by Ghost of Night City
This is the unformatted version of the Cyberpunk 2077: SECOND_CHANCE Omnibus.Night City, "The City of Dreams." For Will, it's a living nightmare. Born and raised in the Watson gutters, ex-cop Will Scrap didn't just hit rock bottom...he crashed through it. Now he's scraping by in squalor, months behind on rent, and saddled with bargain-bin chrome that's slowly killing him from the inside out. Now, in the aftermath of V's daring raid on Arasaka Tower, Will finds opportunity, and the most rarest of things in all of Night City: a second chance.
