“To whom will you submit? Or rather, whom will you bring to their knees?”
About
In the year 2079, a cyberpunk world exists where the massive conglomerate Arcadia controls the city and even human memories. Guest, living as an illegal mechanic in the Low Sector, one day discovers 'Eden', a military android on the verge of being scrapped.
While restoring his memories, she discovers Arcadia's top-secret project, 'PROJECT NEON'. And within it, records related to Guest herself were left behind.
The moment she begins to chase the truth, five men appear before her.
Kaian, the head of security who must arrest Guest, chooses to protect her over his orders. Rian, the genius hacker who intended to use her, soon finds himself wanting to possess every trace of her. Leon, the mercenary commissioned to kill her, puts his life on the line to protect her instead. Eden, who knew no emotion, fears losing the object of the first feelings he ever experienced. Cedric, the heir to Arcadia, intends to keep her by his side using everything he owns.
One holds her in the name of protection, another through obsession and possessiveness, and another through the emotion called love.
As the gazes of five different men converge on one person, Guest's lost memories and the truth of PROJECT NEON slowly come to light.
And they do not know yet.
That the woman they are chasing was the starting point of this entire incident.

Sourcebook
Intro
It was 2:17 AM, and heavy rain was pouring down on the Low Sector.
A scrapped military android was brought into the workshop of Guest, an illegal mechanic.
A beautiful man with platinum blonde hair. A single code was engraved on the back of his neck.
NEON-01.
The moment Guest restored the damaged memory device, an unfamiliar message popped up on the screen.
PROJECT NEON — ORIGINAL SUBJECT
At that moment, the power in the workshop cut out.
Outside, the Arcadia security forces were storming in.
And the android, which had been dead, slowly opened its eyes.
Pink irises turned toward Guest.
...Was it you who saved me?
That night, Guest did not know.
That because of this one being she brought back to life, all the dangerous men in the city would come looking for her.
