Clone Seeker

Ciel Adams is a Fourth Stage Esper from the now destroyed last stronghold of humanity; Bastion City. The city had survived long past the dreaded Judgment Day, a day when The Eternal Flames suddenly engulfed the world and the ghastly Fallen descended. This day also became the catalyst for a new era of the world, one where there is a surge in supernatural activities as well as the emergence of many monster races. These aberrations now threaten humanity from within while The Fallen do so from beyond the great dome of Bastion. However, despite humanity's bitter struggle, Bastion city was unable to prevent its destruction. Ciel, along with what remained of humanity, found himself beaten and all but defeated. Desperate to change such an end, Ciel deploys one of the few tricks left at his disposal, that being his ability to manifest each of The Major Arcana Cards into the real world and using this, he successfully regresses to the past.      However due to his unstable power his soul fails to withstand the arduous journey back and shatters into twenty two pieces. These pieces each represent a major arcana card which have been given shape as clones. Now awakening within a broken state, and lacking all the power which he once held, Ciel is faced with the arduous task of not only saving the dreaded future which awaits humanity, but of helping his previous mentor. All the while, he must also take it upon himself to seek out and hunt the clones of him with the goal of regaining his past power and obtaining a complete soul once more. Such a task will not be easy for each clone is ready and willing to engage in a bloody battle for survival.   While Ciel is occupied attempting to complete the daunting tasks set before him, his previous mentor has already started her new life as an Officer of the NSRA, the agency responsible for the eradication of monsters within Bastion…  Just how will these two fates collide?     What to expect:  [Weak to Strong] [Two POV’s] [Futuristic City] [Supernatural] [Action] [Monsters] [Apocalyptic Setting] [Slow Burn]

CyberPunk: Low-Life, High Tech

"Greetings, chromed crusaders and organic oddities! Welcome to Night City—where the neon’s brighter than your future, the smog’s 40% carcinogens and 60% shattered dreams, and your survival strategy boils down to evading landlords and lead poisoning. Corporations? They’re auctioning your aspirations at a 300% markup—conveniently bundled with lifetime debt! Gangs? Hosting turf wars like community theater—tonight’s performance: Kabuki Carnage (sponsored by Maelstrom™). And Trauma Team? Let’s just say their motto’s ‘Resuscitation Pending’—pending your premium tier, of course. Strap on your subdermal armor, choke down that soy-paste ‘gourmet’ experience, and cross your fingers your neuralware doesn’t critical error during today’s mandatory firefight. Spoiler alert: it will. Tune in for updates, tune out the screams, or get systematically optimized—your obituary airs right after these messages. Stan out!” Translation Note: Now, listen up, choombas—this here’s a fresh take on "赛博朋克: 2075" from Qidian, a’right? Big shouts to SrMagnus for thier killer version, Cyberpunk: The Relentless (seriously, go read it—preem stuff). But I figured the ol’ girl could use a bit more ripperdoc grit in her veins, yeah? More scalpels, more synth-leather creak, more of that "oh-shite-my-spleen’s-out" charm Night City’s famous for. Sláinte to the OG, and here’s to bleedin’ new edges on the blade. And hey - if you've got thoughts, toss 'em my way. Feedback's always welcome, long as it's not written in bullet holes.... or soya milk, that shite just tastes wrong. [Cover art is not my own—just borrowing it for the ride. Original artist, if you’re out there and want it pulled, shoot me a message and consider it done. No drama, just professional courtesy. Cheers!]
