Madness Led by the Hands
‘Great, no… splendid. It was for naught.’ ‘Naught? Depends. If your desire is to send an army of killers our family’s way, yes indeed. If it’s plain survival you seek, then no.’ ‘They don’t coexist?’ ‘What… don’t tell me you’re still all groggy from the fall. Perhaps in novels, but real life is much tougher–––many more times a drag than anyone can possibly imagine. If dusty history is not a reliable teacher for you, then the pandemic surely took that place. At least that one has the advantage you needn’t be literate to savvy how reality always trumps imagination.’ ‘Whatever you say, whatever you say. So… what now?’ ‘Now? Isn’t it obvious? Now we shall survive. And live a good life.’ ‘Ohh… pretty much everything here has something against this little weird wish of ours. Might you consider?’ ‘Then pretty much everything here is a goner.’ ‘Hm, I don’t like the sound of that. Too much trouble, you see. I’d prefer laying low somewhere safe.’ ‘…nobody told you it’s mutually exclusive, no–––or did you forget about that too?’ ‘Fine, then I wish my future enemies all the best.’ ‘They are undeserving of your pity.’ ‘Of course not. That unlucky bunch won’t ever comprehend the reason behind their demise. Just let me smoke in peace and offer my condolence in advance.’ ‘Idem, let me study alchemy, unobstructed by all, if possible. This also includes you. By the way, are you sure you smoke to offer condolences? It seems like an excuse to me.’ ‘I-it is none. Plain truth, you see?’ ‘Seriously, why did I even ask...?’

However even though the walls keeping her in are no longer visible, plenty of barriers are in the way that prevent Gemmei from returning to the world she once took for granted. Chief among them is the Houzou Hakkyou, a special tattoo every prisoner in the system receives that alters how they can think and feel through forced sedation.

Euphoria [DISCONTINUED]
Are you limited by that which you know? Are you limited by that which you see? By that which can be realized? If so... Have you ever wondered what lies beyond understanding? An infinite concept. An infinite name. Implausible. Yet, still perfectly real. ... does this thought inspire rage to rise up from deep within you? If so... Then come along with me, for you might like what you see! --- Also, I'd like to keep these warnings below as part of the summary since having traumatizing content, horror and sexual warnings up top seems to not be enough for some people... WARNING - THIS STORY WILL HAVE HIGH EROTIC CONTENT/LEMONS BUT IT WILL NOT FOCUS ON SAID PORNOGRAPHY. I guess its 18+? I'd just put up an MA (Mature Adult) rating if I could. IMPORTANT - The chapters that have the heart symboal are LEMONS aka. they have at least one sexual scene contained within them. ... OMFG I CAN FINALLY EDIT MY SUMMARY AGAIN AND ACCESS THE DASHBOARD! Thank you Kanadaj and Necamijat! You guys rock. :D
