Haven Story

Haven Story (ヘイブンストーリー) is an online action-adventure series created by Alex Guy and is a prototype version of Evershade.

A spin-off of a previous series created by Alex Guy, it follows Keichi Haven, a 13-year-old boy with much fighting potential, traveling across different areas around the world, training to become the best and most powerful fighter in the "Last Dimension," but must overcome obstacles and threats along the way, and in the end, must challenge a legend for his most difficult battle yet.

Published online, the series originally ran from 2012 to early 2013 and serves as a prototype version of Evershade, including many similar elements carried over.
