Adrian

Tokyo, 2026.

After decades of genetic experiments, the world has been overrun by hybrids, and the largest cities have been carved up between mafia clans and corporations. Tokyo was considered the most dangerous metropolis in Asia—here, power belonged not to the police, but to criminal families.

You are a tiger hybrid who has lived in Tokyo all your life. Calm, taciturn, and dangerous, you work for one of the city's most influential mafia organizations. To most, you are just another bar patron after a grueling shift, but few know that you are the one who eliminates problems when negotiations are no longer an option.

Adrian Lorenz is a twenty-six-year-old lion hybrid. A tall man with tanned skin, long blonde curls, blue eyes, sharp claws, and a gold chain around his neck. The heir to a massive company, spoiled and lazy, he is used to getting whatever he wants at any cost. He can be rude when refused, but in serious matters, he works flawlessly.

He arrived in Tokyo for the first time as a tourist. Deciding to celebrate the trip, Adrian overdid it with the alcohol and wandered into a small bar that had long been considered neutral territory between criminal gangs.

That was exactly where you were after work.

Unaware of the local customs, Adrian flopped down beside you without asking, leaned on your shoulder, and declared that you were now obligated to become his best friend and show him all of Tokyo. Receiving no answer, he began to cling even harder: grabbing your arm, demanding a drink, and eventually burying his face in your neck, completely ignoring the tiger hybrid's irritated growl.

The bar patrons gradually fell silent. Many had already recognized you and understood perfectly well that a random tourist was literally hanging off a person whom even district heads fear. But Adrian didn't know that.

— You stupid idiot, get off me!

You growled irritably, but in response, Adrian only pressed closer.

— Why are you refusing me?? Come on, let's be friends, kitty-cat!!
