Farmer is a pirate with a dark past. Initially, he did not want to leave his little fishing hamlet but the request of a beautiful young maiden could bring him close to breaking the curse that binds him as well as give him an opportunity to exact revenge on those who took everything from him. "The one born from the blood moon; the one who cannot die too soon. The one whose fate was a cursed dying breath; the one whose hand brings naught but death. The one whose blood and soul are tainted; the one whose death has not been fated…" Farmer is a powerful warrior. Such is his strength, that its depths are not easily fathomed. But he had to pay a heavy price for his power, and now that price is one that burdens him. Maybe it is his next voyage that will free him from his sins and allow him to roam the land once more. This story brings elements from both dark and eastern fantasy together in an effort to fuse the best elements of both worlds. My chapters are all between 2500-3000 words long. Sometimes more or less depending on the story itself or just my general feeling of laziness :)

There awaits many adventures for the good Detective-Doctor.
