1 | Start

Welcome, traveler! You find yourself standing at the edge of reality, where endless possibilities stretch before you. The void shimmers with potential worlds waiting to be born.

Where do you wish to go? What kind of universe calls to you - fantasy realms, futuristic cities, ancient kingdoms, or perhaps something entirely different?

2 | totoro

You step through a shimmering portal and emerge in a peaceful Japanese countryside. Ancient camphor trees tower overhead, their massive trunks twisted with age. Sunlight filters through dense green canopy, creating dancing shadows on the forest floor.

A gentle breeze rustles the leaves, and you catch a faint, magical hum in the air. This feels like a place where forest spirits might dwell. A dirt path winds deeper into the woods, while another leads toward a small village visible in the distance.

What do you wish to do?

3 | search for totoro

You begin searching through the forest, pushing aside ferns and peering behind the massive tree trunks. The forest spirits are elusive creatures, not easily found by those who seek them directly.

After some time, you notice the wind has grown still. The forest feels expectant, watching. You hear a faint rustling above - not quite wind, but something larger moving through the canopy.

SKILL CHECK: Finding a forest spirit requires patience and the right approach (Difficulty: 6/10). Simply searching won't be enough.

You could try calling out, sitting quietly and waiting, offering something as a gift, or perhaps playing music. Forest spirits are drawn to pure intentions and childlike wonder.

What approach do you take?
