As the world went on as usual, with people working tirelessly to make ends meet, studying sleeplessly to be complimented, and partying endlessly like nothing could stop anyone, suddenly there was a strange explosion in the sky. It only took one day for this explosion to completely change and disrupt the normal balance of everyone's lives in the world. What some once dreamed of has already happened. Modern war broke out, there was discrimination that never ended, and new continents and countries emerged. Amidst the rapid evolution of mankind, there is one thing that still remains a mystery to everyone. Where exactly did the strange explosion begin? What is the reason for all this? Is it really God who is doing the work, or is everything just being played on purpose to destroy the world forever? Despite so many unanswered questions, there is a woman sitting quietly on the steps of a huge mansion. Little by little, every strand of her long, black hair is turning white. Suddenly, her eyes, which were once black, turned a bright golden color. She grinned mischievously and slumped as she rested her elbow on her knee. "Find me if you can. After all, no one really knows that I am number Ten. Come, I have all the answers."

They went to war as soldiers. They came back as brothers. But when the system they fought for betrays them, loyalty becomes their last weapon. Echo Unit was built from broken men — a reluctant captain, a rebellious sergeant, a quiet strategist, a wisecracking soul, and a young recruit with everything to prove. Together, they form one of the most lethal special operations teams in modern warfare. Deployed into a war that no longer makes sense, Echo Unit faces the brutality of combat and the corruption festering inside their own command. When a mission turns into a massacre and the truth is buried, they are marked as traitors and forced to survive behind enemy lines — abandoned, disavowed, and hunted. But in the smoke and blood of a collapsing system, brotherhood becomes their only compass. Each man must face his own demons — guilt, fear, betrayal — while holding the line for the only thing that still feels pure: each other. Years later, when the truth threatens to resurface, the surviving brothers reunite for one last mission — not for orders, not for glory, but for honor. From the trenches of betrayal to the ashes of redemption, Iron Bonds is a powerful tale of courage, sacrifice, and the unbreakable strength of men who refused to die forgotten. It’s not just a war story. It’s a story about what survives after the war.
