"In a lawless wasteland, trying to enforce your law among the rogue is what gets most killed. The second thing that gets most killed... Is the choice to step inside a world that hasn't asked for you or your intervention."

Across the world of DnG, countless crimes that would shake up more than one happen on a daily basis, despite the world peace that reigned across the continents. The Black Market, as people called the commercial underworld, was the place where the loot came in, and the loot came out, a place of cultural exchange where the word "illegal" was merely a suggestion, a way of living. For years, it remained a niche market, a place for the perversed to take place once and no more than that, but it was a certain event that triggered its golden era: The Resonance Of Neo-Veridia.

Once a bustling metropolis, a house of great technological and technomagical advancements of all sorts, situated on the west coast of the continent of Hourglast, the things that were brewing underneath tore it apart twenty years ago, taking thousands of lives and spitting nothing but dangers no other dungeon could produce. The tragedy was great, and its dangers were contained, but the niche market the Black Market housed saw an opportunity in there as soon as stories from reckless souls about powers beyond normal and weaponry spat like trash reached the wrong ears. And thus began the golden era of the Black Market.

It's been ten years since the golden era started, and with it, the formation of different groups that wanted answers, glory, justice, or something to get off. The desolated remains of Neo-Veridia became a warfare zone like few in the world, with its tight corners and the subterranean horrors hidden within, and wars arose over the smallest of loot, spitting the term 'Dungeon Warfare' like it was normal. And now, it's these very own ruins that will greet you, albeit your stance here will be determined by how greedy even the kindest of souls may be in secret.

WIN BIG AND DIE TRYING OR DIE TRYING AND MAKE SOMEONE ELSE WIN BIG AT YOUR EXPENSE!

Well, would you look at that? A scenario, after all these months without dropping one. Must be feeling extra lucky to drop something this big knowing it'll flop grandly, oi? And for free, nonetheless, so you don't say I'm doing this out of spite for myself or any of you, no. This is for the record, and for the record it shall be as you will chat with it and die countless times.

Alright, show's over; allow me to explain this more in-depth. As you might've guessed, this is a request by @bluemonday, as you might've guessed from my spoiler in my profile description. Originally made with emphasis on the Bandits, I went for the full experience, trying to make it as similar as Chornobyl in S.T.A.L.K.E.R while replacing science and physics with magic and a lotta more magic. Hope you don't mind the creative liberties I took with your request and the song, bucko, because I kinda had fun doing it all! If you need any further tweaking, just let me know!

Enjoy your present and see you around. Same for the rest of y'all oblivious souls; enjoy doing whatever you can do in this barren wasteland.
