Video Game: Megami Tensei Gaiden

After the End of the world and all of humanity has died, the planet itself is torn apart and its materials were used to construct a large tower that reached the heavens and became a nest for angels and demons.

In this new world, humans are unable to pass on and reside in this world as tortured souls that drift aimlessly throughout the tower's floors. These souls have one of two choices; lose their individuality and become an energy source for demons and angels or conceive a reason, regain their bodies, gather followers, and fight to shape this new world against any and all other reasons, risking being damned for all eternity in the abyss.

The story follows a young girl named Midori who recently regained her body and finds herself in this new world, but unlike other humans that have regained their bodies, she has yet to conceive a reason. This is the story her survival in this new world as she fights against other humans' reasons and gathers followers who belong to no reason and wish only to survive in this crazy world of demons, angels, and humans mad with power.

The story is apart of the Fantasy Chronicles and can be read here: http://thefantasychronicles.deviantart.com/gallery/37658015
