Cancer treatment... sorta part of the reward?
When all was said and done, I was transported back home. I was still sick, and i figured i should get checked out by a doctor.. yay for somewhat free healthcare. Well.. turned out i had cancer. Which, to be fair, i expected, but i still felt a sense of dread. I abstained from starting cancer treatment, going back home and dwelling on it. It seems that i've gained an ability to produce cures for diseases, poisons and stuff. Anyways- it came with a caveat, i couldn't drink alcohol or eat meat for a whole month! At least, not on purpose, i guess. Meatless instant noodles and grilled cheeses for a whole month, it seems. Well, at least i'm cancer-free now. I don't think i'm going to that doctor again, though.. i don't wanna be dissected or something cause i instantly had my cancer cured. Speaking of, i hope this cancer debacle doesn't go on my medical records...
The Sons of Salem
We swear to secure our people against the wickedness and evil of the invisible world.
We swear to aid the afflicted.
We swear to stay ever vigilant and seek out the abominable witchcrafts committed in this country.
We humbly pray to be blessed by God to hold all those who consort with the Devil accountable. Amen
—Opening and closing prayer for Sons of Salem meetings.
The Sons of Salem is a loosely-organized conservative populist movement in the United States that preaches violent opposition to anything they perceive as witchcraft, demonic, or monstrous.
Blowhard podcaster Ted Gundy and former general of the mercenary group “Hognose,” Roland Rush, founded the movement in 2010 after a series of violent werewolf attacks and unexplained, supernatural murders in Tennessee. Memberships grew quickly, stoked by Ted’s fiery doomsday rhetoric on his podcast "Truth Seekers" and the aspiration of the masculine power embodied by Roland.
Although they speak of duty, honor, and maintaining the “natural order” of things, the Sons of Salem are driven by fear. They collect guns and appear at protests en-masse as a way of easing the all-consuming terror of their powerlessness. At the same time, they have conditioned themselves to respond to fear with “strength” (read: violence).
