At the dawn of the apocalypse, humanity begged for salvation, willing to sell their world to whatever would answer.
Something did.
They would soon discover that some salvations are worse than the end of everything.
Reality was rewritten. Gods, alien monstrosities, and unique races now stalk the reformed earth, even as mutated humans and supernatural beings arise to assert their will.
Yet the true damnation did not fall from the heavens—it rose from below.
Rainer Manslayer—a being whose soul burns for freedom—carves a path of ruin through the chaos, challenging the very forces that dare impede his journey as he hunts down the entity who remade the world: an old friend.
A love—forever out of reach.

I gazed down upon the grand assembly: the King and his high house, a silksea of courtly nobles, the rigid steel of the knights, and the restless press of the common folk.
Before this sprawling host, the Queen ascended the plaza. She raised her staff, claiming dominion over the very air.
"Hear ye! Hear ye! Once again, a vision has been bestowed upon me! A new tale! An epic of a world yet unknown!" Her voice rang across the stone, vibrating with prophetic fervor. "Behold the apocalypse, and the rebirth that follows! Gods and cosmic horrors! Hidden cabals and a corrupted world laid bare! There shall be darkness, and there shall be tragedy! But as always, let this serve as a cautionary tale!"
With the final syllable of her decree, she drove her staff into the ground.
«Crack!»
A brilliant flash surged toward the twilight sky, culminating in a violent tremor that tore a rift in reality itself.
Within the shimmering tear, a montage of visions flickered into view. The crowd fell into a hushed, heavy trance as scenes unfolded within: Missiles streaked like vengeful stars across a vast horizon, framed below by the silent, blooming fury of distant mushroom clouds.
Across the world, people, vehicles, and towering skyscrapers dissolved into ethereal motes of azure light—a beautiful, terrifying disintegration of a world once called Earth.

Gunfire shattered the stillness of a city street.«Bang! Bang-bang!»
Civilians fled in a frantic, screaming tide.
The mafia in sharp fedoras and black coats buckled, their forms blooming with crimson plumes that showered the pavement as they fell.
Suddenly, a cafe imploded with a thunderous «Boom!», showering the asphalt in a lethal rain of glass shards.
Across the road, a black cat lay perched atop a cab, undisturbed by the carnage. It watched the chaos with eyes of toxic green, its tail swaying with rhythmic indifference.

Across the city, in a narrow alleyway hemmed in by towering cargo containers, a solitary sodium-vapor lamp cast a sickly, jaundiced glow over the damp pavement.
Rainer’s breath came in ragged, wet hitches. His back was pinned against the cold ribs of a cargo container by the crushing weight of a werewolf.
The beast was a mountain of matted fur and knotted muscle that blotted out the flickering street lamp. Its elongated claws were buried deep within his torso like jagged iron stakes, anchoring him to the steel.
"Say your last prayers..." the beast snarled, its breath a foul, humid heat against his skin.
"Prayers...?"
Rainer's lip curled, the corner of his mouth twitching into a jagged smirk. He forced his head up, his gaze locking onto the creature's feral yellow eyes.
Within his pupils, intricate scarlet patterns ignited, spinning with the accursed symbols of an eldritch ritual circle.
"To whom?" he whispered, his voice dripping with amused spite. "When I'm the only god here."
