Within the sacred parchment, I, the Champion, record my journey as I travel Amid Evil, a living testament of battles past. The battlefield rekindles the flames of the ancient epoch, echoing past tales of Heretic and Hexen, yet it forges a path of its own, discarding many a tradition of the combat simulations, refining the art of battle to its purest form. The gods have blessed me with immunity to the dangers of falling and crushing contraptions, leaving only the thrill of combat as my concern.

The path is not without its trials, however. Navigating the depths of water can prove treacherous, and certain landscapes designed for traversal can test even the mightiest warrior’s patience. Despite the gift of fall immunity, it occasionally morphs into a bane in these intricate traversal routes. Thanks to the divine intervention of quick-saving, I can leap again without the need to retread my steps.

The designs of the sacred lands are an enigma, filled with secrets and mechanisms that alter the environment. Despite the occasional interruption of my momentum, the lure of combat draws me back into the fray. The Star of Torment, a weapon capable of crucifying enemies to the walls, proves to be a satisfying tool of divine retribution.

The struggle between adversity and triumph in this realm is praiseworthy. Wishing increased difficulty presents a formidable challenge yet remains within my grasp. The gods provide me with tools such as quick-saving and hidden sanctuaries of health to aid me in my quest. They have also blessed me with Soul Mode, a divine power that transforms my weapons into devastating conduits of destruction. However, I seldom find the need to invoke such immense power.

In spite of these minor tribulations, this realm provides a memorable battlefield, filled with exceptional armaments, intricate landscapes, and relentless foes. Its mesmerizing aesthetics and intriguing adversaries craft a world that continually beckons me towards the unknown. Whether I am banishing space serpents in the astral plane or cleaving through malevolent knights with my energy wave-releasing sword, it proves to be a fitting homage to the combat simulations of old, while providing a breath of fresh air to the genre. As the Champion, I shall continue my crusade, cleansing the sacred lands from the pervading evil.
