Vanguard :The Unbroken

In the kingdom of Valdoria, Ren lived among soldiers who were meant to be his equals.
But he was never truly part of them.
Not in the way that mattered.
The elite district was structured, disciplined, and seemingly peaceful-where knights trained under strict order and life moved with controlled purpose.
Yet even in a place built on unity, Ren always stood slightly apart.
Not by choice.
But by something no one ever said out loud.
He endured it quietly.
The looks.
The distance.
The way conversations shifted when he was near.
It was not hatred.
Not exactly.
Just a quiet acceptance that he did not fully belong.
Then everything changed.
A report of an unstable anomaly at the western border reached the elite command. Patrol units had gone silent. The land itself was beginning to fail in ways no one could properly explain.
And for the first time, Valdoria was forced to act.
Ren was assigned to the response.
Not as a hero.
Not as a leader.
But as something closer to a last option.
A Vanguard.
