Kalamari Outpost

Wolf is a fifteen-year-old mercenary and one of the last two survivors of the Dark Devil Pack, a tribe once 20,000 strong that possessed the "common tongue"...the ability to communicate with the spirits of animals and nature. While her ancestors used this gift to protect the wild, Wolf uses it to survive. Operating as a freelance assassin for the Kalamari Outpost, a high-tech military industrial hub, she navigates treacherous snowstorms and impossible odds by letting the forest spirits guide her aim.But Wolf's solitary, cynical existence is upended when she saves Pika Oyama, the sheltered and terminally innocent daughter of the Outpost's supreme commander. Pika, who has spent her life in a "bubble" of luxury and isolation, becomes instantly enamored with the "cool" mercenary who speaks to bears and owls.As Pika's powerful family schemes to control her social circle by hiring "fake friends" (rehabilitated child-soldier psychopaths like the cannibalistic Joo Mi Paik and the explosive expert Zizi Borza) Wolf finds herself drawn into a web of corporate politics and social manipulation.

Deep within the military autonomous zone of Kalamari Outpost, a storm is brewing. While nuclear armaments are illicitly funneled into the region in defiance of international treaties, a much more personal conflict erupts at the Soft Brain Cafe.Pika Oyama, the sheltered and relentlessly kind daughter of the formidable General Akashi Oyama, has struck up an unlikely friendship with two of the world's most dangerous girls, the "zombie" demolitions expert Zizi and the feared cannibalistic war criminal Joo Mi Paik, known as the Incubus Thousand Calamity.When a bitter cafe owner recognizes Joo Mi Paik and exposes her dark past, a spark of vengeance ignites a city-wide manhunt. Pika, refusing to abandon her new companions, finds herself at the center of a violent uprising. As thousands of vengeful citizens swarm their position, the trio must rely on Zizi's tactical mind and Joo Mi Paik's lethal instincts to survive.From the shadows, the mysterious Wolf Starscope watches as a silent guardian whose intervention leaves a lake of blood in its wake. But as the dust settles, a new path emerges.

In the heart of Kalamari Outpost, General Akashi and his executive board of lunatics, researchers, and assassins are meeting to finalize a "New World Order." From the terrifying strategist Colonel Vog'drunath to the sadistic Joo Mi Paik, the goal is clear... global domination through fear, precision strikes, and a total lack of mercy.While the high-ranking villains argue over the ethics of tyranny, Pika Oyama (the General's "sweet little angel") is busy climbing the mercenary ranks. Accompanied by her "rehabilitated" friends, Zizi and Joo Mi Paik, Pika is taking on jobs that are increasingly dark and dangerous. Their latest mission? Tracking down bounty targets in the ruins of the Incubus Thousand, where Joo Mi Paik's reputation as a "reformed" cannibal is put to a gruesome, theatrical test.Meanwhile, in the frozen wilderness of Moonstone Valley, the legendary Wolf Starscope is on a path of destruction. Tasked by the child prodigy Nydia Dulik to eliminate "Ihan" (a sixty-foot robotic dinosaur harassing trade routes) Wolf must push her spiritual limits to dismantle the machine from the inside out.

When a botched interrogation ignites a war between two ruthless military powers, a trio of teenage mercenaries and a legendary assassin find themselves trapped in a deadly race against time. Surrounded by 7,000 soldiers in a collapsing iron mine, they must hunt down a sadistic commander before the mountain becomes their tomb. It's a descent into a frozen wasteland where propaganda is law, and survival is a bloodbath.

Deep within the frozen iron mines of Mount Poljak, the shadows have come to life. Lord Basqun thought he was leading a routine mission to stabilize his power, but he didn't count on the legends being real. An army of 10,000 blue-clawed yetis has been unleashed, and they aren't just protecting their territory...they are hunting. As the Company of Silence faces a brutal slaughter in the dark, the legendary mercenary Wolf Starscope watches from the sidelines with a smirk. For her, this isn't so much a mission as it is a personal vendetta to bankrupt an empire and protect the one person who still sees the hero beneath her cold exterior... Pika Oyama. While Wolf orchestrates a psychological war that pushes Lord Basqun to the brink of insanity, Pika and her mismatched crew of "psychopaths" attempt a different kind of impossible mission...sneaking back into the heavily fortified Oyama estate to beat a curfew.

Having completed her objective, Wolf Starscope must now survive a high-octane escape from the Poljak Ice Plains, dodging fighter jets, shopping mall shootouts, and her own ally's excessive explosions. While King Jan Poljak turns a state funeral into a grotesque variety show, the kingdom's military future falls into the hands of his drunken, incompetent brother.In Kalamari Outpost, a different kind of mayhem unfolds as Joo Mi Paik and Zizi attempt to impress General Akashi. Their strategy to prove they are "normal" friends for Princess Pika involves a lethal hunt for the family's pet alligators to serve as a nostalgic, albeit burnt, breakfast.
