Prologue Reveal: The Wicked Shall Inherit the Earth

In the quiet of the night, beneath the facade of civilization, a sinister truth whispered through the world. Power and malevolence, entwined in an unholy alliance, ruled from shadowed corners. The wicked-seekers traversed the Earth, their influence pervading every facet of society—from the hallowed halls of government to the lofty towers of corporate empires, from the dazzling lights of Hollywood to the sterile corridors of hospitals. This was an era of masked intentions, where the most malevolent wore the brightest smiles, their sins hidden beneath layers of polished deceit.

True Crime had become an obsession, a spectacle where the monstrous acts of the powerful were paraded for entertainment. At the same time, the victims were mere afterthoughts, their stories buried under the weight of public fascination with the perpetrators. In this dark landscape, a mysterious hotline emerged in the fall of 1996. It offered a sanctuary for the wicked to unburden their souls and to confess their sins anonymously. Each call was a testament to humanity’s capacity for evil, a whisper from the abyss that reflected the deep-seated corruption festering within. The hotline’s eerie confessions captivated a group of six friends drawn together by morbid curiosity. As they listened, the boundaries between right and wrong blurred, revealing the darkness within them. Among them, an unseen force was at work—a catalyst for chaos, intent on purging the world of its false virtues to pave the way for an era of unrelenting darkness.

The prologue of this tale is a prelude to the fall, a glimpse into a world where the wicked reign supreme and the lines between sinner and saint dissolve into shadows. Here, beneath the surface of ordinary lives, the true inheritors of the Earth are revealed, their power and malice shaping a future shrouded in darkness.
