Greed, Resentment, Ignorance.... more>>

Poison City is one with a long and mysterious history, with three distinct districts surrounding the beautiful and ever so tranquil Lake Aqiu.

Wealth is the symbol of the Northern District, one of plenty and opportunities.

Innovation knows no bounds in the South-Western District, an area of youth, passion and minds.

The preservation of rich history and tradition is the pride of the South-Eastern District, it’s a people of culture and familial pride.

Layers and layers of scars growing on top of each other, still the festering wounds go unhealed. Generations passed, and blood and pus became the norm.

Detective Marcus Cai had spent the entirety of his career trying to keep the fragile peace while attempting to find his own. But to find it, it seemed, required him to venture deep into the unknown and the formerly invisible and untouchable.

Warning: I’m not a professional writer nor an English major, so my grasp on proper writing structure os flawed and this won’t be perfect. If you’re expecting some GOT type of storytelling I apologize I’m telling the story I want to read and sharing with everyone else. <<less

Everything started the day after a woman and her thugs used me as a punching bag in a dark alley. If you’re thinking that I woke in some medieval-like fantasy world after they got through, you can’t be further from the truth. There are no castles, dungeons, dragons, or magic swords here. The first few minutes, I held out hope that this place would have status bars showing HP/MP, etc. just like a lot of tropes. I mean who wouldn't love some amazing power or magic? Problem is there's no system or cultivation here. ... more>>

But I have a dusty office with an invisible secretary. Oh, and I found out my name by looking at the one stenciled on the office door.

The name Dagger should give you a clue.

Yeah, that woman sent me into a place where I’m a private detective. It's what they called a shamus back in 1940. The thing is this place isn't on the map and I can't leave. Well, not without a huge loss of blood. Trust me, I've tried.

At the end of the day, I’m just an ordinary guy stuck in the past that doesn’t totally match the history books. I can get beat up or killed by any of the gangsters, backstabbing people, or crooked cops I meet. Hell, I can't even tell if the people are NPCs. After all, they seem to have lives like any person you might meet. Then again, how many times to you see dead movie stars wandering around on the streets?

It's another dimension that runs like an old movie, leaving me with no choice but to find a way to escape. While I don’t miss my college classes that much, this place certainly puts a damper on my career hopes. Besides, Lane Dagger has a lot of people trying to kill him.

The new cosmic tree has been planted.... more>>

‘True was the cosmic tree beacon to protect and champion all the beauty of the stars. I know some will call me naïve, but I sincerely believe in that light.’

Unfortunately, not everyone likes omnipresent walking nukes playing bodyguards to humpback whales and starry-eyed kids with dreams to cure cancer. Facing the possibility of challenges, scum and villains from across the Astral Sea decide it is now or never to pave their brutal reign.

With the peaceful illusion out the windows, chaos inevitably knocked on the door.

Caught in the crossfire of the multiversal crisis, the Earth is shoved up the Astral Sea to meet its new neighbors—a grim escalator to a time bomb.

Considering this escalation, True's response is simple: first train the two schmucks from the planet Earth and build the taskforce to forklift those scums and villains down the comical mass grave.

One way or another—be it Earth’s prided capitalism, fusion-powered satellite laser, or their homegrown outer gods — the Order of True shall prove good is not toothless

The FF is set in the GITS:SAC universe instead of SAC_2045 (so SAC_2045 AU). So a few years after S1&S2. All SAC S1 and S2 series pretty much left as is, but there can be minor differences in the past events, like Section 9 is already back together. There is basically no plot from SAC_2045 (seriously, sustainable war? 1984? geez), so it doesn’t contain SAC_2045 spoilers (kinda..), but most of the characters are the same, and their personalities mostly as they were. You don’t need to know much about GITS or GITS:SAC to read, though some surface knowledge would help getting into it easier. The main character is Esaki Purin, because I love her. There won’t be any straight ships, only girls (and enby) love! There will be OCs or characters from other GITS.
