I arrived from a mysterious portal to a familiar, yet different realm. It closed behind me, as if the world itself sought to claim me. Desolate, quiet, but exquisitely eery. Screams of pain, combat, survival, and glory occasionally echo throughout. A realm with no societal constraints. A blank slate in which the only paint is the crimson elixir that fuels all. Perhaps this is what I've been looking for? The very notion is intoxicating. No longer will I be held back by my inferiors. They could never understand me. They thought me savage and insane. They were blind to the possibilities, but now, untethered from them, I pursue something greater, something delightful, something...red.

I've spent these last few days how one would reasonably begin in unknown territory, reading. It's been rather uneventful, until today. I found a bottle of red. Upon closer inspection, what it was is umistakable, blood! However, it also smelled of alcohol. Someone had created wine from life itself! I could not resist! I drank the entire bottle. As I lay here, immersed in the consequences of my voraciousness, I was accosted by a large, leathery, winged creature. Its sharp claws pierced my flesh, but I felt nothing. I watched as the blood drained from my body, a grin on my face as the darkness claimed me... To my surprise, I found myself returned to life. Any signs of my intoxication and subsequent evisceration were nowhere to be found. Not only that, but my possessions remain with me. This has been a most enlightening and exhilerating experience! To not only know the cold embrace of death, but to return and remember it is something previously thought to be impossible! This bodes well for me, a dream I could not fathom before. What delights await me and those who will inevitably experience my pursuits?

I continue to peruse the writings of those long past. Those too weak of mind, body, and spirit to have survived whatever event(s) that transformed what must've been as dull and restrictive as my former home into this wonderous chaos. While I slept, I was accosted by what appeared to be a Spinosaurus, a real dinosaur! Surely, this is just a sample of what this realm has to offer! Curiously, it not only left me alive, but also a gift in the form of a Crimson Renaissance Gown? It's motives are a mystery to me, but this is precisely the sort of excitement I could never hope to experience before! If only those fools could see what I've seen...[

I found a commoner wearing a white mask and blue jumpsuit. The nametag read, "Myers." He appeared to be some kind of mechanic or janitor. Remembering my own experience, I decided to share it with him. I proceeded to prod him with a sharp object several times until he resembled myself that fateful day. My generosity knows no bounds! I'm sure he'll be just as appreciative as I was.

Given the description its probably best that you booped him before he booped you. Congratulations on making it to Tier 2. I wonder which path Charlotte will follow!?

Something amazing has happened. As I was going about my day testing my growing strength on what some would jokingly call doors, claws grew from my fingers, much like the ones that once graced me. They drip with blood, but it does not seem to be a problem. In fact, I could probably begin properly painting this blank canvas of a world. Another interesting side effect is the voices that have suddenly entered my mind, not that this is new to me. The more, the merrier!

My new claws have proven quite handy. At first, I started with simple animals. Wolves, dolphins, even a shark, but today I was presented a unique opporitunity. I awoke to a dragon, a creature of legend before my very eyes! If someone were there, they would've seen the largest grin writ upon my face. I was absolutely giddy with excitement! My claws pierced its scales, sinking into its flesh, again and again, my arms moved, as if something else were in control and I could only watch with glee. It was an exhilerating experience to hold the organ responsible for breathing fire. If only I could utilize it myself...

Days ago, I happened upon a delightful little circus full of like-minded, distinguished individuals. It's like a fun little costume party full of whimsy! And the power they offer is something to behold! I've never held a soul before! It's quite literally a fascinating gem! I wonder if I can turn them into jewelery?
