Inchoate Blood (CRUX I)

In a world of alchemy and imperfect balance, it easy to lose everything you own. Your life, your future, and your strength to believe, all in a matter of seconds. Faith holds no-one's hands.

As one of the youngest arch-alchemists working for the Syndicate, an organization of many European countries with a prime goal to diminish the war-torn continent of crime and wrong-doing, he has seen much of evil with his own eyes, and vowed to eliminate all murderers who pursue godlike powers while the crimson cold blood of innocent victims pool at their feet.

Yet, after the tragic and mysterious loss of his closest friend to death, Cruz is not the same man again. Long ago, he used to fight in chivalry for the true justice of the people, and for the peace of many nations who barely survived for the aftermath of war. But with the dark shadow of his friend's murder falling into his line of vision, and with the discovery of unspoken truths blurring what he thought before was 'justice', there is nothing left for him to believe in but a merciless vengeance to avenge the cold death of his friend. Now sharper, stronger and more deceptive, how far will Cruz go for a once and for all heartless revenge?
