“I will not be marked.” Neo said.

He turned his neck to look at Bryce. “Step back.”

The threat in his tone was clear. “Or I’ll make you step back.”

Neo was betrayed and left to die in the most important mission of his life. 

When he opened his eyes again, it was ten years later and the world had moved on without him. He, who was once the strongest hunter on Mars, suddenly became a civilian without any of his abilities.

Neo has to build himself up from scratch but his sync partners—the people who are supposed to be his soulmates—are set on holding him back and controlling him.

In addition, Mars has become something else and is no longer the home he dearly remembers. Neo’s return stirs up forces that are greater than anything imaginable as he takes it upon himself to rectify things.

His righteous actions gain him more enemies than friends. And somehow, his soulmates seem to be among those enemies.

There was a muscly arm wrapped tight around Neo's waist. His head was pressed against a hard, warm chest. One of his hands was intertwined with the other person.


It was like they were embracing intimately. And that was not the most shocking thing. 


A deep frown formed on Neo's face. This was such a familiar situation. Back inside the dungeon, the lunatic had done this same thing.


And since then, many things had happened. Neo's reaction still remained the same.


Neo struck Raze on his cheek, making his eyes fly open.


His violet eyes darted around and settled on Neo's face that was close to his after a second. His hand was still wrapped around Neo's waist and his other hand was still locked with Neo's.


"You pervert, let go of me right now." Neo demanded, pushing Raze away.
