Created G.H.O.S.T. System - A Cyberpunk Story

Become a Wraith. Advance Through the Tiers. Don't go Cyberpsycho. Trace had finally gotten his first proper job as an apprentice Wraith, and already everything was going wrong. The information the Job Broker had given him was bad. Now he was left hiding in the middle of a Scav den as they returned. Such was life in Denver in the year 2159. Everything had changed when Steel Goddess Meredith went berserk a hundred and thirty years before. Her wrath was just the first step in the downfall of humanity and the world. The Corporations that were to blame, got pushed aside, while new ones rose up to power. All the while she watched down from above, no longer caring what humans did with Earth. Space, however, was hers alone. This was the world Trace was born into, a harsh, uncaring place. It was also one where it was possible to become practically immortal if you had enough money and could withstand the side-effects. As long as he can keep his cyberware under control, and can keep progressing and learning. Moving through the Tiers to become a specialized Wraith won't be a problem. First, he'll need to survive long enough to escape this den. Preferably with all his parts still attached. (Note: A Wraith is a stealth specialist, not to be confused with the ones from Cyberpunk 2077) --------------------------------------------- I will be uploading new chapters on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. (Note: As with my other stories, this one focuses more on the characters than on constant action. Though it does admittedly have more action than most of my other stories.) Author's Note: This is my raw, mostly unedited, first draft text. I am using RR to test out this story as I'm writing it to get a feel for how the published and edited copy will be received. Certain sections of the story will be changed or added to when I publish it as well.
