Umbra. The most mysterious and most exciting word Earth has come to know. An organization that protects the world from all the secrets beyond their atmosphere. It's every kid's dream to work for them. It makes families proud and made any normal person a hero. Still, it might not be all it's made out to be in the end. The world is being threatened by monster-like creatures and the situation is only getting worse. With a commander heavily driven by ambition, Umbra's newest mission may soil their good name and risk unnecessary lives.
