Imagine a world where the greatest threat isn't looming over us, but walking right beside us. They descend in silent darkness, from skies we once trusted, with a hunger so primal, so terrifyingly human, it will curdle your blood. These are not just aliens; they are parasites, insidious creatures from beyond, who must invade and ruthlessly seize control of a human host to survive. And once they've infected their victims, they are free to twist flesh into any deadly form they choose: hulking monsters with razor teeth, grotesque winged demons, or silent assassins with blades for hands. Yet, the most chilling horror of all is that most choose to hide their lethal purpose behind ordinary human faces. They are everywhere. They are everyone. And no one knows their terrifying secret... except one ordinary high school student, Shin. Plunged into a brutal, mind-bending battle for control of his own body against an alien invader, Shin's very existence becomes humanity's desperate, last-gasp hope. Can this reluctant hero navigate the harrowing truth of the invasion and find a way to warn humanity of the unimaginable horrors that walk among them, before it's too late? Brace yourself for a visceral ride into the darkest corners of human and alien nature.
