In a world where monsters take over, untransformed humans struggle to survive, they try not to fall and lose their humanity. With the burden on your shoulders, you create a home for the wandering children, a place people call『The Shelter』. After Zera's death, you have become a cold, negative person. STASA is very concerned about your mental health, that's why she goes out of her way to help. • ⚠︎︎ This is a PREQUEL to "Hell Bent", everything that happens in this work is related to "Hell Bent". You need to read "Hell Bent" to understand most of this book. In this work there are a lot of spoilers, of course! So I hope everyone will think carefully before reading this story. ꕥ Names Of The Characters: - Ami (The Girl In The Yellow Raincoat). - Gregory Maynard (The Ghost Kid). - Toddler (The Bandaged Kid). - Chubb (The Fat Kid). - Ginger (The Girl With Pigtails). - Scarlett (The Kid In A Red Scarf). ♥︎ Relationships: - Mono x Reader x The Thin Man〔Unrequited Love〕. - Ami x Reader〔???〕. - Gregory x Reader〔???〕. ︎• In this work, MC is a very different person from MC in "Hell Bent". They have just gone through some trauma so they will behave very differently. ⚤ MC (reader) are Gender-Neutral. Readers will be referred to as "they/them" in the third person. The characters all treat each other as friends/family or Platonic relationship (except Mono has romantic feelings for MC). MC will be referred to as "(______)" in the third person. ➪ The characters belong to Tarsier Studios and Bandai Namco Entertainment, except for some of my OCs (the monsters). The theories and AU in the story are all my own. ✍︎︎ English is not my native language, my English is quite poor, so I hope everyone can understand (and give me suggestions for correction) if I have made any mistakes ( ꒦ິ⌓꒦ີ) • Artist's X: @Ylkong2All Rights Reserved
