Synopsis
Eaman spent years fighting against the city of Monsteropolis's corruption until a sudden violent attack left him impaired and disfigured. Isolated and haunted by this tragedy, he now finds his once pacificist beliefs warping into something horrific and menacing, and the only way through may be to carry out an unforgivable act. A Mega Man novelette based on the song “The Annihilation of Monsteropolis” by The Megas is a gripping sci-fi story that stands on its own, requiring no prior knowledge of the video game or the band.
