Once upon a time, in an age long forgotten by the passing of time and the ending and beginning of universes. A boy was born. This was no ordinary boy though. He was born with the spark of magic fused into his very core. He was destined to become a force of nature itself. The boy became known as The Summoner.
The Summoner was a powerful mage who had traversed many worlds and realms, seeking out new challenges and foes to conquer. He had encountered many powerful adversaries on his travels, but none as fearsome as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Pestilence, War, Famine, and Death were ancient beings, summoned by a dark God to wreak havoc and destruction wherever they went. They had existed since the dawn of time and had been responsible for countless atrocities throughout history.
The Summoner had first encountered the Horsemen on a battlefield in an ancient civilization that excelled at war. He had been summoned by the Emperor to aid in the war against the barbarian hordes and had found himself facing off against War, who rode atop a massive red steed, wielding a sword that glowed with a sickly red light. The Summoner had been forced to use all of his magical powers to defeat War and had emerged victorious, but only just.
Over the centuries, The Summoner had battled the Horsemen on numerous battlefields, each time facing a different iteration of the four. He had come to know their strengths and weaknesses and had developed a strategy for taking them down one by one. He had defeated them all at one point or another, but the battles had become increasingly intense, and the Horsemen had grown more powerful with each passing year.
In the last world, The Summoner had met the Horsemen once again. They had been summoned by a powerful sorcerer who sought to destroy the world and rule over the ashes. The Summoner had been called upon by the leaders of the world's various factions to aid in the fight against the dark forces and had found himself facing off against Pestilence, the Horseman of Disease.
The battle had been long and brutal, with The Summoner using every trick in his arsenal to stay ahead of the Horseman. He had summoned demons to fight on his behalf, cast powerful spells that created walls of fire and ice, and even managed to bind Pestilence with enchanted chains. But just as he thought he had won, the other three Horsemen arrived on the battlefield, joining forces to take down The Summoner once and for all.
The Summoner fought valiantly, but he was outnumbered and outmatched. The Horsemen worked together, each using their unique powers to weaken him further. Death summoned a horde of undead soldiers to attack The Summoner, War charged at him with his sword raised high, and Famine caused the ground to wither and die beneath his feet. Pestilence had been freed from his chains and joined in the attack, his poisonous touch weakening The Summoner's spells.
In the end, The Summoner fell, his body broken and his magic drained. The Horsemen stood victorious, their mission complete. But instead of killing The Summoner, they decided to banish him to another realm, a place where his magic would be weaker and his powers diminished. The Horsemen knew that if they killed him he would just come back in another time and another place sooner or later. Instead, they decided to seal him into an object and banish him to another realm, where it would be a long time before he rose to power again, if ever.
The Horsemen summoned the elements of the earth and called upon the power of their Dark God to create a powerful magical artifact. They imbued the object with their own power, ensuring its indestructibility, and they sealed the Summoner inside it. They then combined their magics again to curse the Object. Any who tried to use it would suffer from this curse, and the Artifacts powers would reset with each new user. Thus extending the time it took for The Summoner to return to power even longer. The object was then hurled into a portal that led into the vastness of space between realms, far beyond the reach of the living.
As the Summoner was banished from this realm, he screamed and cursed the Horsemen with all his might. He swore that he would find a way to return to power and seek revenge upon those who had banished him, one way or another. And so the artifact that used to be The Summoner drifted in the Ether for millennia, before falling into a strange world. The Artifact fell to the planet as a great ball of fire. This attracted the attention of a being of this world.
The first to find The Summoners Rolodex was a powerful demon, known for his insatiable hunger for power. He eagerly picked up the ancient artifact, hoping to gain new knowledge and increase his strength. But as he delved deeper into its depths, he became consumed by the darkness of the curse within. The power he had sought was too much for him to handle, and he was consumed by it, his soul lost to the void.
Next came a group of wizards, seeking to unlock the secrets of magic hidden within the Rolodex. They poured over its secrets for days on end, their eyes growing wide with wonder at the knowledge contained within. But as they delved deeper, they found themselves falling deeper into the abyss, their minds twisting and warping under the weight of the knowledge they had gained. The Rolodex could have only one "Master", and in the end, they were consumed by madness and jealousy, their bodies left broken and lifeless.
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
A band of warriors came next, their swords and shields at the ready as they discovered the final resting place of those mages, where they found the Rolodex. They hoped to find the secrets of battle and strategy, to gain the edge they needed to defeat their enemies. But as their leader became the "Master" of the Rolodex, the man slowly began to have his mind warped by the curse. He found himself becoming more and more aggressive, his mind clouded by rage and fury. They turned on each other, their blades clashing in a frenzy of violence until not a single one was left alive.
Finally, a young prince came across the Rolodex, hoping to use its power to save his kingdom from ruin. He had heard tales of its power and knew that with its help, he could turn the tide of battle and emerge victorious. But as the Prince used it, he found himself becoming more and more distant from his people, his mind consumed by the weight of the knowledge he had gained. He became a tyrant, ruling with an iron fist and leaving destruction in his wake. In the end, he died alone, his kingdom in ruins and his name forgotten by history.
And so the Rolodex lay forgotten, its power and knowledge lost to the ages. Those who had sought it had all met the same terrible fate, consumed by the darkness within. It was a cautionary tale, a warning to all who would seek power without understanding the cost. Sometimes, the greatest power can be the most dangerous of all.
But the Summoners Rolodex was not entirely forgotten. There were still some who knew of its existence, and among them was a young mage named Lyra. She had studied the legends of the Rolodex for years, and she believed that she was the one who could wield its power without succumbing to its darkness. Lyras's knowledge of magic was only outstripped by her hubris.
Lyra was determined to unlock the secrets of the Rolodex, but she knew that she could not do it alone. She assembled a group of adventurers, each with their own unique skills and abilities, and together they set out on a perilous journey to find the ancient relic. They faced many dangers along the way, from treacherous mountains to dark forests filled with monsters.
But Lyra and her companions were determined, and they pressed on, driven by their desire for knowledge and power. Finally, after months of travel, they came upon a hidden fortress deep in the heart of a forbidding desert. There, at the bottom of the ruined fortress, lay the Summoners Rolodex, its ancient magic casting a glow about the room.
Lyra stepped forward and reached out to take the Rolodex, but as her fingers touched its surface, she felt a sudden surge of power. She stumbled back, gasping for breath, and for a moment, she feared that she too would succumb to its darkness.
But then, something strange happened. The Rolodex seemed to sense Lyra's determination and her purity of heart, and it began to glow with a soft, golden light. Lyra felt a warmth spreading through her body, and she knew that the power of the Rolodex was hers to command. She wasn't free of the curse, but she seemed able to resist it to some extent.
Lyra spent months studying the secrets of the Summoners Rolodex, with her companions they traveled far and wide adding to the Rolodex's catalog, and they emerged stronger than ever before. With its help, they defeated powerful foes and saved kingdoms from destruction. But Lyra never forgot the fate of those who had come before her, and she was always mindful of the dangers that lay within its depths.
In the end, Lyra became a legend in her own right, revered as a powerful mage and a wise leader. Her kingdom prospered under her rule, and her people flourished under her guidance. Her name was known far and wide, and tales of her magical prowess were told in every corner of the land. But with great power comes great danger.
And Lyra's legend grew so great that it caught the attention of a far-off warlord. This warlord had heard of Lyra's magic and her legendary wisdom, and he coveted it for himself. He saw her kingdom as a prize worth conquering, and so he set his sights on it.
Lyra knew of the warlord's intentions, and she prepared her kingdom for the inevitable invasion. She rallied her armies and fortified her borders. She called upon her most powerful ally, The Summoners Rolodex, to aid her in the coming battle. She hadn't needed to use The Rolodex in quite some time, but it was eager for the fight. The warlord arrived with his army, and the battle that ensued was epic.
Lyra's magic was a force to be reckoned with, and her army fought bravely against the invading forces. But the Warlord was not to be underestimated, and he had his own powerful magics at his disposal. The battle raged on for days, and both sides suffered heavy losses. But in the end, it was Lyra who fell first. The warlord had struck her down with a powerful spell, and her kingdom soon followed.
The Warlord, however, did not emerge from the battle unscathed. His army had been decimated, and all his allies lay dead. He had paid a heavy price for his conquest, and he soon realized that it was not worth the cost. As he lay dying on the battlefield, the warlord realized the true power of Lyra's magic and her wisdom. He realized that he had been foolish to think that he could conquer her kingdom and that he had underestimated her strength and the loyalty of her people.
And so, the Summoners Rolodex was lost to the ages yet again. Lyra's kingdom had been destroyed, but her legend lived on. The invaders had perished along with the kingdom they came to conquer. And the Warlord's name was forgotten, lost to the sands of time. Time passed until even The Summoners Rolodex had been forgotten by the inhabitants of this world.
The Summoners Rolodex was a powerful tool, containing the knowledge and secrets of one of the most powerful beings throughout the realms. Many had sought its power, hoping to use it to strengthen themselves and achieve their goals. But each and every one of them had failed, their hopes and dreams shattered by the terrible fate that awaited them. The Rolodex thought all was lost and that he would never again have a chance at returning to his former glory. Until one day an unfamiliar energy wrapped around him.
He was whisked away from the long-forgotten ruins of a once great and powerful kingdom. He found himself surrounded by darkness, until the darkness broke, and he found himself in a tiny room. He noticed that Slimes were starting to burst into the room. And that was when he met Bob.
