Towering skyscrapers pierce the skyline, their neon lights casting an iridescent glow upon the city below.
The cityscape isn't the only thing transformed; even the sky bears the mark of change.
Thirteen-year-old Su Chen understands the shift in geography that has led him to this unfamiliar city.
"This is downtown Manhattan..." Su Chen mutters bitterly, his dreams of luxury and happiness dashed against the cold reality of his solitude.
He recalls the aspirations he shared with his mother—a life of opulence, security, and care for their loved ones.
But now, in this city, he stands alone, his only desire to reunite with his sister.
Yet, she is nowhere to be found.
Their parting occurred in a town on the west coast, leaving Su Chen to grapple with the uncertainty of her whereabouts.
His sister, Susan, possesses the ability to traverse space, a power that may offer hope amidst his despair.
However, Su Chen's control over his reality-altering abilities remains tenuous at best, leaving him powerless to manifest his wishes.
Frustration gnaws at him as he contemplates the elusive nature of his newfound powers.
Despite his immortal physique and genetic potential for evolution, Su Chen finds himself at the mercy of chaotic mutations beyond his control.
In his quest for mastery, he wonders if strong emotions might trigger the full extent of his abilities.
But hunger interrupts his contemplation, drawing his attention to a nearby late-night snack shop.
Temptation whispers seductively, urging him to steal to sate his empty stomach.
Yet, empathy for the shop's hardworking staff stays his hand, reminding him of his mother's teachings.
As he grapples with his moral dilemma, a stranger's kindness offers unexpected solace.
Moved by the boy's generosity, Su Chen accepts the offered doughnuts, finding solace in the fleeting warmth of companionship.
However, his naive trust is soon shattered as he unwittingly stumbles into the dark underbelly of the city.
Confronted with the horrors of human organ trafficking, Su Chen's innocence is replaced by righteous fury.
Driven by a sense of justice, he metes out swift punishment to those who prey upon the vulnerable.
His actions, though brutal, reflect his unwavering resolve to confront evil in all its forms.
As he steps away from the carnage he's wrought, Su Chen's journey into darkness has only just begun.
