Scarred by his past, Lachlan Bronnewhin travelled to the fourth corner of the world, Nihon, to right a wrong. Now he lives as a foreigner in a land divided between the past and the future, fighting for a way to achieve his goals. This isn't easy when you're a gaijin. Especially when you're keeping your cards close to your chest, and happen to be a magical subset that could get you thrown out if anyone learns about it. Or tossed in the Shadow Corps if you're lucky.
Of course, Lachlan could be better at hiding. Though he didn't plan on it, the Shadow Corps may be the ticket to achieving his goal, and that, in the end, is all that matters. No matter how cutthroat the academy may be, how stressful the training regime, or how bad his teammates' feet smell, he'll get to the top with the friends he's made along the way. Because he can't rest until he's atoned for his sins.
Not yet.

Yeahhhhhhhh urban fantasy babyyyyyyyyy *sunnies & finger guns*
I don't do a posting schedule, sorry, but I'm aiming for at least two chaps a week, give or take because I ain't putting a cap on my chapters. We'll keep them below 10,000 words for everyone's sanity, but at this point I really don't care if they get up to 4k.
Apologetics over, if you're here, then buckle in for a soupy mix of magical critter, magical lad, magical mecha suits, vibes from the late 20th century (we don't have mobile phones, we have PAGERS), shenanigans, and backstory angst.
