"This Book is the Summer Journal of Evan Daniels in the year 1993! If found, please turn in at the front desk of the Squire Apartments located next to Fairhill Square if you're in Philly. If you find it in Muldraugh, then please return this to 222 Hostler Way. This is important, please! It's for my summer assignment! "... more>>

An average, normal looking journal whose cover worn and damaged with wear and stained with what is hopefully more tears and sweat than blood. What was supposed to be an assignment covering what your summer job was like became a tale of a desperate struggle for survival and a meaning for that survival. It is July 1993 in Kentucky, and hell has run out of room and released its prisoners. On the 1st, the local municipal company had to shut off land lines into the region . On the 4th despite difficulties in staff becoming ill the Independence Day celebration went off without a hitch. On the 6th, the Military blockaded the entire region south of Louisville and north of Fort Knox going as far west as the crook in the Ohio River. It was a large enough area that it contained Muldraugh, West Point, Valley Station and other small communities and covered territory of four separate counties: Meade, Hardin, Bullit and Jefferson. This is a region referred to by its inhabitants as 'Knox Country'.

No one outside of the boundary was told of what was going on within, save only that a disease had emerged and was being contained and the individuals afflicted cared for. With the landlines down there was no way to communicate with those within save to pray and hope that God himself delivered the message with one of his angels. Within the boundary... a nightmare was unfolding unlike any other the world had ever seen. People grew sick, then they died... but not all the way.

They returned, ferocious and hungry. Eager for flesh of any sort, but their fellow man's most of all.

Why was this happening? What was the cause of all this? Was this a purposeful attack by another nation, a mutation induced by science in its hubris, or God's Divine Wrath poured down on us all for our hubris and sin? Was there even a purposeful cause at all, or was this just a new twist in nature's evolutionary game?

Perhaps answering questions like those are what motivated this young man to keep writing in his journal in these dark days. Perhaps in these records of his experiences, some measure of the truth can be found. But the record within this tome may not be for the frail of heart, for this is not a triumphant hero's journey, nor a coming of age tale.

This is the story of how we died. <<less

“Cripple” Ross and misfortune were kin, close as a shadow on a sunless day. Yet, in Ross' eyes, the fellowship was a curse, a malignant growth he wished to excise. On numerous occasions, it had wronged him, and in its final act of malevolence, it robbed from him the gift of a lengthy life. 'Unjustly', Ross would often grumble. ... more>>

In a grand play of destiny, however, Ross finds himself thrust into a mysterious Victorian-era magical world teeming with dark secrets, ancient and powerful relics, potions, secret societies, and aberrations defying all sense of logic. A fool's paradise...

Presented with a favorable second spin at life, Ross becomes optimistic, however he would soon discover that things are not as simple as they seem...

Jill, the legendary warrior, started her adventure by tripping into a portal by accident.... more>>

Jill wasn't expecting any adventure to come to her life after she dropped out of high school two years ago. At best, maybe she would have a wonderful love story. After two years of having zero contact with anyone from school, including her friends, one of her friends sends her a letter asking for help. Curious, Jill goes to where the letter tells her to go and, after walking around, finds an old abandoned shrine. As she explores it, she stumbles upon a pond that strangely looks like a portal. Having common sense, Jill turns around to walk away...

....then trips and falls in. When she comes to, she finds herself in a mystical beautiful garden in the middle of a black void...

....and meets a carefree cheery quirky girl named Chaersie who guards this place. Chaersie, after she had enough fooling around with Jill, tells Jill that she has come into contact with the Yeither, and, as such, must now either stay here in the garden or go out and either hunt down Monseuteo, monsters from multiple dimensions created by The Garden Of Sinners, or risk being attacked by them while she is walking alone.

Because Jill doesn't want to be ripped to shreds and wants to find her friend, she decides to hunt the Monseuteo. When she makes that decision, she learns that, in a certain part of the world, magical girls do exist, and she is now one of them! Yet, she quickly learns that quite a few magical girls are psychopaths who have been alive for a long time, or their own magic has done something to their brain. Yet, determined to save her friend, Jill doesn't back down. As she fights, she soon learns that all of her friends but one have disappeared...

....and that she isn't really a good warrior either. Oh, and she has a dysfunctional team. No joke, one of them is a masochist, the other a sadist. The other two aren't better either. One of them is a jerk and the other one may or may not be a serial killer. Still, Jill has a mission and a job to do.

And so begins Jill's luck-needed adventure as a Ryōshi, a fancy name for a magical girl, a hunter of monsters, to try and find her friends and take down The Garden Of Sinners.
