Help Me...Oh My God, Help Me!" These are the words of the mysterious figure the city of Hollowvale calls the "Nocturn". What they do know is that he flies over the city every night, saving lives and fighting monsters. What they don't know is that in the day, he is Coleman Conner Smith, a man cursed with hideous wings which burst from his arms every time the sun goes down. Finding no other alternative, Coleman uses his condition to protect the innocent and wage war on evil. However, his already messed-up life is turned upside down when two new faces enter town; the first being Gorgryph, a hideous, ancient beast hell-bent on committing the ultimate blasphemy, and Krystal, a beautiful young woman who is anxious to help Coleman escape his dark place. Burdened by his intense self-hatred and threatened by evil forces at every turn, Coleman must save not only hundreds of victims Gorgryph plans to destroy, but must also save his own soul. From the gates of his personal hell to the roof of a majestic cathedral, Coleman's journey will reveal to him his true purpose as an instrument of righteousness...and bring him back to the God he has forsaken.
Hello, I am the Angel of Death, and I want you to work for me. There was a time in which your kind foolishly believed the world would end, and I will transplant you from your current dimension to that era. You will bring such an event to a dark and evil threat to mankind; this of course being a powerful cult comprised of the cruelest psychopaths orchestrating their venomous plans to destroy your future with their practices. For this you will be gifted with my powers of strength, wisdom, and the ability to fly, which will protect you from the cult's heavy weaponry. The, as your American slang terminology would dictate, "perks" of this job will be to discover the woman of your dreams ten years prior to your initial meeting, and the opportunity to prevent earlier horrors in her life from ever happening. Ah, I see your anticipation now- but be warned; the effects of your conquest will bury you in a twisted war, bringing with it pestilence and then me. Though I employ, I'm not allowed to play favorites. But the decision is yours; will you work for me?
In a futuristic time, Bruno Redding, doctor aboard the "USS Encounter" awakens after 750 years in cryosleep to find himself the only survivor of a doomed voyage lost in the vast and lonely cosmos of deep space. Here he begins to notice strange presences aboard the lone and ancient vessel, one of good and one of evil. In a fit of impulse, Bruno rescues an alien visitor on his ship only to become embroiled in a chase conducted by slave merchants of a futuristic system of slavery in the Estaris Quadrant, a place his ship has drifted. Bruno finds himself hampered by a fiendish crew of Space Pirates led by the fiendish captain John Mars, who intend on selling Redding as an article from the past. Bruno is then sent upon a self-imposed mission to outmaneuver his captors and rescue their other victims. This brings him into crossing paths with a kindred spirit named Pamela who is held captive in a moon-base ruled with an iron hand by a heartless dictator named David Eidon. It is through his travels with the alien creature and Pamela that Bruno finds himself as more than a match for the cruel system that wishes to destroy what good remains in the "world"- what Bruno perceives as home. Only in fighting for the humanity of others will Bruno uphold his own. However, an even more formidable foe comes to threaten Bruno, this being his own demons manifested in that of a heartless, soulless creature fueled by Redding's own doubts and misgivings. Bruno must fight to uphold what remains good within him, and this he can only accomplish with Pamela and his alien companion. Alone Bruno will only fall victim as he has before. Only with the help of his friends can he combat the likes of Mars and Eidon, and save his soul from his personal demon along with the lives of countless others in the process.
