Book 1 - The Mirage Wager (Gildersmoke - The First and Last Blade) by klondike609
1 part Ongoing Mature
Gildersmoke is more than a city-it is a machine, grinding forward on gears of ambition, industry, and blood. Floating above it, Aethercrest's elite rule from their skyborne towers, while deep below, the Rust Docks and the Gutter fester with the discarded, the rebellious, and the forgotten. In the heart of it all lies The Ebon Mirage, a sanctuary of vice, power, and deception-where fortunes are won, secrets are gambled, and history is rewritten in shadows. But something ancient has stirred. When Nora Blackwood and Cass Dreymore take control of The Ebon Mirage, they find themselves entangled in a deadly game of power and prophecy. The discovery of the Eidolon Shard-a relic of impossible energy-turns Gildersmoke into a battlefield. Every faction, from the Ashgilt Syndicate's debt lords to House Valtieri's machine-masters, seeks to claim it. The Veilwardens whisper of the danger it poses, while rogue scholars speak of lost knowledge hidden in the city's depths. Yet, Gildersmoke is not the only player in this war. Across the world, great cities awaken to the storm brewing in Aethercrest. Varkhala, The Merchant-Kings' Jewel, where assassins wield weapons that never miss. Cauldrith, The City of Aetheric Glass, where time itself bends and knowledge comes at the cost of identity. Ironmere, The Titan's Anvil, where sentient machines whisper in the dark. Selvaris, The Blooming Labyrinth, where magitech and nature have merged into something... unnatural. Ebonreach, The City Beneath the Tides, where a relic capable of erasing history itself has resurfaced.

'For The Mafia' Series - Book 1 of 3! ~~~ "Down on your knees." He lets go of my hair and pushes my shoulders down roughly, before unbuttoning and shrugging off his shirt. I kneel in front of him and instantly unbuckle his belt and unzip his black pants. He watches me eagerly from above, keeping his hands to his side, letting me lead. "Are you jealous when I flirt with those men for information?" I bat my eyes up at him innocently as I pull his pants down to his knees. His face hardens as he considers my question. "I don't like your hands on them." He grumbles and I smirk. I already knew the answer. "I do it for you, Enzo." I remind him as I move my mouth closer to him. "Only me." He growls as he pulls my head forward, closing the space between us. ~~~ When a dangerous mafia leader meets this particular stripper, he learns she is anything but.

The Memory Thieves

17 parts Complete

In the glittering, high-tech city of Eos, memories aren't just personal-they're a commodity. Kael Reyes is a "blank," a courier with no past and no memories, surviving day by day in the shadowy world of the underground memory trade. When a routine delivery goes wrong, Kael finds himself in possession of a stolen neural chip that holds the truth about NeuroVale, the corporation controlling the city through memory manipulation. As the chip begins to unlock fragments of his own erased past, Kael discovers he isn't just a courier-he's the key to dismantling NeuroVale's plan to rewrite the minds of an entire population. Hunted by bounty hunters, betrayed by supposed allies, and haunted by the memories he can't fully piece together, Kael must team up with a rogue hacker and a determined scientist to expose NeuroVale's darkest secret. But as his memories resurface, he's forced to confront a horrifying truth: he once worked for the enemy. Now, Kael must decide if he's willing to sacrifice everything, including the last fragments of his identity, to stop NeuroVale and reclaim the city's freedom. In The Memory Thieves, the fight for free will isn't just about the future-it's about uncovering the truth hidden in the past.
