The Normal's Game

"Power; the capacity or ability to direct or influence the behaviour of others." However, more importantly, it is a never-ending game that is played on the chessboard we have all been forcefully placed on.

South Otsher is known for a myriad of names: the city of crime, the sin capital, the missing heart of the red devil, though those names are quite misleading as to what truly happens within the city's borders. A more accurate and fitting name is one that is more chilling for the uninitiated: "The City Where Justice Fails to Touch".

Home of the falsely accused, prison of the innocent souls, those whose lives play out in this city might just be the contents of an unsolved mystery in a near future. Amidst the sea of masked faces lies the vivid image of two silhouettes: one with a pistol and the other on his knees. As the crowd simply strolled past the two figures, and as the trigger to the pistol was pulled; not a single head even turned a shoulder. Hell wouldn't be an undeserving title to call this treacherous snake pit, though the fallen angel here doesn't quite share the same name as the lord of the underworld.
