History and Background:
Born and raised in Brooklyn, Joe Montana grew up immersed in the bustling streets and diverse culture of New York City. From an early age, he proved to be a charismatic and perceptive young man, with an infectious smile and a sharp mind. His future seemed promising, fueled by dreams of an expansive world to explore and an insatiable thirst for challenges.
Joe's life took an unexpected turn when, at the age of 16, a mysterious portal opened in an abandoned location he and his friends used to explore. This place, shrouded in mystery and urban legends, always piqued the group's curiosity. That night, drawn by novelty and fueled by youthful adrenaline, they ventured into what they thought was just an abandoned place.
However, that fissure obscured by shadows was much more than it seemed. Upon crossing the portal, Joe found himself suddenly transported into the Maze, a mysterious and unforgiving labyrinth that seemed to defy the laws of space and time. The group disbanded in the confusion of the portal, and Joe emerged alone in an unfamiliar place, devoid of any logic or familiarity.
Years dragged on within the obsidian walls of the labyrinth. The Maze's hostile and relentless environment imposed a heavy burden on Joe, forcing him to fight daily for survival. Scarcity of resources, deadly traps, and encounters with unimaginable creatures challenged his spirit and resilience.
Despite his initial determination, the constant struggle for survival eventually undermined his mental stability. The loneliness and chronic stress in the maze, where time seemed to have its own will, gradually shattered his sanity, molding him into a shadow of the dreamy young man he once was.
