Transmigrating: Starting in the Cyberpunk World
by TalkFicToMe
Summary
"I knew I was handsome enough to be a protagonist, but I didn't think it would happen like this."
In the neon-drenched, filth-encrusted streets of Night City, survival isn't a goal—it’s a full-time job. Kael used to be a rising star at Arasaka Academy, a scholarship student with a genius-level talent for firearm technology. Now? He’s just another face in the crowd, flipping synthetic starch flatbreads filled with "meat" that used to have six legs, all while dodging stray bullets and Tyger Claw shakedowns.
In a city that eats dreams for breakfast, Kael has learned the golden rules: keep your head down, pay your protection fees, and never—ever—turn around when a stranger calls your name. But his quiet, cowardly life is upended when his past literally catches up to him in the form of Lucy, a high-tier Netrunner neighbor who once stole his tuition and now demands his technical expertise.
Just as the pressure of the streets reaches a breaking point, Kael’s reality fractures. He awakens in a mysterious, void-like space, only to come face-to-face with versions of himself from across the multiverse—a Pilot from the Frontier (Titanfall 2), a Ghoul from the shadows of Tokyo, a slayer of Goblins, and a hero in a world of Marvels.
With a shared "cheat" that connects his many selves, Kael is no longer just a street vendor hiding from Arasaka’s shadows. From the depths of Night City to the edge of the galaxy, the legend of the "Simultaneous Traveler" begins.
Night City, you son of a bitch... get ready to burn.
