Summary
Night City doesn't do happy endings. It does bodies, debt, and chrome, and it does them cheap.
Subaru is a nineteen-year-old merc from Japan who's never pulled a trigger, taking whatever draining gigs he can to keep the corps off his parents' backs. Keeping his head down was supposed to be enough.
Then in the middle of one of those gigs, he crossed paths with Rui Arneb, a lonely girl bound to an organization that guards something it should never have touched: an experimental Relic tied to the Blackwall itself.
In classic Natsuki Subaru fashion, he got invested and wanted to help the girl out. It turned out they were going to use that Relic on Rui. So Subaru did the only stupid, reckless Subaru thing there was left to do—he made sure it took him instead.
Now, whenever he dies, he wakes up before it happens, carrying memories no one else gets to keep. The Relic has made him the fixation of a rogue AI lurking beyond the Blackwall, and whatever it's given him, it refuses to take back.
Subaru only wanted to save one lonely girl. To give her a happy ending in a city that doesn't believe people like her deserve one.
This cruel world has other plans.
Good luck, "Hero" of Night City
