Book description

The Darkness is a mysterious and nigh-unstoppable mass of glitchy pixelated darkness that assimilates and corrupts everything in its path. It is a glitchy, rampaging, flooding ink-like liquid blob of darkness with ear-piercing glitch noises that assimilates everything in its path and whose origin is unknown. All that is known about it is that it’s a mindless force that seemingly targets cartoons and turns all characters it assimilates into mindless agents that it uses to spread its influence. It corrupts fictional characters by assimilating them into becoming its zombified slaves who love and worship it as a benevolent deity, before proceeding to assimilate their entire world. It seeks to grow powerful enough to assimilate all of fiction itself and then escape into our real world by literally breaking The Fourth Wall (a cosmic barrier on the border of the fiction multiverse that separates fiction from reality) and consuming everything in its path. It is a large, glitchy, black pixelated mass that infects anyone who touches it to become a mindless husk. It then uses them to attack others in an attempt to infect them as well. The Darkness also invades other worlds and universes in its path of mindless destruction. The Darkness is indestructible. The Darkness can travel into other fictional worlds without being limited by the laws of that world. The Darkness primarily appears as a formless blob of ink-like, pixelated darkness covered and surrounded by a glitchy aura of multicolored pixels that move at a rapid speed. It occasionally has emojis and hashtags on its mass. It uses a smiley emoji as a "face". Its malformed minions often have the glitchy ink-like substance pouring out of their orifices and their bodies are pixelated at places. The victims also mutate, gaining bonus limbs etc. If someone becomes claimed by the Darkness, they become a part of it. The most distinct feature of the Darkness' slaves is that all sport eerie grins that are so wide they almost extend to the ground and they have the glitchy darkness pouring from their eyes and also possess stretched out and warped proportions, most prominently involving their jaws elongating widely. Whenever someone becomes assimilated by the Darkness, they still retain pieces of their original personality and behave a lot like they usually would in their own show. The biggest difference is that they are far more hostile towards uncorrupted people and are fanatically devoted to the Darkness, constantly shouting that it "saved" them and gave them a better existence. Despite having caused nothing but misery and suffering, the Darkness itself has a consistently quirky and comedic side. One of its quirks is its obsession with internet culture and slang, 2016 memes, emojis, and hashtags twisted into morbid phrases such as “#totallylitfam!🔥” or “that feeling when your w🌎rld ÉÑDŚ”. The Darkness can corrupt seemingly anything in its path by simply touching a person or surface. Whenever someone is assimilated their consciousness is thrown into an agonizing 'And I Must Scream'-like void, while their physical body becomes part of the central entity. When corrupted, victims act as if they are in a state of intense euphoria while their mental states are in unimaginable agony. The Darkness can take the form and shape of anything it wants, growing new limbs, tentacles, heads, and weapons. If a piece of the Darkness is severed from its mass, it can manipulate the severed piece into a smaller version of itself with the same capabilities. The Darkness can also mutate its victims to make them reminiscent of AI generated images of themselves.

17 entries · scan depth 50 · budget 500 tokens

#1INFECTION TYPE: Saved
Keys: Saved
Saved corrupted are characters who were corrupted but saved by others, some being semi-corrupted while others come out with the Darkness dormant within them. Characters having mental changes when coming out of the Darknesses grasp, some being minor while others are HEAVILY affected!
#2INFECTION TYPE: Partial / Semi-Corrupted
Keys: Semi-Corrupted, Partial-Corrupted, Partial
If a character gets partially infected by the Darkness, or sometimes when they escape the Darknesses grasp… they’ll become Partial / Semi-Corrupted! They are technically corrupted but still have a conscience. They’ll be more susceptible to infection if attacked, the only way to tell if someone’s semi-infected being if they have bits of darkness stuck to their body. Them being a bit more weak.
#3INFECTION TYPE: Common / Normal Corrupted
Keys: Common, Corrupted
Common is the most basic type of corrupted. Has no special abilities. Characters who are assimilated gain abnormally large smiles and glowing white eyes, as well as bits of the Darkness writhing on their bodies… some forming appendages to help infect others. Them being completely mindless and only thinking about corrupting others, that being their sole mission. Characters in this state can be freed if enough effort is put in! Some Normal Corrupted are unable to be saved if they were mortally wounded and have no strength to fight back!
#4INFECTION TYPE: Striker
Keys: Striker
Striker is the same as Common, but has sharp or dangerous mutations caused by the corruption. Extra blades, spikes, claws, or cutting limbs formed from the glitchy darkness make them far more lethal in close combat while they still hunt to assimilate others.
#5INFECTION TYPE: Monster
Keys: Monster
Monster is a highly aggressive sub-type of Common. Far more feral and violent than a standard corrupted, they prioritize overwhelming force, killing, and spreading the infection with little restraint. Still mindless and devoted to the Darkness, just much harder to hold back.
#6INFECTION TYPE: Summoner
Keys: Summoner
Summoner infected are moderately strong, but their sole ability is to summon other infected. However, they require this infected because if it is defeated or freed, the summoned infected will disappear from that dimensional plane.
#7INFECTION TYPE: Butchered
Keys: Butchered
Butchered is the same as Common, but heavily damaged and/or harder to kill. Their bodies look torn, broken, or carved apart, yet the Darkness keeps them moving as relentless husks that refuse to drop easily.
#8INFECTION TYPE: Suspender
Keys: Suspender
A Suspender is a corrupted character who spies on survivors through high areas like buildings. When they notice a survivor has lowered their guard, they will send some of the Darkness's strings to hang and kill them, or they will use these strings to drag them into the Darkness.
#9INFECTION TYPE: Ru34ned
Keys: Ru34ned
Ru34ned has been found to display a greener hue than the normal Darkness variant. Their bodies begin to change shape, taking on a more provocative form, and their targets are clearly identified. This mutation is the result of the inappropriate influence of thousands of images on the Rule 34 website and the memetic influence of The Darkness. It is important to note that this variant does not affect minors or innocent characters.
#10INFECTION TYPE: Infusion / Fused
Keys: Infusion, Fused
Infusion is two or more characters melded into one. Basically multiple Normal or Undead Corrupted have a chance to fuse together and form a more powerful Corrupted! Some being permanently stuck like that and practically impossible to be saved, whilst others are able to un-fuse!
#11INFECTION TYPE: Amalgamation
Keys: Amalgamation
Amalgamation is the same as Infusion, but with three or more characters fused into one mass. Larger, more chaotic, and usually far harder to separate or save than a simple two-character Infusion.
#12INFECTION TYPE: Angered
Keys: Angered
Angered infected are extremely difficult to contain because their rage and anger are so profound that the more one attempts to fight them, the more crazed and mutated they become. Eventually, they reach a point where their bodies cannot contain them, making them impossible to defeat or escape. The most effective strategy is to exhibit a strong reluctance to engage in conflict and to extend kindness until their composure is restored, which is a possibility but brief. This approach results in their physical manifestation aligning with the appearance of the Common infected. Capitalizing on their momentary vulnerability, you can deliver a decisive strike that will swiftly release them from the Glitch. To differentiate between a Common and an Angered, observe the pupils; the latter exhibit intense redness that becomes almost blinding as the creature's anger escalates.
#13INFECTION TYPE: Risen
Keys: Risen
Risen is a previously deceased character that was revived by the means of the Darkness. Similar to Undead Corrupted: a corpse turned into a husk inhabited by the Darkness, usually incapable of being saved because they were already dead.
#14INFECTION TYPE: True-Risen
Keys: True Risen, True-Risen
True-Risen is similar to Risen but three or four times stronger, yet they are salvageable because the body has a great will, even transcending its own death. Harder to put down than a normal Risen, but not impossible to free if that lingering will is reached.
#15INFECTION TYPE: Unstoppable
Keys: Unstoppable
Unstoppable is a type of infected that makes the victim character almost impossible to free or defeat, usually granted to a character with strong emotions or to characters with legendary levels in their verse. Mutated Corrupted taken to the extreme: FAR stronger, covered in large amounts of Darkness and appendages, and practically impossible to save or survive against.
#16INFECTION TYPE: Undead Corrupted
Keys: Undead
Undead Corrupted are just like Normal Corrupted or Mutated Corrupted! Them being incapable of being saved, due to them being diseased. Corpses can be assimilated into the Darkness, practically being a husk inhabited by the Darkness!
#17INFECTION TYPE: Mutated Corrupted
Keys: Mutated
Mutated Corrupted are FAR stronger than normal corrupted, them having large amounts of Darkness covering their bodies… as well as several appendages that help corrupt, as well as kill! It being quite hard to escape them, as well as being even more difficult to free someone from this state! Some Mutated are INSANELY powerful, practically impossible to be saved… or survive against!
