Darkest Dungeon: Starting with the Legendary Exorcist Scenario

[A loosely Darkest Dungeon-inspired setting]

After transmigrating to the year 1777, a world where evil spirits and exorcists coexist, I awaken the role of a legendary exorcist.

It looks like the role is meant to guide me toward becoming an exorcist legend, but the choice is mine.

"Should I accumulate [Virtue], follow the path of righteousness, and become an agent of the divine who hunts evil spirits?"

"Or should I turn pain into fuel, become [Torment], and descend into darkness to give the wicked a taste of their own medicine?"

"Father, if I go easy on you, it'll be disrespectful to the orphans."

Benjamin's predecessor dreamed of becoming an exorcist, but was repeatedly scammed.

After taking the poor fool's place, he discovers that the people and evil spirits in this world of exorcists are equally terrifying.

Selling others out, betrayal, treachery, framing people: everything is about money.

To survive, he must use [Virtue] and [Torment] to navigate the competing forces in town after town.

Just as he earns back everything he once lost from the start and plans to pursue his dream of becoming an exorcist again, new crises come one after another…

Evil spirits breach the city walls, and everyone is gripped by fear;

The Industrial Revolution rises, and exorcists are no longer admired.

Swept along by the tides of the age, Benjamin enters the fray alone and becomes a power in his own right…

Many years later.

A biography based on Benjamin Hodd bursts onto the scene: The Legendary Exorcist's Guide to Self-Cultivation.

As he looks back over all the hardships along the way, he discovers...

Well, would you look at that. I've become this world's first anti-scam crusader!
