Monsters We Make, Vol. 2

Authors CoryxKenshin and Corey Mikell
Illustrated by Andrew Gong

The Past Hunts Him. The Future Tests Him. VECTOR ONE Awaits.

Still haunted by the Leaker he killed, Jabari can’t escape the shadows of his past. Now, he and Team Alpha are summoned to a high-level briefing with NEA’s most ruthless force, the Enforcer Division known only as VECTOR ONE. Within their ranks lurks the infamous HellHound, Wraith, a name whispered with equal parts fear and respect across New Edyn Academy.

What begins as a tactical meeting spirals into a shocking emergency training session, a trial by fire designed to push Jabari and Vector One beyond their breaking points. Friendships will be tested, rivalries ignited, and every weakness exposed in a clash that will reshape the balance of power at NEA forever.

Born during The Eternal Night—a mysterious event that plunged the world into darkness 17 years ago—Jabari and his classmates were always different. But now, those differences are turning deadly.

As secrets unravel and bodies begin to fall, Jabari is pulled into a chilling web of hidden powers, haunted halls, and a darkness that refuses to stay buried. To survive, he must confront not only the horrors lurking in New Edyn’s shadows, but the truth about himself.

The nightmare begins in Volume 1. The descent continues in Vol. 2 and Vol. 3 – coming soon.
