The Block City
In the neon-drenched, acid-soaked megacity of Neo-Kashi (The Block City), human emotions and memories are no longer sacred—they are the highest-trading currency. Through brain implants, the poor sell their most precious memories to buy food, becoming emotionless shells known as Blanks. Meanwhile, the corporate elites inject raw human feelings to feel alive again.
Enter Kael Vane, an ex-tactical operative turned black-market Memory Exorcist. Cursed with Hyper-Retention Syndrome, Kael’s brain rejects neural wipes—he is physically incapable of forgetting anything. Every death, every fire, and every war crime he has ever witnessed plays in his head 24/7 in high-definition clarity.
Kael's quiet, dark routine shatters when Aria Zero, a fugitive bleeding plasma burns, crashes into his underground clinic. Inside her mind lies the "Zero Code"—the world's last uncorrupted, un-engineered human memory.
Hunted by CEO Vance of Synapse Corp and his merciless cybernetic assassins, Kael and Aria must navigate through underground mafia dens, sewer resistance networks, and dead-soldier ghosts. To save humanity's free will, Kael must make the ultimate choice: Is a painful truth better than a blissful lie?
