Crossroads of Oblivion

Some dream of prosperity, of living a calm and peaceful life. But not me. Having reached the pinnacles of success, I can't stop thinking about the past, about a time when any misstep could spell disaster, when I had to pay, work, and risk everything for even the slightest gain and each day was like walking a knife's edge. That's all in the past now. This peaceful, predictable, and privileged life isn't so bad. But it's boring!

You've done well in life—but success is dull. You miss the days when you strove for a goal, when life was full of meaning and struggle. Well, fate has given you the chance to feel all of that again—granted, in less than comfortable circumstances. You wake up in a strange place where every day is a fight for survival, where even relaxing for a minute can spell your doom. This place is your new home—it is both strict confinement and a whole universe unto itself . . .

Hunter was forced to abandon life as he knew it when he first arrived on the ice world of the Pillar. But, unlike so many others, he didn't let the merciless conditions of his new home break him. Since his very first day in this joyless, freezing hellscape, he fought for survival. He can never let his guard down, because he knows that his strength and determination not only keep him alive, but also those who believe in him.
