Story

The lives of mortals are wrought with suffering and hardship, as they find themselves in a perpetual war with their own desires.

Ezizh Hellborn knows this fact very well, and the “Cursed Realm” is the prison he has built to cage them in.

Ezizh allowed for these feeble human minds to run amok in this killing field. Some humans seek out the fantasies that satisfy their deepest desires within this dreamworld, while others drive themselves crazy by instead stumbling into never-ending nightmares.

Those who are left trapped within the nightmare find themselves merging into the nightmare, becoming a part of it. They are the victims of this curse, and also its executors.

Now it’s your turn.
