· Prologue - Deadzone Horizon ·

"No rules? For everyone? If this is hell for the others, its heaven to me."

D'Mantis, his title more than a name. Grew up in a hostile, gang-ridden area, where he was stolen away and forcefully adopted.

Without any rules or even a suggestion of proper education, he turned to crime as his book. Learning every blindspot, lock-pick, and escape routes with his best friend. The only one who seemed to care.

When it comes to falling in love, his concept of knowing no compassion drives him insane, trying everything he can. Nobody thinks he has any shot of redemption.
