Summary
Something was different with SCHALE's new Sensei.
Sure, she was exceptionally tall and beautiful, with a slender figure and a soft tender approach. But something just didn't feel right with her. She's incredibly friendly, yet how come this sense of primal fear comes crawling up your spine, whenever you're near her? And that insectarium of hers, filled with so many creatures that Kivotos has never seen before. And those spiders she has on her, all so colorful in their own ways, always staring at you with those beady eyes.
And those eyes.
Those silver, hypnotic eyes.
She, truly is... something.

A vision, of what is to come:
The taste of blood, the scent of clean linen, the sight of pale skin with thick navy tattoos winding up and down muscular arms, the touch of snow on your lashes and ice gripping your body, the purple and black honeycomb fabric falling around your shoulders, the sound of polished Western Shoes clicking against the wooden floor of a fortress named Infinity -You dreamed of demons, yet you knew that you were the safest human to ever live.

Summary
Follow a damaged, reserved samurai noblewoman and Unification War veteran as she attempts to make a new life in the City of Dreams amidst personal tragedy, loss, love, and a brewing descent into madness. Featuring a cast of characters from throughout both the TTRPG and video game, as well as deep expositions into the Unification War, Fourth Corporate War, and beyond. A slow-burn, with plenty of dialogue punctuated by graphic, intense action sequences.

This work is an ongoing semi-graphic novel, it will be updated periodically, at minimum once a week, at most 2-3 times in a day. It's an adaptation of Cyberpunk 2077's main storyline with most major dialogue from the game. However, the plot is heavily-modified and features several additional key events, hundreds of new conversations, brand-new and returning characters, lore expositions, and other substantial changes. Expect entirely original acts, endings, and character arcs throughout.

You do NOT need prior experience with Cyberpunk, either the TTRPG or the game, to enjoy this work! I have meticulously transcribed everything relevant to the lore so anyone can understand it, regardless of familiarity. -

Summary
“There are a hundred of them,” someone spoke up suddenly. Niko, Aiku realised a moment later. “Why would anyone need this many candles? This is insane.”
“It’s a test of courage,” Aryu sighed, his eyes sweeping across the room, taking in the faces of everyone who had ended up there, wherever ‘there’ was. “In the Edo period, samurai played this game by telling each other scary stories. They would blow out one candle for each story, and the one who could sit through all one hundred would be the winner. It’s tragically old-fashioned, but there is a certain stylish flair about it.”
Rin sniffed and crossed his arms over his chest, peering out the window so that he didn’t have to squint at the candles. “Lukewarm is what it is.”
Hiori simply couldn’t suppress his glee at the sight of the blanched faces around him and added, “Isn’t there something about some final boss yurei showing up after the one hundredth candle is blown out?”
Kaiser’s brow furrowed. “What the hell is a yurei?”

The Blue Lockers and some of their former rivals, enemies, and teammates end up in the middle of nowhere to play the One Hundred Candles Game.

Summary
~ A demon general. A regal wife. A human noblewoman. A love that changed the future—and doomed itself. ~
Long before he would give his life for a human woman, the Great Dog General was a warrior lord—proud, powerful, and bound by duty to a daiyōkai as cold as moonlight. But hearts do not always obey the rules of blood and honor, and love is never straightforward or simple.
This is the story of Tōga, the Inu no Taishō. How he learns to become someone beyond just a general and care for the fragile lives he once dismissed. The story of the centuries-long ache between him and Sesshōmaru’s mother. The story of a forbidden mortal love.
A story of betrayal, tenderness, courtly manners, war, and impossible choices.
Before Inuyasha, there was Izayoi.
But before Izayoi—he lived another life entirely.{Nominated for Feudal Connection Awards Term 3, 2025 - Best Character Portrayal + Best Canon Universe}

Summary
If you're wondering how I came to be Shirou Emiya, it was because of a CYOA I took, by PixelGMS. It let me choose whatever I wanted and make myself as powerful as I wanted, unfortunately, the choices I made wound up with me transported to F/SN UBW. What was even worse was that I was transported without any of the choices I made, so I ended up as normal ass Shirou Emiya when he was 15 years old. If you're wondering how I survived, then click on this story and watch how I become a proper heroic spirit unlike my counterpart.

And the younger sibling was actually hundreds of years older than you. And also they kinda hated everyone and kept trying to destroy everything you loved.
Yeah. Same difference."
