The year is 2550. The world as the human race once knew it; had
changed two-hundred years previous. Gone were the cities that
featured regularly on the daytime and evening news bulletins and
used as backdrops for Hollywood Movies. The nations of the world
had been displaced and that was due to the resurgence of mankind's
age-old adversary, the VAMPIRE!

DESTROYER OF WORLDS Man's reign is through. Universal laws are
breaking in the cosmos with the coming of the dark lords to the
world of man. It is they who intend to complete GOD'S CHAIN and
become a God of gods, destroyer of worlds. Professor Mancini
expedition leader is top of his game, he has discovered the
legendary Vale of MalisIblis where a lost temple exists and already
entered the temple after a horrific human sacrifice. He believes it
holds a mythical and priceless artifact called "The Key of the Gods
of Seven Rays". This is a large golden disk, a legend believed by
ancient tribes in South America that will open a portal to the
Gods. Harjit Singh is a medical student and is promoted by the
professor to lead her team through the upper temple while he
explores the lower levels. She soon becomes lost and in critical
danger, chased by a hideous monster. This is the time of the
prophecy, perfect for the arrival of Lord Smite, the first of the
dark Lords. Smite with a brutal army from another world has come to
take the link of power, conquer, and then consume all life on
Earth. His forces immediately put a siege on the defending temple
garrison. The defenders are shocked at fighting the impossible,
then stunned even more at seeing a new super-being as mighty as
Smite! GOD'S CHAIN holds the power to all existence. Excerpt: "Help
us!" Harjit pleaded loudly. "This is the home of Shiva the
Destroyer, an awful and evil place." Harjit's crazy vision turned
any doubt of getting away unscathed into grim reality. "He is
alive!" Then she gasped in horror. "Chris, look! That's not him,
there's something lying ON HIM!" Harjit froze. Instinctively she
did not want to get any closer to him. "It must be that thing I
saw!" "What is it?" Christopher begged, bleary-eyed and not
realising their danger. "Look on top of Cesare! Shiva! Some giant
insect is on his back Christopher!" Christopher stared wildly at
the sickly-looking creature on top of him. "In the name of God,"
Christopher stated and uncertain of what he was looking at,
blinking hard to clear his eyes from dust. Something silvery-white
was on him, providing an excellent camouflage for the creature.
They could see its six short scaly legs, each making a clicking
noise. Everyone felt sick while gasping in the dust. The thing
began slowly crawling over Cesare, fixing itself on top of him. The
creature had numerous tiny white albino eyes positioned all over
its oval casing. Its hard exoskeleton showed a multitude of small
sharp jaggy peaks used for protection. It seemed to be calculating
their threat, studying them in fine detail. Moving a little on the
man, it stopped. Then its surface began changing colour from white
into bright pink. It had stuck itself solidly onto the man's back.
Cesare shivered a little, moaning involuntarily and said nothing.
Everyone looked desperately at each other then the man lay quiet
and very still. All in a state of shock, watching as his body
gradually became fossilised.
Weser is a government employee at the Vital Statistics building
when the Dreamers invade America. Pandemic happens, and society
reverts to Chaos. Wester, who is barely making it, has to become
better than he once was.
