Sheep in Wolves' Clothing
<New chapters postponed until I've created a buffer of chapters again. I'll be updating the existing chapters as I refine them.>
Supernatural beings of yore had all but disappeared as humanity evolved. Humans weren't the only ones who could adapt, however; most cryptids began to change with the destruction of their habitats, much like other animals adjusting to life in the city. Unlike typical animals, these cryptids gradually took on human traits, losing much of their knowledge and abilities with ancient magics along the way. Magic, the miraculous sway of reality, has now been forgotten by most. With each passing generation, that knowledge strays further from grasp. Now, most of the remaining cryptids rely on human technological advances as they remain hidden in plain sight.
While some cryptids strove to survive, others were too prideful to fathom living among humans. These cryptids gradually became extinct, and others were hunted by humans into the cold hands of death. There were a few cryptids who chose to evolve their bodies into human appearances, yet remained isolated to the best of their abilities from society. Werewolves were not these such cryptids, born only through rare births or the equally as rare circumstance that a human is cursed by the chaotic magic that reaches for some sort of hold on the world.
Kona is a werewolf in his mid-twenties, and he detests the life he had been thrown in to. While Kona had found asylum in the arms of the Nisus gang, it didn't come without its own trepidations. Still, Kona endeavored, suppressing his depressive mental health with drugs, women, and violence. Life became a blur of routine, until a rumor began to spread throughout Neo Atlas: a ghost was wandering the earth, and it was crossing through this very city.
But this was no ghost, despite the way unicorns glowed beneath the moonlight.
