He is the reaper of souls...

He is my moving shadow.

He is the darkness swelling inside me.

He is my black soul.

But he will save me.

Sebastian Michaelis was known for his schemes—he was known as the devil hidden in the night—but he will not show unless he deems you worthy.

A worthy soul.

Even years later, I recalled the night of my parents murder, their blood staining my hands, and how I was hauled away from them by men in a van, and I was tortured for days.

It wasn't until he heard my cry of despair that Sebastian came, and he promised me vengeance on those vile demons, on those who murdered my parents. He told me that all he wanted in return...

Was my soul.

So I signed a contract with him.

I recalled this happening before, because of my English ancestors who were stowed away in the UK; they always warned me from making a deal with the devil.

My parents told me a story of my great grandfather from hundreds of years ago; he who signed a contract with a vile demon in order to get revenge on his parents death.

My great ancestor... Ciel Phantomhive.

I never thought I'd fall in his shoes, but here I was staring into Sebastian's blood-red eyes.

History really repeated itself, didn't it?

I made a deal with the devil,

And I don't regret it one bit.

|ACT II · 18X FEATURED · WORKING ON OFFLINE|

Daniel Matton wasn't ready for an adventure, not until 3023 sent him into space on a journey to prehistoric times. The prehistoric animals test his patience, but Dan must endure all the pain and suffering to return home safely.                                                                                                          ***

Seventeen-year-old Daniel Matton, still grieving after his mother's death five years ago, is given the adventure of a lifetime when he's selected as the Star of 3023's PPMC Project for a journey through a black hole, wormhole, and white hole to prehistoric times. Now, does Dan want to be the Star? Heck no, but he has loved paleontology ever since a bittersweet memory with his mom twelve years earlier.

Programmed to resemble Dan's mother's personality, PPMC vows to keep him safe on his journey, but it's difficult when the stubborn teen constantly gets in trouble, not just with himself but also with prehistoric anomalies: volcanic eruptions, eight-foot-long millipedes, terrifying saber-toothed cats, and, above all, disaster.

Now nearly trapped in time, Dan and PPMC must work together to escape the geologic time scale before Dan's love for paleontology and the mighty Quetzalcoatlus prevent him from learning how to truly trust PPMC and "let go" of the burden that's weighed him down for five years.

A teen, a starship, and Becca...

Have you ever wanted to see where life first began?
