One shall gaze into the abyss and gain its secrets, its powers. Concurrently, the abyss also gazes into oneself, gaining one’s sanity, one’s humanity.

Dimensional rifts appeared spontaneously on Earth, bringing otherworldly demons along with the Crimson Gloom onto Earth. Many battles were fought, many sacrifices made. Humans eventually sealed and successfully defending their homeworld.

Alas, the seals were not perfect. The Crimson Abyss continued to exist, slowly influencing Earth and its inhabitants.
