Cyberpunk: Shiny And Chrome

Cyberpunk: Shiny And Chrome

Rastislav
Night City 2077 Night City, the concrete jungle ruled by corporate self-interest and escapist hedonism. Gang warfare is rampant and violence is the lingua franca, and all it takes for a person to be dragged behind a corner and be ripped apart for spare parts by those less willing to merely scrape by in life is a single misstep. Merely surviving in such a place is an achievement, and to thrive is nearly impossible. Pretty bad, no? Unfortunately for our protagonist, misery oh so adores company, and he is born into this world ravaged by genetic disorders and deformities, barely scraping by in his torturous existence through the stubborn efforts of his parents. But not all hope is lost, for for all the darkness of the late 21st century, humanity trudges ever onwards and there may yet exist an escape from his cursed existence. Will our unfortunate protagonist manage to survive long enough to actually live? Or will Night City claim yet another soul undeserving of its fate? Find out on the next episode of- Yeah no that is enough of that. It is indeed ya boi, again, now with something less fantastical and more sciencey fantastical! Where we replace the racist elf with a... slightly less racist? borg boi. ...I'll workshop it. Anyway! As you may have surmised this is going to be a fic set in the universe of Cyberpunk (and maybe something else if I feel like it later on, who knows?) where the main character is going to be a full cyborg (not instantly mind you but pretty quickly) with the progression being tied in with him making upgrades instead of the usual more natural path. I've been on something of a cyberpunk binge recently and found the number and length of fics to be lacking so I thought I might as well toss my own two eddies at it. As always there is no plan at all whatsoever and we are doing this live but I do not expect it to stretch itself anywhere near the length of the Sorcerer's Tale (at least not on its own) since the Cyberpunk universe is not all that extensive in what it offers, at least not when compared to Skyrim. That being said I probably just jinxed myself into another million words of writing so imma shut up and just let you find out on your own :P And of course, before I can get spammed by one bajillion questions and comments, I am not going to say a thing about the pairings. Could be one, could be two? Point is you all seem to focus way too much on this and frankly I am going to keep it vague for the spite alone.

Hogwarts : I Have the Holy Father System

Transmigrating into Harry Potter should’ve been a dream come true… Except Darren became Harry’s twin brother, a background extra fated to die off-screen. Just when he was planning to lie low for seven peaceful years, a voice rang out: > “Ding! The Holy Father System has been bound!” Now, every time he acts like a perfect saint, he gains Holy Points— and the rewards are absurd. Phoenix tears? Got them. The power of “Silence”? Sure. A dragon’s reverse scale? Why not. He only wanted to play nice. But somehow, the “kindest boy in Hogwarts” might end up the most terrifying being alive. --- --- Darren transmigrated into the world of Harry Potter — only to discover that he had become Harry’s twin brother. At first, he thought he could quietly survive seven uneventful years at Hogwarts… Until a mysterious voice echoed in his mind: > “Ding! The Holy Father System has been activated.” From then on, as long as Darren acted like a saintly do-gooder, he could earn Holy Father Points — which could then be exchanged for powerful items and abilities. > “Ding! Congratulations, you’ve obtained Phoenix’s Song.” “Ding! Congratulations, you’ve unlocked the Power of Silence.” “Ding! Congratulations, you’ve acquired the Azure Dragon’s Reverse Scale.” “Ding!...” Armed with divine blessings and an innocent smile, Darren set out to play the role of a kind, self-sacrificing, pure-hearted angel of Hogwarts. He only wanted to act. But somewhere along the way, as his “saintly” deeds piled up, Darren realized— > The road to godhood... might just be easier than he thought. ________________________ Check new harry potter fanfiction i ma translating Harry Potter’s Defence professor ( Glidory Lockhart is the protagonist, no system)(this is AU) Harry Potter’s Natural villain [ Draco] Draco Malfoy is the protagonist ( no system, no cheats) ________________________ NOTE :-This is translation of a Chinese fanfiction i have no claim over this fanfic or its characters Disclaimer Note: I am only translating this fanfiction.
