The first decade and a half of his life belonged to a father whose fate was full of hardship. The following decade and a half belonged to an army that left him no choice. Introverted and sensitive, he should have had nothing to do with a military career. But fate had other plans, and he spent what should have been the best ten years of his life in the shadow unit "Snake Eaters." Then, during a mission that was supposed to be low-risk, he met with disaster. Everything that had come before was torn apart in an instant. Stripped of his military identity, he became once more the lost and helpless "boy."
By a twist of fate, he joined Griffin, which was expanding its ranks of commanders, and was sent to Wodun City, an independent city somewhere in Eastern Europe, near the superpower R. There, a rebellion by the Sangvis Ferri was brewing. Facing a new life, he decided to become a mercenary who put money above all else. But the Tactical Dolls, each with their own personality, proved far more complicated than he'd imagined. Over time, the Dolls came to see this confused man as a kind of salvation.
In this strange independent city, the obsessions and desires of all sides are gathering, building toward a storm that will shake the heavens. And he may be hiding a secret no one could have expected.
What awaits him and them is an even deeper whirlpool...
Can he and they save themselves?
