The city of Neo-ilka shone brightly under the neon lights, a giant city that sprawled endlessly into the horizon. Artificial mountains, skyscrapers with jagged edges and sharp points loomed against the darkened sky, while below, the streets buzzed with the noise of a world teetering on the edge of collapse. It was a world founded on such a fast pace of technologies that the corporate empires now boasted the same powers, or so it seemed, as when the gods of old were said to have.
But they had fallen.
The mighty creatures of Olympus, who once stood as the source and fount of power, strength, and order, are now only reduced versions-reduced to but mere echoes from the collective memory of Mankind. Stripped of their divine essence by the very technology they once ruled, their once breathtaking powers lay there, sleeping in the dark, hidden away under an advancing world that no longer believed in gods. A utopia the gods created had become a nightmare; the hunger for power in its own imprisonment had locked the gods into being prisoners of ambition.
The world was no longer ruled by divine will; instead, it was dominated by something more sinister: the machine.
In that world, living in Neo-ilka, there was a young engineer named Zypher Nyx who discovered something secret and moved the course of history. He discovered an old blue print-a blueprint of a weapon that would bring back the lost powers of the gods. But the weapon, above all, was a key to revive the ancient powers of creation and destruction, that once upon a time forged the world's fate.
And there was Zypher, a hero caught between corporate warfare and a fight for control, who became the only one who could wield it.
He was not the first man to seek the plan. Powerful and ruthless men would have nothing less than it. Companions would come, too, each with his or her own past of loss, betrayal, and a chance at redemption. A mercenary who bore a grudge against the gods. A self-aware robot looking for its maker's legacy. A digital siren hacker who had once been twisted by this very technology that she sought to use to control. And a cyber-enhanced satyr with a hybrid nature, therefore both a warrior and also a symbol of the clash of man and machine.
Godblood ran in their veins but along with the thirst for revenge, power, and liberty, those youths were heading into those ruins of Olympus, exploring a Neo-ilka as well so deep that they would get a glimpse of how exorbitant the price will be to restore the gods back.
They would fight battles on so many fronts: corrupt corporations, rogue AIs, and monsters born of forgotten technologies. But more than that is the darkness in their hearts. The gods fell for a thirst for power, not only, but also for arrogance. Now, as their abandoned descendants stood up to reclaim the lost, they would have to decide: repeat the mistakes of the ancestors or carve a new way for humanity.
As the line between god and machine blurred, Zypher Nyx and his band of outcasts would embark on an odyssey—not just through realms, but through the very fabric of what it meant to be human, to be a god, and to be free.
This is the story of the Cyber Gods' Odyssey. The story of a world on the brink of rebirth—and the struggle to determine who would shape its future.
