  3. Summary

    From the top of your game as a prolific thief, forger and con-artist with a dash of magician's flare while still alive, to the bottom rung of the Pride Ring's power structure in death; you spend a decade clawing, cajoling, tricking, establishing connections and most importantly, making deals, until you've finally laid your claim to the title of Hell's premier fence and the top dog of the underground black markets. An Overlord of Acquisitions in the making before they knew what hit them and everything's coming up aces for you! Until you involve yourself with the equally fast rising Vees- in particular, Vox- while in pursuit of acquiring something special to spice up both of your resumes.

    However... what was supposed to be a one off meeting of the minds between you and Vox turns into a decades long love affair built on a game of deceit that you know from the start threatens to topple everything you've ever built and everyone that you've come to love despite your better judgement.

    That's the thing about thieves, though. You'll always want more of what doesn't belong to you. No matter the risk or the cost, if you want it, you're going to find a way to take it.

    Summary

    It's 1996; Daisy has been in Hell for over a decade. Secretive, avaricious and ambitious, she deserves her damnation. However, she's determined to be a solo-act, content to work upon her own projects in the shadows while seeking funding and co-ordination with overlords and those with deep pockets. If there's one thing she knows she can be, it's useful. Her focus is set on one thing: The Future. Articifial Intelligence. She believed in it while alive, and she believes in it dead. More than anyone, a particular overlord keen on the brighter, sharper future has taken note of her passions and wants to covet them exclusively for himself. Through a journey of scheming and betrayal, two callous people feel like they find belonging, but twisted hearts are not so easily fixed and the past simply cannot be erased.

    Summary

    "You learn what you need to kill and take care of the details. It's like changing a tire — the first time you're careful, by the 30th time you can't remember where you left the lug wrench."
    - Ted Bundy

    After a childhood of ridicule and humiliation due to her "crush" on the local weatherman, Reader puts everything she's got into making her way up the ranks in the news station to converse with the one person who might understand her. That weatherman, as it turns out, is Vincent Whittman, who Reader has surmised is the infamous and unidentified "News Crew Killer" of Baltimore. Turns out, when someone kills anyone who stands in their way, the results come much faster... and who is Reader to defy such easy destiny?

    Summary

    Pentagram City - Nobody is born here and nobody leaves. It seems to exist out of time and place, ruled over by distant powers and constantly expanding into oblivion as more souls stumbling out of the darkness, their previous lives fleeting memories.
    Strange forces run through its streets, nearly unnoticed by all but a blood thirsty few. Some want to understand it. Some want to rule over it.
    And then there’s you. You just want to live. And you were doing a good job of it until you catch the eye of one of the most powerful and controlling Overlords of the city. His obsession with you draws you into games of power you never imagined.
    Eventually you must decide: Will you remain an unwitting pawn? Or will you take the steps to become a true player in Pentagram City?

    Or

    What if Hell was Night City from Cyberpunk 2077, everyone was the worse version of themselves, no one could die, and you fall in love with the biggest dickhead of them all?
