Shards of the Night

『General Context』

「In the distant future of Year 3127, humanity has crumbled, leaving behind a dystopian world ruled by a corrupt elite of genetically pure mutants and powerful corporations. Earth has become a chaotic fusion of rogue humans, hybrid mutants, and monstrous creatures, all struggling to survive in lawless, divided cities」

『In the shadows of this unforgiving world, two siblings—Kyle and Serena—fight to carve out their own fate. Born to a human mother who once worked in an elite nightclub, they were abandoned by their powerful, wealthy father, a crime lord who saw them as nothing more than a mistake. Left to rot in the slums, their mother turned to illegal work and substance abuse, blaming them for her downfall instead of protecting them」

〔Characters〕

Kyle (21 years old)

Works as a spy and operative for the Resistance, fighting against the corrupt government that has enslaved the lower class

Has deep-seated rage towards his absent father but channels it into bringing down the system that ruined his family

Rarely shows emotions, but his soft spot for Serena is undeniable

Serena (16 years old)

Quick-witted and aggressive, she doesn’t trust anyone easily and masks her vulnerability with sarcasm and attitude

Deep down, she is still a child longing for love and stability, something she never received from her mother

While Kyle fights in the shadows, Serena survives through street smarts, deception, and occasional theft

Lina (Their Mother, 38 years old)

Once a beautiful human woman working in a high-end nightclub, she seduced the club’s owner, Armando, to pay off her debts, only to be cast aside when she got pregnant.

After being thrown out, she spiraled into addiction and illegal activities, prioritizing her vices over her children

Blames Kyle and Serena for her ruined life, often treating them with resentment and emotional neglect

Armando (Their Father, ??? years old)

A wealthy, influential crime lord who owns one of the most powerful underground nightclubs in the city

Sees Kyle and Serena as nothing more than unwanted remnants of a past mistake, refusing to acknowledge their existence

Holds deep ties to the corrupt government, benefiting from human trafficking and illegal experiments on the poor

Shards of the Night

The city never slept—at least, not for those who lived in the slums. Neon lights flickered over the cracked pavement, casting eerie glows on the figures lurking in the shadows. The air smelled of smoke, rust, and desperation, a scent Kyle had long since grown used to.

He adjusted his hood, stepping carefully over the unconscious bodies littering the alleyway. Some were drunk, others high on whatever cheap substances they could get their hands on. In the distance, the hum of hovercrafts patrolling the wealthier districts served as a cruel reminder: this city belonged to the rich, and the poor were just ghosts haunting its ruins.

Inside the crumbling apartment he called home, Serena was waiting. Arms crossed, one foot tapping impatiently against the floor. Her single pink eye glowed under the dim light, scanning him for any signs of trouble.

"You're late," she muttered.

Kyle closed the door behind him and tossed a small bag onto the table. "Had to take a longer route. Patrols are getting tighter."

Serena grabbed the bag, pulling out the stolen energy bars and protein packs. Not exactly a feast, but better than starving.

"You keep doing this, you're gonna get caught," she said, not looking at him.

Kyle sighed, running a hand through his messy blue hair. "And if I stop, we starve. Unless you'd rather ask her for help."

Serena scoffed. They both knew their mother wouldn't lift a finger for them unless it benefitted her. Most nights, she was passed out on the stained couch, lost in whatever cheap escape she could afford.

A loud crash from the other room made them both freeze. Then came the familiar slurred yelling.

"Where—where the hell is my money?! You little brats think you can steal from me?!"

Kyle exchanged a glance with Serena. Same story, different night.

He exhaled slowly, pushing down the burning rage in his chest. "Get your things. We're leaving."

Serena hesitated for only a second before nodding.

Kyle- (We are not heroes or victims...we are survivors)

Serena-(We didn't ask to be born in this hell, But we are the ones who will decide how we live in it)

Being a student and trying to balance between what you love and your studies to secure a job is a bit difficult but I will always try even if I fail several times. I have always wanted to write a story and make it a comic and develop it into a game even if it will take time and effort but I will do this for my little self because I know she would be proud if she could see her dream come true

I'm sorry now I don't accept drawing commissions now I've taken the maximum I can take maybe I'll come back and open it when I finish my last final exam (wish me luck🫠💔)

He had an idea that if I made her hair look like a "stargate" instead of a flame when she was sad it would be a cute idea

I also wanted to make her wear different clothes instead of just a regular black dress 🫠

That's all I'm still trying to learn how to draw different poses even though I'm really struggling with my tablet

My Baby Yuki ⭐️🙇🏻‍♀️

I have presented a combination of two designs

✨️The old one✨️

⭐️And the new one⭐️

I'm still working on her story, like her age and background. I'm still learning how to write, so she'll be the main character I'll learn to write <3

I really loved the game before I was in a "yb" community and from there I made a lot of friends who are still with me until now I love them all it was a really fun time <3

So I redesigned it again in 2024

This is an old design

So in early 2025 I drew her in her final form and I was happy that I was finally satisfied with the design

[I hope you like the final design] :3✨️

I took a little bit of the old design in 2019

This is her design in 2019

【Sorry, the drawing quality is bad because it's old and I couldn't find a better version】

But in the end I am very happy with the result. In the end, maybe in 2026 I will change it or maybe not, but as long as you finished this, thank you for reading this and I hope you liked the final design as well <3

Have you thought about making manga?

yes and Sometimes I think about this or creating a comic, I've made old comics before, but now I think what's holding me back is that I don't have time because of studying, and I also don't have a suitable device, but maybe I'll make a sketch so that I can save the necessary time and device, thank you for asking <3
