Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game

[You step forward, reading word by word, line by line...]

[This is an epic age of heroes!]

[The Stars, the wicked gods, have invaded our beautiful homeland. Countless Polymaths unite with the great ’Almighty True Knowledge’ to resist the enemies from the cosmos.]

[Scholars, relying on their knowledge, fought on the forefront against the Stars, becoming immortal heroes worthy of being inscribed in history.]

[Since childhood, I have been determined to become a Polymath, following the True God to fight and protect my homeland. If I could be remembered by history like those great heroes, what supreme glory that would be!]

[Under the expectations of my parents, I joined the Academy of Knowledge and studied hard.]

[In order to become a hero, I made an effort countless times more than ordinary people. The firm belief, solid as a rock, sustained me in absorbing knowledge throughout every sleepless night and every moment of exhaustion and hunger!]

[However, things go against one’s wishes... The great ’Almighty True Knowledge’, forgive my dullness. Despite my efforts, I still fall behind among my peers.]

[My professor tried to soothe me, stating that not everyone is able to obtain the favour of Knowledge, and I should give up my studies to contribute my faith to the True God elsewhere... The war to defend our homeland needs more than scholars fighting on the front lines.]

[The professor helped me contact the logistics academy, hoping that I could give up my seat at the Academy of Knowledge to the more gifted peers.]

[Logic told me to heed the advice of the professor... but I couldn’t bear it!]
