The bullet grazed Salem's skin as it whizzed past, shock lingering as his mouth was agape. He should've writhed in pain, falling to his knees in agony, yet he only felt the burning sensation radiating and racking his body with a passionate sense of pain enveloping his laceration with a lack of hesitation. He clenched the wound with haste as he winced, thighs trembling as he let out a shuddered breath.

He felt like crying out in pain, screeching and writhing upon the tiled floors, yet he dispersed the enticing idea as the gun was placed atop his forehead, which was covered in sweat. The weapon sent shivers up his spine as his breath hitched out of fear. He could only predict the words that were going to roll off the man's lips like a spigot.

"If thou shalt not accept, then thou shall be put to death."

Upon coming of the age sixteen, happy-go-lucky Salem is asked to attend a meeting with the council, which just screams bad news. Once he arrives, however, he learns that he must go to the human world to figure out their monstrous way of life. If he declines this mission, he is going to be executed by the admin of the world himself.

Salem decides to agree, leaving his sister behind as a precaution. When he is transferred into the human world, he learns that humans aren't repulsive monsters at all. They were much like Salem's kind.

Yet, what will happen when he is accepted into a detective agency with only one employee? Will Hilda keep his secrets, or will rumors spread throughout the entire world? He gets betrayed, beaten, cheated, burned, and is left with no sympathy. What will he give to survive in this world? What will he sacrifice to be able to return to his sister safe and sound?
