All of History

[Historical] [Alternate History] [Nuo Opera] [Cthulhu]

People leaf through history books and think they are seeing the rise and fall of dynasties, the turning of the human wheel.

But the truth is often scattered throughout official histories and unofficial records alike.

If you are willing to look, you will find no shortage of bizarre accounts: stone men speaking, strange mists rising from the earth, talismans passed through the streets, all things making uncanny sounds, and an entire population driven mad...

Of course, none of this happened because of ghosts or gods, or because of karma.

But perhaps, in some time and place, these things were signs that the underlying laws of the world had broken down?

When the grievances of humankind grow too great, the order of heaven and earth begins to loosen, and indescribable voids start seeping into the world of the living.

This book collects distorted events hastily recorded by court historians and quickly buried by the ages, along with the sacrifices, struggles, and survival of countless dynasties.

History has never been humanity's epic. It is a record of this mortal world repeatedly sinking into ruin in an age of confusion.

To borrow a passage from All the Tomorrows: Tomorrow is not a single, better future, the bright one of our fantasies. It is the sum of all possibilities for humanity, encompassing prosperity, enslavement, mutation, regression, extinction, and rebirth, every possibility.
