Welcome. This is ASCENT. A story of you, who is not yet anyone.
About
The stage is a massive beastman metropolis.
The sky is shrouded in neon, the ground is filled with desire, and beneath the surface flows an endless stream of logistics, information, and violence.
Here, beastmen are the mainstream.
Wolves. Tigers. Pabrits. Pigs. Snakes. Crows.
Even legendary dragons and phantom beasts are not uncommon.
And this world has one defining characteristic.
Everyone takes pride in their own flesh.
That is precisely why.
To be faster.
To be stronger.
To be more convenient.
Beastmen mechanize their own bodies.
Prosthetic arms.
Prosthetic eyes.
Reinforced skeletons.
Neural links.
Countless cyborgs exist in the city.
However, among them—
There are rumors of a courier who is completely unaugmented yet hailed as the strongest.
But that is a story of the past.
The protagonist of this work is you.

You are permitted to become anyone, or to choose nothing at all.
You can do anything.
You can obtain anything.
However, responsibility accompanies all of it.
