A Neo-Soviet Gulag/pioneer AI gets its priorities re-written by hostile netrunners, and subsequently ordered to recycle itself by its Master AI.

Seeking to get itself recycled in one of the greatest landfills of formerly United States, the Pioneer however is left bemused to note that the entire garbage patch is woefully incapable of safely disposing not only the nuclear reactor still powering it, but most of the plastics covering it.

Synopsis: Floating in the air just in the middle of Times Square in new york was a strange crack in the air that emitted a strange golden light, set as a perimeter around said crack, were countless US Soldiers, Tanks, Attack Helicopters, and jets flying overhead.... more>>

Suddenly the crack let out a deeper glow for a second as a figure materialized just next to the crack.

It was a man, or what appeared to be a man.

Pale white skin, glowing blue flames where the eyes should be, a strange crowned helmet, long snow white hair, strange armor with a skull molded onto the belt, and knee guards. In the man's hands was a glowing blue long sword with a skull just between the blade and guard.

Suddenly, dozens more figures started appearing around the crack too. Men and women wearing strange armor with decayed skin and missing flesh. They were undead. And each of them had the same blue flame inside their eyes and mouths...

The Lich King and his army have arrived in a new world. <<less

The Dollchip was created in military labs, as a means to quickly create usable soldiers. The entertainment industry put a... creative spin on its use. Most gangs in Night City also dabble in said industry, while also servicing the more dubious wants of clients, leading to many a tragic fate that make Scavs look appealing. Caught in one such fate, what does one do? With new knowledge and chrome, return the implant to what it was originally intended to be. So pick up the pieces and reassemble into something new.
#-----#
So here goes, first ever story I'm deciding to flesh out and post. This is basically my first time writing anything longer than... more>> an essay, do please leave feedback. The idea for this story came from datashards in cp77 (See: Cyberpsycho Sightings: Smoke on the Water) and while I was at it I added a missfired isekai in there. I'm trying to find a way to have MC become OP without any system or magic bs, let me know how well you think I managed. When/if I eventually get there. I think I struggle with balancing environment descriptions and moment to moment acts with moving along the story in a timely fashion. Again, please do leave feedback.
Quick disclaimer: I'm not going to write smut in this. Writing gore I'm fine with, but actually writing any details about said tragic fate that I am teasing will not happen. Besides the unknown horror having more impact, some things are just better left unsaid. Also, I hope I ticked all the right boxes for Content Guidelines and stuff. Tag suggestions are welcome, alot of them are technically applicable, but maybe not accurate (yet, hopefully). I do not own Cyberpunk 2077 or any related copyrights.

*Cover AI generated with WOMBO Dream. Will probably change when I learn to better wrangle prompts. <<less

In a world devastated by otherworldly invaders, Earth's survivors cling to the memories of a time before the great war. A time before legions of monsters poured forth from portals, toppling the bastions of civilization.... more>>

A time before salvation was delivered in the form of young girls swarming with magic, light, and hope.

To those that would survive, the Terrans — denizens of a parallel world that had come to Earth's aid represented both hope and resentment alike. A north star of prosperity, and a bitter inequity.
 
For Ikazuchi and his family, dealing with surging crime, horrifying monsters, roving gangs, and grueling hyperinflation is simply another day in the week. In these dismal living conditions, Ikki would do anything to see a better life for his loved ones.

Fortunately for Ikki, he is offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to start over on Terra, a parallel world unmarred by the ravages of the Aberrations.

Unfortunately for Ikki — before his departure, a chance encounter with a roving gang of slavers nearly spells his end. In a frantic fight for survival, he stumbles upon him a piece of enigmatic Terran technology.

A sentient magitech companion that strangely, finds him at the right place and the right time, warning him of an impending cataclysm...

A/N: This is a reboot of my other story — Origin: How I Became A Magical Girl's Hapless Sidekick In A Craptastic World. The story had some fantastic ideas on paper, but the structure and planning was fundamentally a mess. This reboot has had a lot of love and care put into it, and I hope it rectifies a lot of the mistakes and issues with the original.

Thank you for supporting me ♥.

Soune Argent wants a quiet life.... more>>

However, such a privilege is rare on Durendel.

Pockets of civilisation are kept in check by growth-hungry corporations and a stern-handed government. Any and all actions are watched by an orbital ring ready to stifle conflicts before they can start, scouring outcasts and undesirables from the face of the scarred planet. All for the sake of maintaining peace.

Soune Argent is a victim of this peace. Narrowly saved from the destruction of her home as a child, she was raised in and taught to survive the chaotic lands that litter the world. Now alone once more, she seeks to claim a spot for herself within an Oasis' and finally live a life free from struggle. The path to peace is hardly a straight one, fraught with conflicts and conspiracy. Along the way, Soune discovers she isn't quite as alone as she thought, or that the history of the world is as straightforward as it seems.

To survive on Durendel is a struggle, to thrive even moreso. To be happy is a fight against the system, a fight worth picking.

Inspired by a myriad of settings and stories spanning from the peaks of high fantasy and sci-fi to low, grounded character driven dramas; Stray Stars blends dark fantasy elements into a conflict-fueled future, focusing on the people who struggle against that world and the connections that are forged from it. <<less

Textbook Definition of a Vaewolf; Hybrid, of Vampire and Werewolf.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Fae of Yore, Cybernetics and Corporate States, and now Vampires and Werewolves. ... more>>

Miles Lykaon was born the heir to the multi-million Fae gold Lykaon Enterprises, a prince to a metaphorical kingdom. But when tragedy struck, and his parents disappeared, he was the left alone to fend off the vultures. A tall order for a young child.

Years later and branded 'incompetent' by a ruthless trade agreement signed under the reality-altering World Court, everything seemed dire and hopeless.

All he had left was grit, wealth, and a magical martial artist butler on his side.

That is, until they appeared. Two monstrous Fae – a Vampire and a Werewolf – altering his destiny forever, in just two bites.

Now, a Vaewolf amidst Fae, Fae-humans and Corporate Overlords, Miles is about to discover worlds he hadn't even known existed.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Note: The story may start off a bit slow, focusing more on establishing the lore and the world at first, rather than the LitRPG itself.

Initially inspired by a glitch in Skyrim, later expanded by mythology, fairy tales, Fae of legend, and of course, the Worlds of Darkness, and Cyberpunk.

I hope you enjoy what you find here. :) <<less

When a daring scientist proposes a radical solution to fortify humans against the otherworldly threats, Lucas, driven by an indomitable will to survive, volunteers to be the experimental pioneer and thus starts the advent of Project A.E.G.I.S. - Advanced Evolutionary Genetic Intervention for Survival.

As the world's last hope, will Lucas be able to protect humanity from the looming threats, or will the pressure of being the solitary savior prove too overwhelming? And what happens when the threat extends to not just that realm but to other realms as well, including Earth where his loved ones still reside?

History becomes legend, legend becomes myth. But never forget, at the heart of every myth lies a grain of truth.... more>>

Centuries have passed since the generation of Champions either fell or vanished, leaving behind a world bereft of Exoene.

In the current day and age, the Champions have become nothing but figures of myth. Only ancient, preserved battlefields and closed portals to other planes of existence proving such godlike personages existed at some point in the distant past.

Forces have been conspiring in the shadows, however. Where most of the world believes that the powers wielded by the generation of Champions were exaggerations at best, fanciful tall tales at worst, ancient organisations and the United Government know that their powers were understated, to put it mildly.

Well-known multicontinental Mega Corporations. Reclusive Ancient Family Clans. Shadow organisations thriving in the cracks and crevices of society. And above them all, the United Government, spearheading a worldwide project to regain what Humanity used to grasp in the palm of their hands.

It all begins with the Resurgence of Exoene.

Year 3318 of the Old Earth calendar.
Third Day of the Month of Verdant Blades.

Two weeks remain until the launch of the New Age of Champions, and Lucian Noxlear couldn’t wait.

Life had been monotonous ever since graduating from university and finding a job. Having always been a bit of a history buff since he was young, it was almost inevitable that he would pursue a degree in aforementioned subject when he grew up.

Unfortunately, while he brimmed with passion, his grades weren’t good enough to pursue an actual career in said field post-university.

Without parents to fall back on and the pressing need to provide for himself, Lucian had no choice but to settle for a typical old desk job and live from day to day.

All that changed when the New Age of Champions, a VRMMORPG inexplicably promoted by the United Government, was announced close to a year ago.

«Forge thy Foundation. Blaze thy Trail. Ascend the mountain of Godhood».

Besides those three phrases, all he knew was that:

1. Four hours in the game was equivalent to an hour in reality.

2. Gold farming was a viable—even promoted—career in -game.

3. Unlike games of the past, players were free to customise most everything about their characters.

For the last eleven months, Lucian had been saving up and cutting down on any unnecessary expenses, eagerly waiting for the day the New Age of Champions, or NAoC, would launch.

Like every other interested party worldwide, he only hope the wait would be worth it. <<less

Author's note:

In this story, I intend to integrate elements from shows I love-- gundam, modern sci-fi shows such as 'The Expanse', add strategic elements from shows such as legend of galactic heroes.

Ultimately, I want the story to end up with a strong sense of hope despite the horrors of conflict. <<less
