The Dark One: True Rise to Power

An ancient evil has once again returned after a decade to find new victims to support their true evil plan for total world destruction. The victims, many of whom are just normal everyday citizens of Washington Missouri, do not get to truly die after their brutal murders. They are tormented to go out and support the ancient evil, the Dark One. The Dark One is to not be trusted but those who died from the ghostly hands of his thrall must do what they are told or be consumed which will benefit them regardless.
The Dark One isn’t God nor Satan, doesn’t reside within Heaven or Hell, but somewhere in-between where an odd hum can be heard in this void-like dimension. The humming drives mortals insane, and those who survived the attacks, or more like chosen to be left alive, are driven insane as no one believes them of their tales of who committed the acts of murder, and they themselves are driven into a mental institution. The Dark One visits these poor souls to torment them further.
