RE: Project ZEUS

_Tyranny_
Umbrella Corporation has created many horrors. But one virus was never meant to exist. Dr. Alex Mercer, a brilliant yet disillusioned Umbrella scientist, spent years researching an anomaly unlike anything the corporation had ever discovered—an unknown pathogen he labeled The Blacklight Virus. Unlike the T-Virus or G-Virus, Blacklight does not simply infect… it consumes, adapts, and evolves. It does not create monsters. It becomes them. Realizing the catastrophic implications of his research, Mercer secretly destroys every record of the virus—digital files, lab samples, and all documentation tied to Project Blacklight. With the only remaining vial in his possession, he attempts to escape Umbrella before they realize what he has done. But Umbrella always cleans up loose ends. Cornered in a dark subway station beneath Raccoon City, surrounded by armed operatives, Mercer makes a final decision. He refuses to let Umbrella reclaim the virus… or his body. With no escape left, he injects the Blacklight Virus into his own veins. Moments later, he throws himself in front of an oncoming train. Umbrella believes the problem is solved. They are wrong. Because Blacklight doesn't die.

Gods of Pangaeos

In the mist before GENESIS, Fate and Chance and Others cast tolls upon their names, while the chalice did burn and churn whose crown should be. And he that won strode through the mist unto YOD-VAV-HEH and cried: “Lo, wake upon the mist and create the heavens and the earth and make gods for me, for I have won over the crown and thy mist is mine to rule.” And so as the cry was heard Fate and Chance and Others bowed, But whether it was Fate or Chance or Another that won the cast of the tolls before GENESIS—none-knoweth. .............................................................. Welcome to Gods of Pangaeos. ​This work is a reimagining of the creation myth, written as a stylistic marriage between the liturgical structure of Genesis and the high-fantasy, rhythmic prose of Lord Dunsany’s The Gods of Pegāna. ​In this world, the Creator is a sleeper, and the world we know is merely a "Game" played by smaller, whimsical deities during His slumber. You will find echoes of our own earth’s deep past—Pangaea, Panthalassa, and Gondwana—woven into a tapestry of myth and "The Word." ​A Note on Style: The text uses archaic phrasing and repetitive structures to mimic ancient holy books. If the gods seem cruel or indifferent, remember: to them, we are but the pieces on a board. ​I hope you enjoy the "Game." ​Art Disclaimer ​Cover Illustration: "MANA-YOOD-SUSHAI" by Sidney Sime (1906). ​ ​Note on the Artwork: The illustration used for this cover is a masterpiece by Sidney Sime, originally created for Lord Dunsany’s The Gods of Pegāna. As this artwork was published over 100 years ago, it resides in the Public Domain. ​While the image originally depicted the deity Mana-Yood-Sushai, it has been chosen for this work to represent the Great Stillness of YOD-VAV-HEH. I use this art as a tribute to the golden age of mythic illustration that inspired the tone of Gods of Pangaeos.
