Cyberfantasy: Mercenary

In this cyberfantasy world set in a hyper distant future filled with technology, magic, and fantastical races, Keros is a young mercenary with ruthless ambition. One mission, one connection, one recruit at a time, he intends to build a guild that stands above nations. Keros has one dangerous advantage many would kill for: Death Magic. Forbidden. Secret. Terrifying. Powerful. But in this world, even that is not enough. Failure is inevitable. Plans collapse, allies die, corruption twists every deal, and betrayal strikes when least expected. If Keros wants to survive the climb, he must learn from every failure and build something greater than himself. One by one he gathers the skilled and dangerous to form a network of spies, warriors, mages, hackers, assassins, and monsters. Over time, his influence expands into gangs, politicians, corpos, and nations alike. "My name is Keros of the Green Shar Mercenaries. I assume you know why I'm here."
