IGN: Mungo  Genre: Comedy/Fantasy/Dark/Whatever

This story is loosely based on true events

We all know the Idle Online Universe, its the place where we all go to relieve ourselves from the mundane, boredom of that place known as 'real life'.  We also know about the creator and god of the Idle Online Universe, Ray.  What most people don't know is that the universe needs balance.  Every Yin needs its Yang.  And while Ray and his minions are regarded to be all that is 'good' in this world, the laws of balance dictate that there must also be evil.  This is the story of that evil.  The story of an evil man named Zaritha.

Our story begins with a legend within our Universe.  A legend known to many as 'Mungo'.  What many people don't know is that Mungo was a charitable man and kept those who needed his help close to him.  One such person was Plisskin.  Plisskin had good strong character but he was pretty simple.  He shunned the typical lifestyle in our lands of keeping and evolving pets, instead giving focus to only 1 pet.  A single, solitary snake.  What an idiot.

One day, Mungo befriended Zaritha, who appeared to him as a good man.  Zaritha had used his charm and magic to convince Mungo that he was a good, decent person and Mungo learned to trust him.  And trust him he did.  One day in the land of 'real life' unfortunate events, and a christmas party distracted Mungo from his duties taking care of Plisskin.  Zaritha, managed to convince Mungo that Plisskin would be fine without him.  That he himself would take care of him and keep him on the straight and narrow.  Mungo believed him, as mortal man often does, and told Zaritha exactly where to find Plisskin.

Unknown to Mungo, Zaritha had cast a spell on a magic apple.  The moment Mungo was gone, Zaritha fed the apple to Plisskins Snake and it increased in power and strength.  Pleased with his plan, Zaritha sneaked off back to his dark cave and laughed at his brilliant, evil plan.  It was so easy, and it worked.  Mungo was devastated, though Plisskin didn't seem to mind (we already mentioned he's an idiot).

Mungo pleaded with Ray to help undo this evil magic.  Ray ignored his pleas.  Mungo wrote day after day begging for divine intervention and every time was met with silence.  One day, Mungo managed to stumble across Ray and asked him again for help.  He was immediately dismissed with an idea to contact one of his minions.  Mungo sought contact with Lynne.  His pleas were heard but alas, Lynn wasn't a god.  She couldn't help.  Finally his prayers were answered.  Jay, the true hero of this story, appeared to Mungo.  "Mungo" he boomed.  "Show me your snake!".  Mungo pulled his snake out for Jay and Jay marvelled at how mighty it was.  Too mighty.  "I shall fix this for you  Mungo"

Jay used black magic and fixed the snake.  Suddenly the curse was gone.  The snake was weak.  Mungo was happy.  And Zaritha?  He still lurks in the shadows waiting to feed the snakes of the innocent.
