History

I began this in January 2008. Stopped to administrate some fan forums due to my addiction to games for six months, and went back to work on Frozen Essence.

The original story concept was very different. The MC's (one was a guy) are supposed to be emotionless sealed people. They eat life essence like there's no tomorrow and they have obsessed bodyguards to tend to them. The original story was more dark.

Due to workload, I cut the guy MC out and it gave me more freedom to write the girl's side. It gave me 200% more freedom, actually. This is why you see some pretty female characters that were originally obtainable girls.
