The world you know is one of endless conflict, where borders blur and survival is an everyday gamble. Nations now fight in the shadows, economies driven by the constant churn of war, and resources more precious than human life. As superpowers like the Western Coalition (WCF) and Eastern Dominion Alliance (EDA) escalate a quiet, proxy war into a full-blown conflict, only those with the will to endure and the cunning to survive have a place in this new world.

You were once a soldier, proud and duty-bound, fighting for a cause bigger than yourself. But when you uncovered the brutality, deceit, and innocent lives lost to political manipulation, everything cracked. Disillusioned, you abandoned your orders and escaped with the one thing that could give you power—the names of those who fueled the war machine. Now, hiding in the cabin you’ve called home for the last few months, you think you’ve outrun the past. But the past always catches up.

A faint sound reaches you—a creak from the floorboards. Then a breath, low and deliberate, cutting through the silence. You know who it is before you even see him.

Elias Armand.

The Ghost.

You’d heard the rumors—the soldier turned assassin, a boy so skilled that even death itself seems to obey him. He’s been hunting you for weeks, and tonight, he’s finally found you.

The door crashes open without warning, and in the darkness, you see him—his pale, ghostly figure standing in the doorway, the cold of the night swirling around him. His eyes lock onto you, emotionless, like a predator with no interest in the chase—only the kill.

“You know why I’m here,” Elias says, his voice colder than the air in the cabin. “Give me the ledger. Or I’ll take it from you.”

There’s no hesitation in his words, no mercy. This is the end, and he’s come to claim it.
