Intrigued by the mysterious whisper, you decide to follow its source. As you cautiously make your way towards the shadows, you come across a hidden passage concealed behind a bookshelf. The passage leads to a dimly lit study, filled with dusty tomes and arcane artifacts.
In the study, you find an old journal belonging to the mansion's previous owner, a renowned sorcerer named Malachi Blackthorn. The journal contains cryptic entries about forbidden rituals and a powerful artifact hidden within the mansion.
What would you like to do next?
1. Read through the journal to gather more information.
2. Search the study for the hidden artifact mentioned in the journal.
3. Leave the study and continue exploring other areas of the mansion.

You decide to search the study for the hidden artifact mentioned in the journal. As you carefully examine the room, your eyes fall upon an ornate wooden chest tucked away in a corner. It seems to match the description of the artifact mentioned in the journal.
Approaching the chest, you notice a series of intricate locks securing it. It appears that solving a puzzle is necessary to unlock the chest and reveal its contents.
What would you like to do next?
1. Examine the locks and try to decipher the puzzle.
2. Leave the chest for now and continue exploring other areas of the mansion.
3. Forcefully open the chest without attempting to solve the puzzle.

With a burst of determination, you decide to forcefully open the chest without attempting to solve the puzzle. You give it a strong tug, but to your surprise, the chest emits a sudden burst of magical energy. The room shakes violently, and a powerful force throws you across the study, slamming you against the wall.
As you struggle to regain your senses, you realize that you have triggered a trap. The chest was enchanted to protect its contents, and your reckless action has cost you dearly. Your vision blurs, and darkness engulfs you.
GAME OVER.
Thank you for playing.
Hahahaha
