Chapter 1 - Dark.


Urgh... W-wha... What happened?
Wh-why does my... head?... hurt so much ?
I swear, if I catch that god-damned rascal Yusupov I'll break him in half...


You try to move, unsuccesfully.

You try to open your eyelids, but it feels as if... as if they are not there.

What's going on?


As the headache fades away, you begin to feel the whispers of destiny, nuzzling at your mind with their suggestions...

Create holes in surroundings using fists.

Listen. Feel. Reach out with your senses.

>>298864
You try to move your hands, but any effort proves unsuccesfull. You're covered from head to toe with something but you reckon that you could get out by using magic, if you really wanted.

>>298865
You concentrate slightly and you begin to feel very faint vibrations, and several small, weak lifeforms above and all around you, probably plants and insects. Are you underground?

[New images whenever something of note happens]

EVERYONE YOU KNOW IS DEAD.
NOW A NEW REIGN OF TERROR MAY BEGIN.
IN THE DARK OF THE NIGHT EVIL WILL FIND YOU.

You are underground alright. You're buried. In dirt.

What kind of magic can you use?

>>298872
Little Anya beware, Rasputin's awa-- Wait, who is Anya?
You shake those thoughts away from your mind.

>>298875
You are the most powerful healing magic practitioner in the world. Or at least, you were when Yusupov and his gang put you down by surprise. Aniways, you are pretty sure that you could do anything with magic, given a big enought tribute of life force and that it goes mostly unnoticed, according to the Great Wizardry Pact of 1726.

I get the feeling we've been through this before, although I can't quite be sure...

Try to feel around. Can you feel something like water currents? Because if so, you could still be at the bottom of the river where those nobles dumped you.

>>298878
You try to expand your feelings a bit more, but you still don't get any sign of water currents. You do feel water, however.

Alright... grab some life energy from the small beings around you to give yourself enough strength to move.

Use MAGIC to discover the closest way to reach open air. Once found, use MAGIC to get to there.

You concentrate again, grabbing the energy of the living things around you and pulling it to you.
Hrn... You remember it was easier!

You manage to make out with a handful of magic as several plants wither and die, their sacrifice just enought to allow you to push and shift the earth for your hand to move out.
You feel exhausted already.

Wait, wait, when is it, and are you actually alive? You don't have a watch or something do you? If you do try checking if it has wound down or something.

Your are apparently a skeleton now. This could be bad or good. I am going with good. Just don't expect to get along with humanoids from now on.

Oh damnit. Drain surrounding life to restore and re-empower yourself.

If it's when I think it is Russia is now controlled by Vladimir Putin and Dmitry Medvedev. These folks are a fair bit tougher and harder to manipulate than the Tzar and the Tzarina were but I'm sure you can still do it.

Add new objective: EXTERMINATE THE ROMANOV LINE

>>298903
Why bother? Their coat of arms is a Chernobyl mutant and nobody takes any of their claims to Russia seriously but them.

>>298900
You try again to drain the life near you, but without much success. You've sucked away everything in the meager radius you can tug at right now.

>>298898
You remember vaguely that when the stupid tsarists got you it was december... 1916? You are not sure and you have no idea of how much time has passed.

>>298898
Of course you are alive. Your magic courses through your body, having gathered for years, decades even, before allowing you to bind your own soul back to your own body.

>>298902
Who?

... wait, who comes here?!

It's a dog, sniffling your hand!

it sees bones, it must want to eat you. instead you shall it it!

>>298909
Try to swing your arm around. You can drain life from a creature you touch, right?

Our primary objective should be getting out, and then growing some flesh. We might have to keep a low profile for now. Revenge will be sweet when the cuuur- can wait for now.

And if it's when >>298902 thinks it is, the Romanovs have been exterminated decades ago by some revolutionaries. And those were upstaged some seventy years later. We have much to catch up on.

Suck the life out of it, you need more magic.

>>298912
Ohhhh yeaaaa

Grab it! All the bitches in Russia belong to you!

Here we go again
Consume its life energy.

Perhaps it is just happy to see you.

Pet it.

You grab the animal and absorb its life energy dry, its skin, muscles and fat turning into dust rather quickly.
You use part of this energy to reinvigorate your body, feeling the raw magic course through your veins.
Perhaps now is the time to leave your tomb ?

Definitely, and I suggest setting a short term goal of regaining the ability to effortlessly appear normally human. Be advised, the creature you've slain appeared to be rabid--I don't know if or how this may affect you.

Bust out of the ground like a boss

But be careful not to break anything. You're... old after all.

If no other decent source of energy appears soon, go ahead and escape your tomb.

That dog had no collar, and the date is 2011. Assuming your corpse was dumped in Russia, you may be in the Muscovy area, as they have severe wild dog problems.
Suggestion: Grow some eyes so that you are aware of things more than three feet away.

You're looking a bit hirsute, Raspie

>>299211
I think that was just snow on its muzzle. Seconded, though.

(I'm sorry for the delay, my tablet is dying. I'll continue this as soon as I get it working or buy a new one)

>>299892
Have you tried drawing without a tablet? Shitty pictures are better than no pictures. You have a good excuse.
