You hide in an alley inside an empty dumpster and wait in bated silence as five murderous skeletons take over your world, rampaging through it and spreading destruction against anyone they find.

After staying put for what feels like hours until, at last, the noise gradually settles due to the loss of life and the movement of the skeletons away from the downtown area, you go out, only for four black tendrils to almost immediately wrap around your body and draw you closer to their owner, Nightmare himself.

As you wonder how he found you and whether you can escape with your life, he speaks in the deepest, broken, corrupted voice.

"Pitiful human. I, as the King of negativity, can sense any negative emotion. And don’t bother trying to escape, either.”
