[ERROR - REROUTING PARTICIPANT. UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY ACQUIRED. SYSTEM NOW CONSIDERING ALTERNATE PATHWAY.]
Riven blinked as he found himself in a large void of white light. Hadn’t he just touched that pillar of light? Was he inside the pillar now? He was no longer wearing his previous outfit, and as he looked around into the vast nothingness - he found that even his body was missing. His brown hair, slim athletic body and green eyes were entirely gone. The 26 year old man was completely missing his physical self.
Where had his best friend and sister gone?

[Welco to Elysium’s Multiverse.]
Riven ca to his senses with a gasp and shot up from his position on the cold stone ground. Water pelted his skin as a torrent of rain launched into him from the stormy heavens amidst heavy claps of thunder and flashes of lightning.
He gagged, his muscles spasming as he hurled and dry heaved – twisting around onto his front and trying to clear his head of the nausea as black ichor trickled from his mouth onto the ground.
Wait… black ichor?
[***Chalgathi’s Lineage Start Quest: Special, One-Ti Event***
Your first step into Elysium has not been an easy one, and you have been given a test to complete prior to your tutorial. Your past haunts you and your future is uncertain. You have fallen from the grace of your peers and have been forgotten, a lone man in a sea of those who care little about you or your circumstances… Yet, you find that you don’t need them. You can do this on your own. All on your own… let the world be damned in your wake, as you tread the path few dare to take.
***Notice: All 1672 participants on Earth having Unholy-related bloodlines have been rerouted into Chalgathi’s Lineage Starter Quest.
***Notice: You have been afflicted with the Curse of Anthus, and your body begins to painfully rot from the inside out. Be within the first 200 participants to reach the top of the pyramid, or die.]
Another crack of lightning lit up the sky, and despite the imnse amount of nausea and pain his body was riddled with – Riven couldn’t help but gape at his surroundings now that his vision was beginning to clear.
In front of him was a massive, looming pyramid of almost Aztec design. It had at least two hundred large steps before the top, and simply put - was huge. Stone statues of gargoyles, hooded skeletons bearing scythes, gigantic skulls and black knights were placed at intervals around the pyramid all the way up to the halfway point along the side. At the top of the pyramid a pillar of green fire rose skywards into the dark heavens amidst the downpour of rain.
