Detective On Duty

Xavier Carter's life imploded when his girlfriend abandoned him, leading to a profound depression and a suicide attempt. Instead of death, he awoke in an unfamiliar, anachronistic city, reborn as Miles Corbane. A mysterious system granted him a second chance, bestowing skills and knowledge of his new identity and surroundings. His designated purpose: to become a detective. The system equipped him with enhanced senses, observation, and intuition, promising to upgrade his abilities and unlock fragmented memories of his past life with each solved case. Miles's initial goal was to infiltrate the Aethelred Institute of Investigation. As he solved cases, Miles grew in power and began reconstructing his former existence. However, each cleared mystery unearthed a more disturbing enigma. A final, cryptic quest from the system presented an seemingly insurmountable challenge, revealing layers of truth and deception. This journey will follow Miles as he navigates a complex web of hidden facts, seeking truth amidst intricate traps designed to manipulate the course of investigation.
