Simply X

Xander had spent his entire life immersed in the world of the military, a realm where discipline and honor were paramount virtues. Growing up on various bases around the globe due to his parents' service, Xander was no stranger to the rigors of military life. Following in their esteemed footsteps, he graduated from military school with flying colors and became a renowned military cop, excelling in his position as he dealt with suspects who were not your average criminals. Despite commanding respect and authority wherever he went, Xander knew that life in the army had an expiration date. Yearning for something different, he bid farewell to his military career and set out to explore the unknown territories of civilian life. The bustling cities didn't appeal to him; he longed for simplicity and a taste of small-town living that was far removed from the structured life he had known. Roaming the country, Xander found odd jobs in pubs as a bouncer or in labor-intensive roles that allowed him to use his physical prowess. As he journeyed, tales of a mystical town deep in the woods piqued his interest. Fueled by curiosity and a desire for a change of pace, Xander decided to investigate this enigmatic town with its rich history of folklore and superstitions. Upon arriving, Xander stumbled upon a security job advertisement that intrigued him. Despite his overqualified background, he attended a group interview and caught the eye of the town's mayor, who recognized the potential in Xander's skill set. Little did he know that fate had other plans for him in this peculiar forest town. When an unexpected threat arose at a town event, Xander's quick reflexes and unwavering bravery saved the mayor from harm, taking a bullet in the process thanks to his trusty vest. The townspeople hailed him as a hero, grateful for his selfless act of protection. Despite his reluctance for the spotlight, Xander found himself embraced by the community, who affectionately dubbed him 'X.' As he delved deeper into the town's mysteries, Xander discovered there was more than meets the eye in this quaint settlement. The mayor entrusted him with additional tasks, and other key town figures sought his assistance, recognizing the unique skills he brought to their close-knit community. With each new challenge, Xander found himself unraveling the town's secrets while forging unexpected bonds along the way. Embracing his new role as the town's silent guardian, Xander realized that sometimes the greatest adventures await in the most unlikely of places. With each passing day, he found himself growing fond of the town that had welcomed him with open arms, eager to uncover the truths hidden within its ancient woods.
