There is only one thing that can destroy these hellish fiends-Jade Stone. This is the story of a Stone Collector. One who wields Jade forged blades. A man whose family was murdered by these evil abominations and he has now vowed to rid the world of the foul presence. -Author: Kevin Han -Artist: Zom-J
