The Enigmatic President of Serpents and Hidden Knowledge
Valac, also known as Valak, Ualac, or Volac, is a mysterious and potent figure in demonology, recognized as a President who commands thirty-eight legions of spirits. Notable for his dominion over serpents and his ability to reveal hidden treasures, Valac stands out as a guardian of secrets and a manipulator of the more obscure forces of nature.
That was before… Consumption Era has arrived.
An age in which the gods died not from war and not from oblivion — they simply stopped being feared.
Humanity no longer believed in higher powers, nor in retribution, nor in any meaning that extended beyond the body. Fear was displaced by comfort, prayer by subscription, sin by a user agreement.
Morality became an optional feature, disabled in the settings.
The world turned into an endless market of sensations.
People consumed everything: objects, images, one another and themselves.
Even pain became a commodity — if it was packaged beautifully enough.
Among this smooth, muffled noise remained those who thought.
Who asked questions that did not lead to pleasure.
Who felt emptiness where others saw choice.
They did not belong to the System.
They were dangerous precisely because they were not looking for a replacement for God.
The authorities did not see them as a riot, but a malfunction.
Project “Rebirth”
The solution came not from temples, but from laboratories.
If people no longer feared the gods, then the gods had to return in a form that could not be ignored.
Thus was born the idea of resurrecting the divine — not as faith, but as an instrument of control.
Genetic engineering, biotechnology, neural networks, digitized myths — everything was thrown into a single cauldron.
Ancient names were lifted from the dust of grimoires and translated into code, into DNA, into surveillance protocols.
One of the first was Valak. He was created both to reinforce faith in consumption, to seek out new pleasures, and to combat dangerous thinking people.
Valak was created dual in nature.
The Physical Level
He was given a body assembled in the sterile silence of laboratories:
— the flesh of a dead child,
— reinforced with mechanisms,
— stabilized by biosynthetic nodes.
The choice of form was no accident.
A child’s body inspired trust.
A dead one had no past.
Mechanisms had no mercy.
He walked among people as both a relic and a prototype at once.
As something that could not be called a living thing, a machine, or a miracle.
The Digital Level
In parallel there existed Valak.exe — a distributed entity living in networks, data, implants, and streams of entertainment.
He saw what people were searching for, what they feared, which pleasures had yet to be invented.
His ancient function — to reveal the hidden — was rewritten as an absolute surveillance algorithm.
His Dragon became a dual-circuit combat AI:
the first head — an archive of the past,
the second — a probability forecast of the future.
It moves not through space, but between layers of infrastructure:
satellites, undersea cables, forgotten servers, dead cities.
When Valak “rides” the Dragon, it means that
he is simultaneously reading what was hidden and what has not yet been found.
His Serpents are no longer flesh. They are digital parasitic entities —
micro-AIs capable of penetrating any system: financial, military, neural implants.
Valak knows where they dwell, because he himself generates them.
He can “bring a serpent” to anyone who manages to contact him —
but the price is always the same:
you will learn the truth about your treasure,
and you will never again be able to ignore it.
New God Service
Valak no longer answered questions about treasures. He created them.
New forms of pleasure, new addictions, new desires —
subtle, personalized, perfectly suited to every customer.
To the masses he was an invisible architect of enjoyment.
For the thinking, a shadow that was always one step ahead.
He hunted them as he once hunted serpents.
And when he found them, he did not destroy them.
He showed them the truth, so accurately and mercilessly that most of them went back to sleep.
