An online serial novel created by the author Jack Delgado. It's set in the late future, with the world 'subtly' taken over by [[Mega Corp|Jahansson Universal]]. It's been like this for two hundred years, despite numerous resistances and even a few real blows to the corporation. The story focuses on Dante, a member of an elite order of incredibly deadly assassins/warriors/mercenaries called the Runners. They've been revolutionaries for quite a while, but the order has been decaying, losing their principles and their honor. All except Dante's adopted Runner mom, Aaliyah. She's raised him to be a revolutionary, and he's taken his lessons well, becoming a scion of the order. But it all comes together when Jahansson's soldiers attack him and Aaliyah. Soon Dante embarks on a revolutionary [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]] to topple Jahansson Universal, a war against the world. |
