RIP OFF

No one told me what I had to do. I simply appeared down there, surrounded by earth on all sides. A zenithal light, diffused by the fog, illuminated from above.

When you're at the bottom, everything seems unattainable. Despite that, I couldn't stay there, I had to try to get out, there was no other way. I jumped out of the hole, only to find myself at the bottom of a well.

I still had a long way to go to the surface. The immensity of the challenge overwhelmed me, but I started to climb, stumbling and falling over and over again. After several attempts that left me exhausted and bruised, I found a climbing route that promised to get me out of there. I regained my enthusiasm and a new hope gave me the strength to continue.

After an arduous journey, overcoming obstacles and conquering vertigo, I managed to get out. Observing the environment I could see that my precarious situation was not the only one, many others shared my circumstances. To get a clearer idea of what surrounded me, I decided to keep climbing until I reached a panoramic view.

Up there, as a culmination on a stepped construction, I discerned a luminous object that radiated a strong attraction. It would be my next objective, it seemed expensive but at the same time accessible, so I headed towards it. Despite everything, I had my doubts, not all that glitters is gold.

Some tips: First, get out of the hole. Look for a way up, jumping between golden tiles. Climb to the top of the tombstone and push the gold nugget into the void. Jump fearlessly after it and maneuver until it fits into place. Finally, you can rest in peace.

MakingOf

Shovel by shovel, emptying the ground, dig your own grave. Top it off with a beautiful white tombstone and engrave golden bas-reliefs. Multiply it by everyone around you. Ascend until you disappear.
