THE GASLIGHT DISTRICT - Melancholy Hill X Male ( Human ) Reader

18+

Welcome to the Gaslight District - where death is only the beginning.

In a world warped by time, toxins, and twisted fate, the once-normal island of Eldhollow now seethes with psychedelic chaos, ruled by immortal criminals and undead syndicates. Nothing makes sense here. Color bleeds wrong, the skies twitch, and whispers slither through alley walls. Reality? Optional.

Eighteen-year-old Y/N N/L wakes up clinging to a wooden plank, washed ashore after drifting who-knows-how-long. He's human - one of the last, maybe the only - and in Eldhollow, that's not just rare, it's deadly. Here, humans don't get second chances. One wrong move, and it's game over. Forever.

Laying low in the shadows of a decaying city, Y/N keeps to himself... until fate drags him into the spotlight of The Smiling Dead, one of the ruling gangs led by a bone-charming, blade-wielding beauty known as Melancholy Hill - or Mel for short. They call her the Mafia Princess, a dangerous title with sharper teeth than most. But Mel sees something in Y/N - not just a fellow human, but a boy her age who's easy on the eyes and stubborn enough to survive.

Together, they navigate a world of undead turf wars, volatile magic, and mind-bending secrets, all while concealing the one truth that could get them both unmade: they're human. And humans don't belong here anymore.

The Gaslight District is a gritty, trippy, dark fantasy series with a pulse - think neon noir meets gangland horror with a touch of doomed romance. And it's only just begun.
