Ballad of the First Arachne

In a world where the gods are dead and twisted creatures have taken their place, humanity is held together by the illusion of control. We build walls, write laws, and invent weapons. But the walls crumble, the laws corrupt, and the weapons turn against us.

Nate is one of those who see the truth. He has been cursed with the ability to hear the thoughts of the Horrors and the humans. And he realizes that the difference between them is more subtle than it seems. The Horrors are not enemies. They are a reflection of human fears, desires, and sins made flesh.

The catastrophe that occurred many years ago was not the end. It was the beginning. The beginning of a slow transformation of the world into a single cocoon, where all living beings merge into a single, formless, sentient being. And it is up to Nate, who stands on the brink between humanity and the Horrors, to determine what this new form will be.

But to do that, he'll have to sacrifice everything that makes him human.
