Chapter 2 - Interstellar Intervention
As Jasper's consciousness ebbed and flowed within the void, sensations of disorientation and weakness enveloped him like a suffocating shroud. No longer bound by the confines of mortal flesh, he existed as a mere echo of his former self, adrift in the cosmic abyss. Amidst the swirling chaos of the void, fragmented memories of his past life flickered like dying stars. He recalled the streets of Arkham, the musty scent of old books at Miskatonic Bookstore, and the comforting embrace of his own humanity.
Suddenly, a series of arcane symbols materialized before him, glowing with an otherworldly light. They danced and shifted, forming intricate patterns that seemed to pulse with power. Jasper not quite sure it was hesitates, unsure of what they have stumbled upon, but a voice whispers in the recesses of his mind, urging them forward. Jasper reached out tentatively, his "fingers" trembling as they brushed against the symbols. In that instant, a surge of energy coursed through him, filling his mind with images and sensations beyond comprehension. His surroundings began to shift and warp, morphing into a surreal landscape unlike anything he had ever seen. Strange creatures slithered and skittered in the shadows, their forms twisting and contorting in impossible ways.
His "eyes" widened as he realized that Lovecraft's knowledge was real. The tales he had once dismissed as mere fiction now unfolded before him in all their terrifying glory. "Did I just awaken Azathoth in my solar system?!" he thought as he realized what he had done. Suddenly, a massive explosion occurred in cosmic abyss, blasting apart the darkness.
*Zoom* Several massive sleek aircraft suddenly appeared along with Azathoth, the aircrafts having launched several small cylinder-shaped bombs. "No way!" Jasper's eyes widened "Antimatter bom-"
*BOOM*
He was sent flying away but not before he heard "MERICA" being screamed out, while Azathoth was sent back into the cosmic abyss. Azathoth roared and twisted the laws of the universe, but it was too late. The explosion had already sent Azathoth back and the space was quickly recovering. One last aircraft that Jasper managed to identify as an SR-71 Blackbird threw one more anti-matter bomb at Azathoth forcing it back long enough for the space to recover.
A small ebb of light appeared in his view. A tiny discrepancy in the cosmic abyss, the explosion quickly sent him hurtling towards it.

"WAIT WHAT!" Jasper exclaimed "WHAT IS HAPPENING!"
Entering the rift now. May the Eldritch Forces guide and shield you on this odyssey through the unknown.
Inside a cave deep within a mountain, a "human" body suddenly appeared flying out of a small crack in the air, slamming into the nearby cave wall creating an indention. Soon after, falling to the ground, Jasper began to breathe heavily, while his body began to weaken.
