Description:

Note: On Hiatus Aboard the Advenna Avis in 1711, a group of alchemists summon a demon in the hopes of gaining eternal life. The demon gives them an elixir of immortality and the method of ending their existence by "devouring" one another. Soon after, one among them begins to devour his companions. Realizing the danger posed by staying together, they scatter across the globe. Centuries later in 1930's America, a certain federal investigator tries his best to combat the rise of organized crime during Prohibition, send a particularly infuriating terrorist to Alcatraz, and catch an outrageous thief duo. Meanwhile, the transcontinental train, the Flying Pussyfoot, begins its trail of blood across the country. In 2002, a small group of the original Advenna Avis alchemists are on a journey to find the rest of their fellow immortals. However, there is one companion they did not expect to meet again. Seemingly unrelated events, from a sleepy Italian city in the early 1700's to a modern luxury cruise ship traveling across the Pacific, reveal themselves to be far more connected than anyone could imagine...

Description:

A comedic dark fantasy about vampire clans, a vampire princess, and the man who hunts them! "Dear ladies and gentlemen of Japan! I apologize for asking such a mundane question, but do you all believe in vampires?" "I beg your pardon. It seems I'm a bit tardy in identifying myself. My name is Gerhard Von Balstein. I am a vampire, entrusted with the Island of Growerth and bestowed with the title of 'viscount.' Instead of introducing myself, I thought I might recount the story of a disturbance which occurred on my island. Or might I say, please allow me to tell you since I have some time on my hands." "Whether you believe my story or not, I'm sure it is as clear as daylight that I am not a person. At any rate, my body is..." (Source: Seven Seas)

To undo the spell, they're hunting and killing the Sorcerers in the Hole, hoping that eventually they'll kill the right one.

Fate/strange Fake

7.98

Description:

The plot centers around a Grail War faultily copied from the Third Holy Grail War in Fuyuki. After the end of the third Grail War, an organization from the United States that has magi separate from the London-based Mage Association as members took data from Fuyuki's Grail War and planned their own ritual. After seventy years, they used the city Snowfield as the Sacred Land for their own Grail War. They were unable to successfully copy every aspect of the ritual, which lead to it acting only as an imitation that has lost the Saber class and allowed for the summoning of strange Servants due to the definition of a "hero" being blurred.
