Net Zero

Net Zero is a near-future cyberpunk tale where reality bleeds into the machine.

Ariel, a streetwise edgerunner, accepts a beta invite from her fixer—an offer too good to refuse. Nexus Advanced Systems Technology, Inc. (NASTI) promises full-immersion simulations where everything you earn, you keep. Every sensation feels real. Every risk seems virtual.

It’s only a game. Right?

What Ariel doesn’t know is that NASTI’s funding comes from DARPA and a secretive eugenics foundation. The simulations are more than entertainment—they’re a battleground for next-gen warfare. A proving ground for a dark agenda.

And in this game, if you die in cyberspace… you die for real.
