cyberpunk neo-noir

In the distant future, humanity has created cities with the power to control any and all weather conditions. It can be sunny and warm, with a cool breeze, or it could be forever dark and always raining. Vertigo City opts for the latter, and its inhabitants have taken up a cyberpunk style to accompany this setting.

In order to stay nourished in this rainy cyberpunk city, citizens can either take vitamin supplements or, if they have enough money, can get their hands on the highly sought after Crush. This fine powder will not only nourish those who ingest it, but it will give them an unrivaled high.

With this Crush only attainable through obscene amounts of money, black markets have sprung up all across the city to sell the powder for a lower, more feasible cost.

The citizens of Vertigo City will do whatever it takes to get any Crush they can get their hands on. Most will spend all their money just to get some and work their lives away just to keep getting more. They'll do anything to get more. Even if it means they sell themselves for sex. Whatever gets them the ability to get high.All Rights Reserved

NHD by TheHackz

I have sat often in front of the computer, and stared long at the screen without ever writing a word. The synopsis for this project has haunted me since the first person asked me "So, what is it about?", and to this day I have never been able to deliver a straight answer. This book is about a number of things, many of which do not fit evenly into a succinct description. I have tried to make them fit and have found the resulting descriptions ill-representing and dull. Thus, I have decided to go without a description. This book will fade into obscurity no matter what I put here, so I might as well write what's really important. Winter in a city is an especially punishing time. This book comes out of my late nights and early mornings riding the train, and my looking at the window and being able to make out nothing but the blur of the glass. From the outside it may look dead, but certain people know that the inner workings of a city are a true marvel to behold. In writing this, I have tried to capture that marvel and deliver it to you, the reader. This is a book about a city and the people within it. The rest is up for you to read, if you so choose. Pyre lives on whether you experience it or not. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A science-fiction novel, updated whenever there is new material to post. The last cover was AI generated, so I spent some time making a crude cover of my own. For the sake of Wattpad I have divided up the chapters into parts, so everything under "The Glow" is Chapter 1 and so on. If you have read this far into the description, I thank you; you've made it further than mostly everyone before you. I hope you stick around. ⠀⠀

Dark Apocalypse II by HavaniaBella

In an unforeseen cataclysm, humanity turned its own world into a hellish wasteland. The once-glorious civilization now lies in ruins, with bloodthirsty zombies roaming every corner. The few uninfected survivors live every moment in a relentless struggle against the clutches of death. Formerly influential tycoons and high-ranking officials have been stripped of their power and privilege, reduced to ordinary people who often fare worse than those who once lived in obscurity. Once-proud heiresses and daughters of dignitaries have abandoned their arrogance, now begging for the smallest chance of survival. In this broken world, where laws have crumbled and order is no more, strength alone is the key to staying alive. The powerful dominate all, setting the new rules and controlling precious resources. Desperation and fear twist human nature, grinding kindness and compassion into dust, leaving survival as the only creed. In this infernal wasteland, the fight to live is merciless and unending. "I'm not cold-blooded," the protagonist murmurs, gazing at the crimson sky with an unyielding determination to survive burning in their eyes. "I just want to live." As they push their limits to grow stronger, they seek a glimmer of hope in the darkness. But will they be able to hold onto their last shred of humanity, or will this ruthless world consume them completely? In *Dark Apocalypse*, the brutal reality of the end times is laid bare, and the battle for survival has only just begun.

Vicarious ~ World from Ashes {Complete} by CaraAisling

Holy Grail. A drug made to enhance the human body in order to combat the desolate world that was destroyed by the war many years ago. Tested over and over again, many of the subjects died or were turned into unspeakable horrors due to the effects. But there were a handful that had risen past the agony that the drug instilled. Ryker is one such prisoner. The drugs were tested on him and because he survived he became a lab rat. A very pissed off lab rat. When his chance comes to seize freedom, he doesn't waste it. By fate or chance, he comes into contact with the gang Fukkatsu. They are out looking for answers to the drug that infects one of their own; Valkyrie. In search of a cure for it, they are traveling to find the source of the drugs manufacturing, one of which Ryker might be able to assist in. If he were willing. Past the anger and the blind need to get revenge; Ryker might be able to help. But he's not listening and he doesn't play well with others. Not even with the pretty blonde who's in charge of watching over him. Even so, Ryker finds himself lured in by the young man's charms.

NEON DREAMS ||| CYBERPUNK: EDGERUNNERS by kobakkc113

Corruption and violence lurk everywhere in the Megalopolis known as Night City, a place where people do whatever it takes to survive.... Even if it means relying on dangerous cybernetic implants that can eat away at their sanity. [Rogue Amendiares x Male OC]

~•Flatlined•~ [Female V + Judy] by deadwordsx

"It only takes one night to ruin Night City.... " Night City, a heavily polluted futuristic city of California, built upon domestic violence, eddies (eurodollars) and drugs, it has been named the most dangerous place and worst place to live in America. Born into nothing, V, living in the harden streets of Heywood, a low income suburb outside the red light district, was raised by gangs that became family. Night City was cruel, cold, and hardening. In the year 2077, if you wanted to make it to the big leagues, you gotta start at the bottom and just pray you don't flatline. * * * * * * * * * * * ❗⚠️TW/CAUTION⚠️❗: This story will contain some mature themes and content such as but not limited to: -NSFW/$ex -Ďrug Abu$e -Violence (defs alot of that) -$uicide/$uicidal tendiencies This is intended to be an 18+ only book, mature audience. Viewer discression is adviced. And FYI for any Cyberpunk 2077 gamer, I'm still playing the game, haven't even passed 50% completion XD and I do not wanna watch playthroughs for full on spoilers. So this book will mostly be my version of the game's main story with some canon details. I'll try to update the book as I progress through the campaign. [Edit 2/28: Finished my first playthrough, Temp ending, will replay other endings and based book off those details.]

Six Bullets For John Carter by chadeagleton

In the future, thieves don't steal your identity, they steal you. The man didn't care who a client wanted or why, as long as they could pay. He buried his conscience under a mountain of wealth and there it stayed...until he agreed to grow the blonde from Alpha Centauri... Burned by a powerful client, the man fled Mars for the free cities, the anarchist encampments along the Kuiper Belt, and the black market strongholds secreted in the Oort Cloud. But now he's tired of running. A slice-and-splice job has given him a new face and new body, but the rewrite will kill him in a matter of days. He's got a powerful gun, but the weapon only came with six bullets. He's sacrificing everything for revenge, but what will it get him? A violent and philosophical cyberpunk novella.

Chaos Incarnate (Cyberpunk Reader Insert) by Skeptical_Samurai88

Night City, one of the worst places on Earth to call home. Crime runs rampant and everyday is a struggle. Perfect place to raise some hell. Y/N, an outsider with an unknown origin. Sporting an overwhelming amount of power, his reason to be in the city cannot be a coincidence. With Arasaka in an economic free fall, now is the perfect time to strike. With everyone vying for power, only one can stand above all. (Art used isn't mine once again. I hope you all enjoy.)
