Yush...now the Nocturnal Requiems Contest officially opened^^!
Although I haven't finished the cast references due to my business last week...but this week I'll start submitting the sample/teaser pages for them.

As for all the time I never told you about the story itself but nao I'm gonna tell you a brief synopsis for it

Synopsis:
Cain is half-demon bounty hunter whom well-known for his skillful fighting ability and his recklessness that always causing trouble while doing his missions,although in the end he can finished it successfully…
But he lost his memory about who he actually issince 15 years ago ,until he did a mission from his guild to find out about 'Nocturnal Requiem'.
Nocturnal Requiem itself is a codename given by some guilds about an incident that killed so many people in some places.And it was unusually started with a violin plays in the night which became a sign of the massacre.
But the more deeper he involved with the incident,the more he find out the truth about himself...and it might harm some people around him.
This is also connected to an incident called 'Lazarus Breed' that made some people turned into a demon 15 years ago.
(well...mebbe it's kinda predictable for its storyline...but I warned you....this won't be as predictable as you thought)
