Discovery

It was the year of 2008, a year of prosperity and discovery, a year when the American government secretly unearthed an ancient tome: the Necronomicon.

Research

Heavy research was conducted on the strange book, ancient texts that were never seen before were mysteriously engraved on the metal cover. The pages within it were written in with dried blood, who knows what secrets these pages reveal? Soon, several other books similar to the Necronomicon were found but were not as decorative and looked flimsy and poorly made, promptly classified as Grimoires. Both the Grimoires and the Necronomicon were transported to the NecroTech laboratories where they can be further examined and kept secret.

Annihilation

The Necronomicon suddenly gave off an eerie faint white glow, and the Grimoires called hostile monsters into our world, destroying the laboratories and killing anyone near them. Few survived and it is presumed that all Grimoires have escaped. The Necronomicon is nowhere to be found in the wreckage.

The Grimoires have disappeared entirely, not even a trace was found. The American government have secretly created the Order, a specialized organization run by those trained to destroy the Grimoires and recover the Necronomicon. With the Order, the people know nothing, hear nothing, and see nothing.


It is now the year of 2016. A year of Propaganda, a year of Secrecy.​

A year of Death and Destruction.

----------\\ News //----------

I'm back!!! :D Updated with Vika's picture and Chapter 3! Ty for those who have read so far!

----------\\ Glossory //----------

Darkling: A mechanical creature that uses a Grimoire as a catalyst to materialize on the Earth. They have low intelligence, but their lethality makes up for it. Darklings come in different shapes and sizes, but all of them have strange built-in weapons such as guns and blades that will be used recklessly against any humans. Darklings can create more Darklings by killing a Human, making a Darkling highly dangerous as a single Darkling can wipe out an entire city. Darklings can attain the form of a human to conceal their identities, making them an even higher threat against Humanity.

Grimoire: Strange, tattered books that were uncovered along with the Necronomicon. They seemed to have been activated when the NecroTech laboratories examined the Neconomicon. Not much is known about these mysterious books at this moment.

Necronomicon: A very ancient tome with eccentric characters written in dried blood within it. Any information about the Necronomicon is classified Top-Secret by the government and no information was ever revealed about the Grimoires or the Necronomicon. Reasons why this ancient book was kept secret from the world is not yet known.

The idea of books magically turning into monsters kind of sounds corny to me.

The idea of books magically turning into monsters kind of sounds corny to me.

tch. meh, my imagination is very VERY random. i get ideas randomly, some influenced by something i've read or heard of, some just completely out of thin air.

im sticking with the books cause... i dunno? :p
well, since i have heard of NOTHING, nothing at all that uses books as monsters, i will claim that idea as 100% my own :p

The idea itself seems... Ridiculous. It's one thing if the books are... Summoning tools? When activated by the Necro-book, via something the researchers did, they activate the books, which summon the creatures and destroy the books?

That's believeable to me. Books turning into monsters? No.

the Grimoires [the books that turned into monsters] were actually in fact activated by the necronomicon.
the reason the book stays however, is that the Darklings need a catalyst, something to channel through, to stay in this world. that catalyst is the Grimoires. Destroy the Grimoires and the monsters disappear from the face of the world.

You said the books turned into monsters. Obviously, from that post, that is not really the case. You need to be more clear with what you say o_O

...
i did... didn't i? :p

gah. your right, but i needed to keep the intro short because there was this other story thign im using and that barely fitted it. i don't want to elongate the intro by saying HOW the darklings exist in the world...

I guess i can change it here though :D! thanks Seth!

Instead of "turned into the monsters" "called monsters into our world".

I'll rate this thread [aka, the story, I guess] a 4/5 for good design and presentation, along with a decent storyline. I'd have to read it in detail [as in, read the whole thing] before I decided it was better than good.

Good job.

lol, you read and rated the thread? :D

The thread and pictures sure do look nice... :) Well, monsters relating to books (either being spawned by them or are them) is not that strange. A lot of stories/shows/etc. have those things. Like in Inuyasha I saw once... and stuff.

Anyway, waiting for the story! :thup:

"Like in Inuyasha I saw once... and stuff" -thewrongvine

lol

anywys, im back and im in montreal, so i can still write but at a reduced rate.
ive got a picture of Vika drawn but i have no scanner lol >_<||

3rd chapter coming soon, this one is a bit longer and a bit harder to write cause i wanted this to be... 'different' then the anime im influenced by.
meaning, i don't want to do:

oh noz, we're about to die, someone save us!
-some guy with cool powers comes in to save them-
thank you very much mr.stranger!

or something like that lol.

Huh? What am I joking about? WHY SO SERIOUS!?

Ehem, sorry, had to do that. :D But what I mean is that your idea is pretty... not common, but not that strange from many of the hundreds of thousands of millions of horror stories. There's different angles taken with it, but it's basically monsters from...

ok, nevermind me. Good luck! Have fun at your camp! :D

That Darkling Description. They could basically infiltrate a place disguised as a human, kill a human, make it a darkling, it become disguised as a human, and so on. So they would basically be unstoppable. If there's something else you haven't mentioned, tell me, but otherwise you might want to consider changing that.

@t3hwr0ngv1n3: ROFL I am not at camp, instead I hit a road-block in my story >_>'', I actually want some help on this one lol ^ ^;;

@Halahan: Yes, that's true and that's why the secret organization wants to eradicate them. However, the Darklings are actually stupid machines [at the moment :eek:] so they attack on site. To top it off, Akira has the power to see the Grimoires within the Darklings, making him invalueable.

A few chapters later, a strange individual starts commanding Darklings and they attack the base, but I can't stream that along with other ideas from my currrent position... Some help plz? :p

EDIT: OMG! I finally got Custom Title! w00t!

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
