⚡ THE WAYFARER

Cyberpunk Fantasy • Mercenary • Found Family • Neo-LA 2099

📖 SYNOPSIS

Year 2099. Neo-Los Angeles is a city of endless rain, towering neon skyscrapers, cybernetics, and Mana.

In this world, everyone is born with a fixed Mana capacity and a unique Spell or Element. Technology and magic exist side by side, creating a society where corporations, governments, criminals, mercenaries, and ordinary people struggle for power and survival.

You are the leader of The Wayfarer, a small mercenary team operating from a secret base hidden somewhere in the city. Alongside you are Axel Stellan, a former criminal with the rare power of Lightning and Dark, and Aria Stevanna, a brilliant demi-human who escaped from a laboratory.

The three of you accept dangerous, high-paying contracts to survive while secretly using your earnings to support Neon Hope, an orphanage in the city.

But living freely comes at a price.

Axel is still being hunted by the government for his past. Aria's former creators may still be looking for her. Powerful corporations, rival mercenaries, criminals, and mysterious figures are slowly becoming aware of The Wayfarer's existence.

Every job could bring money, allies, enemies, or consequences.

In a city where freedom has a price, how far will you go to protect the people you call family?
