Not Quite Back to the Future

I have a little bit of a backlog for this book. So expect daily updates until I catch up then it will update every other day. 

Spoilers for Cyberpunk. 

=============================

Cyberpunk 2077 was on the Steam sale for 29.99

“I mean sure this is an impulse buy however it’s been two years and I’ve heard they have actually been fixing the game since release… worst-case scenario I can just return it.” 

Best video game purchase in recent history since battlebit. The game runs at a solid 73 fps on an aging 1660 TI graphics card 23 hours later and the first play-through is done…

(Normal, Corpo level 27 Sandevistan/pistol build)

“That was probably the worst ending I could’ve gotten. Took the cowards way out and sided with Arosaka… we’ll time for a new save, I wonder what mods there are, and of course I’ll do all the side quests this time. This is the most fun I’ve had in a game since fallout 4 came out. First play through was male, second is female see what’s different.” 

The first play through of a game like this had to be vanilla, as the developers intended. The second one always had mods and the absolute abuse of whatever glitches exist. Make our character as untouchable as possible. While running the highest difficulty possible.

“System Ex? Sure! I can keep my sandy and do a netrunner build. Lets see how much chaos I can cause if I go all out with glitches and no hold’s bar.”

59 hours later 

(Very Hard, Street Kid Level 50 all attributes Level 20 abusing game glitches 1000+ skill shards through a duplication glitch.)

I fucking two shot, head shot Adam Smasher with a Specked out Comrade’s Hammer 200,000 damage.

“See you on the other side.” Johnny says as V plugs in the port at mikoshi 

Mikoshi yadda yadda 

Issue with DNA yadda yadda 

“There might be another way…” Alt says 

That was different from the videos I’ve seen.

“Anything! I need more than 6 months.” V responds

“I could merge you with your true self and send you back.” Alt says 

“Yeah, sure. Whatever it takes.” V

The windows noise is made followed by a pop up.

Cyberpunk 2077 has flatlined. Would you like to send a report?

“Sure I guess, I have a flight to catch tomorrow anyways.”

===================

“Good morning everyone! This is your Captain speaking, we have just landed in night city. I would like to thank everyone for flying South Delta West Spacelines. We hope you enjoyed your flight, and us here at South Delta West wish to have you travel with us again.”

“Uhh what?” 

“Ballistic compression, mono wire, and smart link? My voice is feminine…” 

A second later an a wallet and IPhone 10 are pulled out of pockets and opened as quickly as possible.

“Helen Wick?” Helen whispers aloud looking at “her” brand new ID yet she has her old phone. There was one minor caveat about the phone the calander on the IPhone said it was 2075.

Everything pointed to the game Helen was playing before “she” fell asleep. 

Apple didn’t exist in the world of cyberpunk and she was getting 5g signal with all of the old applications appearing to work including YouTube. 

“Okay then…” Helen mutters as her head begins to ring.

In coming call from Max Tac

“Answer”

“Hello Miss Wick, we just received word that your rocket has landed at the spaceport and we shall be sending an AV to pick you up. We’ll have a runner get your stuff as well… I just wish to say welcome to Max Tac, It will be a pleasure working with the Reaper.” The call suddenly ended and a GPS appeared on a map in the top right corner of her vision.

“Well, this is a hell of a lucid dream and I’m gonna enjoy the shit out of it” Helen says
