Hey.

Hey. Hey! Wake up. Wake up. There is no time to be sleeping, not right now. Not while there are things to be done. This bid requires your full attention... and your mind, for details... So I need you to wake up. Wake up for me, son. It's very important. I wouldn't have handpicked you if it weren't. You remember right? Remember what it's time to do? Yes well... Let's do a little review. Review, review is good. Helps us set the record straight. Helps us to remember who is in charge here... so, recall if you would...

"HE IS US."

Yes. That's it. That's good....

...BUT TELL ME MORE.

If you can't defend yourself, and someone kills you, they won. You lost. It's the law of the jungle, it's nature. Call it what you like, call it evil, it's never going away." (STRENGTH)
>• "Where would those who fight for what they believe in and call 'good' be without my kind? Would ideals soon contract and collapse, and then have them at each other's throats? Destroying this innocent world that doesn't deserve their blows? No. Focus your attention elsewhere. Focus on me, for I am your evil." (BALANCE)

A Monster screamed in the face of the Devil, and jolted awake from restless sleep, its eyelids constantly affixed, stapled, never allowed to again look away from the vision. Itchy, it brushed the fabrics if only to relieve those buildings tears in stricken eyes. A flex of digits was performed to check how many were still there, like a subconscious tick picked up along the way came.

The floor and cabin jostled up and down, subtle. The rails racketed. Dim red light passed by each second. Ahead of him they stood, like any disciplined soldiers in order. The men stare blankly ahead, awaiting what they're coming closer to. Guns loaded, one of them sharpening the bayonet. Another two whisper silently, talking about how eager they are, agreeing first chance they get to drag a woman off somewhere alone once the initial craze is over. Beasts in uniform, well behaved until they're let off the chain.

The Monster's troop.

"H-How much furt-hurr."

'We're not that far. About to exit the tunnels now, Ovate.'

"Goo-good."

Tapping his chin. Almost trying to bite a fingernail through the cloth in crazed conniption. He looked back and forth. His mind was on the master, and a very real threat. This day must not be a bust. This is the day, it will be like no other. They will unleash!

...

Something horrible is about to transpire, and this very bad person is going to be the cause.

His name is...

1. Name the Monster.

>The Risers. We who walk back across the river of Death, once crossed, with the power of Ganiel, the First Necromancer. (Unending Army)
>The Inebriated. We who drink our fill of delight and destroy the mind, a useless generator of strife for Tenbhur, our marauder. (Chemical Warfare)

The Inebriates. They are followers of the Demigod named Tenbhur. He is hulking faded flesh and muscle, strength given form, rigamarole condensed to bloat. The Khagan that sips constantly on gunk. The attraction to woozy drink, the succor of tasting it with flinching lips, withdrawing in surprise. But soon coming to be accustomed to the taste, to the fire. And all the while, the only thing that has to suffer, is one's mind. For what is a mind really? But the source of pain and woes, naught spoken from that which is drowned.

His fingers flex, holding tightly the bident bestowed as the symbol of his office. An impaling implement for which the enemies, the many, are meant to be mounted upon in full view of that Devil, with five fingers to bring down the unearthly strength given and the wickedness built within, a torrent of the apparitional.

Born the son of a drinker, Richard Ray Peat. He is this Monster. How ironic. The perfect twist fate lay out for the Devil's hand to clench. What luck. He is Monster. He is Man. He is.

"Chosen one!"

He stumbles in a jumpy fit, looking down the aisle to the voice that cried that, the smaller figure of the midget Death Cultist joined to the troop. As the aisle grinds to a halt, the subtle jumping softens. Light, through the windows.

"We're here!"

Guns loaded. The tracks hissed.

Several cabins of the metro they hijacked, full of red warriors, horned helmeted men. They turned to the doors. Outside stood many civilians. Rows of them. That's just how busy the average dust hole in the traps was. Humans had to shuffle out and in constantly, fighting in near violence just to find a place or seat on these locomotives. Never mind that the aisles within were chock full. That's just how disgusting they are. Packs roving, colliding. Well, they didn't know what was inside. They didn't know that 'they' were here.

Nobody was giving them that divine clarity. The automated voice came over and said, "You have arrived at your destination. Please exit and proceed in an orderly manner", just as the doors swung open.

Men. Women. Children. The occasional Chemical Immortal on watch. Their reactions aren't that quick. Rather, they stand and stare in confusion at the red bodies stepping out now.

Gunned down to the last.

"KILL THEM AAAALLLLL!"

Open fire, they sang! Boom! Boom! Pow! Was this the sound of slaughter filling the ears of the Chosen One? Richard thought, this was good. Today was going to be a special day. Today, the flowing river of the weak would be crashing into the filter. Only the strong were passing through. Only the strong were fit to march ahead.

"Out! Out! Out! Kill em' all! Kill em' all! Kill em' all!"

Sanguine warriors brushed past, making their way outside. The screams were almost enough to match the sound of gunfire, until they weren't. That midget in the capirot came over and grabbed his chosen by the pants.

"Oh wonderful! Wonderful! Chosen One! The time is now!" He screams; "We go to KILL! Come! Quick!"

The city of Kloa was a small, poor settlement in the Siran region's large igneous region. Like multiple urban developments and neighborhoods nestled in the tall traps, it too was secluded in the volcanic walls. The place was, honestly, packed. Humans breed out of control like rats here. They worship the holy heifer, Surasira. An idle goddess, whose servants are cooks and dancers, whom champions pacifist ideals. She's not coming to their aid. They are under the thumb of the Metropolitan Standard Forces, Chemical Immortals organized by the Great World Kingdom to police its lands.

And the Wei are stretched thin in this region, near constantly assigning many officers on patrol to the volcanic traps in search of signs of corruption. The region is a hotbed for sympathies they disdain to grow. It's a place where anyone can hide, if they apply a modicum of carefulness. It's full of the Damned. It's why the Devil chose Kloa today. It was the perfect target, one he'd been saving just for this chance. Waiting a long time for the right circumstances.

First, the drunkard struck in Siegesia, wreaking havoc to the Great Mother's city. Then, it is felt across the world. The universe. A god wave. The impact of such energies could have only meant one thing - That an extraordinary member of a decaying pantheon had been beaten.

This was how he knew it was time to strike.

It was planned for a while. The Chief Torturer laid out a decisive strategy. First, they'd fill the metro lines with their Warriors. Enter the streets, the men on foot would kill from there. It would send the Wei into disarray. The key was to seize the streets and have this urban "shitter" in utter chaos as fast as possible. Then, they could begin shuffling in more of their followers, call them in from among the traps. The Chosen One was brought before their infernal council.

"I... wanh the fat ones." He says to them.

So they put him in charge of the Inebriates. Rotgut will fill the streets, the air, everything. They'll drop like flies.

The killing has began. The Cultists of Death, the Warriors of the Khanate and the Imps are here.

>The Chosen One takes the field. He orders them to gather the fresh impurity that came with every body they dropped in the first shots. Their bodies an be compiled. They can help us open esoteric gates to inflamed apertures by creating the Daemasses to ferry our rot right into their fold.
>The Chosen One's sickly left thumb and rotted pinky searches for his radio in pocket. He lifts it up to a gummy mouth and speaks through the cloth capirote, "C-Commensh". Outside, these engines roared to life. Smashing right through what little traffic goes on intercontinental highways. The crashes will be worthy sacrifices to scatter these great tanks of rot on the outside. We'll melt a moat. None will escape. But none will come back in.

Isolating ourselves too early could be dangerous, and I'm confident our rotgut can make any large concentrations of Wei regret it.

"I-hiii.. I he-aaa...hear music."

"As do I." Concurred the midget.

Their bodies are still warm. It's perfect.

"Deform them."

"As you wish, Chosen One! Oh ho ho! Jolly idea! Jolly idea! COME ON YOU LOT! LABOR!"

The Chosen wills it.

Their bodies shall be broken, the limbs snapped. Throw them into a pile and incinerate the flesh into ashes with dark fire. These bonfires will burn on the bodies, using their Death as fuel. Death creates Kegare and spreads it. Kegare culminates. We burn a firepit of bodies as the bricks, we create Demons from the mass. The Daemass, is what it is called. Those who died can serve us and the Khanate as well, even if they don't want to. Using what has been taught to us, we can create pillars with these flames and nascent Demons.

Flames are gates, through which the Rot shall pass freely.

FIRST HOUR OF CARNAGE.

..

Kloa was cut off. There was only two ways in through the traps. The left, and the right. This city was populated by over five million people. The primary means of transportation was the metro lines, running in and out of the Siran region, to other parts of Shengesia. And now, they were all taken over, used as the trojan for the reckoning. The roads were little traveled by automobile, but now they'd be shut down. Each semi, placed strategically in just the right place, blowing up the tankers full of rot precisely. Not even cars would protect them from it. The roads would be stopped up, but not enough to prevent entry completely.

No, after all, once they finished here with most of them, they could expect the response. The new victims.

But it had to be done before then. Daddy told his Chosen that. So, there was no time for dallying. No time to allow the Wei to mount their significant response. True, there was perhaps a few of their flying dropships of the line around. The Chosen couldn't let there be a lot, could he? No... because then, that would be interference.

And nothing can interfere with the construction effort.

If all things went right today, this region would be black.

...

"Fff...hu-h-hhr... W... Why them?"

"It just gets me to wondering is all, my... My Chosen!" The dwarfish Cultist began; "Why the Inebriates? The fat oafs... lumbering shit for brains. They'll melt all the good bodies with their gruel, their concentrated shits and farts for drink. They'll melt it all to soup. So how then? How we will construct a Necrotower, with no suitable corpses? Why the Inebriated?"

"Be...Because... h... have you ever-ev how... have you ever felt the bottle smash agains-t your skull? H-Have you ever?"

"Well... no..."

"Well... I w-want... I want you... to FEEL IT! I want YOU ALL TO FEEL IT."

"A... Ahh... I see."

"H-haa-h-and if they try melting too many... j-just... shoot them. Kill them too. Myhh. And add them."

"Oi... That really a g-good idea now? Just go killin' each other all willy nilly? Aren't we supposed to be... you know! In this together?"

"Shites that..."

...

FIRST HOUR AND A HALF OF CARNAGE.

Daemasses shine with the grisly fire of doom. Demons shall do as they are told, in their newborn states. These flames will connect to one another, a series of passages through the equinoxes of the Scourge Fronts and the Great Deep's lower recesses. The Damned are mortals, all around the world, discarding all human reason. They shuffle through the passages to where the reckoning of the world starts.

Behold, these numerous, sickly forms of bloat. They either dress themselves in tatters or don't dress at all. A stink trails them, comes from them. Cases holding many bottles on shoulders, tanks on wheels being dragged behind.

"Party's starting boys! WUHAHAHAHA!" Shouted the Marauder among them, strumming an electric guitar.

'Play that music, play it loud! Let us hear through the clouuuuud!'

Smashing the bottles they cast in every window. Spraying it like pesticides on everyone they saw. Large bodies came in a sprint they'd normally be incapable of towards the first unsuspecting crowd they saw.

Noxious fumes were in updraft, upsurging.

The Inebriates were here, flooding the streets. People pray for the gods to be with them, but for the Inebriates, rotgut was with them. Rotgut arose from whatever they drank. It was so easy to make. What better place to defile with Rotgut than the home of those who worshiped Milk and Torpor?

'Awwww, whassa' matter? Don't you dancing freaks like poisonin' yourselves? HAHAHAHA!'

Smell it, your nostrils melt. Bask in the cloud, your skin burns and hair sheds. Clothes sticks to your body. Blood begins inflating in your veins. There's nothing people who just wanted to live their every day lives can do against Rotgut. They simply aren't equipped. All they can do is run and hope they make it.

But with how packed Kloa was, they didn't stand much of a chance.

SECOND HOUR OF CARNAGE.

The city is on high alert. Some two thousand Khanate Warriors entered the heart of the settlement via all the available metro lines, hijacked mid transport through the use of Vengeful Spirits. The passengers found were made into an appetizer in preparation for the main course. Now the Daemasses are up, being erected across the streets to ferry in more of the Damned. The Rotgut is spreading.

The Wei, so encumbered with dealing with such a large settlement on so little forces, finally initiates a state of emergency and declares martial law. The city has a handful of Commissars to report to the Interior Ministry on the situation.

The people are flocking to the Siran Temple in the city, seeking protection and safety. All around the city, people lock their doors and begin boarding up to outlast the encroaching night.

"Chosen One!" Shouts that midget again. It's always the midget.

"The Imperials have Dropships approaching the eastern district! That's where our Daemasses porting in the creatures are! Our creatures are crucial to our effort here! Their riflemen are exchanging fire with our Warriors... so it seems that the Rotgut does not melt the Chemically Immortal so well as it melts the normal."

"What elsh?"

"The Imperials had their lines to the Capital jammed, I sent a Revenant up there to mess things up good, but it looks like they're jumping between systems to get the message through by brute force. They hold up at the guard headquarters in the southern district... they control the whole city from there.... Hehehehe, if we capture that...."

>The Chosen One thought this through for a moment. If the Wei went dark, the Trinity would suspect the worst. A settlement on their mainland, their Imperial world, falling, would be grounds for purification. The fleet will be dispatched, the Samurai will come down to destroy all they see. The Wei's local stronghold can stand for now. A prolonged siege will only bring us more blood.
>Yes, it must go dark, the Chosen One thought. 'We'll cut off their means of controlling the chaos. We'll make their jobs harder, and then slick our bodies in blood. It will become less of a storm, more of a hunting game, with the people here as the prey. We will find them in every last corner and room. We will have enough even to make MORE than one Necrotower. We will test the Kingdom whole!'
>Annoying. So annoying, thought the Chosen One. This midget, this worthless dwarf. He thinks he is worthy to be in the Chosen's presence? He thinks he is some kind of... lackey? Some right hand? That by reporting he's suddenly in graces? He dares question the Chosen?! No. He is weak... He's not worthy, the Chosen thinks.
>The Chosen would consider his options carefully. He'd been watching the force go and do as they please so far but... the bident has gone unused. This, this cannot stand. Daddy is watching! After all! He must want to see something... The Chosen knows what to do. The Siran Temple... we go there.
>The bodies are being laid out. But they must be collected later. It matters not if some are in a somewhat melty state from the billowing Rotgut. They have to be melted in order the prepare the frame of the great fleshy machine that is the Necrotower. The worms, they'll need a nice open area to slip into their armor at. The Chosen elects to take the residential district. It is... a place with a low profile. There is no danger of aerial incursion or worry of orbital bombardment there to distract the construction. They will not expect it.

The midget couldn't agree more, as he rubs his disfigured hands.

"We'll have your prize. We'll have it laid out. He is with us."

"Go!" He said, giving the little runt a push with a prodding toe.

And so he scampers on to carry out these malevolent demands.

TWELFTH HOUR OF CARNAGE.

...

Among the rabble, there were thoughts and dying gasps. Why Kloa? Why the slums? There was other places, so much nicer, if iconoclasm was the grand goal here. The hole at the center of the region led right into the Milky sea. There were structures there well over a thousand years old, so pretty and bright. Why not focus this effort of pillage and needless destruction on those pillars? The red sandstone could not be painted any redder by blood, but by wetting them, there was enough to flow down and pollute the Land of Milk below.

But that was the thing. Slums were perfect. The Kloan slums were a melting pot of everything that was needed for this all to go right. What have we here, but the carelessness of a divine government, in a region historical for its unaligned providence?

Some were undernourished. Roads hadn't been kept up. Not enough money gets sunk into those who are semi-heretical. There's only so much quality good food can bring to life, but it's not enough to distract overall. Stress builds when one fears the floor below going right out under their feet. Precipitation leaks in the places not properly patched up, weakening architectural foundations.

The western district held where most of Kloa's citizens disparaged by their own sovereignty lived. Homes were mostly duplexes and apartment buildings with forty rooms each. Families lived inside, and one room or house was enough for ten members. But there were homeless as well, who turn to the path of the ascetic to mitigate the problems of their poorness.

Now, they were laying out on the roads, seeing there were hardly any use for them by a lack of vehicles. So it was a good deal of space to set things like their bodies.

When the Chosen One ordered that area to be encircled, the Warrior caste did so with haste. Fishing people out of their homes, making an example of anyone who resists. They had some fun all the while with who they found. The Inebriates were working on the underground. They had to turn that into the perfect trap, filling it with their intoxicating fogs to drive out hiders and discourage them as an option. It was little worry for anyone that would try to escape the city on foot. Where were they going to flee? The expanse of the dusty volcanic traps? To die of thirst or of being famished? Or by seeking help, from one of many isolated neighborhoods and homes across the traps, only to find more of the Damned and their covens.

The Wei were held up in the southern district of the city, ushering who they could behind their barriers and closing off streets. They were phoning home to the Fortress of Karma, to the Capital under Heaven and Easterlind City, asking for backup, calling on increased numbers of the Shen Ce, the divine strategical forces.

Their dropships were dispatched to make supply runs and gather reinforcements. The ones that remained held their own, nobody on foot was a match for a flying hulk that fired brilliant light. But the creatures were doubling. Soon the Night Gaunts would amass to take them down.

Faith is weak. The illusion of Surasira's afterlife is soon broken by the sight of many a soul still lingering past their end. The Death Knell rang.

"Chosen One!"

Here comes the midget.

"I bring reports."

"Shbeak."

He bows his head; "The Necromancers have arrived. They've come to breed the Killer Worms to fill the crevices between the armor. It will take them some time."

"How... long...?"

"They say they need a day or two. We will have to buy them that time.... But, there is another matter."

"Say."

"A holy woman is preaching."

"W-Who?"

"Over the city speakers."

Her name was Eyara Lahhal. She was the head priestess of the blessed cooks, taken from the Siran Temple by the Wei. She had little choice when demanded she begin preaching to the people, being a person whom they listen to. The Siran dogma was utterly discarded. After all, faith was breaking. After all, the cow relied upon the Lokas of Heaven's authority to begin with... and this must be clarified.

She preaches for the Xanthous Emperor now. His name is Huangdi. He is the holiest, and he is the almighty. His foe is the Devil these monsters are following. That Devil has many names. His foremost is HEUS, "He Who Is us". He is the Dark One that rules he Afterseas, the netherworld. He is the one that has launched a jihad against all things good in the world.

The Emperor opposes him.

While it may be the Siran region, it is in the Imperial World of Shengesia. This city is His. And He strikes with vengeance. Believe, and you will be saved by a mighty power. His servants are divine because He allows it. Divine servants will destroy the dark.

The Final War is very real...

The midget fidgets with his lack of fingers; "Their forces are trying to make a breakthrough from out of the southern slices. They're pushing towards and occupying this factory for vehicles."

"Hmhm! HMHM! MHM! HM HM! MHMHMHYAHAHA! HAHAHAAHA! HYEAHA! H-HEAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! F-FACTORY?! FOR VEHICLES! WHERE THERE'S HARDLY NONE?!"

"What's so funny about that?"

"HAAAAA! They m-make vehicurs... for the Capital. T-They don't get them, don't drive them them-themselves! S-So obvious.... so... burns me up INSIDE!"

"Hm. Yes, the irony is not lost on me."

>So, the course was clear. They had to preach back. Already, these people were pathetic. But who can we say is at fault for that? They are ruled by their goddess, and their goddess does not rule them? What repressions must they feel? What repressions could be extracted? He called for Ambula Khan, the Darkhan that knew the Address of HEUS. (ANARCHY FOR ALL)
>This holy woman, this was not something the Chosen could allow to stand for much longer. If she gets in their heads, they'll all be filled with nonsense. They'll suddenly gain newfound will in the face of Terror. She insolent. For this, she will pay dearly. (PROJECTING MY PROBLEMS)
>The Wei was testing the waters. Cocky motherfuckers, all of them. Pushing against real soldiers? Thinking they had any chance. They will be pushed back, the Chosen will lead. Time must be gained for victory. (MIGHT MAKES RIGHT)
>The Chosen chose to idle around here. Take hostages. The Imperials will be petrified when they realize there's still many lives stuck behind enemy lives. Each one is a soul they risk losing. They needed someone willing to cooperate, if only to tie up the rabble. Markishire Opes is chosen from the survivors. He is a psychiatrist, he will be the useful puppet and liaison. (SUBVERSION OF EXPECTATIONS)
>The Chosen One realizes what would be helpful here. A rival. The nemesis, for the narrative he was starring in. The one who was to be the hero of Kloa's sacking. The one that was meant to be cheered for. (THE SPECTACLE)

And like all who were insolent, a holy woman or not, it would not be different for the Damned.

For while their flesh architects and Necromancer expertise gathered to begin the ritual of the breeding, their Warriors occupying the city defenders, the ghosts and the crooked would go swift. The Chosen One knew he brought those Shanlin for a reason. Nothing but professionals, their outfit concerned with anything unlawful. To be honest, they were likely among the more sensible of the horde. The Dark One's coffers are ever expanding with all he conducts, so it is easy to pay the Shanlin the one thing they do want in life, more money. It was almost sad to consider what they'd soon become. Exposure is a killer of character, and when money can justify taking part in any act by merely being high enough, these 'professionals' will soon discard their standards, their dignity.

...

FIFTEENTH HOUR OF CARNAGE.

..

Out into the encroaching night. That was the best time to strike, the refugee center hadn't been put together just yet. Slipping in was easy. Leaving was a different story, but that's why they sent ghosts, making their devices to flicker and vision blur. It was a simple matter, of shooting down the first person to spot them, barging into the right tent and grabbing the women. All of them, not just the holy woman. A holy woman of Surasira would be accompanied by others, and women are a resource. Though, perhaps more to the Damned, who like their resource in pristine shape, and unlike the Wei, who fire indiscriminately at human meat shields, honing only on taking down the enemy, thus incurring the loss of some resource, but not all.

Eyara Lahhal was his.

Now, she would pay.

And pay she did.

Dearly. With everything, once affixed to her manacles. She thought she was doing something altruistic, didn't she? Her face is given a slap by three-fingers every time she answers wrong or rebukes, and then the burning mark is sensually caressed all the same. The Chosen One's technique was learned by experience after all.

'W-Why do this?!'

"I... I'm just s-shh-showing you your place."

He sets her free with a harsh tug. No amount of tears were deterring him, but emboldening him.

SIXTEENTH HOUR OF CARNAGE.

...


Her body is broken, but her spirit is not. Not yet. She resists. It's foolish, but she does.

Why, wonders the Chosen.

"W-Why not givenin?"

'Because,' she started; 'you did.'

And he was exactly the result.

And it infuriated the Chosen One to no end. Because he did, she can't. And this was no good. No good for him. He'll have to shut her mouth for that. If only he still had his tongue, he thought.

...

Resistance. Oh how he'd come to hate it in twenty years.

"Chosen One!" Came the midget, lumbering near; "Word from your Shanlin. The bloody fools failed to share it in last night's outing, too busy slamming pigs to inform us well that the Wei have MAGES in their fold, and confound that, for they foil our spirits in the field. Belkinsir magic, that. And we all know what happens to be vulnerable to that." he added, lifting a pinky towards the Necromancers at work.

'But that is not all, Chosen. Tanks. Tanks are on the way.'

"Tanksh?!"

'Relics they. Seems they'll drag any mothballed junk out the gutter long as it still shoots good.'

>Time for an exchange. They would agree to send the holy woman and the women back, so long as the Wei does no cross into the streets with those vehicles, and near the residential area. They'll have no choice but to agree. (FAKE DIPLOMACY)

It was the people. It had to be the people. The Wei would be merciless in their endeavor to take back Kloa. They'd set the people to work, what with all the tools and resources they had on their side for manufacturing and restoring vehicles. They were likely under the impression that if they helped the Wei to contain the presence of the Damned in their city and confine them from the streets, they'd be able to rescue their loved ones and the holy woman whom they held in high regard.

The Chosen trembled.

"NO!" he cursed. It would not happen. They had to break. They couldn't be allowed to overturn or tip this precious stalemate held in the city, or else by the time reinforcements arrived, the Damned would be in danger. He makes a brash decision, and impales the holy woman on the bident, before impaling her again. She wouldn't break, then she would suffer, her final hour would be one that was excruciating, and finally she did scream, utterly hopeless. One success. But no more.

The body was mounted on a pole and taken out during the night set where the Wei could find it. When they found the grisly mess left behind, it hit the people like a wave.

But they did not fall even lower. This time, they stood up somewhat. They had guns now, the Wei began arming the people with spares and unused weapons.

'This is our city!' Cries the followers of Surasira, the Wei all too eager to send them to die in their stead. And they would without mercy, for now by fighting alongside their authority and behaving, they'd earned second chances in the Lokas. This death would not be their end, and so many spirits had just been denied to the Damned who reap. Denied to the Afterseas. It was a bungle to kill the holy woman. It only galvanized the peasants.

A cold sweat trickled down the Chosen's neck, absorbing into the cloth of his capirote. With a rising pulse, he breathed in a panic. The name he wished to discard was whispered into his ears by somebody who wasn't there.

'Are you even listenin' to me?!' Snapped the midget.

'I said, they've got fresh reinforcements from Easterlind City!' He rehashed; 'Shen Ce's now arrived, and they're giving our Warriors a helluva time down there in the Garbage Heap! Haven't been able to gain any ground, in fact we've lost some!'

The midget paced back and forth, throwing his arms up and down. It was like he thought he was the leader here.

'And to top it all off, shits lot of good those Inebriates did us. The fat barstords are all congregating underground, not helping!'

The underground, it has become a catacombs, filled with Rotgut. The fumes trickle up through vents and the sewers, leaking into the streets above. But compared to the advent, it was a breeze. One could not tell the Inebriates what to do, they were without a master. Not even Tenbhur could order the Inebriated around, it always came down to a fight. Now, those cultists the Chosen had brought were nicely settled, occupying the underbelly of Kloa. Useless to the cause.

Startled. The Chosen was startled. If anymore Shen Ce reinforcements were to arrive, and not far behind them, the Samurai, greatest of all concerns, then this will have all been for naught but a guileless bloodbath. It was clear the stalemate was hardly worth keeping up now, for by applying no pressure, the enemy was quick to amplify! It must be tipped now, but in the Chosen's favor.

For the Necromancers so report that now the Killer Worms had bred. They were swarming, nearly out of control. The time was nigh to begin building.

'Why the hell are we sitting out here like ducks, Chosen?'

The midget grit his teeth.

'Why haven't we simply tried to capture even more of this shitty city's rats? At this rate, we'll all be done for.'

The midget doubted the Chosen now. He, a lowly worm, knowing he had no place or right to this existence, seeking to get by through being the Devil's advocate, annoyingly. The midget was nothing but a demagogic stooge, doubting the Chosen. Most likely, he thought in his head 'why him, and not me who was chosen?'

Tanks, and men. Chemically Immortal Shen Wu and Shen Ce, buffeting the Warriors. They were good soldiers, but far from invincible. And now, their dropships were back, and unloading supplies...

Wordlessly, the Chosen One bore the bident handed down. His moment of regarding its bronze form was but a distraction to the midget, who had overstepped himself for the last time.

'GH-UK!'

And then been pierced.

'...Grkk... w-why me...?'

"Be-Because, you are.... weak."

The Chosen did not believe they had the right to exist. It was his right to excise the followers he deemed unworthy, and the midget was one. He hadn't know why up to this point he tolerated such an existence. But it was fine. He was gone now, and all that remained was his fear. Yes, and fear was good, for what he had planned.

To incarnate fear, they needed flesh. The Necromancers would have to stall for a time on the wider project of assembling the armor now that the worms had bred and multiplied. A sum of it was needed for fears to gain skin, and so he put them to work on spawning these next horrors with the Daemasses. Flesh was everything, it was the resource of the Khanate. Flesh was malleable.

From this, the Unholy Things rose, and sauntered off.

...

TWENTY NINTH HOUR OF CARNAGE.

...

The people ran. Once so emboldened as to charge the lines, now they ran. The Unholy Things drove them off, wherever they were seen. The mere sight aroused such Terrors hiding inside men, they screamed and gave up. The tanks, a mighty sight indeed, quickly are abandoned by their drivers, as the Chemically Immortal were not trained to use the hulks of metal. They needed civilian drivers, and now they were deprived of them. The Garbage Heap is being overran now. Not even the Shen Ce can keep up with fighting through a crowd of their own fleeing civilians, not with the Warriors closing in.

'My Chosen.'

The head Necromancer of the team approached Richard. Unlike the foolish midget from before, now nothing but a blood sacrifice, this Necromancer held the Chosen in a higher, more venerating regards.

'The Warriors claim they have captured every tank fielded by the Kloans. Now, they are ours.'

The people of the city were all flocking back to their little fortress around the Wei headquarters in the city. Such a congestion of unordered rabble running, with their Shen Ce protectors right behind them, clogged in the back, made the situation stressful. The Wei had no choice but to turn some people away to go running elsewhere in the city, and take their chances. It is the problem a city of five million faces. But the numbers were falling steadily.

For Kloa must burn.

...

THIRTIETH HOUR OF CARNAGE.
ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THOUSAND PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED.
CASUALTIES ARE RISING.

...

'The Warriors are overtaking the Garbage Heap. The stalemate you sought with the Wei is breaking.'

"N... Now we can surround them?"

'Perhaps. But, there is now another problem, my Chosen.'

"That b-being?"

'Their Dropships, rather beyond our means to take down with mere foot soldiers and roving beasts... are burning the dead out in the field. Our Warriors have reported this, while running for cover and making mad dashes where they begin bathing the streets in light. As well, because many are dying of disease from the Rotgut in the southern district, we've felt flames roaring with our senses for Spiritua and Materia. They are roaring furnaces to burn their dead. They are depriving us of precious flesh resources.'

The Necromancer sighed.

'And beyond that, there is not a whole lot to eat, and continue this battle on. Not everyone of our Warriors has yet embraced cannibalism, unlike us Cultists. This city was already poor and destitute, with little food compared to the more gentrified center of the region, and it was quickly absorbed by everyone who could grab it during the outbreak. Our Warriors have consumed everything they found, now they and our hostages will certainly starve slowly. All because they refuse to eat meat.'

"Y-You mean human m... nnn... meat."

'Meat is meat, my Chosen. Everything that walks grows the same way. There is little sacredness to such a thing. Even still, our highest priority is ensuring that the flesh we have remains in ample amounts. It takes ten thousand bodies to create a single Necrotower, and we plan to raise many.'

>The Chosen had enough then. It was inevitable that they would face a great effort to cleanse the city from outside. The Samurai would come soon. The Wei had to be curbed for now. He ordered the Warriors to assault and destroy the southern district with all monsters.
>There was little use to maintain hostages anymore. Damned are they, but mortal still, and mortals cannot be denied their impulses, even the impulse to stay alive, contrary to HEUS' wish for men to die and become undead. The Chosen would have the hostages slaughtered and harvested. The Necromancers would serve them as a secret to the rest of the Damned.
>The Chosen had to keep the Damned in line with the Dark One's wish somehow. He would have a number of them killed and resurrected to become shining examples of the fruits of aligning with the Dark Lord. A wraith wave would soon march.
>The Chosen thinks now that the Inebriates have run their course, their usefulness was... spent. Bombs would be pass around, to detonate throughout the undercrofts of the city, blasting up to the surface and collapsing the streets. The Rotgut would be released to eat the air above, and kill again.

Top Ten Afterseas Pranks

"The Inebriatehd..."

'What of them?'

"K-Kill them."

'My Chosen?'

"G... Give them bombs... l-let them blow themselves up..."

'Well, as you wish.' The Necromancer complied readily, not daring to question his Chosen's decision.

The Inebriated were considered widely by the Afterseas to be... useful and useless. The drunkards, minds eroded, were effective and efficient killers whose fuming substances would eradicate all it touched, but their worship of inebriation could not be compatible with a hierarchy. Not even driving others by the whip was possible with them.

The underground of Kloa had become a toxic waste from their congregation. Nothing but constant drinking of the Rotgut and parties, as well as fights breaking out senselessly among them. It's like they came simply because they wanted a new hole to drink in. Yet, they themselves wouldn't know why they even came, their minds were so dulled down.

The Warriors had a large supply of munitions with them, with the scrap worked, refurbished artillery they brought with them, as well as explosives for all occasions, passed about by the Imps, who could stand the deteriorating Rotgut in their unholy armors.

The explosions shook Kloa. They were timed in many places.

Of the Inebriated, only those who remained above ground or away from the sinkholes rapidly forming were spared.

Much of the Middle, the general area uniting every district of Kloa, was sunken. Collapsed, as the underground did, bringing streets and floors across the city down under. The metro station and tunnels were all under rubble, and the sewers and access ways were all caved in. Buildings toppled, blocking off many paths and streets. The Rotgut released like air from a bag or a pocket. Many stragglers were unfortunate enough to be caught in it.

Now, there was no way out of the city via the underground where the Damned came, and collecting bodies across the city became an arduous task, with so many being lost in the ensuing collapses. The only portions of the underground still left intact were those protected directly underneath the Wei's grounds, sealed off. Yet, they could never hope to distribute enough gas masks to the populace in order to save them from the oncoming clouds of Rot. There weren't enough to go around...

Rot. It ate everything. What erodes and eats the man from within can erode and eat everything without. The human was the pillar. Inebriation was the destruction of his faculty, and the death of his organs.

The Damned could now control the city, wherever in it they went about, capturing those lost among the streets. From where things had been left in one piece, they found new resources to fuel themselves on. Kloa was won.

The Wei had no choice but to retreat. Using the Dropships still at their disposal, they began to ferry people out day and night, pulling back all their forces to hold down their position. They could transport almost a thousand out every hour, but not to Easterlind City, or even other areas of the Siran Region. These people had witnessed the Final War too long, they were undesirables now. They qualified for judgment, to be tested in their faith in the Emperor and given their final rites by the Temple when it arrived, for this life. They would not see a proper city of the Trinity, relegated instead to a refugee encampment not far from Kloa, but far enough to be out of danger's way. One they were expected to set up themselves, of the three million left that the Wei had secured.

"T-They've escaped... they are escaping!"

The Chosen paced back and forth on the rooftop of the Middle's highest building.

"They... they're going... mmm. No.... Nn-mm. T-They'll Peace Butcher them. F-fff... nnn!"

Musing.

"And if they do that, I-I'll loseeethymEEMMM! F-FUCK IT! I'll fucking! Nnn! Mssstttt!" He sucked in air.

'What you clamoring about now?'

He didn't face the head Necromancer, looking over the roof to the cloudy street below.

"T-T-d-duh-The spirits! We need them! Master needs them! He w-wants them! I can't let them go! I have to do something about that... f-fucking camp... but the Samurai. They'll be here." He spat, slamming his three fingered fist onto the rail.

'Maybe you should get them Necromancers into high gear. Maybe take the Wei out already, that 'wei' they can't transport anymore resource. Dumbfuck.' He heard, practically feeling the spittle from those words hit his back.

"D-Didn't I already tell you d-that you were weak?"

'Of course.' The Midget smiled.
'You did bloody kill me because you're the big man. And the big man has to kill the little one so he can survive, right? But you aren't a big man yourself, just a clown in a capirote promoted by your dominatrix, innit'? What's to say none of them won't do the same once they sniff you out, Chosen? After all, if you're gonna believe might's right...'

The Chosen looked up from the street. He turned around to the rooftop and preparing to hit that man. But there was nobody there. He talked to no one.

Was it true, he wondered? Would someone seek to succeed him? Him, of all people? The only one who has the honor to be called the 'Chosen'. It was Richard Ray Peat who got that honor and him alone, not any of these nameless, horned minions! That was what he reckoned. But if he keeps going on talking about how those without strength must be culled, how worthless things need to be erased in the world...

'What's your answer?' Asked nobody.

>The Chosen saith... (Write in.)

>"I-I will make it s-so no on-onh can doubt my strength and leadership, b-but should any f-fuh try his luck he'll pay t-the price dearly."

"I-I will make it s-sho no on-onh can doubt my strength-gth! And leadership... b-but, should any f-fuh...fucker try his luck, he'll pay t-the price dearly. Fi-Find out!"

'Buhuhuhu.' Laughed nobody.

As they went to speak again, the Chosen grabbed his bident leaned against the rail. He twisted around and smashed a lamp hanging on the nearby wall.

"SH-SILENCE!"

'Awww, piss poor little baby thinks he can shut me up just because he asked for it?'

"I SAID SILENCE!" He screamed, louder, voice straining.

The Chosen demands silence, so why hasn't it come? He wonders this. He shook his head, it wasn't supposed to be. He turned around and ran, jumping off the rails, falling six stories. Something he could do only because he wasn't a normal mortal, not anymore. He could smash into the asphalt and dirt and concrete below, sending dust aloft and rise yet with only a groan.

He growled, impotently.

"Silence!" He said, rising with the bident.

The Middle was quiet yet, however, and he failed to notice.

"Silence! Silence! S-Silence! Sh... Shilence! SILENCE!"

No, the Chosen thought. Never, not in a million years. Then why is he now, he wondered? That midget, he was always weak. He was always worthless. He died like a coward, in fear. How could he be so smug now? When it was him who was gored on the bident. The Chosen One wasn't gored yet, so he was stronger.

'I'm over here.'

He looks left.

A building untouched by the rubble, stranded in the Middle that had yet to be truly engulfed in struggle. There, he saw more weaklings, and they were guarding the midget. The midget, and all his midget friends.

What would he see? He has to ask himself this. What would his men see? What would daddy see when they looked at the midget? Weaklings? Underlings? Slaves?

"I will show you, little g-guy."

The midget was weak. The Chosen was strong. So the strong had to eat the weak, in order to survive, because the weak could not eat the strong. If you were without strength, you didn't belong in this world as the Chosen, who gummed now at his plentiful reaping, twenty heads counted down below, so short and fragile that not even the bident bestowed was needed for the harsh lesson of how the "real world" was, according to him. Them, and their maiden caretakers.

And the Chosen thought this was good, because now there was silence.

FIFTY NINTH HOUR OF CARNAGE.

...

The Necromancer head came before him again as he sluggishly trotted into their camps.

'You don't look so well.'

"Make them eat."

'Pardon?'

"Make them eat flesh. K-Kill anyone who doesn't."

'...I see. The Warriors will never disobey an order to kill. Even if it is each other they're killing. It will be done.'

The Chosen sauntered past, and the head Necromancer's head followed him as he went.

'But, there is another matter.'

He stopped.

"The e-encampment?"

'Not just that. We've suffered some losses here.'

"Here?!"

And he finally looked to his aide, whose face remained hidden behind animal skulls.

'Strange sorts, something we've never encountered before. They were not seen coming, and wielded the katana and gun indifferently. They took us by surprise, grabbing a number of hostages and fleeing with them. When our Warriors gave chase, they found nothing.'

"Nothing...?"

'Like they had disappeared without a trace. Chased into dead ends and yet gone in the flash. All while... and I do mean this with all due respect, you've been out doing whatever it is you have been doing. I see by that vomit on your mantle... Gorging perhaps? Had an awakening?'

"None of y-hrr, business."

'...'
'Regardless, we must settle this matter. With the Wei relocating their foothold outside the city and transporting resource from the headquarters they still hold down, and the sudden attacks by these grey warriors, we require guidance.'

Across the Siran Region, the Wei was stretched thin. The Trinity may have ruled the region as it was part of the Imperial World of Shengesia, but their rule was light as per their agreements and mutual understandings with the Great Heifer, the Mother Goddess known as Surasira. As was already known, the region was a hotbed for sympathies.

Sympathies for the Afterseas and its various ideals.

A message can trigger an uprising.

"H-Hear me now... followers... and brothersssh of HE-US. The time has c-come. Now we will see who'sh a hunter and who is the h... hunted. Ri-sh up now. RISE! Rise and fulfill the will of Hy-Hyoos! HE-US! Take blade to throat and fire gun at all you see! Trust in your master and he shall certainly guide y-you to a weapon! There... is no reason to do what you will. Simply do, and have the world of y-your desires gifted to you. The time is now."

An uprising anywhere that the pox of the Dark One has been felt at, for any reason.

Rockets pop in cockpits. Stabbings rage out of control. Whatever red they could find, they put on and wore. There was little search done for a weapon, the Wei had already made a grave, desperate mistake arming the Kloans with their surplus. And it didn't matter that the Wei technically had more guns on their side than the new Damned swelling among them did, for Kloans would refuse to shoot other Kloans, even if it were the Kloans that didn't.

Many people had been planted among the rabble months prior in preparation for this day. Just as with any city, it was an uncertainty who was secretly a Damned and who was beginning to become one. They hid themselves well, and all but outright reading their mind failed to expose them for what they were. In the Siran Region, this move was well practiced. The Dark Lord had a follower in every settlement in the world, that was guaranteed. Even if it was a single person, every settlement had one.

So now the Wei were faced with further disharmony. People were terrorizing them from the inside, anarchists, the easiest of their bunch. Yet, they had been taken by such surprise in the midst of their struggles, that they lost a number of their Dropships when the newly initiated terrorists followed the message they heard and acted. More than what the Chosen even expected to fulfill the call answered, and now only one hundred thousand of the three million left in Kloa abroad were safe and away from harm's reach.

...

SEVENTY SEVENTH HOUR OF CARNAGE.
TWO MILLION HAVE BEEN KILLED.

...

It took a while for the Wei to kill all the awakened anarchists among their group, suffering a staggering loss of two thousand civilians in the process. Now all they could hope to do was hold out and pray the Emperor gave their Shen Ce the strength to pull through the Kloan crisis still raging.

But they had a glimmer of hope left, with reinforcements surely on the way from Easterlind City, did they not? Or the Samurai en route from the Capital now even.

But, at any moment, monsters beyond the Wei's ability to control and contain could burst forth and break their stronghold, leaving the city entirely laid bare to the Damned. The Commissar senior among them thought he had no choice now but to engage in a final, risky ploy.

He issued a challenge to the Chosen One, arranging a duel to take place in the Middle. It was a simple ploy, but if pulled off effectively, a miraculous one. For by killing the Chosen, the cohesion of the Damned and their beasts, something barely extant as is, would be broken in an instant. The HEUSites would devour each other right away, and the result, even if it were a failure, would still satisfy the Dark Lord regardless.

But what was important was that, if he succeeded, the crisis would be over in no time.

But if he failed? The crisis continued.

The Chosen, receiving this message, had to make a choice now, and decide what meant more to him. His will to serve his rapist? Or his pride? His belief in might maketh right, or his need to live...

>The Chosen accepted the challenge and went to face the Commissar in the Middle.
>The Chosen accepted the challenge, and ensured his victory by any dirty means.

Of course, might does make things right. Might puts things to rights. But, one must survive, even at the cost of others falling. Especially if others fall. All these things and more are something that the Destroyer of Light pushes for.

And it is so very confusing, that malice. All encompassing hatred, of even itself. The destruction and eradication of all foundations, even the destruction of destruction itself. What did the Devil truly even want? Perhaps it was nil, or perhaps it was simply unending spirals of chaos and anarchy.

The Chosen shakes his head and clears his mind. The Devil is truly beyond a mortal's cognizance, and that was why he was so great, wasn't he? The Chosen has to survive, but he has to prove he is strong as well. He is not like other mortals, but the Chemically Immortal Commissar was indeed stronger still. A jian of iconel-chromium would not carve the bident, but the Chosen's body would not wear the strike. He had to ensure this fight was not his last. Insta-Rust, an offensive solution produced by the Cultists of KILLALL, it was one of their favorite ways to deal with the Chemical Immortals and their less organic beings. The corrosive substance had to be contained in a special leather weaved from the skin walls of the depths in Dis. It would eat right through their bodies, and their nerves, causing them most noisome pain, even if they were not designed to feel it.

And so the challenge transpired in the Middle. The Chosen met with the Commissar, their cohorts staying their ground. Bident and jian were raised against each other.

The Chosen hurled the Insta-Rust hidden under his sleeve all over his opponent as they locked weapons, and he fell over.

The Chosen went to impale him then, but a blade scoured his back, and he screamed, swinging wildly behind himself at seemingly thin air, only then noticing the grey form that came to assault him. One of them, the ones the Necromancer spoke of, come to assassinate him in the confusion.

The grey warrior rose, and sliced again with his sword at the Chosen...

...and the Chosen's arm flew, now a left stump alone. He felt all feelings go cold in his body, paralyzed by the fear filling him then. It was a terrifying sensation, because now there was nothing there to feel where there should be. His glazed eyes focused out, away from the grey arrival, and more to the blade he wielded. The vibrating, molecular disrupting blade of a Samurai for sure.

The Chosen squealed like a pig, and stumbled back on his feet, clutching the bident he now wielded with one hand and three fingers only. He stabbed forth, a reaction that transpired all of a sudden with little actual thought put behind it, and he skewered the grey warrior, but they dislodged themself and backed off, not truly put down by the stroke. The Commissar who had challenged the Chosen, eroding steadily into a pile of melting rust, but not nearly gone just yet, rose, and raised that jian at the Chosen.

The Chosen was truly afraid. Him, afraid. When he was supposed to be the fear. The dreaded father couldn't have been more amused and displeased at the same time...

The Commissar moved forward then, swinging that jian down at the Chosen who dodged in that moment, letting the blade harmlessly smash the concrete below. The Chosen felt curtains fall over his eyes, purple drapes of frenzy. His gums bled, pressed in his mouth. The taste of his own blood sent him over the edge. He screamed out like a wild animal and swung the bident around, slicing across the Commissar's neck with its second blade and leaving the head hanging on by a thread, until it fell off completely and the body stumbled down and over.

Feet thumped the concrete below. The grey warrior came charging again, but the Chosen reacted quickly and hurled his bident, piercing them again through the chest. Their run ground to a halt until they fell to their knees, and the Chosen grabbed the fallen Commissar's jian then to finish the job, slamming the blade over and over again into the figure's helmet until they were dead, until their head was busted wide open, nothing but faint sprays of blood and electric sparkles released through.

He retrieved his gifted weapon and raised it to the air, howling wildly. For the first time, he could scream like an animal. He had this right.

And yet, now that the fight was over, there was only silence.

Nobody had saw. Most had left. The Wei began to pull back at the order of a second Commissar the moment they saw their senior begin to melt. The Warriors of the Khanate left the moment their Chosen lost his arm. To them, he was a goner. There was little reason to stay behind for him now... And why would they? The Head Necromancer was the driver behind the very reason they were here. The Chosen until now, had simply been the one to lead the charge. They saw him weaken. He was now bereft of any strength. And that blood rush...?

...

Just like the Midget said.

None had witnessed his triumph, his one moment of glory. Why was he deprived?

"Y-You think... You think I-I need an au-audience?"

The Chosen's knee slammed the dirt and concrete below, as did his fist. If he had any teeth left to grit, he surely would have, but settled for gumming himself to bleed again as always.

"Ghaaaaaah....!. FUCK THEM! I'M A SURVIVOR. I-I'LL L-LIVE FOREVER! THISH-- THIS IS J-JUHST A F-FA-C-CKING SCRATCH!

He said this to nobody in particular.

"I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT ANYONE'S BULLSHIT VALIDATION! STRENGTH IS MY FAMILY!! MY ONLY FAMILY!!! AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!!"

Before he fell over slowly into the dirt and sparse patches of concrete pavement. His face plummet direct into a puddle that formed from a busted pipe which exploded during the detonation of the Inebriates. His scream turned into a gurgle before he rolled over. And then, the scream interrupted for the minute, with the rush of battle gone now leaving him to remember the pain he felt. It struck him like a blazing vehicle, and he groaned out, before screaming again, clutching the stump where formerly his left arm was attached as it bled out.

He gasped for air, ripping off the capirote choking his face and neck.

"Why...?"

Why indeed.

In that moment, the Chosen sought...
