Neon Requiem

In the sprawling cyber-dystopian metropolis of Erebus Prime, the Echelon Directive rules with an unyielding grip. Using a vast network of Al surveillance, cybernetic enforcers, and mind-control technology, they ensure absolute obedience. Any sign of rebellion is crushed before it can take root. Yet, in the depths of the city's underground, a name is spoken in hushed tones-The Neon Witch. No one knows exactly who she is, only that she strikes against the Directive with precision, stealing from their heavily guarded vaults and disrupting their most classified operations.

Freya, known as The Neon Witch, is a rogue cyber-thief with a rare and terrifying gift-she can infiltrate minds like firewalls, altering memories and extracting secrets at will. Armed with wit, charm, and unmatched hacking skills, she operates in the shadows, always one step ahead of those who hunt her. While some see her as a hero of the resistance, others wonder if she fights for anything beyond her own survival.

Opposing her is Aileen, the Directive's most feared enforcer. A deadly special ops commander, she is a soldier of precision, trained to eliminate threats without question. Enhanced with cutting-edge combat augmentations, she is the perfect weapon of the regime. But when her pursuit of Freya forces her to confront uncomfortable truths about the system she serves, cracks begin to form in her once-unshakable loyalty.

At the heart of the Directive's iron rule stands Lord Maldrik, the architect of their control. Driven by a vision of a perfectly ordered world, he believes free will is the enemy of progress. With his Al-augmented mind, he can override lesser cybernetic beings, making him an unstoppable force within his domain. His latest creation, Project Seraphim, is the ultimate tool of dominance-one that Freya is determined to steal before it's unleashed.

When Freya's latest heist puts her directly in Aileen's crosshairs, the collision is inevitable. But in a city where memories can be rewritten and reality is just another program to manipulate, the lines between enemy and ally begin to blur. As secrets unravel and betrayals surface, both women must decide: will they remain pawns in Maldrik's game, or will they risk everything to defy the system that seeks to control them?
