大家好，我是 Simon Muys

《Of Life And Death》是我计划创作的五部虚构小说系列的第一部。

A story about life and death. And those who decided to play them like Gods.

“Zodia kills people. It’s death, with its long scythe, taking lives carefully selected by Gods. Who leads the organisation? How is it organised? How does it judge so absolutely? Does it condemn itself absolutely too? It is up to you to uncover all this.

What I know is that the Z pin is their fabric. Their proud signature stamped next to each of their stunts. A golden Z letter on a circle, half way between Zorro and the Anarchy symbol. A shining beacon of hope.

Because Zodia is starting to raise hopes. For those who despaired. Of the powerful, the untouchables, the richest among the richest, the usual criminals, the ones who usually pull strings, and triggers. Zodia doesn’t just kill anyone. It kills those who deserve it most. From my information, the assassins have targeted some of the worst human beings on this planet. And so the word spread. The organisation became a legend. In a matter of months.

Little information filtered through… But I gathered it all. They are knights, with names taken from stars constellations. There was an old Japanese manga which had the same way of storytelling… It must have inspired them… I guess there must be bronze knights, silver knights and gold knights then, same as the anime. But who’s in charge? Who started it? How are they funded? It is as much a mystery to me as it is for most governments.

Zodia kills people. No one knows for sure if we should be glad and thankful, or worried, concerned, afraid… But everybody’s trying to find out who they are and why they do it.”
