I fell into the world of a cyberpunk recreation I watched evenly half a yr in the past.

Actually mild, I’m not a fan of this recreation, and I can’t keep in mind the technique.

And, I fell right here principally bare. Nanomachines within the physique, cyberware, biometric IDs that everybody right here has… however I don’t have any of that.

In a darkish future metropolis with a dystopian worldview, I’m an unlawful resident of the bottom class with nowhere to go and nothing I can do.

I’m f**ked.

* * * * *

And half a yr has handed. Not precisely half a yr, however about 5 months.

It was 5 months, but it surely was a really hellish time that felt like 5 years.

Many issues occurred in that point span.

Having endured so many ups and downs, thus I could have exaggerated a bit.

And but, right here I’m.

On the planet of cyberpunk recreation, the place are megacity of the Americas—a metropolis filled with chrome and neon, drones and robots, solely Nightfall Metropolis feels acquainted like dwelling.

It began with all of a sudden falling into the center of a avenue filled with neon indicators whereas having a shower and buzzing lululala within the lavatory at dwelling.

After the analysis heart was blown up on account of a dispute between firms, I managed to flee and survive.

Nevertheless, solely my life was saved, and I had no correct standing, no cash, and no capacity to face alone. Assist me please! I even tried praying to god for assist.

Fortunately, I entered an organization below a high-ranking CEO, labored like a canine, and in some way ended up right here…

Trying again on the previous like this, it makes me unhappy.

What did I do mistaken to finish up in the course of this f**king metropolis?

In fact, I appreciated cyberpunk.

A huge forest of skyscrapers, media façades filling up the partitions, and monorails operating by town heart, and billboards filled with oriental work beneath…

Web encompassing each cyborgs and androids, machines and people, a system of surveillance and management that coexists inside vastness and freedom.

And megacorp overlooking every thing, and small bars within the slums. A decadent arcade full of purple and blue lighting.

All of this in a single recreation. It’s romantic in itself, how may you not prefer it?

However I don’t prefer it to the purpose the place I need to find yourself in it myself.

It’s mentioned that something is gorgeous when seen from a distance, and cyberpunk can be lovely when loved solely as a recreation.

Simply because know-how and science have superior doesn’t imply it’s good. No less than right here, there are a lot of, many occasions extra unhealthy than good.

Even in Korea within the twenty first century, not the Nightfall Metropolis of 2107, the place I’m now, the plight of unlawful immigrants with out their resident registration card was really hopeless.

An unidentified particular person from a previous world, on this insanely managed society the place each citizen’s biometric ID is saved in a database, tracked and monitored by the nanomachines contained in the physique, and each job and full society is below Megacorp’s grasp. What’s the scenario of unlawful immigrants?

So in lengthy story brief, horrible.

Though, he in some way managed to discover a job and a pretend id by beating the CEO.

It doesn’t change that he’s ready of worry that he can be detected every time drones, metropolis police, or company android troopers cross by.

And it doesn’t finish there. It’s not only a downside that solely he’s experiencing, however a elementary downside of this metropolis and the world itself.

Cyberpunk is a world the place it’s troublesome for folks to make a residing. It’s not harsh, however actually harsh. It’s not simply arduous, it’s f**king arduous.

It’s just like the world of an edge lord, the place gangs run rampant—the police who need to cease it are corrupted, life is hard because of the tyranny and extortion of the businesses that dominate town, and environmental air pollution has reached the extent of world doom.

Individuals have misplaced hope and are hooked on actual medicine and even digital digital medicine.

Lots of of individuals take their very own lives each day, however firms don’t even care.

As a result of they’ve reached a stage of know-how enough sufficient to exchange the meager human labor power.

Even when tons of of individuals die, hundreds of employees migrate to town of freedom and openness with unrealized fantasies.

In a world the place human life is price lower than that of a fly, it’s a metropolis the place folks die extra simply than a fly. Nicely, a dystopia will not be a dystopia with out plenty of demise.

How will I get out of this world?

Even Korea within the twenty first century, which was so cursed, is sort of a paradise on earth when in comparison with this place.

I don’t know what number of occasions I cried as a result of I missed the previous world.

There are such a lot of video games that I’ve loved taking part in, why the hell did I’ve to fall into an f**king cyberpunk recreation?

If Gods do exists, I need to argue with them for why I ended up right here.

In fact, I’m glad I didn’t get caught in a recreation that makes you battle towards demons in hell, a recreation that makes you hunt monsters within the Center Ages, or a horror recreation the place you’re chased by aliens….

If solely it wasn’t a recreation with such a horrible worldview, however a courting simulation recreation, or a recreation set in a fantasy academy, that follows the clichés of contemporary internet novels.

There are many good and completely happy supplies to select from. I’m not a masochist, who solely performs video games in a darkish world.

Sure, let’s say the world view is like that. I can perceive.

I do not know why I needed to fall into the sport world within the first place, but when I had to enter the sport world anyway, cyberpunk is best than a medieval setting, a hellish setting, or a horror recreation setting. If it’s Safeng, it’s most likely a flat hit.

Possibly the issue isn’t the world. However as a result of the world is so polarized, the lifetime of the decrease class is a lifetime of livestock, which isn’t like a human being, however the lifetime of the higher class is really an opulent life that absolutely enjoys the advantages of know-how.

In the long run, the explanation the world appears so f**king loopy to me is as a result of I’m not the higher class, however the decrease class.

I’m not in a position to absolutely adapt to this society due to my lack of capacity. Rattling it.

However is that my fault?

Nonetheless, in trendy occasions, he was a promising school pupil who went to a faculty that may make folks nod their heads simply by listening to his title. It’s mentioned that he was ready of concerning the center class, if not the higher class.

Because the world we stay in has modified, the category will change and our talents may even change.

The issues he studied had no that means in any respect right here, and he’s left alone with nothing to do.

All the issues, I believe, are as a result of I got here into this world as a traditional, lower-ranking citizen.

In fact, if it’s fully regular, it’s not like that, however let’s discuss that later.

In the long run, what I’m attempting to say, that it’s unfair.

If solely I used to be given the cliché capacity to take a gun and minimize every thing like the principle character in a novel. If solely there was a tough sounding man who tells you what it’s a must to do, like in RPG video games.

Or, in keeping with the favored cliché lately, in the event you may proceed from the place you left your in recreation character.

Wouldn’t it have been good in the event you had entered the sport as my character who had taken the ending and half-conquered town? The customization was properly finished, and the weapons, and hacking had been all leveled as much as a typical stage.

Both that or give me a warning. Then I might have memorized every thing like recreation technique and hidden items from the web earlier than coming right here.

If I had been an individual who knew all the data within the recreation, I might have been in a position to eat in an upper-class seat as simply as a cake.

There are such a lot of professional gamers in earth, however why did destiny select me, who left these folks alone and watched the ending after taking part in evenly for about ten hours?

Simply why… It was half a yr filled with such complaints. Whereas I’ve been residing on this hell, nearly half a yr has handed.

I hate to confess it, however I’ve tailored to this metropolis. I’m considerably used to residing right here now.

Hologram commercials illuminating the billboards embroidering buildings, and at night time drones and air automobiles flying by town.

Flashing neon indicators and Japanese and Chinese language indicators, mechanized troopers and gang members strolling round.

Even to the style of the disgusting meals, soybean meat and sponge-chewing seaweed bread.

It’s now part of my life. As I mentioned earlier than, I’ve gotten used to it, and now it’s like a second hometown. And It’s a second hometown that I’d like to depart.

If there’s one factor I spotted whereas operating round like that, it’s that this can be a place the place folks stay.

And though I’m a small citizen who doesn’t have any particular talents, I don’t need to die like this.

That’s the conclusion I reached after considering suicide over and over.

I nonetheless had the need to stay. I needed to stay. Wished to stay, I additionally wished to stay a peaceable life.

I gained’t let it finish like this, the lifetime of an strange, horrible, lower-class man who drowned in medicine and withered alive whereas chewing soybean burgers and fried worms.

If I could possibly be the higher class, then it might be nice, and if I may go away this horrible metropolis, that may be fantastic. And if I may in some way discover a approach to return to the world I used to stay in, it might be an added bonus.

If I could possibly be one of many higher class, then I’ll stay with my dignity as a human being, and thus die like a human. I can’t be left to stay as a bottomless, hopeless slave, by no means.

… And to try this, I’ve to go to work arduous right this moment.

As a overseas employee, I grew to become a slave to an organization and needed to work arduous.

F**ok you, what an f**king cyberpunk world.
