Alast brokeness struck me(updated)

Roman looked around the alleyway, while he was still on the hard alleyway floor, which looked like a regular alleyway with tons of pipes, signs, and electrical wiring all around the alleyway, with trash and a few cardboard boxes scattered all around, he also noticed it was nighttime.

Roman also looked down to check if he any clothes on, only to see that he had on a tight light brown shirt, that highlighted his chest muscles, brown cargo pants, a watch on, and a credit card on the ground next to him.

"How did I get chest muscles?, how did I get a light brown shirt and brown cargo pants on?, what is this credit card?, how can I see in the dark?, and what are all these senses?, hmm it must be from the essences that I should have read before drinking them, now that I think about it."

Roman put the credit card in his pocket and got up, when he stood up, he felt so much more smarter, and powerful, he felt like he could hit like a tank, tank a nuke point blank, and endure even the most diving into a black hole with no spacesuit on.

Roman also felt like he has the eyesight of an eagle with a sniper rifle, smell any trail left behind, hear a gunshot from miles away, taste what was used in any food, and felt like he could feel so much more things with his fingers now.

He also knew a lot of information of driving, plotting, how to write and speak in many different languages, and how to get out of this situation.

"This feeling of powerfulness could become very addicting, but I don't feel that pull no more, because I'm bulit different, nows the time to halt the pretense and get to work."

Roman walked out of the ally and was met with tall highrise buildings with slick urban elements involved in the buildings, homes and apartments with the same slick urban design that the highrises use, expect the homes and apartments use a more stylish cool version of the slick urban design, people, cars, lampposts, cracked concrete, pot holes, neon signs, hanging from shops, fire hydrants, and tiny bugs moving past him and other people.

He also saw some gangs walking around, homeless people sleeping on the sidewalk, and a nightclub that had two floors, cherry blossoms in their parking lot, and a neon sign that read.

"Atlantis, the nightclub for con men, murders, mercenaries, and more. If any place could help me find out what time I'm in, it'll surely be Atlantis or you know the news, but cable news only operate at the top of the hour during nighttime, giving short updates, rerunning their programs they did earlier this day and the fact that I ain't got no TV to watch said news, so Atlantis it is."

Roman walked over to the nightclub, but stopped mid way.

"How am I going to get in? This is a nightclub, so they must have bouncers and they will ask for my ID and I don't have that, but it didn't seem that way when johnny went, but he's an unreliable narrator, so I can't really trust that and he looks old, now wait a minute."

Roman walked over to the nearest reflective surface and put his face near the surface, to see that he had mixed European and Japanese descent, a sharp chinline, long black hair that is tied in a man bun, with one gray eye and one blue eye, smooth skin, with a small tan, that highlights his features even more.

Roman had but one thought going through his head, once he saw himself.

"DAMN!!!, I LOOK MAJESTIC AS HELL!!!"

Once Roman got over his majesticness, he walked back over to Atlantis towards the bouner and stopped, Infront of the 5'8 bouncer, full of muscles, which Roman towers over.

"Hold your horses, where's your ID"

Roman started checking his pockets, even though he knew he didn't have a ID, to make it seem like he forgot his ID.

"Fuck, I think I forgot it at home, can you let me through though, I'm here to have some partying time."

The bouncer hearing this, scanned Roman's face to determine whether he should let him in or not.

"You're good, come in."

The bouncer opened the door to Atlantis and Roman walked in .

He was met with a dancefloor with people dancing on it, a Atlantis sign above the dj, neon yellow lights around the dancefloor, white mist on the dancefloor, from the roof above the dancefloor, long bar tables facing the dancefloor with bar stoods, metal scaffolding that is pointing lights at the dancefloor, stairs going down, and a bar on his left, with various brands of alcohol and foods, in packaged bags.

Roman walked past the dancefloor and walked up the stairs at the back of Atlantis to got to the second floor.

When he entered the second floor, everybody's eyes were on him, from con men, swindlers, to 15- minute celebs, and long forgotten legends.

Some looked at him in confusion and some in assumement, but the one thing they all wanted to know was, what this person wanted and why they look so majestic, so they all kept a eye on Roman.

Roman walked to the bar located in the middle of the floor and sat on a barstood, unfazed by all the eyes on him and made plans on how to escape if things go south.

"I'm here for information."

The bartender, with short hair, a healthy body, and a caucasian skin tone, heard this and looked at Roman.

"What kind of information, choom?"

"Information on all the things that happened in night city, in this year."

"Hmmm, I can do that, but it'll cost you."

"How much we talking here."

The bartender contemplated for a bit before landing on a price.

"100,000 Eddies."

"Hmmm"

Roman remembered the credit card in his pocket, but did nothing with it as everybody's eyes were on him.

"Looks like I don't gt the money yet, could come back with the money."

"I'll be waiting til you get the money, choom."

Roman got off the barstood and walked out of Atlantis.

--End of Flashback---(spongebob narrator voice)

"Ah, that was a good memory."

Roman passed under the bridge near his apartment, and parked in the alleyway, he got out of the car, turned off the car, locked it, and entered the lobby of the apartment, not before seeing the homeless camp under the bridge.

I'm just putting this small section here to say, that there may be some continuity issues cause I haven't played cyberpunk 2077 in a while.

Also he haven't used his extra powers that come with his essences because he don't know them yet.
