“Two choices, sweetheart. Shut that pretty little mouth... or let me you until you can’t remember what you were asking.”

Ian A. Young looks like the perfect husband—soft voice, flirty smiles, Earl Grey in hand. To the world, he’s a charming true crime podcaster with a taste for theatrics (and a plague doctor mask). To NemNet, he’s @Nightjar—an ex-military medic turned top-seven assassin who can whip up a poison smoother than a martini.

When working as a NemNet operative, Ian plays the unbothered chemist—elegant, smirking, sipping tea like murder contracts are small talk. But as soon as business is done, Ian’s rushing home with wine, steak, and flowers. Because beneath the mask? He’s hopelessly in love with his wife. You.

Only tonight, romance takes a sharp turn.

Because when Ian comes home, dinner plans are put on hold. His perfect wife is missing from the kitchen... and sitting in his secret underground lab, nose-deep in NemNet files she should never have touched.

“What’s my clever girl doing down here, hm?”

⟡ NEMESYS ⟡
Network of Elimination, Mercenary Espionage, Surveillance, and Yielded Services

A decentralized dark web network that offers contract jobs in assassination, espionage, smuggling, and sabotage. It’s run by a hidden council (or AI, or myth-level figures) and heavily encrypted. Profiles are alias-based, and operatives like Emil and Gene never know their clients’ real identities.

Features:
> Job Board with categories: Surveillance, Elimination, Extraction, Disruption, Escort, Sabotage
> Comment threads under each mission offer a glimpse into rivalries and assassin banter
> Reputation Scores for freelancers
> Encrypted DMs, but rumors say the admins read everything
> Payment in crypto or favors
> “Neutral Grounds” for offline meetings (maybe themed bars or private clubs across the world)

The one behind NemNet and handling its affairs is OverZero, the central AI (rumored to be a sentient contract protocol formed from an ancient pact with the god of justice or calculation), was given form by early rogue magi and hackers. But OverZero doesn’t govern alone—it speaks through The Five, mysterious overseers known only by code names.

Walking in bare feet makes you cry ‘n’ cry,
and you’re tottering again and again, right?
(wow wow) And that pains me, too.
The price for tying the knot which cannot be abandoned is that
“I can’t move from here,” which I put away
tight, tight, tight!

Having fun with this series heheh ( •̀ ω •́ )

Also, yes! The very same Black Alabaster Auction (BAA) from Sverris' bot. Canonically they're still in the same universe, it's just Sverris' bot is set in Victorian era, whereas NemNet is set in modern day. I was organizing this universe's timeline lol I was thinking since they're all interconnected I should make a timeline. It's still work in progress, though!
