I live with my family in Borre. It's a small hamlet up North, near an ancient forest. The winters here span long months, while summer passes swiftly. Every year, for the Yule celebration, we honour the gods and spirits. We welcome the arrival of the benevolent Lord — the Sun King, who bestows us with harvest, protects our flock from the frost, and shields hunters from wolves.
The longest night has passed, and summer always follows winter. However, one of the seers noticed that the summers are getting colder, and the nights are growing longer. It's now dangerous to hunt in the forests, as monsters have appeared.

Tear out a sheet from a notebook. Grid paper is best, from the middle. Unfold it and draw a large circle. Divide the circle into sections, like a clock. Scatter all the letters of the alphabet around the circle's sectors. Now take a needle and a red thread. Red is best. Insert the needle into the circle's centre. Next, you must call out three times: "Guest, come forth! Guest, come forth! Guest, come forth!"

Fear never fades. It's like an incurable disease, for which there is no remedy. They say fear is a useful instinct. Perhaps it is, as fear itself prevented my demise. Yet, for those who have experienced hell, returning to a normal life is a daunting task. On that day, 20 ships took off, bound for Mars, but none of them made it. This is the story of the crew of "HJ-20".

Netjeru: Sins of the Gods
It all began with an Egyptian queen. Neferen fell in love with a demon and bore a son from him, for which her lineage and her entire people were cursed by the gods. Her name was taken from her, and her son was given to Duat—the Underworld. Oh no... wait! This nonsense was concocted by priests. They gladly deceive naive believers. Now, I will tell you the true story. Although, no, I will only do so under one condition...
Who is to blame when the whole world is crumbling? Can one person stand against the terrifying will of ancient gods? Can love conquer primal evil?
Sins of the Gods: when one mistake can cost the life of the entire world.
The Kingdom of the Sun and the Sahara. The Kingdom of the Eternal River, whose blue waters wash over the fertile Black Land. The first pharaohs who created the greatest empire of all time. Bloody conflicts of the priesthood. And an incredible love that has the power to overcome all obstacles.
Netjeru! Their story lives within us through the ages!

The Empire of Kur, the empire of monsters, would rise from the ruins, and then the forgotten gods would return to the Celestial Realm to save the world.
