The Perfect Path To Insanity

Would you give up your humanity in exchange for power? To never die, a chance to be a god? Humans had lost all will to try. Their existence had been reduced to a single, self-destructive purpose: to entertain and please the cosmic gods, known as Forces, in hopes of gaining a 'favour'. After 7 years of these continuous deadly games that suddenly appeared, the Earth we know is no more. Now an apocalyptic playground for the Forces to enjoy. To survive in this ruined world, every single player is compelled to participate in these weekly deadly games. All to win prizes, be granted one of the four Paths designed for Awakeners— those who earned ‘their’ affection and favour. Until Fateless, a ‘humble’ wanted thief, stumbled upon a unique Force, one of the creators of the games. It was then he discovered the grim truth behind his name - 'Fateless' - deemed worthless and discarded at birth, exempt from all four Paths. Consumed by despair and hate, he took a risk and accepted a proposal from a shady cosmic god, granting him a fifth Path, giving him the ability to absorb human life essence to grow stronger, all for a small price. [ “I shall grant you the Fifth Path.” ] [ “The Path of Insanity.” ] [ “No mortal seeks forever without unraveling. Madness is the toll, the tariff paid at the gate.”] [ “You will no longer fear death. Nor die of age. Nor plague. Nor wounds that mortal hands deliver.” ] [ “But immortality is fed… not gifted.” ] [ “Just a tiny tithe. 10% of your humanity.” ] ‘What more is there to lose a bit of humanity, anyway? It only drags one down from their full potential. I could do just about anything without being bound to death. Anything… What a thrill it would be to spit on these cosmic slugs' faces.’

D-Animal

SYNOPSIS — D-ANIMAL: ECHOES OF THE NEXUS When the world collapsed, it wasn’t because of bombs or human wars— it was because of broken bonds. In a reality where humans coexist with D-Animals—biomechanical entities bound to the minds and blood of their masters—death is never simple. When the bond is severed, something remains. Something watches. Something returns. Elara, a teenager scarred by early loss, learns too soon that survival demands more than strength. It demands decisions that leave invisible scars. Alongside her brother Lucas—a young man who turns empathy into resistance—and Rafael, a man shaped by abuse, control, and surgeries that should never have existed, she crosses a collapsing city where corpses, deranged machines, and silent governments fight over what remains of humanity. As corrupted D-Animals—Deletio and Ferus—emerge from fractures in the human bond, a shadow organization known only as FIS operates in the dark, kidnapping, experimenting on, and shaping people into disposable weapons. Children included. Between escapes, losses, and brutal psychological confrontations, the trio discovers that the true danger isn’t only in the creatures hunting the ruins—but in the humans who learned to treat pain as a resource. The past returns. The future watches. And every choice demands its price. In D-Animal: Echoes of the Nexus, survival doesn’t mean winning— it means not becoming what the world demands you be. ____________________ Rule-Driven Dystopian Sci-Fi Clear power systems (D-Animals, COS, Nexus, Deletio) Technology as a tool of control, not salvation Gray governments and organizations, not caricatured villains ____________________ Violence with Moral Weight Intense action, never gratuitous Every death leaves scars No victory is clean ____________________ Serial Narrative & Expanded Universe Shifts between past, present, and future Secondary characters with their own potential Broken children, hidden agents, global conspiracies ____________________ Authentic Human Bonds Siblings, allies, chosen families Care without romanticization Affection shown through actions, not speeches ____________________ OVERALL TONE Mature Dark Introspective Tense Humanly cruel—and still filled with small, silent acts of resistance
