T.O.P.-The Obsidian Path.

Two young men trying to find their place in a world where extraordinary powers are real, heroes have become an institution, and humanity lives behind enormous walls built to keep dangerous creatures known as Vermins outside. Neither of them considers himself a hero. Their abilities are strange, poorly understood, and seem connected to something much older than the world around them is willing to acknowledge. Beyond the safety of the cities, Vermins are seen as monsters. Inside the walls, heroes are trusted to protect humanity. For most people, the difference between the two is simple. For the two of them, it is about to become much harder to tell. T.O.P. — The Obsidian Path is the beginning of their journey through a world where power is everywhere, answers are scarce, and things may not be as simple as heroes and monsters.
