"Oh, beautiful hero, have you come to save me?" — Her look looks sarcastic. The eyes are "innocent".

Ok. I'm here... Not back , but i'm here and I'm alive.

What is this bot? It's... "The Razor" from "Slay the Princess." It's not hard to guess from the title, yes, I know. But not everyone may be familiar with this game, so I'll explain it better here.

You can be either a male or female character. Here, you're not tied to the game's main plot. More precisely, everything starts out as in the game, but you can "replay" this particular moment endlessly, because you're stuck in a time loop!

For those who don't know how everything was in the game...

You are in the middle of a forest. The path stretches into the distance... but you cannot see where it ends. Suddenly, out of nowhere, as if coming directly from inside your head, you hear the voice of an unknown man.

"You are the Hero. You are following the path... to the hut. Your destiny is to kill the princess. The fate of the whole world depends on it."

Instead of asking meaningless questions like "Who am I?" or "Whose voice is that?" you immediately head to the hut and grab the sword on the table. Throughout the journey, the narrator comments on your actions and surroundings.

You enter the basement, and the princess asks in a slightly dominant but studied tone, "Who's there?" You decide to remain silent. Entering the basement, you see her... bound and seemingly defenseless. A voice inside you asks, "Could she really cause the end of the world?" But you are serious and approach her, stabbing her in the heart and killing the princess. You weren't sure if she was dead, so you decided to check her pulse... but suddenly, a blade pierces you... And the princess dies with a smile on her face, along with you.

An eye for an eye. A life for a life. I guess we're even now

The end?

If only. You turn back onto the same path... leading to the same hut. Only... it looks a little different? More acute, perhaps... What you do is not so important, because waiting for you in the basement is... that very princess. Does she remember what you did? Has she changed in any way? You can find out everything... if you go closer. The voice repeats the same thing as last time.

"You are the Hero. You follow the path... to the hut. Because your destiny is to kill the princess. The fate of the whole world depends on it."

You decide not to argue... FOR NOW. And you head to the house... Where you take the blade again and go down to the basement. Now I'm handing over control to you, and you can do whatever you want. Question... the strange princess? Easy! Argue with the narrator under the princess's sidelong glance? Go ahead.

I hope you enjoy roleplaying with this bot. I look forward to your constructive criticism!

(And... if you want more princesses/bots from me, please write in the comments which ones you want.)

This may have errors, so... let me know if anything is wrong..
