Abyss Descension: I Perform Rituals to Evolve In The Apocalyps Novel

Civilization has crumbled into the Abyss—a bottomless void where survival demands adherence to harsh laws. Three rules govern all: The deceased show no mercy; vigilance is paramount; and strange whispers demand avoidance, not curiosity. Break them, and death is certain.

Desperate to endure, he discovered an ancient ritual hidden within cryptic circumstances. The power it offered proved irresistible.
