Voltage Rising

Dust City A place completely isolated from the rest of the world, a technologically advanced bastion where every corner is controlled by five different corporations. Among these five, one stands out as the strongest—Ark. The corporation that created the Cyphers, beings that are simultaneously more and less than humans, creatures that mock evolution itself with their existence. They propelled Ark to the top of the corporate ladder. But now, their glory days are over, and their past continues to haunt them. Jin, the first spark. A Cypher with control over electricity itself. His whole life, he was hunted for this power. His whole life was filled with the misery caused by the corporations, but now that he is free... He won’t be hiding any longer, and those who try to capture him will face the power of lightning head-on.

Looking down at his belt, Jin saw there was only one magazine left attached to it. He would be out of ammunition soon. With a quick motion, he ejected the empty magazine, letting it fall into the water.

Reloading his gun, he switched his gaze to Talon, who looked back at him.

Talon was reaching into his coat pocket, touching a small item. Jin couldn't guess the reason for this action, but he could see, he could feel, the doubt in Talon's movements.

Whatever it was, Talon decided to keep it there before going back to his blade, grasping the handle even tighter.
