He was once something extraordinary.
Now he’s just a middle-aged security guard with a messy room, a haunted past, and a photograph of a family he couldn’t save.
Every morning feels mechanical. Every night feels heavy. He tells himself he’s still alive because someone once asked him to live—for their sake. Not for hope. Not for justice. Just obligation.
But buried beneath the ordinary life is a secret the world was never meant to know.
Decades ago, during the aftermath of a devastating war, the government launched a classified program to create superhuman soldiers. Children were chosen. Conditioned. Experimented on. Some broke. Some adapted.
He survived.
He gained powers. He became a hero. And he paid the price.
Now his abilities are gone—almost. Only traces remain. Enhanced instincts. Strength he refuses to use. Memories he refuses to face.
When his old friend Somy appears at his door with a warning—“They’re back.”—the past he tried to bury begins clawing its way into the present.
The program that created them was never truly shut down.
And the people behind it are still watching.
To stop them, he must become what he hates most—the hero he swore he’d never be again.
But some powers aren’t gifts. They’re consequences.
And running from the past only works… until it catches up.
