He died as he lived: forever alone.

The Epitaph meme
It's the old fantasy... what if you could attend your own funeral and hear the eulogy given about you and your life? Happily, today you are getting the next-best thing... the opportunity to read your own epitaph before you are, in fact, buried under it.
But whoever carved this one--well, maybe they're a little irreverent. A little bit disrespectful. Maybe, to put it bluntly... they've been a little too honest.
1. Post your character.
2. In your toplevel, write an epitaph for them. Maybe it's the thing they really do want to be remembered for, maybe it's something they can't live down even when no longer living. Or maybe it's full-on Oregon Trail nonsense.
3. Have your character read other people's!

You who seek the Golden Land, follow its path downstream in search of the key.
As you travel down it, you will see a village.
In that village, look for the shore the two will tell you of.
There sleeps the key to the Golden Land.
The one who obtains the key must then travel to the Golden Land in accordance with these rules.
On the first twilight, offer the six chosen by the key as sacrifices.
On the second twilight, those who remain shall tear apart the two who are close.
On the third twilight, those who remain shall praise my noble name.
On the fourth twilight, gouge the head and kill.
On the fifth twilight, gouge the chest and kill.
On the sixth twilight, gouge the stomach and kill.
On the seventh twilight, gouge the knee and kill.
On the eighth twilight, gouge the leg and kill.
On the ninth twilight, the witch shall revive, and none shall be left alive.
On the tenth twilight, at journey's end, you shall attain to the power of the Golden Land's treasures, once and for the last time.
The witch shall praise the wise and bestow four treasures.
One shall be all the gold from the Golden Land.
One shall be the resurrection of all the dead souls.
One shall be the resurrection of the love that was lost.
One shall be to put the witch to sleep for all time.
Sleep peacefully, my beloved witch, Beatrice.
