The Story
When a group of seven teenagers are sent to Survival Island as a punishment, the small aircraft that they board and are aboard crash lands in the ocean due to an unexpected storm and once in the water, they quickly become separated from the pilot who can no longer be located. Since they are close to the mysterious Survival island, they rapidly swim towards it as they seek shelter upon it but when they arrive, they swiftly discover that their bonds of friendships and survival skills are put to the test because not all of the strange, mysterious creatures that they find upon the island appear to be friendly or even conform to their human expectations.
Some magical and supernatural elements appear to be present as the group are forced to not only fight for survival but also to become heroes to one another as they try to contact the outside world, attempt to understand some of the mysteries of the island, try to grasp the rules of survival in this new environment and learn some valuable life and survival lessons. However, whilst the group try to figure out their own place in the throngs of their strange, mysterious surroundings, they are pushed to the limits of impossibility and have to make the most of what is actually possible with minimum facilities.

Follow on Ongoing Series:
The group of teenagers, once they return back to their normal home environment and the same city, swiftly find that some creatures from the Island of Mystery have managed to creep into their home territory alongside them and beyond as they sight them in nearby towns too. In order to keep society at large safe, they must then track them down and try to eradicate them before they become a menace, or find a way to multiply. Equipped with only their survival skills learnt from their time on the island and their usual scope of knowledge from high school, they attempt to apply their knowledge and skills to save the human world from the potentially dangerous leakages in the form of mysterious, hybrid, supernatural animalistic bundles of trouble that seem to have followed them back into human society and that have shown up right on their doorsteps.
Due to their pursuit and sometimes successful achievements, the group of teenagers start to form a reputation and are then contacted by individuals with problematic creature sightings and disturbances from all over the city and surrounding areas and so, they form the Young Explorers Creature Seekers Society and start to respond to requests for assistance. However, as they rapidly discover as they embark upon voyages full of self-discovery, learn valuable life lessons and face some very steep practical challenges, the mysterious creatures that they encountered on the island are far from absent from general human society and that in fact, they seem to be even more widely spread than they could have ever imagined which clearly indicates that there is another source and access point which enables them to appear that they need to find and if possible, plug up.
