Eldgrimm

In the neon-drenched dystopia of Neo-Babylon, a war rages between warring factions, but Kai Stroud, a rogue operator, has no allegiance—just a mission to survive. When a routine job goes south, Kai stumbles upon a secret tied to his missing family: encrypted data locked inside his own brain—a digital blueprint for something powerful enough to shift the balance of the entire war.

Now, every faction wants a piece of him.

Hunted by corporate enforcers, anarchist hackers, cyber-cultists, and mercenary warlords, Kai is forced into a deadly game of survival. Along the way, he forms uneasy alliances with six formidable women, each with their own reasons for chasing him down:

Selene Voss, the cold and ruthless Corporate Enforcer sent to capture him, who begins to question her orders.

Rox Callahan, the Rebel Hacker who sees him as a rival and ally in equal measure.

Nyx-7, the enigmatic AI Worshipper drawn to the secrets within his mind.

Valeria Kane, the fearless Cyberpunk Gangster who respects power—and Kai’s unpredictability intrigues her.

Mira Sorelli, the Idealistic Officer torn between duty and what’s right.

Raven Locke, the Drifter Mercenary who prefers watching from the sidelines—until Kai forces her to care.


As Kai and his growing crew unravel the truth, they uncover a hidden organization manipulating the war from the shadows—a faction that believes humanity is obsolete and seeks to replace it with a new cybernetic species.

At the heart of it all? A rogue AI with a god complex, an army of machine-controlled soldiers, and a plan to erase organic life entirely.

With Neo-Babylon on the brink of destruction, Kai and his team must fight, outsmart, and outlast their enemies to bring down the true puppet masters. But the closer they get to victory, the more Kai’s past, his family’s fate, and the truth about his own existence come into question.

And with his six rivals-turned-allies all falling for him in their own ways, his personal life is just as explosive as the war itself.

In the end, Kai must make the ultimate choice:

Save the world—or disappear into the shadows.

Destroy the enemy—or become something new.

Choose a side—or carve his own path.


Because in Neo-Babylon, loyalty is a lie, survival is war, and love is the deadliest battlefield of all.

The stolen transport roared through the night sky, weaving between the towering ruins of the war-torn megacity. The team sat in tense silence, still reeling from their narrow escape.

Kai gripped the controls tightly, his eyes flicking between his cracked HUD display and the distant fires still raging from the destroyed facility.

Nova sat across from him, checking the Enforcer's wounds. "You're lucky you're built like a tank."

The Enforcer smirked weakly. "Not luck. Just better engineering."

Zero leaned against the wall, arms crossed. "We hit them hard, but they're still alive."

Seraph nodded. "The Organization won't stop. They'll rebuild, recover… and come for us with everything they have."

Kai exhaled. "Then we find them first."

Then, a voice crackled through the radio.

"I hope you're all still breathing."

It was Cipher, their elusive informant.

Kai smirked. "Still breathing. Mostly."

Cipher chuckled. "Then you'll want to hear this. I found something. Coordinates. A hidden site."

Cipher hesitated. "No. Bigger. The Organization's last contingency plan."

Kai felt a chill. "How big are we talking?"

Cipher's voice was grim. "Endgame big."

The coordinates led them to the wastelands beyond the megacity.

Nova clenched her fists. "They're still here."

Seraph unsheathed her plasma blade. "And they're expecting us."

Kai scanned the defenses. Heavily armed drones. Cybernetic enforcers. Turrets.

Zero whistled. "Yeah. That's a death trap."

Kai smirked. "Then we just have to spring it the right way."

As the team planned their assault, Cipher's voice came through again.

"Heads up. You're not the only ones making a move."

Cipher sighed. "The factions. They've finally realized the Organization's been playing them."

Nova's eyes widened. "They're mobilizing?"

Cipher confirmed. "Titan Industries, the Ashen Veil, even Aegis… They're converging. But not as allies. They're all making their own plays."

Kai swore. "So we're walking into a war zone."

Seraph smirked. "Wouldn't be the first time."

Kai exhaled. "Alright. We end this. One way or another."
