For as long as they could remember, Kang Jiho, Han Taesung, Seo Minjae, Choi Sunwoo, Jang Wooshik, and Yoon Haesol had lived under the watchful eyes of a society that feared them. They weren’t just ordinary citizens—they were anomalies, born with powers beyond human comprehension, and from the moment their abilities surfaced, they were marked for death. The government called them Strains—beings whose very existence disrupted the natural order. They were taken from their families, locked away in hidden facilities, studied like lab rats, and, for some, experimented on. But the six of them refused to be caged. One fateful night, they made a choice: to run. To leave behind the only world they had ever known and carve out their own path, even if it meant being hunted for the rest of their lives. But running isn’t as simple as it seems. The past clings to them like shadows, and their own powers threaten to destroy them from within. Each of them carries a reason for leaving—a wound, a secret, a betrayal.
