...

I...having been knocked out from something...Something...I feel like...I think I have amnesia. I can not remember anything from back then...before I was knocked out...

However...I do remember what happened after...

I woke up in a grassy field, full of vegetation, animals and wildlife. I had wondered where I was. I saw many critters, ranging from bunnies, birds and etc., to things like worms and grasshoppers...

Yet one thing I thought was strange...There was a person who also passed out and got thrown in here...

Eventually I waited for a bit, and he opened his eyes slowly and woke up. "You...Who are you?", I ask.

The strange person says "I'm your guide. Andrew, the guide. I'm the one, who can help you survive in these strange lands.". I saw that he somehow knew a lot of things about this strange land, albeit having claimed that he hasn't been here ever before.

Eventually however, I asked -

"Why are we here? What is our purpose in these lands? Is there a purpose?"

He replied.

"Well....There is. A long time ago, years and years ago, there was a ruler of these lands, Cthulhu and his brother, the Moon Lord. The two brothers worked together to develop the lands, and the wildlife...the caverns...the vegetation...Everything.

Soon, they decided to make something...Some one... A human. The humans populated more and more until the universe of Terraria had tons. They started doing horrible things however, such as killing the wildlife and breaking all of the beautiful trees and chopping the green vegetation, which made the two angry. To put an end to this, they attempted to make another kind of life.

The monsters.

Soon they made many different monsters, ranging from slimes, zombies and flying eyeballs to extremely big eyeballs, a floating skull and a giant worm. The latter three I mentioned? They were the first 3... "bosses", to face the humans and attempt to put a stop to this.

However this made it worse, as the humans did it more and more to attempt reaching the 3 'bosses', chopping trees and cutting more vegetation than ever. They used the two brothers' creations to get rich, get extremely good armor, and also weapons. This made them mad. They would erase the humans completely, however their power had increased too much for them to be able to, with the armor and the weapons. They invented more monsters as they got madder at the player. One point they created the king of all slimes. At another, a giant brain monster, and also a giant wasp to sting the humans. None worked however, as the humans had managed to defeat all of the different bosses because of their levelled up gear.

They were thinking of making the different bosses impossible to reach by a mere mortal human, however that was not in their capabilities. Rather, they went another way. They had made a lot of bosses, including 3 metallic complex and hard versions of the first 3 boss monsters they had made, a big petal monster, a mud golem that the lihzahrdian people worship, and a giant fish monster. They had locked it all behind a horrifying monstrosity, a big wall of the flesh of the humans that managed to not defeat the different bosses the two brothers had created, which was also locked in the deep, fiery depths of hell.

They thought that it was perfect, and they would be able to stop the humans even if they manage to get past the giant wall of flesh.

No. It did not work.

They had gotten corrupt. their minds turned into evil. The corruption had spread from their mind to across the land of Terraria. Not all different 'worlds' had the corruption, however.

Somewhere along the line, Cthulhu had died. His body parts, blood and bones had all spread, scattered across the many worlds that did not contain the Corruption. Thus, it created the Crimson. It attracted many blood-sucking monsters, and soon it was the homeland to many monsters.

Moon Lord, depressed about it, decided to finish off the humans himself face-to-face, even if it's the last thing he ever did. He created the cultists and the ancient tablet that they worshipped. The Moon Lord had created the four elemental pillars. Melee, range, mana and summoning. He had made the ranged Vortex pillar, the melee Solar pillar, the magical Nebula pillar and the summoning Stardust pillar. His plan is to weaken the humans before they can confront him, for maximal effect.

The humans had prevailed all bosses before the Wall, and they went to the same dungeon where the second of the bosses, the skeletal menace Skeletron resided a very long time ago. They had easily killed the team of 5 cultists. Two archers, two worshippers and one leader. They easily defeated the leader of the Cultist pack, and the mysterious sigil at the dungeon's entrance had broke open. It had released the four different pillars he had created.

Afterwards...the humans had defeated the cultist leader, leader of the pack. They had managed to break the pillar's shields open, and they had defeated them. Their leftovers had provided them with some of the best weapons possible at their will, which was not Moon Lord's intention in any way.

It was time. They had geared up. They had drank their magical potions, and they had brought their different healing brews.

Moon Lord...he finally came to confront the humans. Him being the hardest boss, the humans had a hard time.

However...As to be expected...The humans eventually managed to beat him. However, what they don't know is that...He is never killed. He is just beaten. He will try over and over again until he wipes them out. As revenge for driving his brother insane, killing him in a way. Since he is corrupt, the corruption will spread from his mind and body to the world, and it will continue spreading until it makes the entire world evil and corrupt.

However...There is one way to kill him for good.

If you can find the Celestial Sigil...and if you can manage to chant the ritual while confronting the Moon Lord...if you can kill him afterwards, you will have defeated him and the corrupt will stop spreading.

And we...We have to attempt defeating him. Once and for all.

Hoo, that was a long thing to tell you...But it is true. We need to kill the Moon Lord before he corrupts the entire universe of Terraria with pure evil."

I asked...

"How do you know about all of this?"

"I'm not sure...Maybe it is because I read a lot of history books."
