I would like to note that most of these characters mentioned are not mine (i.e. Slenderman, Ticci Toby, and the likes), even though later on I may add a few of my own.

Uploads of the chapters will be sporadic due to my schedule.

The category isn't exactly right - I couldn't figure out what category to put it in.

Constructive criticism is welcome.

If you are wondering why instead of "Prologue" I have "0.9", it is because this style is convenient for me. Also, if a chapter contains more than one p.o.v., I will upload each p.o.v. separately, marking them with a number depending on how many p.o.v.s there are.

I hope you enjoy the story. Thank you.

0.9 Slenderman

Hello, reader. No doubt you are a human. Nearly all readers of our exploits are. It is simply the way of things.

Oh, and I have yet to introduce myself. At this point you might be slightly confused as to the "our" I am referring to. I assure you, though, that once I give my name your confusion will clear up.

Over the centuries, you humans have called me many names, but the most contemporary one is this: Slenderman.

Yes, I am Slenderman. The one who stalks you in your sleep. The one who drives you insane. And now, the one who seeks to save your world from utter destruction.

But I am getting ahead of myself. Allow me, dear reader, to break down everything for you.

The world of monsters, or, as you humans call it, "creepypasta," is real. It exists. Occasionally, the monsters in said world are able to slip through the veil and travel to your world, usually as nightmares. You may not believe it but travelling across veils is rather exhausting, even for someone such as myself. Creepypasta, too, are not necessarily "original" – as we slip through into minds, sometimes instead of nightmares we come as ideas, and stay as ideas. These then get written down as stories, thus spreading our legacy across the Internet. Indeed, Eric Knudson may think that I was his brainchild, when in truth I had always existed.

The same goes for all of the other citizens of our dark and twisted world – Jeff the Killer, Laughing Jack, Ticci Toby… All of them. We all exist within our world, tormenting the mindless human recreations there, eking out a life of terror and gore.

But, dear reader, not all are satisfied with this. Some wish to go to your world, to completely dominate the realms and bathe everything in their own sinister shadow. You may be wondering, now, why I, Slenderman, the first character of creepypasta, would oppose this. Why, indeed? Well, dear reader, continue with me, and I shall tell you.
