Prologue

Greetings. This is Director Fulcrum. If you are reading this, then you have stumbled upon a file pertaining to my life story. Please be advised that the contents of this file are Top-Secret, should be handled with utmost care, and must NOT be disclosed to anyone else. Such disclosure will be met with severe force, with such force depending on your rank.

Now then, let us begin. My name is not Fulcrum. That is merely a codename to mask my identity from hostile forces. My real name is Leon. Leon the Panther. I am 24 years old, and serve as the Director of the Ministry of Covert Operations, formerly the Ministry of War. I have been doing this for nearly 7 years now, and I must say, it gets kinda lonely.

I spend my days in my office. Gathering information, but never making friendly conversation. Forming partnerships, but never friendships. Making connections, but never attachments.

I am told that this is no way to live. And I agree. But I have no choice. Innocent people could get hurt, or even die, if I don't make the sacrifices that I make. I work in the shadows to serve the light, so that no one else has to go through what I went through. No one deserves to live the way I have…

What do I mean by that? Well, to answer that… we must go back to the beginning.
