The protagonist never expected to find himself caught in the middle of a war. He was just an ordinary civilian living his life thousands of years in the future when circumstances thrust him into a conflict he never wanted. The planet Mist lives up to its name in the worst possible way. This world offers nothing exciting, nothing worth fighting over, yet here he stands surrounded by violence that threatens to consume everything around him. He must navigate the dangerous terrain of a battle he doesn't understand while trying to survive forces beyond his control. The protagonist faces impossible choices as the conflict escalates around him. Every decision could mean the difference between life and death, not just for himself but for others caught in the crossfire. On this unremarkable world, he discovers what it means to be thrust into circumstances that will test every limit he thought he had.
