* CosmicHorrorStory: Once, there was an all-powerful entity who existed alone in the endless nothing. Possessing the power to turns its thoughts into reality, it could not control this power, creating offspring with minds of their own. Its oldest child tore open the primordial god, as its blood created the universe, the stars, and life itself. Despite making a deal with its offspring not to destroy this new life in exchange for being allowed to heal its wound, the god created another child, Ghatanothoa, whose sole purpose was to wipe out all creation when he reaches physical form, before his siblings sealed him away in the aether. The elder god is still searching for this child, who has since [[AntiAntiChrist rejected his calling]] and now wants to preserve this beautiful world.
