NOVEL NEXT Chapter 2: Chapter 2: Silent Blade
The neon-lit streets of Night City stretched endlessly, an urban jungle where the law was as fragmented as the broken promises of its rulers. The night hummed with the noise of distant gunfire, the chatter of street vendors, and the ever-present pulse of augmented bodies and flickering holograms. Among it all, a figure moved through the shadows, silent, unseen—a predator that struck only when necessary.
Diablo Ackerman, known on the streets as the Cyber Reaper, was no ordinary soldier. His appearance, draped in a battle technology suit, seemed like something out of a ghost story—a mask covering his face, leaving only cold, calculating eyes exposed. He was a man with no past, a weapon with no loyalty but to himself and those few he deemed worthy of his trust.
The streetlights flickered as he approached a nondescript alley, his boots barely making a sound against the rain-soaked pavement. The scent of oil and burning rubber mixed with the stench of sweat and fear that permeated the air. His hand instinctively gripped the hilt of a katana sheathed at his side, the blade humming softly within its scabbard as if it were alive.
Diablo: its been a year already huh?...its Raining??
Raining Sound~~~~~~
Diablo: Sigh~ sometimes i love you rain and sometimes not... I remember the day i suddenly thrusted in this world that day is rained heavily too even with the powers and abilities that i got.. yet my mentality/mind cannot keep up or adjust immediately
Diablo: I'm not like some lucky protagonist in the novel or Chinese protagonist that he will kill all the villain in one chapter get op, have a harem and live what ever he want
Diablo: Even this day i always get homesick, the Despair and the Hollow feeling its feel pathetic, i always thought that i can keep up with them be better than them if i ever come to the cyberpunk world but the reality give me a hard slap HAHAHAHA....
Suddenly my thought broken by a call
Beep! Beep!
Diablo: Yes?
The caller said: Reaper , The target is at the Grand Liberty Tower. You have two hours to complete the job. Make it clean. Make it quick.
Diablo: Understood
As the call ended, Diablo disappeared into the night, blending with the shadows, his figure becoming one with the darkened cityscape. With every step, he moved closer to his goal—and closer to the deadly encounter that would change his life forever.
