The story centers on Grey, a skilled soldier who becomes a test subject for an experimental combat program called the Digital Target System. This system enhances human abilities by integrating advanced technology into the body, turning soldiers into highly efficient killing machines. However, the procedure comes with significant risks, including mental instability and loss of humanity.

Grey’s journey begins after he survives a devastating battle that wipes out most of his unit. He is recruited into the Digital Target program, where he undergoes the transformation alongside other soldiers.
