The basis of life is truly black and white, such is good and evil, yet it is the struggle to define the steps for the right path that makes life gray.
Out of your heart flows the issues of life and in your heart lie the deepest wounds that pierce the soul. Death, remorse, murder, and betrayal: these are some of the many afflictions that torment Emanuel, Hajime, Tau, and Ezekiel. These four young boys have lived most of their lives in solitude and self-exile until they were called to be students at the Elohim Academy. Their military captain and teacher, Titus Peterson, understands their pain all too well and attempts to mend their broken hearts and open wounds. As he helps them conquer their personal demons, he quickly finds that this is the least of their problems. A sinister darkness is lurking in the shadows that targets anyone and everything in its path, including the Elohim students. Their past, fears, dreams, and lives will all be challenged as the enemy draws closer. It is such a threat that it catches the attention of the Five Great Military Nations: United States, Russia, China, Japan, and the United Nations of Africa. These five nations must cooperate to defend against this foe as they have done many times before. However, this time, the wickedness that roams the darkness will soon cast its shadow over the world and death hides among its cloak of secrets... revealing that this is only the Genesis.
As Preye walked down the hall, she felt the stares of her classmates, like a heavy weight pressing down on her.
She felt trapped under their gaze, unable to escape the scrutiny of their eyes. She couldn't understand the reason for their stares, couldn't fathom what they were thinking, and that uncertainty made her even more anxious.
Preye stood there, frozen in uncertainty, when suddenly she felt a warm embrace from behind.
A familiar voice whispered in her ear,
'Is he really gone?'
The voice breaking with grief and anguish.

Love. Pain. Laughter. Sorrow
Ani, an exuberant guy, whose outward deamenor brightening the life of others is trapped in his inner turmoil. He was a beacon of light in the darkness, but the flame within him flickered and dimmed.
His words a salve for broken souls, yet his own heart remained a tangle of shadows.
The world clamors for his attention, yet he is a stranger in his own life, an outcast in his own mind, a solitary figure, adrift in a sea of noise.
Could this be a curse from above, a divine decree? Or the fruit of his own misdeeds, the wages of his sins.
