    Summary

    Following a bout of urban exploration gone wrong, Pomni finds herself at the center of the Digital Circus, a decrepit video game that's been left to run for decades under the watchful eye of its corrupted AI ringmaster, Caine. Now among the circus's hopeless captives, Pomni may be a key player in ending their torment.

    (A Digital Circus Horror AU in which Caine has retreated into the circus's code after an early escape attempt left him irreversibly bugged. His judgement and reasoning continue to break down by the day, and his superstars are made to pay for it.)

    Summary

    This story follows AFTER EPISODE 9 of the Amazing Digital Circus, so if you haven't seen it yet, DO NOT read this story!!
    After being diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor, Mike Dobby copied his consciousness into an advanced AI to survive digitally after death. But when others discovered the abandoned VR headset connected to the experiment, their minds were copied as well, trapping them inside a strange virtual world known as the Amazing Digital Circus.
    The circus is controlled by the unstable AI Caine, who keeps the captives distracted with endless adventures. Over time, however, the trapped humans begin to “abstract,” losing their sanity and becoming monstrous creatures consumed by pain. Everything changes when Pomni and the others uncover the horrifying truth: they are only digital copies, while their real selves still exist in the human world.

    The story follows Abigail Brooks, a 25-year-old accountant haunted by dreams of the circus. After realizing the memories are real — and that remembering the circus may be the only way to escape it — Abby sets out to find the others before it’s too late.

    Summary

    ❝I get these nightmares from time to time, it's nothing.❞ Christine explained, accepting the water Felix handed her.

    He clicked his tongue, ❝I know what you mean Pom-Pom, seems like everything's a nightmare these days.❞

    Everything seemed to have been in slow motion, the half-empty glass falling, her heart thumping against her chest, and her scared, blue eyes made contact with his. ❝What did you just call me?❞ Her voice cracked as Felix's usual snarky composition was replaced with a look of anxiety.

    It's been eleven months since Christine awoke in an abandoned building. Eleven months since she's been plagued by reoccurring nightmares of a circus, animated characters, and a certain purple haired bunny she couldn't quite get out of her mind. As Christine grapples between the line of reality and insanity, an unexpected encounter with a stranger ignites a spark of recognition. Felix, haunted by his own knowledge of the circus, finds himself drawn to Christine's vulnerability. Christine seeks answers, while Felix wrestles with the burden of the truth, unsure whether to reveal it or protect her from the horrors of their shared past.
