Parish 1: Buy the Book, by Null0Trooper is the story of how devout Luciferian Mason Abimelech Alban Goodwin becomes a Church Knight.
Buy the Book was published Monday, December 12, 2022, and covers events from Monday, June 18, 2007 to Monday, June 25, 2007 in San Canaan, Utah, from Mason's perspective. Whether other events occur inside the mind of the initiate or literally in Heaven or Hell is left as an exercise for the faithful.
Events[]
2007-06-18[]
Mase, Jase, Oscar, and Shane are tasked with cleaning up the local campground for their troop and another to spend the week.

Troop 613, from Omaha, Nebraska arrives. A couple stay overnight with Mason and his brother Jason.
2007-06-20[]
Pack out and set up at Sidewinder Creek Campground, just a few miles more isolated than San Canaan. Some hiking, sunburns, cactus encounters. A snipe hunt is planned and presumably goes off without a hitch.
2007-06-21[]
By afternoon, the campground supervisor has gone missing and the local troop is showing signs of the water supply being drugged or poisoned. Mason alerts Jonathan to the problem. Dalton notices that it's not an isolated problem. Then things get much more hectic. Jonathan has a plan to obfuscate matters, not knowing which side sent the warning about this fiasco.
2007-06-25[]
Part of the rituals' aftermath is that Mason's mutant empathy trait has been altered to now perceive a person's sins.
