Blurb 1:
Darkness suddenly fell before my eyes. I couldn't tell what was real and what was an illusion. I saw a long corridor, lined on both sides with grotesque faces and mutilated limbs, silent and bloody. The only sounds were my footsteps, "tap, tap, tap," and their hollow echoes. At the far end of the corridor stood someone. We gazed at each other. She had the same face as me.
Was she me? She wasn't me.
"I volunteer to join the Guard. I will use my will and my body to resist the encroaching darkness. I swear to defend the safety of my country with my life, until the dawn arrives."
Blurb 2:
I thought I would study day and night, fight my way through the fiercely competitive civil service exams, and land a government job. I expected to spend my life in a laboratory, devoting myself to research. I never thought I'd suddenly land a job without taking an exam! I may have gone from a quiet researcher to a violent one, but that doesn't diminish how happy I am to have a secure position!
