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...
"Hey, Vaida, did you say something?" Hatasuko muttered sleepily.
Hatasuko opened his tired eyes and glanced around the upstairs room. The flickering candles lightly interrupted the darkness. Vaida slept peacefully beside him with her face pressed against his side, and her little hands clung onto his chest. He glanced around for a moment to search for the sound that pulled him from his sleep, but everything inside the room was quiet. However, he heard several shouts and voices from the street outside the inn. It seemed like a strange time for people to be outside and hollering.
"The tempest is restless like never before. The lost souls are furiously pronouncing their pain. These screams are deafening. Why are they screaming now? Why do I hear them?" Hatasuko groaned, knowing that he would not fall back asleep.
Suddenly, the entire room shook from a citywide tremor. A clamorous roar boomed from elsewhere in Bones City; it was certainly the sound of shadow spheres detonating. The massive tremor extinguished the candles. Vaida was startled from her sleep and jumped onto her feet, and then she fell to the floor when she heard a distant explosion.
"It's here! This can't be a coincidence. The Interfectus is chasing us," Hatasuko said quickly as he threw himself off the mattress.
The adrenaline rush provided Hatasuko and Vaida with enough energy to prepare for battle. They both equipped their whips, rocks, shields, and swords. After opening the window and peering through it, he saw that the transparent layer of blackness had already eclipsed the stars. The avatar of all anguish stood behind a curtain of glowing smoke; Hatasuko could see its golden eyes pierce the darkness. The Interfectus then lifted its massive foot and slammed it down upon the block beneath it. Smoke and wreckage flew off like a cloud around its leg. Hatasuko prepared to jump out of the window and into the street, but then Vaida clung onto his left arm.

Before the city stopped shaking from the impact, Vaida whispered, "I thought that the memories were locked in my nightmares, but I forgot who my enemy is. The Interfectus is a nightmare's incarnate, and so it gives life only to pain."
"Bones City will not fall; we will make sure of that. Are you ready?"
Vaida nodded. Still clinging to his arm, Vaida lifted her feet off the ground. Hatasuko jumped through the open window, slammed his feet onto the dirt street below, and then took off running toward the demon of flashing blades and shifting shadows. Through the cloud of dust and smoke, Hatasuko and Vaida ran hand-in-hand toward the Interfectus.
"Forsaken! We're forsaken! God can see us, but he will not save us! The Interfectus is here by divine decree!" announced a man from the roof of a building ahead.
In the blink of an eye, the shadow claw of the Interfectus tore through this man's body with a quintuple splash of blood. The demon lifted its victim high into the air, spread its dagger fingers, and tore him to shreds in a matter of milliseconds. The evacuating citizens screamed as they saw this execution, but screams turned to shouts when the shadow claw transformed into a blade of shadows.
