Chapter 1 - PROLOGUE

Long ago, before any civilization was built, before mortals even learned to make clothes and hunt, two beings existed. One was a being of pure light whose brilliance outshone a thousand suns combined, while the other was a being of utter chaos and destruction. These two beings of immense power were hailed as gods and balanced each other perfectly. The first being ruled by day and the later ruled by night. However, the mortals grew to hate the being of darkness for he was like a mirror of the evil and wickedness hidden deep within their hearts while they adored the being of light for he shone on them, brightening their world and giving them bliss.

Over time, as the hatred and fear for the being of darkness grew, so did the number of his follower dwindle. As mortals gradually stopped worshipping him, he began to weaken while the being of light grew even more powerful. Alas, in the name of so called righteous and cleansing evil, the being of light fought the being of Darkness, eventually defeating the latter and sealed him in the void. After all , light can't exist without darkness. The mortals praised and worshipped the being of light for his courage, resilience and purity even more. They worshiped him even greater that before.

However, cast aside like a ragdoll in humiliation and disgrace, trapped like a prison and hated, the being of Darkness began to plan. For eons he waited patiently, like a predator lurking in the darkness waiting for the right chance to pounce. Then, when nobody expected it he broke free and stepped into the realm that despised him once more to reclaim his lost power and for all to feel his glory.

Elsewhere, in a place where the concept of existing was impossible, a being sat on a throne. He tilted his head with a smile.

"So it begins..."

His eyes, which were like gazing into the cosmos, reflected the image of a young man who lay in a pool of blood amidst the wreckage of a serious car accident. He hummed then snapped his fingers. Suddenly, the young man's body emitted a giant black light then dimmed to normal. The being blinked then stretched as the images of several others flashed in his eyes. He smiled even more.

"This should be interesting indeed... I look forward to your performance, Ben HaChoshech..."
