In this bizarre age.
Ancient taboos have returned, and the Creator has come from beyond the heavens.
The indescribable Kings of the Old Days whisper and murmur.
Humanity has many choices.
Humanity has no choice at all.
For hell lies ahead, and hell lies behind.
Some meet Dagon beneath the deep sea and find the way home in the sunken city of R'lyeh.
Some are summoned by the Buddha Mother beneath the high walls of a temple, and reach the Pure Land through sensual indulgence.
Some hear the teachings of the Turing Celestial Lord across digital networks, cast off their mortal flesh, and see through the boundary between illusion and reality.
And some...
Are raised to the throne by an ancient race that has slept for ages.
They are crowned kings above the depths of space.
“Keep your heart beating, and the gods will resonate with you.” The King of the Deep Space, scion of a monarch, the indescribable one, child of calamity, prophet of the divine kingdom of Carcosa, reveler beneath distant stars... Chen Jing.
