Prologue

Kieran Kesuchian, frankly, didn't expect to die. Well, not as much die as in "disapear". He didn't expect to lose his best friend and family in one night. He didn't expect to discover a secret agency supposedly guarding Keidham underneath the City. And he definitely didn't expect to be left with strange people, with strange glowing marks and scars and told that he could never return home.

He isn't a warrior. He doesn't want to help protect the world. He doesn't want to help kill aliens that threaten humanity's new existence. He honestly doesn't even care that much. He just wants his family and his life back. His predictable, safe, orderly life.

But you can't always have what you wish for.
