Chapter 1: The Continuation of Sin

Next Chapter

Arasaka is the world's longest-running super-company, dating back to the mid-20th century. The young Saburo Arasaka inherited the fledgling company from his father and turned it into a leading global security company. Today, Arasaka is a major arms manufacturer, and they can be seen in military conflicts on all continents. With the support of the latest development of science and technology and the company's infinite capital strength, Arasaka's political and metallurgical goals have been steadily and fully realized. Arasaka's army and agents are not only well-trained, but also absolutely loyal to the head of the company, Saburo Arasaka himself. Despite Saburo's age, his iron grip on the company continues.

Arasaka Yorinobu - the heir to the huge Arasaka Group, is the youngest and only surviving son of the group's head Saburo Arasaka. For years, he had led the Iron Dragon in his search for a way to destroy the Arasaka Corporation, but he soon realized that the corporate giant was invincible, at least, from the outside. Despite the various struggles that Arasaka had fought in Tokyo, Arasaka was never satisfied with the results. Until the last Night City's Arasaka Tower is destroyed by a small nuclear bomb, he realizes that nothing can stop the Arasaka Corporation and his father. Eventually, he left the Iron Dragon and returned to his family.

In 2077, Arasaka developed consciousness transfer technology that can transfer a person's consciousness to a chip called Relic. Death is no longer to be feared, and humanity is granted eternal life. The deceased Saburo Arasaka was resurrected and reborn through the body of his son Yorinobu Arasaka, and he became the world's first immortal, ushering in a new era for mankind.

In the year 2078, in the year after Saburo Arasaka's resurrection, many changes took place, the internal factional strife within the company was completely ended, and the power of the company was finally firmly in the hands of Saburo Arasaka, who was already the veritable immortal emperor of the company.

The race for the mayor of Night City has also come to an end, with Jefferson Perares being elected Mayor of Night City as a lawyer, former district attorney, and now a member of the Night City Council. Jefferson was a politician from the ground up, able to bend and stretch. But if he plays the real thing, he never relents. Deep down, he was an idealist who just wanted all the children of poor families to have an education and a better life. However, in a place like Night City, the law of the jungle usually doesn't live long.

Night City Police Department, Night City's undisputed law enforcement department. It is said that the best way to understand a city is to look at its police force. The NCPD is an underfunded, under-equipped, understaffed organization where all police officers risk their lives every day. It's no wonder that most NCPD officers have lost faith in this thankless job. There is a smell of apathy and corruption in police stations, and under pressure and the nature of their work, many officers respond with brutal and drastic methods when enforcing the law on the streets. Despite this, some police officers still have ideals and devote themselves to protecting ordinary citizens from falling into complete chaos in this urban jungle. For them, the badge is still meaningful in the city, and guns are still a tool used to protect citizens and serve the city. When encountering such fanatical believers, most of the gang gangsters will get to their knees with their heads in their hands. Whoever refuses to cooperate will almost certainly be shot.

Gang clashes in Night City have been repeated over the years. Gangs here vary in structure, hierarchy, and background. Violence is a major cause of organized crime in the city.

In short, there has been a change of power at the top, and the people at the bottom are still living in dire straits, and there have been people who want to make changes, for example, in 2023, Johnny Silverhand led a team to raid Arasaka's headquarters in Night City. Johnny is seen dead by Adam Hammer's gun. However, the team was unable to recover his body. After the Arasaka headquarters was blown up. It can only be assumed that his body has dissipated into dust with the nuclear explosion. Adam was last seen fighting Morgan Black Hand on the crumbling Night City Arasaka Tower, and what happened to him after that is unknown.

Decades later, in 2077, a mercenary with an unshady identity single-handedly entered the Arasaka Tower, killed Adam Hammer alone, and then disappeared.

"Well, awesome, these are all legends of Night City." A young man in a camouflage jacket recounts the history as if it were a story, and he looks excited, as if he had experienced it himself.

In a restaurant in Heywood's Mernbrunn district, two young people are resting at the bar

"Hey, are you listening, Alan?"

The young man named Ailan glanced back at him, "Well, I listened, are you ready for today's exam?" Jason. ”

Wearing a plain black long-sleeved shirt and a pair of black-rimmed glasses, Alan looked relatively quiet, his fingers tapping quickly on the keyboard, like a pianist. In contrast, Jason looks very flamboyant, with exaggerated hairstyle, messy metal ornaments, and colorful patterns on his clothes, this young man from Heywood looks like a Valentino gang.

"It doesn't matter if he takes the exam or something, Uncle Ben is ready to make a name for himself in the future and become a legend of Night City."

Alan shook his head helplessly: "However, where did you hear all this from just now?" I don't remember you being so fond of history. ”

When Jason heard this, he instantly came to his senses: "I tell you, I heard these things from the priest, and although the old man is a lot older, he is Heywood's best middleman. ”

"I can't see it, you kid still knows such a big person."

"Don't underestimate me, maybe I'll be the boss of the future Valentino gang in the future." Jason said smugly.

"Oh? Well, when is your future boss going to clean the warehouse? A tall figure appeared behind Jason at some point, wearing a red vest jacket, a large back comb, and a metal necklace around his neck.

"Huh? Boss, when did you come, I didn't even find out, oh! I see, you must have the latest prosthetics, no wonder. Jason looked thoughtful.

Seeing him like this, the man suddenly became angry, and smashed his fist on Jason's head, beating him to the point that his eyes were full of stars: "Stinky boy, you're flamming your tongue again, grinding foreigners, see how I clean you up, go!" Wipe the shelves in the warehouse spotlessly, or you won't want this month's salary! "This hot-tempered man is the owner of this restaurant, everyone calls him Buck, I heard that he was a well-known mercenary when he was young, and I don't know why he has opened a restaurant now.
