Prologue.

  Yam Cohen, a name whispered with reverence in his community, was a beacon of faith from a young age. Raised in a devout family, he felt a strong calling to the priesthood. His unusual appearance - dark skin, striking blue eyes, and blue hair - was seen by some as a sign of divine favor. After years of study and rigorous training, he was ordained as a priest and quickly gained a reputation as a skilled exorcist, fearlessly confronting the darkness that lurked in the shadows.

  For years, Father Yam served the Church faithfully, performing exorcisms and providing spiritual guidance. However, a turning point came when he encountered an ancient artifact, a relic pulsing with a dark energy, hidden deep within the Church's catacombs. This artifact, connected to forgotten rituals and forbidden knowledge, stirred something within him, intensifying his sensitivity to the supernatural.

  Around the same time as the artifact's discovery, reports began circulating of a figure resembling Father Yam committing heinous acts: desecrating churches, harming innocents, and even seemingly engaging in Satanic rituals. This doppelganger exploited Father Yam's image to sow chaos and undermine faith. As "evidence" mounted - distorted recordings, manipulated photographs, and forged documents - the Church was forced to take action.

  Despite his impassioned pleas of innocence, Father Yam was excommunicated. The community, once his staunchest supporters, turned against him. His closest friends and allies became suspicious, and the Church he had dedicated his life to cast him out. His name, once synonymous with faith and compassion, became associated with fear and evil.

  The excommunication was just the beginning. Father Yam's world became increasingly distorted, plagued by visions of the doppelganger, whispers on old radios, and ghostly images on television screens. The analog technology in his life, once benign, became a conduit for the malevolent entity that controlled the doppelganger. He found himself trapped in a waking nightmare, unable to trust his senses and unsure of what was real.

  Driven by a burning desire to clear his name and uncover the truth, Father Yam embarked on a perilous journey to find the doppelganger. He followed the entity's trail through dark forests and abandoned churches, battling not only the physical manifestation of his double but also the psychological torment it inflicted.

  The confrontation was brutal and desperate. Armed with an ancestral sword passed down through generations of his family, he faced the doppelganger in a climactic showdown. Despite the doppelganger's supernatural strength, Father Yam managed to sever the entity's head, ending its reign of terror. However, the victory came at a cost: a broken arm, a shattered reputation, and a lingering sense of unease. this was not his best day,due to what the consequences led to making him be seen as nothing but a monster.

  Even with the doppelganger defeated, Father Yam's battle is far from over. The community remains fractured, haunted by the memories of the doppelganger's actions. The distorted analog signals persist, and malevolent entities continue to lurk in the shadows. Father Yam, now the "Cassock Shadow," must continue his fight, seeking to restore faith, cleanse the community of the analog corruption, and reclaim his identity as a force for good. His lore becomes a tale of faith tested, identity stolen, and the haunting power of the analog world.

  Yam POV

  I was working in my newer churches and while I prayed to God and hoped people were okay I noticed people outside talking like their mentioning some weirdness like strange people acting violent in an unnatural way like they were ripping people's arms off their causing problems they are sick it's not right so I'm questioning what's happening. I've come to this new town as it is simple peaceful and well considering superheroes villains and weird creatures like exalts exist it's kind of normal with the spiritual being common.

  Yam:*walks outside and looks at the strange people talking about it*

  I looked at them and questioned the main issue, as I watched them talking about a person like their acting demonic, out of line, and not in the right health.

  Yam:: "Explain children what is the issue..?"

  The young children, looked at me as I raised an eyebrow as their parents came grabbing them.

  Father;"Hello Father Yam you see our kids are talking crazy about ,a kid, and well they are mentioning our neighbor going, crazy"

  Yam:"Crazy...? How crazy exactly?"

  I was curious about them and while I was waiting for an answer the mother decided to speak.

  Yam:"Well what is it...? Is it the rumors in this town I moved into after gaining a new church?

  Mother: "Well how do we explain this...

  Yam:*waiting for an answer*

  Mother:"Okay we had him locked up and he's making a lot of noise,he's been breaking down our doors,so we had to lock him up"

  she then,points at the large building,I wasn't aware of so I went towards it and heard loudbanging sounds noticing even how theirs even scratching sounds as the male was screaming and violent.
