Takeru Ishiyama is a Japanese eighteen-year-old boy who lives in Korea. Takeru isn't good at anything. He is the opposite of nearly everything that everybody needs to have to become successful in life. He is terrible at studying, doesn't have any leadership in any capacity, always comes up with worthless ideas, failing strategies, and backfired plans. He is best described as extremely lazy and a little bit goofy by his friends and family. However, on one faithful day, he suffered a heart attack that needed to have medical surgery and was unlucky. The surgeon doctor accidentally made a mistake and bisected his heart. ... more>>

Takeru is supposed to go to the afterlife. Still, he lost that chance when an Omnipotent dark-god, who claims to be the "personification of darkness" but doesn't have any intentions to do evil, pulled him into his realm and said the dark god himself is looking for a successor. Takeru comes to accepts being the successor of the dark-god.

It resulted in him being reborn into a cyberpunk era as a hideous creature that others can only describe as a "demon". In this place, people despise those who are capable of using dark-forces-related powers. This includes those who are also aligned with dark-magic, demons, undead, and Dark-type monsters, including necromancers, who are all considered enemies of humanity, but because Takeru is a dark-god incarnate. He was hunted by society after he was reborn in the new world. Takeru eventually confronts another person that has the same faith as he is. She was a school friend of his and a Korean transfer student that is a skilled athlete chosen by a light-god to carry on their legacy. The two must now survive together in the new world. <<less

AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Hi guys! This novel is just a pet project of mine, to exercise my imagination and vocabulary. The regularity of uploads will depend on how well this catches on (but nonetheless, expect at least 1-2 ch/wk).
I proofread my own work before uploading it, so there may be grammatical errors or misused vocabulary. Please let me know in the comments and I'll fix it.

I found inspiration for this novel from various sources (Cyberpunk 2077, The Mech Touch, etc.) so in some places you may find some similarities. Please note that it is just an inspiration and I'm not trying to blatantly copy those works.

While I do have a general plot line in mind, the various volumes (or arcs) will be quite fluid and susceptible to influence from reader suggestions. This is so that my creativity doesn't stagnate.

I hope you guys like my work. If not, please leave reviews! I appreciate any and all constructive criticism, and opportunities to improve myself.

It tells the story of one Leon Eagles, formerly known as "Wild Fire", a quick and deadly gunslinger regarded as one of the best "shadowrunners" in North America.

Together with his allies Sylvia Morrow and Brandon Rivers, Leon fights week-to-week to survive in a world of arcane magic and cutting-edge technology, a world of corporate suits and fire-breathing hellhounds, and a world where some of its biggest ever surprises are... more>> still yet to come......

This is my first web novel and any comments and feedback are appreciated. Terms for those unfamiliar to Shadowrun will be in the glossary, and I'll try to explain as much of the world as I can in this story. I hope non-Shadowrun fans become interested in the Shadowrun world at large, and I hope Shadowrun fans are entertained by my take on this great in-game universe!

(Story (hopefully) coming soon to Royal Road!
