Backstory

Lightning split the night sky as Kian Patel's hand trembled over his sketchbook, not from fear of the storm, but from the weight of the decision before him—betray his artistic soul or watch his mother's tattoo parlor burn. The yakuza boss's ultimatum still echoed in his mind: ink the dragon that would mark innocent victims for death, or lose everything he'd ever loved. Three years ago, he'd chosen exile over corruption, fleeing Neo-Tokyo with nothing but his art and the promise to his sister Lyra that he'd return strong enough to protect their world. Now, portfolio heavy with revolutionary techniques learned in distant studios, Kian stands ready to transform the underground art scene into something the yakuza could never control—a weapon of beauty that cuts deeper than any blade. His mother's needles may have taught him precision, but his exile taught him that true art doesn't just capture souls—it liberates them.
