Life was never very complicated for Ezra--until he lost everything, that is. So when the one thing you want to do is the impossible, what do you do instead? (Apparently neither sex, drugs nor alchohol is the answer, go figure!)
How do you carry on living when life as you know it is lost to you forever? When your reason for living is gone, and you have no purpose in life? How do you find your way in the darkness left behind when the person who lights up your world is gone?
In his pursuit of new meaning to life Ezra finds himself quite lost, and as he tries to escape the darkness of reality a pandemonium of parties, unwanted friendship, kitten-hunts, murder, mayhem, and home-brewery ensues.

My love life gotta be the most shittiest thing in the world, seriously, it's like some old dude in heaven just likes to use my heart as an amusement park. Being a bubbly, sweet, free-spirited soul can be amazing right? Well that's what I thought too, SIKEEEE! when life throws at you all the rotten dark souls sent to consume all your light and greedily suck off all your spark, draining you of every bit of energy and good you come with, while having to cure them...Will you still pick the little of you that's left and piece them back together and not let that change who you are? Or will you end up being a monster, hungry for lustful hearts to fill the once occupied space in that dumb thing you call a heart? A once Enchanting glowing heart, now just a void of emptiness and complete crucifying darkness"
BEYOND: The Nameless Eater
The spirits made manifest by mankind's consciousness seek nothing but tyranny and chaos, possessing humans and corrupting them into monsters. However, those with enough mental fortitude tame these spirits within them and become capable of controlling the powers of these spectral demons. In this Journal that I have salvaged, you'll follow the perspective of the blindfolded Damien Lopez, a boy (Probably) with more going on with him than what meets the eye in his struggle to reclaim the peaceful life robbed from him by the cold whims of fate and discover concepts along the way, such as 'Love', 'Friendship', 'Forgiveness' and most importantly, 'Clobbering the life out of demons'.
