He awoke with no name, no past—only the weight of steel clasped around his arms.
The gauntlets spoke. They remembered when he could not.

In a world where hunters rise through levels, where the strongest climb past 100 and carve their names into history, he starts at the bottom—an amnesiac assassin with nothing but instinct, skill, and the one-of-a-kind weapon fused to his body: the Ego Gauntlets, a living armament that shifts between blades, guns, shields, and more.

Every contract he takes drags him deeper into shadows filled with monsters, conspiracies, and secrets buried by governments and kings. Every battle pushes him closer to the truth of who he once was.

But leveling is slow. Enemies are ruthless. And compared to legends who can annihilate armies, he is still nothing more than a flicker of shadow.

Yet even a shadow can grow sharper.
And in the silence between kills, his gauntlets laugh, whisper, and evolve with him.

The journey of the nameless assassin begins—one contract, one level, one secret at a time.
