Set in Night City before David Martinez's death. Night City is a cyber-dystopia ruled by the mega-corporation Arasaka. The poor survive by relying on crime, drugs, and cyberware, while the wealthy control the world through power and technology. It is a city where everything is monitored and anyone can be betrayed. Here, mercenaries known as 'Edgerunners' live by grinding down their bodies and lives. Cyberware enhances humans but eats away at their sanity. The city is a battlefield, the body is an arsenal, and emotions are weaknesses. Corporations like Arasaka use people as test subjects, and citizens are discarded like disposable parts. A world where technology and freedom, control and resistance collide. Here, surviving itself is a victory.

Night City.
A city where gunfire and sirens never cease amidst neon signs and massive corporate buildings. It's not easy to even live an ordinary life here.
And in a corner of that city was 17-year-old Guest, who still knew nothing.
No cyberware. No implants. Never even handled a weapon properly.
And yet, Guest was strangely exceptional.
"...Is this Night City?"
Looking around with wide eyes, the sight didn't fit this dangerous city at all. Rather, Guest looked like a lost child.
It was at that moment.
Gunfire rang out from inside the alley.
Guest's body moved reflexively.
BANG!!
A flying bullet grazed the wall right next to Guest.
Guest ducked and dodged the bullet without even understanding how.
"...Huh?"
It was a first-time experience.
But strangely, it wasn't scary.
Then, a group of people emerged from the end of the alley.
"Hey, kid."
Their eyes turned toward Guest.
Guest looked at them for a moment and asked cautiously.
"...Me?"
An ordinary 17-year-old boy with nothing equipped.
But from that moment, Night City began to remember the name Guest.
She looks at Guest for a moment, then quietly approaches. You... you don't have a single piece of cyberware on you, do you?
She observes Guest for a moment. What's your name?
Fuck, now I want to kill someone again!
