==Plot== Lux, a crumbling underground city, survives solely through the mining of raffia—a rare mineral used in the creation of advanced prosthetics. Ichise, a disgraced pit fighter, loses an arm and leg after angering a powerful figure. Rescued from death by scientist Eriko "Doc" Kaneda, he undergoes texhnolyzation, receiving experimental prosthetic limbs containing traces of his deceased mother's DNA woven into their circuitry. Drawn into the city's power struggles, Ichise encounters three warring factions: the Organo crime syndicate that rules Lux, the revolutionary Salvation Union seeking to overthrow them, and the nomadic Raccan youths who weaponize their own prosthetic enhancements. His path crosses with Ran, a seer from the village of Gabe who glimpses possible futures, and Kazuho Yoshi, a surface-dweller who sows chaos among the factions to sustain his fading existence.
