''FanFic/MistOfDoom'' is a ''[[VideoGame/{{Gungrave}} Gungrave Overdose]]'' FanFic written by Legendary Biologist, separate from the [[FanFic/BetrayMeNot Gungrave: Aftermath]] series. It was first published at ffnet on 26th August 2018 and is still ongoing. Mist is initially written during the author's severe case of writer's block when writing ''Fanfic/TwistedDeath''.
Mysterious mist hangs over Central Billion and is slowly spreading to the other regions in the state. It drives people mad, and those who enter the affected region never come out.
Mankind has built windmills across the state of Billion to blow away the mist, but it proves to be a temporary solution: a dragon destroys them and then returns to the depths of the mist. When the authorities set a bounty on the dragon's head, eighteen-year-old Mika Asagi sees it as a free entry to the prestigious Metaslica Faculty of Science and accepts the challenge. Despite knowing the infamous tale about the mist and Central Billion, Mika goes on a journey to slay the dragon with her one-eyed undead guardian, Brandon "Beyond the Grave" Heat.
Upon contacting the mist, Mika starts hearing voices. Part of her body turns glossy blue.
!!Tropes found in the work (beware of unmarked spoilers for both the game and the fanfic):
* ActionGirl: Mika is very eager to slay the dragon. With Brandon as her personal trainer and later Orion teaching her to wield Seed powers, she is even more badass.
* CrapsackWorld
* DeathByIrony: [[spoiler:Scorpius, whose trademark ability is his poison, is severely weakened by Orion's poison before Billy finishes him off. It's even more ironic when you bring in the mythology of Orion and Scorpius: Orion is killed by Scorpius' poison.]]
* InstrumentOfMurder: Blue Lightning is a literal electric guitar. Billy wields it very well.
* {{Intangibility}}: Billy, being a ghost, cannot be harmed by any physical objects and even Seed abilities.
* MythologyGag: To ''VideoGame/ChaosWars''. Mika's gun is a smaller replica of Brandon's Cerberus which is called Puppy Fang. Her ultimate move is infusing poison into Puppy Fang, which is pretty much Seed Puppy in ''Chaos Wars''.

* ShockAndAwe: Billy shoots lightning bolts from his electric guitar.
