They call themselves freaks. They were all human once, but for many of them their humanity has become a scarce memory, abandoned and forgotten. They walk among us, living together in a society hidden within our own. They care not for our laws and morals, living only by their own rules, designed to protect them from discovery and from each other. But tensions rise as the leader of the freaks in a city begins to violate even the laws of their kind, leading some to question just how far they're willing to let things go.

The Game

8 parts Ongoing

In a struggle between two rival kingdoms, the kings seemingly take center stage. But what unfolds before our eyes isn't always a reflection of the things we do not see. There is another controller who is hidden in plain sight. Everything seems to be going a certain way, until the puppeteer decides to have some fun and make a drastic change. But sometimes, even the puppeteer might be on another person's strings... The struggle for power is a no holds barred affair, but when there is further incentive to this struggle - more than just the desire for power - when love, hate, pride, and a cornucopia of other human emotions decide to join the mix, this age-old struggle for dominance takes an even deadlier, more sinister turn than the one it has. Brother betrays brother and sister plots against sister, all doing what they believe to be right, sometimes acting on their own volition, other times being manipulated without even realizing. Playing "The Game" has many rules, but the most fundamental one is that the rules are constantly changing and constantly punishing those who transgress. The outcome of what will happen when nobles and commoners are stuck in a maze with only one way out is what this story reveals.
