About
Myth, legends, fairytales.Passed down from generations to generations via word of mouth, pen and paper, carvings on stone and pixels on screen. The same stories are retold over and over again, finding new meaning and purpose with each iteration. And now, let us continue this cycle. Together, accompanied by the characters of Omniscient Reader, let us read these stories again.
