Let’s Ruin everyone’s day

The Dark Master – Ruin is conquering world after world, enslaving planets one by one with the help of his demon overlords. He’s going on a straight road to absolute domination, but a small problem has popped out lately. And the problem’s called Rack. And his a maniacal wizard on top of that. Oh, he’s not opposing Ruin, not at all. He’s just quite destructive. Every planet visited by Rack ends up in bits and pieces and it’s really hard to dominate if there’s nothing to dominate left, right?

So Rack gets one last chance to get his s… tuff together and obey the Dark Master. Will he manage to regain Ruin’s favor? No. What a question? He won’t even try as rebellion is the trail he ventures on!
