The mentioned of Zatan Nataz...gave me goosebumps! I love stories with that element of continuity.

[@alextaylor9978]

Thanks! I love hearing that! My goal is to create a universe that is sprawling, unique, and sinister enough that the names of the gods are enough to send chills down people's spines!

[@richardleeskinneriii9640]

An interesting story for sure. The protagonist is incredibly bright, able to catch on to things quickly and improvise his way out. ..... just to proceed to find his way back in. Would be a great introduction to a longer story about his adventures, learning about these supernatural beings and finding ways to usurp them. A new calling. That would in a way, redeem his apparent foolishness at the end of this story.

Or he could cheat death again and again untill he becomes one of the Gods.

​@Star Gazer or he starts hunting these "aspects" after finding a way to kill one

[@hvip4]

I don't know man... Are we supposed to sympathize with him just because he's an artsy type? He wasn't just foolish, he was incredibly stupid not to see all the signs that he was way over his head. Then he's making a bid anyway just for keks and giggles? He's like the kid who's kicking strangers on the bus until one of the strangers picks him up and throws him on the floor... Instant regret doesn't save you from the bruises. He should have stayed down and paid for his mistake. Wanting to sacrifice your parents isn't a short lived lapse of judgement, even if they disowned him for wanting to throw his life away. Not only they are his parents but also why would you sacrifice the people to whom you want to rub your success in the face?

[@whooll]

Absolutely incredible my guy. I swear I didn't even realize you did both narration voice for Tim and the voice of Tesscot for a while there. Combination of both the immediacy of being completely immersed in the story and your voice acting ability. My God, bravo sir. So so so fantastic from start to end.

[@doge5061]

Been a fan for a while (a year and a half or so). I just realized what separates you from other narrators. You actually make the story feel alive. The words no longer are stuck in ink, you really know how to make the experience real. Every story I hear makes me feel genuinely horrified. I've read creepypasta by myself but never felt the terror. But man, I've never felt more scared of a story in my life. First video I watched was "Ted the Caver" and man that was my gateway to addiction. I really do appreciate your narrations and I wish you good health.
