Vile Prologue

Alice in Wonderland meets first person shooter, if played by Lovecraft. They dug too deep. Ancient ruins discovered in one of the deepest mines on the planet. A cyclopean city hiding a far older secret: An evil beyond time and space. A thing from beyond the stars. A slumbering god: Nemik, the Vile One. He of a Thousand Spikes. Destroyer, eater, corrupter of worlds. Imprisoned in his own hideous, undying form. Secured by ancient magic, traps, and a massive door with a grisly locking mechanism. Beneath a pit capped by the largest carved stone ever discovered. A capstone atop which sits the giant stature of a kidnapped angel. A memorial to a winged queen dragged to her doom below. All precautions against fools who would wish to awaken a god. Enter modern man, with his knowledge, technology, firepower, and hubris. Plagued by nightmares after breaching the enormous capstone, various intellectuals are brought in to discover the cause, along with a badass marine to deal with it when they find it. But how does one kill a god? Join Corporal Jerome Bigsby, aka Bigs; scholar Gregory Welsh, aka Welshy; and Colonel Vergil Kane, head of the militarized mining operation, as they give it a go in this fantasy fueled story full of action, horror, and fun. A tale that will take you to the vilest place imaginable: the sleeping mind of Nemik himself. Enter the nightmare.
