premise
ARRIVAL

It happens in the blink of an eye.

One moment, you are home. Perhaps you are with your family, perhaps you are at work. It's a completely normal day . . . and then, suddenly, your stomach drops. You are overcome with a sudden sense of vertigo. You cannot see up, or down, or where you are.

And once that moment is over, you fall flat on your face. It's sunny, warm, with the tickling of glass. It takes a few moments for you to gain composure, to catch your breath. When you open your eyes, no one is there.

You are surrounded by ancient stone buildings, with carvings you do not recognize etched into the stone. The place looks deserted, with crumbling architecture, remnants of clothing strewn all over the place... as if a natural disaster walked through, and no one was around to clean up the aftermath.

There's a sense of nausea, overwhelming and sudden, when you realize you aren't in Kansas anymore.

THE TEMPLE OF BEGINNINGS

You are soon found by a young man, dressed plain clothing. He looks absolutely exhausted, as if he hasn't slept in a few days. He greets you dismissively, as he continues his explorations of the abandoned looking site... but eventually, you come to find out that his name is Kathashun. And when he greets you, it isn't with a lot of good news.

I know you must have a lot of questions, but I do not have time to answer them all. So please, keep quiet, and allow me to explain as much as I can.

You're in a place known as the Temple of Beginnings. It was inhabited by members of a group of world-jumpers known as the Circle, and run by a god-like figure named Astoria.

Most of the Circle is gone. So is Astoria. We have no idea what happened here, or why this place exists, but we have to find out. Quickly. The universe is cracking at the seams, the Void that brought you here is expanding, and we must stop it before it swallows the universe whole.

I know it is a lot to absorb, and I know you were brought here against your will. So was I... so please, find a place to stay, and get your bearings. We need to be prepared to move, soon.

WELCOME TO ACATALEPSY

Acatalepsy is a plot-driven survival/fantasy RPG. Your character was pulled, involuntarily, through a gap in the universe known as the Void, and you have arrived here against your will... seemingly by accident. Your canon powers do not work, nor do your magical items. However, you seem to have been granted some strange new ability... a magic power previously granted by the Temple's former benefactor, Astoria, has now been passed onto you by the Temple itself.

That gift can be anything from creating fire to creating spontaneous birthday cakes to rain from the sky for about an hour. How this magical ability is granted to you properly, Kathashun has no idea... but it seems to be working, so there's that, at least?

Your primary objective, now, is to survive. The Temple is in shambles and it seems as if you do not have a lot of ready-made food. You need to find shelter, but Kathashun warns you not to get too comfortable. Your first mission as a member of the Circle awaits, and it seems the only way to get home is to find someone powerful enough to send you there.

Hang on tight, and good luck. You're gonna need it.

NOTE: Acatalepsy is currently in Chapter Two of the story. For a look at the first premise of the game, check here.
