Angel, 40-something, a father of two and a loving husband, had the house all to himself. His wife had taken the kids to visit her parents for three days. Three glorious days of silence, snacks, and no responsibilities.
He bolted upstairs, booted the PC, and cracked a grin.
"Time to go full chrome."
He opened Cyberpunk 2077 and started the update.
"Finished the game enough times… This time, we do things differently."
He headed straight to Nexus Mods. Like a surgeon customizing a human weapon, he downloaded:
✔️ Henry Cavill model — taller, leaner, more muscled than default V. "Damn, he looks like a god. I need to hit the gym… after this."
✔️ Triple Life Path mod: Streetkid → Corpo → Nomad. "Born in the streets, climbed to the top, threw it all away. That's depth."
✔️ Better Kerenzikov ✔️ Optical Camo – No Cooldown ✔️ Hybrid Cyberdeck-Sandevistan-Berserk ✔️ Infinite stamina + super speed legs mod ✔️ Reflex Accelerator – drastically increases reaction speed and sprint velocity ✔️ Just Faster Sprinting – increases base running speed significantly in all conditions ✔️ Mantis Blades with Arasaka ninja skin ✔️ Arm Cycle System – switch between Gorilla Arms, Launcher, Monowire on the fly ✔️ Cyberpsychosis = 0 (always stable) ✔️ Expanded cyberware slots ✔️ Infinite jump ✔️ Threat Scanner Mod – automatically highlights any nearby threat or hostile entity ✔️ Better Kiroshi Cockatrice Optics – combines all Kiroshi models into one with full gig, thermal, and threat overlays ✔️ In-Depth Scanner Suite – scans targets for chrome compatibility, condition, and user history ✔️ Ripperdoc Expansion – allows chrome to be swapped on the fly, mid-combat or mid-dialogue
"Why pick one weapon… when you can be all of them? Except the Malorian Arms 3516 — that dark, polished modded beast is all I need."
He adjusted the files manually.
"Just a little boost to make him stronger. I don't want to lose… to anything."
Then came the save editor.

Money: 1 million eddies
"It's not that much! I've never spent more than 500k in-game anyway."
He launched the game. The character was perfect.
"Damn… this V looks like Superman had a baby with a samurai."
He picked the Nomad start, modded with Corpo and Streetkid backstory layers.
The game began. He removed the Bakkers patch from his jacket and approached the old mechanic near his car.
Then — he quicksaved, exited the game, and chuckled.
"Time for laundry before my wife yells at me…"
He ran outside. Storm clouds were thick above. A sudden crack of lightning struck — not far, but on him. His vision went white. His chest shook. His brain burned.
Then… silence.
