Beneath the Asphalt

In the rain-slicked canyons of Veridia City, where glass towers pierce the smog, a bankrupt baker named Victor Hale loses his daughter to an unjust ruling fabricated by a predatory banking cartel and its government shield. When the law becomes a layer of fresh putty over a charnel house, he descends into the neon-lit underbelly to exact surgical revenge. Each kill transforms him further, until the final act reveals a face in the mirror he no longer recognizes—the face of a new demon born from old blood.
