Drowned in a modern lake, Silas wakes in a brutal wasteland—in the body of a cruel Guide. Force-bonded to Kael, an S-rank Sentinel with a black panther, he must care for Noah, the son the old Silas abused. With modern survival skills, he stocks the base against winter: food, preserved meat, warmth. Noah stops flinching. Kael's ice thaws. As scheming relatives circle and the two grow close, Kael wonders—is the soul inside Silas still the same?
