I was five until Chaux came. I was five when the affliction occurred. My name was Kale Ercel, and I was living in Toronto with my parents, until a bright, lime light bursted into the sky. Nobody knew what it was. A star? A comet? A sun? I was on the couch in the living room of the house, until I saw a strange green ray appear outside the wooden porch. I then walked closer to it, since it glowed like a fire inside the lantern of a dark, spider-infested cave. Turns out that they lime glow would probably burn me, but I was too concentrated on the shining aura around it. My parents wondered why I was slowly walking to the porch, until I got too close, and something from beside the house exploded. I lowered my head as I looked backed, then the fire came to me. 

Kale is now 18, looking for a way to stop the affliction in Toronto. Though he seems like a hero for taking the responsibility of restoring humanity in Toronto, he isn't always good. What once was a sweet, caring child is now a dangerous, electrical assassin that people call "Target". 

Will Target save Toronto and be a hero? Or will Target have the same fate as the infected and turn into a villain?
