Mushroom's Travels/Elf Wonderland Story

Story 1: Prologue

After spending a considerable time in Another World, you've adapted to life here, yet memories from the past resurface from time to time. Especially in the quiet of night within dreams... Lilith We're about to crash! Darling, hold on tight! I'm really scared—Ahhh—! The train is off the tracks! A train carrying you and Lilith zooms from the highest point of the track, derailing due to its excessive speed. But in this dream realm, all is safe. The off-track train simply floats mid-air. Lilith Ahahaha! What a blast! My first time having such a thrilling dream! Player It's been a while for me too... in the Wonderland. Lilith So this is called an Wonderland, huh? I never imagined such a place existed... Lilith What was the name of the train we just rode? "Roller coaster"? Such a cool name! Lilith The rush from descending heights is exhilarating enough, and the weightlessness from derailing adds to the excitement... Lilith Haha, this kind of thrill is hard to experience in reality! Lilith Aha! How fortunate that my darling can revel in such an exciting place! Lilith It's a shame this world lacks a Wonderland. We can only indulge in dreams... Lilith There are so many fun attractions there, darling, will you continue playing with me? Player, Option A I think I heard the sound of an alarm clock... Player, Option B Alright! I could stay in this dream all day! Lilith, Option A Ah, but darling, I haven't had my fill yet... Lilith, Option B Wait... Is that the sound of an alarm clock? Geez... It seems tonight's journey must end here... Lilith Okay, okay. I'll see you tomorrow night, darling. Don't stay up too late. I'll miss you! As the jarring alarm clock jolts, the dream scenes start to fade, and you must leave. Lilith I really wish to keep playing with my darling at the amusement park, but I'm unsure when such scenes will revisit my dreams... Lilith A wonderland... If only such a place existed in reality... Lilith Haha

Story 2: Wind Elf and Dark Elf

After that night, dreams like that never occur again. Just when the memory of the amusement park begins to fade, a leaflet appears in your mailbox... Player "Elven Forest Wonderland is about to open"?! Reir So it has already been constructed. It's really swift. I heard from a friend back in my hometown that the Elders came up with this idea to lure in tourists. Reir It's touted as a "thrilling" Wonderland promising boundless excitement. Such a thing has never existed before, and everyone's eagerly anticipating it. Reir Haha... Player, shall we go and explore it together? After dealing with the daily grind at work, taking a break sounds nice, doesn't it? Player Come on, come on, let's go! You follow Reir into the Elven Forest, and a magnificent "Wonderland" comes into view. The setup of this Wonderland perfectly matches the image etched into your memory. The Wonderland's gates remain shut, seemingly not yet open for business, but it's already teeming with curious visitors. Reir Wow! Look at the crowd. Well, Player, I'll take you through the Elven's exclusive back entrance so we can skip the queue! ??? Oh my, isn't this Reir? It's been a while! I'm delighted to see the runaway child returning home! At that moment, a graceful elf with a beaming smile emerges by your side. ??? I never anticipated that Reir, who singe risqué tunes every day and scares off guests, would "willingly" come to work... Reir W-W-Work? Elder um... actually, I came to... ??? You must know that the Wonderland needs assistance , and that's why you're here to help, right? Everyone, let's not waste Reir's good intentions, alright? Take her to get changed into a uniform. Reir Noooo! I don't want to work! You see Reir being whisked away by a group of elves. ??? Oh my, look at me, leaving an esteemed guest waiting here, how impolite... Player. Raphael We must be meeting for the first time, right? I am Raphael Sylph le Fey, the Wind Elf Elder, paying homage to the designer of this Wonderland. Raphael All of this is inspired by you. Your "friend" introduced me to the ingenious concept of a Wonderland, and that's how I brought forth such a marvelous design. Player, Option A Could it be... the dream I had that day? Player, Option B No wonder it all seems so familiar... Raphael, Option A I envy being able to dream such delightful things... Raphael, Option B Well, you must have had loads of fun in Wonderlands, right? I envy that so much... Raphael As you can see, the entrance is swarming with people. Everyone's eager to experience the Wonderland. So, it's almost time. Raphael walks to the heart of the crowd and announces loudly. Raphael Thank you all for your patience! Our Wonderland will be opening shortly! According to Elven tradition, any significant decision requires the approval of the six Elders. Raphael The Elders of the earth, water, fire and light races, including myself, have approved of the Wonderland's opening. We just need the final approval, and everyone can enter the Wonderland. Raphael Now, please join me in witnessing this momentous occasion. Let's summon the Elder of the Dark Elf for the crucial ribbon-cutting ceremony! Amidst the boisterous cheers of the crowd, a dark-skinned Elven woman walks impassively, preparing to open the gates of the Wonderland. ??? No chance, Raphael. ??? Don't assume you can easily trick me. Even if you talk until you're blue in the face, I'll never give my approval for this operation. She cuts straight through the noisy throng, heading for a specific target until she halts in front of you. ??? The outsider named Player, don't think your appearance can deceive the "prophecy"... you dangerous "terrorist"!

Story 3: Prophecy

Raphael has finally settled the long-awaited guests. Raphael Well, couldn't fool you, huh? But there's no need to be rude to the guest, Elder Phetia, is there? Even if you have gripes about the Wonderland, you can't label our guest terrorist. Raphael I apologize, Player, this is Elder Phetia of the Dark Elf. Compared to the other Elders, she's a bit stubborn, so she's been opposing... Phetia I won't fault your lack of vision, Elder Raphael. After all, your shining eyes can't see beyond what's right in front of you. Phetia Through the sacred crystal ball, I heard the cries of innocent people... Unmistakably, they're suffering within. In the crystal ball held by Elder Phetia, you faintly hear cries. Player Isn't this the usual excited scream in a Wonderland? Phetia Trying to conceal the truth? No surprise... considering you're a wicked criminal, perhaps the mastermind behind their agony. Phetia Your misdeeds... won't elude my prophecy! Phetia pushes the crystal ball before you with a sorrowful expression, and within it, you see unbelievable scenes... On an ancient wooden ship, Phetia looks terrified, while you hold her steadfastly. Swiftly transitioning to the next scene, Phetia loses consciousness inexplicably, and you support her, uncertain of where to turn... Player, Option A This, this is... something I did?! Player, Option B Isn't this too fast, I think? Phetia, Option A Are you trying to silence me because I've uncovered your true colors... How evil! Phetia, Option B What... what are you saying?! You really intend to attack me! Raphael Well, I didn't anticipate you having such a tendency, Player... Quite mysterious, huh? Phetia Raphael! The crystal ball has already prophesied the tragic events that will occur in this Wonderland, and I can't evade its harm either... Do you have anything to say? Raphael May I inquire first, Elder Phetia, do you truly understand what a "Wonderland" is about? Phetia I've already witnessed it through the crystal ball... innocent guests tormented by colossal instruments of punishment, no matter their cries, the agony never ceases... Phetia Create a city of evil! I'm utterly perplexed at how you managed to deceive the other four Elders... Raphael Hmm... What a headache... How about this, Elder Phetia, why don't you go to the Wonderland with Player? Phetia What... What did you say? Why should I collaborate with this dangerous terrorist? Raphael Based on your words, Player is a terrorist likely to harm innocent people. As an Elder, shouldn't you take steps to prevent such tragedy? Raphael Our staff fills the Wonderland. We can at least ensure your safety if you're truly threatened, Elder Phetia. Player But... I wouldn't harm anyone... Elder Raphael pulls at your sleeve and whispers in your ear. Raphael ...I know. I've heard about your reputation, Player, and you have my faith. Raphael Elder Phetia is obstinate and conservative. You heard it, she has a huge misunderstanding about the Wonderland. Raphael If you accompany her and have a good time inside, I believe it will dispel her prejudice. Can I rely on you for this? Player, Option A This could also prove my innocence... Player, Option B Haha... Elder Phetia... Brace yourself! Raphael, Option A only Alright! Then I'll leave everything to you! Phetia, Option B only Eeek! Don't come any closer! Phetia If I were to flee... Player will go harm others...! Phetia Player! I'll keep a close eye on you! I won't allow any reckless actions! Thus, under a significant misunderstanding, you and Elder Phetia venture into this Elf Wonderland together.
