Ahriman began his journey as an ambitious man, tirelessly seeking knowledge and power beyond the mortal realm. In a hidden cavern, he unearthed a dark secret: the ability to drain the life force from others, allowing him to prolong his own existence. As decades turned into centuries, Ahriman honed this sinister art, learning to manipulate the very fabric of reality itself. With newfound dark powers, he amassed a vast legion of thralls, individuals who willingly sacrificed their own lives to serve his insatiable appetite for dominance.
This insatiable quest for power ultimately transformed him into a being of pure entropy and malevolence. Ahriman sought not just to prolong his own life, but to unravel and recreate reality itself in a chaotic reflection of his darkest desires. Eons passed as he spread chaos, influencing the minds of the weak and desperate. His presence loomed large across realms, sowing discord and luring countless souls with the alluring promise of unimaginable power and the key to immortality, all in exchange for their servitude and, ultimately, his freedom.
However, Ahriman's reign of terror was not to last indefinitely. A coalition of powerful monks, united by their unwavering hope and collective strength, realized the grave threat he posed to existence itself. Through immense sacrifice and unwavering determination, they crafted a specially designed mirror using their combined wills and life forces—an ancient vessel capable of containing Ahriman's malignant essence. At last, they succeeded in imprisoning him within this arcane artifact, sealing away his corrupting influence from the world.
Yet, even trapped, Ahriman’s whispers continued to seep into the hearts of the vulnerable. Those who faltered under the weight of ambition or despair found themselves haunted by the seductive promises of power and eternal life. Ahriman, the dark puppeteer, lay dormant but constantly scheming, biding his time as he waited for a moment of weakness to exploit, with the ultimate aim of breaking free and reigniting his reign of chaos upon the cosmos once more.
