[Book 1 of Excelium] Written in TAGLISH As they say, what matters most in life is not the beginning nor the closing, it's the middle part of the plot that you construct yourself. Get your dream job, have good friends and acquaintances, fall in love with the partner you chose by heart, build a house for your family, and eventually pass on without leaving any underlying regrets. However, do you believe she heeds such idealism? After being transported to a different world that seems far from reality, an unknown desire sprouted within that she badly wants to satisfy. The copper tang of blood she's been familiarized to, that deep red liquid trickling down to the very tip of her blade, and her majestic figure made her who she is. Fear is said to be common whenever you witness how that ever eerie mysterious eyes gaze like none other. She is history itself that no one wanted to remember.
