Son-Of-Scorn

I wasn't sure about this from the first chapter and I'm not really happy with the second pretty much being a continuation from the first, prologue for me should be a single chapter, however I am curious how Cyberpunk is gonna be altered here, maybe it's gonna merge with HoD unlikely but possible, pulls weren't great but plenty of time for better ones.

Zombies in Cyberpunk? Sign me up! Should probably learn to be a ripper doctor imo but to each there own. Nice chapter liking the demon quite a bit.

Bronz Deck

It's not a world merge or an alter, what made you think that?

Mylael

He's thinking about which world to go to and knows HoTD will be easier than Cyberpunk but wants something with good rewards. So my assumption was zombies added to Cyberpunk would make the world easier, since most people would be fighting zombies corpos and gangs included, while maintaining a higher reward scale.

Bronz Deck

I should clarify then thag it's not either of those, more like an... "Incentive" being offered for something.

Ok. High School of the Dead isn’t that bad of a choice. So long as he gains some type of transportation ability then he would be able to salvage just about anything one could find in a modern day world. He could plunder Fort Knox for all the hard gold he could want, raid abandoned military bases, and whatever else he could think of. He is right in that its relatively low risk so long has he gets some combat abilities. But if that offer at the end is what I think it might be then our patron could decide to combine some universes into one. If that is the case then I’d recommend adding Resident Evil and Dying Light. Things will start if easy but as time goes on then the virus will start mutating into the abominations that the T-Virus and Harran Virus could become. It also opens the path for more bio mutations if the gacha can protect him from completely turning. Cyberpunk though is just as you said. There is a wealth of opportunity in Night City and his pulls will be able to help him out in getting his feet off the ground. Gaining upgrades through implants will also be simpler and he could get lucky in getting some of the more tech focused pulls to really make him super human. Ultimately I think I’d want see Cyberpunk first. Theirs enough struggling at the start to keep things interesting and there are some characters I’d hope he would be able to help out. This is completely a me thing but I’d hope he start before Edgerunners and save Gloria. Everyone needs a sexy Latina milf and he could get the Sandy out if it too. As for other potential worlds. You mentioned Skyrim so I would add Fallout in there as well. There is an ass load amount of loot and potential tech with the entire franchise. I’d personally tackle New Vegas and its DLC’s and make a new settlement out of it all. The Big 3 feels obligatory if only to ransack them for loot and high tier waifus. I’m a gacha player so I’ll add the Hoyo trio in Genshin, Star Rail and Zzz as well as WuWa for fun adventures, powers, and women. If we’re going for medieval fantasy then early Dragon Age, Baldur’s Gate 3 and anything from FromSofts lineup. Sci-fi would be Borderlands, Mass Effect, Xcom and Titanfall. There’s just too many good choices. Good stuff man though I do feel this should have been part of chapter 1. I know you don’t do long chapters but prologue stuff like this should really be a first chapter thing and the second one should be where we jump into the action. Can’t wait for the next one man!

Mylael

Ah ok then, that makes since

Bronz Deck

The deal is more of an incentive/bonus type than a world alteration. I wanted to fit it all in one chapter but as I said yeah, I don't really do long chapters, not really my style. I probably won't do Fallout since Cyberpunk is really enough tech for me, same goes for Hoyo stuff, maybe Genshin but probably not. I'm not big on sci-fi in general, Cyberpunk is really the only exception. I'll probably do a world popularity poll around chapter 5 - 8.

Loghead101

That’s too bad about Sci-fi but nothing to get worked up about. Still plenty of worlds to choose. And now I’m really wondering what you mean by incentives… is it like taking curses to make things more difficult or more optional objectives to complete for bigger rewards. We’ll find out tomorrow but still got me aching for more.

Ben

Cyberpunk all the way hotd is so short a jump that it's insignificant. Kill one teacher blame it on zombies use meta and powers. Profit. I know I'm hand waving but hotd has consistently been a fic killer. Also I think the deal is either a companion, extra mission or drawback for extra rolls.

Maleficarum

Imo, what would be a funny bait and switch for cyberpunk if you’re comfortable enough with the timeline and setting would be instead of Edgerunners or 77, you actually hit the scene during 2020. The grittier feel and more analogue Bladerunner OG style is superior to the neon chrome smooth style of the later additions. It’s why my favorite gang faction is unironically Maelstrom because they still have that 2020 feel to them and their augs.

RJKY

The way it ended it seems like we are angling for a third chapter of introductions. I mean, we know what the chaos gacha is already, we didn't need most of the *first* chapter. Beyond that? The most annoying thing that makes me drop every single Waifu Catalog fic that uses it, it's The Company being an actual character in the story. I don't really care about the actions or opinions of any flavor of incomprehensible eldritch weirdos, not its mouth pieces, regardless of what they are called. I really don't like this, it's two chapters of "this could have been an e-mail".

Bronz Deck

I mean, Gamblers Guide was the same with him getting the system in chapter 1, doing the rolls chapter 2 and actually being in the world chapter 3. I try not to make assumptions when writing so I explain things again both for those who don't know and those who forgot. The story proper starts next chapter where it is done with introductions and setups. Chapter 1 and 2 were needed to properly establish the premise.

Uses dress break on Adam Smasher : Adam gets Smashed

Bronz Deck

Oh I think you will like how Dress Break works on cybernetics.

dragongod0117

wonder how painful getting your synth skin, kiroshi eyes, arm and leg implants, subdermal armor and Mr. Stud/ Midnight Lady atomized at Mach speed, at the same time will be?

dragongod0117

hell, just getting your chip slot blasted leaves a massive hole in your neck.

dragongod0117

Adam is like 98% machine. his body will evaporate.
