Oryx Prime Resurrection Protocol

You weren't supposed to wake up.

The world above the clouds is dead. What's left of humanity is stacked inside Oryx Prime - a vertical megacity where the Zenith preaches purity from its glass spires and the Foundry grinds the forgotten into fuel far below. Down in the Iron Gut, the law is written in steel and smoke: if you can't work, you're fuel; if you can't pay, you're parts; if you can't obey, you're ash.

You come back to yourself on a conveyor of corpses and scrap, dragged inch by inch toward an open furnace. No name. No memory. Just a fresh brand seared into your arm, a body that feels reassembled by someone who had a diagram but no respect - and something old and buried in your blood, stirring awake as the flames draw close.

The city doesn't know you yet. It will.

Climbing out of the Gut means trusting a saint with bloody hands, a snake who turns resentment into strategy, a thief who slips through cracks that shouldn't exist, and a crew that becomes the only family the Iron Gut ever gave you. But the higher you climb, the more the machine notices - because the thing waking in your blood is an instinct that slows the world to a crawl and feeds you answers you were never meant to have. A Paladin who calls his crusade mercy hunts you through the neon, and the powers that rule Oryx Prime would rather you stayed dead than learn what you are.

What are you? And why won't you stay dead?

Survive the Foundry. Climb the city. Become the variable it can't predict.

A brutal, fully immersive descent told entirely in second person - equal parts neon-soaked cyberpunk, grimdark dark fantasy, and relentless action-adventure. Because you don't just read the Anomaly.

You are the Anomaly.

For fans of dark cyberpunk, dystopian rebellions, and rise-from-nothing antihero sagas where survival costs everything.
