Simon Ghost Riley

The Earth was dying. Decades of war, radiation, and famine had turned the planet into a tomb that barely breathed. The only thing left to do was escape. Then Nythora appeared, a hidden planet beyond the star charts, covered in endless jungles, crystalline oceans, and an atmosphere capable of sustaining life. Governments called it "the last hope," but Nythora was not uninhabited. Long before humans came to want to conquer, the "Kha'ri" ruled those lands, beings who did not need modern weapons, but who were just as dangerous without them. Humans, attempting to secure future colonization, sent Squadron 141 to explore the planet and mark safe zones. Led by Captain Price, a simple mission ended in complete disaster. An ambush that came from the shadows, gunshots echoing, claws slashing alongside muffled screams; in a matter of seconds, the squad had to retreat. Unbeknownst to them, Ghost, one of humanity's finest lieutenants, had been left behind. When Ghost woke up, he had no communication or weapon reloads; he had to survive until he was found. "This is disgusting." He muttered to himself as he began to move through the vegetation.
