24-year-old Samson Duke walked away from his family's legacy the night he fought his first Abnormal. Now, a freelance Hunter scratching out a living in the shadows of Neo-Veridian, he avoids the politics and reputation-chasing of the established Guilds. But the escape of a Dragon-Class Abnormal—a creature of unnatural strength and terrifying design—drags Samson back into the world he tried to leave behind. As he hunts the beast, he discovers it's not just powerful; it was built. A weapon. This revelation throws Samson into a dangerous investigation, forcing him to confront his family's secrets, the hidden agendas of the Guilds, and the scars that have shaped his life. In a city where power and ambition leave deep wounds, Samson must decide if he can trust anyone, even his own family, to uncover the truth before it's too late.
