Joy Pursuit: Steel Dragon [Sci-Fi Fantasy | Horror | Action]

Who are you without your memories? A young man awakens beneath crimson-shattered skies with no memory, no name, and blood that shouldn’t exist. The world of Esthes-3 is quiet, broken, and steeped in a rotting complacency. But the eerie silence is beginning to rupture, as echoes of Calamity clash with the shuddering reaches of the Abyss. As he searches for answers, his flesh begins to stir. Limbs twitch with memories not his own. Blood pulses with voices. Something is trying to hatch under his skin. In a world that forgot how to live, he must choose to become the monster he was meant to be—or pursue the joy he was never meant to find. A young man with no memory of who he is or what he is forced to face the unknown as he's thrust into the sleepy world of Esthes-3. Under crimson-shattered skies, what will he uncover under his writhing flesh as he faces a leaking abyss? Under the shifting skies, a group of rookie rangers encounter something twisted and wrong. Lost in a desolate maze of gushing water, something writhes in agony. As the annual Penthestat begins, a surplus of listless souls gathers to party themselves to the literal bone. The Steel Dragon looms over the weary port city of Krreat. With people going missing each day, the city's faith in the rangers erodes, leaving fear to fester. What secrets lie under the forlorn vessel’s steel hull, and who—or what—lurks in the shadows it casts?
