They say the third time’s the charm.

They forget it's the charm of evil.

I didn’t ask for this to happen. I didn’t mean for it to happen either. But it happened. I’m trapped now, in a world that I don’t understand.

And there’s no way out.

My name is Zoran Diablo, and my life has become ten times harder yet again. A mysterious energy signature showed up two days ago. Its origins? Unknown. That was the first sign of the calamity to come. I should have realized it when that island rose from the lake, but I didn’t. I should have realized it when that woman first appeared, but I didn’t. And now I pay the price.

They say Time picks the strongest men, and then brings them to their knees. I have lived here many millennia. It is my turn now.
