    Summary

    In the bloody streets of Night City, a ghost walks among the living. Itamio Arasaka was a boy once—an Arasaka family member, a soldier in a war he never chose, and the son of a woman who mourns him without knowing the truth.

    After a mission gone horribly wrong leaves him burned, broken, and transformed, Itamio awakens with a prototype mantis blade for an arm, a Kiroshi eye for a gaze that pierces the dark, and a past built on lies. The girl he was sent to kill—Lucy, the white-haired netrunner—becomes the scar he cannot heal, the memory that haunts every movement, every target.

    Seven years later, he is known as “Itamio - Red-Eye,” one of the deadliest assassins in Night City, a phantom in black, walking a city that has long since moved on from his death. But the orders that once shaped him are coming again, and with them, a chance to confront the fire, the lies, and the girl who may hold the key to everything he lost.

    A tale of blood, memories and manipulation, Ghost in the Fire is a cyberpunk descent into a world where trust is a weapon, revenge is a currency, and our MC is a little bit crazy.

    Summary

    While testing its latest scheme to torment the humans, AM transfers a copy of its memories into a human body, which quickly go awry when the copy, "Amber", is unable to handle most sensations. Displeased with the failure, "AM Prime" sends Amber to infiltrate the five humans before they're ready. Now, Amber must keep their identity secret, learn to be human, and try to outwit Prime before it decides to shut the project down for good, or, worse, treats them the way it treats the other humans.

    Tl;dr: AM's humansona becomes the world's worst escort mission.

    Summary

    A chain of unexpected events strands Pomni and Gummigoo. With no sign of immediate rescue, the two new friends set out to find the circus themselves, briefly stopping in Gummigoo’s supposedly non-existent village. The stay ends up longer than anticipated.

    It's just one part of a world crammed full of bank heists, saloon brawls, marshmallow six-shooters and dodgy mine hideouts, toffee trains, candied ocean liners and the occasional vicious gumdropbear, all dripping with literal sugarcoating that keeps the family-unfriendly implications around a PG rating. Most of the time.

    Pomni is tempted by the freedom to redefine herself and escape Caine’s presumed railroaded adventures. For Gummigoo, the map is painfully familiar yet absolutely alien, raising questions that he and Pomni might not be able to really answer. As time passes, the friends find the map, themselves, and their relationship changing for better and possibly worse.

    Unable to summon Pomni back, Caine insists to the rest of the Circus that long-term entrapment in an adventure won’t cause lasting harm to either program or its participants. It’s soon apparent that even the A.I. ringmaster cannot anticipate the consequences hurtling towards them.
