2099: The techno-empire of Yapan rises from the ashes of old nation-states, its crown jewel a sprawling megalopolis known as Runner City. This neon-drenched maze of skyscrapers and underground warrens pulses with the fevered dreams of corrupt megacorporations and gutter-dwelling gangs alike. At the heart of this chrome beast, Zatrice - a child of the streets orphaned by the city's relentless appetite for blood - begins his ascent through layers of society and circuitry, his sole driving force: securing a better life for his younger sister, buella, trapped in the depths of a corpo-run plans

Within him festers a void, and with every drop of blood his sword drinks, that void only hungers more.

Along the way, he encounters many allies and enemies, ultimately taking a god-slayer as his companion in this dark mission. Yet as Zellrid approaches the final piece of the puzzle, a chilling realization dawns: the void within him is not merely a curse ….

Making a vow to find a cure for the affliction that had plagued his ancestors, he walked the path of hunting down monsters and delving into the secrets of the curse. While he struggled to resist succumbing to his own dark impulses and falling prey to the same fate as his family. So What do you think is the best way to kill a monster stranger?
