X Sunset — Blokk X Rafael Dawnside wakes up in a hospital bed with one eye, handcuffs, and the unsettling realization that he no longer feels pain. Not the physical kind, anyway. Shot by Vincenzo Bellanti—the mob enforcer he used to work for—Rafael shouldn’t be alive. He knows it. The paperwork just hasn’t caught up. What follows is less a crime story than a controlled collapse. Rafael is a man who built a street gang from nothing, defected into organized crime to become a more durable piece in a game he never fully understood, and got a bullet in the eye for his efficiency. Now he’s in gen pop, half-blind and detached, navigating a prison ecosystem where every alliance is transactional and every favor is a future debt. Between rival kingpins who both want him dead—or useful, which amounts to the same thing—Rafael begins engineering a war where survival is secondary to leaving a mark.
