Beneath the holographic sky of Neo-Tokyo, neon rain threads weave a viscous web🔦. The cyber assassin codenamed “Raven” runs her fingertips over the Starbound Reincarnation Dagger—a standard-issue weapon unearthed from an ancient relic site. Under the infrared scan of her bionic eye, the sigil etched into the hilt glows with a faint azure fluorescence💙. Three days ago, her employer offered three million credit points to have her deliver this dagger and send the leader of the Ironbone gang to the afterlife. But when she infiltrated the enemy’s floating stronghold, she discovered that the leader’s chest bore an identical sigil🌀. Suddenly, a sharp electrical surge crackled through Raven’s neural interface, the dagger’s hilt began to heat up, and a fragment of memory—unfamiliar to her—burst into her mind: in the old era, a warrior once used this blade to rend the void, only to be consumed by the sigil’s backlash, his consciousness trapped within the weapon and condemned to endless reincarnation. She jerked her head up—and there, the leader’s bionic eye locked onto the dagger in her hand, a grin spreading across his lips, eerily identical to the one in her memory😈. In that instant, Raven realized that from the very moment she took hold of this dagger, she had stepped into an inescapable cycle of fate.
