This is a collection of 24 flash fiction stories in a variety of genres.  From horror to action to romance there is something for everyone.

The library was an old three-story building that use to be a factory. It was donated over fifty years ago. And was one of the older building in the area. It had been updated in the last few years with new walls, stairs, and wiring. However, they had kept the worn wood floors and it still had a cool, well-used and comfortable feel to it.

She walked over to the front counter where the librarian, Mrs. Chen, sat working on the computer.

"Hello, Lina. I heard you finally got assigned independent study. It took those kooks up in the English department long enough, heh?"

"You're telling me. I didn't know how many more of those idiots I could take without counseling." She thought about how that could be taken for a moment. "The students, that is, Mrs. Chen."

"Sure. Your class time doesn't start until tomorrow, so I assume you're here for your book."

"It finally came in?!"

She smiled and reached beneath the counter.

"Just this morning. Blood by GRAY."She shook her head but handed her the book. "Sometimes I wonder if I should be worried about you."

Lina laugh. The game and the book was sort of along the same vane but different. The book focuses more on how one could tell if you could make potions in real life. That is if you had blood. The author of the book offer list and guilds on taking a potion from a game and make money.

"Shoo, now," she said, waving her hands. "You're terrible."

She took the book and walked to the back corner of the room where the wide oak stairs led up to the second floor and her special reading spot. She ran her hand up the smooth banister as she walked up, loving the feel of the cool wood. The library had always been a quiet spot she had used to think and relax since she had come to the college three years ago. She used it to get away from all of the whispers and names.

At the top of the stairs, she walked through the maze of books to a dimly lit far corner. The shelves formed a natural hallway that prevented anyone from seeing the corner unless they actually walked through. It held a large beige chair big enough for two and a standing light next to it. She never worried about anyone being there because the idiots on campus barely walked through the reference books on the first floor, let alone the second floor where most of the romance, fiction, mystery, horror, fantasy, and science fiction books were held.

She set her bag on the floor beside the chair and plopped down, pulling her legs up under her. She didn't need the light yet, so she opened her new book and began reading.

Ignited by passion and despise, the 28 year old Alexandra Lewisville was caught in a most embarrassing mistake with the city's most eligible bachelor Skyler Penicillin. 

Skyler was trying to get over from his psychotic, manipulative and gold digging ex. But his ex tried seducing him at the bar. Upon making a lie, he spotted a woman who's getting herself wasted. He grabbed her and told her to ride along, and even proposed to her as he claimed her as his fiancée.

Alexandra on the other hand was pursued and pressured by his grandfather to get married. She doesn't know where to look for a husband who'll meet her standards. Luckily she took the opportunity when a man laid it out to grab.

The next morning they caught themselves signing a contract for marriage. However Skyler never thought that the woman is his best friend's little sister. Who has been recommended to date him for the past 12 years, but he avoided thoroughly because of her once nerdy appearance.

"How did you become someone who's hotness drive people crazy? You're addictive" Skyler murmured

"You're just blind" Alexandra whispered back while she pinched his cheeks

---

How will the two work on a lie that Skyler created as an escape from his psychotic ex? Will they be in a hopeless romantic fake relationship? or will they deny the fact that they're falling?

Romance is a very popular genre in Webnovels. The first thing that come to mind when we talk about romance are the CEO novels. Even though we don't want to admit it, they are the mainstream romance stories in the Webnovel website. 

So why do people love romance stories? I hope you find the answer while reading this chapter.

----------------------------------

FattyBai: No worries, was just a bit curious. It's always amazing seeing how the Romance genre basically dominates the site.

Parasection: and CEO stories.

FattyBai: So I was sort of curious what the demographics on the reader's sex were. But yeah, it's a fair assumption to say that the ladies rule the site, lol

WWFire: Readers gender stats r ambiguous, it is manipulatable after all.

FattyBai: Unless there's this hidden group of guys who have been starving for CEO romance novels (which would actually be funny).

Parasection: But the sacred texts.

WWFire: All I see are genderless alien. *derp emoticon*

reinesse ♥: kek.

FattyBai: How do we pull in the female readers in if we can't write a romance story? *cry emoticon*

Parasection: No choice but to write yaoi then.

WWFire: We who read these kind of fantasy novels don't live our lives correctly pal.

CailinMatthews: *ghost hug emoticon*

Parasection: Give in to the demons.

WWFire: That's why we escape reality sometimes. 

FattyBai: It's like being offered a big cake and unable to take a slice.

Zehell2218: I think male reader have their own chance and market.

FattyBai: For sure, but it'd be nice to tap into both sides.

Zehell2218: @FattyBai I think I'll make fantasy romance so I can attract both.

FattyBai: I mean, it's not a bad idea, but how do you split it up? 50% romance/50% dragon ball z?


Parasection: The fuq that sounds like an abomination.

FattyBai: It does.

Zehell2218: @FattyBai No it's 80% romance 20% action. *joy emoticon*

Noveljunky: Besides Romance, what else do females like to read?

Parasection: BL, yaoi, drama.

Zehell2218: Still BL is romance.

Anjeeriku: horror lol.

reinesse ♥: @Noveljunky xianxia I think.

Noveljunky: Mmm.

Zenith: Well, need too write romance...kek

Zehell2218: Do female reader like to read apocalypse novel? Quick question since I will make fantasy romance in apocalypse.

[A/N: Sis, did you forget that you're a girl too?]

Totally Not Nano: nah oof.

FattyBai: @Zehell2218 Aww, man. But then you have to develop characters and write meaningful dialogue.

Zenith: I am probably gonna f*ck up my time trying to make a romance story.

FattyBai: We like blowing stuff up and fighting baddies.

Zehell2218: cmon it will be comedy. *laugh emoticon*

Parasection: The best thing in a novel is character development humor and action romance can be on the side.

Anjeeriku: Romance can be a great sub genre.

Parasection: how does one even write romance? I don't know where to begin with that genre.

FattyBai: I'm a simple guy, I see plot and I drown it in martial arts and manly stuff. Of course, I don't know what feelings are. Can you eat them to increase your cultivation base? *think smart emoticon*

Parasection: I've never experienced romance so i'd fail the moment i'd attempt a story like that.

Zehell2218: Actually, I like to write fighting scene but without romance my reader will kill me. So...yeah I tag it as romance! *joy emoticon*

Parasection: Fight scenes are fun to write.

FattyBai: I'm trying to break through into the "Immortal lonely sperg" phase~

Zehell2218: Very sloooooowww romance.

Anjeeriku: Please no abusive ML @Zehell2218 They're disgusting. idk why women like to read them.

Zehell2218: @Anjeeriku I don't know if girls who read xianxia will read apocalypse novel too.

reinesse ♥: I wanna write a novel like it's not easy to be a man after traveling to the future.

Zehell2218: @Anjeeriku No I won't make abusive ML. @reinesse ♥ same *joy emoticon*

Totally Not Nano: @Anjeeriku *cough* TBWWM *cough*

reinesse ♥: And an actual xianxia novel with reasonable characters.

Zehell2218: But without the romance it's bland.

reinesse ♥: Like characters, especially main character who knows how to adjust because extreme pride is not good.

FattyBai: @Zehell2218 Baby Dragon Truer words have not been spoken, and that scares me.

reinesse ♥: Some villains are really brainless. they can scheme, but they don't have a reasonable reason to do so

Zenith: Kek.

Zehell2218: @Zenith gramps I have idea for fantasy romance lemme tell you after I finish writing and see if it's interesting or not.

Zenith: Get the MC u desire! Yeah @Zehell2218 

FattyBai: I fear becoming a more wholesome and fleshed out human being. Please no development.

Zehell2218: @Zenith It's ok. Just want to see if people will find this good or not. *joy emoticon*

Totally Not Nano: I think there's a formula in getting famous as a writer.

[A/N: Oh? Such formula exist? Teach me Senpai!]

Totally Not Nano: Let's debate about it. *thinking emoticon*

Parasection: The formula is write romance and you're set.

Totally Not Nano: Any genre + xxxxxxx = top 1.

[A/N: Today… I lost faith in humanity.]

Noveljunky: If you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back.

Moonbirth: Write a lot. Write everyday. Post a lot everyday... write about what readers want to read about.

Anjeeriku: Write a lot. be a slave. Lol

Elyon knew that "Romance" is not his strong point. He writes a fantasy story with romance, but he can't tell if the romance will be able to attract female readers. Out of curiosity, he asked some of his fellow authors the question "Why do you read romance stories?"

Here are their answers…

Kyosei: Because I am single. 

Reili: To fill my empty void of a love life.

Minrei: Because romance let you feel what is to be loved, plus it is universal you dont need to learn magic or cultivation in order to read.

Bajj: Due to lack of romance irl.

Murakami: I read because I enjoy the friction and conflict between the FL and ML. The insistence vs resistance is naisu.

Qin: I reads romance only for ideas and info.

VlassisBehrakis: I don't read romance novels.

[A/N: Oof I asked the wrong person.]

Elyon then  ̶a̶m̶b̶u̶s̶h̶e̶d̶ asked some readers about their opinion about romance novels.

Yin: I read romance novels because I want that kind of drama to happen to me in real life. But I know it will never happen haha.

A Certain Irresistible Meowlin: I wonder why? And I do read romance novels. Though the chance of me dropping them is also the highest out of all the genres. Every so often I come across a scene that makes me just want to squeal and fangirl. 

----------------------------------

Elyon decided to dig deeper and asked a few of his senior "romance authors" some questions about their reason for writing romance stories.

The first question is… Why did you choose to write Romance Stories?

Anjeeriku: I'm comfortable writing romance stories compared to other genres. I'm a helpless romantic person and I like novels that can invoke other people's feelings.

Bajj: First of all, I like reading romance story. It was the reason why I read books before and reading other genres comes after. All in all, due to these romance fiction books, I got the opportunity to read more great books with different genre.

MishaK: That's what I read, so write that too.

Zehell2218: Because as reader, I want to read romance novel so when I write, I write romance since my motto is I write what I want to read.

Ikazainudin: The easiest genre. Everyone can relate.

End_of_Era: It wasn't a full on Romance, it was slice of life with romance which I feel was necessary with progression of the characters.

----------------------------------


The second question… When you were making your ML and FL, did you imagine yourself as the lead of your story at any given point in time?

Anjeeriku: I would be a liar if I said no. There were instances that I'd put myself in my FL's shoes. Whenever that happens, my writing feels more passionate and truthful that sometimes it was hard to know where my fl starts and where I end. 

Shen Yi, LMD's ML was based on a person I've lost, The One That Got Away so it was sometimes hard not to self-insert whenever there were scenes that need to invoke feelings from readers. 

Bajj: I believe that every character the author was making and breathing life into it, a part of him/her is added to its character. But me imagining of being the ML/FL, never. I'm too pure for that. Kek

MishaK: Yes I did but sometimes. Otherwise you can't infuse emotions in your characters. It is important to understand your characters.

Zehell2218: Yes, I imagine myself as the lead. Of course, I tweak it a bit, such as in age and appearance. But mostly, the characteristics is similar to me.

Ikazainudin: FL and ML character based on what I want to be irl. Yup. I imagine that will be my love story.

End_of_Era: Yes, my leads had some ocassional self insertion.

----------------------------------

The third question… If you were to choose some other genre aside from romance, what would you pick?

Anjeeriku: Fantasy. I always look up to those authors who can write fantasy stories/novels well. I believe writing a fantasy novel is harder than writing romance. 

[A/N: Ahem! 10 points to Griffindor!]

Bajj: Horror/thriller/Action. Read GGGB godamnit! [Good Girl Gone Bad]

MishaK: I am writing a Fantasy romance aside from regular vanilla romance *smile emoticon*

Zehell2218: Fantasy, magical realism, fan fiction.

Ikazainudin: Psychological/horror and maybe children story.

End_of_Era: The new genre I'm writing is fantasy/violent .

----------------------------------


The fourth and final question… If you were to give a message to your beloved readers, what would it be?

Anjeeriku: I'm sorry for not being inconsistent with updates. Y'all know I love you, but a little consideration and patience as I face this rough patch in my life would be very much appreciated.

Bajj: Vote me please :* mass release comes after, deal?

[A/N: Oof!]

MishaK: Be responsible in reviewing the book you are reading. Authors love to listen from their readers. So talk to them.

Zehell2218: Beloved reader, your author here is working hard to provide your daily dose so pliz pretty pliz, read my chapter using paid SS since I don't get even a penny for free SS. 

Tips: use free SS on translation novel. The translator still get money and use paid SS on original novel so we can get a bit money to continue living *wink*

Ikazainudin: I want readers to know, that love, hope and miracles exist. Be open and value each moment of your life like the MC's did.


----------------------------------

Author's Thoughts

Hello Guys! I hope you enjoyed this chapter of WWCG. Personally, I've read a few CEO novels myself. I also read some FL stories like A Slight Smile Is Devastating (Love O2O), Hidden Marriage, Doomed to be Cannon Fodder, Transmigrator meets Reincarnator, A Mistaken Marriage Match: A Generation of Military Counselor, There Is an Angel in That Church (short story), Eight Treasures Trousseau, Grabbing Your Hand, Dragging you Away, A Mistaken Marriage Match: Record of Washed Grievances…

Ai~ there's a few more that I won't add to the list because it will create a wall of text. Well anyways, the reason why I read these stories is to get an idea on "WHY" the ladies love to read them.

Let's just say that it's a unique way to see a world in the eye of a lady (if you are a man of course). When done properly, the execution of the story can capture the hearts of anyone, even male readers. I believe that no matter what gender you are, as long as you find the story interesting then it doesn't matter whether you are a guy or a gal no?

Perhaps, when I'm not too busy to write my stories, I'll once again pick a romance novel to read. Hopefully, I will find another hidden gem that will bring unexpected surprises to anyone who are lucky enough to find them.

P.S I would like to thank my fellow authors, especially my senior romance authors who answered some of my questions regarding romance novels. 

To my senior authors, May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the Power Stones shine warm upon your face, and Spirit Stones fall soft upon your fields. (￣▽￣)ノ

P.S The Cover Drawing is not mine. I just find it nice so I used it. Full credits go to the owner.

Morning was cold, and was always cold. He had somehow amalgamated with his blanket, as he snuggled up to it, feeling like his clothing on his bare body inside.The howling gale outside the window was the scariest at dawn, till the sun rose and warmed the city, he was much able to get out of his "cave". It was preciously his weekend, thus it would be reasonable to slack on the-

Beep. 
It came from the desk nearby.
Beep. Beep.
And he hopped off the bed.
His body wobbled.

The sudden vibration on my phone was always more exciting than anything else. Seeing the notification popping on the screen was as satisfying as seeing a slice of black forest sitting on the plate in obedience. Both of them signified hope, potential, an upcoming joy.

A feast to behold.

The messages came knocking on my place occasionally, like truly a once-in-a-blue moon. I must admit, I was not the outstanding celeb in the group for I did not have rows and rows of notifications obstructing my lovely wallpaper on the lock screen, I too did not have a red spot with growing numerical figures on the top right corner of the application. I know my policy, I always open them immediately upon arrival, since these messages were like wrapped gifts left at my doorstep after a gentle knock on the door reminding me that there was a surprise. So I, like most of the unboxing Vloggers online, coveted the entire process from claiming, unwrapping, playing to discarding. One by one. 

It was so exciting that it almost feels like Christmas.

They had hardly come in flocks for me however - depressing but reasonable. I was never in a position to bargain or whatsoever. My stakes were solely silence and an abundance of feelings, all sealed airtight inside a leaking soul. I was also forgiving, with a thinking vast like the sea, deep and profound like the sea. It felt like I could accept almost everything, yet I was just an overlooked individual on the Nearby list. Well, you could just imagine a poorly wrapped present with fantastic contents inside.

Alright, enough talking, I should start looking at my messages now. 
Here goes nothing!
Hmm?
…
… …
Never mind.
It was notification of some news I don't really care. 
Whether if some men died brutally, I muted the Tweet.

I sprang off my bed with my phone slid back into my pocket. It was the switch where I turned off my excitement when part of my routine of waiting for something to happen ended up with nothing happened as usual. Sometimes I was told to make something happen instead, but I would not want to be accused of being aggressive since proactivity, initiative, impatience, neediness, whatever one may call it would be presumed as a kind of aggression today. Don't ask me why. That was what I saw. Hence, I would stay quiet and I would be protected. 

Secrecy is the best policy. 

The room was dimly lit. I should pull the curtains away and let the sun shine through the window. But it was a cloudy day. "Oh well." Mumbled me as I closed up the curtain again and retreated to the living room. A pressure was set upon my knee, as the stack of books collapsed along with the boxes on them. I must admit I was a little clumsy and I sometimes would trip on something, the books for instance. I did have a rack, which had been fully occupied by the senior citizens of the book world however. Well, the new members should always show tolerance and respect towards elderly by letting out the best corner of the comfort zone - exactly as what I was taught in school, the ultimate rule of courtesy. Anyway, my room was not airy to begin with. It was fortunate nevertheless, as I would not feel lonely with friends of these many awaiting my return in the room daily. I stacked the books and boxes back exactly how they were. The back was cramping from the weight it got to withstand. I got back from the realm as the phone vibrated again, several times in a roll. The door squeaked as I opened it slowly. I peeked through the gap.

Father was taking a rest on the couch. Mother was not home yet it seemed… Luckily I did not slam the door open, it was tempting to do but painful to bear. Father never fancied these "rash" behaviors he called. I walked straight to the outside. I walked down the long and winding stairs, as I took the chance to have a glimpse at the graffiti on the wall. It was the codex between me and partners, where within those patches of bold colorfulness there would be a corner of scribbles containing messages. Well, in today's world we could have created a secret group and talked as irresponsibly as we wished there. But what's the fun of it? We do enjoy the full privacy ever since the new Data Protection Act was enforced. Adults would never find out the exchanges we made online. But again, what's the fun of it? 

My phone vibrated again. 
Strange, it was beyond my usual amount of messages daily. 
Had I ascended as a socialite?
If I had, when? And how?

…

Leaned against the fence, I glanced at the incoming messages. Instantly I replied each and everyone patiently. Yes, including those without a picture, with an empty profile, sending those unsolicited hollow regards. These mysterious men could be a surprise once in a while, like who knows? They were the discreet. And they never disappointed me. They could be gorgeous, they could be cute, like shy-cute. They are fun to talk to, especially when you have gained their trust, making them reveal themselves gradually, it felt as if their coat of armor fell off pieces by pieces, eventually stripping them naked. How exciting. They are also easygoing. They are easy to deal with. So I understand, considering how there are a handful of shy people in the society. There should be also a handful of shrinking violets in confusion on the app as well. I was one of them in fact. When you let the cat out of the bag, it would be letting the cataclysm out of Pandora's box. It should be a secret that no one should know, no matter how modernized the society had transformed into. 

It is and always would be my deepest, darkest little secret. 

With my thoughts running exceptionally smooth today, the conversation went unexpectedly well. The other person surprisingly remained interested. Good, I could already smell love in the air. We exchanged pictures. And as I have mentioned before, the faceless profiles always hide a surprise at the back. The person looked as kind as he behaved. Oh the ingenuousness, it was extra alluring to me. I swear I could already taste the straightness even from the phone. I would love to fondle his beard and salivate at the pheromone wafted throughout his body. I was so electrified that I uncontrollably made a few skips on the pavement as I sauntered. The cafe owner at the window must be wondering what had gone wrong with me. Well I frequented his cafe, I think he cares, doesn't he? 

The words the person uttered were chivalrous. I could feel his lips caressing my knuckle. What a lovely man. I was utterly intoxicated by each of his messages. He seemed educated and had apparently perused the beauty of literature, both fiction and non-fiction, of a variety of advanced genres ranging from the post-apocalyptic sci-fi, dystopia fantasy to horror melodrama. He also had a great taste in music. He would hum Joker Face or A Plausible when he was doing gym; Die to Live or With You when he was in a cafe and Bedroom Carols as he strolled the street, like me! His alarm tone was seemingly Mille Raisons. I was so amazed by his fandom. It was one-of-a-kind, I complimented. To top it all, he was merely a few miles away - not too far for yearning and not too close for clinging. 

Just like most of the guys I had come across.

A well-educated man shone bright like a knight in shiny armor coming off from his trusty steed and approached a nobody like me. A man such kind was rare, you could only find a few tens of them in the proximity of few miles on the app. Of course it had boiled to a situation where an "I do" could escape from my quivering lips anytime. Oh and he said he loved puppies too! Such a coincidence! Oh wait, the person I met before also posted a picture of him hugging his pet puppy.Looked like a lot of our kinds had a soft spot for animals! Most of them expressed the virtue through the pictures in their profile to find companion! We should totally make an animal-loving club after this.

Anything could be possible as long as I have him by my side. Nothing else was important. I stirred the abandoned coffee on my table after sending the key message to him. Yes, I asked him out. I said I just so happened to pass a cafe that I had never been to before nearby. I wanted to share my latest discovery of a great spot so I would like to ask him over. 

As known from a gentleman like him, it was a prompt "yes". 

I was so tensed that my fingers trembled even when I touched the photo of his face on my screen. How perfect. We would have a discussion on the latest album by our favorite singer in common, then maybe we could talk about some of the latest literature works. I had planned everything next in my mind. We would be heading to his place and then we would talk with our heart out. Certainly you could not express everything comfortably in an occupied cafe. A secluded place like home would be perfect for both of us alone. Yes, yes, yes. I think he had a thing for me, that's why he bothered to take on this date!


There he is!

"Hi." 
"Umm… Hi." I looked away as I greeted him, shaking his hands from the seat.
He froze for a second.
"Are... you..."
I looked at him.
He turned out to be one senior from my course...
The one I respected a lot... 
Like he always manages to give amazing insight during discussion... 
"From our course?"
I nodded my head.
"Great."
Smiled he as he sat down.
"I never expected you to be one."
"Well, yeah, I'm a bit discreet for this…" 
His fingers twiddled his shirt.
 
It should be alright.
It would be alright.
A year later today should be our anniversary. 
My optimism ran high.

It's a collection of lovely fairytale, of hopes and dreams, butterflies and prince. 

A fantastic town of stories for both children and adults. 
;-)

Entertaining yet inspiring, has a lesson told in kindergarten style. 

Surely naive and cute.

Happily Ever After.

I am really, really sorry, my dear readers. Even though I have just started this novel along with a few other ones, I will be unable to update for a few months. My entrance exams will be coming up soon and I want to concentrate on them. 

Here is a list of the novels that will not be updated until May 2019.

1) Meh.(completed.)
2) Pardah.(Romance fiction)
3) Smiley Face (Horror/Fantasy)
4) Odd One Out.  (There might be a few surprise chapters when I am free during these few months. Do keep an eye out for them)
5) Short and Sweet. I Love Marshmallows. (Fantasy)

Unfortunately, none of the above books have reached the 50 chapters milestone. But that is probably a good thing since most of you all haven't really gotten into it yet so you most probably won't miss it too much. *drawing circles in corner sobbing*

Recently, I have been unable to cope up with the syllabus due to being too distracted and I am deeply concerned.

Please wish me luck!
Thank you.

The darkness is soothing. I really want to sleep. Why do I have to write this synopsis?
Should I obliterate it all?
Nah. I'll just sit here. They'll die on their own.

Don't mind me. I'm just an adorable little baby right now. Move on.

Wait! Read this first. Or we could play a game too! It's called 'Read or die!'

So finally volume two is finished and now it is time for a new theme and new characters to come. I wanted to do this idea for quite some time now. What I am talking about is the theme of Modern Horror. 
This volume is going to concentrate on the fears and anxieties that come with living in this fast and technological advanced era. This era that is characterized by a urban lifestyle. 
The place, where the stories of this volume will be located, is Leipzig. This is another aspect of this volume that I am personally hyped for. Leipzig is a city I have personally been to and I can say I love it. I figured the best place for me to describe realistic Horror experiences is a City I myself experienced. To introduce you to the city, Leipzig is located in East Germany with a population of around 600.000 people. It has evolved from a small trade city in the medieval times to one of the fastest growing cities of Germany (10th biggest at the moment). It has many cultural highlights and a wide variety of different districts that are unique in their own way and give a fantastic stage for some good stories. 
What fears or topics are going to be the centre of this Volume? The topics are going to be the unique experiences only the modern days make possible. Following that, there are not going to be any general fears that are independent from time and age. Every Story is going to focus especially on the characteristic that differentiates today from the past or future. No Science-fiction and no history.  Realism is what I am trying to strive for in this volume. A task that is not easy accomplished, especially within the horror genre. Humans tend to reject any ideas that would induce fear and label them as fictional, not because they are, but because this is a natural defends mechanism of human nature. I am going to try breaking that border between reality and fiction. I want my readers to look over their shoulder while reading this, because they heard something. I want to stimulate the corner of one's mind with this chapter. Of course this is not going to be easy and I am not going to say that I will definitely accomplish it, but I have to try at least.

Each chapter is independent, but each Volume has its own tale. The first Tale is about a Daemon, hungry for souls and a soul that struggles against him.
