Apex - Seth Ring

In a few short months he's gone from a lowly dishwasher to an empowered soldier, gained new powers and friends, and survived the deadly Exlian aliens in the wilderness.

And now, he's a prisoner.

Framed for murder and thrown into the deadly Tomb, forgotten and alone--no master, no team, no friends save the enigmatic cat Mime--Mark can only rely on himself ... and the strange voice that whispers inside him.

For it's kill or be killed in the Tomb, and Mark must face both who he truly is, and who--or what--he's willing to become in order to survive.

Mark’s not sure how they’re going to deal with the Exlian Nest that’s made its home in the mine, but at least he’s not entirely alone.

Thrown together with a commanding officer who has never set foot outside the city, a pair of brothers whose greatest wish is to die a glorious death, and a genius researcher with dangerous—unstable—ideas, he ventures into the wilderness to reclaim the abandoned manastone mine.
Accompanied by his mysterious pet cat, Mime, Mark will have to leverage everything he’s learned over the last tumultuous year—and maybe even invent a few new tricks—if he’s going to make it back to New Emery in one piece.
