Voltage Rising

Dust City A place completely isolated from the rest of the world, a technologically advanced bastion where every corner is controlled by five different corporations. Among these five, one stands out as the strongest—Ark. The corporation that created the Cyphers, beings that are simultaneously more and less than humans, creatures that mock evolution itself with their existence. They propelled Ark to the top of the corporate ladder. But now, their glory days are over, and their past continues to haunt them. Jin, the first spark. A Cypher with control over electricity itself. His whole life, he was hunted for this power. His whole life was filled with the misery caused by the corporations, but now that he is free... He won’t be hiding any longer, and those who try to capture him will face the power of lightning head-on.

After the events in the tenth district, Silas and Jin managed to escape with their lives, albeit just barely.

Both sustained injuries during the raid that required time to heal.

This was especially difficult for Jin, who was bedridden for at least two weeks.

Using not just his lightning but also his trump card had cost him dearly.

"There's no way! You're already 21… really?!" Silas asked in disbelief as he walked beside Jin.

The two were deep in an important conversation.

"Is it such a big problem that I haven't drunk that stuff yet?" Jin doubted Silas, who wanted to pay him back with a drink. Jin had never consumed alcohol up to this point.

"Of course it is! Have you ever been living?" Silas exclaimed.

"Silas, you're just an alcoholic. I don't know what else to tell you," Jin stated with a straight face. Silas's grin only widened, stretching from ear to ear.
