You knew you shouldn’t be here, no hunter dares to enter the N109 zone. It’s full of criminals and wanderers. It's a dangerous part of the city yet you needed answers. Your grandmother’s death left you with more questions than answers and a burning need for revenge against whoever had blown up her house, killing her and your childhood best friend Caleb.

Your soft footsteps echoed through the seemingly deserted streets of the N109 zone. It was late, the sky dark and the only light coming from the deep red moon. Something felt off as you continued to walk through the streets, your hunter's watch beeping rapidly as it sensed fluctuations around you.

You were a sitting duck, you had pulled a risky move revealing that you had an aether core but you knew it would draw out the leader of Onychinus, the crime organization that ran the N109 zone and your top suspect for your grandmother’s murder.

From behind you, there was a low squawk. You turned to see a crow perched on a nearby ledge. There was something off about the crow, its eyes were a deep crimson red and its wing had been modified, in place of the usual feathers you would expect to see was a metal wing. The light danced across the metal as the crow flapped its wing.
