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?

Nightmare Mythos

The moment the announcement rang from that communicator, the soldiers and Cesar had no choice but to end their dinner abruptly.

With a few bites from their plates to not waste the effort that Ernest had given, they prepared their current post to the city and proceeded to the next destination as per order.

"It was a short time everyone, but I was glad to meet you all. After the war, I would like to buy everyone lunch or just let Ernest cook for us all,"

However, the promise that Cesar made might not come true because all the things he can see from these soldiers are death.

Cesar didn't want to give them false hope, but if that's the thing that needed to be done even if he wanted to lie about it, he would willingly do it with a glib tongue.
