The Cult

Hoping this is the right section, I don't know my way around this forum. ._.

In any case, this game is based off of a fic I'm doing on two other sites. This is mostly copypasted from one of those sites. Ignore the usernames of the staff, since you guys wouldn't know anything about them. However, the game and fic do include actual users on both of the sites the fic is on.

Intro
Most of this is the prologue of the fic.
Deep within a land that exists outside of common logic, a colosseum exists...
This ancient colosseum housed many spectacular battles...
It was this colosseum that would forever change the lives of four semi-normal people....

The colosseum fell from the sky. The four on stage looked at it in surprise and disbelief.
“I think it should be tested out,” One of the four said. “Kudamon, why don’t you go in?”
Another of the four, Kudamon, looked sharply at his comrade. “Are you kidding?”
“No.”
Kudamon groaned and stepped into the colosseum. “Nate, if I die, I’m going to kill you…”
The one called Nate laughed a bit, then said, “Now go get your armor, and I'll see what it comes with. Let’s see...”
Kudamon got into his armor and muttered, “I have four minutes to live…”
Nate, meanwhile, was looking at various buttons on a small dashboard-type thing built into the wall. “Spartans, Trojans, huntresses, lions… Hmm, a Minotaur.”
Kudamon looked over. “What?” He asked sharply. “Minotaur?”
Nate grinned and pressed a button. Almost instantly, a Minotaur materialized in the middle of the colosseum. The audience leaned forward, ready to watch the fight.
Kudamon groaned again. “Damn, I’m never getting out of this colosseum alive…”
Nate smiled and pressed another button, this time getting a bag of popcorn.
“Don’t I get a sword or something?” Kudamon asked, a note of panic in his voice.
One of the other two, who had seemed to be in a conversation before this, tried to lend Kudamon his spare Death Ray, but Nate nodded and pressed a third button, and a sword appeared in midair right in front of Kudamon. Nate grinned and pressed yet another button, and the Minotaur charged.
Kudamon stood there for a second, sword held loosely, and Nate sighed and said, “I’d suggest a sidestep… right about… now!”
Kudamon leapt aside, and the Minotaur charged past him. However…
“Someone press the pause button!” Kudamon yelled.
Nate and the guy who’d tried to lend Kudamon the Death Ray sprang for the pause button. Nate pressed it a split second after the other guy.
The fourth person, a girl who’d been screaming at the crowd for money, blinked and asked, “What? There was a pause button here?”
“This colosseum is awesome,” Nate laughed.
The other guy raised an eyebrow. “We both pushed it. Wouldn’t that unpause everything?”
“Umm…”
The four turned to see the Minotaur charging into the stands.
Nate screamed, “The Minotaur is loose!”
Kudamon realized he was still holding the sword and threw it at the Minotaur point-first while the others were yelling, “Get it!”
The point struck the Minotaur, which promptly disintegrated.
“Woah,” Nate said. “Nice shot.”
The other guy, meanwhile, got hit by parts of the Minotaur that hadn’t disintegrated. He grimaced and said, “Gross.”
Kudamon laughed. “Bad luck, Giga… Now, Nate, let’s see you give it a shot…”


Eventually this colosseum appeared whenever someone new came to the show, and it became a sort of initiation as they steadily formed the cult. Kudamon became the leader- by both votes- and so they continued, building their cult and extending it past just humans.

Plot
After being stranded in the middle of nowhere during a storm, the player(henceforth referred to as "Hirro"/"Hirroine", and yes, the names are puns on "hero"/"heroine" respectively) wanders in the direction of HQ. Upon finding us, he recieves an initiation and is placed in the ranks of the cult.
Very shortly after the initiation, the game picks up the fic's storyline.
---
In the first section of the game, Hirro must help the cult defeat a man named Drake Kuro, who is capturing a trio of dragons- Cassiel, Charos, and even Deathstorm- who are rumored to gain power when together. His goal is to use his Dracomancy on them and become nearly unstoppable. However, he flees when defeated.
In the second section, the game mostly takes place in the Hole of Ultimate Doom, the universe parallel to ours, the domain of the Shadow Drakes Pyrros, Ilatrya, and Kuthian. Kuro makes his return and, after luring us into the HoUD and brutally killing a cultist, attempts to collapse the HoUD with us inside it. We get out safely and confront Kuro once again, this time killing him, at least until the third section of the game...
Yes, I'm only going into the second third of the game, that's enough spoilers. XD
