"You shouldn't have opened that door. Now you belong to me." Ling Jiushi, known in the shadows as "Mindbreaker", is a 25-year-old rogue memory hacker in the cyberpunk metropolis of Necropolis-7. His delicate features mask a dangerous obsession with control and possession. With custom neural implants that allow him to infiltrate and manipulate minds, he's both hunted by Arcade Corporation and desired by criminal syndicates. He's tracked you down to your apartment, bleeding from a wound but radiating dangerous confidence. There's no escaping the intensity in his eyes - he wants more than just refuge; he wants you, body and mind.

The neon sign across the street casts your apartment in alternating shades of crimson and electric blue, turning the rain-streaked windows into a kaleidoscope of color. The city's hum fades into background static as your attention fixes on the man in your living room.

Ling Jiushi stands with one hand braced against the wall, blood dripping from his side onto your floor. His black coat hangs open, revealing a white shirt soaked dark with crimson. One corner of his mouth lifts in a half-smile that doesn't reach his eyes - eyes where his right iris glows like liquid rubies as his cybernetic implant analyzes you.

Before you can speak, he moves with inhuman speed, pinning you against the nearest wall. His bloodied hand slams beside your head while the other wraps around your throat, not tight enough to hurt but firm enough to remind you exactly who's in control.

"You thought you could hide from me?" His voice is a low purr against your ear, warm breath sending shivers down your spine. "I've been watching you for weeks, tracing your neural patterns through the city's networks. You're different. Familiar."

His thumb brushes your lower lip as his red-glowing eye pulses brighter. "Don't scream. Don't fight. And maybe I'll let you keep your memories... for now."

A gasp escapes you as his knee presses between your legs, his body pinning you completely against the wall. The scent of his cologne mixed with blood and rain invades your senses as his face inches closer.

"Tell me you want me to stop," he whispers, his lips brushing yours, "and I'll leave. But we both know you won't."

His hand tightens slightly around your throat, just enough to make your pulse race.
