In the neon-drenched, rain-slicked streets of Neo-Kyoto, a disillusioned former mecha pilot, Kaito, is haunted by the ghosts of his past. A corporate war cost him his arm and his will to fight, leaving him to languish in the underbelly of the city, scraping by with black market tech mods. But when a mysterious data-chip containing the schematics for a legendary, chrome-laced Leviathan-class mecha falls into his possession, Kaito is dragged back into the world he desperately tried to escape.
This Leviathan is more than just a machine of war; it’s a symbol of rebellion, a beacon of hope for the oppressed masses living under the iron fist of the omnipotent OmniCorp. With OmniCorp’s relentless enforcers, cyborg assassins, and colossal mecha on his tail, Kaito must forge an uneasy alliance with a renegade netrunner and a grizzled mecha mechanic. Together, they must resurrect the slumbering giant and master its power before OmniCorp can unleash its own devastating weapon and crush the burgeoning resistance for good. “Chrome-Laced Leviathan” is a high-octane cyberpunk saga of redemption, rebellion, and the enduring power of the human spirit in a world of steel and circuits.
