When Kayse is offered freedom -- an escape from the confines of exile in return for her soul -- she eagerly accepts. In return for her loyal servitude to her mentor, Roxanne, she is equipped with power and knowledge beyond all human measure. Despite Roxanne's eccentric nature, everything goes smoothly until the day Kayse is ordered to use her powers to get information about the town's hermit: a troubled composer named Rafael. Strange, cloaked men haunt the shadows after years of silence, directly interested in Rafael and his music, and Roxanne wants to know why. Kayse is sent off with an order: do not come back until you know what the men are after. Only, things begin to go very awry. Kayse soon finds herself in the middle of things, wrapped up in a power-hungry war between the cloaked men and Roxanne. Both want Rafael's haunting compositions, and the more Kayse pries for information, the more she realizes their very lives might be at risk . . . and that the price for the freedom she sought wasn't worth being paid, after all.

Devil of the Red Abyss (Hiatus)
Abandoned at birth, Issei Hyoudou's life began in the cold stone walls of a quiet church-a sanctuary that would not last. When fire devours everything he knows, seven-year-old Issei is cast into a merciless world, alone and freezing, until fate delivers him to a man named Renji Naberius... and two mysterious girls, Kuroka and Shirone. But safety is an illusion. Renji is no ordinary guardian-he is a Devil, and he offers Issei a choice: obey, or those he cares about will pay the price. Thrust into a world of dark experiments and forbidden power, Issei becomes the subject of a brutal procedure: his heart replaced with the SSS-Class artifact, Blood of Entropy. Pain beyond imagination, limbs torn and rebuilt, humanity tested and fractured-Issei's survival depends on one thing: protecting the only family he has left. As his body adapts, merging with the artifact, Issei discovers his own terrifying potential-a Super Devil with ten wings, an unstoppable force, and a bloodline of power that could tip the balance of life and death. But the price of power is high: his humanity fades, obsession with his dependents deepens, and the line between protector and monster blurs.
