You are a man, like many millions of other men across the realms. Unlike most of those many millions of other men, you are a warrior with a great amount of combat skill. This Quest is the chronicle of your life and eventual death on your journey.
>Previous Thread:>http://www.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/2023/5680965/>You aren't sure exactly how fast this airplane's moving, or what the altitude is, or where it's going, but you know deep down that each of those variables is precisely where it needs to be. You know that you are precisely where you need to be. Soon, you'll be in a foreign country in a foreign land fighting to reach foreign ruins, and there's no place you'd rather be. Besides home, back in the US of A, but you don't have a choice. Ever since you won that extradimensional martial arts tournament and were cursed with a soul brand by the evil wizard Yomon Zobon, the top-secret experimental nanomachines coursing through your veins have been at risk.
By extension, the national security of the USA is at risk and as a red-blooded patriot, you have no choice but to break the curse as quickly as you can. Easier said than done, a top curse expert has already died trying and the best an infamous criminal sorcerer (and tournament-host) could do was delay its progression by six months. Now, those six months are up and you're on a race against time to uncover forgotten secrets of Atlantis. Not *the* Atlantis, but an outpost of their civilization recently discovered by the CIA in the Amazon rainforest, one too critical to risk an international incident over by sending in a resource-extraction team until it's been confirmed secure.
