I really like the explanation you have for fate. I’ve never believed that it was truly an on the rails thing or an inevitable thing. But this also gives credit to those that both believe that fate can be changed or that it can’t. They’re just following their own faith and the clash is what will decide it. But enough philosophical shit, we got the mission and it’s a fucking doozy. Again I’m getting the Courier vibes with how one man will decide the fate of nations. That is what the corps basically are in this world, the monetary personification of nations, especially Arasaka and Militech. My take, destroy them both and any other that he can while he’s at it. None of them are innocent and all of them deserve to burn. I don’t know how he’ll be able to do it we will have to wait to see what pulls he gets but the simplest way he could go about it is to bring about the AI apocalypse that is brewing in the background by taking down the Blackwall. If he gets supremely lucky then their are several pulls that could help him take control of those dangerous AI’s that he could plug into the networks and have them lay dormant until he calls upon the end. That’s just a thought. Can’t wait to see how he goes about starting his mission. Have a good one man!

How come precog didnt show him that he was gonna be shot? I know it was out of his view but he should still have seen/felt himself being shot. I’ve had the assumption that its a passive ability

Ngl feel like him getting shot was plot bc the description of precog was said to be passive unless actively used like a sharingan. Like I can get why he ‘needed’ to get shot “overconfidence is a poison” but nothing much outside of the bruised ribs would have changed if he didn’t get shot. He probably to definitely would have still thought ‘I’m dumb af for not expecting that thank precog’ and the chap would have been the same. Like I don’t feel any personal dislike for what happened. But it does feel like forced plot when something happens that just shouldn’t to me.

Bronz Deck

Precognition is an active ability that does not happen unless he actively uses it. It only activates automatically if he were to die without it, if not, he has to actively look into the future.

Bronz Deck

Precognition is active and consumes energy, but it automatically activates if he is about to die.

Thank you for responding fast wasn’t expecting that, but I also feel the need to retort because first the description says impending dangers that by definition can include anything that would harm you not exclusively deathly situations or things that’d kill you that is a passive by definition of the abilities own description. Second it also says when you focus on doing so you then can see a few moments into the future which is why I made the whole sharingan thing. THAT by its own description is an active use of the ability and would make it an active. So I have to disagree with you it a passive first active second by its own description. Also with the other guy who said the same thing about energy consumption it would feel less forced looking if you implied it said something about energy reserves being low, or something like bro feeling tired or drained to make it look less ‘he got shot bc yes’. Again I don’t dislike it I just want to point it out I’m messing with the story like all your other works. But if precog is gonna full stop be an active then yeah u gonna need to change the description but that’s just me.

Also I hope I don’t sound like an ass I’m just saying how I view the ability because with something like this the abilities descriptions if not out right cold cut clear leaves room for interpretation for how the ability works and can make other ppl view or use the abilities in other way’s from its description. Like how to you (despite being the creator of the CG/author) see it as only active and only gets visions of dangers that’d kill him, I can see it differently and would have used it differently which I find cool. So I don’t want to sound or look like I’m bashing and saying ‘ur dumb and don’t know how to use ur own powers’ because I’m not I’m just saying from how I see the power he shouldn’t have gotten shot but as I’ve said I don’t mind it I can tell WHY he did just that from my view of the ability it felt to me he shouldn’t have been.

Bronz Deck

Yeah I'll admit that's on me, Precognition which is an earlier ability which means it is written rather loosely, I'll change its description in the coming chapters.

Lavega6599

I would say you don’t really have to and can just change the chapter a bit to say he was tired but if this is gonna be a consistent thing with him getting hit or snuck by things that wouldn’t kill him via him fumbling or other reasons it’s probably would be best to go back and change the description so you don’t have ppl go ‘that doesn’t make sense’ every time it happens when he has it slotted in. Good story so far and thanks for listening I hope i didn’t sound to dickish.

I’d love to see this turn into a series, alongside the Overlord-based one. I am curious as to how both stories would play out and pray to RNGesus it happens. Excellent Work as always, Bronz. Cannot wait for what’s next! :)
