[Demons of NC] Chapter 12

The first half of the day I rested after yesterday's action. It’s going to cost me some extra shifts, but I had to let my body recover after the extreme events. I was slowly going through the disc with Jimmy's files.

The account, the bank vault, I haven't had time to get to that yet... Ah...

About twenty minutes after the three-hour surgery, one of the doctors spoke on the comms right next to me.

"No, Mr. Jenkins. Unfortunately, we can't connect you. Yes. Still unconscious. I don't know how long it will take. We've stopped the bleeding, but the patient is developing atypical ne...

I dreamed of Cyberspace. An endless realm of ghostly lights guarding other people's secrets. I'm sure it wasn’t just a dream, but some attempt by my subconscious to process inhuman memories of the Net. In the recent fight, I once again touched another side of my being, disturbing this part of m...

I stood across from Maine, feeling my heart start to race, but my voice remained as firm as ever.

"I'll repeat myself. There’s at most four of you, if the girl decides to join in, but I really wouldn't advise her to do that." I turned towards Lucy and added, "That ice you saw, kid, is jus...

In the evening, I had a strange encounter. Waiting for me by the elevator was a one of those troubled kids, from the streets.

"Are you V?" he asked in a pitiful voice. "The corp guy?"

"Yeah," I replied, carefully placing my hand on the grip of my pistol. "No sudden moves, kid. I'm jum...

Two days later, the surveillance team sent a report that Maine's gang was planning something. By that time, I had already checked in with a ripperdoc. No new implants, just updated the firmware on my cyberdeck.

That morning in Jenkins’ office, I laid it out for him:

“It’s Okamur...

Gloria Martinez will live. I’m not sure if it’ll be a long life or a happy one, but definitely longer than it could have been.

"That’s it for today. Drop me off at home," I said to Lucas, sitting in the car and looking through the window at the cursed clinic.

The next day, for o...

The enemy made their move.

I was already drawing Yukimura. Smart weapons are great, but they need time to lock on. The punk, however, fired at me right away with his old piece of junk. Bang. Then another shot. I felt a heavy blow to my ribs, knocking the wind out of me. Yukimura responded w...

[Demons of NC] Chapter 3

In my old world, there was a word, "isekai." You could only loosely apply it to me. My arrival here wasn't the result of a miracle, coincidence, or the intervention of higher powers. I forced my way into this world. For decades, I fought for my existence in Cyberspace, devouring others like me. N...

"V!"

A loud, insistent voice is droning right next to my ear. Blue sparks flicker in front of my eyes, and I can’t seem to focus.

"V!?"

"Yeah," I respond just to make the voice go away, but the guy keeps talking.

“Damn, you’re alive! I thought your brain was fried fo...

Home, sweet home.

The apartment felt both familiar and foreign at the same time.

I washed my face and glanced in the mirror, catching myself thinking that my own face seemed new to me. Like I was seeing it for the first time. A strange euphoria washed over me. Memories of the shootout...
