Author's Note
Welcome to this little novella of mine! Each chapter is around 2-3k words, and the story is a slow-burn dystopian cyberpunk action vampire rivals-to-lovers BL/MM (try saying that five times fast).
The main/pov character is a bit of a nerd 🤓 so expect some technical jargon in his narration—consider yourself warned.
I’m new to web serial novels, and while this is a shorter story, I’ll be posting a chapter every Friday. The prologue and first two chapters will be posted 02-28-2025. The story is completed at 11 chapters but there will be side stories 🔥 💕
This novella has themes some may be sensitive to or find triggering: Depictions of gore and violence. Depiction of explicit sexual scenes.

I hope you enjoy the story!

❗️UPDATE: I realized I am not the best at juggling two platforms at once, so if you’ve enjoyed Stakes 9-5 so far and would like to continue, it is available on Tapas for free. 🦇
