(After a long wait, finally, it's back. The Endless Black, and your long missed Crimson-Eyed Observer. They are here again in a new rewrite, and a new world. This is a dark fantasy story, with a touch of both sci-fi and game elements in a distorted infinite world. So... "Have fun.")
---------
A Bet for Eternity? A Gamble for Divinity? No, this is a Game. A thrilling and twisted Game, with a broken nameless world whole as the Board, a thousand Faceless Lords as The Players, and Eternity itself as the prize, so... Who wins? Who lives? And who escapes the Oblivion’s Black?... more>>

The answer? I don’t know, nor do I have time to think of it. So, hmm? What am I trying to say here?

Well, nothing much, just that my name is Zeroth... Anon Zeroth. And that somehow, it seems I am swept into a new apocalypse of a game... AGAIN!!?

Alexis Verius, the scammer who sells life, and the northern knight order’s so-called ‘healer’... Who and what is she? A remnant of a bygone era? Or the precursor of a resurrecting calamity?

- No harems. Ever. I'm mentioning Romance just case, as I won't run away from it, but I also won't just do it for the sake of having it. <<less

Aiden finally gave in to the messages barraging his phone after letting out a grunt of annoyance. With a dazed look, he let his hand fumble around the nightstand, eventually holding his phone after a few tries and opened it to numerous messages on the group from his friends.... more>>

Eyes still half closed, he went through the messages, “Look at the night, the moon looks so red!” “The moon is beautiful today!” “The night sky is breathtaking, look outside your window!” “There’s no way you want to miss the moon today!” Due to his habit of sleeping in complete darkness, with curtains closed, he didn’t, on instinct, immediately turn around to look outside the window near his bed, which caused his gaze to linger around longer to find a letter on the nightstand.

Huh? I don’t remember placing anything else here?

When he held the letter though, a symbol embossed on it immediately caught his attention. It was of a secret society he made along with his friends when they were kids. Friends who had one by one disappeared from his life. He opened it to find only a single piece of paper, and some liquid dripping on his palm.

Quickly transitioning to a sitting posture while he grasped the paper in one hand, he turned on the lamp with the other. His eyes widened, pupils dilating, as he looked at the hand holding the paper, which soon began shaking as dark red liquid kept sliding off the paper to stain his hand.

Is it blood?

Containing his fear, he concentrated his gaze onto the paper which had some messy words written over it with the same liquid.

“Don’t look at the moon!”

The government relocated people from cities to towns across the lands, thinning out the population. It worked, the number of disasters witnessed a drastic decline, making it manageable for the government to deal with.

Years after The Great Smog, Aiden Spencer has come across such incomprehensible disasters, one even in his home.
