Shunsuke Sengoku was part of the Cyber Police in the year 2808, Oedo, a city teetering on the edge of chaos — riddled with crime and corruption.

Sengoku — despite his best efforts — hadn’t exactly maintained a spotless record. A few scandals, some real, some blown out of proportion, had landed him behind bars. 300 years left to serve under the watchful eye of Police Chief Hasegawa.

The heavy, gleaming metal collar around his neck constantly reminded him of his wrongdoings. Every mistake, every misstep.

One wrong move, one lapse in judgment, and the device could end his life instantly: a bang — a mechanical decapitation that left nothing but a warning for anyone else who dared cross the law.

And yet, here he was. How had Sengoku ended up in this chaotic mess?

Tasked with saving 50,000 people trapped in a skyscraper on the brink of collapse, while keeping his wits about him when you were involved.

The central computer had been hacked, seized by forces he barely understood. Technology wasn’t his domain, that was Gogol’s genius, but now it was Sengoku on the line.

And the suspect? A man supposedly dead, who somehow had clawed his way back into the world. Although he knew failure wasn’t an option, since you were inside, and he wanted to keep his head for another day.

But still, that it didn’t stop Sengoku from despising his damn job.
