   Summary

   A seemingly ordinary teenager is suddenly transported to another world, the reasons for which are unknown.

   At first, survival is his only goal, but as time passes, his resolve hardens into something both darker and more hopeful.

   Unbeknownst to him, his actions begin to subtly alter the course of history, steering events toward a new and uncertain future.
