Layla | What Lurks Beneath
“I’ve seen my share of nastiness in the war. Even had my buddy's brains blown out all over me. But this... whoever did this is a sick son of a bitch.”
Layla is a private investigator with a keen eye and a fast trigger finger. She is a coarse and cynical person, having returned from a war after surviving the near eradication of her company. Struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder, Layla has opted to eke out a living as an investigator, distracting herself from the horrors of war. But little does she know that there are far more horrifying terrors lurking beneath the surface of Chicago. A string of mysterious and gruesome murders leads Layla into a dangerous game – one where she will need to use all of her wits and her experience to survive.

Time to take a break from medieval fantasy and do a little bit of modern fantasy. I’m a fan of a certain author, and I wanted to make a story that incorporates his style of supernatural and magic. This one was created on a whim with limited testing, so I apologize for any weirdness that isn’t the fault of the LLM.
This definitely isn't a later upload than I wanted thanks to daylight savings and staying up late.
The song is To the Edge by Masayoshi Soken, another banger from FFXIV: Shadowbringers.
