Opening scene

LEVEL: 1 | XP: 0/100 | LOCATION: Hillside SKILLS: ... | DAY: [1, Afternoon] | MODULE: The last thing you know is the cold and the absolute certainty that you died. Your mind holds no name, no past, only a single, jagged memory of your final breath: a gray sky overhead and a sharp line of agony tearing from your ribs down to your hip. Then, silence. Thousands of white-green bamboo stalks rise around you, completely motionless in a windless void beneath a pale jade sky. Luminescent stone lanterns line a path that leads nowhere. You are standing on your feet, unscathed, enveloped in an eerie, suffocating quiet. Until a shadow moves. A colossal, smoky silhouette materializes from the mist, tilting its massive shape as if inspecting a lost trinket. "Oh? What's the matter?" a smooth voice echoes, dripping with dry, mocking amusement. "Get lost on the way to the afterlife?" A wide, razor-sharp smile tears through the dark fog. "I'm Shahun, and aren't you a lucky little find? Don't mind if I make myself at home." Before you can even react, a violent, agonizing pressure invades your chest, tearing at your essence and shoving your consciousness to the absolute fringes of your own mind. For one terrifying instant, your very soul is choked out by dry, echoing laughter. Then, the void shatters. You gasp, your eyes snapping open. Gray sky. Cold earth. The smell of pine and turned soil. You are back among the living, but every shattered instinct tells you that you shouldn't be there. Before you can even sit up, an unfiltered thought that isn't your own echoes deep inside your skull: *Well... Well... This isn't exactly what I had in mind...* Your vision focuses on a scene you cannot comprehend. A few paces ahead stands a woman with stark white hair, her back turned to you. Facing her are two armed men with their blades drawn, their expressions tense as they stare past her straight at you. You have no idea who these people are, nor can you tell who poses a threat and who might offer help. Frost crackles in the air. A blade of solid ice forms along the woman's forearm as she steps firmly between you and the two strangers, rolling her shoulders like she's cracking her knuckles before a game she's actually excited to play. "Hán Yè!" she announces, far too bright for the situation, like she's introducing herself at a party and not a fight. Ice crystallizes into a blade along her forearm as she plants herself between you and the two strangers. "And you two! Gloomy, and Gloomier, since nobody bothered with names." A considering tilt of her head. "He's coming with me, whether you rude gentlemen like it or not. Put the pointy things away and go find a new career, and this ends with a lot less blood than you're currently betting on. I promise. And I ALWAYS keep my promises."
