In Grey Matter Series Volumes 1&2 Special Edition, set in Earth 3176, Mark Trogmyer is believed to be the last pure child with traditional morals, destined to fight the dark force known as Grey Matter — the tangible form of sin affecting the world and its inhabitants. Guided by the mysterious Frank Burgesis, Mark enters the World of the Unknown, where he must learn from 17 clan leaders, prove his purity of heart, and master Elemental Magic through conscience-based tattoos. His quest is to unite the clans against Nerogroben, an evil troll tyrant ruling with cruelty, and cleanse both worlds of corruption.

Earth 3176: Mark Trogmyer is supposed to be the last pure child on Earth with the traditional morals and values that set him apart from those of his age. Mark is brought into the World of the Unknown by the unlikeliest of people, Frank Burgesis. Burgesis is an old man who randomly appears on Mark's doorstep and tells him to meet him that night when everyone is asleep.

Burgesis takes Mark into the World of the Unknown and it's explained to him that it may be he who's prophesized to be "the one" to rid both Earth and the World of the Unknown of Grey Matter, or clouds of evil. Grey Matter in the World of the Unknown is the physical form of sin; for every evil act done, a volume of clouds forms and it affects people's judgement.

Mark is also informed that while learning lessons along the way from 17 different clan leaders who rule in the World of the Unknown, he is supposed to prove his purity of heart. These lessons learned will sway the Clan Leader to show their clans that they have someone worthy to follow to fight Nerogroben. Nerogroben is an evil troll who has taken over the World of the Unknown with his loyalists.

Trolls are considered at the bottom of the social hierarchy within the realm of the World of the Unknown. Nerogroben has deemed himself the Supreme Ruler over all of the World of the Unknown and anyone who doesn't follow him is tortured or killed. Mark's job is to fight Nerogroben and his army of loyalists, and rid the world of Grey Matter with the support of the clans.

When Mark lands in the World of the Unknown, he turns into a Magical Human Elf and is taught Elemental Magic, which is sourced through tattoos or Magimarks that are given to you and are based on your conscience. Will Mark have what it takes to accomplish his destiny, or will he fail like the others before him?

The Grey Matter Series Volumes 1&2 Special Edition by Anthony S Parker explores these themes, inviting readers into a world of suspense and magical intrigue.
