Shazam

Introduction

You are in the middle of the forest escaping from a group of monsters who want to kill you, it is night and it is raining so you cannot see well and that causes you to trip over a root and fall to the ground, but that does not hurt you, quickly you get stand up and run until you can no longer, you feel how the monsters are approaching, you think that at any moment they will reach you, but ... You manage to see a mysterious cave, you don't know that you can find yourself in there but it is your only chance, you quickly enter and for a moment you manage to lose the monsters. You start to walk and go through the cave until you come across a strange path with strange symbols, something inside your head says that it is dangerous to enter but you ignore it and continue along that path, while you walk you see more strange symbols on the walls, you continue a good time until you reach a mysterious place that looks like a castle, on your left there are 7 statues representing the enemies of humanity, the 7 deadly sins Anger, Lust, Greed, Gluttony, Envy, Pride and Greed, You continue walking until you find yourself in front of a door, you open it, and before you you can see a throne and sitting on it is a decrepit old man who says these words: "You are noble of heart, your sense of justice and goodness, your You will be the hero who saves this world from darkness and injustice, now say my name ... Say Shazam ", Without thinking twice you shout that name and lightning destroys the ceiling and hits you directly. You feel how your body changes and how you are strong Much stronger than before, the old man says some last words: "Now save the world" and you see how it turns to dust and dies, now with your new powers and your incredible strength you are able to defeat the monsters that were previously chasing you and later you are able to defeat all the enemies that are dedicated to evil.
