Four years have passed since the attempted coups and near destruction of Omega City. Still fighting the fringe element of those forces, and many others having since sprung up in the chaos left behind, Marc Slash forges forward regardless in purposeful solitude, righting the wrongs from the shadows, evening the odds in the cover of night, and protecting the innocent from those who would choose to prey upon them. It is his mission. It is his life. It is his choice. Until one fateful night that changed everything. One fateful night that forever changed the world and reshaped it forever... An unusual and very ancient threat has emerged to target Marc and the Dark Presence he is -- a surreal force which may prove even more formidable and indomitable than even himself. What is reality? What does fate truly hold? And is there truly an escape from a path predetermined, despite a will of cast-iron? For Marc Slash, he must find these further answers, not on the battle- field, but from within ... or risk losing his soul entirely.
