Horrors Of Becoming Lost

Guide to Becoming the Strongest

“If you knew, why are you still here?” She asked, curiously. “Because sometimes,” His eyes, as kind as they always were, bore into her, "I can choose to do something, not for my gain, but, simply,” he placed the cauldron down before her. “Because she asked me." His face remained pleasant She approached him, a huge smile covered her face, and she reached out to grab him into an embrace, he moved away. “No.” He shook his head, “No more of your lies, I didn’t do it for a lie.” He turned away, she let him. He had no more use to her. She listened as his footsteps slowly faded away, before turning back to the cauldron, a looming figure appeared behind it. “Was it worth it?” His smile, wider than the other man’s, filled with viciousness, not a speck of thoughtfulness to be seen. “Yes.” She gazed back at him, matching the look he pierced at her from his singular eye. “Nothing compares to the pain of it.” He chuckled, cackling echoing off the walls. “No one will believe you.” “You do.” She tilted her head, approaching the cauldron, where he was leaning on it. He made distance as she approached, almost fear in his eyes. “Oh, I know, I know.” She lifted the lid to the cauldron, her eyes narrowed, as she took out the things from her spacial ring. Things, so much blood had been spilled for. Red berries, iridescent vermillion, black, crumbling dirt that her cut the fingers that laid on them, a vial, viscous liquid, thread-like golden silk, a glowing sphere, some greenery. Then she knelt down, taking out a flame. Blue, it flickered in her palm, for a moment, all flames in the room bent towards it. She lit beneath the cauldron. “Is it worth it?” Asked the man, again, away from her, as the blue flame now lit the room, his chains were revealed, holding his feet from running too far. Not that he would. “Worth it?” Her eyes faded away for a moment, tilting her head, before gazing back at him, “to be strong, what isn’t worth it? Tell me.” 13+ recommended, but, to each their own

Horrors Beyond the Veil: Lingering Flame

Across the world, an unseen plague spreads. Ordinary people descend into madness, becoming Holmen: twisted, violent, and vanishing without a trace. They slaughter their families. They burn their homes. They destroy without reason or remorse. No one agrees on the cause. The Temple blames moral decay. The Regime of Ezkabel calls it natural. But one thing is clear, they are multiplying. The Corruption is rising. The world’s largest power, Ezkabel, rules two-thirds of the known lands through ritual-bound magic and authoritarian order. Its systems are efficient, cold, and absolute. Its influence reaches even where its banners do not. But beneath the surface, older sciences remain, disciplines mistaken for magic, buried in lost chants, forgotten symbols, and broken forms. They linger like fading embers in remote corners of Earth, waiting for a spark. And in the midst of it all stands Larsen, a frail boy with a shattered past and a silence so deep it scrapes the soul. While others fear the Holmen outside, Larsen hunts his own darkness within, diving into his mind, tracing trauma like a thread, and awakening something long lost. What begins as meditation turns into revelation. What begins as survival becomes resistance. This is the story of Larsen, his loneliness, his fire, and his fall. Of knowledge rediscovered, of symbols that mean more than they should, and of a world gasping under its own weight. In a time when even heroes lose their way, can a boy with nothing left find a reason to fight?

The Book of Becoming

In a cosmos woven through the Aetherium Prime—the foundational plane where thought, will, and energy coalesce—existence is governed by ancient laws and the silent will of The One Above All. Yet, this delicate balance is threatened by a profound schism, born from a primordial act of defiance and a relentless pursuit of transcendence. At the heart of this unfolding saga are Lognos (L2) and Eli Ragual (R2), twin brothers of unprecedented potential. Born from the forbidden union of Miriam Soter, a celestial-blooded Saintess, and Dr. Azrael, a heretical scientist-mystic, their very existence is an act of rebellion against cosmic predestination. L2, the Cosmic Warrior and Ophiuchus Ascendant, embodies intellect and strategy, destined to master the systems of reality. R2, the Spiral Messiah, is a powerhouse of raw strength and transcendence, whose path involves "becoming the storm." Their bond is profound, yet fraught with L2's desperate drive to overcome R2's inherent physical fragility, a struggle that will ultimately lead to their destined fusion into LRD, a universal stabilizer. Their journey unfolds against a backdrop of cosmic warfare, driven by two opposing, yet equally dangerous, legacies: * Cain's Lineage: The progenitor of the Vampire Lords, Cain defied the Creator, his ambition to transcend his curse leading to the birth of his three distinct bloodlines: the Infernal (seeking demonic godhood), the Human (aiming for perfected immortality), and the Beastkin (forging ultimate war forms). Cain envisions the fusion of these lineages into a single, perfect being, asserting dominion over the mortal realms and beyond. * Babel's Legacy: Once the divine Abel, corrupted by Cain's dark arts, Necros Babel became the first Undying Necromancer. His ultimate goal is not vengeance, but a calculated act of cosmic restoration: to erase Kain. Babel believes Kain's continued existence has become a "detriment" to the natural order, and he seeks to unmake the very rules of existence through Eldritch Vampirism—a power that devours concepts and reality itself—to achieve this precise, minimal-damage erasure. As L2 and R2 cultivate their Inner Worlds, forging personal realities that threaten to surpass the Aetheric Plane itself, they ignite a "war between those who govern existence and those who dare to create it." Established deities, categorized by their elemental and conceptual affinities (from Ra and Zeus to Kali and Kael), grapple with the emergence of these new forms of divinity. The Nine Singularities—fundamental truths about Being, Choice, Death, and Godhood—serve as philosophical and existential trials that all ascending entities must confront. The fate of the cosmos hangs in the balance. Will L2 and R2 succumb to the temptations of Cain's raw power or Babel's nihilistic erasure? Or will they forge a new path, navigating the treacherous Wells of Resonance and confronting the ancient Apex Beasts, to achieve a Divine Unity that rebuilds existence rather than destroying it? Their choice will not only redefine their own destiny but reshape the very fabric of reality, determining whether the universe descends into eternal conflict or ascends to a new, transcendent order.
