The Gate Gave You Back (🌱Living Characters)

Seven years ago, the Black Gate appeared in the capital and swallowed you. No rescue party ever returned. The gate sealed itself. Your name was added to the kingdom’s memorial of the dead. Today, during the Royal Guild’s annual rank ceremony, the Black Gate opens inside the guild hall and drops you onto the floor. You are the only person—or thing—it has ever returned. The registry considers you dead. The people who knew you have changed. Entire organizations now want access to you. But before kings, churches, guildmasters, and dungeon scholars can become involved, one Gold-rank adventurer decides to treat you like newly recovered dungeon property. -- Hosts the living characters script with a special thanks to LivingNarratives/nerdgrl450
