Overview

Intent on remaining in the state of hyper-sapience, The-Creeping-Darkness of the WuShi will stop at nothing. Set in the futuristic world of planet Janaidar where ancient dragons and alien invaders clash, the story follows Elijah, a man who has been stolen and transformed by the terrifying and enigmatic AI known as the WuShi. Elijah struggles to survive as the ancient-alien sophont threads its control over him. In the depths of Cape Orion, an ages old Imperial Long Dragon awakens from deep slumber and sets out to confront the dangerous alien slaver hiding in the Upper Hangar and Staging Area. What it finds instead is an ill-fated human named Elijah, who has been fully transformed into a cyborg by the WuShi. Darkness descends upon Bahndahn Towne as a massive alien ship looms above while unleashing a paralyzing gas upon the unsuspecting inhabitants. The NuliZhu transgalactic slavers from the Empire of Ra have returned after 5,000 years. In the midst of the chaos, ensconced in the base of a hidden city-sized dodecahedron, bestial fury erupts in the WuShi's processors. It forms a vortex and harnesses the power of the surrounding water to create a monstrous and snarling water-beast of terrible dark energy. The WuShi must overcome the Guardian Dragons of Janaidar-whom it fears above all else-for only they can destroy it.
