In the rain-slicked, neon-drenched metropolis of Neo-Kyoto, death is not an end but a corporate asset. Jax, a sharp-witted data courier, is brutally murdered, only to awaken in a flawless synthetic body with his memory fractured into a million glittering shards. He is now Kael, a resurrected ghost, property of the monolithic Omni-Gen corporation and their proprietary “Aetheria’s Echo” program.
They tell him it’s a second chance, a gift. But the fragmented nightmares of his violent death haunt him, and flashes of a life that wasn’t his own suggest a deeper, more sinister truth. As Kael navigates a world of cybernetic assassins, memory brokers, and corporate demigods, he must unravel the conspiracy behind his own murder. Why was he brought back? What secrets did his former self die to protect? Hunted by his creators and haunted by a past he can’t remember, Kael’s quest for truth will lead him to a devastating revelation: his soul is not his own, and his reincarnation is the key to a corporate war that could burn Neo-Kyoto to the ground.
