Arch-Mage Entomancer Imago Carnifex was, by all reasonable standards, destined for greatness. For no one else in the realm had understood the limitless power one could possess over the most numerous of all creatures on the planet. Among the naive masses, existed a single solitary individual that stood on the bottom rung of an infinite ladder. With nothing but insurmountable power and an intellect to match, Imago would have to take down this pretender and finally achieve recognition for his efforts. However, an entirely unavoidable accident involving his nemesis and a jar of milk, would introduce him to an unforgiving world of deadly predators, disembodied voices, and an opportunity to become more powerful than ever before; but to do so he may have to go against everything that made him the man he was. Join me on an adventure of delusion, revenge, and creepy crawly insects, as we see just how far Imago will go to show those ignorant fools that no, he did not simply grant himself the title of Arch-Mage. That would be patently absurd.
