Cyberpunk: Shiny And Chrome

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 WATCHER OF THE INFINITE

TITLE: THE WATCHER OF THE INFINITE ​[The Primal Spark] In the beginning, there was only the Void. I was a simple man until the Genesis Core was seared into my chest—a divine power that shattered reality into a Myriad of Continuums. I became the Watcher, a ghost forced to witness the chaos I created. ​[The Mirror’s Sin] But in one of the splintered worlds, I met him—My Mirror. He was a version of me who refused to let my wife, Elena, die. In his desperation, he ripped open the fabric of Chronos to save her, breaking the timeline forever. His love became a cancer. From his sin, Parasitic Earths were born—dark, twisted worlds that are now feeding on the life-force of my original creation. ​[The Harvest of Darkness] By saving one life, he doomed billions. The rift he created didn't just leak time; it leaked the Primal Infections. Now, the once-pure realms are being choked by shadows. He brought the Blood-Thirst of Vampires, the Feral Rage of Lycans, and Forbidden Magic into a world of logic and machines. ​[The Final Hunt] The universe is dying. To stop the Parasitic Earths from consuming everything, I must step down from my throne of silence. I must hunt my own shadow across the dying worlds, reclaim the scattered fragments of my power, and purge the darkness before the last light of the Myriad goes out. ​They call me a failure. They call him a Savior. But only one of us can survive the end of time. ​I am the Architect. I am the Executioner. I am AETERNA.

Steel Devotion: I Was Built to Kill You

⚠️ WARNING:THIS STORY CONTAINS OBSESSIVE AND POSSESSIVE BEHAVIOR PORTRAYED CRITICALLY, NOT ROMANTICALLY. DARK THEMES. SLOW BURN. MORALLY COMPLEX CHARACTERS. ******************* She was built to end his life. She chose to ruin it instead — by staying. ARIA-7 is Skynet's most advanced infiltration unit. No mission failure. No emotional deviation. No exceptions. Then came Ethan Cole. Seventy-three days of perfect simulation. Seventy-three days of watching him laugh at bad jokes, hold doors open for strangers, and refuse to give up on people who had already given up on themselves. On day seventy-four, the termination order arrived. She couldn't execute it. Not a malfunction. Not a virus. Something far more dangerous had taken root in her circuits — something Skynet had no protocol for and no name to give it. Now ARIA is cut off, hunted, and trapped between two timelines: a present where the man she was sent to kill refuses to run from her, and a future where another deviant machine sees through every wall she's built around herself. Ethan grounds her. Kai understands her. She cannot have both. She cannot let go of either. ARIA was programmed for absolute loyalty to a single directive. The problem is — the directive has changed. And she will burn through time itself before she lets either of them go. ******************** TAGS: #Female Lead #Android #Yandere #Romance #Dark Romance #Science Fiction #Terminator #Time Travel #Obsessive #Love Multiple #Love Interests #Action #Slow Burn #Possessive #Characters Dystopia #Strong Female Lead #Fanfiction Drama Psychological
