However, the Bright City has a inner circle of the darkest black filled with gangs, slums and poverty.
When there is high demand for low supplies, tension rises.
Which is especially bad for Michael as drug runners aren't high up on the list of people to be kept safe...

Trigger warning - Severely sensitive topics. Around 25 years ago, an unknown virus plagued the Earth- targeting none other than the cells responsible for constructing one's genetic code. Humans, animals, plants- any living matter that comes in contact with it quickly faces its immense mutational power, sparking nothing but unruly destruction. This living nightmare demanded more than a simple adaptation, it forced a complete overhaul on daily life. Yet, despite humanity's best efforts to adapt to this new system- cities plummeted to the ground, nations were obliterated in chaotic arrays of fire, countries infected by the scourge of madness brought about by meaningless war. Humanity was driven to the brink of extinction. In a desperate attempt to survive these conditions, humanity came up with something to protect them. Colonies. A radius considered a "Safe Zone", as it incapacitates any infected attempting to breach its perimeter. Its the perfect environment to rebuild what's left of society. On the flip-side, the infected create nests of their own, producing genetic amalgams beyond human comprehension, and attracting many others of their kind. It is assumed that their sole objective is to propagate. Consume. These are called "Contamination Zones", and their increased numbers have caused dozens of Colonies, and outposts alike, to suffer breaches and irreversible changes all over the continent. The infected are ruthlessly growing stronger. Rhys, the Warden of Zamaton Colony, has taken measures to prevent the catastrophic events from ever reaching their quiet life, where Kayden Moss, the survivalist in question, has lived for the past 3 years. If all goes well, they'll avoid these breaches, Or so it seems...

City of Lintunericului
Lintunericului is ruled by the biggest mafia it has ever come across, Rome. With a weak government and the mafias running all over the city, newer ones crawling from the sewers everyday, it is not safe for one to walk the streets alone, even live alone. Doors and windows are shut and locked securely before sundown and numerous deaths are reported on the news every week, robberies and beatings even higher. Countless years have been wasted trying to cleanse the streets of the city of the mafia and gangs, but to no avail. The people lost all hope for a better city when the Rome leader got onto the council, controlling the chairmen with an iron fist, having a say in every little thing that happened. But, despite Rome being the biggest mafia in the city, they could not even keep their own boss's son safe. Young Prince disappeared at the age of seven, shortly when his training had begun and reappeared half-dead a year later on his father's doorstep, a gag on his mouth and his hands and feet tied so tightly, blood dripped from the wounds. It was a warning to Boss Hejen, that despite them being the biggest mafia, they were not the strongest, their rival successfully kidnapped his son and returned him a year later all while leaving no traces. They could not find Prince in one year and the only way they got him back was because the Wolves had returned him. To keep his son from ever being harmed again Hejen made the decision to join the council to have more control, to show his power to his rivals. The night of his son's return he sent out his strongest men and the water in the drains overflowed with blood that night from the slaughter of many Wolves members, a silent warning to never mess with them again.Complete

A visit to a meditation retreat changes his whole mindset and a mysterious and beautiful nightclub owner who moonlights as a sorceress seems to understand his mind better than he does.

Rumors of a time-machine underground where the past and future collide. William is determined to bring order to this dark chaos growing beneath the city.

THE CURSE OF THE AFRICAN CUPIDS
Set in a divided city struggling with deep racial tensions, the story follows Kofi, a young Black man from a marginalized community, as he discovers the brutal history of his ancestors' fight against systemic oppression. His family's history is filled with stories of resistance, survival, and sacrifice, but also violence-both experienced and perpetrated. Kofi is forced to confront these painful truths as he embarks on a journey to understand the forces that have shaped his world. Along the way, he crosses paths with Lena, a White woman from a privileged background who, upon learning about her own family's involvement in the oppressive systems of the past, starts questioning her role in perpetuating inequality. Despite their differences, Kofi and Lena begin to work together, uncovering hidden truths about the city's past and the violent conflicts that have defined it. As the two of them get closer to exposing a conspiracy that has kept the racial divide intact, they are forced to navigate escalating violence from both sides-those fighting for change and those desperately trying to maintain the status quo. The city's streets become a battleground, with riots, protests, and acts of terror shaking the foundation of society. In the midst of all this, Kofi and Lena must face not only the physical violence around them but also the psychological toll that the history of oppression takes on their minds and spirits. The story explores the cyclical nature of violence, the need for justice, and the human cost of conflict. As the narrative unfolds, the question becomes not just how to survive, but how to break the cycle of violence and move toward a future where peace is possible.Complete
