Stella thought exploring Sayama Forest would be a fun adventure, a chance to uncover its secrets and mysteries. But the deeper she ventures, the more she realizes she’s in way over her head—though not for the reasons she expected.

In a world teeming with strange, monstrous creatures, Stella must learn to survive and thrive. Along the way, she encounters everything from loyal canines to eccentric superhero-types, and even a snake-fox hybrid with a flair for drama.

But danger lurks around every corner, and Stella’s journey is far from easy.
