Leviathan of the Black Tide
By @john1208
I never thought my deathbed would be the place I’d finally understand the apocalypse. As my lungs filled with the alien bio-spores that had devastated our world, my trusted mentor, Overseer Gavric, leaned in and smiled. He hadn't come to comfort me; he came to gloat that he was the one who sold humanity to the Velkiri invaders. I died a bleeding-heart fool who cared too much. But the alien toxins didn’t end me - they mutated my resonance, allowing me to rip the shadows from the dead. I started with the flooded tomb of Sentinel Krynos, our fallen champion, extracting his towering silhouette to serve as my first loyal soldier. Now, I have a cold, flawless plan to dismantle Gavric’s traitorous empire piece by piece. There’s just one problem: my ridiculous compulsion to save everyone keeps getting in the way. It’s also what keeps throwing me into the path of Nimari, a ruthless scavenger rival who used to despise my kindness but now fights fiercely by my side. I've just slaughtered a massive alien sea-leviathan and resurrected its shadow to carry my undead army across the toxic oceans. Gavric won't know what hit him - but can my compassionate heart survive a war of absolute extermination?
