After a man is brutally attacked in his cabin by an unknown figure, a cowboy named Phillin. B. Sireal is hired by the man's wife to find the culprit and embarks on a journey to track down and bring the criminal to justice; for a price, of course. He collects some people, steals some horses, and rides off into the dusk for an adventure.
Unbeknownst to him, however, his actions would lead him down a dark road of ruined lives, backstabbing families, the very unnatural phenomenon, and probably even the devil himself...
Perhaps he should have stayed in the bar...

(This story is a work in progress - may not be completed.)
This is a stylized western - not all things will be accurate, however we did try for authenticity.
Everything has been translated to a more familiar English because the previous proof reader read the previous non-translated version and had a stroke and died (May Timmy rest in peace.)

As of now, this version of the story is NOT going be continued and will be left as is. However, I'm currently writing another book where this story will be remastered and fixed with better pacing... and also just better writing all around. It will be mostly the same at the beginning, but it will, in fact be different. I apologise for those who had read the entire thing so far only to be told this.

No Bullets for the Beast
It was supposed to be his last day on the job. Unluckily for Killjoy, this crazed, cannibalistic beast tried to make it his last day on Earth. Killjoy had taken this god-forsaken mission for a little bit extra money before he would quit. He was tired. The middle-aged bounty hunter had etched his name across American mythos after decades of killing, gunslinging, and doing dirty work for one too many fat, greedy pigs. It was easy work, but the man can't get any older after years of doing it. And with a wife at home who he visited only so many times he could them on his one hand, and a daughter whose face he can barely remember year to year, it was time to hang up the boots. But when he is told about one job that could potentially set not only himself and his family for life, but for generations to come, Killjoy decides to screw it and do one last mission. The money he made was good, but not enough to last them. The reward? The deed to a gold mine. And the job? To investigate some desolate woods for missing people. It was as easy as they came. What a load of crap. The second Killjoy stepped foot into those forests, he knew something was not right. Desecrated bodies, the eerily empty mines and woods devoid of any light or humans, and the gnawing hunger that grew in him no matter how much he ate through his rations. Something was not right. And when Killjoy laid his eyes on it, he knew it was either fight or die.Complete
