“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.

The object on display was a thin needle. If Neo didn't know himself well, he would have said the needle on display was his. The color, the length, the handle, it was so similar to his needle.


"Look at it, Senior. Do you recognize it?" Bryce asked with a giddy tone, then he let go of Neo's shoulders and pressed the top of the glass container.


It opened at the front and Bryce picked up the needle with the utmost gentleness.


"It's a replica…" Neo muttered thoughtlessly.


"It is," Bryce confirmed. "That day you woke up and the doctor said you couldn't use your abilities again, I thought of it." Bryce's gaze was on the needle as he spoke, Neo as well.


Both of them could not take their eyes off it.


"I hired people to create a replica of your needle so you could use it for the meantime before you get your abilities back." Bryce lifted his head to look at Neo.
