Stray Cat Strut

In 2057, corporate oligarchs luxuriate in gilded utopias while the rest scrape by in neon-lit squalor. Catherine "Cat" Leblanc—orphan, scavenger, and perpetual underdog—is just trying to survive another day when the Incursion alarms shatter the sky. Razor-toothed xenos pour from ruptured clouds, turning her already miserable afternoon into a blood-soaked nightmare. Then the System offers her a deal: wield alien tech as a cybernetic magical girl, or die like the rest. Armed with a snarky AI and a growing arsenal of lethal upgrades, Cat carves a path through corporate enforcers and extraterrestrial horrors alike. But every power has a price, and the System’s true motives loom darker than the smog-choked skyline. Cat’s got two choices—play their game, or burn it all down.
