Chapter 0:

Prologue: Jason

Hastur's Reign


My job as an office worker is extremely tiring. I mostly stay my days working 10 hours with two really short 30 minute breaks. Only reason I stay working at the company is because of the payment. My coworkers aren't bad either. For being the youngest at the company, I am always set on very high regard by my peers, mostly because I work as hard and help out whenever I can. Hell even my boss thinks I need a promotion because of my dedication.

Even with all the positive stuff, I can't help but want to get home with my wife...Rachel is my everything. We've known each other since we were 14 back in highschool, met her at gym class. After that it was your typical romcom anime story, with some drama and missunderstandings...but we grew, our love for each other did to. We married around a year ago, and ever since then, everytime I get off work I just love to get back home and tell her about my day, and listen to her talk about her novels as well...it's so peaceful to just listen to her. I would never trade my life for anything in the world, never. I have a job, a loving wife, a really good looking house...I couldn't ask for more.

At least...that's how I hoped it would stay...
One night, while I was getting out of work, the road I mostly used to get to my house was blocked by some sort of debris. Policemen were just telling people to go back or choose another route. Some people were looking concerned since this was the second time during the month were there has been such a disaster. 

I took a different route, one I rarely use mostly because of how it creeps the hell out of me. It's a route where almost no one goes due to curves and lack of people, plus there is a legend saying that there is some sort of ghost living in that road. I am extremely supersticious when it comes to ghosts. Makes my skin crawl whenever I take this road back home, but what other option did I have. I had to.

The road was dark, there were no headlights, almost no cars either...I would try to keep my mind off the scariness with some music, that is until I noticed something weird. A door...in the middle of the road.

"That's strange" I said to myself as I parked my car on a safe place. Honestly, I was feeling scared. I mean, what is a door doing in the middle of the road. How is it even standing there, it isn't even being held by a wall or something. It was way too scary to think about...but my curiosity was also kicking in. 

"Is this related to that ghost" I said as I aproached slowly. "I really hope it isn't because of some...ghost heh...ugh, what am I even doing, I should be going back home...but..."
As I put my hand on the door's handle I feel as if something, or someone was breathing down my neck, telling me..."open the gate...chosen warrior of light".
