Chapter One - A Fateful Encounter with a Mysterious Girl (Preview)
I was spending my afternoon in a web cafe writing a paper on the first written historical documents and comparing them with ones from this era of human culture when a curious figure sat down at a table across from me. At first I didn't pay much mind, but then I got a good glimpse of her - she was stunning, her eyes glinted like topaz, her hair resembled the Chinese symbol of balance - the ying-yang, and she was writing in a little black book full of aged parchment. The book almost seemed out of place, mostly because every time I look at it, my head started pounding, and because of this, she took notice of me and quickly left the cafe. As she left, I noticed something on the floor, a bookmark, an odd one at that. As soon as I picked it up I began to feel like my head would explode, knowledge of all kinds were flooding my mind, but one thought was atop all of the rest: I needed to find her.
