Meeting Janus
They told us Project AETHER was science. Just equations, machines, and cold ambition. But when the first portal opened… something looked back. There was something else on the other side. Something that got through. It didn’t come as an army— it came as a presence. A whisper in the mind. A shadow in the soul. It infected mankind like rot in a tree. And slowly, the world turned inside out. Strength became weakness. Patience turned to rage. Love twisted into hate. Faith collapsed into peril. Angels… became demons. And in time, no one remembered it any other way. As if the world had always been broken. Then came the fires. City after city—erased in blinding light. A desperate purge. A final silence. They called it the Great Nuclear Purge. The world lies shattered. Ash drapes the earth like mourning cloth. Civilization has crumbled into ruins. From those ruins rose warlords and barbarians— tyrants who carve empires from broken nations, who enslave the weak and destroy the old ways of peace. But in the void that followed, something remained. He called himself Janus. Not a machine. Not a man. A presence—timeless, watching, waiting. He offered no comfort. No salvation. Only a choice. He said: I am the gatekeeper. The god of beginnings… and endings. I offer you my power. To defy space. To tear through time. To begin the end of darkness free rein within the void. I have chosen you!
