He was once the nation’s sharpest weapon, but after accidentally injuring someone during a mission, he exiled himself to an ordinary life.
Gu Chen thought the rest of his days would amount to nothing more than a convenience store, a pack of cigarettes, and countless dusks spent waiting to die.
Until one rainy night, an indescribable monster tore his despondency to shreds.
As he teetered on the brink of death, his pupils were swallowed by pale light. A military knife forged from unyielding obsession cut down the filth of the abyss.
An organization called the “Cleaners” came looking for him, revealing the other side of the world: uncanny creatures ran rampant, mythology was forbidden history, and folk songs were laments for the dead.
They asked, “How many monsters can your obsession carry you through?”
Gu Chen wiped the blood from his blade and said nothing.
From that day on, the soldier’s spirit rekindled within him had only one goal:
With a broken body, hold back the darkness and protect the living.
Looks good.
