I had a childhood just like anyone else, it was when I was 20 that my life changed. That was when he joined me, he doesn't have a name. He showed me my true purpose in life, to save the world from destruction. It has been planned from the dawn of creation, my success is assured, but that doesn't mean that it won't get ugly. Join me on a journey of madness and discovery.
