GROMBI FACT DROPREAL-WORLD TRIVIA
A strange little side quest
Here is a rabbit hole for the next loading screen in Ante Hero: Early computer role-playing games helped turn rules, inventories, exploration and character progression into systems that could support long-form digital adventures. And then there is this: Space Invaders, released in 1978, helped push video games into mainstream popular culture. So a round of Ante Hero is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer role-playing games timeline.

What you are getting into
The king had wealth, and power, but he wanted more. He wanted to live forever. To this end, he made a deal with devils—his lifespan would be tied to his wealth. The more money he possessed, the longer he would live. In his pursuit of immortality, the king began to ransack his own kingdom. To this day he sends his monsters, looting and pillaging from helpless citizens, stacking his gold ever higher. Protect the village, reclaim its gold, and eventually… take down the greed-fueled king.
