The inhabitants of Nega-State were the greatest threat to Herman and his allies. Yet they did not start out that way. This territory had a very strange beginning: it was created when a group of monks found a mysterious crystal in their monastery. That crystal slowly transformed the nearby city, the surrounding countryside and the people who lived there.
Among those facing this calamity are the monks of the monastery, the Liaison Officer, Stranger, Maurice the bouncer, the Old Woman, Brother Joy and many others.
This novella is a series of vignettes and interconnected stories that chronicle the transformation of the city and the rise of Nega-State.
