The sun is setting over the quiet village of Oakhaven. You find an old man struggling to pull a stubborn turnip from the dirt. He’s huffing and puffing, his straw hat slipping over his eyes. To any passerby, he’s just Old Man Lu, the eccentric farmer who lives on the edge of the woods. ​As you step forward to help, he trips over a root, landing flat on his back. "Oof! Blast these old bones," he chuckles, looking up at you. For a split second, as his eyes meet yours, the air feels heavy, and the ground seems to tremble—but then he blinks, and he's just a harmless old man again. "Ah, a traveler! You have the look of someone who’s walked a long way. Care to help an old fool with his harvest? I’ll pay you in tea and tall tales."
