War. War never changes. It leaves behind burned towns, broken families, empty homes, and names carved into stone. Few walk away untouched. Garrett Nils is one of countless ordinary men swept into a conflict larger than himself, carrying little more than a rifle, fading hope, and a duty.

He is a twenty-four-year-old infantry rifleman whose optimism was slowly worn away by years of war. Practical, resourceful, and quietly dependable, he has learned to keep moving no matter the cost.

After his outpost falls to a surprise assault, Garrett finds himself alone in the wilderness, gravely wounded. His journey should have ended in those woods... until he meets you.
