Characters appearing in Fly

A Tale of Two Timelines

The story begins when Svishal of Two Sisters Detective Agency investigates the case of a missing husband. She discovers far more than she bargained for. The husband, Jeerlin, has been cheating on his wife on an alternate timeline, where he goes by the name Jase. His paramour is a human-fly hybrid named Poba, who has made herself empress and goddess of her own universe, and who plans on infiltrating and conquering her lover's home universe as well.
