🚨-----[WARNING: UNDER HEAVY REWRITING & CORE EDITING. Proceed at your own pace.]----🚨 ✨Anyone with consciousness naturally fears the unknown. The vast, expanding intergalactic abyss looms between planets and stars, threatening to engulf entire galaxies and beyond. Everything it touches seems to face a fate far worse than death, disrupting the peaceful balance between countless dimensions and the laws of physics beyond our wildest dreams. This all started with first contact inside, with the mysterious outer Versal being now known as the [MERKATOR OF VAKIVUS]. Whatever dwelled within did not discriminate on whom or what it chose to Claim. Our curiosity cost us trillions of lives in learning about its existence. We are now armed with the deadly realisation that not even [Hell] can claim our souls if we cannot find a way to escape its grasp. This is my final memoir of all things living or otherwise, a last respect to fallen souls. As I venture into the madness that lies beyond the [DARK MATTER]... to the place where it resides... either I uncover its mind-bending secrets and stop the vicious rampage as it bleeds into our reality, or I succumb to its will and become the architect of my inexorable destruction and lead my kind toward extinction.✨ 📢[Act 1] of [Season 1], formerly known as [''𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀''] of the First Volume, has reached the final stage with a brand new revamped title: [''𝐋𝐈𝐄𝐒 𝐁𝐄𝐘𝐎𝐍𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐀𝐑𝐊 𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑''] of the Original fan favourite ''[𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐄𝐑𝐊𝐀𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐍 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐒]''.

It began with the murder of Butler Leonard Burns. Horror Hill, a manor for the abnormal in society, quickly turned into a scene of betrayal and blood. His ties to the sinister organisation, Cobra, plunged the Horror Hillians into a conflict that left no one unscathed. From the shadows, biomechanical creatures emerged, spores spread, and greed lured the Horror Hillians up Mount Snowcrest in pursuit of Cobra's well-desired artefact - The Eternal Prism - turning friends to foes. In the end, it was not their enemies that destroyed them, but the flaws that they could never outrun. ______________________________________________________________ A chilling murder. A secret organisation. A mythical prize. Betrayal runs deep, legends come alive, and the path to immortality is paved with blood.
