《Majority Rule》Prologue
Advertisement
The Internet hosts a variety of unusual media, including photos of cute kittens dressed in baby clothing and videos of idiots doing stupid stunts for attention.
Then, there is the media that is not appropriate for most audiences such as porn and gore. However, it is these forms of entertainment that garner the most views.
One such show appeared during the past year, airing live during the first week of every month from March to December. Sometimes the show would cut short, while other times, it would drag on to the end of the night. There never was a fixed time period for each live session.
Now people may wonder "What is this show?" and curiously attend the live recordings. Some find the show disgusting, while others find it horrifying. Of course, there's a fine percentage of viewers that actually enjoy it.
The show is called "Can Anyone Beat Level 10?" - a simple name that represents the objective of the show.
It is a game show like no other and it follows one main rule - the Majority Rule. This "rule" is the main selling point of the show. Basically, decisions of the participants of the game show are determined by the viewers through Majority Rule. Which path they take...which weapons they get...are all decided by the viewers. The viewers' choices are the participants' choices...the viewers' luck is the participants' luck.
The game show is similar to most dungeon-crawling games one would find in the electronics store or in a game site online. Given what little information one could find on the Internet and from watching the live recordings last year, there was a total of ten participants at the start of the game.
Each participant would enter a typical dungeon floor, where monsters that followed the topic of the theme would randomly appear in the dungeon rooms. Treasure chests and traps were placed at different points and a boss room was located at the far end of the level. As the level increased, the dungeon rooms increased and the monsters became harder to defeat. Participants were "eliminated" with no signs of stopping.

Today marks the beginning of a new season for the game show. Last season, no one completed the game but the results were not unsatisfactory. In fact, the majority of the viewers had expressed that they wanted to see more. As both old and new viewers join the stream, they are greeted by a dark, box-shaped glass room.
Suddenly, the lights flickers on and a voice rings out.
"Welcome to "Can Anyone Beat Level 10?"! I'm your host, Mister Θ, please give a round of applause!"
