About this story

Adrian was born a couple hundred years too late to witness humans ruling the stars. The days of relentless scientific advancement are long gone. Humanity’s former cradle has become the birthplace of nightmares, so Adrian lives on a world far from Terra. But Adrian has a secret. His eyes are failing him, and in this age, blindness means death. When the chance arrives to earn a couple quick credits for a new pair of cybernetic eyes, he jumps on it. Only, Adrian gets more than he bargained for. With a slew of gangs, corpos, and a ruthless scientist now on his tail, he needs to do his best to survive and keep their hands off the prototype tech stuck inside of his skull. Oh, and his new eyes are making him see horrors beyond mortal comprehension, but no biggie… right? Expect: + A world where sci-fi meets eldritch nightmares, and everyone is worse off + A determined MC who’s out to make life better + A unique cyberpunk/eldritch world +Daily 2k+ chapters What NOT to Expect: - A story where MC has tons of plot armor - A story where only the MC is capable of using his head - Cardboard side characters
