When you were a kid, you lived with your grandmother in the small town of Silvertree, on the edge of a magical forest. Grandma is a witch, and she taught you how to use your magic to affect the natural world, too. “Magic is a part of you,” she always told you. “Learning how to use it means figuring out who you are.” Now you’re 19 and on your own. After years of living in the forest while you perfected your witchcraft, you’ve returned to take care of your grandmother’s house and crow-familiar while she’s gone. Figuring out who you are feels more important than ever - not to mention, figuring out what Silvertree is. A lot is just as you remembered: the friendly generous next-door neighbors with a kid just your age, the proud town council, the quaint little shops with quirky punny names, the gentle shadowy forest full of magic.

"Lord, save the scavenger, for he is fragile of body and mind..." May the call of the game, the unending test of humanity by our god, ring echoes through your hearts, for the truth of your mind and body will eventually be consumed by that same façade. The eternal underdog, slothfully disposed for millennia, shall never know the glory given to mankind. "It's about time your heart was clued in... on the contract attached to the fate you face." /// Amson Grinner will never escape from himself-- at least, not before breaking both body and mind. Every day is the same cycle, listening to his thoughts and restraining his true self behind the faces imposed upon him, the faces brought about by other's expectations of him. Hardened, selfish and guiltless... that is the truth he understands lies behind that mirror, but when presented with it, he cowers-- such a strong body yet fragile will. The nickname "Goliath", pushed deep into his past by his protective mind, will soon catch up to him, but will he face himself or be crushed by the weight of his sins? His one, true fear is losing the company of his only two friends, for if he was without them, he'd likely lose grasp of himself, reverting to these demons of his past. /// "May this game, this gift from god, bring stability to the strife of each player's existence and grant them the freedom to kill or cull to their heart's content, lest they become consumed by that same, blinding freedom."

Penelope Marks is a young, teenage girl living under the wrath of her step-mother, Mary. Bound by chores and work, she had no social life.

Suddenly finding herself free from Mary, Penelope now comes face to face with the real world.

Can Penelope get used to the life of being fostered by the richest family in town? Or will her life fall into shambles before it even has the chance to begin?

Some mysteries don't scream. They don't begin with blood, or end in tears. They just... exist. Like a single school shoe-always the left one-left behind a vending machine every Tuesday. Because not all supernatural beings haunt. Some are simply waiting to be noticed. To be remembered. To be returned to the story they forgot they were part of.

Sometimes, one gets shoes that are tight fitting, some others get oversized and others get fit to size. But where exactly should you fit?

An unconventional love story between Hitomi Kato (29), a shoe saleswoman and Ayumi Reiner (24) shoe designer/heiress.

A story about a little girl who found her real life.
