It is a dark time. A time of madness, villainy, and horror. Humanity struggles to survive under the cover of the barrier. Cosmic horrors loom outside of it; and depraved supervillains, mutants, and mad cultists roam inside. Eaters and artificial intelligences seek our extinction. But an even darker time is coming--my time. This is a supervillain story set in a grimdark world. It is inspired by works like Worm, The Cthulhu Mythos, and Prince of Thorns. Warning: this story is extremely dark and might be difficult to digest, and I don't say that lightly. If you are triggered by anything, easily offended, or depressed, your best bet would be not to read. This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, places, events, locales, and incidents are either the products of the author's imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. All characters are over 18, despite what is said on the story. I want to make it abundantly clear that none of the characters in this story represent my political views or personal beliefs--this is meant to entertain you.
