Insane. Traitor. Terrorist.
Those were the names the world gave Joon-young—the soldier who stood at the edge of a lost war and chose defiance over surrender. His last stand was not a battle. It was a betrayal of death itself.
When the dust settled, he was no longer Joon-young.
He was Isaac.
Born again into a world that did not know his name, he sought only a quiet life. But blood remembers, and family is a cruel chain. The people who should have protected him wanted him erased. So they sent him to the Campus—the Empire’s greatest seat of learning, a place of prestige, power, and polished ambition.
They thought it would destroy him.
They told him he would be ignored. That he would not be protected. That the rules would bend around him like smoke, leaving nothing to hold him back.
They were right.
The rules would not protect him.
But they would not stop him either.
If the world refused to see Isaac as a man, then he would become something else.
Something unforgettable.
