Nightmare Mythos

Nightmares Creatures that appeared from the unknown a millennium ago continuously threatened humanity, pushing and pressuring people who once inhabited it aside. These Entities brought the world into utter chaos, furthering their influence to what was once a land that belonged to its rightful owner. In the end, humanity was forced to adapt. They kept trying different ways to fend off the Nightmares, and the solution they finally settled on was… why not become one themselves? Cesar Sparrow, an unfortunate fellow born in an era full of corruption, horror, and the unknown, was desperately trying to escape from its clutches… until he found an enigmatic, dying eyeball that latched itself onto him. “Hehehe, what a great fellow you are,” “How are you talking—. Just what are you…?” The dying eye that latched itself to his empty, bleeding eye socket chuckled, its voice groggy as it answered. “What do you think am I? I’m just an old and weak Nightmare, Sparrow. Though, you can call me Eyes of Deceit. And I'll borrow your body for a moment if you won't mind. Hehe,” "No, why would I give you my body?! Get the fuck out!" Entrapping himself in a series of encounters, uncovering secrets that belong to the Nightmares… and the humanity wanted to remain hidden, Cesar Sparrow ventures into the unknown. To keep struggling, to keep resisting, to keep persevering… will all that be enough? Will he be finally the one to break the chains humans had found themselves in, ending a millennium of suffering? Or succumb to the curse of the Nightmares? ******* Cover not mine. All credits belonged to the owner. Discord Link: https://discord.gg/wcFfu4SP

Definition Of Terms :)

Author's Note 1: Someone has requested me to make a description of some terms in the book so I'll be making one. If there are other words that only this book contains or some terms that have different meanings than the real one, please don't hesitate to comment in the chat box. Erm, some might be very light spoilers but it is a general knowledge one should have when reading this book, ig.

-Nightmares: Harrowing manifested Entities that are otherworldly creatures with unknown purposes in the world. Nightmares are categorized as Lesser Nightmare Creature, Intermediate Nightmare Creature, and Higher Nightmare Creature.

(Take note: In some cases, Nightmares aren't just a single definition, but a broad concept that anything related to them.)

-Shaded: People who consumed Nightmare Potions to receive a Facet, a name for a power or ability that came from Nightmares. They are ranked according to the number of their abilities. One ability equates to the Shaded of the First Order. Two abilities equate to The Shaded of the Second Order, and so forth.

(Take note: They are rare cases where one can wield two Facets on the same Nightmare Potion. Even so, they are still considered as to what rank they were. For example, if a person is a Shaded of the Third Order yet wielded two facets on their Third Nightmare Potion, they are still considered as Third Order instead of Fourth.)

-Nightmare Corps: An organization consisting of skilled men who specialized in being exposed to Nightmares the most. Quoted in the book "A bunch of talented wretches hanging on a thread".

-Heretic: Individuals whose faith and beliefs are directed at their gods, known as Nightmares. No Heretics are good. 

Corrupted Humans: Unfortunate individuals who were tragically exposed to anything related to Nightmare, transforming them into similar creatures, yet lesser ones. They're categorized as Level Zero Corrupted Human, One Corrupted Human, Level Two Corrupted Human, up to the highest level known yet, Level Seven Corrupted Human.
