Emissary of Contagion: The Viral Chronicles

Prologue: The Catalyst In the vast expanse of the cosmos, amidst the swirling nebulae and distant galaxies, there exists a realm unseen by mortal eyes—a realm where the fabric of reality is woven with threads of light and shadow, of chaos and order. It is a realm of primordial forces, where the dance of creation and destruction shapes the destiny of worlds and civilizations. And in this realm, there exists a being—a being of insatiable hunger and boundless ambition—a being known only as the Catalyst. The Catalyst is the harbinger of change, the catalyst of evolution—a force that transcends the boundaries of time and space, weaving its web of influence across the tapestry of existence. It seeks out worlds ripe for transformation, worlds teetering on the brink of oblivion or rebirth, and infuses them with its essence, sparking the flames of revolution and renewal. And so it was that the Catalyst set its sights on a world unlike any other—a world of magic and mystery, of gods and monsters—a world poised on the cusp of a new era. In this world, a lone soul descended from the heavens—a soul cloaked in shadow and shrouded in secrecy. It fell like a shooting star, streaking across the sky with silent purpose, until it landed upon the earth with a thunderous impact. From the ashes of its descent, a new entity emerged—a being of darkness and light, of chaos and order—a being that would forever alter the course of history. This is the tale of that entity—a tale of transformation and transcendence, of power and peril—a tale woven into the very fabric of existence. This is the tale of the Virus Sovereign.
