When their war reached its climax, Xiaofeng was laid low by the head of the alliance, Qiao Lun, and fell into the ravenous gorge never to be seen again.

On the sector of Dramurr Hags and witches thrive. There was a time long ago when they instead cowered in fear. A man known as the Witch Stalker hunted them.

The Star Slayer's first kill was as a little girl when she stumbled across the sleeping body of the silver lancer. She unsheathed his blade and plunged it into his back. Since then she's been obsessed with the sound of steel encased in flesh.

The Star Slayer is the culmination of multiple killers desire for murder. If she was once living, she is no longer. How could a living person be so cruel?

The Star Slayer lives by a code of honor. She only hunts prey worthy of her blade. She will defend and protect anyone too weak to kill.

A request is posted. It lists: Wanted- Tailored Wedding Dress. I am getting married and my wife needs a dress. As a tailor myself, I could make it myself, but I would have to see it before the wedding. Unfortunately, my standards are too high for anyone else to make it and I can't find a proper tailor to make it for me. Please find a proper tailor to craft me this dress and deliver it to the sixth layer of the nine hells. PAYMENT: twice the cost of the dress.
