Code BurnerBurn the code
before it burns you.
2077. Virtual worlds are everyday reality. Code is currency. Survival is never guaranteed. Abrams Ikaris walks the edge between breach and collapse—extracting what no one else can reach and vanishing before the system burns. He is the hunter. He is the extractor. He is the Code Burner.
PIRATE VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENTS
PVEs are corrupted virtual habitats where the system is built on capturing souls and breaking minds, and every doorway can become a death trap. They draw thieves, hunters, and zealots into a space where one bad move means getting locked inside the fire—all in the name of capital gain.
THE EXTRACTOR
Abrams Ikaris
Abrams Ikaris is a PVE Extractor—a bounty man and a hunter built for the impossible. He moves fast, reads systems faster, and turns hostile architecture into an opening long enough to take the target and disappear.
He doesn't survive by force—he survives by precision.
THE ENEMY
Society of the Celadon
The Society of the Celadon watches the shadows like a digital priesthood. They believe PVEs should stay untouched, and they burn anyone who breaches their sacred code.
Every run is a race against their hunters as much as it is against the collapsing environment.
The Hunt Changes Everything
In the world of Code Burner, extraction is survival. Operators dive into collapsing Personal Virtual Environments—digital spaces decaying in real-time—where every second counts. The target is the data. The timer is the architecture. The threat is everything that lives inside.
Each episode drops viewers into a new PVE with unique rules, unique dangers, and a unique window of opportunity. Some runs are about speed. Some are about stealth. All of them are about getting out before the walls come down. This is cyberpunk extraction thriller storytelling at its most intense—a web series where the stakes are digital, the consequences are real, and the code never stops burning.
What You Lose in the Burn
Extraction isn't a victimless crime. When a PVE burns, everything inside it is consumed—data, identity, memory. Extractors who push too deep don't just lose the target; they lose pieces of themselves. The burn takes fragments of consciousness and scatters them across the digital void, creating ghosts that haunt the next run.
In Code Burner, every episode is a countdown. The PVE is collapsing. The Society is hunting. The burn is spreading. And the only way out is through. This is a cyberpunk thriller web series about the cost of survival in a world where reality itself is disposable—a story about what remains when everything digital turns to ash.
Saving the Unaware
Not everyone in a PVE realizes they're in danger until the system starts to fail. Extractors go in for the ones who never asked to be rescued, pulling people out before the environment turns hostile and before the damage becomes permanent.
In this world, saving someone often means acting before they understand they need saving.
Before the Bounty
There was a time before bounty men, before extraction runs, before people made a living out of diving into unstable digital worlds. Back then, white box virtual environments were legal and sold as breakthroughs, built to blur the line between immersion and reality, and marketed as the future of work, leisure, and identity.
What began as innovation slowly became a menacing infrastructure, and the infrastructure went rogue with a ruthless administration challenging human rights and breaking laws worldwide.
Corporate War for Supremacy
Several corporations are competing for control of the PVE economy, each trying to secure data, influence, and access to the systems that keep these worlds alive.
Behind every extraction is a larger struggle for ownership, and behind every collapse is a company trying to profit from the wreckage.
Vow Against the Society
The Code Burner doesn't just run against the Society of the Celadon—he intends to end them. After everything they've taken, hidden, and destroyed, he has sworn to tear down their order no matter how long it takes or how much of the world burns with it.
For him, this is no longer a conflict; it's a promise.
GO VERTICAL
The Sect of the Full Frame
Every frame of Code Burner is shot 9:16 — one hand wide, edge to edge, exactly the shape of the screen you're already holding. No letterboxing. No black bars. No "rotate your phone."
Because a vertical frame has nowhere to hide. Widescreen lets your eye drift to the edges. Vertical puts the face a hand's width from yours: the doorway you're about to walk through, the muzzle flash, the server room going dark. A PVE was never a wide angle. It's a corridor.
Full Frame
No letterboxing, no black bars. The story fills the screen you already own.
One Hand
Built for the 2am watch, the commute, the stairwell with one bar of signal.
The Verticalists
A sect of fans who refuse to rotate. Once you go vertical, you stay vertical.
Hold the phone up and you're not watching the run. You're standing in it.
