In these pages you will find a brief history of where the Madness began. In short, a man named Asura succumbed to his own fears to the point that he consumed any soul he could find, including his own weapon. Due to his own power and the extensive amount of corruption, Asura was able to create the Madness wavelength that exists right now.
This wavelength is basically fueled by fear. But it is more than just the emotion. When infected by the Madness, all your fears and doubts overtake any sense of rationality and reason. Your perception can be altered to the point of seeing hallucinations or suffering delusions, and your own thinking and personality may become warped depending on how much you’ve been infected. Low levels will likely only produce mild hallucinations and fear, but larger doses will make you more violent and dangerous. As if to counteract against the fear, the Madness will give you a false sense of strength and power as well as make you desire for more of it. Without the ability to rationalize, there is nothing mentally to stop you.
[and here comes the serious tone.]
And if infected with enough Madness, it is near impossible to bring you out of it, especially if you’ve consumed souls. In addition, not only can it affect your thinking, but it can also change and twist one’s own physical form if given very high doses. Some of you may have witnessed that in the previous mission with the animals. But for those who fought against kishin eggs, what you saw was also a result of the Madness. They were once human, but due to the Madness and their corrupted souls, they changed.
That is why Madness is considered very dangerous and why you need to understand that it is not something to be trifled with.
Now if you have any questions about this, I’ll address them now.
