Nightmares

Creatures that appeared from the unknown a millennium ago continuously threatened humanity, pushing and pressuring people who once inhabited it aside. These Entities brought the world into utter chaos, furthering their influence to what was once a land that belonged to its rightful owner.

In the end, humanity was forced to adapt. 

They kept trying different ways to fend off the Nightmares, and the solution they finally settled on was… why not become one themselves?

Cesar Sparrow, an unfortunate fellow born in an era full of corruption, horror, and the unknown, was desperately trying to escape from its clutches… until he found an enigmatic, dying eyeball that latched itself onto him.

“Hehehe, what a great fellow you are,”
“How are you talking—. Just what are you…?”

The dying eye that latched itself to his empty, bleeding eye socket chuckled, its voice groggy as it answered.

“What do you think am I? I’m just an old and weak Nightmare, Sparrow. Though, you can call me Eyes of Deceit. And I'll borrow your body for a moment if you won't mind. Hehe,”

"No, why would I give you my body?! Get the fuck out!"

Entrapping himself in a series of encounters, uncovering secrets that belong to the Nightmares… and the humanity wanted to remain hidden, Cesar Sparrow ventures into the unknown.

To keep struggling, to keep resisting, to keep persevering… will all that be enough?

Will he be finally the one to break the chains humans had found themselves in, ending a millennium of suffering? Or succumb to the curse of the Nightmares?

'What in the fucking story progression is this—'


Cesar saw the Librarian vanish from its original position and move to strike, halting his sprint abruptly.


At the point of impact where the Librarian intercepted his path stood the same Nightmare currently looking at him. 


Full of malice from its cross eyes, the librarian who was three times Cesar's height flipped the pages of his book before reaching something inside of it.


Once it did, the Librarian released a humungous sword that towered over the five-meter Nightmare. But the surprise didn't just end there. The librarian released more books inside and started bringing out the same humungous sword in the same fashion and the same manner.


Cesar didn't even get to intervene because there was the heretic watching his movement with amusement. Completely facing a two-versus-one situation, Cesar had to be careful with his future actions, afraid that he'd be more in danger instead of helping himself.
