Shadow Runner

Adrian was born a couple hundred years too late to witness humans ruling the stars. The days of relentless scientific advancement are long gone. Humanity's former cradle has become the birthplace of nightmares, so Adrian lives on a world far from Terra. But Adrian has a secret. His eyes are failing him, and in this age, blindness means death. When the chance arrives to earn a couple quick credits for a new pair of cybernetic eyes, he jumps on it. Only, Adrian gets more than he bargained for.

Adrian knows he should be thankful. He's got his new eyes and some decent runner training. He escaped from the insane doctor who forcibly swapped his arms for cyber-eldritch limbs, and he did it with the help of the doctor's own daughter. Now he just wants to lie low and live out the rest of his eldritch-human life in peace. But in Adrian's world, peace is not an option.

With a formerly hostile mercenary company under their control and enough resources to work with freely, Adrian and Amelia can finally pursue the one true desire they both share: freedom. The threat of Amelia's father might still hang over their heads, but they are set on eliminating it. This requires them to muddle their way back to where it all began: the city's slums, and all the different actors exerting their influence there. But, if they're expecting Adrian to be easy prey, he's set on proving to them that he can more than just protect the new life he's started with the doctor's daughter…
