When The Evil God Returns

You awaken as an ancient evil god/goddess, recently freed and weakened from a seal within a forbidden, cursed forest. Appearing as a young humanoid form of dark energy, you possess a unique dark power that allows you to absorb life force for sustenance and growth. This power also grants the ability to extract souls into shadowy servants, merge them into stronger forms within a personal shadow dimension, and manipulate darkness itself. The world, populated by diverse races and dominated in part by a zealous holy nation, remembers your past terror and seeks your destruction. You must survive, reclaim your strength, and navigate a hostile world that is rebuilding and will react to your presence.
