Darkness. The ultimate ruler, the true One-Above-All. Everything starts from it, and everything returns to it eventually. People say that in your final moments, darkness seeps in your very existence, engulfs your whole being. They say it’s an incredibly relaxing feeling that takes you on your journey to your afterlife. They say that in the very darkness, the ‘nothingness’ your weary soul will finally be able to rest and relax. This brings up some very philosophical and existential questions. Do you even exist?

Follow the epic journey of Aiden, the last primal, a unique and ancient race as he finds his place in a strange, new world, filled with threats and violence.

This story (and the world itself) is something I started writing and creating 15 years ago, while I was telling stories with my friends in our regular D&D sessions. The world is a hand-crafted fantasy world, filled with history and lore that we created over the course of years. While I may be new to the writing scene, I will do my very best to bring you an enjoyable experience. 

Hope you enjoy the journey just as much as I enjoyed creating it.

The Last Primal

Looking at the black substance that substituted as blood, Aiden thought back to the illusion. The quest he received from the system said that he had to banish and cleanse the Nightmare, this unknown entity that corrupted their host's minds.

Every time he banished one, and as their hosts overcame their clouded thoughts, feelings, or died in the case of the terrorists, a similar substance evaporated into the air. It was only for a fragment of a moment, but Aiden still managed to catch the sight several times.

While not completely the same, the feeling he got from looking at the oozing thick black substance was the same.

'So, he is also affected by the Nightmare… Their influence on him is probably higher than in the previous cases. Hmm…' Aiden was thinking to himself.
