In a world ruled by a dangerous energy known as Vera, power always comes at a cost. Ikoishi Mumen, a quiet boy who grew up alone in the forests outside Oakenreach City, has survived his entire life by instinct-unaware that he has been unconsciously using Vera to hide, endure, and fight. When he is discovered by Sylenphiro, an elite enforcer of the global Shikari Union, Ikoishi is drawn into a hidden world of strict rules, elite warriors known as the Strings, and battles against monstrous beings emerging from the Forbidden Land and the criminal syndicate Oni Tora. Driven by the mystery of his missing mother, believed to be trapped on the Forbidden Island, Ikoishi must learn to master Vera while facing enemies where every decision drains him, every mistake leaves him vulnerable, and survival depends not on reckless strength-but on restraint.

Lieutenant James Barnett never expected his first major assignment to be a time travel mission to ancient Greece-but with humanity's future hanging in the balance, the 1st Strategic Recruiting Battalion will take any opportunity they can. Tasked with assembling the ultimate team from history's most legendary beings, Jim and his soldiers cut a path across 1400 BC, striking deals with gods and recruiting monsters. None of their recruits prove quite as surprising as Medusa-fearsome, misunderstood, and far more than the myth. She becomes the heart of their growing team, guiding them through ancient rivalries while helping Greece's cities with their problems along the way. But not every god welcomes their presence. One has it out to destroy the band of outsiders. The newly formed ragtag group of legends must stand together against a divine onslaught, with the fate of two worlds on the line.
