It is simply a harsh energy extraction mode since harsh memories and evil deeds are too rigid to be extracted" I would say this is a Fantasy Thriller and it brings forth in front of me the combination of Hogwarts in Harry Potter and also Narnia to some extent as the story is set to happen in various imaginary places like Alexas, Nukavyas,Nirvana,Eva to name a few. Nirvana - The land where souls wait to be reincarnated into the birth cycle to go to the land of Eva(Ear...
