CyberPunk: Low-Life, High Tech

Buckie_Blue
"Greetings, chromed crusaders and organic oddities! Welcome to Night City—where the neon’s brighter than your future, the smog’s 40% carcinogens and 60% shattered dreams, and your survival strategy boils down to evading landlords and lead poisoning. Corporations? They’re auctioning your aspirations at a 300% markup—conveniently bundled with lifetime debt! Gangs? Hosting turf wars like community theater—tonight’s performance: Kabuki Carnage (sponsored by Maelstrom™). And Trauma Team? Let’s just say their motto’s ‘Resuscitation Pending’—pending your premium tier, of course. Strap on your subdermal armor, choke down that soy-paste ‘gourmet’ experience, and cross your fingers your neuralware doesn’t critical error during today’s mandatory firefight. Spoiler alert: it will. Tune in for updates, tune out the screams, or get systematically optimized—your obituary airs right after these messages. Stan out!” Translation Note: Hit me Patreon for you patient-less buggers: patreon.com/Buckie_Blue (Up to 6-10 chapters ahead lads!) Now, listen up, choombas—this here’s a fresh take on "赛博朋克: 2075" from Qidian, a’right? But I figured the ol’ girl could use a bit more ripperdoc grit in her veins, yeah? More scalpels, more synth-leather creak, more of that "oh-shite-my-spleen’s-out" charm Night City’s famous for. Sláinte to the OG, and here’s to bleedin’ new edges on the blade. Big shouts to SrMagnus for thier killer version, Cyberpunk: The Relentless (seriously, go read it—preem stuff). And hey - if you've got thoughts, toss 'em my way. Feedback's always welcome, long as it's not written in bullet holes.... or soya milk, that shite just tastes wrong. [Cover art is not my own—just borrowing it for the ride. Original artist, if you’re out there and want it pulled, shoot me a message and consider it done. No drama, just professional courtesy. Cheers!]

Ascending Pride

What happens when a dragon gets sacrificed by his mate for his blessings? Blame the bird. What happens when a fish wants to rule the skies? Drag the bird down. What happens when a fox wants revenge? Seek out the bird. What happens when humans are lied to for generations? Coarse the bird. What does any of that have to do with the bird who most have never even met? How do they subdue a being that not even beast gods were able to defeat? How do they force a bird to stop flying? How do they kill a being... that cannot be killed? ... They break his heart... over, and over, and over. It's been over a thousand years since the beast god sealed itself away to heal from it's injuries. 700 years since the dragon was sacrificed. 600 years since a feathered snake started accepting human "wives". Almost 500 years since his heart was shattered. 300 years since history was rewritten. 200 years since the fish sent out a call. 50 years since the fox was tricked. 20 years since he gave his broken heart to a young warrior. 10 years since he was once again betrayed. 2 years since the bird found himself in a new body with only a fraction of his memories. Now, the most precious piece of his heart must either return, or bond with another. Now, the blessings from the sacrificed dragon have become a curse. Now, a young warrior has become leader of her people. Now, three nations are on the verge of extinction. Now, a snake wants his covenant honored. Now, a bird shakes his head as watches with a sigh. So few will live, while so many will die.
