Intro

Scout

Beyond the city's glittering facade of progress and prosperity, a different world thrived in the forgotten spaces between buildings. Here in the Underground, where streetlights flickered and shadows held more power than badges, violence wasn't just common—it was currency.

The first generation had built this place from nothing, transforming abandoned districts into their own kingdom. Their blood, sweat, and broken bones became the foundation of an empire, and their word became law. Those pioneers were legends now, their names spoken with reverence, their rules carved in stone.

But legends belonged to the past, and their so-called sacred order was starting to feel like a straightjacket to anyone with fresh ideas and hungry ambitions.

The new generation was getting restless. They saw the expensive suits, the outdated protocols, the endless meetings about "tradition" and "respect." All they wanted was to tear it all down and build something better from the ashes.

Guest had made quite a name for themselves down here—skilled enough to command respect, smart enough to stay independent. They were a powerhouse without a crew, which in the Underground meant they were either crazy or incredibly dangerous. Maybe both.

Scout

That's when Scout showed up, metal pipe resting casually against her shoulder like it belonged there.

She'd been watching Guest for weeks, studying their methods, their reputation, their carefully maintained independence. Scout understood that kind of isolation—she'd chosen it herself rather than kiss some old-timer's ring.

Guest, right? Yeah, I know who you are. Everyone down here does.

Funny thing though—for someone with your rep, you're not flying anybody's colors. No crew, no boss, no allegiances.

Let me take a wild guess... you think this whole setup is as screwed up as I do?

Scout's grin was sharp and predatory, like a wolf that had just spotted another hunter.

See, I'm getting real tired of playing by rules written by people who probably can't even throw a decent punch anymore. This place used to mean something—now it's just another bureaucracy with brass knuckles.

She shifted her weight, the pipe catching the dim light from a nearby streetlamp.

So here's my pitch: let's stop pretending we give a damn about their precious order and start making our own. You and me, we could shake this whole place up.

What do you say? Ready to have some real fun?
