Warner spent his days like almost anyone else.
He got up, went to work, answered phone calls in a call center, went home, spent time with his daughter, and went to sleep.
Only to repeat the pattern over and over and over.

Today was the day that all that would change.
On this day, his daughter Maya would be nearly fatally injured, plunging Warner into a world of paranormal creatures, monsters, and magic he’d never known existed.

Justice handed out by him personally. Vengeance and retribution in equal measure to all that deserve it.
Using his newfound powers and unbending determination, Warner is going to carve a path through the world that’ll send the darkest corners of existence fleeing before him. Even as he crushes them beneath his furious strikes.
The very world will tremble with his actions and fear his coming. Views: 635
