Cyberpunk: Edgerunners
サイバーパンク エッジランナーズ
David cannot afford the future his school promises. A powerful implant gives him a way into Night City's mercenary crews, where he finds work, friends and Lucy. The action follows his increasingly dangerous upgrades, while the romance asks what he and Lucy actually want from a life together.
David's crew has its own working hierarchy. Maine leads the mercenaries and becomes his mentor, while a fixer named Faraday supplies their jobs. That gives David people to learn from, but also puts another layer between him and whoever pays for the violence. His new independence still involves taking orders and making himself useful to somebody else.
Night City also sells escape. Braindance technology lets people experience recorded memories and emotions, and David is already using illegal recordings before he becomes a mercenary. The gap between that borrowed excitement and his home, where the washing machine is broken and his mother is overworked, gives the city’s promises a sharply ordinary cost.
