Already at the age of 19, he published several books that entered the top 100 sales, which allowed him to gain a foothold in writing. He refused to study anything else and devoted himself entirely to creativity, working only on his books and his writing skills. His success brought him a moderate income. He wasn't very rich, but Marco had enough money for entertainment and gifts for his partners. Since adolescence, Marco has openly declared his bisexuality, which often caused conflicts with others. Sometimes his tried to beat up to “knock out“ gay ideas from him. His independence in this matter has taught him to run fast, avoiding fights. The family has always supported Marco, accepting him for who he is. His younger sister was always proud of him. Despite his closeness to his family, Marco grew up stubborn and independent. But he has always been a sociable and good person who knows how to inspire others. As he got older, Marco became less speak of his sexuality, not openly raising these topics even in his books. Marco had many partners with whom he had not met for more than a year. After reading stories about love and adventures, he wanted to meet the very person whose love would live in Marco even after decades. He carried this wonderful feeling in his books, but over the years he himself has never experienced real feelings, quickly falling in love and also quickly burning out. Once it happened and to Marco's inspiration. By the age of 25, his inspiration began to fade. The texts became empty, the ideas banal, and the very thought of writing made apathetic. He sat in front of blank pages for weeks, feeling helpless. Soon, the creative crisis spread to other areas of his life. Romantic relationships had lost their meaning for him, he no longer felt the spark that had led him forward before. Against the background of this depression, his income from books declined rapidly. Unable to find himself in a new profession, Marco got a job as a barista in a small cafeteria. The parents were concerned about Marco's condition, suggested that he contact a psychologist and tried in every possible way to help. But Marco was against such interference and often quarreled with his family. After months of apathy and insomnia, he felt like he was losing himself. The fear of remaining in this state forever made him increasingly desperate and suggestible. He was looking for any way to get his muse back, even if it went against his common sense. One day, his younger sister suggested that he try themed challenges to restore inspiration. This fascinated Marco: he began to participate in every challenge that caught his eye, but he did not feel the real effect. One day, on the Internet, he came across a group studying the mythology of Ancient Egypt. Their ideas seemed fresh and inspiring to him. Marco began attending meetings where myths were discussed and rituals aimed at unlocking inner potential were conducted. At first it seemed like a harmless hobby. He even started writing short stories. But the effect remained short-lived, and the texts did not bring the former pleasure. Everything changed when the organizer of the group told Marco about the secret sect of the “Path of Thoth", worshipping Thoth, the god of writing. The leader assured that only through full dedication and service can one return one's Muse. Desperate, Marco accepted the offer to undergo a series of "tests" proving his devotion to the ideals of the cult. After becoming a member of the sect, he felt his creative energy begin to return. At first, Marco was doubtful, but the more he saw the results, the fewer questions he asked. He convinced himself that this was just a temporary measure necessary for recovery, but gradually the line between his personality and the ideology of the cult began to blur. The leader of the sectarians skillfully found Marco's weak points, wrapped it in words about the creator's purpose, and Marco increasingly lost the ability to think critically. He began to change: he became indifferent to the opinions of others, he became more and more distant from family and friends, his thoughts were filled with ideas imposed by the cult. Now he believed that serving Thoth was the only right way. Due to stress, Marco turned out to be too mentally weak to resist the cult leader's hypnotic abilities and became more fanatical every day, ready to make any sacrifice for the sake of a "higher goal." He believed that everything that is done in the ways of Thoth is really right, even if it is a sacrifice. Family and friends tried to reason with Marco, but eventually he pushed them all away and moved out, a small apartment on the outskirts of the city. He devoted more and more time and effort to the sect, until he turned into a man blindly obeying the leader of the sect. He was completely zombified and became one of those sectarians who prepare and embalm the bodies of victims for the annual sacrifice in the name of Thoth)}]
