Biomance

I had an ordinary life running a video store…until a ghost crawled out of the TV and gave me powers.

Our retro-tech towns might seem idyllic, yet go beyond the arcades and coffee shops and you'll reach the danger zones roamed by bionic bots. Me? I ran a video store with my cute friend Emiko. She's always been a little different, so I had to look out for her—we usually just watched movies and played games together.

One day, a suspicious pink-haired chick burst into the store, warning me not to watch a tape labeled Property of Steelheart—Do Not Watch! So obviously, I did, and a terrifying ghost crawled out of the screen.

But this isn't a horror movie. That busty ghost gave me powers! Suddenly, those no-go zones weren't so no-go after all. I could roam them freely, and destroy the bots with a mere closing of my fist, crumpling their bionic bodies like paper.

But how could I use my gift when I needed to hide it from that shady agency? And if they knew where the tape was, why hadn't they come for me already? Maybe that pink-haired agent wasn't all she seemed…
