Summary
The deeper he went, the more the light died.
There were no fish. No silt. No current.
Only the emptiness.
Then he saw it.Something pale, motionless, just ahead.
Erwin kicked toward it, cautious but compelled.
Suspended mid-water like a puppet with its strings cut. Pale limbs drifting. Head lolling forward. Hair like seaweed, dark and feathered by the water.A corpse.

When ambitious marine biologist stakes his career on a deserted coastal research station, he never imagines the secrets hiding right beneath the surface...Series

Summary
Sometimes, as the winds of Narragansett Bay whip at his cold-flushed face and aching hands, Levi wonders how life has led him here. Here: atop four winding flights of stairs, seventy-three feet in the air, polishing a fifty year old light bulb several times larger than his head.
His predecessor had complained about the loneliness while showing him around the place. Told him it makes you go mad. Levi doesn’t mind it though. In fact, he finds the isolation oddly comforting. In the middle of the ocean there are no generals or foremen screaming at him to get back to work. There are no sly insults on his stature, or reprimands regarding his attitude. Atop Whale Rock there is only steel, stone, and the occasional seabird cawing overheard.
---
After being dishonorably discharged from the military, the slowly dying Levi Ackerman takes a job as a lighthouse keeper just off the coast. Content in his isolation, (aside from the occasional visit from supply-boatman, Hange) he resolves to spend the rest of his days on the sea tending to the light.
It's only when a retired, one-armed navy man arrives to serve as a fellow keeper, that Levi has to reconsider if there's something he's been missing.

Summary
What does a private contractor group known as the Scouts, a Russian mob, the Government, and an Arms Dealer have in common? Well, Levi thought it was the start of a stupid joke. But after stumbling into the middle of a race to discover a forgotten location called Paradis, he's no longer laughing.
All Levi wanted was to pay off his debt and take care of Furlan and Isabel, but as Lovof begins to demand new jobs that involve artifacts from Paradis, he's sucked into a world of historical deception, heists, and the strange group dynamics of the eccentric Scouts. Erwin Smith is determined to convince Levi he's meant by his side, unaware of others who see a different value to the Ackerman. And here he thought his job as a Russian hitman was dangerous before...

Summary
In these rare moments of quiet, when Kiryu was left on his own with nothing ahead and nothing behind, his mind always strayed to the same thought like an animal licking a wound.
What was he doing?
(Kiryu's accumulated a bit too much heat from the cops and is forced to skip town for a while. Luckily his caring superior Majima is around to help him pass the time.)
