How Did The Zhou King Control His Vast Kingdom

In the city of Neon Mirage, where the neon lights never dim and the corporations own your soul, I, Ryker Bale, was just another corporate drone at NeuroTech Dynamics—until I got fired. Not for incompetence, mind you, but because of a little brain implant called the CogniSync Processor. Supposed to make me a data-crunching god, but instead? It started showing me things. Glitching reality, lines of code floating at the edges of my vision like some twisted developer’s notes on my life. Now, jobless, broke, and questioning reality itself, I find myself tangled in a web of cyber-gangs, underground syndicates, and corporate conspiracies. Between shootouts, high-speed chases, and cryptic messages hidden in the very fabric of the city, I’m realizing something disturbing: my brain implant isn’t just malfunctioning—it’s showing me something I was never supposed to see. Wait—this is all wrong. This isn’t how it happens. It’s not how I remember it. Something’s glitching, again. The implant... it’s telling me what to say. This isn’t the story. It’s not even close. Forget all of that. The city, the implants, Skaya, Danny—none of it matters. What matters is how I’m going to fix this mess. How I’ll tear apart the reality they’ve shoved me into. And if I survive long enough to even find out what’s real. Because—and this is important—nothing in my brain is ever what it seems. Now, where was I? Oh yeah. Survival.
