An apocalypse is among us and the world is falling apart at the seams, however this isn't zombies.
The year is 3068, the idea of a Mechanical city that can shield the world from all dangers is at last a reality. Utopia was a world where humans would be safe from everything. Things in Utopia were designed to be perfect, but they didn't go as planned. As the entire human race was pulled into its walls something went wrong with the center power core. The machines molded into killers, destroying Utopia and everything it was promised to be. The people begged the Utopian government to resolve the problem, but instead they fled to pre-made shelters and sent soldiers to control the rebellious, fearful citizens.
The empire of safety became known as the Mechanical Hell, but was shortened to a simpler name: Mech. Can the rebellion free the struggling human race from the evils of their gigantic steel prison? Will they discover the secrets the Utopian government is hiding? Read on to find out.

CLOUD CASCADE
It's the year 398 of the Ninth Era, an age dominated by the Federation's authoritarian control and by the insidious influence of megacorps like Mercator Group. Human-piloted, mass-produced machines known as Frames define the battlefield, surveillance programs monitor your every move, and no one alive remembers what it was like before it got this way. It's in this tightly-wound, bloody ecosystem that four lives collide. The Knife, a mob enforcer with the ability to bend matter, ends up a courier for a piece of tech she's been trained not to ask questions about. Angela, a Frame Pilot Specialist with the Ministry of State Affairs, fights for justice only to find deafening silence. Grey, her teammate, just wants to keep the squad sane. Major Falwin, their superior, investigates a crime scene and finds a Knife-shaped ghost. Nobody has all the pieces to the puzzle-not until Frames drop, guns are pointed, and the nature of reality becomes a question mark. In this new, unrelenting conflict, there won't be any winners, only more devastation.
CYBERPUNK RED: Silphium.
A man among the dead, Orsino Ottavi has spent the last six years as Night City's mayor, pushing to clean up the city with the help of his 'Winona-Accords' with remarkable success, he survives a deliberate assassination attempt on his life by an unknown assailant claiming to know everything he does. Orsino's life is thrown upside down as he finds himself stuck between a rock and a hard place, enlisting the help of a wanted vigilante known as 'The Judge' and breaking surveillance laws with the only ally he has left: an AI structured after his own brain waves. Soon he's trapped in a fight for survival, desperately attempting to figure out which of his ghosts are haunting him, and which are trying to kill him. [Author's Note: This story is a Cyberpunk Red fanfiction of my PC set a few years after the end of a 7-month long campaign I had played earlier this year. Personally, I felt like there was still a lot more of the world that I could explore, along with themes of consequence that I could play with using characters I knew and understood. ]Complete
