FOR TATSUMAKI-SAMA… LONG MAY YOU REVIEW!!
Maybe it's like something out of those new movies they show these days.
You know the ones – you live a normal life with normal people and normal friends and normal activities and then one morning you wake up and the world seems… different.
The sun still rises and you still do what you normally would – but you have the feeling that something isn't right.
That you're being watched by some unseen eye.
That someone is behind you, even when you turn around and no one is there.
That you aren't alone anymore.
That the shadows are darker.
That something evil lies in their depths.
Then, out of the blue you're offered a choice. Do you take it? That's up to you. You're approached by someone you've never met who tells you that some great and terrible evil is stirring, and that your instincts are right and you're sharing your world with creatures that only exist in your nightmares – creatures that are only being kept under control by sacred guardians that have existed before the dawning of your time.
He tells you that there are a special group of people gifted with strange powers to aid the guardians in their fight, and that you have powers of your own.
Do you believe him? It's not an easy choice to make. You know something is out there, he tells you something is out there, but it just doesn't seem real, and you find yourself weighing your options.
Real or not? Fight or forget? Live free or die painfully?
And like movies, your whole life seems to have built up towards this moment, this choice.
Can you take a step and put your faith in something you can't see or touch? Of course not. That only happens in the movies.
After all, there are no such things as monsters.
