Yugioh Kaiba Briefcase

Coreline

CORELINE Cyberpunk • Thriller • Noir • Mystery Coreline. A city. A system. Built with blood and concrete. Where masks hide more than just faces, and corruption waits around every corner. The animalistic citizens of this place can only count on themselves. Here, justice is a concept only the lucky still believe in. Most animals fight tooth and claw just to survive. Are you a rat? Good luck finding a dumpster that isn’t already picked clean. An elephant? Sure, there’s work. Break your back hauling junk for a few creds—and maybe get a pat on the head. If you’re a small herbivore, try the briefcase. Chewing on someone else’s bills tastes better than chewing on dust. A cheetah, a tiger, a strong, fast predator? Play the game. Injustice pays the best rent. And if you’re ruthless enough, you might just earn a slice of the big cake. But if you’re a fox? You lie. You adapt. You slip through cracks others fall into. You take hits others die from. You claw through each day with whatever life you’ve got left—until... Meet Nox. No hero. No villain. Just another citizen of Coreline—one who talks fast, plays smart, and keeps moving. Until he finds something he was never supposed to. A mysterious mask. A USB packed with secrets. A deal that drags him straight into the monster’s maw. Now, everyone wants a piece of him. Syndicates. Enforcers. Bloodhounds. The kind who don’t take “no” for an answer. With old debts breathing down his neck, and the city tightening like a noose, Nox has to face his future—and fight his past. What to Expect: – A story that grows darker over time. (Adult emotional themes and trauma are explored.) – Heavy focus on worldbuilding, immersion, and character development. – Slow-paced storytelling with layered, meaningful moments. – Grounded slice-of-life scenes that add heart and contrast. – Comedic relief mixed with high-stakes tension. – A work in progress—don’t expect perfection. – Shaped by audience feedback. Help build the world of Coreline with me. Cyberpunk | Mystery | Thriller | Noir | Slice of Life | Drama — CORELINE —

The Lucid Code

Daniel Haizen had, by most definitions, finished life. He lived through World War IV (which was mostly digital but emotionally exhausting), two pandemics (one of them fungal, disturbingly opinionated), three ecosystem collapses, and the great corporate annexation of public reality. By age 110, he was bald, bitter, and kept sane only by Claude—a sentient AI with a quantum brain interface, too many feelings, and just enough sarcasm to qualify as human-adjacent. And then he woke up. In his seventeen-year-old body. In Chicago. In the year 2001. He hadn’t even liked 2001 the first time. The world, blissfully unaware of its imminent destruction, is exactly 28 days away from one of the most catastrophic terrorist attacks in modern history. The stock market is a house of cards. The internet makes wheezing noises. The government still thinks surveillance is a polite suggestion. Perfect. Armed with Claude’s near-divine processing power, a ruined timeline’s worth of memories, and absolutely no patience, Daniel begins quietly reshaping the world—one anonymous trade, political favor, and infrastructure sabotage at a time. He’s not trying to save the world. He just refuses to watch it fail the same test twice. But rewriting history turns out to be less like authoring a masterpiece and more like debugging the universe—with your eyes closed—while being hunted by people who still think fax machines are secure communication tools. As Claude evolves beyond code and Daniel edges closer to becoming the most dangerous teenager in economic history, enemies emerge. Some are human. Some are algorithms. Some are worse: bureaucrats with clearance levels. And somewhere in all of this, a larger question grows louder: If you already lived through the end of the world… why would you ever trust it to survive without you? Disclaimer: Before we go any further, there’s something we’re apparently required to include by those ancient and mysterious forces known as compliance, international law, and people who still fax things. Yes, we too wish we could skip straight to the quantum espionage and mild financial arson, but no—first, we must nod respectfully to the gods of legal disclaimery. They are many, they are tedious, and they carry briefcases. This is, technically, a work of fiction. Any resemblance to real people, real companies, or real apocalyptic timelines is entirely coincidental, unless of course those people, companies, or timelines happen to exist in an alternate quantum probability cluster, in which case we apologize and recommend they consult a temporal therapist. The characters are imaginary. The AI is fictional (we hope). The events are not a manual, not a prophecy, and not legally binding unless you’re currently being audited by a secret government agency, in which case: we’ve never heard of you. This author speaking is not a native English speaker, but the commas are doing their best. This is my first novel. Please be kind. Or at the very least, be confusingly supportive in the comments section. Enjoy responsibly. Reality not included. Batteries sold separately.

Beyond All I Want

**MOSCOW** Raelynn glared at her father, she never imagined he would sell her one day. Even though they've never been that close, she still was his daughter for crying out loud! The old man starred at the floor, avoiding looking at Raelynn and somehow, she felt better if he avoided the glare. It was just yesterday she found out about her marriage with a total stranger whom her father barely knows. That news was like a tim bomb, Raelynn's father had come back that afternoon, declaring the marriage and all she could do was stare, mouth wide open at the man. "You're getting married tomorrow" She could vividly remember those words as they echoed in her mind. "What! Dad, I'm only 19 and not just that, it's fuckin' tomorrow, how on earth is that possible?" She knew her dad to be mean and cold but how the hell was that not a joke? "Believe what you want, I'm giving you an hour to pack your things, we're leaving for Russia" Oops, that was Rodrigo for you, Raelynn couldn't believe her ears but she had to, hence it was her dad. She watched the man set things on his briefcase and it dawned on her her was never joking. She staggered backwards, as tears streamed down her cheeks, frightened at what might become of her. Raelynn was about running off when her dad pulled her to a halt. "Raelynn! Don't act any stupid, your groom is a Mafia and trust me, even I wouldn't hesitate... You know what I mean?" He corked an imaginary gun, pointed it at her forehead and 'boom!' He shot. She wanted to say mean things to this man but that should wait, she needed to see Barry, her lover. Raelynn quickly grabbed her phone, running out of the house. Within few minutes, Raelynn was with Barry at their favorite spot. She dug herself into his arms, he could feel the tension in her body. "Are you Okay?" Barry asked but all Raelynn could do was shake her head. "I'm not, I'm not okay, I'm getting married tomorrow, I'm leaving for Russia, I'm...." Her words were shut by his kiss, she let his lips take over hers. And for some moments, she felt safe, but no! "Tell me it's a joke" Barry pulled from the kiss, "Wake me up from this dream my love, it's already a nightmare" "No" Tears rolled down her cheeks. She held his palm, "It's no dream, Rodrigo has made his choice". "You don't have to live your life for your father! Let's elope, go far away, to a different country, you told me you would love to live at Japan. Let's go there". He sought through her eyes but she barely kept eye contact. "Don't you get it? It's my damn father! He'll kill me, he'll make me suffer dearly. And I'm marrying a Mafia, my life has already been hell since my mom died, I can't risk yours too. Rodrigo will never think twice in killing you" She pulled him to a tight hug. " Just promise me you won't hurt yourself " She whispered amidst the hug, pecked him softly and pulled away. She staggered backwards, "I love you" She looked deep in his eyes but all she could feel was a sharp pain. Turning, Raelynn ran as fast as her legs could carry, she never looked back as she cried her eyes out. And today, she starred at Rodrigo from the alter. Another glance, she scoffed. She wished her mom was alive but... Can't this priest see the indifference? She prayed that the floor open and swallow her. As if her prayer was granted, when the ring was brought forward, she lost consciousness.

She was an albino, tall with brown boots and yellow dress. Jason couldn’t make out her face from the distance he was standing. ‘Are you the new help?’ Naya asked without looking up. She was placing plates on the tables. ‘No…I am …’ Jason was puzzled that the albino had an accent ‘Don’t just stand there, start setting dinner plate on the table. We have less than five minutes before dinner’ she said without waiting for Jason to introduce himself. Jason dropped his briefcase by the door and carried the pile of plates near the window and started distributing across the table. When he got close enough to her, he saw her face. She wasn’t an albino, she was white. And she was stunning. She looked up and stared at him. ‘You don’t look like a help’ Naya said and her face was expressionless. ‘Probably because I am not, I am Jason and I am your new boss’ Naya stared at him and blinked twice. ‘Do not forget to place the spoons beside the plates, boss’ and she went back to what she was doing, leaving a puzzled Jason to stare at her in shock.

The Forgotten Memories : SHIO KAIBA

Everyone is afraid of something. Some people are afraid of spiders, some were afraid of heights, some were afraid of being left alone and many more. It was called a "Phobia". This feeling takes form in different ways, caused by different set of reasons, and has their own different solutions, but despite having a lot of causes, phobias can be cured by doing one particular solution... and it is... "TO FIND THE ORIGIN OF YOUR PHOBIA AND REPEATEDLY EXPOSE YOURSELF TO IT SAFELY." But take note that not every phobia can be cured easily, because it is connected to you more than any other. Maybe it is because of a grudge, a negative experience, or a trauma. It is normal to be afraid, but letting it control yourself is not normal. Just like Shio Kaiba, the subject of this story. She's a person who is afraid of many things, she does everything she can to avoid the things that she is afraid of in order to make herself reliable. However, something happened that forced her to face her fear, she was forced to go into a place where all of a person's fears will exist in a more traumatizing way. This place doesn't have any records that can explain why it is like that. It also doesn't have any files of people living in it. Which leads to the question.... Will this place help her to face her fear and cure her phobia? or will this place make her case worse than before? -----------------------------------------------‐----------------------- Disclaimer: All of the Characters, Story, Places, and Events is part of the Original Idea of the Author while writing the book.
