VANGUARD

​A single moment of negligence can cost everything.

​When Master Ling and the Vanguard recruits set out on a routine patrol to investigate a mysterious ambush, they expect answers—not a death trap. Waiting in the shadowy depths of the canyon is a figure long believed to be a mere legend: Monkey, the feared 1st Elite of the Ancient Desert Village.

​Unpredictable, merciless, and wielding a terrifying power, Monkey turns a standard investigation into a desperate battle for survival. Outmatched and surrounded, Master Ling and his young students are forced to push their abilities to the absolute limit against an enemy who defies the very rules of combat.

​As the dust settles over the bloody rocks, the dynamic of the entire world shifts in an instant. Left with the crushing weight of a devastating outcome, the surviving recruits face a grim reality: the era of peace is over, and a dark shadow has fallen upon Vanguard.

​How far will you go when brute force is no longer enough?

​This is no longer just a mission. It is the beginning of a war.
