Is This Really A Game?!

In a quiet coastal town, a man named Adrian lived a modest life as a fisherman, keeping to himself and never speaking of his past. Beneath his simple clothes and weathered hands was a hidden truth—he was the heir to a vast fortune and a powerful family empire. Years earlier, suffocated by privilege and expectations, Adrian had vanished without a trace, seeking peace in anonymity and freedom in hard, honest work. For years, no one suspected the humble fisherman was once Adrian Locke, the enigmatic billionaire’s son whose disappearance made headlines. But when the town faced a crisis—a powerful developer threatened to destroy the harbor—Adrian could no longer stay silent. He stepped forward, revealing his identity and calling in resources that stunned the community. With calculated precision and a quiet authority, Adrian used his connections and wealth to fight back, preserving the town and exposing the corruption behind the deal. His return to power wasn’t about reclaiming status, but using his background for something meaningful. In doing so, he found a purpose far greater than running—he found a way to merge the man he had become with the legacy he had left behind.

Adrian Kaine was once the deadliest operative in Shadow Unit, a black-ops division buried so deep in the government that most agents never lived long enough to speak of it.

His name was erased. And those who orchestrated the betrayal made sure he was declared dead. They miscalculated. Eighteen months later, Adrian resurfaces as a ghost in the ruins of his old headquarters, hunting for the truth buried beneath the ashes. But he is not the only one searching. Marcus Hale, his former teammate and supposed friend, now leads a covert kill team tasked with eliminating him. Above Marcus sits Colonel Mason Kade, the official who signed the order that condemned Adrian’s entire squad. And watching all of them from the shadows is a faceless mastermind known only by a single encrypted codename: Cipher.
