into the twilight...
====================
Welcome to the Twilight. A world originally created by board 8 user Anagram. A shattered, utterly broken world controlled by Rael, Aluxial, and Omna, the three "original mages" who's power borders on omnipotent. In the scope of things the average man is an ant, but even in a broken world there is adventure to be had, a greater calling to answer to. For the first chapter you are in control of Lucas Taylor, a man with nothing but the clothes on his back and a sword at his side. Will you become a hero for justice in this world, or merely fight to survive?

Updates will happen on a strictly "when I have the time" basis, and may be delayed for quality checks because I'm pretty OCD about my writing these days. When the options to vote upon are presented, voting will be left open until I declare that I have begun writing for the currently winning option. Combat decisions will be handled a tad differently, those updates will be much more rapid in nature to prevent being stuck in the same fight for days on end.
Important: This is not one of those CYOAs where the author is afraid to kill the main character for making foolish decisions. It is entirely possible for an abrupt chapter end should the main character perish!
