# Prologue&#x20;

### Chapter I - *Faith Of The Void*

*After months of research, Weird Explorers have found a perfect place to build their home village. To power the village, they need a key element called <mark style="color:orange;">**Weirdonite**</mark>, an energy resource extremely rare to find. The last traces of Weirdonite date back to tales from decades ago that circulated among tribes, these tales narrated of <mark style="color:orange;">**a powerful wizard who sealed the Weirdonite reserve behind the Portal of Void, to prevent the evil forces from obtaining it.**</mark>*

*However uncertain, entering the other dimension seemed the only choice left.*\
*Weird Enchanters gathered in a circle and together chanted the formula to summon the Portal of Void. As soon as the Portal was opened, they noticed very strange things were happening,* \
*<mark style="color:orange;">**a Weird Ape passing through the portal changed shape and became a Voxel Weird Ape.**</mark>*

*The Weird Enchanters did their best to keep the portal open, but to pass through it needs to consume valuable materials. Fortunately,* *<mark style="color:orange;">**$WAC is composed of a precious alloy, enough to activate the portal**</mark>, so whenever a Weird Ape wants to pass through the portal <mark style="color:orange;">**it must pay a tribute of $WAC**</mark>. An alternative has been found by the Weird Scientists who have managed to <mark style="color:orange;">**synthesize a drink**</mark>* *that when consumed <mark style="color:orange;">**gives the Weird Ape the power to activate the portal**</mark>. This drink, called <mark style="color:orange;">**BananaCola**</mark>, is made from the best bananas in the jungle, but insurmountable production limits allow each Strange Ape to have only one banana available per day.*

*Once through the portal, the Voxel Ape must run and grab as much Weirdonite as possible.*\
*It would be too dangerous to start an expedition without any <mark style="color:orange;">**equipment**</mark>, which is why the <mark style="color:orange;">**Wise Ape taught to Ladies and Babies how to create catalysts for missions**</mark>. These essences have the power to glow a fluorescent color if found near the Weirdonite, <mark style="color:orange;">**this helps adventurers locate and take the loot**</mark>*.

Brave Apes that you are, you have joined forces to go on a mission to retrieve as much Weirdonite as possible to build our home village. This task will not be easy, as finding the Weirdonite is an epic adventure in itself. \
However, if you work together using everyone's skills and helping each other out when you can, you will surely succeed.

#### *Leave as Ape, come back as Hero, you will be rewarded by the community for your sacrifices.*
