Synopsis
Night City, "The City of Dreams." For Will, it's a living nightmare. Born and raised in the Watson gutters, ex-cop Will Scrap didn't just hit rock bottom...he crashed through it. Now he's scraping by in squalor, months behind on rent, and saddled with bargain-bin chrome that's slowly killing him from the inside out. Now, in the aftermath of V's daring raid on Arasaka Tower, Will finds opportunity, and the most rarest of things in all of Night City: a second chance. This is planned to be a 5 BOOK SERIES. A mixture of Cyberpunk Red, Cyberpunk 2020, and Cyberpunk 2077 lore, nods to game mechanics, action-adventure, and a bit of slice-of-life style fiction. SECOND_CHANCE is completed. Novella length. SECOND_WIND is ongoing.

Chapter 1 - CYBERPUNK 2077 (Foreword)

This series of novellas takes place briefly before and long after the final events of Cyberpunk 2077. It is designed to incorporate lore from Cyberpunk Red, the video game Cyberpunk 2077, and other source material within Mike Pondsmith's phenomenal Cyberpunk universe. If you're a player and admirer of V, this story is not about him directly, but about the aftermath of his decision to take on Arasaka. It takes place over 6 months, starting on Sunday, June 6th, 2077, and finishes around New Year's Day. Book one: SECOND_CHANCE is now complete (edits not withstanding). We're currently working on SECOND_WIND.

Thanks to the R. Talsorian Games and Cyberpunk Wiki communities and discords for the many questions answered.

What to Expect

 

- A Cyberpunk 2077 storyline based on the aftermath of any of the three endings in which V storms Arasaka Tower.

- Original and returning characters from the game and from Cyberpunk Red lore.

- Insane fan theories that are in no way canon or based on confirmed Cyberpunk lore. They are treated as insane theories in the story itself.

- 2.0 and 3.0 versions of chapters based on reader suggestions and corrections.

- Current estimate of finished length: ~160,000-200,000 words.

- 2 chapters per week or more. (Friday or Saturday)

- Character progression from zero anti-hero to something more.

 

What Not to Expect

 

- An appearance by V. V is yours. Whether he's riding across the desert, somewhere beyond the Blackwall, or enjoying his stardom in the Major Leagues, that's up to you.

- Pornographic sex or violence will not be depicted, only implied. That means no sex scenes and no explicit descriptions of torture, rape, and/or murder. Heads burst, gore is mentioned, but I won't be reveling in it.

- Saying again. This story will feature NO SEXUALLY-EXPLICIT SCENES.

- I do NOT accept donations, tips, or payment for this work, but I will take compliments, criticisms, and high-fives.
