Driven by grief, an assassin casts away his identity as an elite of the foremost shadow organization.
He finds himself.
Driven by remorse, he drowns himself in alcohol. An old acquaintance visits. A hand is extended. A plan is formed.
He finds purpose.
Driven by a thirst for vengeance, the assassin executes his plan, his life the price.
But he has not found peace.
There is no release in death's embrace. There is only the hollow feeling of regret. In his last moments, under conditions born of deep regret, the assassin finds himself reborn into a new world with strange, exciting new powers.
Embracing his new identity, he resolves to gain the power to protect those who are now dear to him. But the path to power has never been an easy one.
Under the thin veil of peace, he sets upon the path, rewriting the rules and discovering new truths.
