Forty four years after the [[Literature/WyvernDiary Blackmatter Event]], a dictator called D annexes part of the Congo and dubs it the DUMC, D's Union of Mineworkers in the Congo. His rule is totalitarian and corrupt, using the citizens' wealth to fuel his own lifestyle. The surrounding companies hire the Dragon Guild to take him down. One of the soldiers sent out to fight is a young Damian Wolf, an eighteen year old excited by the prospect of the rumors he hears. Rumors that tell him that D has enlisted dragons to fight for him and that they've turned an easy war into a devastating slog that is reducing hope of winning.
Once on the ground, Wolf proves to be one of the deadliest soldiers on the battlefield, killing the guerrilla Congolese troops with ease. In fact, he grows to enjoy the thrill of battle and the power and control one has over their victim in close combat. It is only when the most powerful PMC in the world, Apex, intervenes that Wolf is shown what truly powerful warriors can do...
