For when she sleeps, she's full of dreams and nightmares, unrequited feelings and envious thoughts, which spill into the waking world.

But one day, he comes across maybe the most notorious villains operating outside of Central City, about to be slain by a member of the Central City Heroics and Investigative squad. On impulse, he steps in to save the villain's life; and is taken under the villain's wing in response.

A secret mission was all it took for Elise to gain the infamous twins, Azael and Reuel's attention and from then on, there was no stopping them.
While the twins want her, Elise wants nothing to do with them.
Amidst the growing infatuation and feelings, Elise has even to protect herself from the danger she has unknowingly put herself into.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Scene 1:... more>>

“You were ours the day you stepped inside our club,” Azael said as he strode towards her and Elise took a step back instantly.
“I belong to no one.” She declared as she maintained her gaze on him. But her wavering voice gave her away and Azael arched his lips, taking it as a challenge.
“Are you sure, darling? Why does your heartbeat say otherwise?” Reuel approached her from behind and Elise was now trapped between the twins.
“I…” Elise licked her lips as she maintained her gaze on the man before her while her mind was focused on Reuel’s wandering hands that were inching towards her waist.
“You what, gorgeous?” Azael probed as he smirked at her evilly and Elise was lost in his mysterious depths instantly.
“Tell us you want us, Elise.” Reuel urged behind.
“Tell us, baby. Tell us you want us as much as we want you.” Azael ran a finger along her arm and goosebumps peppered on her skin instantly.
“Tell us, Elise.”
And that was all it took for Elise to surrender. “I want you.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scene 2:
"Remind us the count of your orgasms, darling." Reuel wiped a teardrop that had slid down Elise's cheek. "Was it the third or the fourth?"
Elise just panted, not having the strength to speak a word.
"Aww, is our favorite girl exhausted?" Azael cooed and brushed her hair lightly and Elise blinked her eyes twice in response.
"Too bad, darling. Too bad." He continued and pulled on her restraints, a sardonic smile making its way onto his lips. "This is just the beginning, baby and we will not stop until you say your safe word."

Translated Chinese Novel <<less

In 2045, with almost everything and everyone connected to the network, the trust in its security and reliability is paramount for the society to function. Many agencies throughout the world spend significant resources to keep the citizens and properties safe in this environment. In Japan, Section 9 of Public Security works to investigate cyber criminals and prevent cyber threats.... more>>

Esaki Purin dreamed of joining Section 9 and protecting people since one of the members of Section 9 saved her in her childhood. But she never expected that her first case on the job would be to investigate her own murder while coming to terms with not being human anymore.

---

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.

The cover is one of the official SAC_2045 posters. <<less

Ben Bryant, A knight? Well, thats what he wants to be in this world of heroes, villains and monsters. Feeling that, he should be true to himself and finally be what he always wanted to be, a knight.
How far can a person without powers go against a world full of people with superpowers where the weakest of them can break stone and dismantle the police with little difficulty to weak powered people capable of collapsing buildings and have them fall on top of them with little damage.... more>>

Can the system help him become a Knight and reach the highest levels of power or is it doom to failure like others before him? <<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.

This story is a slow burn and has many lead characters and points of views, so don't expect too much in the first few chapters. I'm a very, and i mean very, slow writer so I'll only be updating this once a week on Saturdays. I also release mini intermission chapters in between my regulars updates sporadically.

This story is also written in a weird experimental playwright style to allow quick and easy conversation between multiple people to occur at once. This style might not might not appeal to some.

Also, if it wasn't obvious, most of the artwork you see in this series is AI generated. <<less
