detective

Year 19,001 since Founding. Russell Auburn, the youngest mage in history to be granted the nobility rank of Baron from a commoner status thanks to his numerous contributions to the kingdom, exited the royal palace after having been awarded the unprecedented title of “Greatest Detective of All Time” by the reigning monarch himself. Journalists swarmed him outside the palace gates and questioned one after another, “Esteemed Baron, there are rumors in the royal capital that only by relying on your wife's background did you reach your current heights! What's your opinion about this?” “At the recently concluded sensational case of ‘Frost Willow Conspiracy’ we received some dubious tipoff that you exposed their treachery only because the price they offered couldn't satisfy your appetite? Please give your comments to expel such negative rumors.” “During The Massacre of Little Clover Township, the tragic incident over a hundred years ago, an unconfirmed source says that you could have saved more people but deliberately didn't do so for personal motives! Is there any truth to this or could you perhaps have had some unknown difficulties at that time?” “Esteemed Baron…” Hearing their nonstop smearing campaign Russell felt his blood pressure soar! If not for the fact that all of these journalists had backers in the royal court then he would have shown them the consequences for questioning an aristocrat so blatantly. He kept a calm expression as he replied, “Everyone! Those are all nothing but rumors spread by jealous people! I hope that journalist friends would uphold their professional values and not endorse the words of rumormongers.” Russell summoned his Pegasus with a wave of his hand while adding arrogantly, “As for me relying on my wife's background? That's a foolish joke! She proposed marriage first not only because of our deep love but also because I was very talented in my profession. She had the foresight to see my potential way back in my humble beginnings. That's all!” He gracefully sat on top of the Pegasus, riding away in style but not before forcefully saying his famous line, “I have reached my current position only by relying on talent, loyalty, and righteousness!” ••• for inquiry: @lateautumndays1 (on instagram)

✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ ❖ “A detective who can feel the truth." ❖ ❖ “A city that kills it." ❖ ❖ “Every case he solves brings the hunters closer to his door.” ❖ ✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ "Some killers hide in the dark. The worst ones hide in the code." Aethelburg is a city that eats the weak and buries the brave. Junior Detective Alex Stone isn’t like other cops. His mysterious CrimeSync ability isn’t just a hunch; it’s a data stream of truth in a city built on lies. It allows him to feel the sensory echoes of violent crimes, to see patterns of motive where others see only chaos. But every time he taps into it, the darkness pushes back—neurological feedback, agonizing visions, and the creeping certainty that the system in his head is a cage as much as it is a gift. His first cases are nightmares dressed as puzzles. A city councilman is found hanging like a macabre puppet in a locked penthouse. A reclusive genius is killed by a silent, invisible weapon that leaves no trace but stops every clock in the building. A list of victims, murdered or “erased” from existence itself, stretches back for years. The deeper Alex digs, the more the cases bleed together—all threaded by the shadow of a single, ruthless corporation, OmniTech, and a secret project that has created a weapon that can rewrite reality itself. Somewhere in the darkness, a mind just as cold and disciplined as his is cleaning house. And Alex, and the secrets of his own past, are the final loose end. Two powerful women step into the crossfire. Evelyn "Nyx" Cross, a legendary ghost of the deep web, a brilliant and dangerous hacker who becomes his partner in a war fought with firewalls and firearms. Mellina Hargrave, a corporate ice queen with the resources to fund an army and the secrets to start a war. Both could be his salvation—or his ruin. ---------- ◈ ---------- "You think you’re chasing them, Detective. But all along… they’ve been chasing you." From brutal assassinations to high-tech heists, every step forward drags Alex closer to the heart of the conspiracy and to the buried truth of the "accident" that stole his memory and murdered his parents twenty-five years ago. To solve the case, he must solve himself. Some secrets can't stay buried. Some debts must be paid in blood. And in Aethelburg… the shadows are always watching. ━━━━━━━━━━ ★ ━━━━━━━━━━ -=[ WHAT TO EXPECT ]=- » A Unique Sci-Fi/Crime Blend: A gritty, detailed crime procedural fused with high-concept science fiction and a mysterious, "System"-like ability that is both a gift and a curse. » Two Formidable Female Leads: No damsels in distress.

In the fog-shrouded city of Cviel, crime is more than a matter of blood, motive, or weapon—it is a reflection of the mind. A lone detective, Elias Varrow, roams empty streets under the glow of dying lampposts, haunted by the corpses he examines and the thoughts he cannot escape. Cigarette in hand, trench coat soaked in rain and regret, Elias takes on cases no one else in Cviel dares to touch. Recently, something has changed. Crime scenes are no longer marked by human brutality alone. Victims are found smiling with broken jaws, speaking after death with their voices replaced by eerie whispers, and writing messages with their eyes gouged open. Rumor spreads of a supernatural entity the criminals call “The Lantern Man”, a shadow that appears wherever the lamplight flickers. Every time Elias stands beneath a lamppost, he swears he sees someone else standing there with him.

But revenge comes with a price. The deeper he digs, the more Ethan realizes he’s not just hunting the traitor… He’s becoming the weapon they created. “In the world of spies, silence isn’t peace—it’s the sound before the kill.”

Synopsis – Secret of the Roth (Book One) In the shadowed city of Iron Clover, humans and vampires share a fragile peace built on fear, politics, and old wars. But when a prominent man is found dead under strange and brutal circumstances, the balance begins to crack. At the center of it all is Jonathan Hanns, a young man burdened by family secrets — and chained to a house where something monstrous lurks upstairs. Drawn into the investigation alongside Albert and Raleigh. Jonathan discovers forbidden relics: a cursed ritual knife, a book with missing pages, mysterious blueprints and whispers of the long-forgotten Cult of Patra — a sect that once sought immortality in the sun through blood arcane magic. As tensions in Iron Clover ignite — tavern brawls between humans and vampires, mysterious disappearances, and the arrival of the eccentric hunter Merlein— Jonathan must decide whether to run from the truth… or face it. Because the Roth — the twisted half dead, half vampire creatures — may not be a forgotten horror after all. And their secret is clawing its way back into the light.

When fate unravels, even the Web must weave anew. Walter Kovacs — better known as Rorschach, the uncompromising vigilante from a dying world — awakens in a strange universe filled with masked heroes who all share the mark of the spider. Here, mercy is currency, morality is blurred, and the Inheritors feast upon spider-totems across countless realities. But Rorschach is no Spider-Man. No powers. No great destiny. Only an unyielding code: "Evil must be punished." As he carves a bloody path through predators and impostors alike, his presence distorts the sacred Web of Life. To some, he’s a dangerous anomaly. To others, a necessary shadow. Yet when a new Inheritor mutation arises — one even the combined Spider-Army cannot stop — the Web itself acknowledges him as something new: the Masked Totem, the first outsider to ever be woven into destiny. Justice in the Spider-Verse will never be the same. *Updates may be inconsistent due to Uni and my other on going works (plz check them out) but I aim for 7 chapters a week.
