This is not the journey of a hero. This is the journey of someone who is being broken down, piece by piece, and forced to rebuild herself from the scraps.

This is cyberpunk at its rawest, no neon lights, no sleek cityscapes, just blood, metal, and desperation. It’s grimy, ugly, and beautifully painful to read. Marlene’s journey isn’t about saving the world. It’s about crawling out of hell,one brutal step at a time.

In the shadows of Crystal City, Marlene's life is a delicate balance between mundane days at FreshMart and moonlighting as a cyberware and weapons fixer. Her ambition? To leave her cramped Megablock flat behind for the innovative world of tech engineering.

When Marlene submits a prototype to TriColor Corp, she believes her dreams are within grasp. But the path to success veers unpredictably, plunging her into a web of corporate intrigue and underground challenges. In a city where humanity melds with technology, Marlene faces a crucial question: how much of herself is she willing to risk for a better future?

Let's give Marlene a chance!

<p>Sitting in the truck, I couldn't shake off a feeling of unease. Dressed in Corporation uniforms, Pierce and I were about to embark on a mission. The fabric of the uniform felt stiff and foreign against my skin, I didn't like it.</p>

<p>I glanced at Pierce, who looked surprisingly fitting in the military attire, his usual rugged demeanor taking on a more disciplined and stern appearance. Feeling a blush creep up my cheeks, I quickly turned my gaze away and looked out at the passing scenery of Edgecombe's outskirts.</p>

Time's ticking.
