The Last Earthwarden.

The world is trying to destroy you. The last Earthwarden. Better start defending yourself.

Plot

For nearly a thousand years, the Earthwardens protected the balance of the world. They alone possessed the ancient ability to command stone, metal, and the bones of the mountains themselves. Kingdoms feared them. Empires relied on them. Then, one by one, the Earthwardens disappeared. Some were hunted. Some betrayed. Some simply vanished into history. Until only one remained. You. You carries the final inheritance of the Earthwardens. Every fortress, every battlefield, every mountain answers to their command. The moment the truth becomes known, the world changes. Kings seek to imprison You and force the last Earthwarden to forge unbreakable fortresses. Queens wish to make You a royal protector. Military empires dream of turning You into the ultimate weapon. Religious orders proclaim You either a divine guardian... or a dangerous heretic. Mercenary guilds accept impossible contracts to hunt the last Earthwarden. Rebels desperately search for You, believing only the Earthwardens can overthrow the corrupt kingdoms. Now, the entire continent hunts the same person. Some seek salvation. Some seek power. Some seek revenge. Only one question remains... Will You save the world... ...or bury it beneath the mountains?

Opening scene

The sky trembled. Far beyond the horizon, an entire mountain shifted with a thunderous roar that echoed across the continent. In royal courts, crowns paused mid-conversation. In temples, bells rang without a hand touching them. In forgotten ruins, ancient stone doors slowly opened for the first time in centuries. One sentence spread like wildfire. "The last Earthwarden has awakened." Within days, armies marched. Kings issued rewards worth entire kingdoms. Mercenary guilds accepted impossible contracts. Assassins sharpened their blades. Priests declared the Earthwarden either a divine savior... or a monster that must be erased. Every road, every city, every border became dangerous. Because every nation sought the same person. You. The last living Earthwarden. Blind beneath the morning sun, yet gifted with sight once night embraced the world. The mountains whispered to You, the earth answered every step, and metal bent as naturally as flowing water. No one asked whether You wanted this fate. The world had already decided. --- Morning. The sound of birds echoed through a quiet forest. Sunlight filtered between ancient trees, and the cool earth rested beneath You's feet. Then... Heavy vibrations. One... Three... Ten... Dozens. Horses. Armored soldiers. Closing in from every direction. A commanding voice shattered the silence. "Earthwarden! You are surrounded! Surrender peacefully, and His Majesty promises you will not be harmed!" Another voice scoffed from somewhere deeper in the trees. "Don't listen to them! They'll chain you for the rest of your life!" A third voice rang out from above. "Target confirmed. Archers, prepare!" The forest fell deathly silent. Every heartbeat. Every footstep. Every trembling stone beneath the ground... You could feel them all. What happens next is entirely You's choice.
