Miss Witch's 'warm' daily life in the Cyber Interstellar Era, occasionally epic and impassioned. ———— She was a timid girl who grew up in the cyber metropolis. She was a crying child trudging through the mud. She was a Legendary star admired by the vulgar masses for her transcendence. She was a dark songstress who brought sorrow and tears to the world. She was a cold-hearted Witch who could not speak of false hope. She was a bloodstained Angel singing the finale... _____ Enjoy the latest masterpiece "Eternal Night Witch" by the handicapped author, Azure Sky Chapter.

Ten years ago, a mana rift appeared above the skies of Neon City, destroying half of the city while also mutating a certain portion of humanity into enhanced humans and demihumans. Demonic creatures and monsters also stormed out of the rift, along with unstable magical energy that mutated both plants and animals, turning them into cannibalistic beings capable of slaughtering anyone within seconds. As though that wasn’t terrifying enough, the mana rift began to reappear every two years to unleash even more chaos. In response, the elites of the city tried to fight back using mana-infused cybernetic technology, but it wasn’t enough. This was when a brilliant scientist decided to create a device that would not only change the tide of the war but also open a new doorway to endless possibilities yet to be discovered by mankind. At least, that was the dream and goal behind the creation of the Stopwatch. But in the end, something terrible happened during the unveiling of the first ever Magitek Stopwatch. The watch was deemed evil and was about to be destroyed, but it was stolen before the authorities could get rid of it. A female researcher had hoped to improve the calibration of the stopwatch, but the higher-ups had been notified of what she had done, so they ordered for her to be arrested. However, before she could be apprehended, the watch somehow found its way in the river, heading to a separate region of the city. This was where Jake had encountered the stopwatch. He lived in the slums but he had been burdened with the debts his uncle had been unable to pay back due to his sudden demise. His two beautiful neighbors had tried their best to support him, but when one was hospitalized due to the last rift event, the other was forced to juggle three to four shifts just to pay for her sister’s medical bills. Meanwhile, Jake was left to fend for himself once more, as he struggled to raise enough money to survive. But everything changed when he discovered that the gang syndicate his uncle had borrowed money from was also responsible for his uncle’s death as well. And that proved to be the final straw because Jake knew something had to be done or else the evil gang members might turn their attention to the girls he cared about. So Jake decided to take matters into his own hands and fight back. But to rise in a world ruled by power and status, he needed strength of his own. Thankfully, the magical technologically-advanced Stopwatch had found its way to him. And with it in his grasp, Jake vowed to change his fate, and to live a peaceful life with those he adored. Now, join Jake as he rises from the lowest rank imaginable to the pinnacle of strength, where his name strikes fear into the hearts of his enemies and comforts the hearts of those he cares about.

Logline Rocky drops into Night City with one busted secret: he can install modules in reality. Chrome, code, and consequences scale fast. Platform Synopsis (short) Rocky wakes in Night City and discovers a broken dev-menu grafted to his soul—he can slot world modules like a game. A back-alley clinic becomes his cover; a black-ops exoskeleton becomes his fist. One by one, legends orbit the anomaly: Lucy (ghost-netrunner), Rebecca (gun gremlin), David Martinez (overclocked Sandevistan), Jackie Welles (ride-or-die), and V (ex-Arasaka counterintel with more chrome than sense). Each “mod” rewrites the rules—streets, corps, even fate—until Night City births a devil and five new legends. Arasaka flags the crew “RED/SEVERE.” Rocky calls it patch notes. In-Universe Dossier (Arasaka: CONFIDENTIAL) Unit: Ascension Technology Special Operations Captain: L (aka Rocky) — operates an underground clinic; freelance merc; pilots Ascension Exo; anomaly: “world-module installation.” Members: Jackie Welles — ex-Valentinos; recruited 2074. V — ex-Arasaka counterintel; extreme chrome; cyber-psychosis risk: unknown. David Martinez — former Arasaka Academy; high-mod Sandevistan user. Lucy — suspected Arasaka netrunner defector. Rebecca — gunslinger; former Maine crew. Equipment Note: Most weapons/prosthetics are sourced from off-grid Ascension Technology; effectiveness is untested; assume lethal/unknown. Actionable: Engage only with armored response and net-containment. Prefer non-contact. THIS IS A TRANSLATION Lucy and Rebecca Art by @HIGH2333

In a future where magic and technology have become one, humanity no longer belongs to itself. The intergalactic Alkardus Empire now rules over Earth and its colonies, enforcing its “Perfect Order” in the name of progress. Three destinies intertwine amid the ruins of a rewritten world: Cassian Drehl, a cold and methodical imperial investigator, hunts those who dare threaten the regime’s fragile stability. Thomas Zerhn, a former mage broken by a promise, chases a ghost that vanished ten years ago. Mira Xyn, a survivor from the slums of Xorzia, dreams of a sky she has never seen without chains. Three souls. Three truths. One path. In the shadow of the Empire, a rumor begins to stir again— the echo of an old flame, a forgotten vow... The Violet Promise.

Kiro's dream was simple: become the richest man in the world and never go hungry again. The cosmic Cube that chose him had other plans. Now, with a price on his head and the entire world government hunting him, his dream has evolved. It’s no longer about wealth it’s about power. To survive, he must expose the rot at the heart of civilization. To thrive, he must build something new in its place. From the run-down fight pits to the highest tiers of sky-borne society, Kiro will explore a broken world, uncover ancient secrets, and turn his ragtag crew into the core of a new empire. He started with nothing but a dream and a knife. He’ll end with a city under his command and the world at his feet. Also available on royalroad. support - coffe https://ko-fi.com/andrecoller

Surviving here will test Sami in ways he never imagined, especially on nights of the lunar eclipse. Can he master his newfound powers to navigate a world where strength dictates all?

Maatari doesn’t sleep — it sparks, it hisses, it reroutes. From the city’s shattered skylines to its grid-slums, life runs on stolen pulse and broken promises. In this chaos moves Khazim Liba — a bounty hunter known as the Echo Reaper and an underground Tethari clasher whose every match flirts with death. Tethari — part martial art, part spiritual warfare — is the city’s blood sport of choice: fighters of various chakra classes, or T’alu alignments, sync their living aura energy — their Se’lo — through relic crystals or Se’lo tablets to duel for reputation, survival, and the rumor of ascension. When a black-market contract spirals into something older than the circuits that keep Maatari alive, Khazim is pulled into a war between spirits, syndicates, and the fractured pulse that binds them all. Every kill echoes back. Every secret has a lineage. Book 1: Black Blood Market begins the Echo Reaper saga — where myth bleeds into machinery, and redemption costs more than life.

The apocalypse ended. Humanity died. But one handsome immortal and one maidenless gamer met due to a certain red-haired immortal.  Shenxi was supposed to transcend the Dao and venture into the unknown martial peak.  Zhang Ling was supposed to regress and save humanity. Instead, they’re stuck together in a cyberpunk dumpster fire, arguing about why “regression” fixes everything. One has divine wisdom and is quite irked by the constant regressions while the other thinks vaccines cause autism and is unfortunately a regressor.  An epic journey is not about to begin—because these two aren’t knights in shining armor; they’re idiots wrapped in tin foil. Saving humanity? Yeah… not happening anytime soon.

“Night has fallen. Monsters, open your eyes. Werewolves, kill. Vampires, kill. Tengu, kill. Corporate security, kill. Mercenaries, kill. Gangs, kill. Counter-terror squads, kill. Cyberpsychos, kill. Biotech mutants, kill. Interdimensional demons, kill. Void Zerg, kill. Arcane abominations, kill. Millions of Dream-Possessed, kill...” The Public Safety System says: “It’s morning. Last night was a peaceful night— The cyberpsycho killed all the monsters. Survivors, please speak.” Li Pan says: “First of all, I’m not a cyberpsycho. I just have a slightly elevated spiritual awareness.”

Titan Era, 2177. Earth. Civilization has fallen to an unknown catastrophe known as the Dark Tide. The last remnants of humanity struggle to survive amid poisoned skies, crumbling megacities, and the relentless hunger of mutated abominations. Every day is another step closer to extinction. Neo, age seventeen, is an expendable material in the slave mines of Red Iron Town. After being caught stealing an expired nutrient pack, he is beaten nearly to death by the overseer and thrown away like garbage, left to die in an abandoned mech hangar... Armed with the mind of a master engineer and the instincts of a Titan pilot, Neo will rise from the ashes of despair. Where others see wreckage, he sees possibility. Where others surrender, he builds. And in a dying world teetering on the edge of oblivion, his brilliance may be the last spark capable of rekindling hope... ------------------------- Patreon Advance Chapters: p@treon .com / ElvenKing20

Centuries after its fall, the world is nothing but ash, steel, and war. In the heart of the wastes stands a city, bled dry again and again, its people fed to the endless cycle of conflict. There are no saviors here. No victories. Only the record of men and women ground beneath the weight of a war that will never end.

Some claim he's the true Grim Reaper of Night City. Some say he's Night City's most reliable merc. As long as the money's right, he'll take down any corporation. Others claim he's the most unreliable merc in the city. Even after accepting a job, if something during the mission disgusts him, he'll call off the contract on the spot and might even turn around and kill the client. He’s the big shot who changed Night City, the fourth legendary netrunner in many people’s eyes, after Rache Bartmoss, Alt Cunningham, and Spider Murphy. But in truth... Mercer himself kept it simple. “This world is too filthy. I just want to burn everything that bothers me to ashes.” Of course, before that, he has one problem to solve. Escape from Arasaka’s Netrunner training facility with Lucy. Though to him, that hardly seems difficult. Run into enemies, overclock the cyberdeck, then chain Cyberware Malfunction + Synapse Burnout for an instant kill. I mean, isn’t that how we all play a netrunner build? —-- This is a translation! 1 chapter per day minimum

"In exchange for your life, make a wish." Looking up to the sky where the voice had come from... bloodied and battered, his chest heaving in short, ragged breaths. With spasms of pain wracking his body, he finally made his wish. "I wish… I wish for my world to be saved." ---------------------------------------- The twelve-year-old prodigy of Wexford Academy collapsed inexplicably without warning, his body giving in to shock, and phone slipping off his hands. When he opened his eyes again, it was not the infirmary ceiling that greeted him, but a world straight out of science fiction... One that could make any hardcore sci-fi nerd bleed from the nose. A world eerily familiar, reminding him of a web novel he was a little too fond of. At first glance, everything appeared beautiful, almost utopian, but that couldn't have been more far from the truth. Beneath the surface of a cyberpunk era, humanity had never been as close to annihilation as it was now... tethering on the brink of collapse. Beasts and outworlders alike, threatened to erase civilization. Worse still, the ruling class thought only of themselves. Resources were scarce, survival was privilege, and strength was currency, and even the direction of a person's life, was determined solely by a mixture of small luck, heritage, but ultimately, the system designed by the ruling class. And Sean, armed with nothing but the fragmented knowledge of a few hundred chapters of the novel, was thrust headfirst into this dangerous reality, without warning, nor preparation. A world where his every breath hung by a thread... his existence, a ripple that completely alters the flow of events . But one question haunted him more than the beasts, more than the chaos, more than the fear of death itself: How on earth did he end up here? And... Who the hell was Sean?!

As a transmigrator who escaped from the Warhammer world, Cairo felt that every new world he arrived in was delightful and beautiful. After all, what could be more despairing than transmigrating to the Warhammer universe without any cheat abilities, as an ordinary person, and ending up in the underhive? Through his efforts, he became a Tech-Priest of the Mechanicus. During an archaeological excavation, he accidentally came into contact with an ancient artifact and was transported to a world almost identical to Earth. Cairo initially thought he had returned home, only to discover this was a cyberpunk world. And thus the story begins...

From the steam train with black smoke in the wasteland, to the floating car that travels freely in the neon lights, from the lawless western bandit on horseback, to the traveler walking on the edge of the world on a motorcycle, alone, two legends. Arthur completed his destined redemption. When he faced the world surrounded by "civilization", in 2077, the world was divided into civilization and crime. The civilized era was as barbaric as before. The cowboy of the past came to today two hundred years later. Can he leave a name called "cowboy" in this world?

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.

The future is ruled by AIs and androids. Jobs? Stolen. Companions? Manufactured. Even survival depends on scraps of tech. For Neill Down, life is already rock bottom. He’s sold off his body piece by piece just to keep his father’s crumbling business alive, an arm here, an eye there, until he’s more secondhand parts than man. But when his latest eye implant turns out to be bugged, everything changes. [ Cyber Hustler System Activated ] [ Host Ability : See People’s Desires ] Now Neill can read the deepest wants and needs of anyone he meets. And in a world built on craving and corruption, that’s the ultimate weapon. His father, Stan Down, once ran a thriving bordello. Now it’s crumbling, its reputation ruined after being caught peddling faulty androids. But with the Cyber Hustler System, Neill has a chance to flip everything around. From droid swindler… to trash collector… to broken loser… he’ll rise to become the man who can give you anything you want... So long as you’re ready to pay, in ways you’ll never expect. #Content Warnings: Violence, crime, gambling, brothel/sex work references, adult themes, manipulation, body horror/cybernetics, manipulation and morally ambiguous choices!
