Rewrite Note: [At present I am rewriting the book with a planned release of the redone chapters starting in July! Originally thought I'd just clean up the chapters but decided instead to change up the story lines and make things better connect to book 2] So major plot changes will occur to what was read in draft 1 originally posted last year! A new opportunity to live his "best" life. At least, that's how Vincent was sold on the idea. Thing is, the condo's sort of haunted... by the ghost of a brutal killer known as the Hammer Man. For most, this would be a deal breaker. Well, not for Vincent. He's four years into his "career" and lives for hunts like this. It's a simple enough job: Go in, find the ghost, make it pay for the crimes it committed decades ago and deliver damnation in the way he knows best, punishment based around the target's sins. Will this job just be an easy, open, close case or will this hunt start him down the path of unraveling crimes of decades past, all while meddling in the affairs of the creatures around his new home?

In the gritty streets of Neo Chibari, 22-year-old Gwen, a scrappy 'geisha' living in the Old Fontaine Quarter, finds herself plunged into the heart of the city's criminal underbelly. In a world where mega-corporations and crime syndicates rule with an iron fist and the neon glow conceals a web of corruption, Gwen's life takes a perilous turn when she accepts a seemingly innocuous courier job. Little does Gwen know that the package she carries holds the key to a power struggle between the Yakuza, ruthless gangsters, mercenaries with cybernetic augmentations, and the mysterious Matsuya Mechanica Corporation. As she navigates the labyrinthine alleyways and shadowy corners of Neo Chibari, Gwen becomes entangled in a deadly game of cat and mouse. Tangling with Yakuza enforcers, cunning gang leaders, elusive smugglers, and battle-hardened street samurai, Gwen's journey transforms from a simple courier mission into a high-stakes crime adventure. Along the way, she discovers the dark secrets of the city's criminal elite and a mysterious deal that threatens to plunge Neo Chibari into chaos. Armed only with her limited street smarts, Gwen must outwit and outmaneuver her adversaries to survive. As the line between ally and enemy blurs, Gwen forms uneasy alliances with fellow outcasts in the criminal underworld. Each encounter pushes her limits, forcing Gwen to confront her own vulnerabilities and discover hidden strengths she never knew she possessed. In a city where betrayal is a currency and survival is a constant struggle, Gwen's journey becomes a race against time. Neo Chibari serves as the backdrop for a cyberpunk noir filled with suspense, intrigue, and unexpected alliances. Will Gwen unravel the truth behind the dangerous game she's unwittingly entered, or will she become another pawn in the city's shadowy machinations? *** NSFW, contains mild sexual content, drug abuse, dubious consent, strong language, some heavy violence, themes of crime and debt, and firearms.
