War took everything from Alden. His memories. His family. His past. When he wakes up in a small frontier town with no recollection of who he is, he expects answers. Instead, he finds monsters crawling out of portals, warriors capable of turning themselves into living disasters, and a world where power decides whether you live or die. The strangest part isn't the world. It's him. Alden doesn't remember his past, but his body does. It remembers how to fight. It remembers how to kill. And every nightmare seems determined to remind him that whatever he used to be, it wasn't normal. As fragments of his past begin surfacing, Alden finds himself dragged into a conflict far larger than himself. A conflict involving forgotten bloodlines, ancient powers, and a System that refuses to acknowledge his existence. Or perhaps it recognizes him all too well.
