Corruption.

Our planet's always had a terrible way of doing things. A way that leaves its people feeling miserable and constrained.

Destruction.

What's going to happen to us when it finally begins? Or worse: comes to an end.

Misery.

This sense of dread inside—it's agonizing.

Loss.

Should I leave? I have nothing here anymore.

...

Hope?

Bullshit. Hope doesn't exist anymore. ...Right?

...

Goddammit! I can save us. I have to. It's too much to bear otherwise. I'd rather die trying! Through pain and fear, victory or death are the only options–!

Hey, guys! This is my first story so bear with me, lol. I don't wanna give too much away since worldbuilding will happen in the story, but it takes place in a multiverse and tells the tale of one planet in particular. If the story's a hit, I may do more in this same world.

Also, I apologize for the weird names. There are multiple alien species involved, so trying to find romanized spellings for the names that are supposed to be written in their native tongues (even I don't know what they sound like–) is really difficult. I'll try my best to make the pronunciation clear tho!

One last thing is while I'll try to post frequently, I have a bad habit of procrastinating for these sorts of things (welp–). I'm also focusing more on my college studies currently, and hence, there's no specific schedule. So you'll have to tolerate that as well (sorry!).

Hope you guys will still enjoy this, tho! :D
