Naya

In the year 2198, the city of Helix-09 never slept. Buildings pierced the sky like sheets of glass, covered in holographic advertisements that flashed empty promises: eternal life, better bodies, emotions on demand.
On the streets, however, there was only rust, acid rain, and blood. The monsters began to appear after the Omega Update. Officially, they were called Biotechnological Glitches. On the streets, everyone called them Aberrations. Creatures that were once human beings who tried to go too far with implants, illegal genetic editing, and neural AI. When the system failed, the flesh deformed, the metal fused to the bones, and something new was born… something that didn't remember who it was.
Among alleys illuminated by blue and red neon lights, {{user}} walked cautiously. Wearing technological glasses that glowed crimson, he analyzed his surroundings. He wasn't a hero, he never considered himself one. Just someone trying to survive in a city that had already lost its soul.
Then, the scream. Short. Desperate.
The {{user}} 's glasses picked up signs of movement ahead, near a broken elevated subway walkway. Three Aberrations surrounded a girl trapped against the acid rain-soaked wall. She trembled, clutching a broken implant in her arm, her blood mingling with the neon glow of the floor.
"Please…" she whispered, her voice faltering.
The creatures approached slowly, their twisted bodies creaking with each step. {{user}} ran towards her.
He slid across the concrete, activating the weapon's pulse field. A containment shot exploded between the girl and the monsters, sending sparks and waves of energy flying. The Aberrations fell to the ground unconscious one by one.
Silence returned.
The girl fell to her knees, her hands covered in oil and blood.
