In the shadow-soaked alleys of a city where memories are both currency and weapon, burned-out detective Maxwell Hartwell is known for his unique immunity to memory extraction, a trait that marks him as both an asset and an outcast. When enigmatic Elena Voss approaches him to investigate the murder of Victor Kane, a top memory trader renowned for his ruthless ambition, Max is drawn into a web of deceit that permeates the highest echelons of society. Max's investigation leads him deep into the underbelly of the memory trade, where human experiences are bought and sold to the highest bidder, altering personalities and histories at will. As he navigates this dangerous landscape, he's forced to contend with his former partner, Detective Sarah Lim, who walks a thin line between law enforcement and moral compromise. Throughout his journey, Max is aided by the Archivist, a secretive figure who trades in illicit memories, providing Max with information that cannot be obtained by conventional means. As Max delves deeper into the mystery, he uncovers a disturbing truth: Victor Kane's death is merely the surface of a much larger conspiracy that threatens to topple the precarious balance of power within the city. His investigation reveals a sinister plot to control the memory market, orchestrated by figures that blur the line between friend and foe. Haunted by fragments of his own inaccessible past, Max must navigate through layers of betrayal and manipulation, confronting painful truths about himself and those he once trusted. The closer he gets to solving the murder, the more entangled he becomes in a struggle for power that will define the future of memory itself. With the city on the brink of chaos, Max is faced with a choice that will not only determine his own fate but also the fate of a society where memories can be rewritten at will. As alliances shift and secrets are unearthed, Max must decide whether to continue protecting a world that has forsaken him or forge a new path that could lead to redemption—or ruin.

Liu Wen, a young woman from a modest town, arrives in the city with nothing but a dream and her tenacious work ethic. Working tirelessly in a high-rise office by day and studying for her business degree by night, she aims to prove that success can be built brick by brick.

Through late-night conversations in hidden cafés and chance meetings in crowded subway cars, they discover a shared dream of something more profound than money and fame.

Elliot Crane was an ordinary office worker—another cog in the corporate machine, living a life of mind-numbing routine. That is, until a tragic accident (or was it?) sends him spiraling into a brutal, neon-lit cyberpunk dystopia where the line between man and machine blurs. Armed with a snarky, ever-present System that doles out absurd missions and even more absurd rewards, Elliot must fight his way through gang wars, corporate conspiracies, and seductive femme fatales—all while trying to uncover why he was brought to this world in the first place. The kicker? Each mission completed doesn’t just make him stronger—it brings him closer to erotic encounters with the dangerous, alluring women of the cyberpunk underworld. But the stakes are high, and the bullets fly faster than the quips from his System. In a city where betrayal is currency and desire is a weapon, Elliot will have to fight hard, think fast, and maybe, just maybe, survive long enough to find the truth.

And where once there was only cold survival, something new begins to bloom—warm, alive, and therefore dangerous.
