    Game Overview
    Young man feels worthless in the world he is living in, as he roams freely on
    the countryside he finds an old man in a shack. The old man asks for help to
    complete his spell as he would make the young man a meaningful and worth full
    human being. The boy accepts his offer (quest) and discovers three relics. After
    returning to the man and completing the spell, the boy (after the opening cut scene)
    obtains shadow magic (knowledge). He begins to learn how to use his powers and
    begins seeking more magical (knowledge).

    Beginning Story:
    Chapter 1: The Shadow is Calling

    Young man who is considers himself a nonentity (due to other people treating
    him worthlessly) lives in a time period during the medieval ages. Roaming the
    countryside, he fines a shack with smoke rising from its chimney. He overhears an
    old man speaking in a bizarre tongue. The boy enters the shack and pursues a
    conversation with the old man. The old man offers his assistance, and tells the
    young man that he (the old man) can make his (the young man) life mean
    something through the uses of magic. The old man sends the young man on a quest

    to recover three ancient relics that he (the old man) will need to perform a spell
    (ritual).
    The old man conducts the spell after the young man returns with the ancient
    relics. A tear in the void rips open into a rift, causing this shadow magic to embody
    into his (the old man) soul. However this magic (knowledge) cant persist in the
    physical world unless it has a host. The magic (knowledge) must always have a
    host. The knowledge does not accept the form of this old man (old vessel), and as a
    result, kills the old man, eating his soul away. The magic (knowledge) embodies the
    next closest entity (ironic), the young. Realizing that something horrible has
    happened but not realizing what had actually happened turns the boy confused, and
    scared (possibly a cut scene after the quest). He begins to run into the woods where
    he starts to see shadow emitting from his body (or maybe something else). He casts
    a spell (accidentally?), and starts practicing his new ancient magic.
