"Well, what do we have here..." Xerxes mumbles before smirking and slowly walking towards the entrance to the house. He knew well enough what he was getting into, but to him, it didn't matter anymore. After all, every life needs a dash of pepper, right? Xerxes chuckled to himself, before peering inside unconsciously. However, what he didn't notice was that he was slightly red from the flow of darkness he had felt.

He feels a rush of darkness, blackness covering him. It permeats his very form, filling him. For a moment, he himself is a God, surrounded by unimaginable power, flowing through him. His very flesh seems inconsequential, and you're half-tempted to simply leave your body and construct a new one. However, before such thoughts can be put to the test, he is stranded, leaving the energy stream. He finds himself in a massive arching hall, reaching up beyond sight. Covering the walls are corpses, hanging from an array of spikes, arranged like some sort of art, still faintly moving despite their fatal wounds. There's a single door, completely black, from behind which you can sense the power of the God. By the door stands a man with an Oni mask, smiling, blood running down his porcelain cheeks.
