In a city veiled in oil-stained mist and the dim glow of gaslight, where the grind of steel and the hiss of steam never cease, a man awakens in a body that is not his own. Victor Holloway, an ordinary man from Earth, now walks in the skin of Elias Vayne—a detective whose reputation is built more on deception than achievements, a man who was just murdered for reasons unknown. With fractured memories and an identity that doesn’t quite fit, Victor is drawn into a case stranger than anything he has ever encountered. A murder wiped from existence, with witnesses who speak only in riddles. Yet in this world of secrets and shifting allegiances, greater powers loom beyond mortal schemes. The Churches of the Four Original Gods—ancient institutions of faith, influence, and hidden agendas—watch the game unfold, sometimes as allies, sometimes as immovable obstacles. The deeper he delves, the more he realizes—this world is nothing but a stage, where truth is fluid, and masks are worn by all. There are no certainties, no absolutes, only the game he must now play. Beneath the blackened rain, the whisper of turning gears, and the ever-present haze of smoke, Victor Holloway must embrace the role thrust upon him. A Detective. A Victim. A Liar. A Saviour. A Pactmaker. This is a tale woven from lies and deception. The tale of a Trickster.

Here's a detailed synopsis for "Fragments of Me" that highlights the key plot points, character arcs, and the mystery/thriller elements while maintaining the emotional core of the romance. --- Title: Fragments of Me Genre: High School Romance with Mystery/Thriller Elements Word Count: 90,000 Synopsis: Seventeen-year-old Elena Aster wakes up in a hospital bed with no memory of who she is. The only fragments she clings to are fleeting images of a burning car, a woman’s terrified voice screaming, “Run, Elena,” and the lingering sense that something is terribly wrong. After a tragic car accident that claimed her parents' lives, Elena is taken in by her uncle, Damian Aster, a charismatic and influential businessman whose seemingly perfect family hides cracks beneath the surface. Damian’s wife is distant, her cousin Nate treats her with hostility, and only her other cousin, Lucas, offers a friendly face in an unfamiliar world. Starting over at Bellrose High, Elena struggles to fit in, haunted by fragmented flashbacks and the gnawing suspicion that her accident wasn’t just an accident. When she crosses paths with the rebellious and sharp-tongued Jaxon Rivers in an unconventional encounter, sparks fly—but not the romantic kind. Jaxon, a scholarship student from the wrong side of town, has his own reasons for distrusting the wealthy elite. His father, once an accountant at Aster PLC Ltd., mysteriously disappeared while investigating financial misconduct tied to the Aster family. Jaxon believes Damian holds the key to his father’s fate, but he can’t prove it—yet. Their worlds collide when Elena witnesses Jaxon in a brutal fight at school. Despite her initial disdain for him, she finds herself drawn into his dangerous orbit after saving his life. As Elena’s flashbacks grow more vivid, she and Jaxon form an uneasy alliance to uncover the truth behind her parents’ deaths, her lost memories, and the dark secrets entwining their families. Digging deeper, they discover Damian’s double life as the enigmatic "Orion Black," the mastermind behind an embezzlement scheme, corporate fraud, and something far darker. Evidence suggests Damian orchestrated the car accident to seize control of the Aster fortune, but his crimes go beyond greed. Jaxon’s investigation reveals that his father might still be alive—or worse, trapped in a fate more sinister than death. As Elena and Jaxon unravel the tangled web of lies, they face betrayals from those closest to them. Nate’s hostility masks deep-rooted jealousy and fear of losing his privileged status. Damian manipulates Elena’s fragile trust, gaslighting her into doubting her instincts. Even Jaxon’s motives are clouded by a thirst for revenge. Yet amidst the chaos, Elena and Jaxon’s reluctant partnership evolves into something more—a fierce, undeniable connection born from shared pain, vulnerability, and the hope of healing. With danger closing in, Elena must confront the horrifying truth: her memories were stolen, her life manipulated, and the people she thought she could trust are her greatest enemies. In a pulse-pounding climax, she faces Damian, armed not just with evidence of his crimes but with the strength she’s found within herself. The girl who woke up broken becomes the young woman who fights back. But victory comes at a cost. As secrets shatter and blood is spilled, Elena learns that love can be both her greatest weapon and her deepest wound. In the end, "Fragments of Me" isn’t just about uncovering the past—it’s about reclaiming identity, embracing vulnerability, and finding hope in the fragments left behind.

Stay clear as this has been the biggest nightmare of my life.   They trick you into investing with all their lies and tactics.

I was lured in by promises of high returns and an easy path to financial success. I initially felt optimistic and confident, but things quickly took a dark turn.

The bank details they provided were not even theirs, but instead belonged to coin tandems, the very platform that was helping them execute this scam. I felt trapped and powerless. To add insult to injury, they knew about my personal circumstances. They knew I had a young daughter and that I was struggling with my health. Yet, despite my vulnerability, they continued to gaslight me, leading me to believe that everything was fine. I felt emotionally drained and helpless. Fortunately, I was introduced to Conrad Drew, a former insider who had been working with the scammers. He reached out to me and confessed that he had realized the truth behind their operations.

At eighteen, Lena only wanted a fresh start — a simple job, dreams of university, and maybe one day, a love that felt like the stories she’d heard. Then she met him. Dami was everything she thought she wanted: charming, well-spoken, and the kind of handsome that made her heart skip a beat. After two years of sweet words and slow-burning chemistry, she finally gave love a chance. But love wasn’t supposed to hurt right? What started with small outbursts turned into constant yelling. The man who once made her laugh became the source of her fear. The threats, the manipulation, the gaslighting and then the first slap. She told herself it was a mistake, that it wouldn’t happen again. But it did. And every time his hands left bruises, his words followed, breaking her down even more. Yet his apologies always pulled her back, tangled in a love that felt more like a cage. As Lena navigates the pressures of university and the weight of his love, she must face a painful truth: sometimes the people we love the most are the ones who hurt us the deepest. But will she find the strength to walk away and the courage to heal the scars no one can see? Toxic Love is a raw, emotional journey of love, survival, and the fight to reclaim your own voice after the storm.

Tobirama is so close to just devolving to his era of "gaslight gatekeep manipulate" from the late years of his past life, but he feels like that's a little too much. It was like getting used to a super smooth texting app that operated on mindwaves, and then regressing to typing for 5 seconds every single word to get the idea across to other people that suffer from extreme cases of lag, misunderstand everything you say and fuck he is done with this world with no solid sense of morals where it's needed and overly strict rules where it's not. Or Tobirama rocks the whole "True Neutral Gen Z" thing, which is (not) surprisingly weird in Warring States. Therapy isn't even a thing. Also sensing sucks. Tobirama hates this so much. But hey, psychologically dissecting people is fun and his years going through invasive psychological therapy was useful for something. The phenomenon called Senju Tobirama operates on principles that prohibit behaviour like not wearing deodorant when going out for formal events, making people hold your shit when you have a functional hand, or (gods forbid) kicking puppies, yet necromancy and overthrowing the monarchy is alright.
