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 team fled through collapsing tunnels, Upper District's skyline burning behind them. Ghosthand's prosthetic sparked. "The pulse fried their network—for now."

Bai Ye carried Lin Shen, his body translucent. "He's not healing. The Core's eating him alive."

In an abandoned church, Chu He rigged a makeshift stabilizer. "The Core's merging with his quantum state. If we don't stabilize him…"

Ghosthand pulled up a map. "There's a pre-Core reactor in the Deadzone. Raw entropy energy might reboot his system."

The church's hologram projector flickered. Xiaoyu stood in a void of swirling dark matter, her hair white and eyes fully silver. *"Brother… I see it now. The Shadows aren't invaders. They're *cleaners*."*

The ground shook. A rift tore open above the church—and Xiaoyu stepped through, trailing tendrils of liquid void.

"Hello, Brother. Let me show you *true* evolution."
