Synopsis
Hey you, yes you. The one behind the fourth wall. Let me tell you a secret: AT NIGHT, I BECOME A KILLING MACHINE In the neon-lit underbelly of Neo Arcadia, Mira is more than just an advanced android—she’s a rising star in the high-stakes world of grav ball. But after a seemingly innocent night date leads to a catastrophic memory wipe, she finds herself waking up each morning with no recollection of the night before. As strange phenomena manifest within her body, Mira struggles to piece together the fragments of her life while grappling with the sinister secrets lurking in the shadows of the city. With the prestigious Guardian Course on the horizon, promising enhancements and elite training to combat the escalating crime wave, Mira must confront the truth behind her blackout nights. As she races against time to reclaim her identity, she discovers a conspiracy that could unravel not just her existence, but the very fabric of society itself. Will Mira unlock the mysteries of her past before her next match—or will she become a pawn in a game far larger than she ever imagined? In a world where humanity and technology intertwine, trust is a luxury she can’t afford, and every choice could lead to her ultimate downfall. Tags: LitRPG, cyberpunk, sci fi

Chapter 1 - Prologue Video Diary

Opening Scene:

The camera flickers on, catching shaky footage of a dimly lit room. The girl adjusts the lens, her face filling the frame. She's young, with pink short, choppy hair, and her glowing green eyes contrast against her otherwise human-like appearance. Her voice is a little distorted, as if the camera's microphone is struggling to keep up with the technology it wasn't built for.

Girl (sighing):

"Okay, wow. This thing is ancient. I can't believe people actually used these… back in 2077."

She squints at the camera, her fingers fumbling with a small compartment in the back.

"I mean, where even is the battery supposed to go? Oh, here it is."

After a brief pause, a satisfied click is heard, and the camera stabilizes.

She sits back on a metal stool, glancing into the lens with a mix of frustration and unease.

Girl:

"Alright, this is for… well, me. Future me, if I even make it that far. I'm… I'm starting to lose track of things."

Her hand hovers over her neck, where faint seams of her synthetic skin catch the light.

"Something's happening to my body. My… android body. During the day, everything's fine. Normal, I guess. But at night…"

She pauses, her eyes lowering as if unsure how to continue. A long, tense breath follows.

Girl (voice lower):

"At night, I become something else. A… killing machine of sorts. Just the other day I...I mean you do watch the news right. That pink panther thing..."

Her hands tighten into fists, shaking slightly.

Girl (whispering):

"I don't remember what happens, but every morning there's signs on my hands… and body. I know it's me. I can feel it."

She stares directly into the camera now, her voice steady but edged with fear.

Girl:

"This is my warning. If you see this, future me… find a way to stop it before it's too late."

She smiles bitterly

She reaches toward the camera, her fingers brushing the lens, before the screen goes black.
