As you make your way down a narrow stone corridor, the faint sound of rushing water echoes from somewhere unseen. The passage feels unnaturally cold, but there's a pull in the air that urges you forward. With every step, the stone walls grow darker, and the torchlight behind you fades until you're guided only by the mysterious, soft glow ahead.
The hallway opens into a cavernous chamber, the walls adorned with worn, faded murals of strange creatures—some you recognize, others defy explanation. In the center of the room stands a weathered pedestal, upon which rests a chest of curious design. Its surface is covered in strange, shifting symbols, almost as if alive, pulsing faintly with energy.
You approach the chest with caution, and the symbols grow still. With a deep breath, you place your hands on the lid and lift it. Inside, resting on a bed of black velvet, is a heavy, ancient tome.
The cover reads, "The Big Book of Internet Memes, Vol 6 - Dungeons and Dragons Memes." Your mind races at the unfamiliar terms: "Internet," "memes," "Dungeons and Dragons." What could it all mean? With curiosity outweighing confusion, you sit on the cold stone floor, place the book on your lap, and open it to the first page.
And so, your journey begins...
