Presenting new lore from the Dark Shogun:
Ninja was not his real name, of course. It was just a nickname he gave himself when he was a kid, fascinated by the tales of the ancient warriors of Japan. He liked to imagine that he was one of them, stealthily infiltrating enemy castles, fighting with swords and shuriken, and escaping with a smoke bomb. But in reality, Ninja was just an ordinary gas station attendant, living in a crowded city, with a boring job and no friends. He hated his life, and he often escaped into his fantasy world, where he was a hero, a master of martial arts, and a defender of justice.
One day, as he was walking home from work, he saw a poster on a wall. It was an advertisement for a new virtual reality game, called "Ninja World". The poster showed a realistic image of a ninja wearing a black mask and a hood, holding a katana and a kunai. The slogan" Enter the Ninja World and live your dream". Ninja felt a surge of excitement. He had always wanted to try a VR game, but they were too expensive for him. But this one was different. It was a free trial, for a limited time only. All he had to do was scan a QR code and he would receive a link to download the game on his smartphone. He quickly scanned the code and waited for the download to finish. He couldn't wait to play the game. He ran to his apartment, locked the door, and put on his VR headset. He launched the game and selected his avatar. He chose a male ninja, with black hair and eyes, and a scar on his cheek. He named him Ninja, of course.
He entered the game and found himself in a beautiful landscape. He was standing on a hill, overlooking a valley. He could see a village, a river, a forest, and a mountain. He felt a breeze on his face and heard the sounds of nature. He felt alive.
He looked at his inventory and saw that he had a sword, a dagger, a rope, and a map. He also had a mission. He had to infiltrate the enemy fortress, located on the other side of the mountain, and rescue the princess, who was held captive by the evil lord.
He had to do it before the sunset or the game would end. He smiled. This was his chance to prove himself as a ninja. He started to run towards the valley, ready for adventure. He didn't know that the game was more than just a game.
It was a trap, designed by a hacker, who wanted to steal his identity and his money. He didn't know that once he entered the Ninja World, he would never be able to leave.
