I'm begged to join the Legion of the dead
I never wished to be one of the Dead.
Being one of the Dead isn’t what normal people normally pray for. But that's the problem, I'm not normal.
Although, in this context, being Dead doesn’t truly mean you are dead—at least, not entirely.
It is a state between life and death. Where your soul lingers, your humanity fades, and something else begins to take its place.
And yet… I chose it.
No.
I was chosen.
And now, having accepted this existence, it has become my deepest need to become the most evolved of the Dead.
Once, I was nothing more than an orphan—just another forgotten boy surviving in the slums, living inside a rusting, converted bus my uncle once used to cook drugs.
I fought to survive, 'cause aside from my not so caring uncle, I had no one.
Well, not until Death found me.
That was when everything changed.
Death exposed me to the true reality hidden beneath the illusion of what I once believed the world to be.
I saw monstrous things—demons, fallen warriors, and necromantic beings raised through forbidden magic.
Souls dragged back from death and forced into existence once more, but in monstrous forms.
I saw creatures—evils and beasts—that threatened to devour our entire sphere.
Then, I also learned the truth.
Earth is not the only sphere that exists.
There are countless others, each inhabited by different species and creatures.
There is the Elven Sphere—the world of the elves.
The Orcanian Sphere, home of the orcs—green-skinned beings shaped like humans, yet far from them.
And the Dwarken Spheres—the domain of the dwarves.
And then… there is the Forbidden Sphere.
The sphere of monstrosities.
A realm where demons, abominations, and horrors beyond imagination are born. It is from this sphere that the horrors come.
These spheres do not exist in isolation. They connect and at times overlap. They bleed into one another… and into ours.
Yes… bleed.
It is not many times that you will just suddenly wake up and find out that the friend beside you all this while has been an elf or an orc that entered to explore your world, but was hidden from you all this while because you lacked the sight to see through nature.
When I was found by death, that was when I learned all this, when I learned who I was, the power within me, my truth, and my destiny.
And now, I must navigate through all these worlds and fight all these monsters and demons in order to keep our sphere and other spheres safe.
Because if I don't...
Our sphere—and every other—will fall.
