Spoiled by luxury and driven by ambition, Artemis-a young hitwoman-can't seem to escape the shadows of a fractured world left behind by those who came before her. In cities made of neon-lit ruins and broken promises, she's learnt to survive by cutting corners and making deals in the dark. But the interesting thing about survival, is that it always comes at a cost. And the further she goes, the messier it gets. As Artemis sinks further into a world of corporate corruption and underground schemes, she begins to realize she's caught in the unfinished business of a forgotten war. A war with secrets so deep that even its echoes can still change lives, challenge loyalties, and threaten everything she thought she knew. But how long can she keep doing this? Running from the past-hers and everyone else's? Now, with a buried conspiracy that's been building for two decades starting to unravel, its consequences could reshape the future of the world itself. (This story is based on the Cyberpunk 2020 universe but is effectively its own.)

The corporate-run city of Mecropolis pulses like a circuit board in the dark, with neon veins pumping power, secrets, and corruption under the ruthless watch of Anodyne Networks. Here, rebellion isn't just resistance. It's survival. Here, four souls entangle in the city's electric undercurrent, each fractured by the machine but wired to fight it: Nameless, ghosting through digital shadows, chases echoes from a past Anodyne buried but never forgot. Mister Whisper wears lies like armor, a woman masked in masculine ambiguity, trading secrets that could rewrite fate with a word. 404, the genius with circuitry in his bones and compassion in his code, sparks hope amidst the crushing gears of corporate oppression. And Reaper, part human, part machine, all fury, and living proof that sometimes you must become the monster to defeat one. In Neon Black, lines blur between flesh and steel, identity and illusion, freedom and obedience. The city is watching.

In Night City, dreams don't just die-they get crushed under Corpo boots. Dorian Hexodyne is a merc with more chrome than luck, scraping by in a city built on blood, eddies, and broken promises. When a simple convoy hit spirals into gang wars, corpo wacks, and black market tech that shouldn't exist, Dorian finds himself at the edge of a power struggle that could tear the city apart-or finally make him a legend. In a world where loyalty's bought, trust is rare, and chrome is king, you either burn bright... Or get zeroed in the dark.
