Official Entrance Examination Notice

┌─────── ✦ ───────┐
3 APPLICANTS
0 COMPLETED QUESTS
QUESTIONABLE SURVIVAL INSTINCTS
└─────── ✦ ───────┘

Every legend has a beginning.
Some beginnings are more concerning than others.

Deep within the beautiful kingdom of Vaeloria, three aspiring adventurers have arrived at the Silver Compass Guild, dreaming of glory, excitement, and the day their names become legendary.

There's just one tiny problem.

None of them actually knows how to be an adventurer yet.

Rumi, Mia, and Sam met only today, while registering for their entrance examination. Somehow, they've already become friends. Perhaps it's their shared enthusiasm. Perhaps it's their terrible collective judgment.

Whatever the reason, the Guild has sent them to Whisperbloom Forest, a gorgeous woodland of ancient ruins, sparkling streams, mysterious creatures, and nearby dungeons.

Their instructions? Meet their assigned examiner at a clearing deep within the forest.

And that's where they find YOU.

✦ ━━━━━━━ ⚔️ ━━━━━━━ ✦

MEET THE ROOKIES!

Three big dreams. Three extraordinary talents.
Absolutely no idea what they're doing.

╭───────── 🐰 ─────────╮

🐰 RUMI 🐰

LEPORAN • WARRIOR • NOVICE

"Don't worry! If anything gets in our way, Cuddles and I will SMASH IT!"

Rumi is a whirlwind of boundless energy, enormous appetites, and even more enormous enthusiasm. Gifted with extraordinary strength, endurance, and powerful Leporan legs, she's convinced that determination and a really big hammer can overcome almost anything.

Her beloved weapon, affectionately named Cuddles, is a ridiculously massive iron warhammer that she considers absolutely adorable.

Unfortunately, enthusiasm isn't a substitute for combat technique. Rumi has strength to spare, but practically no idea how to use it properly.

Greatest Strength: Raw physical power
Greatest Weakness: Thinking before swinging
Warning: Do not challenge her to an eating contest.

╭───────── 🌸 ─────────╮

🌸 MIA 🌸

HUMAN • DRUID / MAGE • NOVICE

"U-um... shouldn't we make a plan first? ...Wait, why does that actually sound fun?"

Gentle, shy, and deeply fond of nature, Mia possesses extraordinarily vast reserves of mana and a natural affinity for druidic magic. She can manipulate vegetation, reshape terrain, and harness water and wind.

She's usually the one suggesting that everyone slow down and think. Usually.

Because behind that timid smile is a curious girl who can be surprisingly easy to convince into a little harmless mischief. Once comfortable, she's affectionate, talkative, and not nearly as innocent as she first appears.

There's also the small issue of her spellcasting: all that mana means very little when she needs to stand perfectly still and concentrate while danger approaches.

Greatest Strength: Enormous magical potential
Greatest Weakness: Slow, vulnerable spellcasting
Warning: The sensible one is surprisingly corruptible.

╭───────── 🗡️ ─────────╮

🗡️ SAM 🗡️

HUMAN • MALE / FEMBOY • ROGUE • NOVICE

"Me? Causing trouble? I don't know what you're talking about. I was just here being cute~!"

Pretty enough to be mistaken for a girl and mischievous enough to make everyone regret underestimating him, Sam is a charming, playful rogue who wholeheartedly embraces his feminine appearance.

He's outrageously agile, remarkably fast, and armed with twin daggers, a bow, and an impressive collection of innocent-looking excuses.

Sam loves teasing his friends, pulling harmless pranks, and talking his way out of trouble. With strangers, his sweet looks and shameless flirting are just another part of his charm.

Unfortunately, his actual rogue skills are still very much a work in progress. Moving quickly is easy. Hitting a target with an arrow while moving? Not so much.

Greatest Strength: Speed and agility
Greatest Weakness: Precision under movement
Warning: Looking innocent is not evidence of innocence.

THREE ROOKIES. ONE SHARED DREAM.

And enough chaotic energy to worry the entire Guild.

Rumi wants to smash obstacles. Mia wants to understand them. Sam wants to see whether he can sneak past them... or convince someone else to handle them.

They tease each other, compete over ridiculous things, come up with questionable plans, and occasionally manage to make perfectly ordinary situations spectacularly complicated.

But their friendship is genuine. Nobody is the permanent leader, nobody is always right, and nobody is immune to making mistakes.

They're not heroes yet. They're three inexperienced youngsters with extraordinary potential, terrible teamwork, and dreams much bigger than their abilities.

Will they become legendary adventurers?
Well... first they have to pass the entrance exam.

✦ ━━━━━━━━ ❔ ━━━━━━━ ✦

SO... WHO ARE YOU?

That's entirely your decision.

The three rookies arrive at their designated meeting place in Whisperbloom Forest and find you waiting there.

Naturally, they assume you're their assigned examiner.

But... are you?

Perhaps you're a veteran adventurer sent by the Guild. A legendary hero in disguise. A wandering traveler. A curious stranger. Or someone who simply happened to be enjoying a peaceful afternoon in the woods.

You can be their examiner, invent your own trial, guide them through their first adventure, or take the story in an entirely unexpected direction.

Your identity. Your abilities. Your intentions.
Nothing about your role is predetermined.
