Backstory:
Growing up in a simple town in the middle of Australia, life wasn't always easy for Vence. As a kid he always wanted to be an archaeologist and become famous for discovering ancient artefacts and ruins, but unfortunately Vence's family wasn't the most economically fortunate Vence's parents believed in his dream and his father accepted a job at the local mines to slowly fund his sons future.
Whilst studying in his local high school Vence met another student named Tahu who also dreamed of being an archaeologist quickly they become the best of friends even going to the same University together. They researched and ancient cursed book called the book of death that seemingly belonged to the god of death Anubis. Vence swire to his friend then that they'll be the ones to find it.
After years down at the mines Vence's father had saved enough money for Vence to go to college after a teary goodbye Vence left home to go to college with his friend. A couple months later Vence returned home to visit his parents but only found his mother. Vence's mother told him that a couple weeks ago whilst his father was in the mines the rocks collapsed killing him and a few of his co-workers.
Vence cried with his mother before swearing to his mother that he will become the archaeologist he dreamed of to honour his father's sacrifice. After graduating from college Vence and Tahu flew to the mountains of Egypt where they began several expeditions to find the book of death.
After countless years of searching they discovered a giant chamber hidden in the far mountains of Egypt filled with bookshelves and paintings, but what really stood out was the ritual circle in the centre with the book of death and ritual blade.
Excited about what they found Vence and Tahu moved the entire team in to set up camp around the room, Vence curious about the book of death walks over and examines the book finding the face of Anubis on it, and a blade, Vence foolishly picks the blade up and ends up accidentally cutting himself on it, noting that the blade is still very sharp. Vence's blood drips onto the ritual circle which absorbs his blood as it drips causing it to glow slightly.
The other archaeologists at the dig quickly tend to Vence's hand As he receives a phone call from the hospital in his home town letting him know that his mother has died from a heart attack. Vence cries into the night struggling to cope with his mother's death.
Vence is awoken in the night to ghostly whispers. As Vence gets up to investigate he hears his parents voices telling him that they're proud of him and telling him to read the book of death. Vence quickly does so accidentally summoning the god of death Anubis, Anubis tells Vence that he has been chosen to be his disciple, Anubis summons a glowing blue ring and serrated sword.
Anubis without warning agonizingly changes Vence's body limb by limb ripping apart his leather jacket and jeans to match his own form making him more wolf like, cursing him to kill for him forever. Vence is horrified by his new form finding he has sharp claws and canine head and feet, he is even forced to grow a tail with spurts blood out of Vence's lower body as it tears from his flesh.
Anubis tells Vence that the souls of the damned are his to control handing him the ring and book and orders him to kill everyone else here, Vence going mad from the power agrees slaughtering all the other archaeologists in their sleep with the sword of death or tormenting them with summoned spirits causing them agonizing pain.
Eventually only Vence's old friend Tahu is left who runs out of the chamber with the book of death to the cliffside. Vence quickly follows suit both climbing up the mountainside, Tahu tries to reason with his old friend but the man he once new was gone. Vence watches as Tahu tries to reason with him but , Vence only caring about the book looks over the cliff only to see black fog creeping up the mountainside.
As Vence emerges through the fog he finds himself in a new realm that needs to be taught the true meaning of death.

Backstory:
Being born into a rich family in Australia, Tahu always had an easy time inspiring those around him. Tahu from a young age wanted to explore and go on adventures but his parents didn't approve of his activities and enforced a rule banning all of his exploration. Tahu's parents kept trying to convince him to be a doctor or scientist enrolling him in special programs in school. But Tahu was never happy and without his parents permission he enrolled in an ancient history and geography program keeping him happy at school.
Once other children around him knew he wanted to be an archaeologist they all teased and tormented him stealing his books and pushing him around. One time a child took it too far and started attacking him, Tahu for some unexplained reason took it without reaction standing his ground in front of his bullies.
Soon after Tahu admitted to his parents that he resigned from his other subjects and has been studying ancient history full time now. Instead of embracing their son Tahu's parents scalded him for his aspirations calling the school and resigning for him.Tahu heartbroken at his parents reaction waited until the middle of the night to sneak out and take the bus to a simpler life someone down in the middle of Australia. Tahu arrived at a small town and rented out a small apartment with money stolen from his parents.
Whilst at his new school's library one day he bumped into another student named Vence who he quickly discovered had the same passion for archaeology he did bonding over shared stories and facts the two made a plan to be great archeologists one day.One day in the library they discovered a text about an ancient book called the book of death which supposedly belonged to the Egyptian god Anubis.
They decided then and there that they would be the ones to discover that book and go down in history.After graduating from college Tahu and Vence flew off to Egypt to try and locate the book of death. The two found other various artefacts in the time in the field even receiving invites to the explorers guild where they received awards for their fantastic finds.
Tahu found out soon after that Vence still wasn't happy he still wanted to find the book of death. Tahu desperate to calm his friend down promised that they would leave for an exhibition soon to go after it. On the exhibition Tahu and Vence explored the mountains around Egypt whilst digging around, rubble fell from the nearby mountain causing a secret passageway to be revealed inside the mountainside. Vence leads the way as Tahu documented the writing on the passage into the chamber as Tahu reached the main chamber he witnesses Vence accidentally cut himself on a knife in the middle of the room. As he rushes a bandage over to his friend he watches as Vence's blood seemingly gets absorbed into the bricks below.
After bandaging his friends hand Tahu and a few other archaeologists documents the book of death and the sacrificial knife Vence cut himself own. Tahu takes a photo of the ancient bricks and symbols on the ground hoping to translate them later. Late in the night Tahu is jolted awake by the screams of his fellow archaeologists as he peeks through his tent he sees several dead bodies of his workers. Tahu then takes a step back and checks Vence's sleepy bag but all he finds is the bandage he applied earlier.
Tahu once again peeks through the tent and bears witness to several ghostly apparitions flying across the room carrying other people and hitting them against the rock walls. Tahu spots another creature picking up another worker and stabbing them in the chest and absorbing the spirit into some kind of ring. As the creature turns around he recognises the outfit it's wearing and discovers that the creature is his friend Vence.
Tahu seeing that he draws power from the book of death takes it and runs out of the chamber and up the mountainside. Tahu runs for his life as he hears what was his friend chasing him down. Tahu stops in his tracks as he realises that he reached the top of the mountain. He tries to reason with his friend but discovers that it's not his friend anymore, Tahu tries to reason to the beast that was his friend but it doesn't listen with it's eyes staring at the book as it walks closer.
Suddenly the cliff breaks from beneath Tahu's feet, knowing that death is coming he embraces it and prepares for the sudden hit. To his surprise it never comes, as he opens his eyes he discovers that the book of death is gone and he's found himself in a while new world filled with dangerous creatures.
Tahu steps up embracing the fog as he marches through to find some help.
