Lost Hong Kong: Wizard and Dungeon

You woke up from your sleep, and found that you were in a cold prison cell. Except for walls and iron bars, not even a window for light can be found in this narrow area. Your head hurts…how did you get here? You looked outside the fence, and there was an old study room with books neatly arranged on the shelves.

In the legend, there was a long-lost magic ritual developed by the great wizards who were the ancestors of the Magic World. The ritual needs to be performed on the night of the full moon, which is the moment when the power of the moonlight is strongest. If successful, it can swap and transfer any form of energy, such as swapping souls, moving mountains and filling the seas…even reverse light and dark. But there was a serious secret concern in this magic ritual.

Among the many wizard factions, there’s a faction that advocates dark magic. They’ve always maintained the balance of the Magic World with other wizard factions of light magic. Dark magic is a very important part of the Magic World, but it’s also very dangerous: As darkness could spawn from light, yet it could never produce light. Some people in the black magic faction have always thought that it is unfair to the dark that the world is dominated by light magic. Therefore, if the method of the ritual falls into the hands of these evil wizards from the dark magic faction, the order of the Magic World will be reversed. Once the darkness has taken over the world, there will be no more light – including the light of the full moon that’s necessary for the ritual. Since this is an irreversible situation, the ritual is considered as a taboo. In order to prevent future generations from discovering and misusing it, the great wizards hid the scroll that has a record about the ritual. This primal magic has been lost since then. 

After years of searching, an evil wizard of the dark magic faction actually found that secret scroll of the forbidden ritual. Tonight is the night of the full moon. If the ritual has successfully completed, dark magic will rule everything. All life that exists with the light will have nowhere to escape…until the end of being wiped out.

Yes…you remember. In order to find the scroll and destroy it, you sneaked into the hideout of the evil wizard to investigate. When you got inside the wizard’s secret dungeon and were about to rummage through everything, you felt some sort of slam on the back of your head and you went blackout…this was the last thing you remember before you lose consciousness. 

You saw a timer in the room counting down to 45 minutes. Is the evil wizard preparing something for the ritual? If so, he should be back when the time is up…Hurry, find the scroll and get out of this dungeon before he comes back!
