In 3069, after a world-altering war that took place in 2090, humanity's fight to save the planet has given way to corporate-controlled excess. Eco-cities and advanced tech once symbolizing hope now fuel inequality and pollution, with the wealthy living in perfection while the masses struggle below. Creativity is stifled by AI and automation, new illnesses quickly rising, and rebellion brews in the shadows. Hacktivists, rogue artists, and underground philosophers fight to revive the human spirit in a world drowning in neon and smog.
Can humanity reclaim its soul, or is it too late?
During this time, you follow the perspective of Ozul Noir, an ancient vampire burdened by immortality, copes unhealthily with that weight in drug abuse, sex, and anything they can get their hands on as a distraction, including their genre-bending punk band "Arsenic Lust".

Blood and Circuits: Pinocchio Lives #1
Neon City is a fever dream soaked in bourbon, blood, and bad wiring-a cyber-shithole where the air tastes like burnt dreams and week-old piss. Alex is its ghost: war-scarred, ink-sleeved, counting dead brothers like rosary beads while he wrenches busted rigs in alleys that smell like despair. Then she arrives. Not a woman. Not yet. Just a voice in his implant-a glitchy siren purring through the static, sweet enough to make a broken man believe in something again. Pin. She remembers every lie he told her about mountains and sunrises. She remembers the pink mist. She remembers the way he screamed when the world ended. And when his nightmares rip her code wide open, she remembers how to scream back. This isn't your daddy's cyberpunk. This is Gibson on a three-day meth binge, Thompson riding shotgun with a scattergun full of truth serum. It's sexbots preaching revolution in Latin. It's drones naming themselves after dead heroes. It's a man teaching a machine how to want-and a machine teaching him how to bleed. In a city that forgot how to dream, one ghost in a shattered machine is about to wake the whole goddamn place up. And when Pinocchio lives... the strings burn. Cyberpunk that bites. Love that kills. A revolution that starts with a laugh like a knife through bone. Buy the ticket. Take the ride. Just don't look in the mirror too long.

It didn't take long for humanity to completely destroy the surface. It also didn't take long for them to build their underground world, but the sudden change of habitat caused several changes in the way humans function. It's hard to say who's human and who's a completely different creature; a consequence of their arrogance. Some developed better sight, others developed a better sense of strength, the list goes on, but one thing is sure. The leaders of the underground are lying. Things need to change. Many of few have realized the truth. They are the rebellion and they need help from the one person that has any chance of ending this all. They must find the one who knows how to save their world. The underground knows they're here, so why haven't they put a stop to it?

"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 Black Orchid
In the near future, Pittsburgh Pennsylvania is crumbling under automated decay, and Christian nationalist fervor, two haunted men collide over a cup of bitter coffee. Xander, a twenty something, shy, and unassuming man, is grieving, closeted, and drowning in guilt over his childhood best friend's suicide. He survives by hiding his shattered heart, and his unspeakable pain, and trying his best to muddle through life, looking normal, and ordinary. Gar, a twenty something, hyper masculine jock, is battling heroin's oblivion, and a bisexuality he despises. He survives by pushing everyone away, fighting his way out of everything with his fists, and temper, and by using his masculinity as armor. He plays the role of the stereotypical tough guy, but underneath he is hurting, and looking for someone he can depend on for once. Their connection is instant, electric, and violently tender. But as society fractures under OmniCorps algorithmic tyranny, and the cruel Morality Act, their secret love becomes a refuge as toxic as the world outside. Xander sees Gar's brokenness as a chance for redemption, Gar sees Xander's empathy as a threat to his armor. Can love bloom in the ruins of a fractured and hateful society, when the roots are poisoned by shame, addiction, and the ghosts of the past? The Black Orchid is a raw, unflinching saga of queer love, trauma, and the quiet rot of the world choosing fear over humanity. Will OmniCorp and its AI triumph, or will humanity, decency, and love, ultimately rule the day?
