Hello and welcome to "The NetherScript Chronicles" blog. The NetherScript Chronicles is my RPG story/plot that I wish to turn into a real RPG in the future. I will be posting what I have so far soon, but I wish to get people's advice on the story by making the story public here.
I am a writer at heart and my dream is to write the plot/story for RPGs. I will take any reasonable constructive criticism you can give me. Now to the story;
The NetherScript Chronicles:
Loxe, a farmer’s young son who spends most of his time taking care of his father’s apple trees met a young girl named Maylil at a town dance, and after awhile the both of them fell in love with each other. Loxe and Maylil got married a few years after that, but after she bore a daughter she died. Loxe soon found out he might have to raise his only child alone, and soon after his daughter becoming a toddler she contracted a rare illness.
Loxe, now a young father whose wife has passed away many years ago now faces the possibility of his young daughter dying also. Her illness has been degrading her body and soul for months now. Loxe after having visits from the Town Doctor regularly finally is given the advice to search for a cure away from his town. After giving it a bit of thought he agrees and heads off with some weapons and other equipment. The world around his town is also ill and when he travels to the nearest town he finds a young woman whose brother seems to have the same illness as well as people in other parts of her town.
The young woman named Erinie decides to join Loxe’s quest to find a cure for the illness. After leaving this quiet region however they meet forests filled with accursed monsters who seemed possessed by a greater evil. After traveling through the forests they find a temple that might be the key to the cure, but after journeying through its dark chambers filled with more monsters they find an individual wearing a dark cloak and robe who seems to causing some of the degradation of the land and the creation of the monsters.
Loxe and Erinie try to take him on but are quickly blown away and the man disappears but leaves behind him a page of some sort. Loxe and Erinie finally regain consciousness and they take the page out of the temple and find the monsters have left the forests and they are relieved but confused at the same time. They decide to take the page back to Erinie’s town and look for anyone who might know about the page. They go to a bar and a man overhears them and suggests going to the town librarian. He cannot decipher the page but says the page is a part of a larger book, and he can read on the page a name called “The NetherScript”. So they decide they must collect the rest of The NetherScript pages before any more harm can happen to their world.
Before they leave on their journey a mysterious old man gives them the ability to use a boat so they can travel to another country since they have already explored their own country. A new area is unlocked and they set off on the boat, but then the man in the dark robe and cloak confronts them and wrecks their ship. They wash up on the shore of another country and after regaining consciousness they continue their journey and find a village of dwarfs.
The dwarfs are more than kind enough to let them rest on their village, and they also have the ability to upgrade their weapons and clothing. After this Loxe and Erinie hear that there is another temple underground from the Dwarf village and they set off to see what’s there. They find the entrance and the temple is full of monsters similar to the ones in the forests and in the forest temple. They manage to make their way to the main room and find another man with the same kind of clothing causing havoc. They manage to beat this one though and take the page from him. Also like before the monsters disappear without a trace and peace is restored.
They return to the dwarf village and find the village in chaos. A young dwarf is taken by a large monster but Loxe and Erinie fight him off. The young dwarf named Thor then vows his life to Loxe for saving him and joins the group. The dwarfs then tell Loxe about an ancient weapon that could help them fight off some of the NetherScript’s magic, and tell them it’s in a volcano to the north. Thor is also given a mighty hammer handed down by the great dwarf warriors and becomes a valuable member of the team. They head off to the volcano and find giants who seem to be very weak compared to Thor’s hammer.
They enter the main chamber of the volcano and fight the King of the giants, they defeat him and the Giant’s remains reveal an underground room that houses the ancient weapon, The NetherSword. When Loxe pulls out the sword an ancient spirit reveals to him that The NetherSword and The NetherScript can either destroy each other or the both can bring harmony to each other. Loxe is determined though to use it for destroying The NetherScript once he is able to apprehend the pages used by the cult who are causing havoc around the world.
They leave the volcano and are hinted to go a more northern country filled with ice and snow, and there they can find more clues to The NetherScript. They head off in another boat and the man who wrecked them the last time from the forest temple appears again for final time as Loxe and his group finally destroys him and gains his most recent page. They continue and reach the ice continent and find a group of nomads who are being oppressed by an evil kingdom of trolls and goblins. Loxe, Erinie, and Thor go on a quest to smite the evil kingdom and after defeating the king are given a page of The NetherScript. Also alongside it ancient seeing glasses that can magically translate The NetherScript just by looking though it.
The translator tells them to head off to the desert continent to recover one of the last pages. They head off and are captured by desert pirates who fear The NetherScript. They reveal they are descendants of a once powerful civilization, who used to use The NetherScript to control the world, but one day an ancient warrior who used the NetherSword in one swipe destroyed their civilization and the world returned to a peaceful place. Loxe earns their trust by explaining he plans to destroy The NetherScript after he collects all the pages using The NetherSword and he could use their help. The desert pirates points them towards the old capital of the ancient civilization for one of the pages might be there.
That's what I have for now...Thoughts?
