I was born cursed. Half my body is soaked in ice, while the other half burns with fire. They said it was incurable, that I wouldn't live to adulthood.
It wasn't until the paladins hunting me loosed a silver arrow and the claws of the Evernight nobility ripped open my back that I understood, amid blood and fire, that this "curse" was my only way to survive.
I am Ryan, a forbidden child born in a captive plane, a twisted creation of the bloodlines of light and darkness.
In this world, where planes are cages and all living beings are livestock, the Church of Holy Light tends souls while the Evernight Council harvests flesh. I am the "impurity" they both want erased, the "pollution" in the eyes of the old order.
But when I was forced to swallow chaos and reborn among the ruins; when I saw the truth of how my home plane was harvested and watched billions of lives "purified" like animals,
I understood. My very existence is an act of rebellion.
The path to the Godhead of Myriad Aspects unfolds beneath my feet. I no longer seek godhood, but to smash the ladder of these man-eating planes.
Holy Light? I will extinguish the stakes and cast angels down to earth.
Evernight? I will crush the nobles' castles and make vampires disintegrate beneath the sun.
Chaos? I will keep my mind in madness and define existence in the void.
This time, the captives will break their chains.
This time, the livestock will bare their fangs at the shepherds.
When the Godhead of Myriad Aspects finally takes its place,
I will become the embodiment of a new order, the vengeful spirit of countless oppressed planes, and the first godslayer born amid blood and fire.
