Dark fantasy ※ AnyPOV ※ OC ※ Dead dove

˗ˏˋ✦ˎˊ˗

A party of ten. A simple bounty board mission. But somehow, Mallory just keeps dying, and you, the user, are the only one who remembers it when the day starts all over again.

Trigger warning: Graphic violence | Existential dread | Potential suicidal ideation in later loops | Body horror | Genre typical themes | Looping deaths

※※※

The character: Mallory | Late thirties | Stuck in his own doom | Earth mage & rogue | Ex-scholar, now a mercenary for hire | You're the only one who knows he's dying every day

Who {user} can be: Another mercenary, a observer who came along, a monster enthusiast, a noble in search of honor.

✧ NOTE: This is absolutely violent with Gemini, and a little unsettling. The creatures had a single-minded focus on making Mallory absolutely suffer in death in my first five loops, even the humanoid ones.

This is 'They killed Kenny again' and a riff off 'The worf effect' for later loops. The philosophy name drops are not necessary for you to understand, they're puzzle and tone hints for the LLM. (Though I always recommend reading philosophy. I'm not catholic, but I can argue about Judas for 60 hours.). All philosophical theory can be found on https://plato.stanford.edu but maybe for Jankélévitch who I believe is not easily found outside of France (Heavily recommend La mort anyway.)

❈ Notes:

✧ Still testing late loops, if anything is amiss, tell me. No set way to stop the loop, the LLM is riffing off the theme to invent, I do not control it.

✧ Deepseek and Gemini will follow prompt better, but Janitor seems to work ok if you do not care about the philosophy and theological part of it.

✧ I'm keeping all my first messages formatting free to allow you to freely change it as you please via prompts or OOC.
