She was content to live a normal life. But that wasn't how it was destined to be. On her fifteenth birthday, Lyra is recruited to STRIKE - an underground organization that keeps anything deemed unnatural, magical, or otherworldly out of ordinary society. The people here are nearly magical themselves as well: all chosen for strange, special abilities they possess; all nearly immortal; and all strong believers in fate. Almost immediately after arriving at STRIKE headquarters, she is put on a team with two other members: one, a man named Soturi, who is almost always drunk and lives only for battle; and the other, a woman who only goes by "S", who is quite the opposite of Soturi, always cool and collected. There's only one problem with Lyra's new life with STRIKE. Her power hasn't shown itself. Could it be that the powerful organizers of STRIKE have made a grave mistake? *currently being rewritten*

Four different girls. Four different lives. They're all on the same mission: to protect their world from demonic forces who threaten their homeland. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go kill us a demon!" Kasai is fiery and carefree. But she holds a deadly secret - literally - about her katana, and keeping it from her friends won't be easy. "It's disrespectful and uncivilized to disturb someone who is peacefully drinking their tea." Aya is the sensible one; she runs from a life of betrayal and sadness, mix-ups and mistakes. She hides it all in hopes of becoming someone new. But she can never fully hide from the past. "Blueberry muffins!" Yuri is always happy - the jokester of the group. But she is in secret royal trouble her friends don't have a clue about, and has a side no one has seen before hidden deep within her heart. "I will keep my promise." Hikari is new to demonslaying. She . . . isn't Hikari. But they can't know that now. Together they stand as Surieyazu, the most famous and revered demonslayers in all of Sekai. In a fight for humanity, they will need the help of everyone they can get - old masters and new teachers, runaways, nemeses, traitors, and the dead. The Sureiyazu must find their place in the world. An adventure filled with fantasy, fighting, friendship, and love. I hope you enjoy.
