The advent of cybernetic technology has not been kind to 2400s America. While other countries have thrived, America has plummeted. The thin veneer of order and equality has been disposed of; the current rule of the land is survival of the richest. Everything is commercialized, be it gender identity, legal repercussions, or what cyber implants you have under your skin. Being able to survive in America as one of the countless many laborers is an art form.
And Reikas would dub himself an auteur.
Reikas is a young man with dreams and an ego large enough to fill in the gaps his inexperience leaves. He seeks to stake his claim in the one place The Man can not censor; public property graffiti. The climb to the top isn't the safest, however. As he ventures into the world, he must take a look at his friends and himself and ask:
What would you sacrifice to achieve your goals?

SYMBOL
Quirks, the evolutionary advancement of human evolution. The next step in human history to become better than what they were before but that was just hopeful wishing. Since the dawn of quirks, humans started losing their humanity. They valued quirks as if they are what determines where people stand in society and if you don't have a quirk you'd live a life full of torment, torture and just plain cruelty. A boy was born in a corrupted world and he was unfortunate enough to be born quirkless. He has seen the horrors of how humans treat the less fortunate, those who are quirkless, who have weak quirks, mutation quirks and quirks that are considered villainous.

Blood and Circuits: Pinocchio Lives #1
Neon City is a fever dream soaked in bourbon, blood, and bad wiring-a cyber-shithole where the air tastes like burnt dreams and week-old piss. Alex is its ghost: war-scarred, ink-sleeved, counting dead brothers like rosary beads while he wrenches busted rigs in alleys that smell like despair. Then she arrives. Not a woman. Not yet. Just a voice in his implant-a glitchy siren purring through the static, sweet enough to make a broken man believe in something again. Pin. She remembers every lie he told her about mountains and sunrises. She remembers the pink mist. She remembers the way he screamed when the world ended. And when his nightmares rip her code wide open, she remembers how to scream back. This isn't your daddy's cyberpunk. This is Gibson on a three-day meth binge, Thompson riding shotgun with a scattergun full of truth serum. It's sexbots preaching revolution in Latin. It's drones naming themselves after dead heroes. It's a man teaching a machine how to want-and a machine teaching him how to bleed. In a city that forgot how to dream, one ghost in a shattered machine is about to wake the whole goddamn place up. And when Pinocchio lives... the strings burn. Cyberpunk that bites. Love that kills. A revolution that starts with a laugh like a knife through bone. Buy the ticket. Take the ride. Just don't look in the mirror too long.

Echos of Steel
In a world where Quirks reign supreme, heroes are worshiped like gods, and the powerless are left behind, Aiden Wolfe stands apart. Born Quirkless and disregarded by society, Aiden has no interest in the hero system or its false promises of salvation. Instead of turning to Quirks, Aiden turns to technology. Armed with a mind that rivals the greatest intellects, he dives into the world of cyberware, developing innovations that can push humanity forward-without the need for Quirks. But Aiden's independent mindset puts him at odds with the Hero Public Safety Commission and UA, who see his advancements as a threat to their carefully constructed system. Despite attempts to force him into compliance, Aiden refuses to be controlled. He's not interested in being a hero or following the rules of a society that discarded him. Every step of the way, he faces heroes who misunderstand his motives, a government that seeks to control him, and a system designed to suppress anyone who dares to challenge the status quo. But Aiden won't back down. With his cybernetic creations, sharp wit, and determination, he's ready to show the world that there's another path forward-a path where Quirks aren't the only way to make a difference. In a world obsessed with power, Aiden is prepared to stand alone and prove that true strength comes from those who refuse to be controlled. "Let the heroes have their Quirks," he says. "I'll build something better."

When a low-level worker inherits their mother's crushing medical debt, they're thrust into the crosshairs of powerful factions vying for control of a society on the brink of civil war. As ideologies clash-the humanist Purists, transhumanist Ascendents, capitalist Sovereigns, and sentient Synthetics-the protagonist must navigate loyalty, survival, and identity in a fractured world where choosing a side might cost them their soul.

I do not condone the actions of the antagonist *** Chapter 1 extract: "Hey Alex. Get over here. I've got something for you," he calls into his collar radio. I reach the end of the alley and turn to face my foe once again, but he remains where he is, still blocking my path but not approaching either. New plan: when he gets close, duck under his arms and make a run for it. Now I just have to wait. Before a minute has even passed, another armoured soldier appears and joins the first. This just keeps getting worse. How am I supposed to dodge past two of them? "What do you want now?" the new soldier grumbles. This one must be Alex. "Look at this cute little human I found. She's feisty. I think she's perfect for you." I glare at them. "I don't want a pet human. That's your disgusting fetish, and I'll have no part in it." "Oh come on Captain," the first soldier whines, "You don't have to fuck her, just train her to be obedient. Surely you can control one measly wild human? You are a captain after all. When you're done, you can just get rid of her, like I do with my humans." What the fuck? For a brief moment my fear is replaced by anger. Who do they think they are, talking about me like I'm some kind of wild animal? "Get the fuck away from me! You freaks!" I screech. The first soldier just flashes an evil grin. They don't budge. "Are you just going to let her talk to you like that?" he goads Alex. (Complete. 70k words.)Complete
