Arcane: Thicker Than Blood
Piltover and Zaun are two cities separated by a single bridge - ironically called the Bridge of Progress. Above, Piltover shines as the City of Progress, filled with dazzling lights and prosperity. Below, Zaun suffers as an industrial undercity, poisoned by toxic waste and chemical fumes from above.
And in the toxic Undercity, where children play in chemically-tainted puddles and industrial waste poisons the air, Cipher works tirelessly to transform his home's suffering into strength. Armed with his [Ready Player One] ability to adapt technologies and skills from different dimensions - particularly from the Apex world - he channels this knowledge into innovations that promise to turn Zaun's poisoned air into valuable resources, offering both jobs and hope to thousands of desperate citizens.
But Zaun's transformation is as much about family as it is about progress.
Caught between Vander's traditional values and Silco's ruthless vision for change, Cipher navigates complex loyalties that run thicker than blood. While Silco offers power through his newly developed drug Shimmer, and Vander fights to maintain stability, their conflict forces Cipher to choose between different visions of progress - and different definitions of family.

Well written! This is a gem in the recently formed sea of AI trash on webnovel. I am looking forward to more chapters![img=update][img=update][img=update]
Please continue this story I love it hope to see more chapters
So far (six chapters) it's good, I liked the idea and the story is fluid, just the writing that sometimes feels bit off. 4 stars!
AI slop. Nuff said......................................................................................................................................
this fic is so good I binged read it and I NEED MOREE (respectfully)
A 9/10. So far this ff is great. Honestly better than most of the arcane garbage I see in this app. I’ve read till the latest chapter and the only complain is that I want more. The writing quality is really good. Only improvement I could suggest would be better analysing other characters thoughts and feelings in one scene. The direction of development is also good. I like how things are going. Keep it up. If this is a translation you’ve done a good job on translating cause I can’t tell if it is one. And if you actually wrote this, hats off mate, well done.
