THIS IS PART TWO OF TWO. If you've yet to read through Act One, I suggest you do that first. Most days, you can find Mizuki Nekoyama in Hell, creeping through pitch-black passages, disabling deadly traps, and avoiding even-deadlier monsters. But that's the job of a Scout; highly-trained and extremely-capable individuals willing to brave the Depths in exchange for money, power and prestige. Most often, however, their careers are cut short between heartbeats if they let their guard down for just a single second. For the past five years, Mizuki, or 'Zen', has lived with the guilt that comes with losing her friends and lover inside one of the nation's Dungeons, and has searched far and wide for the person she believes is responsible for their tragic demise. She might be obsessive, compulsive, brutal, and slightly crazed, yet its exactly those traits which will allow her to progress in her mission; track down her quarry; and along the way found an organization capable of bringing entire nations to their knees. (Note: Cover Art ripped from a Google search. Whomever the creator is has an amazing talent, and I hope they go on to do Many Great Things.) DISCLAIMER, in BIG, BOLD LETTERS: This fictional tale deals with topics including, but not limited to: Slavery, Brutal uses of Swords and Magic, Murder, Racism, Sex, LGBT-Q, Political Intrigue, Rape, Torture, Bloody Slaughter, and much, much more. Naturally, there's also a lot of laughter, love, excitement, action, and suspense. Comments and feed-back are always appreciated, as are shares, likes, votes, and other positive reinforcements. Trolls can just slink back under their bridges.

The Tale of Yuuko Tamaya Part One A high-school yuri (girls-love) romance. After the absolute-worst experience of her young-adult life, Yuuko finds herself severely beaten and freezing to death in a small, muddy alley-way, two full prefectures away from the house-of-horrors that she'd grown up in... but it's not long before a guardian angel shows up to save her...

The Tale of Mikoto Hiyama A highschool yuri (girls-love) romance. Mikoto is a timid, book-wormish second-year highschooler living a rather normal, quiet life in Tokyo, alongside her athletically-gifted best-friend Shiori. But things start to change when she discovers an online journal on one of the school-library’s computers. The almost-lyrical descriptions in the posts immediately capture her imagination, and start to lead her down a road of discovery. For a shorter, meek young-woman that has only read about the concept of impassioned affection in dusty old tomes and lurid romance-novels typically reserved for bored housewives, Mikoto finds herself in the middle of her own epic tale; one rife with shattering self-realizations, the agony of heart-break, and the boundless courage that a person can only experience when wholly, and soulfully in love. (CONTENT WARNINGS in big, bold letters!

"It’s shoulders were wide and powerful. At four metres in height, it was almost as large across as it was tall. The arms of the hulking beast hung nearly all the way to the ground, and were thick with rope-like muscles that bulged with even the slightest of movements. With virtually no neck, a squat, squarish head and pig-like nose, it solidified in his mind the fact that this thing was definitely not of this world…" Angeline Deglace, a golden-haired nineteen year-old mage, is a 2nd-class 'Detective' within the 'Order'; a collective of mages that, along with their counterparts in the Knights of Aegis, seek to keep the world safe from the shadows, and free of the threat of Daemon... These vile, disgusting, and massive ogres seek only to wreak havoc by devouring an individual's soul before taking over the fleshy vessle for their own nefarious uses... Angeline, along with her twenty-something amnesiac-companion named 'Samuel', are busy in tracking down criminals on the verge of 'turning'', and slaughter the resultant horrifying behemoths that threaten to destroy their very way of life... Their adventures are difficult, fraught with danger and mystery... and if they want to survive the coming horrors, then they'll have to go through a ritual that binds their very souls together...
