In the shadows of Philadelphia’s Kensington Avenue, life is cheap, but evolution is priceless. Jax was a nobody—a seventeen-year-old punching bag for his abusive foster parents, surviving on the scraps of a city that had already forgotten him. His future was a dead end, until a rainy night in a filthy alley changed everything. Injected with a glowing neon-blue "waste product" by two dying junkies, Jax prepared for the end. He waited for the overdose to take him. He waited to become another ghost on the streets. Instead, the System woke up. [ CRITICAL ERROR: UNKNOWN BIOMASS DETECTED ] [ VX-99 PROTOCOL ACTIVATED: INITIATING GENE-SHARD EXTRACTION... ] That "waste" wasn't a death sentence—it was the crowning failure of a top-tier lab, a sentient mutagen that transformed Jax’s body into a living biological interface. Now, every drop of blood he spills and every predator he defeats grants him their strength. From the crack dens of Philly to the high-tech fortresses of the elite, Jax is no longer running. He’s hunting. To fuel his evolution, he must consume. To survive, he must become the very thing the world fears most. The lab called it a glitch. Jax calls it justice.
