Behind all the dreams of glamour and glory lies an insatiable secret hiding behind the fragile veil between the hopeful dreams of prosperity - upon the eldritch reality awaiting just outside the city walls, where terrible horrors watched and loomed as the everyman toils their meagre lives, awaiting the moment to reveal themselves.
Those sacrifices made by those who were unlucky to encounter these terrors shall not be forgotten, and The Horrors of Apocrypha codified these perilous events for the world to see.

"Tell me what you did wrong, boy." Eli felt his body attempt to curl up to hide. But the monster would always find him. "I-I ate s-some food, s-sir." CRACK. His father's fist hits the table. Eli jumps. "From where, you useless wench?!" Eli prayed to the gods to disappear. They never respond. Eli was offered to the gods. That's what they said when they pushed him into the sky-into the arms of a storm. But what waits in the clouds is not salvation. It's a reckoning. Haunted by memories, Eli tumbles into a orphanage with darker undertones than his own home. Each step toward breaking takes him deeper into a world where reality slips, gods whisper, and pain is stitched into obedience. As the line between dream and nightmare fractures, Eli must decide whether survival is worth surrendering his soul-or if falling is the only way to be free. A new chapter of pain is just beginning...

Suddenly, he's seeing vivid, violent moments in time of past, present, and future, from seeing his future self murdering people he's met to sights from hundreds of years earlier, of a distant relative who had seeked to do exactly what Omen had come to achieve.
