Cyberpuck Stories

In a city where memories are owned, edited, and sold, death is no longer the end-it's a system update. He was executed. Not imprisoned. Not erased from society-erased completely. His crime was so severe, the system didn't just want him gone... it wanted him forgotten. But something went wrong. Now he's awake in a synthetic body that doesn't belong to him, marked as illegal, and hunted by the very system that made him. To them, he's not a man-he's an error that needs permanent deletion. The underground wants him too. Not for who he is... But for what he might become. Because a man who can return from execution isn't just a survivor-he's a threat to control itself. But the deeper he runs, the more the truth begins to surface. The memories in his head don't feel like his. They feel better. Sharper. Intentional. Like they were left behind for a reason. Then he finds the record of his crime. Mass execution. Precise. Deliberate. He didn't lose control. He chose his targets. And the worst part? Some of them are still alive. Now the question isn't who framed him. It's why the system needed him erased so badly... And what he was trying to expose before they killed him. Because if the truth comes back fully- He won't be running anymore. He'll be finishing what he started.
