Michael wakes up to find himself completely alone in a dark forest, the corpse of a deer his only company. The dread in his heart tells him that something horrible has happened, but he can’t recall what. 

He doesn’t remember where he is, who he is, or even what he is. 

And to make the situation worse, he keeps hearing voices in his head, like whispers of long-lost memories haunting him. Now, he must face a bizarre hellish world all alone as he attempts to recover from his amnesia. 

Can he navigate the mysteries surrounding his existence? Can he unravel the memories leading up to his awakening? 

And once he does begin to remember, can he overcome the dire fate awaiting him?

Prologue

Michael, I’ve missed you so much.

I was suddenly staring at a blinding light, the bloodthirsty demons surrounding me having vanished - Ragnarok, and the trapped Miriam, both along with them - with brilliant green eyes being the only indication that there was a person within the luminescence.

Prior to this moment, I vaguely recalled being shown an illusion by my enemy, only to finally break through the hallucination. I was prepared to fight back, despite being only partially transformed, but then everyone around me froze solid.

Even a brown leaf falling from a tree stopped in midair, as if time itself had stopped, only for everything around me to disappear.

Everything, except these glowing emerald eyes.
