My journey started on the PC,
A brand-new world awaiting me.
I couldn\u2019t remember this game at all,
So this felt like my very first call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019d never walked this road before,
With hidden secrets to explore.
From the very start, I loved the game,
And every challenge that soon came.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To start my class, I chose with care,
Pyromancy\u2019s fire burned bright there.
For my gift, the Master Key,
Seemed like the perfect choice for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An ancient asylum, cold and gray,
Held me captive far away.
Its broken walls and silent halls
Echoed through those lonely walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A stranger appeared from high above,
A simple act of unexpected love.
He tossed a key into my cell,
Then vanished before I knew him well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alone inside those prison walls,
I searched the room from floor to halls.
The heavy door refused to move,
No matter what I tried to prove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then on the floor, a glimmer shone,
A little treasure all alone.
The Dungeon Cell Key caught my eye,
A welcome gift I couldn\u2019t deny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I picked it up without delay,
Then turned and made my careful way.
The rusty lock clicked open wide,
As freedom waited just outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One careful step, then one step more,
Into halls I\u2019d never seen before.
The journey had at last begun,
With countless battles yet to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some doors were sealed both firm and tight,
No amount of force could make them right.
Their heavy bolts refused to yield,
Each hidden path remained concealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then came a chamber dark and wide,
Where something monstrous lurked inside.
A towering Demon, fierce and tall,
Beyond the room\u2014I couldn\u2019t reach it at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Its mighty footsteps shook the floor,
A warning of the fights in store.
I looked ahead without much fear,
\u201cMy time will come\u2026 but not quite here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I turned away and chose to run,
For this first battle wasn\u2019t won.
I\u2019d grow much stronger by and by,
Then face that beast with head held high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s move ahead a little more,
To see what waits beyond the door.
A few Hollow soldiers wandered near,
They watched me close but showed no fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They stared at me from where they stood,
Yet never struck, which felt quite good.
I wasn\u2019t ready for a fight,
So leaving them alone felt right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The halls stretched farther down the way,
Inviting me to come and play.
Each corner held a brand-new sight,
With mystery hidden out of sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the far end, I looked around,
A lonely ladder there was found.
So up I climbed one rung at a time,
Until I reached the top to climb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two different pathways met my eyes,
Each one held another surprise.
A bonfire glowed with gentle light,
A peaceful rest after my fright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I lit the fire and took a seat,
Its warming flames felt calm and sweet.
The crackling embers danced so bright,
Driving back the endless night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I searched the menu one more time,
Expecting leveling to be mine.
But no such option could I see\u2014
Not enough souls had come to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So back I stood without delay,
And carried on along my way.
The journey waited just ahead,
With greater dangers still to tread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One doorway there was locked up tight,
The other opened just right.
I stepped inside with cautious pace,
Exploring every shadowed place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few more footsteps, calm and slow,
Then suddenly\u2014a crushing blow!
The mighty demon crashed below,
Its thunder shook the halls below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Without a pause, I turned and ran,
Escaping just as fast I can.
Another doorway came in sight,
I sprinted there with all my might.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I almost reached the open door,
Just one more step to safety\u2019s floor.
I slipped inside and shut it tight,
Escaping from the Demon\u2019s might.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The heavy door stayed firmly closed,
The raging beast could not impose.
Safe inside, I caught my breath,
Escaping what could have been death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another bonfire burned nearby,
Its gentle flames caught my eye.
I lit the fire and took my rest,
Preparing for another test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Again I checked to level high,
But still the choice passed me by.
No souls to spend, no strength to gain\u2014
I\u2019d simply have to fight again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So onward went my one-hand quest,
Determined always to do my best.
Each careful step would help me see\u2026
