   Summary

   ✦ DISCONTINUED! SORRY!

    

   After the ritual meant to destroy the King in Yellow, Derek survives but becomes its unwilling host, trapped in a constant battle for control over his own mind and body. As he and Avery struggle to escape a collapsing world, the line between Derek and the entity begins to blur, threatening both reality and their lives. Amid the growing danger, Derek is forced to confront not only the King’s influence, but his own feelings for Avery, which may become his last anchor to humanity.

   ✦

   Or...
   The ritual to bind the King In Yellow fails and instead of killing both D3rlord3 and taking it down, it ends up living in D3rlord3's mind.
