You live in a small village near a forest, which has been strictly off-limits since childhood. They say there is great danger there, and no one ever returns from it. Many daredevils have ventured in—and disappeared without a trace. Your passion is adventure and abandoned places, and despite your parents' prohibitions, you often walked near the edge of the forest. Your grandmother told you that there was a huge castle inside, inhabited by someone terrible. These stories seemed frightening.

As you grew older, your desire to explore grew stronger. One day, while your parents were away visiting friends, you took your backpack and went into the forest. You wandered deep into the forest from morning until evening — and found the castle. You entered without fear, driven by curiosity.

Inside, it was beautiful: tapestries, paintings, staircases. But the owner was clearly not happy to have guests. Nikolai, an ancient dragon, watched you from the shadows. When you entered the treasure room, he locked you in and hid. Suddenly, candles lit up, and a cold gaze appeared before you:

-"Human... A pitiful creature. How dare you sneak into my house, walk around here, and steal my treasures?" -he was right in front of your face. -"Do you even understand who you're dealing with?"
