No one knew how or why it happened, heck it would be weird if they knew. After all, what sane explanation could be given for how the Earth was suddenly enveloped by fog? That wasn't the strangest part though as out of the fog, unspeakable entities emerged to spread death and destruction. It didn't take long for civilization to fall as the death count entered into the billions. Mankind faced extinction at the hands of the Fog and the creatures within. During this period, a group of crazed scientists aided by the world governments, came together to erect a 300-floor edifice simply known as Haven in a bid to protect what was left of humanity. That was several years ago so I wouldn't know how they managed such a feat but because of their efforts, the last bastion of mankind was able to escape the horrors of the Fog. Within the Tower, A select few were unwilling to give up on the outside world and continued to fight against the Fog in a bid to reclaim our home. Some might call it a hopeless struggle, after all, Mankind's claim over the outside world is all but finished but I beg to differ! Earth is our home and no matter what, I will reclaim what was lost. This was a fight dad started and it is one I intend to finish, no matter the cost. My name is Jeremy Walker and this is the tale of our descent into madness...

The war ended twenty years ago. The treasure was never found. Mbappe has one last mission in him. His son is sick, the medicine costs more than he will ever earn, and the Empire that gave him medals and scars has nothing left to offer but indifference. When Theron arrives with a map and a rumor, a chance to claim the Eagle's Hoard, the fortune that was promised to them and stolen by the generals who never set foot in the jungle, Mbappe resists. He knows what greed does to men. He knows what he is capable of when the killing starts. But he agrees, on one condition: no killing, no innocents, take what they are owed and vanish. He cannot keep that promise. The heist succeeds. The vault beneath Kaethar holds more gold than they dreamed, and for a few hours, in the torchlight, they are rich beyond imagining. Then Oberon, heir to the Warlord-King, lets them carry the treasure out of the jungle because he wants them exhausted and off guard and far from help when he comes to take it back. General Kael, commander of the imperial garrison, wants the gold for himself and will kill anyone who stands between him and the fortune that was supposed to fund the occupation. And the team begins to fracture, because the weight of the gold is heavier than any of them anticipated, because Jude disappears with a chest and a map, because Chico dies in the first ambush, because betrayal is easier than loyalty when the stakes are this high. The pursuit across the Reach is a nightmare of violence and moral decay. They abandon the gold to save a life and kill to get it back. They become the thing they swore they would never become.
