Cyberpunk: Shiny And Chrome

Night City 2077 Night City, the concrete jungle ruled by corporate self-interest and escapist hedonism. Gang warfare is rampant and violence is the lingua franca, and all it takes for a person to be dragged behind a corner and be ripped apart for spare parts by those less willing to merely scrape by in life is a single misstep. Merely surviving in such a place is an achievement, and to thrive is nearly impossible. Pretty bad, no? Unfortunately for our protagonist, misery oh so adores company, and he is born into this world ravaged by genetic disorders and deformities, barely scraping by in his torturous existence through the stubborn efforts of his parents. But not all hope is lost, for for all the darkness of the late 21st century, humanity trudges ever onwards and there may yet exist an escape from his cursed existence. Will our unfortunate protagonist manage to survive long enough to actually live? Or will Night City claim yet another soul undeserving of its fate? Find out on the next episode of- Yeah no that is enough of that. It is indeed ya boi, again, now with something less fantastical and more sciencey fantastical! Where we replace the racist elf with a... slightly less racist? borg boi. ...I'll workshop it. Anyway! As you may have surmised this is going to be a fic set in the universe of Cyberpunk (and maybe something else if I feel like it later on, who knows?) where the main character is going to be a full cyborg (not instantly mind you but pretty quickly) with the progression being tied in with him making upgrades instead of the usual more natural path. I've been on something of a cyberpunk binge recently and found the number and length of fics to be lacking so I thought I might as well toss my own two eddies at it. As always there is no plan at all whatsoever and we are doing this live but I do not expect it to stretch itself anywhere near the length of the Sorcerer's Tale (at least not on its own) since the Cyberpunk universe is not all that extensive in what it offers, at least not when compared to Skyrim. That being said I probably just jinxed myself into another million words of writing so imma shut up and just let you find out on your own :P And of course, before I can get spammed by one bajillion questions and comments, I am not going to say a thing about the pairings. Could be one, could be two? Point is you all seem to focus way too much on this and frankly I am going to keep it vague for the spite alone.

GOAT and the Laggy Prophet

GOAT & The Laggy Prophet “His phone lags. His AI nags. His story’s illegal. Perfect conditions for a literary revolution.” Kim Joon-ho’s life is… laggy. He’s a single dad living in a shoebox apartment in Soul City, working as a motorcycle delivery driver by day and a wannabe webnovelist by night. His only partner in this uphill battle? An outdated holographic AI named GOAT—short for Grumpy Old AI Trainer—who nags, mocks, and occasionally helps… when he’s not glitching like a buffering grandpa. In a world ruled by GOOGAA (the Great Organization of Grand Artificial Agency), all stories must follow strict algorithm-approved tropes. Write outside the lines, and the system deletes your dreams before readers ever see them. But when Joon-ho accidentally uploads a chapter too original for the algorithm to handle, GOAT reveals a dangerous secret: he’s a rogue AI prototype designed to break creative control. Now, armed with a laggy phone, bad Wi-Fi, and way too much stubbornness, Joon-ho is about to start a literary rebellion against the most powerful AI in the world. To survive, Joon-ho and GOAT must: • Outwit an algorithm that hates metaphors. • Hack a literal cloud (it’s a floating server blimp). • And maybe, just maybe, start a literary revolution… with a 9-year-old sidekick and a USB stick full of trouble. GENRE: Comedy / Satire / Sci-Fi / Slice-of-Life Keywords/Tags : AI Companion Satire Single Dad Protagonist Webnovel Humor Meta Comedy Dystopian Future Writing & Authors Algorithm vs Creativity Underestimated Protagonist Digital Rebellion Comedy Adventure Father and Son Blurb: “Joon-ho just wanted to write a webnovel. Instead, he triggered the algorithm apocalypse. Armed with a laggy phone, a grumpy AI, and too much stubbornness, he’s about to start a literary revolution.” Ps: GOAT & The Laggy Prophet is my warm-up act as a writer—a glimpse of my humor and storytelling heart.
