The UmFend Project: A Journey of Confusion and Discovery
Hello everybody, my name is Markiplier and welcome to UmFend. Now, UmFend is...a love story? About something. Hmm, don't like that at all. Anyway, we're gonna remember now. I don't know what we're remembering but...something tells me we forgot it for a reason and maybe we should just leave well enough alone and go about our daily lives.
As Markiplier delves deeper into the mystery of UmFend, he finds himself transported back to 2005. In this year, he was deeply immersed in World of Warcraft, a popular massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) at the time. However, it seems that Markiplier's memories of World of Warcraft are hazy, and he struggles to recall specific details about his gameplay experience.
The confusion continues as Markiplier attempts to remember another aspect of his past. He comes across a device labeled "FLEER" with an instruction manual that reads: "To do: find batteries, water the plant, bring the seed, pour the fleer." The instructions seem bizarre and nonsensical to Markiplier, who can't help but wonder what "fleer" is. Despite his confusion, he decides to press on and complete the tasks outlined in the manual.
Markiplier's journey takes an unexpected turn as he discovers a mysterious room filled with strange objects. He finds himself surrounded by unfamiliar items, including a plant that appears to be in need of watering. As he tries to find batteries for the device, he comes across a cup labeled "cup to use for fleer." The words on the screen begin to make sense only when Markiplier singsong, adding water to his cup.
The room continues to reveal its secrets as Markiplier searches for any clues that might explain the purpose of the mysterious device. He stumbles upon a box with a battery that he decides to insert into it, hoping to unlock more information about "fleer." The instructions begin to make sense only when Markiplier finds a plant and water it. As he continues to follow the manual's steps, he discovers a shocking truth: fleer is not just an object but also a necessary component for a specific purpose.
Markiplier finds himself on the cusp of discovering the true nature of "fleer." He realizes that drinking it might be essential to solving the mystery of UmFend. However, his hesitation is justified as he later discovers that there's something more important than just finding out what fleer is. It seems like Markiplier's life was a part of some game.
After numerous attempts and failed guesses about what "fleer" could be, Markiplier gets excited about getting batteries for the device. However, when using them to power it, he discovers something more significant than just lights or sounds - he finds out that there is a real-life equivalent of the mysterious world created in a computer game.
As the journey continues, Markiplier stumbles upon another important thing - his home. He realizes that the whole experience was like stepping into a video game. Everything seemed so much different at first, but after playing for some time, it started to feel familiar. Markiplier eventually finds himself thinking of the five basic food groups: grains, fruit, vegetables, meat, and water.
In an attempt to recall a popular video game he played in the past, Markiplier tries to identify its name. However, his memories are elusive, leaving him with confusion about which title it might be - Cities of Heroes or World of Warcraft? The search for a solution continues as Markiplier starts searching around the room.
Markiplier stumbles upon a plant that seems out of place in the device he's trying to operate. When watering this plant, something unexpected occurs: water seems to be flowing and coming from its leaves instead of a natural source. However, the main goal remains - figuring out what fleer is all about.
After an extensive search for clues, Markiplier comes across his cup filled with water that he used earlier in the process. It's surprising how much more understandable things seem now that he has some idea of what "fleer" might be. Using this information, he decides to continue moving forward and see where it takes him.
Markiplier finds himself facing another challenge as he navigates through a part of his room where he can't quite enter or use the light switch. This area seems to have an invisible boundary that prevents him from entering it.
In an attempt to unlock more information, Markiplier decides to press on despite some uncertainty. After numerous trials and errors, he manages to discover what fleer might be and uses this newfound knowledge in hopes of solving the problem at hand - a puzzle left unsolved by himself earlier.
The journey finally comes to an end as Markiplier has figured out how everything was connected together. With the device fully functional and understanding its true purpose more clearly than before, Markiplier realizes that his whole adventure has been nothing short of unbelievable.
Markiplier takes one final moment to appreciate what he's just discovered - a branch-armed monster standing in front of him. The realization hits hard as he understands that this isn't just about solving puzzles but also unraveling the mysteries behind something greater than himself.
