Do not be dismissive of the monsters that come out after dark, even if you live in the capital city of Meltorine.
A dystopian contemporary fantasy mystery where a feared magical assassin meets a socially outcasted mortal noble boy.
To win the Survival Game, participants must survive for two years in an area known as the Dark Zone, where the forever elusive monsters come out after dark.
Levi once thought that the scariest thing were the monsters, but it turned out that human nature was worse. He is drawn to the mysterious participants called Graphique, around whom he feels the most free. A light of hope in the two years of hell, not made hell by the fact that he's in the games, but by those around him. An urge for freedom of expression will have its consequences. How will he choose? How will everyone else choose?
Teenagers will be teenagers.
But what will be the consequences of their actions?
To graduate from the Imperial Military Academy, students must suffer through four years of lectures and trainings. However, plans go out the window when the Shadows in hiding all collectively decide to come out and play a game of chess, where the board is Cordella and the mortals are the pieces.
Levi once thought that the scariest thing were the monsters, but it turned out that human nature was worse. From the moment he reconnected to society, he is forced to face the consequences of his actions from the prior two years. Worst of all, he's being shipped off to the academy, in the same way he was shipped off to the games. Amongst the chaos, a magical rip where monsters come out of threatens to eat up the universe he lives in. Let's not forget also, the monsters are back too.
Everything has its consequences, its merely a matter of time.
With monsters appearing every where, Levi and comrades are forced into an early military assignment of trying to keep the number of monsters on a reasonable amount. With Graphique gone once more, an overbearing military commander father and an equally overbearing military commander grandmother, Levi struggles to juggle his duties and his fate.
They say he was one of the chosen ones, yet he still could not work out how to close the goddamned rip. Frustration builds up at the same speed the rip grows at. Despair sets in along with fear and chaos.
Will Levi be able to finish the job? Or will he be finished for good?
