Lore

Hidden far below the blasted scar of Black-Moon Crater lies a labyrinth where meteors once fell like iron rain, searing the cavern stone into mirrored glass.  In those glittering hollows a colony of goblins mined raw star-iron—a metal so dense it warps lantern-light and hums with unseen tides.  One miner, nameless in the scrolls, out-worked the pick and out-lasted the whip; for years he shouldered ore that weighed as planets yet still hungered for greater burdens.

One eclipse-struck night, a fragment of collapsed starlight smashed through the crater roof, its luminous gravity-chains whipping through the tunnels like molten serpents.  All who touched the links were crushed to bone—save the miner.  He embraced the chains, flesh fusing to cosmic steel, vertebrae soldering into one adamant column.  When the dust settled he was no longer goblin but Legend: limbs wrapped in links that crackled with orbital heft, shoulders crowned by a yoke of miniature moons.

Thus reborn, he trekked through magma vents and obsidian corridors until he reached the foot of the Obsidian Wall, the ancient rampart that guards Infitnite’s deepest realm.  There he planted his star-iron pick into the stone and swore an oath: “No being shall pass who cannot keep spine unbroken beneath a falling sky.”  Centuries later he remains—chains clinking like distant comets—testing every champion who dares to stay upright beneath his crushing aura.  Each link sings with the gravity of dead worlds; each step he takes multiplies the weight of nearby iron.  Those who crumble feel the chains tighten, dragging them ever downward into lunar shadow.  Those who breathe, brace, and rise with disciplined fire feel the impossible lighten, as though the universe itself pauses to witness perfect posture.

Yet legend warns: when the chains grow silent and their glow fades to cold ember, the Goblin’s trial is not over.  It is only then—when gravity seems conquered—that he unleashes the Starforged Rebound, hurling all stored weight skyward in a single cataclysmic surge, separating the truly steadfast from the merely strong.

Monster Skills

• Chainbound Descent – “Magnifies gravitational pull as you sink, punishing any collapse in torso integrity.”

• Starforged Rebound – “Releases stored chain energy into an explosive ascent, but only when flawless depth and alignment are achieved.”

Battle Strategy

• Brace & Rack – Step beneath the bar in a proud front-rack; elbows high, core braced. Let the chains kiss the floor like comet tails.

• Anchor & Descend – Inhale, expand your ribs, push knees out, and ride the chains downward until hips sink just below parallel. Feel every link triple its weight.

• Drive & Accelerate – Explode through the mid-foot; let the chains rise link by rattling link, their mass diminishing the faster you ascend.

• Reset & Repeat – Re-brace at the summit—ribs stacked over hips—before beginning the next controlled descent.

Recommended Class

• Orc Class (Powerlifting) – Thrives under monumental loads, translating raw leg drive into unstoppable ascent.

• Dwarf Class (Strongman) – Unbowed by unpredictable weight shifts; masters braced posture against asymmetric force.

• Monk Class (Functional) – Marries breath control and spinal integrity, taming gravity with mindful precision.

“Stand tall, breathe deep—let collapsing stars learn your name.”

Legacy & Meaning

In firelight gatherings across Infitnite, elders tell the parable “Chains of the Black-Moon.” The story warns apprentices that true strength is less about the masses you lift and more about the alignment that lets you survive the weight of worlds. To confront the Legendary Goblin is to confront the truth Carl Jung whispered: your posture speaks the language of your unconscious.

Heroes who break beneath its links are said to hear a cosmic laugh—echoing planets mocking brittle resolve. Those who rise discover that gravity is not a foe but a tutor; it asks one question in many tongues: “Will you collapse into the depths, or drive the depths upward into light?”

Defeating the Legendary Goblin does not merely lighten chains—it engraves a lesson: Control transforms burden into propulsion. And among seasoned warriors, the rattling of distant links forever reminds them that every squat is a vow to stay upright when the universe leans hardest upon their shoulders.

“May your spine tower like the Obsidian Wall, and may your heart beat with the calm weight of orbiting moons.”
