once bitten twice shy

James Seremion was a notorious gang leader, the king of the criminal underworld. But when he had secured his position as the undisputed ruler, he chose to retire and disband the gang. Several years passed after James decided to lead an ordinary life, working as an office manager, owning a house, and having a beautiful girlfriend. His life seemed perfect, until it was taken away from him in an instant, like sand slipping through his fingers. Suddenly, his beloved was slain in an inexplicable incident in her home. James was unaware that his partner was pregnant. His anguish, rage, and thirst for revenge could no longer be controlled by anyone or anything. On his quest for vengeance, James encountered individuals with mysterious powers that he later learned were called auras. This supernatural force was once thought to be magic, as it rendered its users impervious to bullets, blades, and even grenades. The power of the auras was so strong, in fact, that some could reportedly move mountains, drain the ocean, and even summon meteor showers. Can James fight them to find the killer of his lover and future child?
