Description
Based on the classic story "Journey to the West", set in an alternate post-apocalyptic future. With her parents murdered and her brother abducted, a trainee Monk of the Gun pursues the one responsible, the Bull Demon King, undefeated Warlord of the Crimson Army. Struggling to track down her enemy while braving the dangers of the wilds, she enlists the help of Sun Wukong, but 500 years under a mountain have taken its toll on him. Unstable and weakened, will he be more hindrance than help? Can he become the warrior he once was? A Monk and a Monkey journey across a world... ... where the remnants of technology are seen as magic, while pockets of humanity strive to drag themselves out of ignorance. ... where the descendants of animal-human hybrids, once created as instruments of war, now seek to dominate the world as demons. ... where beings who call themselves Immortals and Gods preoccupy themselves with selfish pastimes, ignoring everything else. Amongst other things, a story about growth, grit, and being better than the person you were yesterday.
