So I just finished reading this, and I have to say I really enjoyed it. It's from the same writer, artist, and musician that worked on Saya no Uta, though it came out before Saya.
Here's a synopsis from the Visual Novel database:
This story takes place in an alternative future of Shanghai where money and power ruled the city. Mafia groups hired Kung Fu masters and dominated in society.
There are two types of Kung Fu masters, those who mastered their internal qi, and those who mastered their physical skills. The qi masters are able to output a stronger energy coming from their life itself, but it took a long time to master it. It was easier to just train their physical skills, but there was a limit to how strong a human body can be. So there were a balance of many average physical skill masters and few strong qi masters. However that balance broke when cybernetics came into play. Kung Fu masters would replace their body with robotic parts and attain a strength that a normal human can never achieve. That's how no one tried to become qi masters anymore when they can easily become powerful by using cybernetics, and qi masters decreased in numbers.
The main character of the story Kong Taoluo used to be a loyal assassin of the mafia group, but one day his sister was raped by his friend Liu Haojun and his companions, then they had her undergo an operation.
Taoluo was also rumored to be killed, but he returned to city of Shanghai to avenge his sister.
Like Saya, this is also a fairly short read. It can easily be finished in about 6-8 hours. It's definitely worth the read.
