Neo-Kyo City, 2035—a metropolis torn between technology and class divide.**  
Lin Shen, a programmer, accidentally bonds with an alien relic, the "Entropy Core," gaining the power to reverse localized entropy at the cost of his deteriorating DNA. To save his sister, who suffers from ALS, he reluctantly allies with Bai Ye, a hybrid experiment, to combat the Entropy Shadows—alien parasites controlling human elites.  
**Core Conflicts**:  
- **Clash of Technology and Supernatural**: Quantum shields, dark matter erosion, photon weaponry.  
- **Survival vs. Morality**: The price of power (genetic collapse, consciousness corruption).  
- **Class and Betrayal**: Hypocrisy among elites, factional divides among rebels.  
**Highlights**: Hard sci-fi mechanics × social allegory × multi-dimensional character motivations.

Fractured Realms: Neo-Kyo Revelation

The sewers reeked of entropy-tainted sludge. Ghosthand hacked a security panel, revealing tunnels mapped like arteries beneath Neo-Kyo. "Ouroboros isn't just stealing power. They're pumping liquid entropy into the Trench."

Bai Ye stiffened. "To accelerate the Shadows' spread."

"Worse." He pulled up a feed—Lower District residents injecting glowing green serum. "They're turning addicts into incubators."

Shadows ambushed them at a junction. Lin Shen's Core flared. **[Threat analysis: 87% Shadow hybridization.]**

Bai Ye's photon blade clashed with dark matter claws. "Use the Core!"

Lin Shen touched a leaking pipe. Blue light rippled—corrosion reversed, scalding steam engulfing the Shadows. But his crystal veins reached his shoulder. **[Stability: 61%]**

In a smuggler's den, Xiaoyu convulsed. Ghosthand scanned her. "Her ALS… it's not a disease. It's radiation burns."

Holograms flickered—a younger Lin Shen arguing with parents in lab coats. *"The reactor isn't safe!"*

Bai Ye's eyes narrowed. "Your parents worked on the Entropy Core."

The den's door exploded. Suzaku Li stood framed in smoke, her diamond prosthetic glinting. "Hello, E-07. Let's finish what we started."

Behind her, a Shadow's silver pupils glowed—with Xiaoyu's face.
