IDEA DESCRIPTION

Explained by the author.

Galagor the Prospector is a Strength-hero who breaks the enemy frontline to threaten their backline.

LORE & HISTORY

Unveil the backstory and characteristics of this idea.

In the past, Galagor was a prospector whose greed would cost him dearly. After collecting gold and powerful artefacts from many caves, he murdered his friends to keep all the items for himself. At first, Galagor felt powerful and without remorse. He was expecting to live a fulfilling life until the day of his death.

Years passed, people were born only to then die of old age, but Galagor hasn't aged. All of his riches were spent, everyone he knew passed away, but yet, Galagor remained young, far from death. All the joy and fun in his life was gone. Every attempt to end his life failed. As if the earth itself has cursed him with eternal, joyless life for his past crimes.

For centuries, Galagor tried to find even an ounce of happiness, yet nothing helped. Over the years, he heard of a legendary god remaining inside the core of this world, punishing those with darkness in their heart. This telling soon became a story, then a legend, then a myth. Galagor first didn't believe it, but as centuries went by, he became desperate for something. Death, joy, anything!

So he had a mission. To reach the world's core, to find this god, and to slay it, in hope to either die, or be finally happy once more...
