Everyone knows that magic is real, that it's the driving force behind the evolution society has gone through over the past few thousand years.... more>>

Everyone gets annoyed by the faeries stealing your socks, or swapping your car for a carriage, or coating all your food with salt. Because things like that don't matter enough to hide.

Everyone learns about Hitler, the darkest necromancer ever known,who singlehandedly waged war on the rest of the world, in school, and the other similar events in history. Because they were too large to hide.

But for everything else, the veil hides the magic from the mundane. There might be an unlicenced werewolf working as your librarian. Maybe a dragon owns your local banking chain. Maybe the murder victim who was killed in a locked room WAS killed by an angry ghost. Or a shapeshifter. Or the elder Fae. Or a rogue Wizard.

The solution? Everyone knows the answer to that too. The one thing every police department in the world has in common. The Wizard Division.

The L.A.W.D. (Los Angeles Wizard Division) is in for one hell of a ride, when Charlie, a new trainee foisted into the world of magic joins their ranks, and with him a whole host of new and unusual magic sheananigans comes to Los Angeles. <<less

Shadows. Beware of shadows. An alluring light casts an unholy shadow.

14-year-old Sasanoyou Aosagi comes from a family of opium farmers on the impoverished island of Nagekomi. After years of blight and never-ending raids by pirates, her family finally decided to sell their most useless daughter to the brothels.

"Useless", however, is a matter of perspective.

The red light district of Nagekomi is a garden of fraud and false flowers, and who can think of a better use of a calligraphy pen than to embellish a few love letters with lies?

"A world came to life under a pen. As Han Sooyoung furiously scribbled, the intricate and elaborate world started spinning tales of its own—tales of people—of joy, sorrow, anger, peace, defeat, victory and disappointment. Yet, it was impossible for things to not spin out of her control. After all, even if this world commenced under her incitement, its creator, it was still hard for a single entity like her to control such an elaborate world."

Across the vast emptiness beyond the reach of everything, Rath'na was in the middle of nowhere. Losing the reason to live, it decided to vanish its existence to oblivion, as its ultimate goal had been reached. It was ready to be forgotten. But suddenly...

“AS LONG AS I CAN LIFT A WEAPON, UNTIL MY MIND FINALLY BREAKS, I WILL NEVER STOP KILLING THOSE WHO STAND ALONG MY WAY!” “Every moment, happy or sad, every moment of my life, I shall live to the fullest!” “I’ve seen enough blood. The same, crimson paint that’s been shed in every corner.” “Stop. Please stop it…” “Thank You” “I’m sorry” “I love you” “Stop...” “Leave me alone…”
“Run!” “Run!”

It heard unfamiliar voices in its head, echoed by its entire existence. Upon pondering where these memories came from, Rath'na decided to return to it's former residence, the "Eternal Prison", where countless realities are found.

On the way to the "Eternal Prison", it will hop between countless realities, it will encounter many stories, worlds and universes. Emotions, ideas and the will to live, are just waiting to be discovered again, to find who is behind the voice that's been stuck on its mind, no matter how distant it might be.
