Welcome, dearest reader!

You just started to read of Teleny which is a visual romance based on the novel The reverse of the medal, published in London 1893 and commonly attributed to the author Oscar Wilde.

I made quite a few changes according to my own personal tastes, please don't expect an accurate adaptation and if you know the source material: Be ready to be surprised.

Original royalty free text-passages are used. I will mark them subtly in cursive to show it, without disturbing the reading-experience for you. Please tell me whenever you feel I forgot to mark a passage.

DISCLAIMER!

This story carries an overall 18+ rating due to its thematic elements, including vivid expressions of sexuality, sexualized artwork, deseases and mortality. - Not all chapters have these topics, so I will mark the ones containing them individually, also making sure to seperate the kinky and bloody scenes from the rest of the text, so you can decide for yourself, wether to have the full-fleshed yaoi-experience, or a toned down shonen-ai-variant of the story.

Additionally to that, the story subtly touches upon sensitive topics such as homophobic and misogynistic tendencies, religious sentiments, social pressure and anxiety. These topics will not be marked, unless it gets excessive.

Please give comments!

As a last word to this introduction I want to say that this is my first longer project here and your support means the world to me. Please give comments, especially to the chapters that contain polls with choices for the ongoing story.

My game of course has all the given choices, but for this ongoing story, I need to decide for one way and I would love you to take part in that, so we can make this story a shared experience.

Please take care everyone and enjoy a little stroll into the shining light of the theatre, where people show only the best facettes of their very being and get a chance to reveal the complexities that lie beneath the surface.
