Prologue:

Pe Culmile Disperării

I always wonder about the beings before the Gods that created us. What where they like? How did they live? Why were they born? And, what did they do that set the motion of time?

Perhaps... they are Gods themselves? Beings far beyond my computational analysis system could predict? If so, then the archives about them are nothing more than shallow information. Incomplete data dug out from the ruins of the past. Or perhaps they're Demons? Beings who led to the destruction of all. Beings Who wrote the future paths for the Gods of my time.

Appendages-like things grew out and formed a sickle blade of bones. It struck down fast, leaving him little spaces to move or dodge. In trying to dodge the bone sickle, he got hit a few times by the tentacles. The monster made a big swing from the side leaving him no other choice but to retreat a few meters back.

"Analyzed!" He shouted in annoyance. He changes to a defensive tactic, going around the monster as he dodges and parry the drill-like tentacles coming to him. Due to the deformed legs, the monster's gait was slow and unbalanced when trying to face him. This gave him a chance to damage the monster from behind.

"Analysis complete." With that, the information regarding the monster's pattern, weakness and strength came out in front of his eyes. Pinpointing each part of the monster's body, prediction of monster's line of action as well as his survivability rate against the monster.

"... A 34% survivability rate?" He questions himself as he retreated back after

    Quote #3 This quotation is written byJonathan Edwards in, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God". This sermon was written during the time of The Great Awakening where many people where converting or "awakening" to convert to be Christians. Puritans beleived in the concept of predestination, where God already has a plan and everything that happens is for a reason, good or bad. Edwards wrote this sermon because he wanted people recognize their sins and to repent for the bad things that they have done. It is clearly shown in,"Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" that God looks down at us humans, and in His eyes we are seen as puny, and weak, so easily fooled, and manipulated.…

    Morris writes, “They were called ants, dragonflies, beetles, bats, and locusts, but they were spiritual beings, not insects or animals.” (“Navajo Creation” 27) The Navajo’s believe the spirits were in nature forms. Also, the “Holy People” consisted of “Talking God,” “Water Sprinkler,” “Calling God,” and “Fire God,” which appeared to give instructions on making “First Man” and “First Woman” of buckskins and corn. “These were the first real people, five-fingered beings.”…

    As he is created by man, the appearance of the monster is unlike any other. The creation of the monster from bones and artificial parts lends itself to being representative of the working class (Benford 181). This confirms that the working class is a man made creation and Sandra Benford states that the artificial parts lead to the monster being mechanically inclined. Part of the reason the monster is unnatural is his physical perfection, not only is the monster stronger, faster, and more resilient the humans, he has the intelligence to rival man (Shelley 31). This seemingly physical perfection of the monster is akin to a machine, it is simply too powerful and reliable in its strength to be human.…

    In Frankenstein, Mary Shelley talks about a monster, who transforms from an innocent individual to an evil person at the end. The entire story revolves around the monster and his creator, who abandons the monster at the time of monster’s creation. Furthermore, the society rejects the monster and this rejection changes the harmless being to a harmful creature. Thus, Shelly comments on the idea of human nature being learned and not innate through her tale of the monster. I strongly believe Mary Shelley’s portrayal of the monster in the story depicts human transformation based on their experience in the society.…
