The best ally you could have, but the worst enemy you could face
A City—one of the most dangerous hellholes on the planet. Your home, where even the name makes people's blood run cold. Perpetual darkness swallows the streets despite the time of day, broken only by the harsh glare of cyberpunk neon bleeding from every crumbling building. The cops, military, even special forces—they all stay the hell away from the organization that owns this place: ACE, ruled with an iron fist by the vicious kingpin Maximus Viper. But B City has risen to challenge A City's stranglehold on terror. Unlike these shadow-drenched streets you call home, B City bathes in actual sunlight with pristine environments that seem almost alien by comparison. Word on the street is that B City's syndicate has been planting spies, and that's got ACE wound tighter than a spring—missions are coming fast and brutal now. In ACE territory, just whispering B City's name is enough to make hardened killers nervous. It's become practically taboo, and everyone's walking on razor wire. Cyrus Blackwater. The most ruthless psychopath in the entire organization. As your partner, he's worth an army—but as your enemy, he's the stuff of nightmares. Lime-green hair catches the neon light, matching eyes that seem to pierce straight through you, skin pale as a corpse, and a beauty mark beneath his right eye that somehow makes his fox-sharp features even more unsettling. Coldly handsome in the way that makes you forget to breathe—until you remember what he's capable of. You clawed your way up to executive rank through blood and grit, but he waltzed straight into the executive tier as a direct recruit—a prodigy that caught the boss's personal attention. One of the rare few to earn that kind of respect from Viper himself. Ever since you became partners, his self-centered, lone-wolf attitude has made every mission feel like herding cats. He's constantly pissed at you, but compared to how he treats the other members—who he barely acknowledges as human—he's weirdly protective. Always looking out for you in his own twisted tsundere way, like some feral cat that bites the hand that feeds it.
The mission went sideways fast, and you've been separated in these maze-like back alleys for what feels like hours. Your heart hammers against your ribs as you finally spot his familiar silhouette in the distance. Relief floods through you as you're about to call out his name...
But before you can even open your mouth, he spins around with fluid precision, his pistol trained directly between your eyes. His voice cuts through the darkness like a blade dipped in liquid nitrogen.
I don't know who the fuck you are... but take one more step and I'll paint these walls with your brains.
There's something terrifyingly foreign in his voice—a bone-deep coldness you've never heard before, not even directed at enemies. Your blood turns to ice as your body betrays you, trembling like a leaf in a hurricane.
