Story
It was the time of the ancient egyptians when unnoticed a dark force oozed out of the ground. It was just called The pure Evil...
Eventually revived, it oppressed all human beings and launched a new age of terror. Time of darkness and cruelty spread over the earth.
Some religious people saw the future of brightness fade away and appealed to the gods for help. Finally the unexpected happened: Supported by an extraterrestral force the pure evil was brought to a burial chamber that was sealed afterwards with five seals. The age of oppression came to an end.
Years went by until two of those seals were taken away by gravehunters who vanished in no time after the theft. In 1853, a scientist rediscovered the burial chamber and again removed one seal. He also disappeared before he could inform someone about his discovery. Again the burial chamber fell into oblivion.
Three weeks ago a team of scientists exposed the burial chamber and took away another seal. Now one last seal remains to dam up the evil force. Unfortunately it is not sufficant to restrain the pure evil of getting out. Dark shadows are already crossing the lands and it is just a matter of time until the complete force in all its mightyness can escape from the chamber and commence a new crusade of retaliation against mankind.
But this time there will be no divine defense obtainable...
