We can see a person with long brown hair and a brown beard, dressed in brown leather pants, black dress shoes, a white t-shirt, and a watch on his wrist, walking on a street.
"How long has it been since I've come here again? Eh I don't really care all that much about that."
As the person was walking though Urmland street, in little china, they suddenly stopped outside of an Esoterica and walked in.
When the door opened up, a lady was at the counter, counting tarot cards, with two incense burning in a vase near her.
With a shirne with lit candles, a bonsai tree, skulls, more lit candles, and a seating area with two reclining chairs for relaxation, spread throughout the shop, giving the shop a mythical aura to it.
"Hey, Misty."
"Hey, Roman, come to get a reading done?"
"Nah, I was just passing through the area and thought I'll come see you and Viktor, besides you know tarot cards don't work on me."
"But they do work R, all I see is a wobbly image, where I can't make out anything but they do work, it's almost like you're not bounded by fate, weird isn't it?"
"Yeah, pretty weird but this is night city, the land of weirdness, good talk but I'll see you later Misty."
"Bye, R."
The person, now identified as Roman, walked to Misty's Esoterica back door and it slided open outside to the back of her shop, which showed a clean back shop area with some litter thrown around, and stairs leading down.
Roman then walked down the stairs and slided the gate open to see a person, with short black hair, dressed in a doctor outfit, a ripperdoc tool on his hand, and wearing a pair of sunglasses, Watching a old boxing tape on his old TV, while drinking beer.
"Roman, how's it going."
"The same old, same old."
Roman grabbed a chair and watched the boxing match too, grabbing a beer as well.
"You're still watching this? How old is this? 2050?"
"Come on R, I'm not that old."
"But you act that old."
Roman and Viktor both laugh and sit in comfortable silence until Viktor spoke.
"You should get chipped."
"Come on Vik, you and I both know that I'm not getting chipped."
"I'm not talking about more powerful cyberware that'll make you faster or stronger, hell I saw you wrestle a animal gang member for gods sake."
"I'm asking you to get some survivability cyberware, you're a mercenary and you're still just meat and bones, no titanium bones, or subdermal armor, meaning one shot and you're dead."
Viktor looks straight at Roman in a stern voice and way.
"I know Vik but I don't need it, I'm tougher than you think."
Roman pats his chest with a
"Sigh, why are you so stubborn and hardheaded."
Viktor stops focuing on Roman and is now fousing on the old boxing tape on the old TV, Roman also watches.
--------A few hours pass------
Roman looks down at his watch to check the time.
"Oh, look at the time, I gotta go now, see you later."
"Later, R"
Roman walked out of Viktor's ripperdoc and called his ride, Quarda Turbo-R, which parked itself on Urmland street.
As he got in, the vehicle hummed softly.
"This is one of the coolest cars I have ever modified"
Roman, inside the car, rode out of Urmland Street slowly. Once he was out, he sped up to the average speed and put on his own mix he found songs for and made.
[Now playing: This Fire by Franz Ferdinand]
Eyeeeeeeessss boring a way through me
Paralyze, controlling completely
Now there's a fire in me
"A FIRE THAT BURNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNSSSSSSSS"
As Roman was singing, he looked back at how he got here.
----Flashback----(SpongeBob Narrator Voice)
We see a person, with short black hair, in a brightly lit middle class room, wearing panjams, and flip-flops, fanatically scrolling through a subreddit in his PC.
"Oh, I done did it now, reddit don't got nunthin bout my problem, fuck, one more look, one more look."
This person is Roman in his past life, named Mark.
Mark looked again and found a poll.
"What's this?, I didn't see this the first time I scrolled through here?, I must have scrolled too fast?
(NEW CYBERPUNK 2077 EXPANSION, NAMED PHANTOM LIBRARY!!!!)
"Holy shit, new expansion for cyberpunk 2077, forget my problems, I need to buy it."
Mark brought the expansion and while waiting for it to download, he went to play Skyrim with mods.
But while Mark was playing skyrim, the download glitched and stopped working untill he found a pure white room with a table, and a shadowy figure standing behind it, in the middle of the room in Skyrim.
"What is this room?, I have never seen this room in all my years of Skyrim."
Mark, controlling his character, walked up to the table, with a shadowy figure standing behind the table, and on the table was a ton of potions and food, with names on them.
"Pick as many or as few essences you want."
"Essences?"

"What are all of these?, Might as well drink some to see what they do."
He picked up and drank essence of immortal heart, brain, soul, body, essence of Nomad, essence of wealth, essence of skill mastery, essence of the blank, essence of the broken limiter, essence of genius, essence of overcoming limitations, essence of the hercules method, essence of mythical human, Essence of hanma bloodline, Essence of the First Person Shooter Protagonist, Essence of the Blindspot, Essence of the One man Army, Essence of the Background Music, and Essence of the Rule of Cool
Once he picked the essences and drank them, the cyberpunk expansion started downloading again and the room disappeared, with his character being put in whitehelm.
"I don't see nothing happening to my character or around my character?, so what did it do?"
Mark started thinking about what it did but he didn't think of or find anything, so he gave up and continued playing more Skyrim until it crashed 10 times in a span of an hour with all the mods.
"Alright, that killed my interest in playing Skyrim for today, we go again tomorrow."
Mark looked outside and saw that it was nighttime.
"Damn, I played Skyrim for that long?!, is Cyberpunk finished then?"
Mark look at his steam and saw that Cyberpunk: Phantom Liberty was indeed finished.
"Looks like it did finish download, I can't wait to play it, I gotta keep a somewhat decent sleep schedule."
Mark did his nighty routine, turned on his LED lights, turned on his AC and got nice and comfortable before falling asleep.
Once he awoke, he realized he was in Cyberpunk 2077, as the vibe that he was used to was different than his room, he was sleeping in a alleyway, near a garbage container, and he saw a small food product that is normally used in Cyberpunk 2077 on the ground, near the other side of the alleyway entrance.
"Why am I in Cyberpunk and why am I so calm, useless thinking about that now, now I gotta find the timeline, and year I landed in.

So, um, new book and um I had gotten a severely bad case of lack of motivation, probably because I wasn't getting enough comments.
So I'll try this time to beat that lack of motivation away this time.
The essences got deleted, I ain't doing that again.
