Neon Reckoning: Mana Renegade

By Big Cousin, Elden Cuz, Ning Ji

Magic isn't a gift. It's a subscription. And my account is empty. In the rain-soaked, neon-choked megalopolis of New Edo, magic is a corporate commodity-regulated, monetized, and lethal. Implant a Spine-Link, download a spell, and pay Arclight MegaCorp their "Mana-Tax." Miss a payment? Your neural pathways fry. Kai "Blink" Rainer is an 18-year-old scavenger scraping by in the Ashfall Slums. He can't afford even a basic light spell, let alone the power to rescue his abducted little sister, Lila, from Arclight's brutal labs. But a desperate fall into a forbidden pre-corporate ruin changes everything. Kai unearths a Primordial Rune Core-a relic that lets him steal, rewrite, and bypass Arclight's monopoly entirely. Suddenly, he's no longer just a slum rat fighting to survive. He's the ultimate virus in the corporate machine. Teaming up with Raven, a disgraced combat-augmented Paladin marked for death, Kai must climb the 100-floor Sky Spire. His mission: save his sister, and stop Arclight's CEO from sacrificing millions to become a digital god. The corporation thinks they own the sky. They're about to learn what happens when the slums strike back. Neon Reckoning: Mana Renegade is a gritty, high-octane Cyberpunk Progression Fantasy. Perfect for fans of Cyberpunk 2077, Iron Prince, and LitRPG where magic collides with steel, code, and explosive progression. Grab your copy today-plug into the rebellion.
