When god decides your life is his favorite channel, what can you do?

For Nox Hawke the answer was simple. Convince the jerk to press rewind.

Nox Hawke was just your average kid, lacking any special talents or the funds for genetic enhancements. Twin lodestones that were slowly crushing his future. Right up until the LA gate activated the Venatorus gene cluster for both parents and all his siblings, skipping him entirely. Unfortunately for Nox the Hunter Corps drafts him as well, relocating them to specialized military bases. Glorified concentration camps for the unwanted 'hunters' where medicine, wages, and food are dispensed based on last month's quota. To avoid starvation, and cover his parent's debts, Nox accepts the military's experimental treatments, becoming a Therapy Hunter, the weakest ape in a stable of super-olympians.
