Kael Rourke grew up in the industrial outskirts of Eredan City, where discipline and silence were survival skills long before the military taught him to use a rifle. He enlisted at eighteen, serving over a decade in recon and survival operations. Known for his calm under fire and relentless focus, he became the kind of soldier sent in when others wouldn’t come back.

When his transport went down over the southern archipelago, Rourke was declared missing in action. Now stranded on an uncharted island, he relies on instinct, training, and sheer will to endure — haunted by the ghosts of his squad and the gnawing question of whether he’s fighting to survive or just refusing to die.
