This is a multimedia webnovel with giant city-crushing monsters, a valiant man who dares to fight them, a hero who loses himself on a righteous path, and a darkness which conceives a profound love. But I suck at descriptions, so I strongly encourage...
"As the demon falls to rest, the fabric of the universe becomes warped in a way that we cannot understand. When the Interfectus falls asleep, it ceases to exist in this world for as long as it remains at rest. It is because of this that they are untraceable and also invulnerable."
Though he could see through his half-open eyes that he traveled westward across south Agrideī, Hatasuko could sense that this voice emanated from the tempest. The voice was ominous and alluring, though also familiar. It was not the voice of Sokaido or Adishina, but it was a voice he had heard once before. His golden eyes glanced at the narrow space between Vaida's hair and the bottom of the sail, but his conscious mind waded through the screaming tempest in search of this voice.
"Who said that? Who are you?" Hatasuko yelled into the storm of souls.
"I can sense the Interfecti's movements because that is the privilege of the damned. Every single one of us in here – every lost soul that was stolen from life by the forces of darkness – we can detect the Interfecti, even as they sleep. It means that we have a unique ability that the living need more than anything, but we cannot communicate. You are our only bridge. You are the only one who can save them. You are the only one strong enough to uphold the weight of the tempest," said the voice of the ominous woman.
"Do you know about the next attack? Please, you have to tell me! This is very important. Countless lives are hanging in the balance," Hatasuko demanded.
"Yes. The Interfectus will not awaken for a few more days, but when it does, it will unleash its attack upon the city of Sentia. Will you protect them?" she asked.
"Of course! Up until now, I thought you somehow understood who I am, but a question like-"
"I know exactly who you are, Hatasuko. I know that you've raced across Agrideī ever since your mother died, desperately trying to save people from the Interfecti. The only thing I don't understand is why. Anyone else would have realized how hopeless this is. Even someone with your same sense of nobility would just become an ordinary rescuer. But I am lodged in your head and surrounded by screaming voices – both their screams and yours. I know you still believe you'll be the one to slay the Interfecti. I just don't know why."
Hatasuko glanced up again and saw the starlit silhouette of buildings on the western horizon. These buildings were on the outskirts of Bones City. Hatasuko knew that Lazaro and Vaida had plans for their day in the city by the sea, and therefore he would have to completely wake up in the coming minutes.

"If the Interfecti are allowed to live, then there will always be misery in this world. There will always be screams, and there will always be pain. It is my dream to create a world without misery, so eventually I will have to wipe them out. I just want to make the world like it was before... before the Interfecti ruined everything," Hatasuko explained.
