Waking up Jason finds himself in a room, 'It's been a long time since I came to this world.The days of living in constant danger have passed , I have become powerful enough to protect myself and… ', he turns to otherside only to find the love of his life, staring at him.
He smiled at her "Heyy…can't sleep?", she doesn't answer him, just keeps staring at him.
The darkness in the room seemed to have increased or maybe he just noticed it .
Jason tries to move his hand towards her, only to find he couldn't move it, his body was unresponsive.
He tries to speak but no voice comes out.
In the dark room only he and she remains, her blue glowing eyes are the only light in this darkness, her face doesn't show any emotion for his questions.
'What is this creepy situation!'
Staring at her,he finds himself drawn to her glowing eyes, the glow in them seems to be increasing, the darkness seems to go away as the blue light spreads throughout the room, he tries to move away but finds himself stuck to his bed.
The light gets brighter and brighter as it completely swallows him.
[ Location : Night city landfill ]
Jason opens his eyes as he finds himself in a sterile tiled room, he sits up gasping air.
{You're finally awake}, he signs at the voice in his head.
'Although I have gotten my memories and have seen the system myself, it still feels a little, for lack of a better word, unsynced.'
To get much needed answers ,he asked the 'other him','So what should I call you? Also can you read all my thoughts…and… did you modify my memories?'
{Okay…calm down…First NO I can't read all your thoughts, you have to have the intent for me to read them, as for modification to your memories short answer is yes, but long answer is complicated…}
{Before anything though…I would like to make it clear, I am You, digitally. It's like you are my body or physical manifestation and I am your digital manifestation.I came from a system perk and although I have my own thoughts , I am not a separate entity. I suggest we should work together to make ourselves as powerful as possible.}
'So I just have to believe you're not some evil AI living in my head, pretending to be me…huh? I am very concerned about the so-called complicated part of the MY memory modification…can you or 'me' elaborate on that ?'
{AHH…fine if you don't trust me , we have to work together regardless , unless you can uncheck the perk , I will always be the voice in your mind. As for the memory modification, you went cyberpsycho , your mind was broken, if not for me protecting your mind, you would not be speaking right now. I separated all the emotions in your memories, it's like a BD without any emotions or a video i guess. Some parts are missing ,like the person whose betrayal led your capture or the torture you went through. It's necessary for you to have a stable mind ,for planning and revenge, not stupid emotions.We need to get strong before we do anything.}
Sign…
'Guess you are right about that…was it that bad'
{Yes}
{We will take revenge on all of those who have harmed us.But first we need to become more powerful, the more powerful we are, the more options we will have.}
He clenches his fist, takes a deep breath to calm himself.
'So what are we going to do now ?'
{we are going to gear up…then hunt for exp.}
As he said that, sections of tiles on the walls began to move , what appeared were rows of cybernetics.
"Wow, how did you get these?"Jason was surprised.
"I am not sure if I want to be fully chromed out yet."
{These are for your nanites, they will absorb them and optimize them for your body to use,the best part is you don't have to even see some shady ripper doc,you don't have to sacrifice your flesh for anything,so just put your hand on them and will your nanites to absorb them.}
Taking a deep breath to calm himself.
He tries to force himself from the bed , pain fills every part of his body.
"ughh…"
As soon as his legs touch the ground , he feels like thousand needles pricked at the bottom of his feet.
"Dammit…"
Tolerating the pain, he walks towards the cybernetic parts.
'Tell me about all the parts here'
{These are all latest tested prototypes that I acquired from several sources, what is important to note is they are all overclocked and has no safety limits put on them}
'So they are unsafe.'
'Are there any guarantees that these will not blow up in my face?'
{It should be safe as your nanites will bear the burden and at most we may have to replace those nanites, they can eat other minerals or machines to be mass produced.}
{Start with the bones and you can choose from there}
Jason touches the artificial bone cybernetic, black tendril like structures sprouts from the tip of his fingers and slowly started to cover the whole cybernetic part
Once it was fully covered, it melted and merged with his body.
Then moved to the neuron system, painblockers, eyes, legs, skin, hands.
{Now,try to think about activating your cybernetics, the nanites will do the rest}
Jason follows his advice and thinks of activating all his cybernetics.
