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?

"Neon Without Wires" Elisabeth Wissenfurth (Lizzy Wizzy) x female AU Story
In an alternate Night City, the infamous V never became a mercenary. Born in the blood-soaked alleys of Heywood's slums, V carries the raw grit of a Streetkid, but a rare genetic condition prevents her from ever receiving cybernetic implants - a cruel irony in a society where progress is flesh-deep. But this limitation becomes her power. V becomes a pop sensation - the only "Natural" singer in Night City - marketed as the last pure human voice. No digital filters. No synth-vocal enhancements. Just unaltered breath, pain, and sound. And in the chrome-drenched world of faux idols, she becomes an icon... and a target. Rogue Amendiares, the Queen of Afterlife, takes V under her wing, not as a fixer, but as a protector. She sees V not as a product, but as a daughter - a rare chance at redemption for the people she couldn't save. Rogue funds her rise, guards her soul, and shapes her career from the shadows. But when Lizzy Wizzy - cyber-sculpted superstar and philosophical narcissist - becomes obsessed with V, the story spirals into a psychological and romantic war between identity, technology, and control. Lizzy wants V. Not just the body. Not just the voice. But the soul untouched by chrome. She wants to understand it. To own it. To love it... if she can. And V? She can't tell if she wants to destroy Lizzy, become her, or be consumed by her.Complete

The cybernetics revolution knows no compromise. Luciana Gutierrez, a police officer, works ninety-six-hour shifts with a eugeroic hangover around the corner. Her investigation into those who stole her life is sidelined as a crime syndicate turns her precinct into a war-zone. Sent for backup, she's offered experimental technology that could turn the tide, if she's willing to risk mind, body, and soul.

In the aftermath, he's offered a second chance at life-if he's prepared to pay. Weaver heals the broken and disposable, and in the process makes cybernetics a reality. Superhuman strength, intelligence, and connections to one another, it could solve humanity's problems or tear society apart. But those concerns are secondary to Weaver, who just wants to see the next sunrise. All three are augmented for their own personal crusade and are on a collision course that will change the world. The Last 0-Day is an action-packed adventure about the start of the cybernetics revolution. It's Black Mirror meets Malazan Book of the Fallen with a dash of cli-fi.
