Where did he go?

Summary:

One night, Deuce Gorgon vanishes.

His phone is found.
His trail ends.

What happened to Deuce Gorgon?

Notes:

This story and universe has been in my head for a long time and I finally had the guts to actually publish it. I do hope that you enjoy this story as much as I have enjoyed creating it in my head.

English is not my first language so there might be some mistakes here and there, I apologize for that.

Chapter 1: 0. World guide

Notes:

This chapter is just an introduction to the world and characters (there are a few OC´s here). You don´t necessarily need to read this to understand the story. This is simply a short introduction.

Chapter Text

The World:

Humans and monsters exist in the same reality.

Most people live separate lives, with different schools, communities and cities built to accommodate different species. In larger cities, portal systems connect the human world to monster cities around the globe.

Most civilians never interact with these systems.

But someone has to protect them.

The Guardians:

The guardians are an international organization responsible for protecting the balance between worlds.

Their responsibilities include:
- monitoring portal systems
- preventing inter dimensional threats
- protecting both human and monster populations

Guardians operate outside normal law enforcement structures and are trained for situations most people will never even hear about.

Guardians also receive their own personalized and specialized weapon around the age of 16, this is decided by the commander of the base and mentors of the young guardians.

Young guardians train while attending normal schools, balancing two lives at once.

Most Guardians grow up in Guardian families and begin training at a young age. However some join at an older age, that is very rare as Guardians are a secret organization. Most of those who join at an older age usually either finds out about the organization through a guardian partner or friend.
